Dr. Madhusudan (Madhubhai) Jhaveri passed away on January 17, 2025.

Madhubhai was in ill health for quite some time. He was in late eighties. 

He leaves behind wife Pallavibahen, daughters Shruti, Mona and her husband Janak and grandchildren.

Madhubhai was one of the pioneers of VHPA, having been associated with it since its inception. He also served as a President of VHPA and was instrumental in success of many of VHPA's conferences and Youth camps. He was a prolific writer and a poet of high caliber having composed poems in Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi, English and Sanskrit. Madhubhai was a sought-after speaker and it was a sight to see spellbound audiences as he spoke forcefully and with conviction.

Madhubhai had a Ph.D. In structural engineering and he was a Professor Emeritus at UMass Dartmouth, MA.

So many of us learnt the ropes of VHPA and its vision, how to work with diverse groups and how to resolve conflicts at the feet of Madhubhai.

Madhubhai's seminal works are his two books (in Hindi) Shabda Bharati and Gaurav Bharati published by VHPA. 

May Ishwara grant sadgati to his Atma on its onward journey, and courage and patience to the family go through this difficult period.

Condolences may be sent to Pallavibahen on WhatsApp at  +1 (508) 369-5317 or <jhaverip@hotmail.com>.
