SALUTING MOTHERS : OUR FIRST TEACHER IN LIFE

C. B. Patel Publisher - Editor

ा ु ू ं े ं े े ा With this spirit, the principle of respect for women was created in India before centuries. India has provided the world with a vivid history of widows, women and women saints. In our ancient Vedas, the verse "Nari Tu Narayani" guides us to consider women as a form of power. The word "female power" ("Nari Shakti") is derived from the Sanskrit language. Nari means women and Shakti means strength. The word 'female power' is used to symbolise the success of women in overcoming challenges with full force in their lives. Mahasati Ansuya, with her inner strength, created a child out of Tridev, who came to her door, and then made him sleep in the cradle. Sati Savitri was able to make her dead husband alive by winning against Yamaraj. God has provided great power to women. In the Vedic Upanishad period, women had the same status as men. Our history has been fully illuminated by the influence of powerful women like Gargi, Lopamudra and Gjibai, Ahilyabai Holkar, Queen Manikarnika Tambe of Jhansi, Putalibai. There is a saying among us that a man can help a family survive, but a woman can help survive the entire dynasty of her father and her husband. Over and above in keeping up with each relationship, she preserves and nurtures them throughout life with great responsibility. The task of inculcating sacraments after conceiving a child is done only by women in the form of mother. Mother is a child's first teacher. Mother's personality and work ethic have both positive and negative effects on the child. "²×¹ કв¡ 98¶Цઇ³Ъ Ë¹Цє ╙¿¾Ц9 ´ЦÄ¹ђ Ã¯ђ,

Similarly, on Putlibai in her child Mohan (Gandhi) on the Kathiawadi soil of Porbandar, Ladba, who gave birth to an iron man on the Charotar land of Gujarat, and Hiraba, a poor mother from Vadnagar, who washed clothes and utensils at other houses; planted the best rites in son Narendra. Presenting the success story of their mother power with the immortal story of such heroic, great grandsons, the poets emotionally sing "§³³Ъ §® ¯ђ

·Ū §®§щ, કЦє±Ц¯Ц કЦє¿аº, ³ÃỲ ¯ђ ºÃщ§щ¾Цє¨®Ъ ¸¯ ¢Ь¸Ц¾Ъ¿ ³аº". The mother power of several civilizations on global

landscape have imbibed the seeds of nationalism, traditional values and good deeds in their off-springs. One mother could be enough against the teachings

of a hundred teachers. The role of a woman is important in instilling social, religious and cultural heritage in the family. Historically since ages, the mother power of our society has made significant contributions in many areas of life, apart from the family. With a feeling of pride and happiness we publish a special issue praising such examples of the power of motherhood. Centuries ago, at a time when women's education was not important, there was a lady who lost her husband at a young age on the foreign land of AfricaKenya. This inspirational lady, Laduma Dhamecha from the Raghuvanshi Lohana community, protected her wealth and family with her resourcefulness, wisdom and discretion. Laduma's fourth generation has made her immortal by doing social service under the aegis of The Laduma Foundation Trust. By educating thousands of students in Kampala and Mbale in Uganda in the 60s and 70s and giving them an invaluable gift of traditional Indian art heritage. Kantaben Prabhakantbhai Patel, who has used resources for the benefit of the society. Kantaben Patel became an inspiration for her family by making religion and spiritualism as her way of life. Hansaben Gadhia, who is an inspiration for his children and grandchildren. Bhanuma, who spreads the learnings of Pujya Jalaram as a satsang in the country and abroad. Bhartiben Kantaria through her 'Divyaseva foundation' who has been doing excellent social service by helping children in Gujarat's rural areas, orphans and corona infected people. Manglaben Patel who was impressed by the master strokes of cricketer R.D. in East Africa in the 50s and decided to have him as her life partner. Another mother power Shantaba who is no longer alive among us but her sons Bhikhubhai and Vijaybhai Patel and family members have given immortality to her mother by doing many charities through Shanta Foundation Trust. Mothers symbolise the very close relationship of every living being. Describing a mother who nurtures her child and shapes her future, poet Umashankar says that it is difficult for us to understand the knowledge of the Upanishads but "Ten Tyakten Bhunjitha:" meaning the 'pleasure is giving' can only be made meaningful by a mother. Mother is the birth giver, but she is the one with divine eyes who has contributed towards the base of shaping your life as a mother. Mother never changes for a human, may that be from being one year old to be a hundred years old. Times change, society changes, culture changes but for centuries, Mother's story, her role has not changed. We spend hours and hours talking about life, business, God or spirituality, but when we talk about motherhood unintentionally, our hearts and minds are enlightened with divine emotion. We hope that all of you readers will like this special issue which applauds Mother Power. ASIAN VOICE & GUJARAT SAMACHAR

