1959-Death of our beloved father, at Holalkere.
I was studying in High school. In 1960, I completed my SSLC. Appa, was going every year to some pilgrimage centers, like Udupi, and Ghati Subrahmanya. Similarly after coming from tour, he was bit tired. He suffered a stroke. Nagaraj, Chandranna, mother, and I were in the house. we called on our family doctor, Shankara shetty. He said about the paralysis attack, and administered some medicines, and gave injection. By evening, Appa’s entire body started becoming cold. His tongue was badly affected; not able to speak clearly. We were not able to follow, his speech, including mother. After suffering for a week, he expired in the midnight. Amma was with him. This took place in the outside room, at Holalkere. We were sleeping in the nadumane.
Rangarao’s family background:
Appa was a local Auditor, shanubhogue of Chiranahalli, Kudinirkatte, and kasba village. Astrologer, had some lands, and own house, lands sold, and kept the money in post office. We did not have bank for long time. Had savings from his Bombay job austerity was rigorously practiced. Very very simple life style. Amma was a great lady and adjustable to that kind of life. She never aspired for any thing. She knew her husband’s income, and the way of life.
Appa’s father’s name was Venkatanaryanappa, who was also a shanubhogue, and used to Collect Taxes, in and around the villages near, Holalkere. That is why Sunkadavaru, name is attached with our family.
Brishtappa, was the name of his father, and his grand father’s name was, Nilappa. The names of others, are not known. Ramannaiah was one of the senior persons, in the linage, (lived around AD, 1550) who etched, the Bhagawatha, on the Palm leaves, which was printed and published on Paper, by, HRC, and released last year, which we are all aware ! Perhaps, we might get more feed back from the ‘Vamshavruksha,’ copy published by HRC on the net.
Venkatanaryanappa, had 3 Sons, and 2 daughters..1 .H. V. Ramaswamy 2. H. V. Rangarao 3. H. V. Janakamma 4 . H. V. Kashamma 5. H. V.Subbarao1 .H. V. Ramaswamy : has, Sanjivarao,
Sheshagiri Rao, Rangamma, Ratnamma, Vishvanatha rao (Popularly known as Vishvanna), was a diploma holder in civil engineering. He was in Govt. Service, and retired. His sons and daughters are in very good positions.Sheshagiri rao’s son is Chandi, whom you met at Houston. Ranganth, you met in bengaluru, two daughters. Married and well settled. All are well settled with good qualifications and positions.
Janakamma, popularly known as Janamma, had, one daughter, named Ratnamma. Her daughter, is Lalithamma, Vijaya, wife of Ananthamava,’ is the daughter of Lalithamma. Janamma, lost her husband, in her youth, and joined the Ashram of Shankaralinga bhagawan. Shankaralinga bhagawa, belong to our family, of Sunkadavar. ( His Purvashrama name was, Rangappa) He was instrumental to advise Malladihalli Raghavendra swamiji, to settle at Malladihalli and help the poor. This is a very big story.
H. V. Subba rao, my Chikkappa :
had two sons, Ramachandra rao, Krishna murthy and Daughters, Subbamma, Lalithamma, Sharadamma, Nagamma. Subba rao, was a very intelligent person, working in the Municipal Office, at Holalkere, but unfortunately, he became mentally sick, and could not get proper medical aid, and spent his entire life in isolation, sitting in a dark room of his house, in Holalkere.
So the family responsibilities were carried out entirely by, my Chikkamma, Paddajji. Their son, Ramachandra rao, married the daughter of ***Rangamma, and other daughter, married by his brother, Krishna murthy.You know, Shripad is his first son, of HSR, Prasada, is his second son, who is working at Shravana belugola, as a typist,. Two daughters. Kittanna has son, Raghavendra, working in ‘kolar parike, a news paper. Three daughters are married and settled. Simple folks. Vijaya is the daughter of Nagamma. You have talked to her, at Bangalore.From our father’s side, Shankaralinga bhagawan, Janakamma, were, sages.The mutts are established at Malenahalli, Kumarana halli, and Nulenur, all are near Holalkere. Janamma was looking after the matt at Kumarana hallilm until her death. Later, her son in law, Nadig, was looking after, Father of Vijaya.

