You have been on my mind a lot lately Kumie,
Missing you and your wonderful bright self. Sending you lots of love. XXOO

March is almost over and I am looking forward to April my favorite time of the year when my brother came into my life. I hope you all join me in celebrating Kumars birthday with exuberant memories and deep breathes of joy and appreciation for being touched by such a beautiful being.

I love being able to remember Kumar and share in this remembering with others who knew and loved him. FB is a great idea. Thank you to Chinmaya for having kept this site going for the past six years. It is a great sharing.
March and April are such poignant months. The anniversary of Kumar's passing is quickly followed by his birth day. I think of Kumar and cherish the memories of the times we had together.
Miss you, Bear.

Hi, Kumar. It's very fast to passing day going. My life is a lot of thing changing now. Every time when I lost my way I watch one pic that u point to beautiful sky.

And crack beer again.

Dear friends and family,

I'm considering taking this site down as its been up for a long time and from the guestbook seems to be less used lately.

Any thoughts? Transformation ideas?

keep the fire burning!

Happy b-day! Thinking of you and your beautiful family. Xoxo

Hey Kumar,

It's been five years since you left us, but we can still feel your presence like it was yesterday.

Like Jyoti said, our hearts go out to the Japanese in this terrible time. May they feel all our arms around them.

Miss you.

Kate

Prayers go out to everyone in Japan who has been affected by the devastating earthquake. Kumars spirit is very much alive in that area we hold so close to our hearts.

What's up K !
Hope you are having a great day wherever you are.

Us mortals down here on earth are, you know, having our ups and downs.

Miss you as always..

Never forget ya

Joel

Just thought I'd stop by and take a moment with you Kumie. XXOO peace and love forever

Hey Kumar
Thinking of you buddy and sending you heaps of warmth and love from Down Under - a place I know you were keen to come, if only for its beautiful waves. I just got a rush of nostalgia while randomly surfing the net late a night and reading through past voyage reports on the Peace Boat website...so many wonderful memories and an honour that many of my PB travellin' tales were shared with you during the 43rd and 51st round the worlds! Big HUGS to your beautiful family, and please know that we think of you often. XXX joh

Happy Ending!

Hey Kumi,
Sending you lots of love as always.
XOXO,
Me

Hi Kumar, and Kumar's folks

I only met you once, at the Peace Conference in Kyoto, we talked about using Esperanto on the the Peace Boat to give more people a chance to appreciate what both the language and the Peace Boat have to offer.

You struck me at the time as the kind of person the world needs more of and I'm glad that you live on in our memories at least.

Peace,
Penny

thinking of you XXOO

Kumar happy belated birthday !!

still in my thoughts always - and inspire me on to do things better.

I have my Kumar Quotes on hand in my head whenever I need some advice

it's so unspeakably sad that you
went before your time. I speak for many in saying this.

You are never forgotten and never will be - the ripples you created on the many people you met in Japan at the very least will continue to morph into waves. You inspired many people !!!

Happy Birthday Kumar!

Hey Kumar:
Back on board the Peace Boat and sailing around the south. I saw the most perfect sunset tonight and went through all the wicked memories of you, my friend. We're on our way to Tahiti, where I had such an amazing time, chilling and chatting with you. Thank you -- again and again and again -- for bringing me with you on that incredible first voyage.

I'm still so grateful for having met you, Kums.

To Ischi, Chinmaya, Jyoti and all the family:

I hope you know that Kumar is always in my thoughts, as are all of you.
I hope I can see you all again someday soon.

Please be well and know that while Kumar is forever missed, he still brings a smile to us all.

Much love to all of you.

Nick

Hi Kumi, I ma here at your house with the family and we are here to honor you - it's been 4 years but you are really still with us. we love you so much and miss you.

Hey Kumar,
always thinking of you I hope you are reading this page, although you are gone from our eyes you are never far from our hearts, and I see your ghosts in old haunts around Tokyo.

while we carry on in the trenches of everyday life, it's always inspiring to think of how you squeezed life like a lemon for everything you could, and I'll continue doing that for you.

Thinking of you as the seasons change over here in Tokyo

Joel
