Worth reading is the book 'PROFILES OF PARUL published about his other daughter Parul - the genius daughter of Prof. Toliya was born on 31st December 1961 at Amreli. We find in this book Parul's childhood, development of her different intellectual abilities, leaning towards Art and Religion and her achievements in the fields of Music and Journalism etc., As a sublime Soul, Parui went off spreading her fragrance everywhere. She met a tragic premature death in Bangalore being hit in wrong side dashing Motor Bus accident while crossing the road on 28th August 1988. Details of her life and Articles of Tributes are given in the book. These consist of writings of Pandit Ravishankar and Shri Kantilal Parikh titled 'Parul - A Serence Soul', which give a beautiful account of the rare achievements of the departed soul in the fields of Art and Religion. Parul was encompassing the entire nearby life into the sacred tie of divine love. Her love and feelings of equality were spreaded not only towards the human beings, but also towards entire world including birds and animals. Unusual was the spread of her Sublime Spirit. The whole picture of Parul's soul emerging out of the complete Book is worthrespect-producing. What a fate of destiny that this flower was crushed at the moment when it was growing into perfection! The Photographs given in the book exactly erect the 27 years' lifespan and progress of a person. The reader's eye sheds tears after reading the book. May God bestow eternal peace upon that Elevated Soul!
'Vardhaman Bharati' is doing the work of the spread of culture even being away from Gujarat and this being useful for the masses and Society, is highly commendable.
