His family remembered him as a healthy and dutiful man who had raised his children and fulfilled his responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>When severe illness led to hospitalization, the family continued to give him the Udi Baba had given him. The account describes the anxiety surrounding Shravan Monday and the family\u2019s effort to care for him with devotion.<\/p>\n<p>The chapter is both a family remembrance and a meditation on how faith, duty, and Baba\u2019s name remained present through the final phase of Jyotindra\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-note\"><strong>Editorial note:<\/strong> This page is a concise paraphrase for web presentation and does not reproduce the complete chapter.