I was studying in High school. In 1960, I completed my SSLC. Appa, was going every year to some pilgrimage centers, like Udupi, and Ghati Subrahmanya. Similarly after coming from tour, he was bit tired. He suffered a stroke. Nagaraj, Chandranna, mother, and I were in the house. we called on our family doctor, Shankara shetty. He said about the paralysis attack, and administered some medicines, and gave injection. By evening, Appa’s entire body started becoming cold. His tongue was badly affected; not able to speak clearly. We were not able to follow, his speech, including mother. After suffering for a week, he expired in the midnight. Amma was with him. This took place in the outside room, at Holalkere. We were sleeping in the nadumane.
Rangarao’s family background:
Appa was a local Auditor, shanubhogue of Chiranahalli, Kudinirkatte, and kasba village. Astrologer, had some lands, and own house, lands sold, and kept the money in post office. We did not have bank for long time. Had savings from his Bombay job austerity was rigorously practiced. Very very simple life style. Amma was a great lady and adjustable to that kind of life. She never aspired for any thing. She knew her husband’s income, and the way of life.
Appa’s father’s name was Venkatanaryanappa, who was also a shanubhogue, and used to Collect Taxes, in and around the villages near, Holalkere. That is why Sunkadavaru, name is attached with our family.
Brishtappa, was the name of his father, and his grand father’s name was, Nilappa. The names of others, are not known. Ramannaiah was one of the senior persons, in the linage, (lived around AD, 1550) who etched, the Bhagawatha, on the Palm leaves, which was printed and published on Paper, by, HRC, and released last year, which we are all aware ! Perhaps, we might get more feed back from the ‘Vamshavruksha,’ copy published by HRC on the net.
Venkatanaryanappa, had 3 Sons, and 2 daughters..1 .H. V. Ramaswamy 2. H. V. Rangarao 3. H. V. Janakamma 4 . H. V. Kashamma 5. H. V.Subbarao1 .H. V. Ramaswamy : has, Sanjivarao,
Sheshagiri Rao, Rangamma, Ratnamma, Vishvanatha rao (Popularly known as Vishvanna), was a diploma holder in civil engineering. He was in Govt. Service, and retired. His sons and daughters are in very good positions.Sheshagiri rao’s son is Chandi, whom you met at Houston. Ranganth, you met in bengaluru, two daughters. Married and well settled. All are well settled with good qualifications and positions.
Janakamma, popularly known as Janamma, had, one daughter, named Ratnamma. Her daughter, is Lalithamma, Vijaya, wife of Ananthamava,’ is the daughter of Lalithamma. Janamma, lost her husband, in her youth, and joined the Ashram of Shankaralinga bhagawan. Shankaralinga bhagawa, belong to our family, of Sunkadavar. ( His Purvashrama name was, Rangappa) He was instrumental to advise Malladihalli Raghavendra swamiji, to settle at Malladihalli and help the poor. This is a very big story.
H. V. Subba rao, my Chikkappa :
had two sons, Ramachandra rao, Krishna murthy and Daughters, Subbamma, Lalithamma, Sharadamma, Nagamma. Subba rao, was a very intelligent person, working in the Municipal Office, at Holalkere, but unfortunately, he became mentally sick, and could not get proper medical aid, and spent his entire life in isolation, sitting in a dark room of his house, in Holalkere.
So the family responsibilities were carried out entirely by, my Chikkamma, Paddajji. Their son, Ramachandra rao, married the daughter of ***Rangamma, and other daughter, married by his brother, Krishna murthy.You know, Shripad is his first son, of HSR, Prasada, is his second son, who is working at Shravana belugola, as a typist,. Two daughters. Kittanna has son, Raghavendra, working in ‘kolar parike, a news paper. Three daughters are married and settled. Simple folks. Vijaya is the daughter of Nagamma. You have talked to her, at Bangalore.From our father’s side, Shankaralinga bhagawan, Janakamma, were, sages.The mutts are established at Malenahalli, Kumarana halli, and Nulenur, all are near Holalkere. Janamma was looking after the matt at Kumarana hallilm until her death. Later, her son in law, Nadig, was looking after, Father of Vijaya.
