Blessings of ever mighty were
once again merciful on the family of Sadhu T L Vaswani,
the great spiritualist, visionary educationist,
influencing speaker, master of language and above all a
true humatarian ever born in Sindhi Community.
This was the day of 26th November in the year 1915, when
truly religious and God loving couple Krishnadevi and
Pahilajrai Vaswani were blessed with girl child. Strong
will power of mother and father's love for truth and
sympathy for the poor were started influencing the
childhood of girl and spiritual teachings of uncle Sadhu T
L Vaswani has made her so strong, as she grow and become
known to world as Dadi Haridevi Vaswani. Childhood of the
girl can be narrated as a face craved with smile which
often get wet with tears on observing suffering humanity
reflecting the tender heart she have. Her schooling
started at St. Josephs Convent, Karachi and this was her
exceptional intelligence visible in spoken English and
forced her teachers to call her for reciting poems. At the
tender age of 14 she last her physical father and uncle
Sadhu Vaswani started taking care of her. She become
famous as "Sindhi Scholar " after being the topper girl
candidate in Hyderabad at schooling examination.
Aiming to become a doctor to serve humanity she took
admission at D.J. Sindh College with Biology but as her
tender heart doesn't allow to harm any God creation and
for being doctor she has to do dissection of various
animals like earthworm, frog etc. so instead of going for
the dream profession she chose to acquire B.Sc. degree.
By the time she complete her graduation, Sadhu Vaswani
started Mira Moment for educating girls and she started
working as First Assistant at the P.P.C.M. Girls School at
Sakhar and afterward as the Headmistress of Mira school
Hyderabad. This was hard to believe for staff and student
to have such young school head but soon her administrative
skills and affectionate behaviour made her popular as "Dadi"
elder sisters among the students and staff members.
After the partition of the country, Mira moment restarted
with a school at Pune. This time instead of working for
school administration she preferred to work for Sadhu
Vaswani Mission and spreading message of her religious
guide and mentor to different parts of the world and
people from different walk of life. For the purpose she
traveled various cities in the country and abroad. She
also started to express her anguish and sorrow, generated
from looking at suffering living world, through her
writing abilities and excellence. Her first book "A Saint
of Our Times” was a pictorial biography of the childhood
years of Sadhu Vaswani. she went to write many books in
English and Sindhi including full fledged biography of
Sadhu T. L. Vaswani in English, which is looked as an
encyclopedic work by many famous critics.
Sadhu Vaswani left the mortal world on January 16, 1966
and this happening proved a reason of change in her, She
started Bal Kunj and used to spent more and more time with
kids. Her fascinating smile, divine glow filled face and
simple life were the prime charming attractions for
children and she got a new name "Guru Ma" for her. People
who spent time with her in those days recall her often
spoken words “Make your lives beautiful. Let in the light
of love and service in your lives.” and “I wonder how
people have the time to hate when life is even too short
to love!”. She completed journey of her physical body on
June 13, 2007, the day when humanity lost a prophet of
love, Sadhu Vaswani Mission lost a very strong pillar and
above all thousands of children lost their "Guru Ma". |
