Dr. K.N.Saxena

 In the beginning of January 1985 that Dr. K.N.Saxena, a Zoologist of international fame, suddenly discovers Shri Nathji in Delhi. He had been living in Kenya and had no idea of Shri Nathji’s whereabouts since 1963, when Shri Nathji had left for London.
He had first met Shri Nathji at Allahabad in 1942 when his guru, a certain Shri Tripathi had brought him to Shri Nathji’s darbaar. (At that time he was studing at Government Inter College, Allahabad)
Dr. Saxena developed great faith in Shri Nathji  and met him in Mussoorie in 1961 and 1962 with his wife, Savitri, and his children. Dr. Saxena recalled with great pride how he would go for walks on the Mall Road along with Shri Nathji at Mussoorie.
He recollected how once Shri Nathji had introduced him to someone as “The Head of the Department of Zoology at Delhi University” when in fact he was then only an Associate Professor.
He discovered, much to his surprise after his return to Delhi from Mussoorie, that he had been promoted to the post of the Head of the Department of Zoology at Delhi University!
Shri Nathji’s words, though uttered casually, had turned out to be true.
Dr. Saxena carried a photograph of Shri Nathji and Mahamateshwari with him, which had been taken by him at Savitri Nivas, Mussoorie, and said it would remain with him till the end of his days.

Mrs. Bhutt had spoken about Shri Nathji to them at Jabalpur and given them her book to read. R.P.Sinha and his wife had been so impressed that they had decided to come with Gangabai Bhutt to New Delhi and secure the darshan of Shri Nathji.

Mrs. R.P.Sinha is seen the next morning washing the utensils in the lawn outside, along with the servant, in the household of Shri Nathji. They have found God upon earth exactly like Mrs. Gangabai Bhutt had told them.
The conversion of R.P. Sinha and his wife are major events that reveal once again the divinity of Shri Nathji to the people.
For years afterwards, Shri R.P. Sinha continued to spread the message of Shri Nathji to the people at Jabalpur. He would hold satsangs at his home and invite members of the bar and judiciary to come and listen to the tape recordings of Shri Nathji. Many a soul was converted.

Zubin Mehta


Shri Nathji used to like Zubin Mehta orchestra music.  Shri Nathji and Priya Nath watch Zubin Mehta conducting the New York Philharmonic Orchestra on television on the night of September 12, 1984, even as they get ready for the intended trip to Mussoorie the next day.
 Shri Nathji loves to listen to orchestras and always praises their cheerful note. Shri Nathji used to recall how a band played in the Mussoorie Band Stand at Library during the days of the British and how people would stand around and listen in large numbers.
 Shri Nathji always praised the British for the cheerful manner in which they sat down to eat with an orchestra in attendance. He would compare this with the Indian habit of speaking of worrisome things while eating. This is his photo taken in 1985 about the time when Shri Nathji used to watch him on television.

Faquir Chand Bedi

 In 1984, Shri Nathji visits the house of the famous Delhi advocate, Faquir Chand Bedi, who is at once taken up by Shri Nathji’s personality. A certain Mrs. Sachdeva, who had known Shri Nathji in Mussoorie, also comes in at the same time, and goes into a state of bliss on seeing Shri Nathji and listening to his words.
Faquir Chand Bedi says to Shri Nathji:
“I have the habit of observing people very minutely. The manner in which you spread happiness into the hearts of all is proof enough that you are God. Aur kisse Bhagwan kaihte hain. What else would one seek in God!”
This was the one and only time this famous lawyer had set eyes on Shri Nathji. It was Shri Nathji’s manner of giving salvation to people. The lawyer was to pass away in the year ahead. Perhaps it was to give his last darshan and blessings to the noble soul that Shri Nathji had visited him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Late Shri Faquir Chand Bedi (popularly known as F.C. Bedi) was a prominent Delhi civil lawyer and a towering figure in the city's legal fraternity. He served as the President of the Delhi Bar Association (DBA) for a record five terms, establishing a benchmark in the bar's history.
Practicing primarily out of the Tis Hazari Courts Complex, he was widely regarded as one of Delhi's leading civil advocates
His legal legacy continues through his family, including his grandson, Senior Advocate Sacchin Puri, who has served as Vice President of the Delhi High Court Bar Association.
In November 2026, the Delhi Bar Association formally honored his contributions by inaugurating the F.C. Bedi Conference Hall (Civil Side) at the Tis Hazari Courts in the presence of Acting Chief Justice Nitin Wasudeo Sambre and other judges of the Delhi High Court.

