Personally, I enjoyed this project at the time when I got an opportunity to have religious discussions with both Mataji as well as the chances to listen to many stories related to their personal lives. I also had very precious lighter & funny moments with both Mataji and got chances to laugh with them with seeing their endless laughter. All these moments have occupied remarkable place in my heart. I would also like to share some secret about this project. Because of the lengthiness of the project everyone became tired & started to suspect over its completion. Everyone attached with this project was surrounded at least once with such kind of thoughts that 'whether the corrections will be removed completely or we will always be finding corrections in this dictionary.'
I also got through a remarkable incidence of my life, that I want to share with you. I got a job as a lecturer in a private institution at Rajkot and after submitting a compilation-form of this dictionary (in which reading and improvement session with mataji was to be organized), I prepared myself mentally to leave for Rajkot. After whole packing when I left home. I thought to have blessings of Pujya Upadhyaya Shri Nijanandsagarji Maharaj first, and I went to him. After listening to the opinion of Nijanandşagar ji Maharaj in respect of Pujya Gyanmati Mataji, my programme of leaving for Rajkot totally tumed back. Maharaj ji told me only one thing that even if you get a job of 1,00,000/-Rs. per month, you will not leave to work for the proiect of dictionary. You will definitely get the sucess in your life.' And after assuring Maharaj ji. I went back to my home. Everybody was astonished and asked whether I left the train? Then, I explained everything and with giving importance to the utterance of a spiritual teacher into mind, I reached at Kundalpur at 18th Nov. 2003 for the reading session & finished the job in the presence of Mataji. Today, I am very glad on its completion with the hard work of everyone.
Although this lengthy & complex work has been done with great care but possibility may be there for some improvements. As readers are the only right critic of any composition, therefore, your creative ideas and comments are expected.
