Late Sri O V
Kammaran Nambiar, an accredited Astrologer of yore and a Sanskrit Scholar par excellence
and a distinguished Educationist of last century is my Guru who initiated me to
the world of letters.
The affection shown by him at a time when it was not forthcoming
from many other relatives, was immense and that is one big reason I wish to
publish his details here even though he left this world way back in 29th
September 1980 at the age of 82. OV as affectionately known, has eminent sons
and daughter and a large family. The village Azhikode got the first primary school
through his efforts in 1925 , nearly 90 years ago. His knowledge in astrology made him an authority
and is known throughout Kerala state. The
last day I met my Gurunathan was way back in 1978.
I had an occasion to meet his eldest son T K Damodaran Nambiar who visited our home in 2005 April a few
days after Vishu rejuvenating his fondness and respect to my father who died in
1999. He is also a teacher himself and scholar who won the best teacher award in his thirties. His younger brother Ramachandran Nambiar is an expert Ayurvedic Physician
whose dedication is well known. He too visited us to condole on hearing the
demise of my father. I am extremely thankful to both the persons who took so
much of effort to locate our home deep inside the village Kalliasseri as a matter of courtesy that can be found rarely now.
