SHRIMAD RAJCHANDRA For two years their friendship deepened. Full of admiration Gandhiji noted.
"Rajchandra's commercial transactions
covered hundreds of thousands. He was a connoiseur of pearls & diamonds....but the centre of his life revolved round the passion to see God face to face...."
On the request of a Muslim trader Abdullah Seth, Gandhiji agreed to go to South Africa as a salaried barrister for a year to try a civil case. He sailed in 1983.

Gandhiji won the case within the year.
He was attracted to Christianity.
How inspiring is Christ's Sermon
on the Mount !
He corresponded with Shrimad Rajchandra regularly. At that time, Gandhiji was troubled by doubts regarding religion.
I came to South Africa to earn my livelihood... I
find myself thinking about realising my soul. Can Hinduism really
help me do so ?
