When Shri Nathji was in Dehradun, he came to see Pt. Madan Mohan Malviya at a nursing home where he lay sick. Shri Nathji had great love for him and he was also overjoyed to see Shri Nathji. His meeting with Shri Nathji is mentioned in the Mahagranth - God Incarnate on page 349 – 350 where we can read the details. After the meeting Madan Mohan Malviya touched Shri Nathji’s feet and invited him to come to Banras Hindu University. Thus Shri Nathji came to Banaras at Malviyaji’s invitation. Here he gave his blessings to Dr, S Radhakrishnan who was then the Vice Chancellor of the university. He is said to have immediately left a meeting he was conduction and came for Shri Nathji’s darshan. He took Shri Nathji to Mahatma Gandi who was there during those days. This historical meeting is mentioned in the Mahagranth - God Incarnate on page 350. where we can read the details. A hidden code was touched in Mahatma Gandi’s soul, but Shri Nathji did not reveal his real self to him. Albeit Shri Nathji gave him a copy of a gramophone recording that contained His voice delivering his famous Shanti Sandesh, which was recorded in Calcutta.