in entire East Africa. Due to their wholehearted efforts and loving relations, 'Dhamecha Cash and Carry' started getting popular with time. Loving Laduma was very happy staying with the families of three brothers in London. She also became joyful while visiting their huge Cash and Carry store. All her three sons were closely associated with each other and lived in the same road at Harrow. Today also there is love and respect for each other in the family and they immensely respect their mother Laduma. Due to the qualities of compassion, service and good deeds imbibed by Laduma in her three children, the children donated a fraction of their income to social service. The brothers family unity played an important and leading role in business and social service. The inspiring tradition of family co-operation Today Laduma's fourth generation are also engaged in 'Dhamecha Cash and Carry' business. The whole family works like a single unit in co-ordination with each other. As a result, Dhamecha family is achieving one after the other milestones of success. The ever smiling Laduma got the fruits of her tremendous hard work as she became the witness of

the family's high social and financial status. On 17th August 1987 Laduma breathed her last in front of her entire family on the auspicious day of 'Janmashtami'. Today Laduma's eldest son Khodidasbhai and younger brother Jayatibhai who is honored not only in Lohana community but, entire Gujarati and Indian community is not between us, but, we can witness the unity and compassion of their family. A Gujarati proverb says, "³Ц¸ ºÃє¯Ц «કºЦ, ³Ц®Цє³¾ ºÃє¯, Чક╙¯↓કыºЦ કђª¬Ц ´Ц¬¹Ц ³¾ ´¬ѕ¯" (Meaning: A person may not be present on this planet, but, he can become immortal by his good deeds). The same reflects the spirit of Respected Khodidasbhai, the main pillar of the Dhamecha family who passed away a year ago at his native place in Jamnagar, Gujarat, in the presence of his family and various renowned Gujarati saints.

In last few years there has been a substantial increase in the business activities of Dhamecha Brothers. Today the third generation of Laduma Ratanshibhai Dhamecha efficiently manages huge 'Dhamecha Cash and Carry' stores in 10 places including London, Leicester and Burmingham. However, the family has still not forgotten the great grandmother's views, good deeds, teachings and education. Laduma Dhamecha Charitable Trust The three Dhamecha brothers – Khodidasbhai, Shantibhai and Jayantibhai established 'Laduma Dhamecha Charitable Trust' in the memory of their mother Laduma in UK and other countries, by means of which they are providing social service to the needy and the underprivileged. Now the fourth generation of the family continues to contribute in various charity purposes. The huge contribution of 'Laduma Charitable Trust' towards human social service in Britain, India and East Africa gives a sense of pride to this family. Laduma Dhamecha Charitable Trust supported transformation of Water, Hygiene and Sanitation (WASH)

infrastructure for over thousand children from rural communities. The Trust also enabled the schools to bring in, for the first time ever, smart classrooms for these students. Improved toilets, drinking water facilities, and access to 21st century tools and technology for teachinglearning, in turn, helped pave the way for enhanced student enrolment, attendance and learning outcomes. It also helped advance the country’s mission of educating the girl child. One of the schools supported by the Trust –LalpurKanyaShala – had 308 girls who were suffering from poor health and drop outs due to deplorable watersanitation facilities and lack of privacy. However, with the newly created facilities in the school, the girls are now eager to come to schools and pursue their dreams. Dhamecha family has given substantial amount of donation towards Indians trapped in covid pandemic. They have donated funds for buying ventilators, oxygen cylinders, beds, 1008 sticks for the blind etc. to Vallabh Youth Organisation and other organisations in India. Pradipbhai, Manishbhai and the entire family remembers the noble deeds of Laduma. The simple philosophy of welfare of people and the communities it operates in has always remained the cornerstone of the Group. At Wembley head office of 'Dhamecha Cash and Carry' there is a divine picture of Laduma giving blessings with her benchmark smile. We bow down to all the members of Dhamecha Family for showing compassion and providing wholehearted social service with the consistent inspiration of Laduma.

