Prof. Anil Kumar was a rare phenomenon. He was loved by the Lord and was also accessible to everyone. Knowing him we felt we had a connection with Swami. It was a unique way of receiving Swami’s Love through him. He conveyed the essence of Swami’s message by his words, actions and expressions.

My father loved his talks on Radiosai. Listening to Prof. Anil Kumar intensified his love for Swami. Prof. Anil Kumar had this natural gift of connecting with Sai devotees and instilling in them love for Swami. Many members in my family have been inspired by his talks and developed devotion to Swami.

During college days, Prof. Anil Kumar conducted the Awareness class. He would make Overhead-Projector slides of Swami’s Telugu poems and present them with unlimited exuberance. I would witness the same enthusiasm when he shared the stage with Swami translating the discourse. The enthusiasm was contagious.

I wonder if there is a greater flute in Lord Sai Krishna’s hand than Prof. Anil Kumar. He resonated with the sound of Sai Krishna, bereft of any ego, an epitome of simplicity.

Dear Sir, we are eternally grateful to all the Love you showered on us. We pray we see you very soon with the message of Swami.
