My shradhanjali to Pioneer of our Haribhakti FAMILY we call him MOTAMAMA
For me, he is the reason who I’m today. As being the oldest in the family, I had the privilege to spend my summer vacation with him. As a little kid, I was looking forward to going there and have the fun of my life.
My younger years memory carved in me a DIWALI TIME. Every kid was waiting eagerly for his arrival at HARIBHAKTI HAVELI.he would bring tons and tons of Firecrackers and that was a dream come true for any kid. As to all adults, I remember the long line of people and he will examine each and everyone with a big smile and gave comfort to all.
As I got older, my dream was to become engineer.As all know how much my mind was in sports, so was scared of getting admission in engineering college. My mom knew my fear and she decided to write a letter to him without my knowledge.one day to my surprise he came and took me with him without telling me where we were going. He took me to his friend’s place, who was a dean of Engineering college, Mr.L.B.Shah.From Motammama’s blessing, I became an engineer and my dream came true. Later I found out no one ever knew what he did for me. THIS WAS THE LESSON FOR ME. Any good work you do should remain within you.
The last but not least memory. As we all brothers sisters were in the USA my father got sick with Ulcer and my mom called him and he arrived immediately to Vadodra and took care of him. My mom asked him about the hospital expenses he replied with his big smile. His compassion and greatness are indescribable. Thinking and writing about him today tears are not stopping from my eyes, he was a GOD for me. My love and respect will be alive within me as long as I shall live.
