New Delhi, March 10 (NationPress) In an inspiring act of compassion and sacrifice, Biren Patel, a dedicated volunteer of the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, bestowed the ultimate gift — the gift of life — even in his final moments.
On February 27, Biren Patel experienced a brain stroke and was rushed to BAPS Shastriji Maharaj Hospital for immediate treatment. Following neurosurgery on March 5, his condition showed initial improvement. However, on Saturday, his health unexpectedly declined, and despite the relentless efforts of medical professionals, he was declared brain dead that afternoon.
In the midst of their sorrow, Biren Patel's family — deeply connected to BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha — made a brave decision inspired by Pramukh Swami Maharaj’s profound life motto: "In the joy of others, lies our own."
With incredible strength and selflessness, they opted to donate Biren Patel’s heart, liver, kidneys, and eyes, ultimately saving the lives of six individuals.
His eyes were donated to Sayaji Hospital in Vadodara, restoring sight and hope to two people. His heart, liver, and kidneys were promptly transported to Ahmedabad through a green corridor, ensuring they reached patients in critical need without delay.
Biren Patel’s final act of generosity stands as a testament to his lifelong values of service and compassion. His dedication to BAPS’s humanitarian efforts and his ultimate sacrifice has not only saved lives but also inspired countless others to embrace the spirit of selfless giving.
