Sairam Sir,
Still very difficult to digest the fact that you are retiring (you look so young, as always) and I am sure so many of my brothers will also feel the same. Sir, usually in outside world, people when they hear the word Warden, they get scared and have negative feelings. Whereas, you have changed the very perception of the word Warden. You are so lovely, active, charming, dedicated, friendly…. just to name a few adjectives for you, which come across my mind, when I think of you.
Sir, I have studied only 2 years in Parthi (2003-2005) and yet I am so attached with all of our teachers. In my career span till now, I have not had this kind of reverence, love and respect to teachers outside our university. This is the specialty of our institute, which I do not think any other university in the world has. The relation between students, teachers and with our beloved swami is so unique. I feel very lucky and blessed to have you as my guru.
Sir, when you are recently hospitalized, we all prayed very hard every day and pestered swami so much. The moment we heard your audio message in whatsapp, tears rolled down my eyes with happiness and I heard the message at least 15-20 times. Sir, just waiting for this pandemic to get over soon and want to see your lovely smile Sir.

Having served Bhagawan’s Institution for close to 4 decades, Siva Sankara Sai Sir has shown to the world what it means to remain humble. In his association with batches of students as a teacher, warden, HoD, director, and many other roles he has demonstrated his LOVE for Swami and through that, his Love for HIS Students. Amazing enthusiasm in doing Swami’s work and unflinching faith in Swami – these are traits that he taught students by setting examples. Sir, we have learnt a lot from you all these years and hope to continue to learn much more in the years to come. My good wishes on this Sashtipoorthi. May you live long in HIS service and carry HIS message everywhere. Sairam!

Sir,
You are the best always. You have filled my life course book with examples of your humility, love, sincerity and fairness. In fact, the greatest blessing during my COVID ICU days was that opportunity I got to be near to you. You are an inspiration, sir.
Thanks for being what you are!

Sairam,
First I would like to thank Shiva Shankar Sai Sir (fondly known to me by “triple S sir” or “S cube Sir” for all his contributions and guidance to all the students of Swami. It has been a wonderful 5 years of journey with such a noble and gentle human being who never ceases to suprise us through his daily activities and his enthusiastic nature to motivate all the sleepy heads in the morning after suprabhatam to go for jogging. The whistle he blows for the start of the prayer and his soft punishments for coming late to the prayer will always be one of my best memories. I will to also cherish all my beautiful moments of being an office bearer where I had an opportunity to learn about how sir goes through any problems. Sir has taught me a lot through his steadfast nature to not miss the suprabhatam no matter how late the work has absorbed him the previous day. I would like to take this opportunity to thank sir a lot for all his service to make sure we lead a peaceful life in hostel. May this end be a new beginning to the most beautiful and happiest years ahead sir. Sairam.

I am grateful to Swami for granting me the privilege to study in His Institute, moreover to be tutored by His chosen instruments/great teachers/wonderful human beings. During my short period in the institute, I have never seen a professor as dedicated and committed to the welfare of the students as Prof. Siva Sankara Sai Sir. There were many times that left me wonderstruck to the amount of work he undertook. I never had any personal experience with Swami as most of my batchmates would have, but I was able to experience Swami through teachers like Siva Sankara Sai Sir. On this occasion of his superannuation, I would like to thank him for the life lessons he imparted to me.
Ashutosh Verma (Tonk),

I wish Siva Sankar Sai Sir Life full of Blessings Divine! Have lived life with Siva Sankar Sai Sir in 80s and since then he’s been a guiding and motivating force!

I wish him continued blessed and fantastic life filled with Sai Ever! Sairam and Best Wishes.

A loving Sairam sir,
I being a lateral entry student, I haven’t met and interacted with you physically. But, even in this online mode, I feel connected to you whole heartedly. I would mention that you are the “power house of the physics department”. During this one year, I have been seeing you in many many activities, the classes, the seminars, the projects you are working on and most importantly the vadam and yoga classes. We wish you a very healthy and prosperous life at the divine lotus feet. We thank you so much for all your seva bhavna that has helped us. Hope to see you soon sir and listen to all your experiences and teachings as we used to discuss after the moral class every Thursday.

We together had a unique bond. We joined together in PUC in 1976, same room our good old dormitory, how at night we studied together, learned vedam together. I remember your first telugu speech in front of Bhagawan about namasmarana, You being selected for the first batch of Swami’s university to do MSc, your all round gold medal, all these are so fresh in my memory. You lived and inspired others to live Swami’s way of life. Praying to Bhagawan to give you long healthy happy prosperous divine life with full of contentment.

Dear Sir,
You have been one of the most endearing personalities in Prasanthi Nilayam. You have always been there for all of us as a guardian, as a brother, as a warden and as a teacher. Sir, will always remember your ever smiling and ever encouraging presence in hostel, despite all the pressures of being in charge of such a huge hostel. Even in your punishments you were kind. You exemplify Swami’s love and teaching. My kind regards and warm wishes for this new chapter in your life.

With his charismatic demeanor, sir has been one of the greatest instruments of Swami whom generations of students look up to. Your infectious smile and ever-enthusiastic character will never cease to motivate us. Having dedicated his whole life to Swami’s mission, you will remain an inspiration to all of us. Working selflessly for the sake of students, the hostel and the Institute, your life has been really a remarkable one. I’m sure that Swami will be most pleased with you sir and will continue to shower his blessings on you, so that you will continue to be our guiding light even after the end of this chapter.
