==Biography==
Kanaka was born to Santhanakrishna and Padmavathi in Chennai. Her father, Santanakrishna, was the Deputy Director of Public Instruction and Principal of Chennai Teachers College.〔http://www.harmonyindia.org/hportal/VirtualPageView.jsp?page_id=15516〕 She was one among eight children.〔http://www.harmonyindia.org/hportal/VirtualPageView.jsp?page_id=15516〕 Despite her urge to pursue spiritual studies in her early years, she went on to do medicine at the Queen Mary's College, Chennai. When stereotaxy started in Madras in 1960, Dr.Dr. B. Ramamurthi and his team, Dr. V. Balasubramaniam, Dr. S. Kalyanaraman and Dr. T.S. Kanaka supported their neurologist counterparts Dr. G. Arjundas and Dr. K. Jagannathan, thus became the earliest team in India to perform stereotaxic procedures.〔〔Neurosurgery in India, by A.P.Karapurkar and S.K.Pandya〕
Kanaka served in the Indian Army as a commissioned officer during the 1962-1963 Sino-Indian War. She was predominantly associated for most of her career with the Government General Hospital. Kanaka also taught at the Madras Medical College, Epidemiological Research Centre, Adyar Cancer Institute, Hindu Mission Hospital and other hospitals. Apart from serving a host of organisations involved in enabling the economically downtrodden to receive healthcare facilities, she had been working with TTD (Tirumala) for over 30 years. She was formerly listed in the Limca Book of Records for the highest number of blood donations by an individual. As of 2004 she was noted to have donated blood 139 times.
Kanaka is also noted to be one of the world's first female neurosurgeons. Though there were female neurosurgeons prior to her, they were from communist countries who did not come out of their countries to be recognized as such. In 1996, Kanaka became the Honorary President of the Asian Women's Neurosurgical Association. At that time she was formally acknowledged as Asia's first female neurosurgeon. She retired as a surgeon in 1990, however continued to offer consultancy services and used her lifetime earnings to establish a hospital, named after her parents as Sri Santhanakrishna Padmavathi Health Care and Research Foundation, that offered free healthcare to the needy. She is currently involved in a project that fabricates deep-brain-stimulation kits in India by Indian biomedical engineers.
