Honoring Our Beloved Mentors

Chandrakamal Trust Mentors

Dedicated to Humanity and Compassion

Shri Chandrakantbhai Chimanlal Shah was a very humble gentleman who lived entire life in struggle but always with smiling face. He born on 28th August 1942 in a very small house in Ahmedabad. When he was just six years old, he lost his father and his struggle started. He was the only son to Kamlaben and mother and son were living in the small house at DevsanoPado. There were no source of income to the family but mother Kamlaben worked hard to educate Chandrakantbhai in a society where education was not given much importance. Chandrakantbhai too reciprocate mother with full dedication and remained focus on studies throughout his childhood. With financial support of other relatives, Chandrakantbhai became Civil Engineer from L.D. Engineering College and received job at Water Supply and Sewerage Board, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. Chandrakantbhai worked diligently throughout his career and built remarkable earthquake resistant water tanks, amazing network of water pipes in the drought hit North Gujarat area during 1980s and 1990s. At the same time, he also looked after his family and sow virtues of truth, humanity, and education among his children. He was very much involved in the charitable activities in Limbodara village near Gandhinagar. His work in the development of primary school, medical dispensary, medical hospital and other health related activities are commendable and still remembered by local people. He retired in year 2000 as Chief Engineer but continued his contribution in water supply to State and local municipalities through consultancy. He left us in year 2012 by sudden accident physically but is alive in the hearts of his family and many other people by his always smiling nature… His last words were to continue working to serve society till the last moment…

“Every life has to end one day”. In this world, human life has imaginary pleasure. Everything is temporary in this world but a life which lives with positive virtues spread the fragrance everywhere and becomes ideal for others. Shrimati Kamlaben born in Punjapara Village at Kalol district in 1920. Her father Dahyalal and Parsanben nurtured with positive virtues along with her two brothers and two sisters. Kamlaben was very brave girl and used take difficult tasks easily. She married to Shri Chimanlal at the age of 18 and gave birth to a son, Chandrakant in year 1942. The small family was living life happily but just after few years, Shri Chimanlal expired due to Kidney disease. It was a very sad event for Kamlaben but she did not disheartened and dedicate her life to the growth of little Chandrakant. The growth of Chandrakant was the only goal of her life and she succeed in nurturing Chandrakant with her strong willpower and dedication. Kamlaben remained faithful into Jainism and she did many self-restraint Tapascharya during her life like – Ayambilniauli, Atthai, Attham and many fasts. Her dedication and hard work started reaping fruits to her life. She received very happy family life with Engineer son, humble wife, Doctor Granddaughters and engineer grandson. The great grandmother continued serving society and sowing seeds of positive virtues among her grandchildren. She used to spread great virtues of Mahavir Swami, Gautam Swami, NemRajul, Sthulibadra among all those who come into her contact by way of telling stories. She used to feed birds every day before taking breakfast. She strongly believed in nonviolence and always instilled same characteristic to others. She lived entire life with immense love, affection and sympathy. She succumbed to sudden heart attack late night on 10th September 1993. It was a big loss for entire Shah Family as they lost the great mentor of their life. She still lives in many hearts with all her great virtues. We are very thankful to god to spend few moments of our life with ShrimatiKamlaben and learn big lessons of life.
