On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to Karnataka seer Siddeshwara Swami, who died at his ashram today from age-related illnesses.
The 81-year-old seer from Karnataka had a lot of health problems, but he refused to get any treatment other than painkillers. He had been in a wheelchair for a few weeks because he was sick from getting older.

PM Modi sent a tweet, “People will always remember Paramapujya Sri Siddheshwara Swami Ji for the great things he did for society. He worked hard to help other people and was respected for his desire to learn. In this time of sadness, my thoughts are with the many people who loved him. Om Shanti.”

I wish and hope that his soul, which was known as a god on the move, will rest in peace forever and that his followers will have the strength to get through this loss.”
