Bapaji and Me: A Memoir of India and Beyond - 4454

Dr. Sadhna Bhatia’s grandfather, known as Bapaji, started giving her inspiring teachings at bedtime from the earliest time she can remember. Bapaji emphasized the strength of willpower to triumph over both the minor and major issues in one’s life. He ingrained in young Sadhna that to become a doctor was a noble profession. Bapaji was a hundred years ahead of his time in his thinking that being a female made her in no way inferior; by doing so, he granted her the gift of self-confidence that illuminated her path. Bapaji and Me tells the story of Sadhna’s childhood in India receiving the endless love and caring of not only her grandfather but other grandparents, parents, uncles, and aunts in an extended family under one roof. When Bapaji passed away shortly before her high school graduation, he had laid the foundation for her future. Sadhna went on to become a doctor and move to the United States where she was both the first female and a foreign resident on staff in a suburban Boston hospital. Having to work extra hard to gain approval, she was nonetheless elected chairperson of the anesthesia department, and worked in the field for forty years. Bapaji mentored and trained not only his granddaughter but also many young relatives and friends who later would create successful lives. Their children and grandchildren are today well-established all over the world. By doing small deeds, this one man changed the lives of thousands of people who had the good karma to receive his blessings.
