In this document conferring the Doctorate on Mr. Krishnamani, it is mentioned inter alia as follows : Your brief stint in politics during your student days and trade unionism came to befitting end when you came under the influence of the noble saint Sri Navajata of Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicheery, After that encounter, you devoted all your time and energy to spiritualism and social uplift though remaining a lawyer of repute.

A lawyer with a human face championing the cause of the common people by delivering justice at their doorstep, you have had an indisputable trace record as the President of the Supreme Court Bar Association in addition to holding several other important portfolios.

Sir, you are a perfect combination of a wise head and a weeping heart that uses knowledge noit for pedantry or pecuniary benefits but for empathising with those brethren of ours who do have a cause but do not have the wherewithal to approach a court of law.
