Shantaben was a loving and kind soul, liked by all who met her.  She touched many lives by her generous spirit, sense of fun and exuberance and, no doubt, her cooking. She was famous for her gajjar no halvo and a keen card player. She was a joyous and social person with many friends and a member of 30-woman strong coffee club. She was involved in Dada Bhagwan and together with her late husband had enrolled many devotees.

Shantaben had an enormous personality and with her commitment and dedication was a great example to, not only her family, but also her community and friends and she will be missed by many people. She always wanted to please everyone she came in contact with.

In these challenging times, we regret there cannot be a Sadri. We would kindly request you to join us for bhajans via Zoom in memory of our beloved Mum/Dadi, the details of which are:
