That day of 21-8-1906, was a Sunday on earth and a ‘No Sunday' on the sky! Since Saturday night, the dark rainy clouds had occupied the entire portion of the heaven and
had made the sun lose its ever domination and visibility on the firmament, marking the 'No Sunday'. On earth, along with the arrival of the week's holiday, it was the moment when the sun of the era, the Yugdivakar, was expected to put his first look to the world and was going to deliver the ultimatum to the intact negativities of this world, that the illuminator of people's ignorance was born and would eradicate people's internal troubles and hardships through his stirring discourses!
From the early dawn, the clouds had started pouring heavily, and why shouldn't they? As even the nature would be overjoyed acknowledging the birth of such personality! The cool-pleasant breeze could be felt throughout Vadhwaan; obviously to pass the message that the sacred period related to the legend's birth had arrived who'd pacify the people's passions through his inspiring principles & teachings! At 8.15pm, the divine soul treasured by Chabalben from the last few months took the first breath of fresh air on the earth
and there were the family members dancing with joy the moment they received the cherishing news of the child's birth! Practically it wasn't the arrival of the very first progeny of the family, but no one knows why...interestingly, the joy which was experienced this time around was much more superior to the birth of previous children. The charm of this newborn baby was making the people get attracted towards him.
Hirachandbhai and Chabalben named their second kid as 'Bhaichand'. Later on, Chabalben gave birth to another male - child and his name was Vrajlal. So, Bhaichand had 2 brothers, elder Dhirajlal and younger Vrajlal! They started growing up with each other. Bhaichand especially had a special love for his god and the religious activities. He would perform the devotion for 2-3 hours daily in the temple, would observe penances on important days and would carry out the compassionate activities at regular intervals...!
Looking upon his pious nature, Chabalben too would cast the eyes upon Bhaichand for nurturing the good religious virtues and teaching him the lessons of humanity and brotherhood. The life of Bhaichand was a life of benevolence, where he kept on gracing the creatures through his elocution and ethics, but his own life commenced with a very sad incident, inform of his father's death. Let's know what happen with him...
