At Ralaj, near Khambhat, Shrimad Rajchandra was in solitary meditation, occasionally giving spiritual discourses. At that time, unable to bear the separation from his beloved Guru, Shri Laghuraj Swami, walked from Khambhat to Ralaj, and awaited permission to see him. He was sent back. (Jain monks are not allowed to travel anywhere in the four monsoon months. They have to be stationary at one place). Tears streaming down his cheeks he returned to Khambhat. He spent an anguished night enveloped in sorrow.
Next morning, Shrimad sent Shri Sobhagbhai, Ambalalbhai and Shri Dungershibhai to Khambhat. Shri Sobhagbhai came to the upashreya where Shri Laghuraj Swami was staying.
Shrimad Rajchandra will visit you soon, and has sent a message to be conveyed in strict confidence.
SHRIMAD RAJCHANDRA
They then went to Shri Ambalalbhai's house, where they both sat in solitude. It was there that Shri Sobhagbhai delivered the sacred mantra that Shrimad Rajchandra had sent with him. Shri Laghuraj Swami was enjoined to repeat it five times on the 108 bead rosary every day. Shrimad Rajchandra empowered Shri Laghuraj Swami to give the mantra to any true and earnest spiritual aspirant. Shri Laghuraj Swami's down-trodden spirits soared with inner bliss and ecstasy.
