Shraddhanjali Sabha at Palitana

– In Loving Memory of Padma Shri Param Pujya Tai Ma

Palitana witnessed a truly unprecedented and deeply moving Shraddhanjali Sabha at the Veerayatan campus, where hearts came together in rare unity to honour the life and legacy of Padma Shri Param Pujya Tai Ma.

In what can only be described as a “never-before” gathering at Palitana, every section of society stood shoulder to shoulder - volunteer groups, the entire Jain samaj, and members of diverse communities. People from all walks of life came forward with one Bhavna: to offer their respects to a soul who touched countless lives.

The Sabha was not merely a formal tribute - it was an experience. A gentle warmth filled the space, as if Tai Ma’s presence was still guiding and embracing everyone. Her vision, her boundless compassion, and her lifelong dedication to humanity were remembered not just in words, but in the emotions reflected on every face.

Many shared how deeply Tai Ma had become a part of their daily lives. Some lovingly expressed, “In our homes, our children remember Tai Ma multiple times a day - ‘Tai Ma would not do this,’ ‘Tai Ma would prefer it this way.’” Such reflections showed how she continues to live in the values of generations. Truly, Tai Ma resides in every heart - of those who met her, and even of those who only knew her through her work.

The gathering was graced by respected leaders and dignitaries, including administrative officials, Members of legislative offices, and representatives from various sectors, alongside leaders from multiple communities. Their presence reflected the far-reaching impact of Tai Ma’s work - beyond any one samaj, beyond boundaries.

Students, teachers, staff, and volunteers participated wholeheartedly, making the Sabha vibrant with sincerity and devotion. Hundreds gathered, united not by obligation, but by deep reverence.

A powerful realisation echoed throughout the Sabha - Tai Ma was not just a figure of a community; she was a guiding light for the nation. Her life stood as a testament to how one individual, with clarity of purpose and compassion in action, can create extraordinary change.

This Shraddhanjali Sabha was not just a remembrance - it was a collective resolve to carry forward her light, her values, and her vision.
