May Bhagavan keep showering His Grace on the soul of V. Srinivasan sir! In the crucial first few years after Mahasamadhi (April 2011), V. Srinivasan sir seems to have played a key role as a senior trustee of SSSCT as well as the All India President of Sathya Sai orgn. to keep the Indian Sathya Sai orgn. ship stable as it faced enormous divisive challenges. I do clearly recall that in the first public media/press conference held by SSSCT in Prasanthi Nilayam a few months after Mahasamadhi, it was V. Srinivasan sir who was the leader taking on the very aggressive media questions then. I think that really showed great courage as well as determined leadership in the face of tremendous challenges. I think we Sathya Sai devotees owe V.Srinivasan sir a great debt of gratitude for that leadership he showed during this challenging period. It must also be remembered that in this post-Mahasamadhi period, V.Srinivasan sir remained faithful to the teachings and instructions of our beloved Lord, Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba regarding mediums and communicators, thereby serving as an example for others to follow.
Thank you so much V. Srinivasan sir for your commendable leadership of the Sathya Sai orgn. especially during the very challenging immediate post-Mahasamadhi years. Jai Sairam!

FORMER TRUSTEE SRI. V. SRINIVASAN MERGED WITH SWAMI JULY 25, 2017
The Sai fraternity woke up Tuesday morning with the sad news of Sri.Srinivasan merging with Swami on 25th July 2017 around 12:15 am. He first met Swami in Chennai in the year 1970 and ever since never looked back. A qualified engineer, Sri. Srinivasan is a well known industrialist and was the chairman of W.S. Industries. He served in Sri Sathya Sai Organisations in various capacities and chose to hand over the reigns of All India President of Sri Sathya Sai Organisation a year ago. Sri. Srinivasan who was also the Trustee of Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust, Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher learning and Sri Sathya Sai Medical Trust, and gave up his positions on health grounds.
On May 8th 2017 he lost his wife Smt. Vidya Srinivasan and in spite of his age related ailments, Sri Srinivasan was still active in participating in Sai Functions and he addressed the state level programme that was held on Saturday in ECR road Chennai and also in Sundaram ashram in Chennai on Sunday with the portable oxygen parameters which he had to carry after he developed some age related complications.
This shows the love he had for Swami and for Sai Organisation. Like a warrior who prefers to die in the battlefield, Sri. Srinivasan merged in Swami while still being active in sharing his words of wisdom with fellow Sai brothers and sisters . May Swami give all the strength to his family in particular, who lost the parents in such a short span. Thank you Srinivasanji for playing your role in the Sai mission and for guiding thousands of devotees at various capacities..
The last rites will be performed at 3 PM today in Chennai.
Jai Sairam
