He was generous to us. We are sad you lost Jiva.

I remember spending a very special day with Jiva at Wattamolla Beach. He shone like the sun 🌞

In honour of the mighty Jiva, for your bravery and the love you gave to so many.

Jiva was a beautiful and creative person who impacted so many people with his talents, humanity, humour and warmth. I miss him very much. Dianne (and partner Chris) He truly lived his life the best he could. Thanks to Parkinson’s Australia for the support and advocacy they do

My deepest condolences. Thankful for the light and good that Jiva brought to his friends, family and everyone he touched. Xx

Always leaving a warm and sunny spot in our hearts for you. I hope you can swim and eat to all your heart’s content where you go.

May god rest Jiva soul in peace.

I will always remember how you lit people up for just being you and for all the steps you have bravely taken - you are a star. I hope you know that you shined the light on a path people wouldn't have otherwise known, thank you x

Jiva has been huge inspiration to so many as a dancer. Leader and community leader. I knew and danced with him in London and am so devastated to hear the news of his passing. I send my deepest condolences. Liz

Our dear Jiva, Generous, creative soul and our beautiful friend. We will miss you. Sending love to Jiva’s family and many friends.

Your presence is really missed. Always joyful

My deepest condolences to all who love Jiva. What a tremendous loss. I’m so greatful for his impact as a social being, in the arts and community sector. Plus his legacy as a beacon for creatives - especially Tamils & beautiful brown weirdo third-culture-kids of diaspora experience.

I will miss your smile, and your messages, your creativity and passion x

Dear Jiva's family. I work at STARTTS and never met him but heard so much about him. Even though we'd never met, I felt deeply impacted by his death and knew he must've made such a difference in this world while he was here. Sincerely, Rebecca

I extend my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. May Jiva rest in peace. Rosa

So sorry for your loss. Jiva was larger than life and brought joy to so many people.

Jiva was such a vital, funny, smart human and artist. My deepest sympathies to his family and many friends. He’ll be deeply missed.

I will always cherish the stories and the many laughs we shared. Oh to have one more chai with you! Until then, I promise to take moments of reflection at the rivers. I promise to always wear party hats. I promise to dance with joy. I promise to share and continue experiencing the art you blessed us with. You paved the path for us. Love you Jiva.

Jiva’s light continues to burn bright in our hearts. He’s touched our life with so much joy. A decade isn’t enough time but so grateful for all the moments we had together. Will miss you dear friend.

Kayin & I will always remember you dear Jiva. You touched our lives in so many ways. Thank you.

Farewell, dear friend. Thank you for your kind heart and beautiful soul. I am grateful for all the lunches and conversations we have had together! You will be sorely missed ❤️
