KEESARA ADAPADUCHU ADIRAJU KANAKADURGA PASSED AWAY

PRIYA KEESARA VASATULLARA!

With a heavy heart and pain, I place on record the sad and sudden demise of our beloved sister Smt. Adiraju Kanaka Durga . She passed away after very very brief illness, which we call Anayasa Maranam, in the early hours of 5th June 2009 at a private hospital in Vijaywada. She was brought and obsequies were performed the next day on 6th June, 2009 at Nandigama by her only son Chy.Bhaskar with Sharddha and Bhakati. Shri Adiraju Poornachandra Rao, with whom Smt. Durga spent nearly six decades of happy marriage took every care to save her life, but to of no avail. We humbly pay respectful homage to her rememberance. May her soul rest in peace.

Late Kanaka Durga , is the first daughter to Smt Keesara Saraswathi Prasunamba and Shri K V R Narasima Rao. It is said she is born with a colour of Jasmin and was invisible when she was kept in white cloths. Our beloved uncle Shri Raparla Janaradhana Rao, then practising serious Yoga in Himalayas, came and saw the radiance of her face and asked the parents to give her to him, for bringing up, as, he is afraid, the parents, i.e., Smt.Prasunamba and Shri Narasimha Rao, might spoil her facial radiance. Such was the radiance of her body when she came to this holy earth.

Late Kanaka Durga was educated to the level of Secondary School and was married to Shri Poornachandra Rao at an early age of 13. She was very soft in style and humourous in talk, and an elder when advising people who seek her advise. All the members of the family loved her and liked her to their heart. She was at Neyveli when her husband was working as Engineer with Neyveli Lignite Corporation. She went on pilgrimage with her husband, to the far places in South on a Scooter driven by her husband. They came to Nandikotkur from Srisailam when the moderator was working with SBI Nandikotkur.

She was receiving all the guests with equal magnanimity irrespective of their social status. Since she was like that, many farmers from Nandalur and nearby places, visited their house at Nandigama when they heard the news of her demise. The congregation was more than 500 and she started her journey to the Almighty's abode with royal touch, with humble presence of near and dear. May her soul rest in peace.

We present two recent videos where she was seen very active in one of our family functions.

These are the blessings received from Shri Raparla Gopal Rao, my maternal uncle, in the form of a poem written on the occasion of my Shastipoorthi Celebrations. Since it is filed away in my folders, I am posting this late., though the blessings received in time.
These are really worth keeping safely in Keesaravamsam. Enjoy the poetic style of my Mama.
