When My uncle Moolshankar Met Mahatma Gandhiji, Mahatmajee wrote this note in Moolshankar’s Diary about his sister, Manjula:
“Manjulane barobar olakhun chhun. Ane tene deekareenee jem maarun man haree leedhun chhe. Evaa jo, tame ho, na ho to thana jeva bano ne raho. — Baapunaa aasheervaad.”
Read and interpreted adequately by great Gandhian scholar: Dr. Varshaben Das of Rajhat Gandhi National Museum, New Delhi: “I know Manjula very well; she won my heart as my daughter. If you are like her and NOT like her, then try to be like her and stay that way. ‘ Baapu’s blessings.

Both my uncles, Vajubhai and Moolshankarbhai, and aunt, Manjula (Maya), gave their whole life to Gandhian ideas and moments without seeking any office. They worked directly with the underserved individually; no one knew their work, but thousands of people benefited.

These are from my Uncle Vajukaka, who spent his whole life helping and teaching Myanmar People in the phyapon area. He spent most of His life in Burma (Myanmar). He Never Married and was living alone in Myanmar. When he died in 1995, he left his Personal Diary and some photos with his Neighbors. He told him,” You keep this eternally; someday, my family members will come and pick you up.” I tried in 1998 twice to Go to my Birth country from the USA, but the circumstances did not allow me.
My daughter Anjali must be a Tool or destiny ( Nimit) to bring a treasure for me from Nowhere in 2006. Anjali was 18 years old in 2006 and studied in Singapore; without our direction or instruction, she went for the first time. Still, it was a communist moment, which was very restrictive; therefore, she could not go to my Uncle Vaju Kakas’ hometown, Pyapon.
In 2009, She went again, without letting us know, with her own money, on a very challenging and risky tour to Myanmar. From Rangoon, she had to use a Bus, a boat, a motorbike, and police help (without any communication in English). She finally reached Pyapon to bring me a” Goldmine of info.””” on our family’s historical photos.
When she went on a Myanmar trip, she had yet to learn how she would get there. My daughter Anjali went twice to bring his Diary and some Personal effects; we found some very Rare and Historical photos in his Diary,
