Jai Khardeshwar Mahadev
Jai Varavadi Mataji
By the blessings of Purna Purushottam SwamiNarayan Bhagwan and Aksharbrahm GuruHari Param
Pujya Mahantswami Maharaj our mother and the wife of Sureshchandra Dave, Akhand Saubhagyavati
Mrs. Bhartiben Dave started her journey to Akshardham on May 25, 2024 at 1.30 am with Maharaj-Swami.
She got married to Sureshbhai Dave in December 1961 and is now survived by her husband
Sureshchandra Dave, son Dr. Chandresh Dave, daughter-in-law Dr. Ishita Thakar, daughter Arti Dave,
son-in-law Dr. Kashyap Dave, and grandchildren Devavrat, Jishnu, and Shreya Dave.
Since her birth at Gondal, India on November 26, 1937, she was calm but active, peaceful, and of
Bhakti/devotional nature which was observed till her last breath. She communicated in full consciousnesswith family and friends, focused on devotional chants and SwamiNarayan Mahamantra.
She studied at Shri Nanji Kalidas College, Porbandar, India graduating with Masters of Arts in Gujarati
and Sanskrit. This helped her cultivate the nature of Seva and Bhakti towards her "Lalji Thakorji " whole
life. The study of Gujarati and Sanskrit helped her to read and understand Indian religious scriptures like
Shri Bhagvat Geeta, Srimad Bhagvatam, Vachnamrut, Swami ni Vato easily and thoroughly.
Besides her spirituality she was fond of music, literature and cooking. She was also one of the founders of Samasta Brahm Samaj Mahila Mandal and served in many ways in the capacity of President for many
years. During her tenure of Presidency she conveyed a strong message by her actions how an Indian
woman can be highly educated and still be an ideal wife, mother and friend. She was an ideal teacher by
speaking less but putting more in action, setting an example of a balanced life in the modern age.
Thank you for everything our so loving mother,
Arti and Chandresh
Thank you for everything Grandma,
Devavrat, Jishnu, Shreya