Living with elders will teach you many useful lessons ANAND P DHAMECHA rowing up in a household with three generations has been the norm for our Dhamecha family, ever since the family settled in the UK from Kenya in the early 70’s. My parents, Pradip & Veena, lived with our grandparents Khodidasbhai and Lalitaben and grandmother, Laduma Baa. My sisters, Radhika and Ridhi, and I have also lived with our grandparents and parents since we were born. Living in a household with three or four generations is of course common in India, however it is less so in the UK and western countries because of limited household space and so forth. I have thoroughly enjoyed living with my grandparents and feel strongly that I have a special bond with them as a result. The influence they’ve had on my upbringing has made me who I am today. Living with elders teaches us to remain respectful of others, instils discipline and patience and helps us appreciate the views of our parents and elders. I have fond memories of my Dadi, Lalitaben, teaching me bhajans from a young age and stories of our religion. I also remember my late

Dada, Khodidasbhai, helping my learn and practise Gujarati, our mother tongue, teaching me the importance of compromise and sacrifices in joint families, understanding the ethics and principles of running a family business and always being kind and respectful to others I look back fondly on the times my Dada would drop me off to school and talk to me to me about my studies and how important education is for the young generation of today – he was a true visionary. My Dada was an incredible man and was the pillar of not just our immediate family but the wider Dhamecha family, along his two younger brothers Shanti Kaka and late Jayanti Kaka. Dada’s emphasis on the importance of family unity has passed down to my parents and myself, and I hope one day I can raise my own children with the same values. The strong bond that my sisters and I share with our Dada and Dadi is primarily due to the fact that we all lived together. When we were growing up, our Dada and Dadi would shower us with such love and affection. We really enjoyed taking Dada to restaurants to enjoy Chinese and

Indian meals with our parents, Pradip and Veena. Having meals together, listening to their stories and going on trips to supermarkets with them became part of our everyday lives. When our Dada &Dadi were in India, where they spent over 6 months a year, we would miss them immensely. We would also frequently visit them in Jamnagar, India and we got to see the place they truly considered home. Our regular trips to India helped us spend quality time with them and strengthen our bond with India too. In the Western world, some see living in the same household with your wife, kids and parents as a negative, however, I see looking after our parents as they grow older as fulfilling given how much they have sacrificed for us. It is easy to forget that our parents and grandparents were our first teachers in teaching us about our culture, values and religion. This helps us to remain grounded, humble and respectful of our Indian roots. Dada was really proud to see the family unity within the wider Dhamecha family members and all that he and his brothers Shanti Kaka and late Jayanti Kaka achieved over the years. I am indeed blessed that I got to spend so much of my time with my Dadi and late Dada both here in the UK and in India.

THE ILLUSTIOUS STUDENTS OF

LATE KANTABEN PRABHAKANT PATEL AUTHOR, ACTOR AND TEACHER

Dr Milind Jani In conversation with Prabhakantbhai Patel………… Now that the Covid 19 restrictions have lifted , here we were, Prabhakantbhai and I in a safe bubble at his house, remembering our dear Late Kantaben, his beloved wife of 61 years, and my beloved Teacher and Guru from childhood! It was the first time after 18 months that I was able to visit and be with Prabhakantbhai personally to offer solace to his broken heart, after Kantamadam’s sad departure 6 weeks ago..We were reminiscing overthe incredible influence that Kantamadam, as we all fondly called her,had on me and so many other students from primary and secondary school in India, Uganda, and UK. The little children of Indian Origin who received an all round education and coaching under her are successfully settled in their lives and careers all over the world, still maintaining contact with their beloved teacher and Guru till the end. I found myself wondering why we are feeling so much affection and reverence towards thisbeautiful 96 year old lady who just left us? My father Mr R. A. Jani was Kantaben’s closest colleague and a family friend , and they worked together with huge dedication to impart an allround developmental education to their pupils to prepare them for their future success. Why it matters to remember this now? Todays educational systems are faltering, that’s why. It is said that the first seven years of a child are so crucial that whatever the child learns and experiences during the first seven years, forms the foundation and scaffolding for the success or failure of his or her future life, and establishes the structure of the brain. The great Philosopher Aristotle is quoted here-“Give me a child until he is seven and I will show you the man”. Kantaben’s all round education to us was way ahead of time. What she used to tell us is now defined by academic institutions-“ Anall round education isa balance where academic results certainly matter, but with wider opportunities for children to be involved with life outside the classroom. To be part of choirs, orchestras, plays, sports tours and other extra-curricular group activities is an education all of its own…” -Independent School

