" om purnamadah purnamidam purnaat purnamudachyate purnasya purnamaadaaya

purnamevaa vashishyate " In the demise of Ma Seshadriji, Sangh has lost a

veteran leader, exceptional organiser and a brilliant thinker. His loss will be

greatly felt for a long time. Whatever he posessed he had surrendered to Bharat

Mata and was a tireless campaigner for the cause of Dharma. Service to Bharat

Mata was the only mission in life. Prayers for his Soul to rest in Peace.Posted

It was since 1980 , when i first saw ma Sheshadrijee in third year OTC, was very

impressed because of his clarity in thoughts and simple life style. Later in

1993 he visited Mauritius, South Africa and Kenya, we travelled togather. He

was an ideal swayamsevak, was very open and clear guiding the karyakartas, if

there was a need he was quite staright forward and unbiased in expressing his

opinions. He had definitely changed many lives and inspired thousands, I was

lucky to be one of them. It was a great previlege for me to be associated with

him and got guidance from him several times in the crisis. We all are going to

miss him and we all pray to the God to offer eternal peace to the departed

soul, and thousands of us who are inspired by him will work for the objective

for which he lived all through his life Param Vaibhawam netum Ethath Swa

Rashtram.Posted by: yashwant pathak

May His soul rest in peace and his margadarshan will guide many more in to the

path of Nation building. I pray The almighty to give many more children like

him to Bharatvarsha. I had a rare oppertunity of being a vyavastha pramukh when

he visited our small place in suryapet, nalgonda, a.p. His kind and warmth and

power of inspring people are unforgettable in my life. My heartfelt pranams to

Sheshadriji.Posted by: Kamalakar Gifu-Japan 15th Aug 2005

My respect to this great thinker. Let his ideas, passion, dharma engulf the

nation, which will be truest respect for him. I have heard his name so many

times, read many of his books, and planned to meet his in person to show my

respect. Alas, I can't fulfil that anymore. His Books, writings are for

everybody to understand the greatness of this departed soul.Posted by: Bhaskar
