RESPECTED patron of the Hindu Forum of Britain, Shree Manubhai Mulji Madhwani, is no more.

It was with a great sense of loss that we learned of Shree Manubhai's passing away in the early hours of Tuesday, May 17.

This is a terrible blow, not only to the family, but also to those countless people whose lives he touched and enriched.

Manubhai has always been a great champion of Hindu causes and a shining light for us all.

His was no ordinary light; not only did he support Hindu causes, but actively strove to bring together different faiths to work for common humanity.

The light that has illumined all those who knew him for these many years will illumine for many more years to come. Manubhai will be sorely missed.

To the Hindu Forum of Britain, he offered his advice which was laced with the wealth of experience he had gained from his life journey and he offered support for the various projects we took on.

We pray to almighty Lord to give his family strength, courage and comfort. May it comfort family and friends to know that so many people care and are thinking of you all in these testing times.

May the Lord give his soul eternal peace and place him in His divine abode.

Om shanti! Shanti! Shanti! BHARTI TAILOR Secretary general Hindu Forum Britain
