GOD FAITH AND RELIGION

Devi Subhadra Bisht
Who introduced me to Ramayana, Mahabharata and Bhagavad Gita with particular reference to ‘Karma Yoga’ during my childhood itself . She was married at the age of 15. She was a loving mother and managed her household responsibilities most efficiently till all her children (3 sons & 4 daughters) had settled down in life. She was always very kind to needy people and helped them with alms whenever possible. She had left for her heavenly abode after seeing her great grand children.

Devi Damyanti Bisht
She was strong (mind &spirit), respectful, fearless, popular and always smiling who blessed all and rendered selfless service to the family continuously for sixty long years from mother, father in-law’s days till her last day with grandchildren. Without her unflinching support I could not have pursued my hobby in research, writing and published so many books – details of which are now available on this website: www.chidehradun.com. She will continue to inspire us for all time to come.
