PREFACE
PARUL, our super-talented, and unusual eldest daughter, silently entered into our life like an overflow of luminary light, enlighting "everything" and lifted all of a sudden when in her blooming youth, leaving behind a void difficult to fill.
Destiny snatched her away from us in a road-crossing accident and that too during my absence from India when I was on foreign soil! All our family members, especially our brave second daughter Dr. Kum. Vandana, had to bear this rude shock unexpectedly !!

Well, Paramgurus the Great Masters SRIMAD RAJCHANDRAJI and YOGINDRA YUGPRADHAN SRI SAHAJANANDGHANJI from their distant spiritual abodes and our most revered MATAJI, the Holy Mother of Hampi from her solitary cave and also our numerous relatives and friends like Sri Kantilal Parikh (whose introduction follows this one), have all graceously come to our rescue and have stood by us throughout these two years, directly and indirectly. No words of gratitudes and thanks are capable enough of expressing our Inner most salutations to them!
Now, amidst the world, amidst the loving family inmates and friends, amidst the people at large, everything, nodoubt, goes on as usual, but this home which was shining with serene Parul's Divine Smiles, vibrating with her Songs and Sitar and was blessed with her Silence, has become completely barren and bereft of her TOTAL existence, inspite of her subtle spiritual presence with us......! Inspite of abovementioned Great Masters' constant Grace, we have lost so much with the passing away of dear Parul that no amount of kindness or consolation has been able to completely comfort us and heal our wounds ... !!!
More than her physical existance, we long to have a glimpse of her spiritual self.
This small book attempts to reflect the same through an picture of Parul's illustrous life as seen from various angles. May someone's inner self be awakened through this! We are thankful to ALL concerned who have made it possible to bringout these Profiles. of Parul for the benefit of the public especially to Col. Bhagra of Sri Sai Printers & Others.
