Vijay Kumar

April 26, 2026

Vijay passed away on April 26, 2026. He was predeceased by his loving wife, Krishna Kumar. He is survived by his children, Tushar (Priti Rita) and Simonica (Nick). Vijay was the adored grandfather of Vishal and Vinay. Vijay adored his two grandsons, and they, along with his daughter’s bird, Kiwi, filled his heart and days with joy.

Vijay lived a very long and wonderful life. He was able to enjoy the growth of the London East Indian community. He was one of the four pillars of the Hindu Cultural Centre. London became his second home when he left India in 1967. Vijay’s ties with his community will always be remembered by everyone who has met him. Vijay was passionate about teaching Theosophy and the Vedantas to so many of his friends and people in the community.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, April 30, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Westview Funeral Home and Cremation Centre, 709 Wonderland Road North, London. For those unable to attend a livestream is available.

Mamaji, you will be missed a lot. I had some of my most memorable moments spent with you, listening to all your life stories and great contributions to the society really inspired me. You will always be in my thoughts.

~ Sonia (Shweta Kataria)

with a very heavy heart, I offer my prayers to a very close friend, guru and a personal guide who helped not me alone but also many many others in pursuit of spiritual path. I used to talk to him almost every day and always encouraged him to face life bravely in spite of his many physical problems. He was in one sense my relative too as his wife Krishna jee always treated me as her brother. May god bless his soul and rest with BRAHAMAN, the absolute reality, he used to talk all the time. good bye

It still feels unreal to be writing this. Just two weeks ago, you were sitting in our London home, sharing your warmth, your laughter, and that unmistakable presence that filled every room so effortlessly. To hear of your sudden passing has left a deep ache - one that words can hardly capture. To me, you were were more than "Uncle" or my God Father - you were a guiding presence, a source of wisdom, and a constant in our lives. Your impact on our Hindu community in London was profound. You brought people together, uplifted those around you, and carried yourself with a grace and dignity that was rare. I will always remember your joyful giggle, your quick wit, and the way your humour could lighten even the heaviest moments. You had a brilliant mind, a kind heart, and an effortless charm. And always - so impeccably dressed, so polished, so put together. A truly classy man in every sense. I feel incredibly grateful and blessed that God placed you in my life. The lessons you shared, the memories you gave us, and the love you showed will stay with me forever. May God grant you a peaceful and harmonious journey onward. May your soul find eternal peace, and may your presence continue to surround and guide all of us who were fortunate enough to know and love you. You will be deeply missed, always remembered, and forever cherished. I will always remember your impact, Uncle. My heartfelt condolences to didi and Tushar bhaiya! - Priya, Naveen, Anaya, and Amara
