  3. The most shocking news of recent times to me is the sudden demise of Sri.R.N.V ji. It makes me more sick as I am away from the country now.I am struggling to find words to express my grief and loss.I personally availed his help, guidance and blessings right from the starting of the Charitable Trust Sevabharathi Tamilnadu.It is an irrepairable loss to all swayamsevaks like me.

    He is in the list whom the God loves most and R.N.V.ji attained His Lotus feet, I am sure .All SevaBharathi karyakathas joining with me in mourning his demise.

    We pray The Almighty to give to his family the strengh to withstand this great loss.

  6. I know Shri.Venkatraman closely. He was one of the senior karyakartha of Mambalam Prabhat shaka when I joined in 1965. He was a staunch swayamsevak. He was so simple & easy to move with. Guided new swayamsevak's like me. May his soul attain peace. My heartfelt condolences to his family.
