When Shri Nathji visited Akola in 1978, He was given the honour reserved for the highest dignitaries visiting the city–a reception at the famed Pramila Tai Hall of the city.
The Pramila Tai Hall of Akola saw a scene the likes of which it had never seen before. The intelligentsia of the entire city had turned out to listen to Shri Nathji's words that night.
Latter on 22nd of June 1978, Shri Nathji's lecture was organized at Pramilatai Oak Hall as part of Shri Nathji's birthday celebrations. It rained heavily that day, but the Hall was well filled, though not packed.
On 23rd of June on the day of the birthday, a celebration with a sermon, bhajans, aarti, prasaad, was held at the Pramila Tai Hall. The entire hall was packed with people. The devotees, Bal Bhagat, Bal Ojarkar and others had sung their songs. People were waiting with breathless expectancy to listen to the words of Shri Nathji even as he sat before them glowing with heavenly light.
Shri Nathji said in a powerful thundering voice:
“MAIN MUKT HOON! NITYA MUKT HOON!
I AM IMMORTAL! I AM ETERNALLY IMMORTAL!
“And yet, there is no one in greater bondage than I am. And I shall remain in bondage until the last man is set free!
