Maharaj told kashinath Garde, a devotee, when he came to darshan that a telegram for him was waiting at his home and to his surprise it was true and that was his appointment order. Once Maharaj had been to Nagpur as the guest of Shrimant Gopal Buti. Buti left no stone to be unturned in reception of Maharaj and kept Maharaj for so many days and wished that Maharaj should not go to Shegaon But Hari Patil brought Maharaj to Shegaon. A Sadhu from Dhar Kalyan, Raghunath visited Shegaon and met Gajanan Maharaj. Swami Vasudevanand Sarswati came to Shegaon to see Maharaj, Maharaj had given pre information of his arrival one day before. Maharaj explained Balabhau about the three ways to reach God i.e. Karma Marg, Bhakti Marg and Yoga Marg. Maharaj asked Shrimati Salubai, a devotee to cook food in the Math for the devotees. She did likewise thereafter. To the great surprise of Atmaram of Jalamb, Maharaj corrected his recitation of Vedas, by himself reciting Vedas. Atmaram stayed with Maharaj afterwards and donated all his property to the Math.
