VU3GDP – Gurudatta Panda we will miss you.

Posted on June 29, 2022June 29, 2022 By Mohammad Ariff No Comments on VU3GDP – Gurudatta Panda we will miss you.

It is with great sadness that we condole the unfortunate death of OM Gurudutta Panda (VU3GDP). On 10.06.2022 VU3GDP got involved in a horrendous car accident and suffered brain damage. He succumbed to his injuries on 26.06.2022 at AIMS, Bhubaneswar, and went Silent Key.

He was one of the most avid Ham Radio operators, always full of life and enthusiasm. He had been an active Ham Radio advocate. He played an important role in inspiring young learners to take part in this hobby. He was also a part of the disaster management teams that set up communication during calamities.

He was a skilled home brewer with a great deal of wisdom on Amateur Radio and Electronics. He participated in various electronics and tech projects. One of them is constructing small-scale satellites for the Space-X agency to launch.

He actively participated in East India Ham Meet 2017, Hamfest India 2017, and East India Ham Meet 2019 organized by ARCCS – VU2GIN. He was the main person behind the East India Ham Meet 2018 which took place in Puri.

He was also crucial in raising awareness of the COVID-19 virus. Additionally, he participated in the campaign to build an airport in Behrampur. He participated in various social media campaigns for the preservation of the natural beauty of the Ganjam district.

We send his family’s grieving relatives our sincere condolences during this difficult moment. His memory will continue to beat in our hearts as we mourn the loss.

Pawan Kumar Agarwal, VU2PGU, has written the following tribute for VU3GDP:

श्रद्धांजलि गुरुदत्त पंडा 

काश ये पन्ना फाड़ देता,जो नहीं थी तेरी कहानी में,
छोड़ के चला गया हमको तु, कैसे भरी जवानी में।
ऊर्जावान था,होनहार था, करते थे तुझे प्यार सभी,
अब नहीं होगा दीदार तेरा,करें सजदा अंतिम बार सभी,
हो गए हैं शोकाकुल ,असमय तेरी रवानी में,
छोड़ के चला गया हमको तु, कैसे भरी जवानी में।

एक जज्बा था तेरे भीतर,कुछ करने का जुनून था,
धुन का पक्का था तु तो,कुछ ऐसा तुझमें गुण था,
इक जोश सा था तेरे भीतर,कुछ बात थी तेरी वाणी में,
छोड़ के चला गया हमको तु, कैसे भरी जवानी में।

श्रद्धांजलि देते हैं तुझको,करते हैं संताप ’गुरु’,
भरपूर जिया इस जीवन को,और छोड़ गया है छाप ’गुरु’,
सब से घुल मिल जाता था,ज्यों रंग घुले है पानी में,
छोड़ के चला गया हमको तु, कैसे भरी जवानी में।
