In 1887 (Samvat 1943), Bhagatji Maharaj and a group of devotees, were coming from Mahuva to Gadhada. There were heavy rains on the way and it was extremely dark. They couldn’t see the road. The devotees became fed up with rocks hurting their feet. They had covered 50 km and had about 80 km more to go. No one had the strength to go further. They didn’t know whether they could really make it.

There was a well at edge of the village of Sukhpur. Everyone was exhausted and sat down. Everyone decided to quit and go back. One of the devotees, Dosa Maharaj, thought that the only way they could reach Gadhada would be for Bhagatji Maharaj to perform a miracle.

And so, he went to Bhagatji Maharaj and requested, “Bhagatji, our legs have become as stiff as pillars. We don’t have the strength to take another step. You will have to perform a miracle for us to reach Gadhada. Either, bring Gadhada here or relieve us of this fatigue.”

Bhagatji had everyone sit in a circle and hold the thumb of their neighbour. They closed their eyes and began doing bhajan.

After some time they awoke. They were astonished to find themselves on the banks of the River Ghela in Gadhada. In an instant, they had reached Gadhada.
