26. The Story of Dowry And Marriage:

The lion of Bharatiya Revolutionary Freedom Fighters, Shri Shyamsunder Chakravarthy, was like a father to Keshava (Doctorjee). Unfortunately, Shyam Babu had a very large family, which was perpetually in some financial bind. Keshava did everything to help Shaym Babu out. He only had to call out "Keshava!". Doctorjee would understand that money was needed, and he would some how raise in to help Shyam Babu.

One day, an excellent prospective bridegroom was being sought for Shyam Babu's daughter, who had great difficulty in getting a boy to accept her. This boy had said yes but the question of dowry and marriage expenses loomed heavily ahead. Shyam Babu left everything to Keshava. Doctorjee worked day and night to raise the required money, and the marriage was a great success, without loss of face to Shyam Babu.

Considering the fact that Doctorjee was himself extremely poor, so much so that he had difficulty in getting two meals a day, his devotion to get Shyam Babu's daughter married, shows a unique greatness of his heart.
