As soon as the letter excommunicating Pragji Bhakta from the satsang came to Junagadh, he set off for Mahuva. The bhandari (store-keeper) had given him some sweet balls. After travelling for some time he broke his journey to eat a little. As soon as he put a piece of sweet ball into his mouth, he felt a terrible burning sensation in his entire body. He realised that the sweets contained. poison, so he buried them and with great efforts reached Mahuva. He could digest the poison through yoga but he had boils all over his body. Then Maharaj gave him darshan and touched his body with His hand and advised him to take the soup of black beans. He was completely cured after some time.
Then once Swami arrived at Una in the company of Acharya Bhagwatprasad. Pragji Bhakta went to Una to offer his respects. Swami saw him in private and consoled him. He pleased him with prasad and sent him home.
From Una, Swami and Acharya Maharaj went to Mahuva. The haribhaktas of Mahuva had arranged a grand reception for the religious heads. Pragji Bhakta had kept special food-stuff reserved for the divine guests. The food-stuff which was offered to them by others was not fit for the saints. It was getting late. So Swami Pavitranand remarked, "Pragji has been excommunicated but not his rice and pulses. Accept his food-stuff." Thus, this timely assistance from Pragji Bhakta was greatly appreciated by everyone. This inspired respect for him in the hearts of the devotees.
Some dignitaries from Mahuva put a pointed question to Acharya Maharaj, "We can understand your excommunicating a person who is anti-religion, but we fail to understand why you should excommunicate such a great devotee as Pragji Bhakta." The sadguru promised, "We are going to take him back into the fold." In the scorching summer heat Pragji Bhakta used to squat in front of the tents of the saints and returned home only in the evening when the katha (religious discourses) was over. All the saints could see that although Pragji had been excommunicated, his love for satsang was increasing day by day. Pragji Bhakta had called on Pavitranand Swami and had requested him to take him back into the divine fellowship. During his seven days stay, Gunatitanand Swami too had met Pragji Bhakta in private and had given him the happiness of his soothing divine touch.
Soon after this, Swami was invited to Ahmedabad by the ailing Acharya Ayodhyaprasad Maharaj. He gave him great comfort. He was persuaded to celebrate the Ramnavmi Samaiya at Ahmedabad. He entertained thousands of devotees and saints with the inspiring talks of the supremacy of Shriji Maharaj. Acharya Maharaj and other sadgurus had arrived from Vadtal. Pragji Bhakta, with a desire to get darshan (glimpse) of Swami had also come there. He could not resist the temptation of seeing his guru. He had camped outside the temple. Occasionally when Swami went out, he would become glad to have darshan of his master and would tell people "Look, here goes Akshar." Thus Pragji Bhakta was busy spreading the divine glory of his spiritual master. Swami also would ask the bhandari (store-keeper) to send food for his disciple who was staying outside the temple.
Acharya Ayodhyaprasadji served Swami sincerely and with full devotion and won his favour. Then Swami went to Nadiad and from there he went to Vadtal. Thousands of devotees welcomed Swami with overflowing love and devotion, performed his poojan and offered him dhotis. Swami also graced them with his learned talks on Brahmajnana and returned to Junagadh.
