Dear Sri Krishnamurthy:
I am saddened to learn that the noble soul attained the lotus feet of
Sriman Narayana.
I had the bhagyam to be a student when he served as the headmaster of 
Sri Ramakrishna Mission high school in Thyagrayanagar, Chennai. When 
my wife and I paid pranams to him in January 2004, he blessed us and 
was talking clearly. He asked me questions about the east coast, 
mentioning cities like Philadelphia
I had the same awe and the respect that generates in anyone who see 
him in his traditional dress as adiyen had when seeing him at school 
during his rounds. The discipline he maintained himself and instilled 
in his students is remarkable.
Please permit me to echo your sentiments "May the Almighty keep him 
with HIM, at HIS FEET,  for ever in future." 

Gopaul Lakshmanan

Ramakrishna Mission very admirably until into their late nineties in 
various capacities.  These two towering giants of Acharyas were 
perhaps among the greatest of Aasthikas and Bhagwath Avatarams of the 
20th century.  Sri Anna authored many dozens of religious books on a 
variety of topics and Sri Srinivasachary focused on School education, 
particularly imparting knowledge of Vedas and Naalayiram.

all the Aasthikas.  His grateful students owe a great deal of debt to 
Lord Narayana  for having given the bhagyam to be under his tutelage 
during our school days.   May Rajagopalaswasmi and Shanbagavalli 
thayar bless  Sriman Vasudevacharar, the son the deceased, with the 
mental strength to bear this loss and continue to guide the students 
of the Ahobila Math Oriental High school with good health and peace 
of mind.
