Is there a divine power that rules the world? Is there God? Is there an energy that we must fear or worship? So many questions loom in the minds of young people today. The world is made up of believers and non-believers and there is often a debate around these topics. However, believers often do a lot to express their love towards God. They are varied in their way of expressing their love. Some ways include praying, serving others, spreading knowledge about religious scriptures, meditating, or just believing. None of these is better than the others and everyone has unique beliefs. Take for instance industrialist Mr Ramesh Gowani. He believes that serving other humans, helping them follow their faith and doing what God would want you to do is the right way of loving God.
Sounds confusing?
The real estate tycoon Mr Ramesh Gowani is revered for his work of building a multitude of temples and dharamshalas for devotees. During the pandemic, these places of worship acted as roofs over the heads of people who were stranded out of their homes due to the lockdown. He also organizes food distribution drives in these places and helps those struggling with hunger. Regular religious ceremonies, discussions about God and socialization among devotees characterize these divine establishments.
We recently talked to Mr Gowani and he said that religion has been an integral part of growing up for him. His mother always taught him and his siblings about God and how God wants his devotees to be benevolent. This formed the basis of Mr Gowani’s approach in life. He says that all this comes naturally to him and doesn’t want to flaunt or publicize his acts of kindness and philanthropy.
Mr Gowani is behind the development of Mohankheda Jain mandir, Jain mandir, Mahalaxmi Mumbai, Jain mandir, Mulund, Mumbai, Jain Mandir, Nepean Sea road, Mumbai. He has received immense praise and love for his work in this direction. He is also actively involved with Kamala Ankibai Ghamandiram Gowani trust that his wife runs. The multitude of efforts at the trust include medical camps, vaccination drives, solidarity walks, efforts for widows of defense personnel, efforts for transgenders, etc.
It is rare to come across someone like Mr Ramesh Gowani who has proven his expertise in business and is now using his success to help others. We wish him luck in his future endeavours and hope that god gives him a lot more for his selfless service.
