Achal Das Bohra (December 23, 1918 – February 17, 2007) was a prominent Indian engineer, academician, author, educator and philanthropist hailing from the town of Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Bohra, affectionately known as "Papaji" and "Bohra Saab", was a leader of the Pushkarna Brahmin community in Rajasthan and a tireless advocate of women's rights and the balance of modernity and traditional Hindu philosophical thought. ==Personal== Bohra was born to Dau Das and Bachu Bohra and was the third of four children. His youngest sister died in childhood and he grew up with his two older sisters, Ashi and Gita, under the care of his father's sister. Bohra was married to Phool Kaur Purohit on April 26, 1934, but did not again meet her until October of that same year on Dashera day. During his childhood, Bohra ran messages for Jai Narayan Vyas, a young freedom fighter and a future Chief Minister of Rajasthan, during the nascent Indian Independence movement. Bohra identified three gurus who guided and heavily influenced him throughout his life—his gyan (knowledge) guru was Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya, the founder of Banaras Hindu University, his karma (action) guru was Jai Narayan Vyas, and his dharma (faith) guru was His Holiness Paramhans Shri 1008 Swami Hari Har Ji Maharaj, founder of the International Federation of Geeta Ashrams. He is survived by five of his eight children, sixteen grandchildren, twenty great-grandchildren, and two great great-grandchildren dispersed across India and the United States. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Achal Das Bohra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
