The Guru Pooja held on 27th July 2025 in Bengaluru was a moment of deep reverence and love. It was a gathering of hearts that beat in gratitude. It was a homecoming for many, especially for the students of Prof. Dr. N Sridhar Shetty, who have now become respected doctors and professors across the world. They returned with folded hands and full hearts, to offer their respects to the one who shaped their paths.
The invitation came from Dr. Ananda Krishana, a deeply respected alumnus of Prof. Shetty. He opened the doors of his home and the warmth of his heart to host this sacred gathering. In that space filled with prayers and memories, the presence of the Guru brought blessings that touched everyone deeply.
Prof. Dr. N Sridhar Shetty stood as a teacher, and as a guiding light in the life of many. His style of teaching and learning echoed the ancient spirit of learning. His heart is filled with love for each of his students.
The event was held in the simplicity of a home. It was grand beyond measure because of the purity of emotions it carried. The gathering saw many post-graduate students of Prof. Sridhar Shetty coming together.
Karnataka Prosthodontists also joined from different corners of the state. Their presence was out of devotion. They came to meet their teacher, and to touch his feet and thank him for every lesson, every encouragement, and every push forward. Dr. Ananda stood out as a reflection of the Guru’s wisdom. In his humble smile and respectful silence, one could see the essence of true discipleship.
His home became a temple that day. A place where the spirit of knowledge bowed down to the spirit of gratitude. Prof. Sridhar Shetty expressed his joy that carried the weight of a lifetime. My blessings to dear Ananda Krishana and my dear Prosthodontists. My blessings and best wishes to all of you.”
For many, this moment was a reminder of the roots that made them who they are. It was a reminder of the teacher who believed in them when they doubted themselves. It was a day when time stood still and allowed gratitude to flow.
The gathering reminded everyone how important it is to stop for a moment. It showed the beauty of remembering where we came from. People looked back with love and respect. They bowed down to their teacher with full hearts. They said thank you through quiet actions. There were no long speeches. Just simple gestures. A gentle look. A tear in the eye. A silent prayer.
Prof. Dr. N Sridhar Shetty is a true inspiration and a unique teacher. His teachings go beyond books. They live in the values, lives, and service of his students. And as long as they continue to heal, teach, and serve with compassion, the light of his teaching will continue to shine.
This Guru Pooja was a sacred connection. A heartfelt offering. And a timeless tribute to a life devoted to the growth of others.
