In his condolence message the RSS Sarsanghachalak Shri Bhagwat described Trivikramaji as a tapasvi with pure chitta. I was in Nagpur for many years and therefore had the good fortune of meeting karyakartas from all over the country even before I became an Akhil Bharatiya Karyakarta. I had the opportunity to meet Sri Trivikramaji, initially during his visits to Nagpur for Tritiya Varsh Sangh Shiksha Varg and other meetings and later whenever I came to Bhagyanagar on pravas. In so many years of interactions, I have never seen him disturbed. His face was always serene. He spoke frankly about issues, softly but firmly. A person whose face is always serene, and speaks honestly, I believe that the chitta of such a person is always pure. In our tradition, this is called “Arjav”, Shri Bhagwat said. Dakshin Madhya Kshetra Sanghachalak Shri V. Nagaraju, Dakshin Madhya Kshetra Pracharak Shri A Shyam Kumar, Akhil Bharatiya Sah Gowseva Pramukh Shri Ajit Mahopatra, Telangana Prant Sanghachalak Shri P Venkateshwar Rao, Andhra Prant Sanghachalak Shri Sundararammurthy, Union Minister Shri Bandaru Dattatreya also paid tribute.