Parent Magazine Let me share some priceless examples of some selectedillustrious students of Kantamadam! Let me start with myself- not so illustrious but humbly grateful. You will enjoy reading about all of us in Kantamadam’s book “ Vinela Phool” . Please do read it. It is full of eternal lessons of life and wisdom. Kantaben was my first teacher who I adored at school. She initiated me into performing skills like acting, elocution and dance drama at that tender age which laid the firm foundation for my future extra curricular

skills in these areas. I must pay tribute to my late parents too, my father Mr R. A Jani, who was my motivating force and a close colleague of Kantaben. Together they wrote and directed so many of our plays. My most notable skills in extracurricular activities I gained from Kantamadam were my first Elocution prize at age 7, a triple role play act , and a Dance drama on Budha’s life -all these left an indelible impact on my mind – the virtues and the moral values and the life lessons that I learned from these at a tender age made the foundation for my future life build on those values as a good successful citizen. Perhaps the first and foremost notable student of Kantamadam form 1955- 1959, Ahmedabad, isProfessor Rooshikumar Pandya in Mumbai – who became a famous musician, Sitar Player, Author, Philosopher, Corporate Management Consultant,Motivational Speaker and much more!. He learned Sitar under Padma Bhushan Sitar Player Annapurna Deviand later married her. Ref. “Vinela Phool”pg 94-95. ASIAN VOICE & GUJARAT SAMACHAR

Another great student, Kantibhai Amlani – who became a highly successful businessman in UK, was Kantaben’s student in Kampala. So high was the respect and trust towards histeacher that sought her approval before marrying Manjulaben from Bugiri! They are still together after 65 years! Our respected Rasikaben Patel , her student form Secondary School , Kampala, who is a well-known social leader and Trustee of the Sanatan Hindu Mandir in Wembley, London. She invited her teacher Kantamadam to help her direct and train children in staging the various cultural activities and dance dramas. This beautiful Teacher Student relationship that started decades ago continued with such bond even in old age! Dr Ushaben Savani is a GP in Sheffield, another student form Kampala 1955-1959 who has kept in touch.Chandubhai Bhamaljan-( check surname), Proprietor of the famous Shakoni restaurant in Wembley, London, was also her student in Kampala. Moving to Mbale in 1960 ,there are many students who stillkjeep in touch with affection. Mefusa Pathan became a successful Teacherherself,, Headmistressat a

of the stars ofKantaben’ s Ras and Garbatroupe, taking part in competitions Nationally. Prabhakant bhai was one of the participants inthe group when they staged the show at Lugogo stadium in Kampala, Uganda. We remember respected Mr Jasbhai Patel, Advocate, whose daughters Shobhnaben and Jayshree (my classmate) – who led the Brahma Kumari meditation and Spirituality centre in Brighton and Hove. What an amazing co-incidence that we ended up in Brighton again years later in the 90s – and our friendship has continued to date! Finally the star of this wonderful life- story must be Prabhakantbhai- the most favourite student of Kantaben who stole her heart- they married and made it successful fulfilling married life for 61 years. Becoming a role model for us all, in unbreakable harmony and love, pursuing great activities together, inspite of the 18 year age difference and strong family and social oppositions. My heart echoes with my father’s words- “Great teachers don’t teach, they help you learn and become role models”, like Kantamadam and Prabhakantbhai! Dr Milind Jani MBBS FRCS Retired Surgeon and GP , Brighton and Hove.

school in Vancouver , Canada, who has been in touch regularly. She invited Kantaben and Prabhakantbhai to her son’s Wedding reception in 2000 . Anil Patel- later changed his name to Anil Kumar — author of “Good Bye, Mr Patel” has an interesting tale behind his name change- in his words in Kantaben’s book“ Kantamadam wasn’t teaching, she was educating us – Anil was a cricketer in Mbale and a favourite student of Kantaben and became a Chartered accountant. I am still in touch with Kokilaben Patel who was one

AMAZING & TALENTED KANTABEN BHABHI

Atul Patel My Kantabhabi, writing this is not enough to describe just how amazing she was. A selfless person who would go out of her way to make sure that you were always well taken care of. I myself was always spoilt when I would visit her and motabhai. Her first words were to ask if I had eaten and invariably even if I had she would ask what I would like to eat. She would then proceed to go out of her way to ensure that I was fed with what I wanted. Aside from all her other talents she was also an accomplished cook

whipping up amazing dishes at the drop of a hat. She would make sure it was always freshly made. Whenever I introduced my friends during the time I lived with motabhai and bhabi, they always said that her heart was full of happiness and she always had a wonderful smile and brilliant conversation. Her passing has had a huge impact on motabhai and the family. I have been caring for my brother and I have noticed that the phone hasn't stopped ringing. As the news has filtered through the community and her former students have found out that she has passed away, they are deeply saddened by this news and they share their fond memories of her with my motabhai. This progressive, educated forward thinking woman has left a legacy behind and her memories will linger on for years to come. God bless her soul and may the light shine on the path she takes.

