Shridevi offered alms to Gautam Swami with devotion. When he was returning, Atimuktak said-1
Really! You too have a guru? Can see him?
Why not. You will be filled with joy when
you see him.
To the garden where my religious guru Bhagavan
Mahavir stays.
Bhante, where will you go now?

Atimuktak accompanied Gautam Swami. The moment he saw Bhagavan Mahavir he was filled with joy.
Oh! How grand and serene is his appearance. Just a glimpse of him has filled
my heart with happiness.

Bhagavan Mahavir's words filled him with a feeling of detachment. He got initiated and became an ascetic. The simplicity, sweetness and warmth of a great ascetic like Gautam drew child Atimuktak to the religious path.
