Late Gangaswaroop Bhanumati Veljibhai Shah
31st December 1927 – 5th October 2023 (97).
It is with deep sorrow we announce the peaceful passing of Late Bhanumati Veljibhai Shah (Baa) on Thursday 5th October 2023 in Mumbai.
Baa was the inspirer, influencer and the Dhwaja Danda (Flagpost) of four generations of Haria Parivar. She was the icon of Vatsalya (motherhood & compassion like Jijabai), and righteous Yodha (warrior like Ahalya). Baa would have been extremely proud of the achievements of the successive generations of the Haria Parivar and it’s zeal for promoting, protecting and preserving Hindu & Jain Dharma. She is now the pathfinder, like Dhruva (Pole) Star, for hundreds of families and friends. In the end she was Sewa Vruti, imparting selfless service to humanity.

Moved to Nakuru (Kenya) and London (UK). Recently residing in Mumbai with Shrimati Jayaben Ramnik Haria.