Bhakti Shyama Centre: Special Care for Asian Seniors A Residential/Nursing home in Balham, South London, the Bhakti Shyama Care Centre opened in December 2011, largely caring for Asian seniors in mind. An experienced and passionate team fully acquainted with the demands of a care home, looks after residents suffering from Dementia, offers them palliative care, respite care, long term care, reablement care, and end of life care. Emphasising the term ‘Asian Care Home', Manisha Patel, (Senior Administrator) said, "I stress on the term, Not only are our seniors pure vegetarians by choice of religion or others, there is also a language barrier which triggers the major part of their problems. How will a person communicate in a dialect foreign to them? Our Asian residents

Dear Anita, I would like me and my family to say big thank you to you and your entire team of staff under your management. Bhakti Shyama nursing care centre is providing excellent 5 star care by their carers. My mother went to this care centre with poor health and in last 6 months has improved so much that words can not describe. We are so fortunate to have a care home in South London like this and & I also thank God for this. Kind Regards- Sailesh Makhecha ---------Would like to provide feedback on my dads visit to the Bhakti Shyama care home. It was a very well organised visit, we were required to complete lateral flow tests on arrival before being let in. Anita the care home manager as always was very helpful and polite and made a very positive experience seeing my mother. She does a very good job. Very impressed with the cleanliness of the care home too. Many thanks - Sanil Mehta

Elaborating on the services provided by Bhakti Shyama Centre, Manisha said they make sure the right kind of care with dignity is being offered, with service with quality to all. The centre's Manager Anita, along with her team is currently working towards the Gold Standard framework programme; which is an intense course on caring for end of life care and support for the resident, family as well as the staff. It also prioritises care with dignity, especially when patients suffer from terminal illness, and offering psychological support to the family. Manisha describes the work in a care industry as one full of passion. The staff at Bhakti Shyama Care Centre considers the patient as their parents and treat them the way they would want to be treated at their age.

All elderly who wish to be enrolled in the programme will need to be assessed by their local authority. The Adult Access Team evaluates the person and decides whether they need to be placed in a care home or not. In most cases, they prefer to keep a person at home by giving them a care package. However, this isn't always the right decision especially, when a person suffers from dementia and their needs are more stressful on their loved ones than them. Care homes like Bhakti Shyama are functional examples of why such centres are not always bad places for your loved ones. With home-like hospitality and an eagerness to serve the elderly, this Asian care home serves up the best of treatment and management. It is like Home Away from Home. Bhakti Shyama Care Centre has been rated good by CQC.

BHARTIBEN KANTARIA TOWARDS A BRIGHTER FUTURE!

This collection of words were chosen by our most loved, respected and cherished Mother when she penned the tagline for her beloved charity DivyaSeva Foundation and sums up much of her approach to life. Towards indicates movement, dynamism and having a clear sense of duty, purpose and direction. Brighter signifies the importance of divine light which she believes resides in the heart of each individual and is her inspiration and strength. Future as she is a visionary who despite experiencing many hardships doesn’t dwell in the past but looks forward as a fearless optimist. OUR MOTHER Ma is such a simple word yet our world would be incomplete without her. In Hinduism, the mother is considered to be the first Guru - the most exalted and worthy of respect - and for us children this could not ring more true. Our mother, BhartibenKantaria is the very embodiment of qualities such as love, sacrifice and seva and always puts our needs and the family before hers. We grew up in a unique way. Instead of filling our home with material things, our parents filled it with unique people who inspired us, jamvanus (group dinners), overseas family and visiting saints from India. Our home was always open and there was always room for one more at the table, the ‘sanskars’ instilled in us have shaped us to be who we are today. From a young age our mother has guided us on our paths, focussing on the importance of education, encouraging us to find our voice and empowering us to follow our dreams. This support and acceptance gave us the confidence to try new things from working for the United Nations, living abroad in Italy and Chile, creating a range of Hindu games for kids or even live cooking on national TV! She has been a pillar of strength for our father, Bipinbhai Kantaria, helping him with his businesses, social commitments and his active role in the Lions Club of Finchley. They have travelled the world together, met many prominent people and yet remain grounded and humble, continuously supporting ASIAN VOICE & GUJARAT SAMACHAR

