As a very close relative and having known him for decades of Dr.Jeremiah Sithanparanathan, I may state with pardonable pride that he was an eternal scholar with a high I.Q. Owing to his high qualifications, he was able to work worldwide. He was exceptionally good at English which helped to pen a world-class book based on Ramana Maharshi's teachings, He displayed in-depth knowledge of physics in his book. He was the embodiment of honesty, integrity, straightforwardness, simplicity, and genuineness. Although he was qualified in science, his knowledge of politics was outstanding. Nowadays it is hard to find people of his calibre. The planet has lost a multi-skilled and multi-talented gentleman. Our heartfelt condolences to the members of the family. May his soul Rest in Peace. -Thevy Singham
