Jethalal S Zaveri Tribute.  Messages to Shri Jethalal S. Zaveri.  Also called Jethabhai or Pappaji.  'Shrandhajali':

17 April 1911 - 17 November 1993.

Pappajee was a great exceptional personality. A technocrat saint.

This combination is rare on the earth. My tributes to his memory.

Mangal Bhavna
From: Acharya Tulsi and (the then Youvacharya) Mahapragya
Rajaldesar: 19 October 1993

We see Jethabhai as 'Adhyatma Vibhushan'. This 'Anshan' (Fast-unto-death) will set a new example for everybody.


From Jain Center of Northern California, USA
Harilal Shah

20 October 1993

Respected Shri Jethabhai,

We pay tribute to your adventure! Your will power! Your power of renouncement! Nobody will be able to forget your spiritual services. People will remember for many generations, your dedication by writing books to spread Preksha Meditation. Especially Shraman Sthitpragyji and Shrutpragayji will never forget your teachings. They remember that you have spared your valuable time to increase their spiritual knowledge and therefore they are they are obliged.


 

MID DAY, Bombay: 18 November 1993

Jethalal Zaveri renounced his body on Tuesday night. He died peacefully, mentally alert till the end. He continued with his ritual that one must remain detached in life. Not surprising words from a man who remained detached in death.

From Muni Mahendra Kumar [Son]
7 October 1993

You have shed light on the scientific aspect of PREKSHA MEDITATION and this will be written in golden letters in the history. Your dedicated service to Jain Sashan is unparallel. It is a matter of pride for the entire family that you are given award of Tatvagna Shravaka by Acharya Tulsi and the highest ever award of Samaj Bhushan by Terapanth Mahasabha.


From Rakesh Muni,
October 1993
Jaipur

Anand Shrawak was one of the ten main Shrawaks of Bhagavan Mahaveer. I think Jethabhai Zaveri is Anand Shrawak of recent times.


The Metropolis, Bombay, 19 November 1993

The End when it came for Jethabhai Zaveri was peaceful. Exactly 41 days after he decided to go on Samthara, taking no food, he died at 1.25 a.m. on 17 November 93. More than 2500 people accompanied the Palkhi on its triumphant procession and its final journey to the crematorium in Sion, Bombay. Nowhere was there any expression of sorrow, rather it was all quiet joy.
 

From Mr. J. R. Danani
Managing Director
Bharat Bijlee Ltd.


Mr. Zaveri was a man of many attributes, scientific knowledge, objectivity, a practical approach. A rare combination of supreme self-confidence and humility. An amazing ability to remain completely calm in the face of catastrophes or provocations, entrepreneurship and courage. A philosophical and studious bent of mind.

First, his deep knowledge of and interesting Metaphysics, this I believe emanated from his scientific bent of mind and his training at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. He delved deeply into content of metaphysics in Jainism, lectured, and wrote treatises on this subject. This also perhaps led him to the study, practice, and teaching of meditation.

His sense of humor. He could find the potential for humor in most situations or at times even created such situations.

Mr. Zaveri had a fine ability to give the appropriate value and importance to the various aspects that constitute the life even life itself as is shown by his last act on this earth.


  • Delhi Doordarsahn made a TV serial on Jethabhai:

    On Preksha System of Meditation along with Muni Mahedra Kumarji (his son) explaining technique of Kayotsarga and Preksha Dhyan in Hindi. There was nationwide mourning telecast on Four Sundays in 1984.
