VEDA Circle

All funds donated will be transferred to Pandit Sivaramakrishnan Mama’s family.

It is with profound sadness that we gather to remember and celebrate the life of our beloved Guru, Pandit Sivaramakrishnan Mama. His unwavering devotion, love, and wisdom enriched our Hindu temple and the larger California/Arizona community in ways that words can hardly express. Mama guided our spiritual journeys, nurtured our traditions, greatly enhanced our knowledge through his numerous Veda and Bhajan classes, and fostered a deep sense of belonging among us all. Our lives are profoundly better because of his tireless efforts, including the creation of VedaCircle (https://vedacircle.org/) and countless events he organized from Livermore to San Diego, Irvine to Phoenix, and beyond.

He devoted his entire life to teaching the Vedas, spreading his extensive knowledge to students of all ages, including children. His unwavering commitment to Vedic education and spiritual guidance made him a Guru for one and all. Through his tireless efforts, he not only preserved ancient wisdom but also inspired countless individuals to pursue a deeper understanding of their cultural and spiritual heritage. His contributions to the community were invaluable, leaving a lasting impact that will be felt for generations to come.

As we mourn the loss of Mama, we also strive to honor his legacy by supporting his family during this incredibly challenging time. His sons, Vignesh and Karthik, are still completing their studies, and our support can make a significant difference in their lives. To help them, we are launching a fundraiser with the goal of raising USD 500K.

Your generous contribution, no matter the amount, will provide invaluable support to Mama’s family and help fill the void he has left behind. Every donation is meaningful, and together we can honor Mama’s legacy and continue the work he so passionately began.
