JVPD BABA

Apne Dharm Par Chalo. Sabse Prem Karo

Here’s a tale of an extraordinary man who is doing his bit to spread peace, smile and remind us of right path. Amid pollution, noise, traffic, heat and some cases of road rage on the busiest intersection of JVPD, Juhu Circle (Mumbai) this man stands strong with his smile & simple message of peace & harmony.

JVPD BABA’s birth in our virtual / social media world:

Not sure who is he, is he taking this initiative on his own or he is doing it for someone, I think he is from Isckon temple but I may be wrong. Don’t remember how long I have been noticing this man but whenever I did, which is almost all weekdays, I have seen him. Dressed in white dhoti kurta with rosary in his one hand and white placard in other which is painted with message ‘Apne Dharm Par Chalo – Sabse Prem Karo’, the literal English translation would be ‘Follow your righteous duty or virtuous path and love everyone’.

Inspired by him, I decided to update my facebook status to let everyone on my network know about this great act. So wrong of me to consider that I was only one who was noticing him, one of my friend and business contact, Imran too notices him everyday, waiving at people, smiling and spreading the simple but important message of peace & harmony.

The next step was us to name this unknown (not any more) – unsung hero and again Imran’s contribution (he clicked this picture) turned out to be very valuable ‘JVPD BABA’ … between Smiling Baba & JVPD BABA, I thought JVPD BABA will work well (arguable, though it’s fine).

So here’s our JVPD BABA standing at the JVPD signal post every morning trying his best to spread smile and peace in our city.

‘Apne Dharm Par Chalo – Sabse Prem Karo’ that’s all we need to make our life and this world beautiful place to LIVE.

Spread the word & his message with your beautiful smile.

 JVPD BABA ‘JAI HO’