Seema Mukerjee of Sanjay Composers & Printers

 Priya Nath and Shri Nathji think in terms of publishing a small souvenir in the form of a book to commemorate the World Prayer Day. Priya Nath types out a manuscript containing the events that led up to the World Prayer Day and the tremendous success of the one-man crusade of Shri Nathji.
Both Priya Nath and Shri Nathji recollect a printing press, Sanjay Composers & Printers, which they had visited in South Delhi and which was located close to the Uphaar Theatre in the Green Park Extension area.
At the time that Shri Nathji had gone there along with Priya Nath, several months ago, the proprietor of the press was absent.
n July 1984 Shri Nathji thought of the press and sent a devotee, Shri Alok Chand Sharma, to speak to the proprietor about the printing of the souvenir on the World Prayer Day.
The proprietor, a certain Mrs. Seema Mukerjee, was so taken up by Sharma’s description of Shri Nathji that she came to Shri Nathji’s home for his darshan and blessings.
Even as Seema Mukerjee comes before Shri Nathji his divine flow of words goes out towards her, flooding her heart and soul. Shri Nathji says to her:

“I have not come to show you the way, but to take you to the destination!”

Shri Nathji tells her his favorite parable of the Wall of Laughter–Deevaare Kaihkahaa.
There is a Wall, on one side of which is the world and on the other side a very fascinating sight. Whoever climbs on the wall looks at the beautiful scene on the other side and breaks out into a blissful laughter–and then falls over into that beautiful land, never to return!
But there is one who climbs on the Wall, looks upon the Beauty on the other side and is about to fall over–when he thinks of his brethren in the world of suffering. Instead of falling over to the other side of the wall, he returns to his world so that he can tell others about the Bliss he has experienced and urge them to come to the Wall along with him. Such a one becomes a Saviour of mankind.
Shri Nathji also tells her of the man who was wandering thirsty in the desert when he saw an oasis, but he was not sure whether it was real or a mirage. The only way he could find out was by going there and partaking of the water. Spiritual truths could only be realised through experience.
Shri Nathji frequently refers to Seema Mukherjee as “my child, my daughter,” and she is overwhelmed. A long unfulfilled spiritual thirst in her seemed to find fulfilment.
She says later: “I felt as if I had reached my destination on setting eyes on Shri Nathji!”
 

The manuscript for the Souvenir on the World Prayer Day is given to her for printing in her press. Shri Nathji ensures that she be given full payment for the work that has to be taken from her press. Shri Nathji never used his spiritual status to take a concession from any professional who renders him service of any kind.

In november 1984, The World Prayer Day souvenir in book form is finally completed. Seema Mukherjee, the proprietor of the printing press, comes to see Shri Nathji and is enthralled by His Divine Radiance, saying:

“Aaj barri khushee milee. Today, I have obtained untold happiness!”

Shri Nathji had called her “my child”. When Shri Nathji was returning from Mussoorie on September 27, 1984, he had said at the door of Savitri Nivas: “I am going to Delhi to meet my daughter, Seema Mukherjee, who is waiting for me.”
The World Prayer Day Souvenir is beautifully printed and has the picture of Shri Nathji on the cover. It contains in brief the entire crusade of the World Prayer Day, and is a prized reminder of the effort of Shri Nathji and Priya Nath to save the world from total annihilation.
Shri Nathji and Priya Nath even think about an inauguration function for the book in an auditorium. But the idea is soon forgotten.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanjay Composers & Printers historically operated out of the Uphaar Cinema Building in Green Park Extension, South Delhi (New Delhi - 110016). The firm was officially registered as a printing press on December 3, 1975 (Registration No. 3406), employing around 20 workers at the time.

The press handled book and publication printing during the 1980s, including works such as Giani Zail Singh: Life and Work Notably, it printed issues of Puratattva (such as the 1983 edition), the annual bulletin of the Indian Archaeological Society archived by the Archaeological Survey of India. 

Competition Success Magazine

 In 1984 after the World Prayer Day in June 24th the Competition Success Magazine comes out and Priya Nath glances through its pages and finds to his great delight the following:

Days of Importance:

Buddha Purnima Day
National Solidarity Day
Red Cross Day
World Prayer Day June 24

Shri Nathji’s World Prayer Day has become a part of History. It is a moment of great jubilation for Priya Nath as he shows the Magazine to Shri Nathji and the devotees.
