________________ -2 "हम आप कोई दुःखी नहीं, जो दुःख है वह राम के चौदह वर्ष के वनवास का एक दिवस भी नहीं है। " "You and I are not at all void of happiness. Whatever unhappiness we feel or find, IS NOT EVEN A DAY OF RAMA'S FOREST EXILE OF FOURTEEN YEARS............... XXX !" Hence, such a Great Apostle like Rama, to whom this admirer Srimad Rajchandra's background of Jain Philosophy has given the topmost rank of SIDDHAHOOD, the Moksha-GamiAtma-Siddhatma, has remained Vimalajee's ideal also of SACREDNESS of a HOUSE-HOLDER'S LIFE- which, from her childhood, she herself lived throughout. Is not it a significant event to be born on the Birthday of Rama-Ramanavami ? Again, it was more significant, when her Birth took place at Bilaspur in Chhatisgarh at the place of her Maternal Grand Father, who himself was born on the same auspicious day of Ramanavami and also had passed away on Ramanavami day! What a symbolic significance !! Unique soul of Vimalajee, born on such a significant day, was destined to be a symbolic synthesizer of the Spirituality + Science unifying Age of Humankind. This unique symbolic child was foreseen before birth in the vision of her above Maternal Grand Father - 'Nanaji'- Sri Yadavrayji Bhagdikar, the rich Jagirdar of Raipur in Chhatisgarh. He had brought child Vimalajee's mother and his daughter at Raipur, where she was born. Vimalajee's Lifeelevating foundation was laid in Nanaji's Devotion - surcharged atmosphere. Nanaji himself was a unique sublime soul. Even being a big wealthy person possessing Five storey building in Raipur and innumerable servants, this frequently practising 'Lawyer' soul of Nanaji was reading & practising the hidden Law of Divine Life. Inspite of being a aforesaid type of an ideal House-Holder, his was a Life of an Ascetic, a rare real ascetic! This six feet tall, white complexioned House-holder Ascetic, was wearing silken Dhoti-Kurta, Pune style Pagree & shoes and was keeping a shawl on his shoulders, used to get up early in Amritvela Brahma-Muhurta - the early Dawn and sit down in Mouna - Silent Meditation after having his Bath. At this time of morning-meditation of Nanaji, child Vimalajee was fortunately privileged to sit down in his lap for hours and hours of her long childhood years. Nanaji, inspite of being an intellectual was absorbed in constant escatic chanting -Japa-Ramanama throuhgout Day and Night to such an extent that if somebody will stand near his bed while he was sleeping, will listen to this continuous chanting, in his ongoing Breathings. His Palace had become sacred by becoming Residence of several Saints and Scholars. Even Swami Vivekananda had enjoyed Nanaji's hospitality. Thus his entire Life and consciousness was coloured with Satsanga and spirituality. Nanaji's life-long impact shadowed on Vimalajee.
