Parvatiben stood right next to him as his strength and provided a rocksolid shakti (support) to Ramnikbhai’s efforts and also in the upbringing of the entire family.

Shri Madhavpriya Swami, SGVP: Parvatiben Solanki mother led a successful life. Her heart was full of motherly love and affection. She not only brought up her children and their families, but she also very lovingly nurtured and reared Garavi Gujarat magazine also as one of her children. Parvatiben was someone whose pride was felt not only by the immediate family, but also the entire Gujarati community. I feel the Gujarati family also feels almost the same about the loss on her demise.
