Doddamma, my Doddamma, big mother, who had immense love and affection for children of her younger sister.
She lost her husband long ago and she didn't have her own children. Sister Varija's children Nalini, Vijaya and Sujatha were brought up affectionately by Doddamma. The children grew up under her care and guidance of Doddamma.
These very children were with her during her dying moments last Saturday 9th September 2017 at Udyavara, her house. The youngest sister, Sujatha, who looked after doddamma for last several years when she was bed-ridden, taking care with dedicated service, devotion, conscious effort, and love to the core.
Nalini, eldest of the sisters, reached Udyavara from Bengaluru just 30 minutes after doddamma took her last breath at 10.20pm. The binding and affection had pulled her to reach and they were all together with doddamma's soul and the body overnight, expressing feeling that they were with her after taking last breath.
Some years ago when we went with our children Ravi and Rishi, were small, went to their house she had boundless joy of seeing Nalini's children and expressed that too.
"The light of the house has gone" she said when my brother Padmanabha Somayaji passed away in 1997, as she well understood the personality and character of a person.
She lived her life well, loved by all.
Here is "SHRADDHANJALI" for the departed soul. OM SHANTHI....
