Donate in the memory of Santhana Gopalan, Melbourne

Dear Friends,

It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of our dear friend Santhana Gopalan, fondly called Santhanam, aged just 47. For the past 15 years, he has been a kind and trusted friend to many of us in Sydney and Melbourne. He leaves behind his elderly mother, whom he was supporting, and his 13-year-old son.

As a small contribution (kinchit kaimkaryam), we are raising funds to support his family during this difficult time. The funds will be used to cover the funeral and last rites expenses, as well as to arrange travel for his family from India so they can be present to perform the final rites. The remaining amount will be transferred to his mother Bama Ranghanathan to provide her with much-needed support.

We kindly request you to contribute yathāshakthi (as per your capacity). Every gesture, big or small, will go a long way in helping Santhanam’s grieving family.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and prayers.
