Thousands of haribhaktas had thronged the Junagadh temple on the occasion of Bhim Ekadashi Samaiya. As soon as Swami's eye caught the sight of the canopy, he remembered Pragji Bhakta. He could not control his tears. He sighed, "For what crime has he been excommunicated. They who have done so stand themselves condemned and excommunicated." Such immense love Swami had towards Pragji Bhakta. Then he entrusted certain temple duties to Jagabhagat and other affectionate devotees and left the temple for his daily rounds. He came to the gate leading to Nagarwada and sat there for some time. He muttered, "I have spent forty years, four months and four days in this place. Now I shall keep myself moving, visiting the devotees and shall stay at Mahuva." Thus he indirectly referred to the fact that he was manifest in the Satsang through Pragji Bhakta. He revealed this fact in a very subtle and indirect manner.
Gunatitanand Swami left for Vanthali. From there he went to Upleta, Panchala and Gondal. The Maharaja of Gondal had sent a special invitation to him. He was accorded a royal welcome to the palace. He blessed young Bhagawatsinhji and offered him vartman.
He was received and entertained by Gondal Darbar and Madhavji Karbhari. He remained with them till eleven at night. Then on the 12th day of the first half of the lunar month of Ashwin (V. S 1923) at a quarter to one (12.45 a.m.) he, of his own free will, independently left his mortal body and returned to Akshardham-the divine abode to serve Shriji Maharaj. Pragji Bhakta found the pangs of separation from his divine master unbearable. The entire Satsang mourned the death of Gunatitanand Swami and experienced a great spiritual loss.
