good writer and what not, in short, she was everything. It is undoubtedly a very big shock and loss, but she is still alive, by her noble deeds.......... Since I came in your contact, I noted in you as promising youth having surprising genious and I was quite sure, one day either sooner or later, you will be a reknown personality. You had a chance to live with holy saint and well known DHARMA DHURANDHAR Dr. PANDIT SUKHLALJI, you had a fortune to be a student of SHANTI NIKETAN founded by the great universal poet and Vishwa Guru Rabindranth and you could soothe grief promptly. You not only answered, but did the needful for me, which only a STHITA PRAJYA or real JNANI have the courage to face this situation.......... Some celestial souls come on earth, scatter the aroma sweetly around every corner and reach again at the feet of the Lord. Sant JNANESHWAR, SHANKARACHARYA, SRIMAD RAJCHANDRA are several examples as dear' PARUL'. She is still alive and will remain for ever........ Though a Musician, I have studied VEDANTA, UPANISHADA, GEETA, Comparative study of BUDDHA and MAHAVIRA........ Luckily my Jain friend and student came to see me and had a talk about you and I found you highly praised in the "GUJARAT SAMACHAR" which he brought I feel proud that at last I found a reknowned figure like you...... May God go always with you and your family members, Children (as you have stated 'eldest daughter!) and give courage to face the situation you are in and continue the work you have undertaken.............
R.K. KARVE, Musician and our Vocal Music Master, Baroda. "I am really grieved to know from your letter that your beloved eldest daughter Kumari Parul Toliya expired in an unfortunate road accident. Since I had met her several times and heard her music, I had much affection for her. Even at your house at Bangalore, she always received me with a smile. I pray Shri Mahavir Jee to give peace to the departed soul and courage to you to bear this loss."
