He was a person with above average height, very
fair complexioned with well-proportioned limbs.
He had a very melodious resonating voice that
was capable of putting the audience into rapt
attention. His eyes were sharp and when he
looked at others compassion used to over flow
from them. From 1945 onwards he wore dhoti with
a long coat and used to wear a white turban.

He got married in 1926 to Sow. Rukmini (Rajamma)
who belonged to a distinguished family of
Patrachariars. His wife’s uncle was Rao Bahadur
Narasimhachariar, who was District Judge in the
then Madras Presidency. His first child a female Rohini was born on 12th
Dec. 1932. Unfortunately his daughter died of
small pox on 12th Dec.1934 giving him and his
young wife happiness only for 2 years. His first
son Aravinda Rajagopal was born in August 1935
and his second son Srivatsan in July 1937. His
third son
Narayana was born in June 1939. His
father retired from Govt. Service in 1939 and
settled down at Tirupati.
In May 1941, his wife delivered the second
female child Padmini, after three boys.
In April 1943 another daughter Chitra was born.
In Oct. 1944 another son Bhagavan (Vijayasree)
was born to him. In Dec. 1947 another
daughter
Gayathri was born to him. His daughter Padmini
was married on 26th May.1961. This was a
marriage with his cousin Y.K. Srinivasan who was
totally devoted to him and his wife and who
treated them as their gurus. He is the son of
Sri. Narasimhachariar, his uncle. But his
daughter did not like the alliance and opted for
a marriage with some one outside the Family
tradition and culture. Master Sri Ramachandraji
did send a note to Padmini and also Rs. 101/-.
Doctor felt that there is change in her and
prayed that it be permanent. Master wrote to Him
that his Master remained at Tirupati with him
for several days together and this he (Master)
could observe on 24th may and also continued to
say that he left doctors house on 26th May At
10-55 P.M. He said further that he is so happy
with this marriage and offered prayer again for
the long life and the prosperity of the couple.
But his daughter died on 23rd Nov 63. His
attitude to this unfortunate incident may be
seen from the following lines he wrote to his
Master “Yes: God’s ways are Inscrutable and I
had not even the inkling of this kind to come. I
have had disgrace in profession, disasters in
personal life but this threat to honor and now
death I never thought would be my portion.
Indeed this has been a shock to faith on the
part of onlookers and perhaps even of abhyasis.”
In a letter to his son
Narayana who felt that
the talk of Yoga and Grace of Master are
bordering on non sense he wrote “ I am speaking
or writing to you in all frankness and God has
indeed punished us because we did not know human
nature, of children, of sisters or boys and so
on and friends too. We can be beguiled and
misled and this is what makes one seek to arrive
at that knowledge that cannot deceive-and that
is a gift of God. Punishment is for reformation,
not retribution. It is when guided by God a real siksha, training in Divine Life. Know all as the
gifts of a most benevolent guru-God. Nothing can
happen without His will, and His will is just
and good. We are children of Risis and I confess
to belong to the family of Plato and so are
you.”
When he retired from service on 31st May 1963,
his eldest son was still through education doing
Ph. D. His youngest son was studying Engineering
and two daughters not married. The
responsibilities were weighing very heavily on
him. His first son was married on 31st Aug.
1964. On 10th June 1965 his third son,
Sri K.C.
Narayana and
daughter Chitra were married.
Sri K.C. Narayana
was married to Smt K.C. Santha who served Pujya
Dr. K.C.
Varadachari and the Master Pujya Sri
Ramchandraji Maharaj and has naturally been
rewarded with their blessings giving her
very high approaches in spiritual life. All this brought
emotional satisfaction to Pujya Dr. K.C.
Varadachari and his wife who
was almost shattered with the earlier incidents
and very poor health. She was a bad diabetic and
had not controlled the same.
Unfortunately he faced three bereavements in
1965. The first one on 16th Oct.65 when a
brother in law died, the second his uncle on
21st Oct.65 and the third one of his wife on
23rd nov.65. He already had lost the company of
his cousin Ramanujam on 4th May 1964. All these
had their own impact on him and emotionally he
was feeling tilted in his balance. Therefore
whenever he went to Madras he used to enquire
about his second son who was working there. Many
a time his son used to be busy with his work and
would not turn up to the bus station or arrive
later leading to the professor feeling the same.
He however considered the abhyasis who came to
the bus station as those representing his son
and in fact did call Parthasarathy as his son
since he never missed coming to receive him. He
delivered lectures in the University till March
1966 when the assignment was completed. On 10th
July 1966, his second son got married.
