After staying for some days in Rajkot, Swami Krishnacharandasji and his group of sadhus resumed their tour of the villages. In the course of their tour they visited Hajdiyala near Sardhar. There was no Swaminarayan temple in the village, and therefore the saints rested at the chora (community hall) of the village.
It was noon. The saints, after the afternoon sermon (Katha) retired for a short rest. Jina Bhagat, after completing his duties also lay down for some rest. A Rajput haribhakta, who was an expert in astrology and palmistry, was struck with wonder when he saw the soles of Jina Bhagat's feet. He had never seen such extraordinary lines on the feet of any sadhu before.
Thus when Jina Bhagat got up and he welcomed the Rajput Bhakta, the bhakta exclaimed : "Oh ! Jina Bhagat, you will be a great saint one day. People in their thousands will follow you. They will pray to you to earn your favour and blessings. Shriji Maharaj will be your constant companion. There are urdhvarekhas on your soles. Holy men with urdhvarekhas are extremely rare. They are the holy signs possessed by a saint who has a constant rapport with God."
On hearing these words, Jina Bhagat at once covered his feet and said : "Don't utter things like that about me. I am just an ordinary sadhu. Krishnacharandas Swami is a great saint. Please never speak about this to anybody."
But the devotee could not remain silent. He at once disclosed his thoughts to Krishnacharandas Swami. Swamiji smilingly said : "Yes, he possesses all the qualities that a great saint should possess."
