Mahadeo Dalu Ram Loyalka

A Great Gandhian. Arranged many widow-marriages and worked to remove superstitions. Was known as Guruji in his village Pilani (Rajasthan). Born on Mahashivratri, his parents named him Mahadeo. By a coincidence his wife's birth name was Parvati. Yet by another coincidence, this Great Soul passed away also on Mahashivratri, after having given up food and water for many days. He was a close friend and confidante of the great Gandhian, philanthropist and industrialist Shri G. D. Birla.
