K S Rao (20 Dec 1936 - 09 Feb 2022)

Shraddanjali Invite

 K. S. Rao (20 Dec 1936 - 09 Feb 2022)

K S Rao to some, Chandrudu to some and Kopparapu Sudarsana Rao to some bid farewell at 0521 am IST on 09-Feb-2022 in Mumbai. We, Suneetha {Jayakumar, Vaidhehi, Niranjan} and Sunil {Namita, Sumit} are arranging a pooja (with the help of a pujari) on 21-Feb-2022 (13th day) between 1000-1400 hrs in Mumbai.
 
Though he did not show any inclinations towards any rituals, we believe  this might be the apt thing to do. The idea of the ritual (for those who believe) is to sincerely pray for the soul of the departed to journey to Yamapuri. It is believed, that the journey of the soul starts on the 13 th day and actually reaches Yamapuri on the 17 th day.  The rituals are expected to support this journey of the soul.
 
He lived a life on his own terms and was a person who was may be a couple of decades ahead of his time. He was a person who did not believe in fineness of communication. He did influence a lot of people in several different ways, be it as a colleague or a friend (all age groups). He was well read and took the ups and downs in life in the stride. 
 
If you have any memories, do leave a comment.

ahead of his time అతని సమయానికి ముందు

Honest officer in real life నిజ జీవితంలో నిజాయితీగల అధికారి

his passion to read books పుస్తకాలు చదవడం అతని అభిరుచి புத்தகங்கள் படிப்பதில் அவரது ஆர்வம்

May be , echo of his vision is driving me ஒருவேளை, அவரது பார்வையின் எதிரொலி என்னை இயக்குகிறது, బహుశా, అతని దృష్టి యొక్క ప్రతిధ్వని నన్ను నడిపిస్తోంది

I love to thank him, for his support in my life என் வாழ்க்கையில் அவர் அளித்த ஆதரவிற்காக நான் அவருக்கு நன்றி சொல்ல விரும்புகிறேன் నా జీవితంలో అతని మద్దతు కోసం నేను అతనికి ధన్యవాదాలు చెప్పాలనుకుంటున్నాను

Thank you

MY OBSERVATION
A good human being with more of closeness and reservedness in maintaining relationships and sportive in playing cards,best for arguments if we stay at opponent side.Non believer of rituals and straight forward
MY EXPERIENCE
If you won’t register insults or flattery hez the best human being with passionate habits like reading and gifting books,magazines and ardent reader of The Hindu and Readers Digest,friendly experience with strangers.He was very good in expressing his feelings through letters and we land nowhere if we own him or detach him.He prefers lively death.May his soul RIP.om Shanthi ��

My best memories with uncle are during my childhood. Running around playing with him, meeting him and aunty and Anna and akka almost everyday near palm beach circle, sitting and enjoying the day. I have to say, saw uncle as a strict person, loved his chuckkle and humor, his practical approach which I truly like in today's world. Miss Suguna Aunty and Rao Garu uncle.. the way I know them both!! Wishing uncle attains the peace and heavenly abode he truly deserves!! From your little Kavitha Uncle!

Sadgati to an illustrious soul. Though I've never physically met Uncle, I've experienced him through Suneetha, her recounting of memories and talks about him, and all the lil gifts from him that she shared. A person whose ever smiling Daughter, son in law & grandchildren can be so beautiful loving and cheerful one understands the values with which they were nourished and the great souls their parents / grandparents were. Prayers for your onward journey dear Uncle. You will be missed.

I met Uncle few times, couple of times during his visits to IIT Bombay campus and once when I visited Bangalore. I have known Sunil for more than 3 decades. Lots of great humanitarian ideals and values that Sunil follows and practices comes from his father. He was one of the few people whom I met who had widespread knowledge and experience working with lots of different people and institutions. A non preaching idealist with a practical sense of what works and what not. Om Shanti. Palani
