Sanatan Dharma College Lahore

 In Year 1928 when Shri Nathji went to Lahore, two devotees of Shri Nathji, Hardeo Prasad Sharma, and Ram Lal invited Shri Nathji to address the students at the boys’ hostel at Sanatan Dharam College.
There Shri Nathji sat in a verandah outside the hostel rooms and met the students. What had at first begun as a casual meeting, took the form of a deeply moving and powerful spiritual experience.
Even as the students gathered around Shri Nathji, spiritu­al waves of love divine appeared to engulf their hearts. Their inner beings thrilled with a bliss altogether inexpressible and unique. A divine intoxication overpowered them and a spiritual ecstasy appeared to flood their souls. The gates of a mighty revelation appeared to open, and the Full Glory of Shri Nathji’s Divine Form made itself manifest. It was a feeling much too powerful for any human being.
Some students fell down upon the ground in a semi-conscious state, some wept and laughed, in turns, a spiritual radiance came over their features.  God had revealed Himself to them, suddenly and powerfully.
"Enough!" they said, "enough, we cannot bear to look upon thy real form any longer! Conceal thy real self! Switch off the light!"
Shri Nathji’s face had an unusual glow upon it. His eyes were shut and his hands raised upwards in a gesture of blessing. Upon hearing their prayers, he got up and switched off the light in the verandah.
"Your divine radiance floods our souls even in this darkness", the students said, ‘it is blinding; we cannot bear it any longer. Shut off your inner light. Its brilliance is too much. Your real form is too overwhelming!”
The principal of the college, Shri Raghubar Dayal, arrived on the scene when he heard of the strange phenomenon. He was introduced to Shri Nathji, and immediately begged that he, too, be granted a vision of the inner light.

Sanatan Dharma College was established in the year 1916 in Lahore. The founders of the college were great Sanatanis Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya and Pandit Deen Dayal Vachaspati. During the partition of India in 1947, the college was uprooted from Lahore and was rehabilitated in 1948 near Ambala Cantt. After partition in 1947, the Muhammadan Anglo Oriental College (abbreviated to M.A.O. College)  which was originally in Amritsar was shifted to Lahore, in the building this building of Sanatan Dharma College. So now the Sanatan Dharma College is known as Govt. M.A.O. College Lahore and one can see the same buildings were Shri Nathji had given his sermon to the students.
