There were innumerable devotees in the Sorath region prepared by Swami according to the orders from Maharaj. Due to the scarcity of rains, the year was poor in harvest. The devotees of Sorath had infinite affection for Swami and so Karsan Bambhania of Hamapar village was worried. He collected all the ornaments from his house in a box, came to Junagadh and put that box at the feet of Swami, and said, "Swami, this year the monsoon is weak and as a result of that the sadhus will not be able to go to the countryside. Moreover, as the harvest is not upto the mark, devotees will be unable to offer anything. So, please accept this box of ornaments and make the necessary arrangements to feed the sadhus." Seeing his devotion and spirit Swami was delighted, but he advised him to keep that box with himself as the temple was not facing any problems by the grace of Maharaj. This reply of Swami brought tears to the eyes of Bambhania and he thought that Swami would not accept his services. So he again beseeched Swami to accept it. Looking to his affection Swami kept the box as a deposit. Next year, as there was a good rainy season, Swami called Karsan Bambhania and persuaded him to take back his box. In this way, Swami looked after his devotees. There were many such devotees who were prepared to dedicate whatever they had.
On the occasion of the idol installation ceremony at Junagadh, Maharaj had ordered all the devotees to go to Junagadh every year. Nishkulanand Swami has made a reference about it in Bhaktachintamani :
"Vali Santane Aapi Aagnya re, Rahevun Nahi Ahin aavya
Vina re,
Varso Varas Ek Maas re, Karavo aa Mandir Maa
Nivas re."
"Then saints were ordered that they should not miss a chance to come here. Every year they must stay in this temple for one month."
According to the orders of Maharaj, Gopalanand Swami spent one month in Junagadh every year during Chaturmas-four months of rainy season. Whenever he came, Swami used to hand over all the administrative affairs to him and used to deliver discourses.
