About The Editor
Shri Rajeshwar ji was born on February 25, 1916 at Jalalpur Kikna, Dist. Jhelum (Now in Pakistan). Не hails from the illustrious family of Baba Kali Kamli Wale (Rishikesh), who happens to be the elder brother of Shri Rajeshwar's grandfather. In 1928, his family shifted to Delhi. In 1936, he graduated in science from Hindu college and stood first in the college. After securing fourth position in the all-India competition, he took up government services. Married in 1941, his was an ideal life with wife Smt. Chandrakanta totally dedicated to his ideals. He resigned from government service in the year 1946 and joined Edwerd Keventers (P) Ltd. as General Manager. When Seth Ramkrishna Dalmia took over as the owner of this concern, Shri Rajeshwar ji, on account of his administrative skills and result oriented performances, became the Executive Director of 13 public undertakings and private limited companies of the Dalmia Group. Shri Rajeshwar ji was very much influenced by the thoughts of well-known and learned Aryasamaji Pt. Ramchandra Dehalvi and Shri Buddh Dev Vidyalankar (Swami Samarpananand) who were known for their reasoning. All this inspired him to work for Hindu Dharma and he resolved to work for persons who had been converted to other religions and tried to bring them back to their original Hindu faith through "Ghar Wapsi". With an aim to make Ghar Wapsi a mass movement, he came in contact with the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. He was president of the Indraprastha Vishwa Hindu Parishad from 1972 to 1993. Since 1971 to his last breath, he served the VHP as its trustee and had also been the Vibhag Sanghchalak of the RSS, South Delhi unit since 1981. His dedicated effort on Ghar Wapsi made the VHP take this up as one of the major issues and appointed Shri Rajeshwar president of this project. When the RSS in 1996 also adopted the Ghar Wapsi project, he said-his goal had been realised. When he was a first year student in 1933, he started the Ghar Wapsi project and given his sound financial status, he appointed four pracharaks for assistance. With his diligent work hundreds of converted Muslims and Christians were brought back to their original Hindu fold. In the year 1991, Shri Rajeshwar ji established the 'Chandrakanta Rajeshwar Dharmarth trust' of his own property so that his goal may be pursued even after his death. He left for his heavenly abode on February 11, 1999.
