Kadaba, June 20, 2025: In a tragic incident that has sent shockwaves through Bengaluru and the Subrahmanya Math community, Prasanna (64), a respected resident of Basavanagudi and General Power of Attorney (GPA) holder of Sri Samput Narasimha Swamy Subrahmanya Math, lost his life after reportedly falling from a moving train near Naganahalli on Thursday.

According to sources, Prasanna had visited Subrahmanya to participate in crucial discussions regarding ongoing legal matters and a potential reconciliation between the Math and Subrahmanya temple authorities.
