Such an Ascetic House-Holder Nanaji in course of his Legal acquaintances, once met with a scholarly Advocate Shree Bagaram Chimanjee Thakar alias 'Bapu Saheb', originally from Pune and had permanently settled at Akola after his studies at Indore. Ajmer and Allahabad, U.P. Nanaji got impressed with this young noteworthy Advocate who had many meriteous qualities and characteristics in him. He was a scholar of the Upanishadas, student of the original principles of several religions, was the Secretary of Indian Rationalist Society.
He was also a Freedom fighter and had gone to jail too in course of Satyagraha movements. He had to face social Boycott, a great punishment for a House-holder, when this revolutionary Advocate dined at the place of his Backward class client, but his entire family passed through this boycott-test with peace, equilibrium and self-respect without any compromise. He used to tremendously help several poor children in their studies.
