Early Life
Hegde hailed from the aristocratic Nayara Bettu Bunt family of Kawdoor in Karkala taluk, Udupi district, Karnataka, India. Born the son of a wealthy aristocrat Kawdoor Subhayya Hegde and Irmaadi Lingamma Heggadathi, he was the last progeny among a brood of seven siblings of the Bunt couple. His elder siblings were Laxmi, Shrinivas, Radha, Rukhmini, Ramayya and Kamala. Young Sadananda was born many years after the last daughter Kamala and as is the widely held belief, being the youngest in the family was undoubtedly the most pampered. He was exceptionally brilliant in studies.

Famous quotes containing the words early life, early and/or life:
“... goodness is of a modest nature, easily discouraged, and when much elbowed in early life by unabashed vices, is apt to retire into extreme privacy, so that it is more easily believed in by those who construct a selfish old gentleman theoretically, than by those who form the narrower judgments based on his personal acquaintance.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“When lilacs last in the dooryard bloomed
And the great star early drooped in the western sky in the night,
I mourned, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.
Ever-returning spring, trinity sure to me you bring,
Lilac blooming perennial and drooping star in the west,
And thought of him I love.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“The richest princes and the poorest beggars are to have one great and just judge at the last day who will not distinguish between them according to their ranks when in life but according to the neglected opportunities afforded to each. How much greater then, as the opportunities were greater, must be the condemnation of the one than of the other?”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
