And it was thus in March 1946 that Shri Nathji went to Chandrapur where the entire city turned out to welcome him and the place soon took on the appearance of Mathura where Lord Krishna had lived. People felt the living presence of God. Shri Popat Lal, the senior citizen of the town, was instantly converted along with his family members, Shri Girdhar Deo and Prabhavati. The Bhutts were overwhelmed and left behind several portraits of Shri Nathji and Mateshwari in the Radha Krishna costume.
