A Eulogy by Prof Geeta Gandhi Kingdon
Dr lagish Gandhi was so many
things to so mary people To hs
children and prandehitren he was
doting and mosteving and
Serial father and arandlother;
tohis devoted wife he was a
considerate and protective
husband; tohis colleagues, he was
‘generous, just and empowering
‘employe, instilling in them a
Senseo thelr own capaettes and honing thelr talents
through patent nurturing letting them make mistakes,
believing in ther, giving them autonomy and agency,
trusting them. Tai eles, he was Forgiving, chartable
and munfcent. He rarely lsappoited anyone,
Banting everyone thai wishes, and never turning away
Sny sou, He went to every weiing and fami
felebration he was itd to, rom the hummblest
employee tothe highest. He was wise and decering in
i puble dealings, While beng an excelent jucge of
character, with sharp powers of observation, ne
nevertheless hada sn covering eve, evng ering
people seemingly infinite latitude
Dr Jagalsh Gandhi was a steadtas brave-hear when
faced with adversity strong asia, dealing with
Challenges through drawing on dine guidance. He was
A staunch believer in the power of Go's askance in
the face of dificult, beleving that when works
done with a serie motive it draws Goes help to fight
the obstacies Informed by the teachings ofthe Baha
Faith, his understanding was that isimportant to
Follow the teaching of our fath in your life andto
change your conduct nthe lignt of haze teachings,
rather than doing merely the rituals associated with
thot religion. He believed thot ile worship is
meaningless, needs to be replaced by deeds of purity
and a goody personal conduct
Dr Jagdish Gandhi's many qualities ae worthy of
emulation, The mest important ofthese was
detachment from the things ofthis word, eg.
‘detached from money, wealth power, postion, poktcal
ambition Another important quality was hs legendary
humittyand servitude
Dr Gandh’s work consisted ofa very important service
tothe world~an educaton which beyond academic
excellence promotes the cause of world unity. a
pursuit ofthis goal, he organised 20 international
felucotionel events annually to bring cide together
‘rom various counties and different parts of Ind, for

Here'sa short poem I wrote for my father in 2017:
You area candle burning burnin, weeping its if owoy:
but you bara 50 gly
You burn for your aim, the redemption of mankind
You a7 kind to others, unkind to yourself gentle on
others, strict with yourself
You define the very meaning of posson striving,
perseverance, teraely
You are the defntion of focus
You are Arjun intent upon the ee ofthe ied
You are inspiring, encouraging, ever hopeful evergreen
You are the man in Kipling’ “F”
My father's legendary huity dé nt spring fom
"weakness professionali, the ccumstances
deranced ithe was tough and uncompromising
‘A deeply spictual maa, he used to vs rishi munis and
Hind ly paces, and sing Bhajans eat morning
one particularly popular with him being "At we)
2g rh a A war at gH re Te
san a1" After coming across the teachings ofthe
Baha’ Faith (which largely refleced what he already
believed - werd government, peace, service tothe
word; personal integrity: a vrtvous ie) he also drew
Estnance from the Baha’ holy writings. He had
commited many beautful writings to memory and
‘would recite ther nhs talks, which made his speeches
penetrating and impactful He enjoyed beng part of the
Lucknow aha community though he was not abeto
‘ve much time tits routine activities.
DeGandhi vas family-oriented man in ways that most
people wouldnt know Because his outward visage Was
‘apparently 0 work focused, the farm focus wat
‘obscured, When his ehidren were youne, he took them

‘cared deeply for their quality of education. He would
talk tos young children about werld government to
the amusement of his we, who judges tht we the
children were too young to understand sich concepts,
be worked nar for, and eisplayed great tolerance fer,
the sake of fami unity,
‘We al take comfort rom the prayers and easings