each other on their journeys. Our mother is fearless, full of energy and always ready for a challenge, the word ‘No’ doesn’t exist for her and these qualities have come through when we have travelled the world with our parents offering us many unique experiences. Her sense of adventure and her enthusiasm to be outdoors, live a yogic and holistic lifestyle and go for long walks is contagious. As is her ability to connect and relate to people of all ages and walks of life,

or talking negatively, she believes in reciting positive affirmations daily and never lets us ‘give up’, maintaining that you can only find happiness within. The manner in which she lives her life is inspirational, always practising what she preaches. HER INSPIRATION No article about our mother would be complete without mentioning her profound and mystical connection with our most respected Nanaji, Pujya Shri Rambapa. Much of her life has been spent in service of PujyaBapa who refers to her as his ‘spiritual partner’, confidant and pillar of strength. She has been walking in his footsteps, ever inspired by his faith, service, determination and humility. Even as a very young girl she was excited to leave the comfort of home in Uganda and joined PujyaBapa on a voyage by ship to India as it meant she could be in his company and in the company of her Gurudev Sant Shri Hirjibapa through whose grace she attributes many of these challenging feats have been accomplished, along with the divine

everyone from her granddaughter Ashika (with whom she has the most special bond) to the residents of the nearby shelter and our local dustbin men who regularly stop by to collect food and refreshments! The most beautiful gift we have received from our mother has been our faith and spirituality, it has become the very essence of who we are and has been a source of strength on a daily basis. She doesn’t tolerate idle gossip

blessings of her ‘Ramji’. Our mother shared a similar relationship with our Naniji also, Late PujyaKantaba, who was a beacon of light, strength and divinity for our family. STORIES OF SERVICE “Service to the Poor and the Needy is the highest form of Service to the Lord” Pujya Shri Rambapa. As the van stopped on a dusty road in Anand, Gujarat about 20 girls ran towards us shouting ‘Bharti Madam’,

their faces gleaming with joy! In that moment we recognised our mothers purpose, she was destined to impact many lives. The girls surrounded her, showing her how they looked in their new uniforms (donated by her) and filling her in on what had happened since her last visit. There was so much excitement, we realised that it was so rare for them to have someone take an interest in their lives and guide them, she was a role model to them. It is with these very girls in mind and one in particular called Laxmi who inspired our mother to start various projects in Gujarat back in 2005. Laxmi was a young disabled girl full of determination, she was unable to walk so her parents would carry her, sitting on the hot earth she would use her toes to write on a small chalkboard, not allowing anything to deter her from receiving an education. Upon seeing this our mother bought her a wheelchair, spoke to her family and sponsored her education. As the projects expanded in 2008 our mother founded DivyaSeva Foundation (DSF); a UK registered charity committed to empowering underprivileged communities, especially women and girls. Since then the Foundation worked on projects in

the areas of; education, vocational training, medical treatment, community building, spiritual values and empowerment of women. Through DSF ‘Freedom for Girls’ was set up in 2009 which raises awareness of the sanitary situation for girls and young women and proper disposal of used sanitary towels. The girls we met in Anand were the first set to benefit and were provided with the knowledge and skills to make them

On one of her countless trips to Gujarat our mother became acutely aware of the needs in rural India. Many new mothers wrap their babies in the one cloth that they give birth in, this was leading to early infections in new born children which then became fatal. ‘Mother and baby survival kits’ were designed to include essential items and distributed to expectant mothers. It is rare to find someone so compassionate and thoughtful, always looking for ways to help those around her. This attitude has been applied to her many other initiatives such as distributing solar lights in the Dang district, educating 1,000 children, building a community centre with a gaushala, free medical camps and so much more. During the two peaks of the Covid Crisis we faced in the UK, she

