Bengaluru. “Lets follow the ideals of Na Krishnappa Ji in our life” said RSS Sarsanghchalak Dr. Mohan Bhagwat Ji in Bengaluru. RSS Sarsanghchalak urged the swayamsevaks emulate the life of Na Krishnappa and to take a vow to abide by at least one of the virtuous habits of Krishnappa to find a transformation themselves. Dr. Bhagwat was addressing the shraddhanjali sabha of recently expired veteran RSS Pracharak Na Krishnappa, held at Kuvempu Kalakshetra in Bengaluru.
Sarsanghchalak Ji said “I have spent a month with Krishnappa Ji in Karnataka during Vishwa Sangh shiksha Varg and about 20 days when he had visited Vidarbha, then I was the Prant Pracharak there”. “When looked his life from a distance, it appeared and remained same as approached nearer also. Values, commitment and disciplines in life remained the same. This is how great personalities live naturally with values they practice in their life. He streamlined his life for fulfilling his commitment for the social cause. Though he had to face ailments like cancer, he had a command on his body and mind, hence he successfully fought against the disease. His life was a role model to many, Krishnappa Ji always lived like ‘Aniketa sthiramati‘.
“In our concept, we never count about ‘Punya’ . The floral petals and leaves offered during pooja will be feel themselves greatful with a sense of sacrifce. Likewise Krishnappa Ji lived for whole life thinking and working for the social cause. (Punya kee gintee nahi hein. Pooja me arpana hone ke baad pushp dhanya ho jaata hein. Sadaa sarvadaa samaj ka vichar.)” added Mohan Bhagwat. “Krishnappaji was an epitome of simplicity. He appeared to be a personification of virtues. That is the sign of a true sage.” Swayamsevak’s life is highly committed (vrutast ). His life dedicated for a comprehensive development of the nation, thinking and working for the society. A Pracharak’s life is itself like worshiping whole society (‘Karmana Vacha Manasa’, buddhinaa-atmanaa, sada sarvada samaj ki pooja).”
“There are few people in the society who are like the moon but no lesions on them. They are also like a sun but without the burning heat (Taap-heen). We should take an oath (sankalp) that we will implement the ideals in our life that we learned from Krishnappa Ji. Lets follow the ideals from life and legacy of Na Krishnnappa Ji.”
“Krishnappaji – a Dhyeya jeevi” : Dattatreya Hosabale Ji
RSS Sahsarkaryavah Dattatreya Hosabale Ji said “Krishnappaji was a mrityumitra. He fought against cancer with a determined mind for nearly 3 decades. I know him since my school days, he was a role model to me since my school days. He was Mangaluru Vibhag pracharak, used to come to Shivamogga. He was a Dhyeyajeevi till his last minute. Dr SL Bhairappa referred Na Krishnappa Ji was Dhyeyajeevi Shankara in his novel Dharmashree. He was a gold medalist in Sanskrit. Krishnappa Ji was influenced by the legacy of pioneer RSS functionary in Karnataka, and was from Yadav Rao Joshi’s school of thought. Na Krishnappa Ji always supported creative works and new ventures of Sangh inspired organisations. He believed in the concept of Nimitta maatram bhava, we are just a reason for the social work. One of his memorable initiative was Kutumba Prabodhan, a concept of imbuing values in family system. Krishnappa Ji was a role model for social workers of all spectrum”.
Dr Shridhar, who treated Na Krishnappa since 2 decades, said “”Initially I saw a rogi (patient), but later i saw Yogi. The disease was just incidental. By his unparallel enthusiasm on life, he fought against the disease till the end”.
Speaking on the occasion Pejawar seer Vishwesha Theertha Swami Ji said, his life was a like sparshamani, was a great personality attracting everyone to him, to the organisation. He was a Rashtrabhakta. Life is not forBhoga (Luxury) but for Tyaga (scarifice) and Seva (service to humanity). Krishnappa Ji dedicated his everything for a social cause.
RSS Kshetreeya Sanghachalak V Nagaraj, RSS Karnataka Dakshin Prant Sanghachalak M Venkataram were present on the dias. Senior RSS functionaries Mangesh Bhende, Mukunda CR, Mai Cha Jayadev, Shyam Kumar, Dr Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat, TS Venkatesh, N Thippeswamy, Aravinda Rao Deshpande, Sudhir, Shankarananda, Dinesh Kamat of Sanskrit Bharati, Kajampady Subrahmanya Bhat of Parivar Prabodhan, Union Minister Harshavardhan, swayamsevaks, well wishers attended the Shraddhanjali ceremony.
