Madikeri: Biddanda K. Subbaiah, fondly called as Jack Subbaiah, who was revered as a Guru by thousands of people in Kodagu and outside, passed away in Bengaluru last evening. He was 84. Subbaiah founded Soham Dhyana Yoga and owned Modur Estate near Madikeri. He was also the President of Kodagu Vidyalaya.
He propagated Advaitha philosophy and had many followers even in foreign countries and he used to stress on Dhyana Yoga. Oneness and unity with God was among his preaching and he criticised the common habit of praying for divine intervention for problems faced by human beings. Whenever problems bother a person, Jack used to say, “Time to Pass”. He used to advise people that like passing clouds, problems too will pass.
