Yogiji
Majaraj liked to engage in the service of the Lord and the temple
as much as he liked to render service to saints and devotees.
When engaged in such services Yogi would forget hunger and fatigue.
He obeyed all the commands of Shastriji Maharaj sincerely and
instantly. He served him also, and helped him in all his work.
Shastriji Maharaj built the first temple in Bochasan, and installed
the images of Akshar and Purushottam in it. After some time he
also started building a temple in Sarangpur. During those days,
due to lack of funds, the sadhus and the devotees also helped
in the construction of the temple.
Yogiji Maharaj too, after completing all his normal duties used
to give a hand in the building of the temple. He carried on his
head large stones for the masons to lay. He mixed lime and sand
with a spade, and provided the mixture. He assisted in digging
and in filling in the foundation. He was the youngest in age,
but in service, he excelled everyone.
He was jubilant because the images of Akshar and Purushottam were
to be installed when the temple was ready. "How can one ever
get such an opportunity to serve the Lord ! One should therefore
seize the opportunity for service whenever it comes, so that God
may be pleased," he used to say.
Shastriji Maharaj was much pleased with Yogiji Maharaj's sincere
service and loving nature. He frequently praised and blessed Yogiji
Maharaj.
