In 1969 I went to Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, to publish Mahaprabhuji's book. For two months I was the guest of Sri K. L. Sharma, an inspector in the Police Department and during this time I was invited by the former commissioner of transport, Sri Ro­shan Mal Mathur, to give satsang in his home. On this occasion he offered me land for an ashram either there in Jaipur or somewhere else in the Pali district.

Thinking that it was an offer made just out of politeness I refused, but Sri Roshan Mal persisted. Finally I was convinced and informed him that I gratefully accepted his offer of land to build an ashram. That same evening a meeting was arranged. He joined me in Sodala to show me the map of a plot of land which was to be the ashram site and he handed over the necessary documents. With a reverent prayer I accepted them.

"This land I dedicate to His Holiness, Bhagwan Sri Deep Narayan Mahaprabhuji. May all spiritual seekers find peace and inspiration through the presence of his Divine Light."

I am in this ashram quite often and all devotees who wish to develop spiritually and who desire to hear the message of Mahaprabhuji, are most welcome.
