Kabir Arun Mehta was one such rare soul — gentle in spirit, strong in values and full of silent grace. At 57, Kabir was a respected software engineer from Kemps Corner, Mumbai. But he was much more than just a professional. He was a family man, a spiritual seeker and above all, a believer in the power of kindness.
On July 29, 2025, Kabir left this world. But he didn’t leave empty-handed — he left behind hope, healing and a life to those who are struggling to live.
Deep Believe in Faith and Seva
Kabir followed the teachings of the Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur (SRMD), guided by Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji. Under this spiritual light, he learned to live with compassion, purpose, and selfless service — seva.
In 2016, during a spiritual event, Kabir and his wife, Dr. Bijal Mehta, were deeply moved by a session on organ donation. They realized that our bodies — which we leave behind anyway — could become a source of life for others. Without hesitation, he signed up with the Shrimad Rajchandra Organ Donation Programme.
For most of us, life slips away chasing careers, comforts and material things. But in the end, none of it truly stays with us. Late Kabir Arun Mehta was different. He was a rare soul who understood that true purpose lies in selfless service. He believed that the body is just a vessel — and if it can serve someone in need, even in death, then let it. He often said,
“Let this body serve — even when I can’t.”
And that’s exactly what he did. By donating his heart, liver, kidneys, corneas, and skin, Kabir gave life and hope to 10 individuals — even as his own life came to a close. It was a reflection of his spiritual depth, his compassion, and his courage. At BIGSTORY, we salute people like Kabir those who don’t just live for themselves, but think about the well-being of others too. His contribution reminds us all: true greatness lies not in how much we take, but in how much we give.
On July 29, Kabir experienced a sudden medical emergency — a ruptured brain aneurysm. He was rushed to Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital. Despite all efforts by the doctors, he was declared brain dead. It was a moment no family is ever ready for. But amidst the heartbreak, Dr. Bijal, wife, Kabir Mehta remembered the pledge they made together. And even in the middle of loss, she stood strong and said yes — yes to organ donation, yes to service, yes to giving someone else a chance at life. Their daughter stood by her too, showing incredible strength and maturity.
Kabir’s body may have given up — but his soul kept giving. His heart went to a patient fighting for life at Reliance Hospital. His liver brought new hope to another. His kidneys were given to two people waiting at Fortis Hiranandani Hospital, ending their painful wait. His corneas helped two people see the world again. His skin tissue was sent to National Burns Centre, bringing healing to burn victims.
One man.
Ten lives.
And many more hearts touched by his courage.
Most people freeze in moments of loss. But Dr. Bijal Mehta showed what grace looks like under pressure. Instead of allowing grief to break her, she chose to honour her husband’s values. She spoke to the hospital team, coordinated with ZTCC, and ensured that every part of Kabir’s body that could help someone — did. Her strength made the donation happen in time. Her faith gave courage to the doctors and the recipients. They didn’t just say goodbye to Kabir. They sent him off with dignity, with courage, and with seva.
He lived with discipline and made time for seva projects through SRMD. He never looked for credit. But if someone needed help, he did be the first to offer it. His journey reflects 3 taught simple lessons - Live with purpose, speak with kindness and serve with humility. In India, thousands of people wait each year for transplants like kidneys, livers, hearts. Many die due to waiting. The main reason? Not enough donors. Though Kabir Arun Mehta is no longer here. But his heart still beats. His eyes still see. His skin still heals. Every life he touched, every patient he saved — they carry a piece of him. And for the world, he is now a symbol of selfless love. To the Mehta family — your strength, your love, and your decision are a gift to humanity.
