Jayantibhai Parekh

Adarniya Vasuben, Kanaiya, Darshana, Nutan, Gurinder, Maithili, Anokhi Saadar Pranaam & Om Shanti One month has gone by since Swargast Shri Jayantibhai, the Mercurial Human Being, passed away in a manner perhaps he alone wanted to. Causing no pain through physical care imposition on others, or spiritual imbalance to anyone. This sums up his life. He only lived for others, not himself, following the famous selfless Sanskrit dictum, "SEWA Hi Adhikaar Hey Mera" - my only Right is to SERVE; and "TUHI MEY Nahi" - Only You Not I". This was his personality. Unassuming, humble and always asking about the welfare of others. His life dotted around caring for his darling granddaughters, and all of you. He was the centre of care of his larger family. Everyone looked upon him as the senior inspirer, the MARG DARSHAK or the one who shines light on the correct path to follow. For the larger community, he was the perfect gentleman. Soft spoken, and yet ever ready to give good advice. I first met him at the time of Darshana & Kanaiya's engagement. He so warmly greeted Kundan and I. Unfortunately Ottambhai passed away shortly after. The wedding date was agreed in August 1999 and Shri Jayantibhai played the role of father to both. It was inspiring the way he took the responsibility so well, yet remained quiet but with the authority. I was to assist the main Purohit Shri Akhandadi Dasji. Shri Jayantibhai first thought I was joking but later on commented wholeheartedly the little knowledge I had for the Vivaaha Sanskaar. He never missed an opportunity to encourage others so that they would do better. He would also always ask me about the political scene unfolding everyday around the world, and in particular in India. He was very knowledgeable about these matters. He will forever remain the Pole Star, shining his guiding light on all of you and us. His fragrance will remain around you eternally. May Bhagwan Shree Parbrahman grant his Divya Aatma eternal Shanti and a place of Abode at His Lotus Feet. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti: Hasmukh Velji Shah

I dispensed Jayantibhai's medicines regularly, and I got to know him quite well. A caring family man, highly respected in the community, warm and kind. He was disciplined, health conscious, socially active with great life values. We will all miss him immensely.

I will was always treasure the lovely memories of Jayanti Mama... especially during my wedding time he was there as Mama in all the ceremonial events. May Mama’s soul rest in peace Anilkumar, Sheila, Harnil & Ria. Om Shanti Shanti.

I first met Late Shri Jayantibhai back in 1976/77. I would like to mention that he has left one big big legacy for me. I first noticed "AUM" on his car number plate and then decided to have the same on my own cars. I am pleased to say both cars have "AUM" number plates. As he had "AUM", it proved that the religion was more important to him then his own initials on the number plate, meaning no ego. Thus he is my source of inspiration and credit goes to him. May his soul rest in peace. "AUM"

To my dearest mama I know I am very lucky to have been a part of your life as not many nieces get to feel the love and devotion that you always showed to me. I feel privileged to say you were my mama and you are irreplaceable. I get my strength knowing that I have always listened to your advice and have learnt so much of your wisdom. Although life without you will never be the same, I am glad that I had 52 years of our special bond I know as my mama you will worry for our mami but please be assured she is in safe hands with us Our mami is our strength now, however you will live in our hearts forever and always I will miss your voice especially when you used to call me ‘Mitwa’ You always said it so sweet and lovingly Please know mami Ken Darshana Gurinderjit Nutan Maithili Anokhi, we are always here for you Aum Shanti Meetu

Dearest Bhabhi, Kanaiya, Darshana, Nutan, Gurinder, Maithali and Anoki.No words can express the sorrow we feel for your loss.We Pray that through our Hindu Scriptures and Pranayam practices you all find strength and comfort to cope. I would just like to say even though I am one of many second cousins to Jayantibhai he always made me feel special,like I was his own sister. His gentleman qualities, nonjudgemental character and the love he had for all his family and friends truly made him a remarkable human being. I have always looked up to him and you bhabhi as role models.Jayantibhai will always have a place our heart ❤️ૐShanti
