The Last of the Seven Bungalows

The Last of the Seven Bungalows

Clyde

How did Seven Bungalows get its name?

You can take a guess, the name gives it a way doesn't it just as it suggest there were Seven Bungalows located here among the mangroves and trees, a place one with nature with the beach at the doorstep.

The area at that time had no buses coming to it, it was a small dainty little place. But today its got its own set of fine dining restaurants, the G7 Mall  built, a bus depot and in the future the Reliance Metro will run through it.

What happened to these seven bungalows? Six of the seven bungalows have been sold off to make way for buildings, but yet one of them still stands stall and a family business runs from its ground flow, Nazneen Bakery.
Nazneen Bakery turns out fresh bread, delicious coconut and walnut cakes as well as some yummy Coconut Cookies and Nankaties. Well I probably do a post on that later, but till then take a look at the Seventh Bungalow, the last of the Seven Bungalows.

The Story of The Yoga Institute AT DADA BHAI'S BUNGALOW AT SEVENBUNGALOWS,ANDHERI WEST ,MUMBAI 61

R. P. Masani stumbled upon some of Yogendraji’s translations of Gitanjali by Rabindranath Tagore, and he invited Yogendraji to his place in Versova. There Yogendraji met Homi Dadina, son-in-law of Dadabhai Naoroji. Mr. Dadina became so impressed with the yogi that he along with a few others started learning Yoga at theVersova Beach.

And with this, on Christmas Day, 25th December, 1918, the Yoga Institute was born at ‘The Sands’ the residence of Dadabhai Naoroji at Versova near Bombay where Yogendraji began sharing the secrets of Yoga among the common

[BUT THE BUNGALOW ''THE SANDS' AT SEVEN BUNGALOWS WAS SOLD OFF TO A BUILDER ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO AND DEMOLISHED ]

A GARDEN NEAR TO HIS BUNGALOW ,ALSO CALLED DADABHAI NAWROJI GARDEN -ALSO KNOWN AS THE ROUND GARDEN OF 7 BUNGALOWS (NOT NANA NANI PARK) IS IN BAD SHAPE NOW ;
BECAUSE BOMBAY MUNCIPAL CORPORATION SAYS IT HAS NO MONEY TO LOOK AFTER THE GARDEN

MEANWHILE THE GARDEN WAS GIVEN TO A BUILDER FOR UPKEEP BY THE B.M.C. SINCE LAST 6YEARS ;ON CONDITION THE BUILDER CAN USE 20% OF THE GARDEN FOR COMMERCIAL USE ,
