It was around 1967 when the Akshar Purushottam Mandir of Kanthariya was almost complete. Modubha and other devotees from the village came to Gondal to meet Yogiji Maharaj to discuss the inauguration. Yogiji Maharaj said, "Take Pramukh Swami and Sant Swami." So according to Yogiji Maharaj's command, Pramukh Swami and Sant Swami came to Kanthariya.

Three days before the murti-pratishtha, a parayan was organized in which Pramukh Swami and Sant Swami both delivered spiritual discourses twice a day.

One afternoon, after finishing the morning discourse, Pramukh Swami came to the kitchen. He noticed that Devcharan Swami was alone rolling puris. There was no one to fry them. Seeing this, Pramukh Swami quickly turned a dirty old oil can upside down, sat down on it, and began placing the rolled puris one by one into the frying pan. Tomorrow, the same Pramukh Swami would install the murtis in the mandir. But today, here he was frying puris sitting on an old tin can.
