In 1980 when the Mayor of Nairobi, Nathan Kahara, heard that Swamishri was undertaking a spiritual tour of Kenya, he thought it proper to honor Swamishri on behalf of Nairobi City Council. For this, he arranged a grand civic reception at the City Council Hall.

After the formalities were over, the Lord Mayor proudly stood up to present the "Crest of Nairobi" to Swamishri.

Swamishri also got up but gestured with his arm to present the Crest to the murti of Thakorji which was beside him.

The Mayor was surprised to see such single-minded devotion of Swamishri.

Later, in his address, Swamishri remarked, "God will bless the Lord Mayor as he has presented the Crest to Him."

Swamishri offers or directs all honor to the Lord first.
