Mahant of Akshar Mandir
Shastriji Maharaj appointed Yogiji Maharaj as
the Mahant of Akshar Mandir, Gondal, on the tenth day of the bright
half of Vaishakh, VS 1990 (1934). Despite being the head, Yogiji Maharaj
performed the maha-puja of Akshar Mandir, maintained the accounts
ledger and attended to the needs and comforts of visitors. Once he
was found cooking the meal because the sadhu who served as a cook
was not there. When asked why he was cooking he replied, "Because
the sadhu who cooks has fallen ill. Today, by the grace of God I have
got this rare chance of cooking and serving God. For a long time I
had been thinking of preparing food for Thakorji." Even though the
sadhu who normally cooked the meals was loitering Yogiji Maharaj did
not complain but took up the service himself.
