Bhagatji Maharaj
 

 

End of Exile:

After arriving at Vadtal, the saints camped in a mansion facing the main gate of the temple. They met Acharya Maharaj who asked them to wear the saffron coloured clothes of a sadhu. He sent Vignandasji and others to Khandesh. Yagnapurushdasji and some saints went on a tour of Gujarat.
Vignandasji attracted a great many people towards the satsang in Khandesh. Some haribhaktas saw the image of Bhagatji beside that of Shriji Maharaj in their samadhi (trance). A woman devotee was possessed by evil spirit. As soon as she saw the image of Bhagatji, the evil spirit left her and she was possessed by Bhagatji. She started behaving like Bhagatji and brought happiness to innumerable people. Thus Bhagatji became very popular in Khandesh. Devotees started visiting Mahuva to seek communion with Bhagatji.
During this period, Acharya Maharaj arrived at Mahuva. He received Bhagatji with great respect and every day sent thal to him. He always asked Bhagatji to address the congregation and praised him before the saints and devotees. Acharya Maharaj graced his house by paying a visit.
In the year V. S. 1949 a murti pratishtha ceremony (consecration of idol was to be held at Lakshmivadi in Gadhpur. Acharya Maharaj had sent a special invitation to Bhagatji. Bhagatji had invited haribhaktas from Gujarat to attend the ceremony at Gadhpur. Yagnapurushdasji had come with his guru Rangacharya from Baroda. They got an opportunity of meeting Bhagatji at Laxmivadi as well as at the place where he was lodging. Rangacharya was greatly impressed by Bhagatji. Acharya Maharaj asked Bhagatji to talk to the assembly of devotees.
Then on the invitation of the devotees from Gujarat, Bhagatji visited Nadiad. Here he stayed with Zaverilalbhai. People started pouring into Nadiad from all corners of Gujarat. All of them brought offerings with them.
Bhagatji talked to everyone about the supremacy of Shriji Maharaj. He also told them that the Swami was the manifestation of Akshar and asked them to seek the company of satpurush (God-realised saint) and observe celibacy. He regularly visited the temple both in the morning and evening and conducted religious discourses there. At night after telling his night prayer (niyam-chesta), he would return to the place where he was staying and talk about brahmajnana till late night. Certain haribhaktas had the darshan (glimpse) of Shriji Maharaj on account of their communion with Bhagatji.
