Kailash Nath Dhir

Dearest Family, Our hearts are weeping with you for the passing of dearest Kailashji (respected elder brother to Sanjiv, Kamal, Gurinder and myself... as well as "Kailash Mani (mamaji) for Alex & Sean and most especially, treasured nephew for mom & dad (Krishna & Satya Pal Thapar). Though we know he is free of an aging body and his spirit is soaring in joy with Sri Bhagwan, the sadness for those left behind grieves the heart. He has been a steady presence in our lives for over 40 years and it is hard to imagine that he is no longer with us. His hearty laughter, tremendous hospitality (food was alway quickly offered and shared for anyone visiting the Dhir home!), generous spirit and an unbridled passion to share the love of God with everyone... all characteristics of a godly man will be missed. He loved his family (both birth and spiritual) and God. Our heartfelt condolences to dear Alka Bhabhi, Seema, Nidhi, Pooja, Arti and all of the extended family. May God grant all of you strength & courage during this difficult time. We share our grief in the passing of a great soul and wish him much joy and peace in his adventures ahead with the Divine. Krishna, Sanjiv and Kamal Thapar & Gurinder, Suman, Alex and Sean Brar

Nidhi & Family, our deepest condolences during this time, our thoughts and best wishes to you.

Dear Alka Ji, Seema, Nidhi, Pooja and Aarti Our heartfelt condolences to you all for your loss of a most loving husband and a loving and devoted father! It was Seema who took my Math Course at Western during 1986-87, the year we moved to London with small children, who mentioned and invited us to come to the weekly Thursday Bhajans at their place. It was an appointment with destiny and the Divine Grace of Swami that we were all Blessed to have known Kailash Ji(Dhir Uncle) for all these years! To all of us, he was not only the Founding President of our Sai Centre here, but was an icon for representation all that was great and good in our Hindu religion, culture,tradition and values. He was a principled, faithful man and an ardent devotee of Sathya Sai Baba. We vividly recall and remember how encouraging, inspiring, persistent he was in getting our young family started and acquiring confidence in singing Bhajans and how remarkably our children developed in manifold ways under his patient and loving guidance. He showed his remarkable pioneering spirit, resilience and initiative in setting up the Sai Center of London, ON and and running it so well with unwavering love, patience and dedication. We will forever remember and respect him for all his kindness, hospitality, devotion and great work. We are sure that Bhagwan has taken him into his loving fold. Our Prayers and Wishes that Swami give all your family the strength, courage and patience to endure this difficult time. With love and gratitude, RajiRam and Family

Dear Aunty Alka, Seema, Nidhi, Pooja, Aarti and family, our heart felt sympathies and love to you all. Uncle Kailash will be sorely missed in so many ways. My memories of him are of a true gentleman who was always fully present for his family and his community. Uncle Kailash ‘s natural large hearted generosity flowed so easily from him to all whom he came in contact. It’s this kindness to those of us who were students and His tendency to refer to all of us “ Putar “ soothed and made us feel at home in so many ways. His genuine and honest way of being to his core will always be an inspiration and sustain those who love and appreciated him. Om bhairavaya namah Uncle Kailash 🙏

Nidhi, I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences to you and your family. I know this is hard time for all of you, just know your father will always be with you. Keeping you all in my thoughts & prayers.

Kailash Uncle was a truly wonderful soul who filled our lives with love, kindness, and devotion. His selfless spirit touched countless hearts and left a lasting impact on all who knew him. Kailash Uncle and Alka Aunty were like my local parents , he often refer to them as my adopted parents. Their unwavering support and warmth were constants in my life, and I cherish every moment spent with them. His home was the first school for my kids, where they learned the beauty of chanting mantras, bhajans, kirtans, and the values of Hinduism. He was a guiding light, always ready to help those in need—physically, emotionally, or financially. May his beautiful soul find peace in Baikuntha. He will forever live in our hearts, and his legacy of love will continue to inspire us. Our deepest condolences and heartfelt love to the Dheer family during this difficult time.

I have met lots of Baba Devotees, since 1990 When i was called by my Swami to visit him in Puttapurty. I have yet to meet one like of Kailash Jee. An ardent , a very true devotee of baba, every moment in his life was for Swami, his service and love. Kailash jee's humility, seva , serve others and ever smiling personality is a message for Sai devotees. He practised what he believed in. He was a founding member and a captain of Sai centre of London. very well known in Sai organization world wide. May Swami take care of him in his heavenly abode and grant peace and courage to his family. Jai Sai Ram , brother. In Swami's seva. wishwa Bali

We love you, Kailash Uncle. Knowing you was a great blessing to all of us. I was remembering you fondly just a few days ago after Shivratri, thinking about how you were an integral part of my childhood in the Sai organization. I never forget how compassionate you were to me as a young child at the retreats in London. You made me feel safe and taught me how to make wood-burning artwork when I was too overwhelmed to join other large group activities. I vividly recall you joking around with a group of us kids and making us laugh out loud. Your faith in God was powerful and energized everyone around you. Thank you for your immense contributions to this world. You will be deeply missed, but know that your legacy will live on through the countless lives that you touched. To Kailash Uncle's close friends and family - may you find healing and peace as you grieve this loss. Know that Kailash Uncle is in the highest possible heavens with his benevolent guides and with Baba. Om Shanti.

Dearest Alka Auntie, Aarti, Pooja, Nidhi, and Seema, Please accept my deepest sympathies to you all. Growing up coming to your home every Thursday was not only spiritual devotion, but also felt like family, always being greeted by Kailask Uncle's warm smile. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Love always, Rashmi Bhandarkar MacPhee

Tribute to Brother Kailash Nath Dhir: It is with deep reflection and heartfelt prayers that we acknowledge the sudden passing of our dear Brother Kailash Nath Dhir, President of the Sri Sathya Sai Baba Centre of London. His departure leaves a profound void in our Sai family in Canada and beyond. Brother Kailash was a devoted and steadfast servant of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba and a pillar of strength within the Sai Organization. For decades, he exemplified the ideals of selfless service, humility, and unwavering dedication to Swami’s teachings. His life was a shining example of what it means to live as a true Sai sevak. Many in the Sai community will remember his tireless efforts in organizing retreats for Regions 1, 2, and 3. His artistic talents, expressed through thoughtfully designed banners, displays, and devotional settings - enriched countless spiritual gatherings and created uplifting environments that inspired all who attended. His energy, enthusiasm, and quiet efficiency were both admirable and deeply valued. Brother Kailash was also instrumental in supporting national initiatives, including the 2010 Canadian Pilgrimage to Prasanthi Nilayam and the first National Conference in 2014. He was always among the first to ask how he could assist SSSIO Canada, whether through organizational support, personal service, or financial contributions. His readiness to serve without hesitation reflected his profound love for Bhagawan and for the Sai family. Beyond his visible contributions, Brother Kailash was a compassionate philanthropist who gave silently and generously to those in need, both in Canada and in India. His kindness, sincerity, and humility touched many lives in ways known and unknown. Brother Kailash’s legacy is one of devotion in action. His life stands as a reminder that true spirituality is expressed through love, service, and dedication to a higher purpose. He will be dearly missed, yet his example will continue to inspire future generations of Sai devotees. We pray that Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba grants his noble soul eternal peace at His Lotus Feet and bestows strength, courage, and comfort upon Sister Nidhi and the entire family during this time. With love and Sairam Dr. Thayananthan Thayaparan Central Coordinator Canada, Zone 1
