After Dr. Vanikar retired from the L.G. Hospital, he decided
to dedicate his entire life to social service. He was filled with
the spirit that the Hindu society should get united,
untouchability should be abolished, the new limitations
imposed by the society should be done away with, and the
Hindus should feel pride about their great culture and great
people. He undertook effort to realize these goals too. When it
comes to pointing out the name of any one person who assisted
in founding the Vishwa Hindu Parishad in Gujarat, the only
name that will emerge in the mind is that of Dr. Vanikar. In fact,
he had devoted all his life for the development of the Vishwa
Hindu Parishad. When the Vishwa Hindu Parishad had just
been founded in Gujarat about thirty years ago, he published a
fortnightly newspaper called Vishwa Hindu Samachar and thus
he had commenced the course of mass awakening.

The personality of Dr. Vanikar was greatly respected in the
whole of Gujarat as well as the elite classes. It was no difficult
task for him to seek contribution from such wealthy families to
run the Vishwa Hindu Parishad; however, he did not do this,
rather he made a system by which the ordinary people were
associated with the Parishad. He also formulated a system of
‘Daan Peti’ (contribution or donation box). He would go to small
shopkeepers and keep in their shops copies of the Vishwa Hindu
Samachar and the contribution box. He would inspire the
shopkeepers, and he had also started the system that the copies
of the newspaper could be given free of cost to an individual
who donated something in the box. Sometimes a few
shopkeepers did not want to take up such a responsibility, then
he would go himself to convince them. He would say that if the
money collected was as low as five rupees a month, still it was
okay. It was the result of Dr. Vanikar’s hard work and effort that
these contribution boxes were kept at more than five thousand
places in small and big towns. Thus, it created a large network
to communicate the ideas of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, and it
did not take much long. The contribution of small amounts by
ordinary people became the source of running the Vishwa
Hindu Parishad. Dr. Vanikar had worked hard for this work
