"In a small town Savar-Kundla, Gujarat state, India there was a family with five sons and three daughters. Father was a vegetable merchant and they were happy making a living. One of the son was different. He woke up earlier than anyone else, walk to the river, took bath in river water, wash his own clothes and was ready for the day.  This is son was a VISIONARY. After he graduated from High School, he saw no future in the business father was in. He left the small town for a Big city Mumbai.
He started working for a whole sale cloth dealer, and his younger brother graduated from the same High School and started to work for a cloth mill. This brother was not satisfied with his life either and wanted to go overseas. This was an unrealistic goal due to the family's financial situation. However, brother working for a big firm was very OPTIMISTIC and COMMITTED to the family. He asked his employer to sponsor his brother so that he can get a visa for USA. After his graduation from a college in USA, younger brother got a job and finally he, his older brother and his family are all settled in USA.
Older brother was very DISCIPLINED and truly a RELIGIOUS person. Every morning, he spent long hours praying and performing yoga. He believed that our body is a holy place for God and we should not contaminate by eating food either with toxic odor such as garlic or onion and keep it pure, no alcohol. Even with little money that he had, he helped people in India who were less fortunate than he was. His brother spent many hours discussing various aspects of life and seeking advice from his brother.
This is story of my older brother RATILAL MADHVANI, dedicated to his family, very religious and truly a Gentleman who passed away on January 20, 2017 at an age of 91 and I miss him very much. I have lost my navigator who guide the ship I am sailing, now without a navigation.
He is survived by his wife, sons, daughters, granddaughters and grandsons as well as great grandson and they all miss him very much and pray for his place in heaven with God."
