Namaskar Sarinee,
ॐ शांति शांति शांति
Vaishnavbhavanas manz asinas jaay.
With deep sorrow, we announce the passing of Smt. Shila Kaul on October 6, 2025, in Dallas, Texas.
A woman of grace, intellect, and quiet strength, she devoted her life to her family, her students, and the pursuit of knowledge. Professor Kaul served with distinction as a Professor of Botany, inspiring generations of students through her scholarship, dedication, and love for teaching. Her passion for the subject and her nurturing mentorship have left an enduring impact on her students, many of whom are now spread across the world and continue to cherish her guidance and influence.
At home, she was the heart of her family, a devoted mother and a pious soul whose life was marked by compassion, humility, and unwavering faith. She found fulfillment in serving others and in the accomplishments of those she loved and guided.
Her departure leaves an irreplaceable void in the lives of her family, friends, colleagues, and former students. Yet, her legacy of kindness, wisdom, and integrity will remain an everlasting source of inspiration to all who had the privilege of knowing her.
May her noble soul rest in eternal peace.
