I am from Brazil, South America. I did not have the honor of being close to Sree Krishnakumar Ji for long periods, only at each year, when I visited Coimbatore. But at each meeting, his greatness inspired me, his words, his Light, his sweetness pacified my Mind. In my humble Western ways of prayer, my beloved GuruJi will always be guiding me. Om Shantish.

He was no doubt a legend, not because built many institutions but he was the kindest human anyone would have ever met. Inspite of more than 200 participants being a part of tatwaprakashini every year, every student felt a personal connect with him. we laughed with him, ate with him , shared all our fears, apprehensions, dreams and aspirations with him. He was a patient listener as well as a frank advisor. its a great blessing to have know him in my lifetime because I don't think there can be anyone else like him. Inspite of him not being here in the physical form, all of us know it for a fact that he is amongst us even today as a guiding light when we progress towards being what he wanted us to be - efficient, kind and expert ayurvedic physicians. After his departure, we can only keeping him alive by following his principles and striving to fulfil his dreams.

Every time I see people posting your snap today my heart immediately skips a beat and makes me feel like I should text you and ask if you are okay ..this is something I just cannot come to terms with ..my most dearest Krishnakumar uncle .. Someone who knew who my best friends were and knew he was one among them.. Someone who called me his daughter and truly meant it even though he was more of my friend. The only person who made me see a lot of sunrises and a lot of 5.30 am phone call alarms even though he knew I would go back to sleep right after that.. Someone who was just a call away even for a quick pep talk ,To talk about anything under the sun from food to travel to the latest happenings in town.. Popcorn tasting Won’t be the same anymore.. Latest on what’s happening in the fashion and food field won’t be the same anymore.. Talking about your school and college days with dad and all those memories won’t the same anymore. Our temple visits and sharing Prasadam won’t be the same anymore. Just feels like I havnt felt this kind of loss in a long time and equally not wanting to deal with it because goodbyes have never been my thing..having said that , I know you were and will always be a fighter and I know you are In a happier place ..you have always though all of us to live our life to the fullest and be the dare devil you always are ..no one can replace you uncle dearest ..you will be terribly missed ..

Let me begin by telling that this writing is not even half of the many memories and experiences I have had with my dear Kunjamachan. Yes he was called Kunjamachan by me and my cousin Dhananjay, which translates to small grandpa as he was grandpa's younger brother. More than just my grandpa's brother, Kunjamachan has always been another grandfather to me and has treated me like his own granddaughter always. As we used to live with him, there are many memories and fun experiences I would love to share here. The one thing Kunjamachan always emphasized was waking up early everyday. So it was expected of me and my cousin to reach Kunjamachan's room at 5.a.m sharp with a notebook to learn the Latitha Shahastra Namah. Me being the lazy would be late at times and upon receiving a call from him would rush there. The punishment for coming late would be getting splashed by water during the Pooja through which he ensured we weren't sleeping. And we also had special Sunday breakfasts. Another policy of Kunjamachan was never to waste food. I cannot count the number of times I would have been scolded at for wasting food, but now I know to take only the quantity I need. Kunjamachan was a very strong and determined person. One experience that taught me that was, during one Sunday morning walk Kunjamachan had decided to walk for about one kilometre. Me being an insensitive kid did not think that he needed help walking but asked him if we could go for a few more kilometres. Kunjamachan inspite of his difficulty never denied and completed the distance with the same smile he always had on his face. I have spent a quality time with Kunjamachan in Navakkarai, where we had lot of animals. Oh how fond of animals Kunjamachan was and the animals were equally fond of him. We bought home a stray kitten from there and named her Fluffy. She would never leave Kunjamachan's side and would always be on lis lap and next to him. But the same kitten very rarely sat on anyone else's lap. Kunjamachan was also a person who travelled a lot. Me and my cousin were fortunate to travel with him to many places and meet so many great people Kunjamachan knew. It taught me the great respect people had for him and the how he maintained so many relationships awestruck me. He would always take you to the right direction. Once I said I wanted to do MBA he asked me what will you do doing it. And an other time when I said I want to write books he asked this question " how will you get ideas to write a book?" When I said I didn't know the answer he himself gave the answer by telling that you should read read and read and find ideas. In such ways Kunjamachan always made you to think twice before doing something and would always help you to go to the right path. Kunjamachan always inspired me to follow my passions, be it cooking, baking writing or painting, he always encouraged me. Even the last message I sent to him was my coffee painting and the next day when I visited him he said "Ammu I saw your painting it has come out well, there is s painting in the trust go and check it out." This is how he always wanted everyone to improve themselves. The last day I spent with Kunjamachan was 19/08/2020 and we had a Pizza party. Kunjamachan loved pizza that day was waiting for me to come and so we could order pizza. That Pizza party was the last meal I ate with my dear Kunjamachan. Dear Kunjamachan thank you for the so many beautiful memories you have given me. I feel I still haven't learnt a lot from you, but I know that you will continue to teach me from where you are. You will always be with me my dear Kunjamacha.

Many moons ago , possibly 17 years ago, my sister was suffering with metastatic cancer. I heard about the Arya Vaidya Pharmacy through someone, made a blind call, and Krishna Kumarji answered. I still remember how he heard me out patiently, said he would send some thing directly ( to Canada). There was never any talk of money. He sent two couriers without ever asking for anything. It's only on my return from Toronto, that I asked him for the bill. Only certain souls can do what he did. My pranaams to his soul????????
