Rohit Mehta was born on August 3,1908 at Surat in the family of Hasmanram, a professor of physics at the Elphinstone College, Bombay.

Theosophical work

While serving as General Secretary of the Indian Section, Shri Rohit Mehta and his wife made a nine weeks' tour of East Africa, including Tanganyika, Uganda, Belgian Congo, Kenya and Zanzibar. "Huge audiences heard them at 137 meetings held in 24 communities and 80 new members were admitted to the Society."[1] He recognized that the Indian Section could play a useful role in bringing together racial and ethnic groups in East Africa.

Marriage

Rohit Mehta and his wife Shrideviben were effective partners in their theosophical work. She sang bhajans and hymns at his lectures, and his words illustrated the meaning of the music. Professor P. G. Mavalankar recalled that Mehta would advise the audience before his talks, “You cannot leave while Shridevi is singing the bhajan. However,you can leave when I am talking.” Hardly anybody would go.[2]
