About
AMBA NAYAK
"The body has death, but not the soul. The body sleeps, the soul flies.Even as man discards old clothes for the new ones, so the dweller in the body, the soul, leaving aside the worn-out bodies, enters into new bodies. The soul migrates from body to body. Weapons cannot cleave it, nor fire consume it, nor water drench it, nor wind dry it." - Bhagvad Gita
Amba Nayak was the Matriarch of the Pangal Nayak Family. She was a very strong, compassionate, and charitable woman. She handled life with immaculate grace and amazing strength. As the Wife of a freedom fighter (My grandfather, Pangal Laxminarayan Nayak), she was a participant in India's Struggle for freedom. I still remember the stories she used to tell us of the British Invading the house to arrest those who supported the cause of freedom. The morals, wisdom and values she has passed down will live forever through her family.
She is Survived by
4 Children
Pangal GopalKrishna Nayak, Pangal Sitaram Nayak & His Wife Prema , Prafula Shenoy, and Aruna Shenoy & her Husband Narasimha
12 Grandchildren
Kishan Kini, Damodhar Kini, Meenakshi Rao, Gayathri Sali, Anita Menon. Aneil Nayak, Aarti Rouser, Sudha Kamath, Shubha Baliga, Maya Kamath & Priya Madampil
10 Great Grandchildren
Vikram Kini, Siddharth Kini, Ansh Sali, Vijay Menon, Kiran Menon, Neil Menon, Ashwin Kamath, Shyam Kamath, Anjali Baliga, Prashant Baliga,
The Pangal Nayak house in Katapady will never be the same without her.
On a side note. I have never ever in my life seen a woman instill such devotion in her children. Goplimam is like a incarnation of Shravan Kumar, from our epics. Sitarammam, my mom and Prafulakka all went to take of her in her time of need.
May god give them the strength to bear this loss.

My mother ( Shakuntala, elder daughter of Kitti - Ambamama's younger sister) is still not able to come to terms since for her Ambamama was nothing less than her own mother. That's the influence Ambamama had on her life.
May her soul rest in peace.

Mamama
Kishen Apr 22, 2009
Distance, absence or passing away cannot take away or diminish my feelings for her. The feelings go as far back in time as my conscious memory is available and can be recalled.She lives with me ---in my memory.
When I was a child and with my dad and mom in Delhi, the one thing that I used to long for was to holidays when mom would ( Naturally) go to Katapadi. Although at that time I loved the place, it was only when I grew up that I realised that it was not about the place but my grandparents,uncles and Aunts and at the very centre of it all would be my Mamama who would literally take me over from my mom for the rest of the stay, and being her first grandchild she made me feel very special.she would remember every little bit about my likes and dislikes, would be extra protective. There was Ajja too at that time who was equally doting.
Being under her care felt so good that I used to hate it every time I had to leave Katapadi. The "Suno Suno Re kishan Kala" that she used to mutter everytime still rings pleasantly in my ears everytime I think of her. That is how I got my nickname--Kishen- from her. So much was the doting by Mamama that my parents used to fear that I would be a spoilt child --Ajji Sakida Magu.
The more I try to describe my feelings the more I feel that I am at a loss for words and the more I feel the moistness in my eyes developing into a tear.
I prey to god to rest her soul in peace