also provided around 10,000 meals and water to various NHS hospitals, hospices and care homes in London. Along with rations to various foodbanks and homeless shelters. A Birthday Wish - oxygen and housing for India Our beloved mother’s birthday has become synonymous with seva and every year she finds a new project to start or support. This year in May it was no different, as India struggles to tackle the second wave of Covid 19 our mother spent day and night looking for ways to help those on the ground. In the space of two weeks she sourced and delivered 111 Oxygen cylinders, 2 emergency vehicles, supported a hospital to create a Covid Crisis Centre increasing capacity from 25 to 100 patients and arranged for meals for patients and their families. She is quick to respond to any crisis and is currently helping restore 200 homes for those made homeless by the Gujarat cyclone. Kindly support this urgent disaster relief initiative by visiting www.divyaseva.org, bharti.rambapa@gmail.com. Our mother is truly our role model, the way that she has balanced her spiritual path with her family and social obligations is something we all aspire to, the way she works tirelessly to improve the life of others yet will still find time to advise us when needed or call her granddaughter regularly and ask about her day is beautiful, the way that she repeatedly keeps giving back whether it be to the community or even a complete stranger who needs help is just remarkable…we are sure we have not fully captured or indeed comprehended our mother’s greatness, divinity or largesse but even from our limited understanding we can safely say that she is not only our inspiration...she is our Hero.

LESSONS LEARNED FROM MY MOTHER - SHANTABEN J PATEL

Soon after my father passed away after suffering a heart attack in Hemel Hempstead, my mother and aunty came to stay with me. Both my mother and aunty were followers of SantramMahraj of SantramMandir of Nadiad. My mother genuinely respected all faiths as she had realised the truth that there is truly only one God and that God resides in the heart of each one of us. This kind of togetherness was her quality of seeing the world with love and compassion. Her conscience was always clean. They made my home their mandir as they found happiness watching her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren grow. They lived a balanced and successful life while still being devoted to God. The innocence of her grandchildren gave her peace of mind, happiness and soothed her soul too. Her pure energy radiated within our house, making it a loving home. During her stay with us, she never complained about anything. This was very evident during dinnertime. Whenever she needed something from the other end of the table, she would often try and stretch for it instead of asking for help. This would always make me angry because all she

had to do is ask. She always defended herself by saying she did not want to bother anyone. "My mother was born in 1925 in Chansad, Pujya Pramukh Swami Maharaj of BAPS was from Chansad." Every morning, it was a routine for my mother and aunty to do puja while facing Krishna deity. It was not only a mechanical ritual but was also performed with the purpose of connecting with the Lord Supreme with love. During their free time, they would perform mala (rosary). This helped them to concentrate and focus on the Supreme Lord and did not expect anything in return. On their faces, I could observe that they had complete peace and did not have any worry or tension. Both of them were connected in oneness with the Lord. Performing puja with a pure mind and intention evokes a path of self-realisation that eventually leads to liberation (moksha). Their ego was completely dissolved in bhakti.

ASIAN VOICE & GUJARAT SAMACHAR

The lesson we can learn from this is that the importance of performing puja is to focus and meditate on God to cleanse our minds and increase the power of soul energy. This was a discovery during an inward journey to connect to God. The energy from performing their daily rituals of performing puja was radiating in the house. Their grandchildren and great-grandchildren were making them ecstatic. The atmosphere at home was full of love and harmony. I came to notice that the true power of puja could only be unleashed when doing it out of the love of God and with the purity of good thoughts and actions. My mother used to perform all of these religious rituals, but it was her inner character of detachment from worldly things, kindness, empathy, compassion, and honesty that taught her not to hurt any soul. Her inner soul of purity made her life totally fulfilled. She even regularly did charity without the knowledge of anyone. This was also an awakening for me. During her lifetime, she performed duties of dharma. Whatever she read and heard from the saints and the essence of scriptures, she was able to practice the values of dharma in her life by being able to restrain her senses. She carried out all the actions in her life with devotion and faith in God and eventually attained moksha. Her discoveries benefited me Her practising all her virtues helped me develop my character, which proved to be beneficial in my life. The real test came when my mother handed over all her money to me so I could look after it. She even gave me her full blessing to spend it however I wanted. That moment was very tempting to me. As I realised the completeness of my mother’s life, I managed to guard her wealth for close to 31 years until she passed away in 2019. Eventually, I shared her wealth among her daughter and her four grandchildren. My mother experienced total bliss in her life because her soul was as her pure consciousness. She was able to detach herself from worldly objects by having the right faith. My mother lived a fulfilled life. Manoj Patel Hemel Hempstead

