Designer Satya Paul passes away in Coimbatore

A name synonymous with fashion over the years and a brand that has been loved by one and all, fashion designer Satya Paul is no more. The ace fashion guru passed away on 6th January 2021 in Coimbatore. His son, Puneet Nanda told ETimes that Paul suffered a stroke in December and was recovering in a hospital. Nanda said, “He had a stroke on December 2 and as he was slowly recovering in the hospital. His only wish was to get all the things he was being monitored and poked with (in the hospital) removed so that he could fly away. We finally got clearance from doctors to take him back to Isha Yoga Center, his home since 2015.”

He added, “Most people are not aware that more than as a designer or an entrepreneur, he has been steadfastly a seeker. In the 70s, his inner journey started as he attended talks given by philosopher J. Krishnamurti. Later, he sought guidance from Osho. After Osho left in 1990, though he wasn’t seeking another Master, he discovered Sadhguru in 2007. He immediately started enjoying the path of yoga and eventually moved here in 2015.”

In fact, Sadhguru, the founder of Isha Foundation took to his Twitter and paid condolences. He wrote, “Satya Paul, a shining example of what it means to live with immeasurable passion and unrelenting involvement. The distinct vision you brought to the Indian fashion industry is a beautiful tribute to this. A privilege to have had you amongst us. Condolences & Blessings.”-

We hope the man's soul rests in peace.
