commenced long time residence of Vimalajee.
Mt. Abu - Arbudachala being place of attraction of several Spiritual Personalities from Ancient Times, became more pious with the footprints of Vimalajee on it. Primary residence of Vimalajee was reminding of that forest culture. This span of time full of numerable adventures, had brought many challenges. Basic facilities were being created slowly slowly and Seeker-Aspirants commenced gathering gradually during the time period from 1963 to 1968. The fragrance of Vimalajee's life spreaded extensively. Friends were being gathered, readings was going on and sometimes questionsdialogue sessions also used to take place. Several mysteries were being explored here. Library which commenced here became prosperous during times of studies of Vimalajee. Gradually organising of Retreats-study camps started. People used to gather for meetings by making own independant arrangements for their boardings & lodgings. Vimalajee refused to keep Shivkuti building as personal property, however, this place became prosperous due to her occupation from 1963 A.D. to 2009 A.D. (46 long years!). She went on making travels of India & Abroad upto 1991 A.D. She ended the festive occasion of her foreign tours in 1991 A.D. Gradually, went on ending tours within India also and Vimalajee hardly came down from Mount Abu in the span from 2004 A.D. to 2009 A.D.

FOREIGN TOURS
On her Rama Navami birthday of 1992 A.D. Vimalajee had disclosed that, "Difficult was to acquire education, difficult were the tours & travels of Bhoodan Movement, Times and Foreign Tours were several times more difficult than that!" She happened to go on tour of U.S.A. in 1956 A.D. for the first time and her festive period of foreign travels ended in 1991 A.D. For seekers - Aspirants of the world, these four approximate decades became like, 'FRIENDSHIP FESTIVITY'. Vimalajee did not allow to grow any Ashram, formal organisation or set up around her. Friends went on setting up informal arrangements under the name of 'FRIENDS OF VIMALA'. Funds were being raised only to the extent of travelling expenses and arrangements for Boarding & Lodging. Vimalajee used to participate in Retreats and Meetings and personal Interviews were being arranged, during which she used to share with friends her understanding based on spirituality & Science and Spirituality & Social Life.
The primary years of foreign travels were like Adventure at jumping in darkness. Gradually all started becoming steady and settled from Holland. Thereafter groups of friends commenced taking place of about 30 countries of Entire Europe, U.S.A., Australia, Sri Lanka, etc., All commenced getting sacred touch of Vimal-Vision, Life & Philosophy.
Vimalajee hardly preferred to stay or dine at Hotels. She herself or her accompanying friend used to cook her food. It was a part and parcel of voyage abroad to undergo personal works,
