Thej Gnanaseelan

As you may have heard, our beloved friend Thej Kumar Gnanaseelan passed away on Thursday, April 19th, at approximately 11:20PM after heroically battling cancer for 5 years. His passing was peaceful and painless, surrounded by his wife and friends. His life was a remarkable example of kindness and sweetness, poise and strength in times of adversity, and an ever-ready sense of humour.

We would like to honor Thej with two services -- to send him our love, to pray for a peaceful transition from this world, and to comfort his family and friends. There will be viewing followed by funeral on Wednesday, April 25 from 10.30 AM to 12:30 PM in the Garden Chapel at the Greenwood Mortuary. This funeral will consist of a short Vedic ceremony to bring peace to Thej's soul.

On Sunday April 29, there will be a memorial service followed by an informal reception at the Self Realization Fellowship San Diego Temple from 2 PM to 4 PM.

We hope that you will join us to remember and honor Thej. Also feel free to pass on this information to other people as appropriate.

Regards,Mohan Mysore (on behalf of Thej's wife Kalpana Sivaraman)
