Pune, July 12
Spiritual leader Dada JP Vaswani, head of the Sadhu Vaswani Mission, died on Thursday due to old age-related ailments, a mission member said. He was 99.
Born in Pakistan’s Hyderabad city in a Sindhi family, Dada Vaswani, as he was popularly known, was the head of the Pune-based Sadhu Vaswani Mission, a non-profit organisation involved in social work and charity. The organisation runs educational institutions and hospitals in the city.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had addressed the spiritual leader’s 99th birthday celebrations last year through a video link. In May this year, President Ram Nath Kovind had visited the mission to inaugurate the Sadhu Vaswani International School.
Acclaimed as a humanitarian, philosopher, educator, and non-sectarian spiritual leader, Dada Vaswani had captivated the hearts of millions of people worldwide. — PTI
