Audio Cassettes & CDs of this standard were never before seen, in this part of India. Your personal painstaking involvement along with your precious time devotion, deserves high praise." "I take this opportunity to thank you so very much on behalf of Bhagavan Mahavira 2600th Birth Anniversary Celebration Committee for your kind participation in the last Cultural Programme cum Exhibition of Bhagavan Mahavira, being a memorabilia of Jainism at Academy of Fine Arts, Calcutta from 27th of February, 2001 to 5th March 2001." - J.K.NAHAR, Convenor). "... Your participation in the exhibition held in Calcutta gave us a great fillip and encouragement to realise what a man can do and achieve in life with dedication, devotion and involvement I had known about you and your dynamic personality and had also met you before two decades or so. Your visit and our meeting here had only revibrated and renewed our first meeting. I am deeply indebted to you for the two cassettes (DHYAN SANGEET) that you presented to me which I will always preserve as momentoes.......... Kindly convey my regards to Mrs. Toliya who epitomizes great ideals of Indian Womanhood......" (- K.M. LODHA, Ex-Vice Chancellor, Calcutta University).