BHANU MAA

AN INSPIRATIONAL ROLE MODEL ADMIRED ACROSS THE WORLD Words fall short when we talk about our beloved Grandmother. Shrimati Pujya Bhanu Maa (known as Maa) has been the epitome of grace, selfless love, and compassion. She was born to Jashodaben and Jeshtarambhai Bhavanjibhai Somaiya, in Karachi on 28 November 1927. She spent the early years of her life in Karachi. In 1946 she got married to Tulsidasbhai Nanjibhai Kakad. After a couple of years in 1948 following the partition, Maa’s father prompted Maa, Dadaji, and Mumma (Maa’s mother) to immediately evacuate Karachi. After settling in Rajkot, Maa was enjoying her family life with her children. Dilip Bhai is the eldest, followed by Tejasbhai, Kokilbhai, Ashokbhai, and the youngest daughter Rupaben. In 1967 Maa decided to dedicate the rest of her life to Pujya Shree Jalaram Bapa. There was a phenomenal connection between Pujya Shree Jalaram Bapa and Maa, where Bapa appeared to her and said ‘Tane Bhojan ni jarur nathi bhajan kar’. At this stage, Maa sacrificed her family duties and material world to devote her life to Bapa with full support from her family. This lead Maa to adopt a more spiritual life and become fully devoted to Jalaram Bapa. Her diet only included fruit and milk. She slept on the floor and only showered with cold water regardless of the weather! She would only wear white saris and stopped using any footwear. In 1970 Pujya Maa set out with the purpose to raise money to build a Jalaram Bapa temple. She would travel all across Saurashtra to do bhajan at people’s houses who would then donate towards the temple. Maa soon made her dream come true and laid the foundation of the first-ever Jalaram Prathna Mandir in the heart of Rajkot. The land for this temple was donated by Maa's Father and the grand opening was done by Shree Pujya Krishnashankar Shastriji. With Pujya Bapa's blessings, Maa continued spreading Bapa’s name all across India and collecting donations. In 1975 she established a Jalaram Prathna Mandir in Mathura. After that she was invited to England by some of her followers, to open a temple here. Maa bravely set out for England with a clear mission in her mind. She was so confident she had Pujya Bapa's blessings, that she pre-ordered idols of Pujya Bapa and Ram Bhagwan before leaving India. In 1979 Maa set up the first Jalaram Prathna Mandir at 197 Mere Road in Leicester. Once the property for this temple was finalized, Maa called her son Tejas bhai to

fly over with the Jalaram Bapa and Ram Bhagwan idols. Once the temple was fully operative, Maa handed over the temple activities to Late Shree Shantilal bhai Thakkar and other devotees, before returning to India. After returning to India, Maa continued to set up another Jalaram Prathna Mandir in Mumbai in 1982 and yet another one in Rajkot in 1984, called Jalaram Matru Mandir. This was not only a place of worship but also a home for any women of any age who were alone in this world. At Jalaram Matru Mandir, these women would be given food and medical care and were free to stay as long as they wished. We truly feel very privileged to have had such an amazing, strong-willed grandmother who has been a very inspirational role model not only Pujya Maa with her daughter-in-law for her own family but Jayshree Tejas Kakad at a satsang to a very wide society ceremony in Mumbai

in India and abroad. At such a young age Maa was fearless and courageous enough to follow her heart and devote it solely to Jalaram Bapa, leaving behind all material things despite being born with a golden spoon. Often on Maa's Birthday, our whole family from across the world would come together in India to celebrate with her. We have all been lucky enough to spend lots of quality time with her. Seeing everyone together made Maa extremely content. We would spend hours talking and she would tell us amazing stories about all the struggles and adventures she went through whilst trying to build all the temples. Even in the later years of her life, Maa was always full of grace and completely dedicated to Jalaram Bapa. Her dedication was so strong it continued through to all the generations, right from her children to grandchildren and even greatgrandchildren! Not only did Maa instil immense religious values in all her children, but she also taught us to be selfless, brave and to never give up! We are truly fortunate and blessed to have had Maa as our dearest Grandmother. She is the foundation of our family and we are who we are today solely because of her blessings. Our grandma, Bhanumaa was a divine soul blessed by Jalaram Bapa Sadly Maa passed away on 28th December 2017 but she lives on in every one of us, as we strive to continue her legacy through the teachings and values which she imbedded in us. She has touched and blessed so many lives in the community, that people still worship her today and live by her teachings. On behalf of Maa's nine grandchildren and seven
