Sharing sad loss of Nirlipta Tuli, a great teacher and loss to all π
ππ½ RIP NIRLIPTA TULI (1964-2026)
ππ½ Blessings Beloved Souls, it with grief I share news of the death of my husband Nirlipta Tuli, aged 62, on 18 July 2026.
ππ½ He died swiftly and peacefully at home in Stroud after many years of profound ill-health.
ππ½ A visionary artist, writer, yoga therapist and meditation teacher, Nirlipta was the co-founder of the Yoga Nidra Network, and illustrator of Yoni Shakti.
ππ½ Nirlipta inspired many hundreds of students worldwide, and brought restful sleep to many through his yoga nidrΔ audio recordings. He generously gave much of his work away freely, for the benefit of all.
ππ½ Nirlipta was father to two sons Tejomaya (27), and Abhisheka (25) and two daughters, Rajakumari Prayaag (18) and Anastasia Tuli (who died in 2002 at the age of 14).
ππ½ He is survived by his mother Swami Suryabindu Saraswati (88) and his widow UmΔ Dinsmore-Tuli (60).

ππ½ There are plans to invite contributions to a legacy fund to publish Nirliptaβs unfinished work; details of how to make gifts to this fund will be made avaialable over the coming weeks.
ππ½ For the moment please be patient as our family grieve his loss. ππ½Thank you for holding Nirlipta and our family in your prayers at this time. We love you.
