We, the Aanmeega Arakattalai family are really saddened to learn the untimely demise of our beloved Mr. Thavakumaran, president of the Siththankerny Aathmeega Arakattalai. May His soul rest in permanent peace and may God gives the strength to his loved ones to cope up with this unbearable loss. We will really miss him, however we strongly believe that Almighty God and Mr. Thavakumaran's soul will guide us to continue our service to our needy students and others in poverty through our places of worshiping and schools in our hometowns by setting up more Arakattalais in the future. Aum Shanthi Shanthi. Sincerely, Gnana Chinniah (USA)
