________________ purpose he opined that Gujranwala would prove suitable to start with and so he set out for Gujranwala to hold the 'Chaturmas' there. But fate had willed otherwise. It was a hot summer. Shri Atmaramji Maharaj set out for Gujranwala from Sankhatra via Kila Sobha Singh & Pasrur. At Pasrur, food was not available and so he set out further at 4 PM. and reached Barala village. There he had an attack of asthma and then with great difficulty, he could come to Gujranawala on foot. On the fateful 7th of the bright half of month Jyeshta Vikram Samvat 1953, he breathed his last, when he was not even sixty years of age. An eventful career thus came to a sudden end, leaving the dream of establishment of 'sarswati mandir' unfulfilled. Had he lived longer, there is no doubt he would have realised his vision and made the educationally backward Jain community into an advanced one because he believed "Sub men gnanvant barbir" i.e. the one with deep knowledge is the bravest. The whole of his life is an epitome of this dictum and it remains for his followers to tread the path that he has shown.
