We were shocked to hear the sudden loss of Ananthan. I acquainted with him through his brother Siva (Thasan) who is a long term friend of mine. Ananthan has been a true gentleman in nature and a very sweet and nice person to deal with. I noticed and appreciated him in many occasions his non-judgemental nature, willingness to listen and accommodate others’ views & opinions when we had long conversations. Despite a series of long term illnesses, he has always shown “Anantham” as his name suggests, in his words, thoughts and deeds. Even though he has successfully crossed over several health hurdles during the past, he couldn’t complete his journey on the 15th January from the hospital back home. Instead of returning to family home, he has gone to permanent home. This time God has chosen and called Ananthan for service to him. Ananthan’s loss cannot be replaced but he will live on our hearts for ever. Our heartfelt condolences are for his family, relatives and friends. We join with them in their prayers and pray for his soul to rest in peace in at the feet of God. Aum Shanthi !!!.
