Around 200 years ago, many events were occurring that would shape our world. America was fighting for its freedom against the British, while the British were slowly gaining power over India. World wide fighting was the solution. No greater good was coming out of this warfare. There was no man to stop these actions or speak of peace. However, there was a great speaker; only a few British officers knew of his talks. Those that lived in Gujarat knew of his glory. They met a sadhu like no other who swayed them with his humbleness and simplicity. This sadhu was no other than our own Aksharbrahma Gunatitanand Swami.

Gunatitanand Swami's humbleness brought peace to people's minds along with astonishment. Once the mahant of Tarnetar came to the Junagadh mandir. At this time, Gunatitanand Swami was sweeping the floor. Immediately, the mahant asked Swami, "Where is the mahant of this mandir? I would like to meet him." Gunatitanand Swami told him, "He will be with you soon. Please wait in the mandir." Swami led him to the assembly hall in the mandir and then left to wash up.

Upon returning, Gunatitanand Swami walked into the room and said, "The mahant has come. What would you like to ask?" The mahant of Tarnetar was dumbfounded by this remark. "If you are the mahant, then why were you cleaning the mandir?" Swami naturally replied, "Here, one who does seva is the mahant!"

Once, there was a man who had no control over his sense of taste. If the food did not taste good, he would yell at his wife and throw his food away. His family came to Gunatitanand Swami and asked for help. In response, Swami told his family, "Bring him to Junagadh mandir." The man came to the mandir and met Swami. Swami talked to him for a while and then told him, "I must go for lunch now." The man thought to himself, "He is the mahant. I wonder what kind of rich and delicious food he eats."
