Kanjai Village

 The village of Kanjai is the native place of Shri Nathji’s devotee Shri Ganesh.  A relative of Mrs. Gangabai Bhutt, Shri Ganesh, was a Pujaari-a priest-in a temple at Kanjai village. The temple was of Sita Rama and contained life-sized idols of the deities. One day he sat in the temple, worried about the marriage of his daughter, and pondering over Mrs. Bhutt’s experiences. "Can it be true that God has come down to earth as an avatar?" He kept asking himself.

There was a sudden knock on the door. And much to the astonishment of the pujaari, the idol of Lord Rama left its pedestal and began walking towards the door!

The door was opened by the idol of Lord Rama, and a figure resplendent with divine beauty entered the temple. The idol escorted the figure to its pedestal and bade him sit upon its throne, the Singhaasan.

And then the idol stood to one side before the living personality on the throne and folded its hands. It called out to the pujaari who had been transformed into a pillar of amazement.

"Panditjee! Look! Here is He who will solve all your problems in life. He is God incarnate come down to earth. He is performing his leela on earth, performing the part He wishes to play. Very few persons can recognise him. Only the genuine de­votees of God know of him. He is Shri Nathji!"

Later, the pujaari arrived in Jabalpur and went straight to the house of Mrs. Bhutt. He fell down before her and began to weep. The narration of this powerful experience was much too overwhelm­ing for him. He wanted to meet Shri Nathji immediately. Mrs. Bhutt gave him Shri Nathji’s address at Allahabad.

The pujaari took the first train to Allahabad and arrived at Shri Nathji’s residence. There he received the disconcerting news that Shri Nathji had left Allahabad three days ago. The man fell down upon the ground and began to cry.

Just then the door of Shri Nathji’s house opened and Shri Nathji appeared before him with Prasaad in his hands. The man was filled with divine happiness when he saw the figure that had entered his temple in the person of Shri Nathji. His soul found fulfilment.
