was an Indian politician of Democratic Swarajya Party (DSP), who was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Bombay Presidency after 1937 Bombay Presidency legislative election. Subsequently, he remained Finance and Revenue Minister in ministry of Dhanjishah Cooper in 1937.

Jamnadas Mehta (also referred Jamnadas Maydhavji Mehta) was an Indian politician active in the Bombay Presidency during the 1920s–1930s. A leader associated with the Democratic Swarajya Party (also called the Lokashahi Swarajya Paksha), Mehta served as the Minister for Land Revenue and Forest, and Finance (including Trade, Posts and Telegraphs) in the short-lived Cooper ministry of the Bombay Presidency from *in 1937.^[1][2][3]

Mehta emerged from the Tilak-inspired Swarajist tradition in Bombay (now Mumbai). The Democratic Swarajya Party revived in Bombay in the early 1930s by leaders including N. C. Kelkar, M. R. Jayakar and Jamnadas Mehta represented an effort by anti-Congress Tilakite groups and Swaraj advocates to participate in the legislative councils and influence provincial governance through constitutional means.^[4]

In the 1937 provincial elections conducted under the Government of India Act 1935, the Indian National Congress won the greatest number of seats in the Bombay Presidency but initially declined to form the government. The Governor invited Sir Dhanjishah Cooper to form an interim ministry of non-Congress parties. Cooper’s ministry—composed of representatives from smaller parties and independents including the Democratic Swarajya Party and the Muslim League—was sworn in on **1 April 1937**.

Jamnadas Mehta was appointed to the Cooper cabinet with responsibility for land revenue and forest administration and with the Finance portfolio, which at the time included trade, postal services and telegraph administration. His monthly ministerial salary was recorded in contemporary official returns.^[1] The Cooper ministry was brief: it resigned and was replaced by B. G. Kher's Congress ministry on **19 July 1937**.^[2]

During the Cooper ministry’s tenure, Mehta’s portfolios were central to provincial revenue generation and administrative control over land and forest resources—areas of particular sensitivity in colonial fiscal policy and agrarian relations. Primary administrative reviews for Bombay (1936–37) list the composition and responsibilities of the provincial executive and the financial position of the Presidency during this transition period.^[2]

Contemporary press and later historiography indicate that Mehta was politically active in movements that sought to revive constitutional agitation (Swaraj) and to engage with provincial governance rather than abstain from council participation. He has been connected in secondary sources with campaigns connected to prominent nationalists of the time (for example, lobbying related to Vinayak Damodar Savarkar’s detention release in 1937 has been linked to coalition discussions in which Mehta was active), though detailed primary documentation should be consulted for firm attribution of specific actions.^[5]

Jamnadas Mehta’s ministerial tenure was brief because of the unstable coalition politics of 1937 in Bombay. Nevertheless, his appointment illustrates the transitional phase of provincial politics under the 1935 Act—in which smaller parties and independents briefly administered provinces while Congress debated its position vis-à-vis the Governor’s reserved powers. Mehta’s association with the Democratic Swarajya Party places him in the stream of Tilakite and Swarajist politics that preferred legislative participation to abstention.^[4] There is a road named after him: "Jamanadas Mehta Road", in posh Malabar Hill area of Mumbai. ^[6]

The part that resonated with me the most is the addiction to wanting acceptance or validation. I am learning that just my being is enough... that is big. I am enough regardless of who thinks what of me....

The journey of life is internal. It is of becoming more and more authentic, and aligned with our soul! Know your soul, it sparkles when I see it.

When we reflect, look within for the point of reference, rather than the world outside, we begin to know our souls deeply, with passing years. It allows our life to sparkle. No doubt, our self, constantly challenges us. But to not be more, rather only who we are, as who we are is enough, and that is our greatest challenge to stand in our light, authentic light!

Just be.

You are enough, for God created you!

Discover your Purpose

Lack of integrity is a weakness, when we have an encounter with someone with such a weakness, may we be inspired forgive them, realising the consequences they will have to face not just now, but in future lifetimes, and pray for wisdom being dawned on them, as it has on you!

Loss of innocence and moral backbone has been a issue of perennial concern with parents and elders of society, witnessing the marked lack of a wisdom culture in modern life, which is more devout to monetary success and worships its demigods and goods, more than real ones.

Personally this archetypal betrayal, is a valuable experience, as from it we can scan our own inner darkness, plus learn to discern amongst people.

We also need the balance while growing up to become aware of dark side of society as well as of people. Just has we teach our children, or young adults as I prefer to see them, to discern between good touch and bad touch, we also need to teach them and even learn ourselves to distinguish between good attention and bad one, between good company and bad one, good path and bad one or environment for that matter, no matter how flattering it might seem outwardly. This can only be done if learn to listen to our inner intuition, gut feeling about thing.

Recently I read about American Army in Iraq has people who can sense this "cold feeling" when they step on to a road which has mines or some form of danger. Same can be used in guiding ourselves to better people to associate with, rather associating with people who we can look up rather than people who shower accolades at us and in turn control us by boosting our egos.

People who are inauthentic would do anything thing to make to like them, which is easy. Once they can tape into our inner "weakness of being liked". Guys have been doing it for ever, to latch on to girls with low self esteem, hence low standards in whom they would give their company to.

Is monetary success the only success or being a successful human being is equally important? When we as a society learn it, in the coming generation we'd have more of a society. Right now, we are hardly social, though we might like to think of ourselves as a society, we have clubs at the maximum.

When we realise that we are heroes of our life and not sidekicks, we'd be inspired naturally to lead a more authentic life, with greater integrity, honour and above all of social consequence. Few lives these days have any social consequence!

Whatever works for an individual is the right path, none better than another. As someone rightly mentioned above one has to be ready for the self-inquiry path, even then bhakti is an essential ingredient, as you cannot stay aware at all times, so we do need grace! And for someone who is not ready, that is hasn't brought his/her shadow sides into awareness, this can be tricky,

as often they strike when you are most unprepared! So till the advent of grace, till our mind becomes still naturally, practice all that you need to. Thereafter stay at the heart. as the mind tend to ..wait for self-inquiry to happen spontaneously!

Never settle for an ordinary life when you can live a life filled with the presence of the sacred in every single moment! You were born for something extraordinary. because you come from the extraordinary! Find your extra ordinary-ness deep beneath your ordinary-ness and thus your sacred nature!
