She was a great soul, and an inspiration. <br /><br />May I just mention in the passing that she was my Grandfather Dodmane Devaru Hegde's elder sister. And that she had completed 100 years before she passed away.<br /><br />She had participated in the famous Salt Satyagraha, and also in Vinobaji's Bhoodan movement. She was also instrumental in securing a good higher education for Sh. Ramakrishna Hegde(with ofcourse, the monetary support of Devaru Hegde); and mentoring him at Wardha. She was also called "Manasaputri" of Shri Vinobaji, and she had lit the pyre of Shri Vinoba during the funeral rites.Aneeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403152196317909263noreply@blogger.com
