Meeting with Shri Ramdas Maharaj

Meeting with Shri Ramdas Maharaj:
Shri Ramdas Maharaj of Ranjanpur was the younger brother of Aap Shri Gulam Maharaj. He was very powerful person. All the devotees of Shri Gulam Maharaj were united and loyal to Shri Ramdas Maharaj. Ramdas Maharaj was detained in his house in those days. He was charged of evoking the emotions of the people. But that was the struggle between the followers of Shri Ramdas Maharaj and the wine shop keepers. Shri Ramdas Maharaj was against the drinking wine.
Janardan Maharaj was on election campaign. Once Janardan Maharaj went to his father-in-law and asked him to vote and support him. He was the true follower of Gulam Maharaj and Ramdas Maharaj.
He said, "You are my son-in-law but I'll not vote you. I'll listen to only Ramdas Maharaj. If he says I'll help you, otherwise sorry!"
During his election campaign Janardan Maharaj went to Shri Ramdas Maharaj at Morwad to ask for his support for the election. One of his disciples passed a general comment about the personality of Janardan Maharaj.
He said, "Nowadays, Congress has given its ticket to the persons like scarecrows".
At that time Shri Ramdas Maharaj tried to save the situation.
He said, "The God is going to do everything. Who are we to decide?"
Janardan Maharaj remained silent. He was the man of suitable word at suitable time. The time did not allow him to say anything about that. But when Janardan Maharaj won the election and was MLA.
Shri Ramdas Maharaj invited Janardan Maharaj to honour him for thrice. Janardan Maharaj went there to accept the honour. Shri Ramdas Maharaj was detained at that time. As Janardan Maharaj was the MLA of the Constituency, Shri Ramdas Maharaj needed some help from him. The commentator was also with him. Janardan Maharaj got the opportunity to reply the comment of scarecrow.
Janardan Maharaj assured them modestly, "Why not? I can do at least the work of a scarecrow in a field."
The commentator disciple was ashamed.It was the speciality of Janardan Maharaj to give the same answer to the mischievous questions. Afterwards he helped Shri Ramdas Maharaj and eventually freed him. Janardan Maharaj keeps his words and promises like Ram in Ramayana. The impact of holy books on Janardan Maharaj is so powerful that it had changed his view about life. His determination about the development of Adivasi is as firm as rock.
