What was not heard so far came up from Raghavendra Rajakumar on Saturday morning at the inauguration of Dr Rajakumar memorial event at Kanteerava studio.

Clarifying a small mistake in Rajani Mama speech that his father demise was in 2006 (Rajani had told as 2008) the business empire of Dr Rajakumar leader Raghavendra Rajakumar said his father wanted to go to all the temples after coming from forest. Going to Mantralaya was his wish. We delayed because his health was not permitting. One day photograph of Sri Raghavendra Swamy was sent by Rajanikanth was a surprise to my father. Soon after Swamiji from Mantralaya came to our house and my father was very happy.

Raghanna recalling another incident of carrying his father in a chair to the hospital of Dr Ramana Rao had really upset Dr Raj. Dr Raj had told that from his pains others should not suffer. I would not allow you to carry me again and again. It will be only once at the end he informed. Raghanna was of course in emotions at that time. When the eyes were removed according to wish of my father we could not get him for rites. The Abhimani Devarugalu took away the body of our father. It was Jaggesh who controlled the whole chaos and helped us.

On the day of demise my father recited devotional songs and cajoled my mother. He was near the Pooja room when he took his last breath.

Ragaanna very circumspect in his approach thanked the previous chief ministers HD Kumaraswamy and BS Yediyurappa but as my father would always say ‘Nam Kadnoru’ for Siddaramayyaji, it is in his period the memorial is inaugurated is a good sign he informed.

Ragahanna in his speech thanking everyone for this honor for his father said he had seen so many festivals but on this day it is ‘Raj Habba’ he felt.

Dhanyavada is too small – Addadda namaskara is right way he showed his humbleness.
