Chapter - 36 Summary
After building the Bochasan temple, Swamishri expressed his wish to build a temple in Sarangpur. At the request of devotees, he visited Sarangpur and indicated the exact place where the temple would be built, saying it was Maharaj’s wish.
He asked Motibhai to compose a kirtan for the temple. Motibhai initially had doubts due to lack of resources and the incomplete Bochasan temple.
However, by Swamishri’s grace, Motibhai had a divine vision of a grand three-spired temple with golden kalash and idols. His doubts disappeared, and he began composing the kirtan.
This shows Swamishri’s divine power and his ability to accomplish such great works.

When Swamishri visited Rajkot, Jina Bhakta had a strong desire to see him. At first sight, he developed deep attachment and devotion toward Swamishri.

The construction faced many challenges such as lack of money, manpower, and strong opposition. Despite this, saints and devotees remained firm and continued their service.

Chapter - 39 Summary
Many obstacles were created to stop the Sarangpur temple work, but it continued steadily. As the installation day approached, opponents tried to mislead the ruler of Limdi to stop the work.
The ruler visited Swamishri and discussed the matter. Devotees explained Swamishri’s spiritual power to him.
When asked about the idols, Swamishri boldly stated that all hardships were endured for Sahajanand Swami and Gunatitanand Swami, so their idols would be placed in the central shrine, while Radha-Krishna would be placed in another section.
Hearing this fearless clarity, the ruler accepted Swamishri’s decision and withdrew his objection. Thus, the opposition failed.

Chapter - 40 Summary
The construction of the Sarangpur temple was progressing with great enthusiasm, with saints and devotees serving tirelessly. Balmukund Swami praised their service, saying it was powered by Akshar’s liberated souls.
The temple was completed, and the installation ceremony was fixed on Vaishakh Sud 6, Samvat 1972. Though less food (sheero) was prepared, Swamishri assured that nothing would fall short.
During the ceremony, after the yajna, the idols were installed by Swamishri. Despite confusion during food distribution, Swamishri arranged everything, and miraculously thousands were fed without shortage.
This divine event impressed everyone. Later in Mojidad, Swamishri showed humility by saying grand welcomes do not suit a sadhu, revealing his greatness.
