ABHAY & VARSHA KHER'S Son
Chi. Anupam & Sou. Supriya
By the divine grace of Guru-kripa, Chi. Anupam Kher, grandson of P.P. Janardan Swami Kher, received Guru-diksha and the sacred Guru-mantra from his revered grandfather at a very young age. These early blessings laid the foundation of his spiritual journey and continue to guide him through life.
Professionally, Anupam is an Electrical Engineer and Oil & Gas professional with over 16 years of industry experience and is currently based in Lagos, Nigeria. His wife, Supriya Kher, is a Lawyer, Music Teacher, and Certified Music Therapist. Together, they are blessed with two daughters, Ovie Kher (11) and Devika Kher (4), who are currently residing with Supriya in Vadodara, Gujarat.
As a family, they strive to live by the teachings of P.P. Janardan Swami Kher, nurturing a home rooted in simplicity, righteousness, compassion, and respect. They believe in living honestly, never causing harm to others, and always honouring parents and elders. Even while living across different countries, they remain committed to carrying forward his timeless values so that his legacy continues to inspire future generations.
Anupam fondly remembers how P.P. Janardan Swami Kher would travel tirelessly from city to city, guiding and uplifting countless people, yet would always make time for his family. One memory that remains especially close to his heart is from the time he secured his first job. His grandfather was overjoyed and immediately asked Anupam’s father to have a suit stitched for him as a gift a simple yet deeply meaningful expression of his love and pride.
The memory he cherishes most, however, is from the day of his marriage. P.P. Janardan Swami Kher was present to bless the newlyweds. He lovingly seated Anupam and Supriya beside him and shared invaluable guidance on marriage, family life, and righteous living words they continue to treasure and follow to this day. It was their final opportunity to be in his physical presence, as he attained his heavenly abode soon after their wedding. Though he departed from this world, his blessings, teachings, and divine grace remain a constant guiding light in their lives.

Chi. Ritu & Chi. Siddharth
Ritu’s life has been profoundly transformed by the love and blessings of her grandparents, Lt. Maya & Lt. P.P Janardan Swami Kher. “Devi & Swami” Ritu never got to meet her grandmother, but she always felt a deep connection through the stories of her altruism and strength. Ritu is a deeply spiritual person who aspires to live by the values of compassion and kindness taught by her grandfather, who is also her guru.
Her life took a meaningful turn after she began reading ‘Manache Shlok’, following the guidance of her father, P.P Abhay dada Maharaj Kher.
Ritu is engaged and soon to be married to Chi. Siddharth Ashtekar, Son of Sau. Leena and Shri Suhas Ashtekar. He owns a renowned jewellery brand based in Pune, Maharashtra. He upholds the spirit of seva by serving ‘Varkaris’ every year during the ‘Pandharpur Vari’. He also significantly follows teachings of the great ‘Gurucharitra’.
Professionally, Ritu is an accomplished interior designer and decorator. (A profession her guru chose for her.) By his grace she has successfully established her own design firm in Pune, Maharashtra. Her entrepreneurial spirit extends beyond design services, with multiple ventures and a thoughtfully curated product line in the same field. Guided by her guru’s principles, she believes that even the smallest act of kindness can bring light, healing, and positivity into the world. Through his teachings, she has discovered a higher purpose, inner peace, and a deeper understanding of empathic selfless service. She strives to embody these virtues in her daily life by treating everybody with warmth, understanding, and respect. By living these values and sharing them with those around her, she hopes to carry forward the beautiful legacy her grandparents left behind.
