In the quiet strength of a woman’s heart lies a universe of untold stories. Among them shines the inspiring journey of Mrs. Usha Swaroop — a name fondly respected within her family , friends and the Vedic Senior Parivar of Laxmi Narayan Mandir in Surrey, British Columbia.
Born into a simple family in New Delhi, she was raised with high moral values and a deep sense of self-respect. Life tested her resilience early on when she lost her father at a young age. With no shortcuts in sight, she stood on her own feet — pursuing her education and beginning her professional life independently, laying the foundation for a future built on dignity and hard work.
Married to the brilliant achiever Mr. Narayan Swaroop, an IIT gold medalist and a successful businessman, Usha Ji’s life blossomed with dreams and stability. But destiny took a sudden turn when her husband’s life was cut short in his prime age leaving her to shoulder the immense responsibility of raising three young children while managing his vast, technically intensive business — alone.
The journey ahead was not easy. There were days of tears, years of perseverance, and moments of uncertainty. Yet, what never wavered was her faith — in God, in herself, and in the unseen strength she felt from her husband’s heavenly presence. With this silent support and the love and respect from both her family and in-laws, she carried on with grace.
Though the business eventually had to be shut down, as it was deeply technical and challenging to sustain alone, Usha Ji made the bold choice to return to work. She balanced her professional life while raising her growing children, ensuring that her home remained a heaven of values, hope, and stability. Her children blossomed into confident, successful individuals and got married to equally wonderful spouses — a blessing she cherishes every single day.
Before moving to Canada , she had the rare honour of working at the BJP headquarters in the Indian Parliament during the era of Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji and L.K. Advaniji. She witnessed the formative parliamentary years of Yogi Adityanath , RAM Nath Kovind, ex President of India and the occasional visits of the then Gujarat Chief Minister, Narendra Modi ji just to name a few alongside 100+ Members of Parliament. A haunting memory from this period was surviving the 2001 terrorist attack on the Parliament — trapped inside the building for hours with horrifying sounds of bullets shots, witnessing the dead bodies of Parliamentary security personnel and the terrorists in pool of blood.
Upon relocating to British Columbia in 2004, , it took over a decade for the foreign land to feel like home. But divine grace guided her once again in 2016, she joined the Vedic Senior Parivar at Laxmi Narayan Mandir — and found not just a community, but a second family there. With their love and support, she began exploring her long-held passions for yoga, singing, dancing, comedy, and even culinary art of fruit and vegetable carving — a hobby that now brings joy to her , her family and much appreciated by the senior group.
Today, Usha Swaroop is a proud grandmother of six beautiful grandchildren who deeply love and admire her. They recognize the immense sacrifices she made, and the silent strength she carried in her soul to build the life they now enjoy.
Those who meet her — whether friends, acquaintances, or extended family — are instantly drawn to her warmth, wisdom, and elegance. She is deeply loved, wholeheartedly respected, and graciously admired by everyone whose lives she touches.
Her story isn’t just about endurance. It is about elevation.
Her message to every reader is simple yet powerful:
“No matter how hard life hits, never lose faith in yourself or in the divine plan. Your courage, your kindness, and your character will always carry you through. And when you look back, you’ll realize — even pain had a purpose.”
