He was a respected and active member of the local Indian community as well as the broader Lansing community. Sahaj Marg meditation was an important part of his life and he traveled far and wide to fulfill and grow on his spiritual journey.

Dinesh loved spending time with his grandkids, travelling around the country and the world, and playing tennis and golf. He was known for his deep generosity, resilience, resourcefulness, quirky sense of humor, rigorous work ethic and integrity. In his life, he overcame remarkable obstacles to create a meaningful career and rich home life filled with many friends and family.
