and religious institutions of Bangalore like Gujarati Samaj School, the Sindhi Association, various Jain & Gandhian Institutions and Hospitals, Lion's Club, Canara Bank Welfare Society and Srimad Rajchandra Ashram, Hampi, Karnataka -- all of which find an unreplaceble loss in the sudden unexpected and highly tragic death of this noble soul.
During an unusual episode of his late younger Revolutionary brother, a luminous being had mystically narrated about Chandubhai's hidden spiritual soul's characteristics of "BEING INSTRUMENTAL IN UPLIFTING OTHERS RELIGIOUSLY, INSPITE OF HE HIMSELF NOT BEING ABLE TO PERFORM ANY RELIGOUS PRACTICES DUE TO HIS INVOLVEMENT IN FAMILY DUTY & EARNING ACTIVITIES..... EVEN SEEMINGLY BEING AWAY FROM RELIGIOUS PERFORMANCES, HE HAD REACHED NEARER TO SPIRITUAL ATTAINMENTS....."
He had utmost faith and dedication in his Great Spiritual Master Yogindra Yugpradhan Shri Sahajanandaghaji Maharaj, Founder of SRIMAD RAJCHANDRA ASHRAM, HAMPI, who had selected him as The President of the said Ashram through overwhelming unanimous decision of all. The Master always admired his noble qualities of services and Chandubhai always treated own self as a most Fortunate one to have such a Greatly Self-Realized Master to whom he had entirely dedicated his life. A verse of SRIMAD RAJCHANDRAJI'S The ATMASIDDHI SHASHTRA is quite befitting the inner state of fornute soul of Shri Chandubhai:
"PRATYAKSHA SADGURU PRAPTI NO, GANE PARAM UPAKAR.....
The company of the Teacher true, Directly does the greatest good; Soul-seekers all accept this view, Complete obedience understood."
He had abundant dedication to carry on the Great Master's wishes.
Accordingly, he had been instrumental in bringing his learned Devotee Younger Brother Professor from Ahmadabad Gujarat through the help of other Great master Padmabhooshan Dr. PANDIT SUKHLALJI PRAGYA CHAKSHU to Hampi and Bangalore compelling him to leave his Gujarat Vidyapeet his professorship to carryout and fulfill Great plans and whishes of the Great Master at Hampi Hill Ashram. These wishes and plans were of propagating out the Latter's Jewel-like Literature in all languages, of unique Jain University at Hampi and erecting an unusual unique JINALAYA over there. For these last two Gigantic Tasks of creation of JAIN VISHWAVIVIDYALAYA and JAINALAYA Chandubhai tried utmost in small span of time at the feet of the Great Master and Dream of walking in the Footsteps of VASTUPALA & TEJPALA: The Great ARCHITECT-BROTHERS do world famous DELWARA, MT.ABU JINALAYAS. He repeatedly expressed this to the Great Master and his younger Brother Prof. Pratapkumar Toliya, the writer of these lines.
