Dr. H. C. Dhariwal was born on February 2, 1951 and spent his childhood and youth in Raipur, Chattisgarh. He passed his MBBS from Raipur. In 1974, he came to Chennai and established a clinic known as Sampat Nursing Home in Mylapore. Today it is a well established hospital, efficiently managed by his son, daughter-in-law and his wife.
His religious upbringing is apparent from the fact that both his parents renounced to join the Jaina faith. He was just 15 years old when his father embraced monkhood. His mother was also keen to renounce, but waited until her children had settled down. In 1975, HCD married Chandralekha, the lovely daughter of J.D. Pannalal Chordia and Kiran bai. Within a year, his mother followed her husband’s footsteps and became a Jain nun. His great aunt as well as niece have also embraced nunhood.
At the young age of three, HCD had memorized the entire Bhaktamar Sutra. He spends a lot of time listening to the discourses of monks and nuns. He also attends to their health and takes special care of them in his own hospital. He is diligent in his religious activities and is an inspiration to others. He encourages children and youngsters to inculcate religious values in their life and has begun prayer meetings on Sundays at the Mylapore Sthanak.
He is kind and benevolent by nature and has conducted many free health camps in many parts of India. He has given free medical treatment to the poor and needy in his hospital. He donated his own kidney to his elder brother.
