A young
journalist, Lalit Khambhayata, their Senior
Sub-editor, traversed over 300 kms in dense Gir
forest on a motorbike
to trace the descendants of the fearless 14-year
girl Heerbai
Chaaran,
who, by her daring act of facing a ferocious lion
single-handedly,
inspired Meghani to spontaneously pen out his epic
poem
Chaaran Kanya.

A
special 30-minute programme
based on
Sorathee Santavaanee,
his last book in which he edited 104 of the
Bhajans
(devotional songs)
collected by him
as he moved places researching
folklore,
was telecast by Akashwani
(All India Radio) / Rajkot
on his death anniversary on March 9, 2010. |

|
1947 |
|
A
feature of the programme was that parts of some
of these
Bhajans as sung by noted
Bhajan-singers,
a fast-vanishing species, were rendered as
samples.
The event was well received by the listeners.
