Late Hariram Shewaram Pardasani, born in Bhiriya, a famous literary village in Sindh had a religious interest since childhood, and gained profound knowledge through his association with the renowned saints in Sindh.

Before joining government service in Sindh in 1927, he worked for six years in the editorial department of Karachi’s renowned English national daily newspaper ‘New Times’, starting as a reporter, then an assistant editor, and then as the editor. During that time, he reported on the work of municipal meetings, speeches by prominent leaders, and various meetings and gatherings, writing complete reports as a representative of the newspaper. After partition of India, he moved to Delhi and continued to serve in the social and educational fields. He served as the Vice President of Sindhi Education Society, New Delhi for several years and became a key pillar of Baba Nebhraj School, Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi.

He distributed homeopathic medicines to the public free of charge and worked towards the welfare of widows and other poor members of society. He was a staunch Vaishnavite and lived a simple life.

When he first published ‘Gita Gyan’ (Sindhi; 1969) he would never have imagined that this book would become so popular that four more editions would be published in Sindhi and after that it would be published in other languages besides Sindhi.
