Abstract
India lost a distinguished physicist and philosopher in the death, after a third heart attack, of Kariamanikkam Srinivasa Krishnan. His contributions to science and his achievements especially in physics won international recognition for India. Krishnan was born on 4 December 1898, in the village of Watrap, in the Tirunelveli (now Ramnad) District of Tamilnad (Madras State). His father was a Brahmin farmer-scholar of the old school, deeply versed in Tamil and Sanskrit religious literature, who spent a good part of his time in pilgrimages to South Indian temples, particularly to Srirangam and Tirupathi. From him Krishnan inherited an abiding love of religion and philosophy and a thorough knowledge of the Tamil language and literature, and of Sanskrit. His mother was very intelligent and an excellent organizer.
