Dewan Bahadur P. Srinivasa Rao (alternative spellings: Shrinivasa, Sreenevas, Srinavas, etc.) was a Judge in the Court of Small Causes in Madras. He won the Subba Row Medal in 1885.

Judge Srinivasa Rao received a consoling letter from Master K.H. through the Shrine when Mme. Blavatsky was away at Ootacamund. Annie Besant writes:

Another case was that of Judge Srinivasa Rao, and he states as follows: "On the 4th March, 1884 (Madame Blavatsky and Colonel Olcott were at this time on the ocean, having left Bombay on Feb. 20th, for Marseilles) I, owing to certain domestic afflictions, felt exceedingly miserable all day." He went to Adyar, and on seeing Damodar, said he wished to see the Shrine. "He conducted me to the Occult Room upstairs forthwith, and unlocked the Shrine. He and I were standing hardly five seconds looking at the Mahatma K. H.'s portrait in the Shrine, when he (Mr. Damodar) told me that he had orders to close the Shrine, and did so immediately. This was extremely disappointing to me. But Mr. Damodar reopened in an instant the Shrine. My eye immediately fell upon a letter in a Tibetan envelope in the cup in the Shrine, which was quite empty before. I took the letter, and finding that it was addressed to me by Mahatma K. H., I opened and read it."[1]

P. Srinivasa Rao was present on the morning of June 24, 1890, when T. Subba Row attended his "last worldly business" before he died.[2]
