Shri Narsikar and Shri Tanksale of Nagpur top all devotees in bringing out a fantastic picture of Shri Nathji in the Hitawada, a leading daily of Nagpur. The picture is printed on the first page of its Sunday edition. The picture has been beautifully coloured in green, yellow and pink by Shri Narsikar’s photographer friend. Shri Nathji is shown in a green achkan, wearing a yellow turban, and a countenance that is pink in colour. It is the same picture that Priya Nath had given to the Indian Express for the Sapru House function, except that it has been beautifully coloured. Both Shri Nathji and Priya Nath are in raptures about the magnificent work done by Shri Narsikar and Shri Tanksale, and Shri Nathji’s blessings go out towards the Hitavada newspaper.
On Januery 2th, 1984, HH Shri Pyiya Nathji also sends a personal typed letter to Shri Tanksale, congratulation him for publishing the photo in Hitawada. Shri Tanksale ji has always preserved that letter very carefully with him and photo of that same letter can be seen bellow -
Shri Nathji’s devotee Rekha Dodeja narrates a miracle in Delhi where the newspaper Hitvada does not come at all.
She says: “I was standing outside my home thinking intensely of Shri Nathji, when a piece of paper came blowing in the wind and fell beside me.
“It was one page of the Nagpur newspaper, Hitavada, which carried Shri Nathji's coloured portrait!
“Nagpur is about fifteen hundred miles away–how could the paper have been blown over by the winds over such a large distance?
“I came running to Shri Nathji's place–only to find that he had received the same picture by post from Nagpur!”
