Harshad, Niranjan, Sharad, etc. all of whom loved this silent, serene, Smiling Sister too much, hardly knowing that her smiles were not going to last long.........
THE FLOWER BLOOMED BUT............ Parul's younger sister Chi. Vandana, after her N.D. studies at Hyd'bad, had joined I. N. Y. S. B'lore as a Research Medical Officer. I was visiting abroad every one or two years for my three fold programmes of Music, Meditation and Discourses.
Before and after completion of her Post-Graduate Dip. in Journalism Exam. in April 1988, Parul had concentrated on her acclamationful journalistic & philosophical research-work pertaining writings and our literary writings & editings of 'JAINISM ABROAD" etc, on one hand and Central Govt. Officers' Hindi Teaching on the other. Moreover, she labouriously penned and recorded in her own soul-stirring, everlasting sweet voice the following prestigeous new recordings of ours : - MAHAVIR DARSHAN (Eng.), RATNAKAR PACHISI (Hin), MERI BHAVANA, JAIN RAS GARBA, RAS GARBA-NOOTAN PURATAN, GRAMYA JEEVAN, etc,
Her participation in two of our B'lore T.V. telecasts, one Radio Feature broadcast and several live stage performances all over India, had created magical spell over the audiences every where through her commenting and singing !
Her presentation of the whole of our Spe 1987 MAHAVIR JAYANTI Concert at B'lore Town Hall brought unexpected success and audience appreciation, video recording of which is her living testimony and memory.
Her English Version Script with her commentary of cur abovereferred MAHAVIR DARSHAN LP. became a hit Audio (and in process Video) production.
I was wonderstruck at her boundless zeal of continuously writing-right from early morning till ten at night restlessly, of course, without sacrificing her usual daily practice of Yogasanas,
