Namaste Bhabi, Kanaiya, Dharsana, Nutan & Gurinder.
I would like to offer my deepest condolences for your sad loss.
My thoughts are from the perspective of being a fellow nephew of the Kachholi Family, the birth and childhood place of Jayantibhai.
I became aware from very early that Jayantibhai held a very special place in the hearts of the Kachholi Family. As I reflect, my observations are based on the great fondness with which my Baa, Mama’s and Masi’s would often speak off him. His early life in Kachholi and how he came to England and thereafter his achievements of which they were all very proud off.
He always reciprocated his love for them at every opportunity and took interest in their wellbeing. Indeed, as recently as last Autumn before their trip to Hong Kong, Jayantibhai and Bhabi visited my Baa following her spell in hospital after a fall.
I was also acutely aware of Jayanti Bhai’s spirituality and yearning for more knowledge. I recall a time where we coincidently met at a seminar presented by National Council of Hindu Temples. And yes, Jayantibhai was sat as close as possible to the front, I believe the second row.
Then later, thanks to Nutan, Rajeshri and I also attended the Gita Life classes at Walsall Mandir.
I was both humbled and inspired by the presence of Jayantibhai at these session’s which were at 10am on a Sunday morning, for Him and Bhabi the other side of town, and at the height of winter.
I would like to close by reciting a short verse from Bhagavad Gita Chapter 8 Verse 5:
“And those whoever, at the time of death, quits his body, remembering Me alone, at once attains My nature. Of this there is no doubt.” {BG 8.5}
