By Dr. R. Balasubramaniam
Hearing the passing away of S. P. Balasubrahmanyam (SPB) yesterday left me with a feeling of emptiness. For me, he was not just a musical legend who sang a world record of more than 40,000 songs in 15 languages. He was one of the most compassionate humanists that I have met and interacted with. For us at SVYM (Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement), he was much more than a donor or a well-wisher who had committed to one programme each year in support of our Palliative Care programme. He was a friend, an integral part of our mission and more than anything, he was someone who saw service as spiritual sadhana.
