Condolences

Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives - A Sachs

Vinoy Vishnu Vadakkepat, Indus International School, Bangalore

I had one of the best moments with Muthassan (grand dad) in July 2008, when I could play chess with him often. It was so much of fun, and they were the wonderful moments in my life. When I leave this world, I wish to take that chess board with me.

I won't even try to put words of condolence for, though from a different level, I feel that Bhaskarettan's demise will not easily be borne by many of his erstwhile associates.

I happened to meet him in Vayilliamkunnu Temple on that day just a few moments before he left with Hari and I happened to be near him while he was ceremoniously "feeding" the child in Jayaprasad's lap. He was as sprightly as ever and I could not believe my ears when the news came about his sudden departure from this world.

Prof. Kim Jong-Hwan, President FIRA, KAIST, Korea

I am so sorry to hear such a sad news and express my condolences to your father's passing away.

Dr. Sunil Narayan, Prof. and Head, Jipmer, Pondichery

Bhaskara Uncle was a man of great charm, a source of vast knowledge, a learned sanskrit scholar and, an ardent fan and researcher of atronomy. He was also a humanist par excellence and a great social activist and worker. He had a lot of zest for life and always exuded a lot of enthusiasm and jubilation everywhere he went.

He was a great friend of our family and used to visit our family (Kandayathodi) in everyone of our major functions and, shared our joys and sorrows with us. Mangalamkunnu and the Gupta community have lost a great, dynamic exuberant son. He will always live in our fresh memories with his beaming face and sense of humour and compassion. May his soul rest in peace and happiness. I pray to the almighty to give Prahlad and his brothers and, uncle's brothers to give them the strength to withstand this bereavement.

Dr. Anil Kumar, National Institute of Technology Calicut

I could think of his presence more as a silent and subtle one, yet of reassuring nature.

Vaipur Balasubramanyan, Qatar

Our Bhaskarettan ... I don't know what to write now. Personally, it is a loss for me too. He was very passionate on me and kept a friendly approach irrespective of age, all the times. We had many open discussions on variety of subjects. He was really an all rounder of all topics. A great loss not only to the family but to the entire society too.

Col. Sankaranarayanan, Bangalore

I fondly remember my association with him in our younger days when he helped me to find a suitable wife.

Ajith Ramakrishnan (Vallore)

Beloved Bhaskarettan was really a great person to all of us. I still have a two line poem with me which he had given as a wish during my marriage in 2007.

Dr. Chamakuzhi subramanian, CEO BAeHAL, Bangalore

Bhaskarettan was so active that it will be difficult to copy some of his traits by any one.

As I used to see him invariably during every weekend at Olavakode when I cut across the railway station from Thanavu to board bus at Olavakode junction to Katampazhipuram. More over, he used to find time to talk to me at every occasion that I had met him. I cherish those memories with a mixed feeling that he is not with us today. It will be beyond words to express.

Suresh (s/o M.P. Subrahmanian), Chennai

Though I haven't seen him, I have heard a lot about him. He was close to my father.

Mohammed Niyas, USA

He left without disturbing any one ... with a smile ...

Prahlad, indeed you were lucky to have someone like him.

Kochu Narayanan, Trivandrum

The rich experience my wife and me had at Katampazhipuram, when we met and had an interaction with him. I know that he was more than a father to you.

Jisha Gupta, Madras

His sociable nature and cultural refinement would keep him alive in the hearts of his admirers.

Alex Thomas, Singapore

I pray that you and your family are comforted with the knowledge that your father did the best he could and went as a fulfilled man. That, it was as painless for him as could be ... indicative of God's presence. Be strong, for we all await our turn to go on to a future of which we know little ... and, only read and surmise about.

I strongly believe that the journey on earth is only a proving ground for us to qualify for something more eternal, more lasting than a 70 something-year life. If so, your father was truly blessed.

Murali Guptan, Bangalore

He lived and left this world with highness.

Harikrishnan R, Kothamangalam (Mahindra & Mahindra, Nasik)

I really was wanting to meet him some day, as it was he who wrote my horoscope.

Manoj Subramanian, Bangalore

I take pride in the day when he wished me that I always stand tall ... in all my activities after the Grama Samskrithy meeting in 2007, when I went to wish him goodbye to return to Bangalore. That moment is frozen in time for me now.

Ravindran Puliyath, Qatar

My father always says about your father's extreme knowledge about Astrology and related subjects. Its great lose to our community also.

Sarith Subramanian, Madras

I will not forget to say that on the blessedly few occasions I've met him, he was very fatherly and extremely kind.

Dr. Sreesobh Viswanathan, Cochin

I could recall, I saw him and communicated through internet (Skype) when I was with Prahlad ettan in Singapore the previous week. He knew me as well as all my possible relatives.

Dr. Sreekanth K. V. and Dr. Priti, USA

We remember having last met uncle at Vayillamkunnu temple shortly after our marriage and he blessed us with great warmth and affection. He will always be cherished in all our hearts.

Sharavanan Guptan, Madras

I really can't believe because I met him the previous Saturday in Vayilankunnu Kavu (temple) during the anaootu (feeding of the elephants), but couldn't have a word with him due to the crowd. Didn't realize at that time that he will pass away so soon. I now regret for not having a word with him that day.

Unnikrishnan Subrahamanian, Dubai

I know him since my childhood when he used to visit Karimba (to his sister's house). He was a fatherly figure to all of us.

Naveen Kuppuswamy, KAIST Korea / Madras

Very rarely we see such people, who have lived their life to the fullest until their last moment. That he left with a smile after an active day goes to only show the contentment and satisfaction.

Vipindas Vasu Mannatt, Palghat

I met Bhaskarji, when he came to palakkad for a marriage in Aswathi Mandapam. I thought he won't recognize me, (but) he did.
