In
the Company of Gunatitanand Swami at Junagadh :
As
Pragji Bhakta adored Gopalanand Swami very much, he felt the pangs
of separation unbearable. He lost all interest and
shifted from Vadtal to Gadhada. Here Siddhanand Swami consoled
him and took him to Junagadh to meet Gunatitanand Swami.
"Where comes this little deer from!" asked Gunatitanand
Swami as soon as he saw Pragji. He welcomed him with all affection
and love, Pragji Bhakta also experienced peace at last. He became
quiet and tranquil in the presence of Gunatitanand Swami, and
recalled, "Go to Junagadh," the advice given by Gopalanand
Swami. He was greatly impressed by the asceticism and affection
of Gunatitanand Swami and soon became his devotee.
He was deeply impressed by the learned discourses of Gunatitanand
Swami who explained to him Shriji Maharaj's state of Purna Purushottam
(the Supreme Lord) and means to brahmanisation. He felt like spending
most of his time in the company of the Swami of Junagadh He would
spend eight months every year in the company of Swami.
In the Samvat year 1911 Swami gave discourses on swarupnishta
and ekantik dharma for one month at Vadtal. All the words of Swamiji
were recorded in Pragji Bhakta's mind and he used to repeat them
before the learned saints and devotees. Besides this he would
reveal to them that Gunatitanand Swami was himself a manifestation
of Akshar, the heavenly abode of Maharaj.
