Ajita was raised in the city of Coimbatore, India. His passion for science and reason went back to early childhood.
…
Ajita was an active participant in freethought throughout his years in America, forming ties with freethinkers who would become part of Nirmukta’s extended family. Employing his versatile talents, his contributions towards the cause of reason were manifold: as a prolific and edifying writer, as an insightful interviewer, as an adept podcast host, as an energetic community organizer both on-ground and online, and as a welcoming mentor to many freethinkers young and old taking their first steps towards embracing freethought.
In 2008, he started what would later become our organisation known as Nirmukta.

” And my new favourite: http://www.nirmukta.com. Nirmukta: freed, liberated, set free. This has taken long enough, please give me your pick(s) and lets decide and move on. As you suggested earlier we can buy more than one domain name. I am voting for http://www.nirmukta.com.”
Well voted.
And what a tragic loss.
