his youngest daughter, Annapurna


...The long sufferings which Baba had undergone during his early life might have been partly compensated with rather balmy days he saw in later life.  But his heart was not entirely free from grief and not at least as far as his daughter Annapurna Shankar was concerned. Baba doted on her, for she has fully realized most of his dreams of a disciple. Even if her face straightened a little, Baba would visibly be moved. So when despite her valiant efforts to keep from her father the cracks in her apparently happy marriage, Baba could instinctively gauge the depth of her grief, he could not be the same again.
