It is with great regret that we inform the members of our community that our Maa,

Late Gomatiben Nathalal Dhakan of Veraval, India, aged 86 years

very sadly passed away on Sunday 14th January 2007 at 11:30 pm (Indian calendar – Posh Vad Nom-9 2063)

 

He Maa ! Tane pranam – Matrudev Bhav

 

Khusi no khoro ne prem no palav aapje

He Prabhu ! Bhavobhav aajmanu sagpan bandhje.

 

Yaad tari aavshe aankh aansu saarase

'Dikra' kahi have mane kon bolavse.

 

Halardu taru haave  haiu j gaashe

Het badhu mamata nu marathi aghu thashe.

 

Radto balpanma, thatu tu aavshe

Prem thi pampari mane kon samajavshe.

 

Maa tara spandno haave mane jeevadshe

Tari smruti dil no dilasho aapshe.

 

Eeishwar ne maro jara sandesho ponchad je

Darek janma ma mane taru vahal sapadshe

 

Swarg ma besi mane rasto to chindhad je

Dikra ne tyathi tu taarje.

 

Maa tari maya maru aantar bhijavse

Lakho 'shradha suman' tari paase zankha lagse.

 

Jivan ma haave moti khot laagse

Sansar na samandar bharti oat aavshe.

 

Vandan tane 'maa' tane lakho karodo pranam

Tari j aasha bhavobhav taru j ema naam.

 

Tamo cho aane rahesho hamesha saathe ej shradha

Arapan atmana aasu ej suman.

 

Potani kuneh, kabeleeyat aane karyakusharta dwara bahujan heetay

Parmarth pravatima karyarat eva Baa ne pranam

----------------------------------------------------

Tamara swargma aaj pagla thavana

Swargwasio ne badha ne khabar thai gai che

----------------------------------------------------

Yaad rakhvu tamaro swabhav nathi

Tamane bhuli javani mari prakruti nathi

----------------------------------------------------

Taro j parivar putro, putravadhu, potra, potri

He Maa ! Tane pranam – Matrudev Bhav

 

Dear Mother Obeisance to you – Glories to Motherhood

 

Your lap of Happiness and Carriage of Love

Dear Lord for All Ages, please bind us in this Mother Sibling Relationship

 

Memories of you will make my eyes weep

Who will now call out Son and summon me.

 

Your lullabies will now be sung only in my heart

 Motherly love will now distance itself from me.

 

When I cried in Childhood I knew you would always arrive

And with loving cuddles who will now give me assurances and explanations

 

Dear mother your resources will now help me to live

Your wise counsel will now guide my heart

 

Please convey a small message to the Lord for me

To ensure me your love in all my forthcoming births

 

Whilst residing in heaven please guide me on my journeys

And deliver your son, from all the pitfalls here on earth that come my way

 

Mother your love will rain on the dry desert of my soul

Hundred thousand flowers of faith will wilt in your presence

 

Life will now be at a great loss

The tide in the Ocean of Existence will now ebb and flow freely

 

Salutations to you dear mother with millions and billions of my obeisance

 My expectations of you in ages to come should be filled only by you in your name

 

You are there and will remain with us for evermore, that is our faith

The tears of my soul I offer to you as flowers

 

With your own intelligence and unflinching devotion you have helped lots of others

In their service dear mother, I pay my obeisance to you

----------------------------------------------------

Today your footsteps will imprint themselves in the heavens

And all those present therein, already know of your impending arrival.

----------------------------------------------------

Your nature was always to forgive and forget

But to forget you is not in ours.

----------------------------------------------------

Your loving family, Sons, Daughters in Law, Grandsons and Granddaughters

Dear Mother our obeisances to you – Glories to Motherhood
