VISHWA MANAV SRIMAD
RAJCHANDRAJI
(Born: Kartik Poornima, Samvat 1924; Left Chaitra vad 5, Samvat 1957)
"He was a man of great character and learning. He was also known as a Shatavadhani.....XXX. The thing that did cast its spell over me I came to know afterwards. This was wide knowledge of the scriptures, his spotless character and his burning passion for self-realization. I saw later that this last was the only thing for which he lived."
"For several years, I am in search of a religious man in India, but I have so far not come across any person who could compete with Shrimad Rajchandra Bhai ...XXX. He mostly used to say that he did not belong to any sect or tradition or fragment, nor did he intend to limit himself to them. These are all sub-religions, the "Limited" ones, while religion is 'Infinite' or 'Limitless', which cannot be defined at all!"

"Raichand
Bhai became instrumental in strengthening Bapu (Gandhiji)'s faith in Hinduism-this, a service which had naturally taken shape at his hands but from the view point of public, was his best act. In my opinion, his best service is to manifest in himself, a burning zeal for self-realization." - ACHARYA VINOBA BHAVE (In a Marathi letter dated 17-11-1935 from Pavnar.)
