Shri LaghuRaj Swamy: He was an exceptional devotee of Shrimad Rajchandra. He attained good of himself. Even though Shri LaghuRaj Swami had originally taken Dixa as Sthanakvasi mendicant, he dedicated his life to Shrimad Rajchandra and remained in his service even by suffering acute pains and hardships.
Shri Ambalalbhai: He was native of Khambhat. His power of memory was unusual and Shrimad Rajchandra entrusted him the work of copying out scriptures and letters. His contribution in collecting the literature about Shrimad Rajchandra after his death was very great. He himself passed away in 1905.

Mahatma Gandhi:
Mahatma accepted three persons as his guide and he frequently took their advice and inspiration from them. Shrimad Rajchandra was foremost of these three personalities and Gandhiji obtained spiritual instructions from him.

Some Inspiring Events
Sympathy without-Reason: Shrimad Rajchandra was once going to Vavaniya from Morbi and Shri Mansukhbhai Mehta with other devotees had been with him for sendoff. The train was about to arrive and all were busy in discussion of spirituality. At this moment someone came to call Shri Mansukhbhai and he had to go, Shri Mansukhbhai was sorry for losing this chance of being in this discussion. Shri Mansukhbhai did not express this pain in words but Shrimad Rajchandra did see from his face
