SIBAKRUPA WILL LIVE IN OUR HEARTS FOR EVER

Prasant Patnaik

Deeply shocjed and saddened as an ex-Ravenshawavian Sibakrupoa Bose Chief Mentor and Life Coach at Centurion University of Technology and Management/ Meditative Yoga Teacher left for his heavenly abode at his Cuttack Bangali Sahi home early today ( 25th May, 2022 ) I morning.

Sibakrupa who was ” Gopal” for his friends and ” Gopal Da” for his juniors was a person with a magnetic personality. Though he was the son of a famous freedom-fighter and respected Congress leader Raja Krushna Bose, he maintained a low profile throughout his student career as well as after.

After completing his studies in International Trade and Business Management. he had joined a multi-national organization in Dehi and was living in his house in Defence Colony. The doors of his house were always kept open for friends and needy students from Odisha.

Sibakrupa was very caring for his

riends and was leaving no stone unturned to entertain his friends. Though a purely vegetarian and tea tiller he loved to entertain his friends with the most palatable and healthy Odisha foods.

He was very handsome, smart, and active and was capable of driving his four-wheeler at a stretch from Jatni to Paralakhemundi without any break.

He was a voracious reader and loved all the books written by me. He had requested me to give him a book written by Sarvoidaya leader Rama Devi. Though I had promised to give him a copy, I failed as ie was not available in the market.

Only few days before his last journey he had promised to come down to my house and have a memorable get-tigether with all old friends like Aveda Nnada Mohanty, Premananda Ray, Prafulla Mishra, Helen Mishra, Bata Krushna Tripathy, Krushna Ojha, , Narayan Sahu,Balagopal Mishra, and others available. But before it could materialize Sibakrupa left for his heavenly abode leaving all of us in tears.

Now we are left with no alternative than to pray for his noble soul to rest in peace and give enough strength to his family members to bear this great loss with a heavy heart.
