Sanjoy Paul Padath said...

His Grace was a true shepherd, a spiritual fortress, a gem of a person. He was compassionate, loving and caring towards his flock as well as all humanity in general. He was in return loved and admired by all who knew him. Let us take comfort in the fact that the physical pain that he endured while he was with us in this world has now come to an end and that he will be finding solace in the laps of our fore-fathers Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. Even though he suffered through a lot of physical pain, he was always completely committed to his true calling. I have absolutely no doubt that eternal bliss and glory awaits him during the Judgement Day! His passing away is an immeasurable loss for our Church, especially Delhi diocese. Let us pray for our beloved departed father and remember him in our prayers without fail. We can remain rest assured that he will be continuously praying for us.

With prayers,
Sanjoy Paul, Iowa

On hearing the demise, special,prayers were offered in the Mar Gregorios Orthodox Church, Dimapur and Kerala Christian Congregation at Kohima in Nagaland after the Holy Qurbana today. We offer our hearfelt condolences.
Thirumeni, as far as I know, had extraordinary spiritual abilities and Late Thirumeni will be ever remembered for his love for humanity. He was torchbearer of love and kindness. We have lost a saintly person in Thirumeni. He was a true 'Sanyasi' of recent times and I believe Thirumeni was a true model for others in the spiritual echelon.

With sorrowful prayers,

Beloved Thirumeni go in peace… and rest peacefully in the heavenly abode. Kindly pray for us.
My family have many things to cherish from HG’s love and care he had shown while HG was our English professor and the warden at the St. Stephen College men's hostel in the 80s.
It was also a privilege for me to be hand picked to assist HG in the alter in my younger age - he picked me while others looked at me with envy. He would start the alter preparation and sound system setup/testing from the previous night of day of Holy Qurbana. HG would wake me up around 5:15am to be with at the chapel from the start. HG’s melodious tunes are still resonating in my ears, especially how he sang during Thursday evening Sleema Namaskarm as we stand next to him at the back row at the chapel. I was so happy to hear the recorded version of the same recently. The chapel was house full when he conducted the HQ.
HG was a protégé of L/L HG Mar Thoma Dionysious of Pathanapuram and naturally became a good associate of my father (Very Rev. Koshy V. Poovathur) and of my grand-mother with lots of freedom but with respect, in both ways. HG’s mother was related to HH Geevarghese II of Kallaserry.
HG entrusted me with many of his business matters and gave me the confidence in myself to get things accomplished in astonishing manner. I was only 17yrs but he trusted in me and occasionally he had shared his grievances. Many times I could only be a good listener because things were beyond my level then and in other times I was able to reassure him with my families unequivocal support. I am not going to elaborate on this… He loved me and he had also scolded me and punished me when I hurt his feelings. HG played a vital role in my personality development to help me becoming a better person.
Beloved Thirumeni, we are so relieved to see you are no longer suffering in the physical body.

Njagalude priyapetta shretta acharya samadhanathale povvuka ….

Lord, be compassionate towards those who served Thy mysteries and kept clean of Thy holy place.

His Grace have been a Teacher, Leader, Mentor and True Shepherd of the flock of Christ over two decades. His Grace was an icon, a Legend of the Christian faith.He was liturgy himself. I remember His Grace so incredibly, fondly. I used to listen to the soothing sound of his Grace's voice sometimes barely hearing the words but soaking up the meaning through his tone. May God grant mercy and keep H.G where he keeps his beloved ones. Adv. Varghese Mammen Chempumalil, Philadelphia

IT IS GOOD TO SEE that the word dead body was removed and put mortal remaining.

I was wondered over the word Dead body used for HH.

instead of mortal the Holy relecs would be ideal, since we all kiss his hand. He was titled HH decorated with Mor in the name

A true shepherd of the Malankara Orthodox Church over two decades. His Grace was an icon, a legend of the Christian faith. He was liturgy himself. I remember His Grace when he came to London more than a decade ago and conducted Holy Week services. Through the melodious voice of Thirumeni we have been blessed to enjoy the sweetness and beauty of our worship. It was incredible, that his Grace took us through the whole Good Friday service with out skipping any stanza and singing all through with the congregation and that too ‘standing’ with all his ailments. I still listen to his Grace's voice recording during Holy Week and bring back fond memories of His Grace. His Grace will be ever remembered for his humility and humbleness and love for humanity and patience and kindness. We have lost a saintly person in Thirumeni.
Let us pray for our beloved departed shepherd and remember him in our prayers without fail. We can remain rests assured that he will be continuously praying for us. May God Almighty grant mercy .
