YogijiMaharaj cared for the devotees and their families. Hewas sure to see that even the children in the family were not left unexposed to the ideals of Satsang.
March 2nd, 1966. YogijiMaharaj was performing his morning puja at Mumbai Mandir. He beckoned a devotee to come to him.
"How many sons do you have?' Swami asked.
"Three."
"One of them is here but where are the other two?" Swami asked eagerly.
"The other two are young. They refuse to come," the devotee answered a little embarrassed.
"You don't want them to come to this Satsang! Do you want to yoke them to this worldly life? You must bring them here!" Swami insisted.
The devotee replied, "Swami, presently they've got exams so they won't come."
"But they can at least come to see me for two minutes! I shall bless them for their exams."
The devotee agreed. YogijiMaharaj then explained why he had been insistent.
He said, "If I hadn't asked you about your sons then ShrijiMaharaj would have asked me why I hadn't enquired. Now that I have told you to bring them to me, my part of the duty is over. Maharaj will have no reason to question me."
