Thakorfua is the jolliest person I have ever seen in my life. His life was not as easy as lot of people might have thought of. He did face a lot of challenges/obstacles in his life, but he still survived, overcame all the challenges, and came out as a winner. Finally, he got the chance to enjoy the rest of his life in the states. I truly salute and bow down to this wonderful gentleman. You will always be remembered Fua.

Dada was my biggest inspiration and my biggest motivator. He has always been there for me for as long as I can remember. I still remember how he would buy story books whenever he went to India and would read bedtime stories to me and my brother. He was an avid reader and would take me and my brother to the library when we were young. I would see him finish reading the entire book in one or two days, and he would always encourage us to read and write. He was such an integral part of our life. He would call every day to ask what we did and what we ate. Every Saturday, he asked about my mother’s diabetes and my father’s blood pressure. I am going to miss those calls. I am going to miss him so much. Jai Swaminarayan.

It is impossible to express Papa’s dedication and role in our life in few words. Papa has been our greatest support for us 3 sisters. He has been there for us at all stages of life. He was there for us after our mother passed away and then few years later when our brother, Maulesh, passed away. Papa has been there for us, not only as a father, but also as a mother, friend and a guru. He was our backbone and has raised us to face any circumstance with courage and fearlessly. Papa fuelled our courage with positive thoughts and energy.

BHARAT AND PANNA PATHAK Thakor fuva, He was good friend, philosopher and Guide to our family. All age groups people feeling comffortable with him. He used to address the issue with great understanding, and patience. He was the master of all fields legal, political, social and spiritual. He had 18 volumes of 18 chapter on Gita with his hand written summary on each chapter. Fuva was always available in crisis, giving us best guidance to come out of the situation. Fuva was very courageous to take a side of the truth. For justice fighting till end of life. Never given up. My father always said he was the ocean of power and strength. We are really inspired by his life. May God put the soul in external peace and give strength to his family to face the situation.

Jai SwamiNarayan. Thakor mama was a very loving and friendly personality. Growing up in India, I have seen him active in many social meetings of our samaj. I have also seen him very active in Sokhada Mandir. When and where ever I met him, he was full of energy with a welcoming smile. I remember a time in Baroda, when he took me to the court for a case hearing. Our condolences to the family members. May the Lord give strength to them to bear this huge loss. Om Shaanti.

We in the family always remember Fua as a great motivator and charming positive personality. His vision to see the relation as a great friendship and relative as a good friend always inspired us to see everyone very positively. Your friendship with dada (Mr. Natwarlal Pathak) and talks between them as a friend (not as a brother-in-law) was always joyful for us. Our sweet memories of spending time with you in our childhood at Padra is one of the best Diamond in the treasure of our memories. Thank you very much for being there in each phase of our life as a mentor, motivator, guide. Our lives go on without you, but nothing is the same. We have to hide our heartache When someone speaks your name. You did so many things for us. Your heart was kind and true and when we needed someone, we could always count on you. These special years will not return When we are all together, but with the love in our hearts You walk with us forever. May you get the best place in the heaven and your soul rest in peace.

Some people come in your life for a short time but they leave their mark forever, Dada was one of them for me. I wished my grandparents would be able attend my wedding and when I learned that Dada was going to make it to my wedding, I was more than grateful. There is no blessing that is greater to me than to be able to share the biggest moment of my life with him. He made me his daughter, flew all the way out and gave me his blessings himself. He was so happy and enjoying every moment of it. It felt as if grand parents were right there living my day with me through his big smile and happy dance. He brought this light wherever he went and always lived every moment to it's fullest. He was kind and gentle hearted and I am sure he is looking down upon us from heaven. May his soul rest in peace. ❤️

Dada was an amazing, smart, loving, caring, funny, and humble man. He really enjoyed coming to Nirvana everyday. He had a routine every time he came to the center and that would be to greet everyone first with a big smile and laugh. Just a few weeks ago when this pandemic started, Dada came to the center since he missed Nirvana so much. The Nirvana staff and I were so happy to see him. We talked with Dada and joked around with him that day for a while. He really loved Nirvana and all of us that he did not even want to go home that day. Dada will always be remembered by his beautiful smile, his high spirits, and strong will power. He will be in our hearts forever. We were all very blessed to have him apart of our lives. Dada we love you and we will all miss you very much!

Born, brought up and educated in Padra, Gujarat, my dear friend and relative was a prominent volunteer leader in our Nondera Samaj. Padra was a hub of all Nondera activities and he was always in forefront. As a social worker in Padra, he was well liked by the people. Thakorbhai was a truth seeker and truth speaker. Being so active, he was extremely capable of presenting his views very precisely and accurately. He was a never tiring optimist in his work. He looked for good in everyone and found it. His welcoming pleasant smile will remain in our memory for ever. In the later years, he was more involved with Param Pujya Brahmswarup Shree Hariprasad Swamiji of Sokha, Gujarat and Yogi Devine Society in U.S.A. A just and respectful person, Thakorbhai made his place wherever he went. He left us as ninety some years young and left a lot to learn. A loving father and grandfather and my dear friend will be missed physically in this world but will remain in our hearts for ever. May Bhagavan Swaminarayan give strength and courage to his family to bear such a big loss. Sincerely, Bipin and Urmila Shukla

My association with my elder cousin brother Pujya THAKORBHAI PATHAK dates back almost more than 40 years. He was a true dedicated and compassionate social worker who brought so many needy patients to SSG Hospital, BARODA , where I worked and studied as Physician in my early years before coming to USA. I saw him spending hours with them managing and navigating their care so that they can recover from the ailments. Socially, my whole family was very integrated with him and his family. He stood by with us in good times and bad times. His constant presence and guidance during my Mom’s post funeral rituals was very calming. I am grateful to him and We all will miss him forever. My sincere and heartfelt condolences to his family and prayers for his soul. May his soul rest in eternal peace. -HITENDRA UPADHYAYA & FAMILY

My Dada is my biggest motivator and inspiration. Dada has given us invaluable lessons and many, many happy memories which we will cherish for the rest of our lives. He was a visionary and left behind an amazing legacy with his remarkable daughters. When I first immigrated to Canada, he took care of me and my sister, always reading us stories with which he incorporated important life lessons that guide me even now. He has been the light of optimism for me, I still remember him telling me and my sister that you guys will accomplish everything you are hoping for. Through our playful talks of politics he taught me how to be compasionate, to remember that everyone is equal and to be treated as such. He was a great man who taught all of his grandchildren to be good human beings. I know he is here with me, cheering me on and will continue guiding me. Thank You. Jai Swaminarayan. The universe is vast, I am so, so, so lucky that I could call you my Dada.

Dada was an amazing grandpa. He inspired throughout my life. It’s important to remember that in darkness sometimes all you need to remember is a little light. He brought so much light into the lives of those around him. Dada will always be remained in our heart. One of the memory of dada i remember is when I was a little kid he used to drop me off to school in Luna when I was falling a sleep when he was driving and he was holding me when I was falling down. One more memory I remember is when I had to purchased a food coupon and there was a food fair in my school and I didn’t want to attend that fair because I was busy playing cricket dada forcefully took me to that fair and told me not to waste any good money on food. He may be in a better place, losing such a strong figure in life is hardest things many of us will go through. What a good and generous man my dada was. I will never forget the way he smiled the way he loved us with every piece of his heart. Such a strong man will never truly be gone. He was truly an incredible dada full of love sincerity and joy. Thank you.
