Remembering Dadi Sati

May 29 to 31, 2004

Remembering the Wonderful Soul
- Dadi Sati Bhagomal Thadani

     In the memory of Dadi Sati a three day prayer meeting was organized at the Sadhu Vaswani Mission. May 29, 2004 saw the aarambh of the Akhand Path of the Noori Granth.

     May 30, 2004 Dada J. P. Vaswani while praying his tributes to the Dadi Sati said that she was a picture of simplicity, devotion and dedication. Her simplicity could be seen in her daily living – her clothes, food habits etc. She was a loving person who had many friends not only in India , but also overseas. She was ready to serve Sadhu Vaswani doing anything he asked for, at any time. Dada too felt that here was a noble, wonderful and a selfless soul, whose services he could rely fully on.

    Knowing of her devotion to Sadhu Vaswani, Dada Bhagomal Thadani (Dadi Sati's father) left her at the lotus feet of Dada at the tender age of 18. When Dada came to know that she was not even a matriculate, he encouraged her to complete her matriculation.

     At the inception of the Mira Education Movement Sadhu Vaswani felt that Dadi Sati was the right person for the post of the principal of the school. When the need for a teacher arose at the Mira School Dadi Sati obliged. She was the Editor of “Shyam” the first “Patrika” (publication) in Sindhi by the Sadhu Vaswani Mission.

     Despite her very busy schedule, Dadi Sati would personally deliver the patrika to the doors of all the Sindhi families living around. She strongly believed that it was very important to reach Sadhu Vaswani's spiritual teachings to all the possible Sindhis, as Sadhu Vaswani's teachings were the most precious jewels.

What Dadi Sati truly believed in can be summed up as follows :

• Let us work in the spirit of God
• Accept whatever we go through in life as a “prasad” from God.
• Not a single day in one's life should pass without helping others.

     Dada's speech on Dadi Sati was followed by Kirtan and langar (fellowship meals) attended by a large number of devotees at the Sadhu Vaswani Mission.

     The three day programme ended on May 31, 2004 with the Bhog of the Akhand Path.
