The 23rd of June was the main day. A procession was to proceed through the streets of Akola. And a celebration with a sermon, bhajans, aarti, prasaad, planned at the Pramila Tai Hall that same evening. But would the powers of darkness permit it? The time for the procession approached nigh. And immediately dark and threatening clouds gathered in the skies. Devotees from Akola, Nagpur, Amravati, Buldana stood in the open, fearful of a deluge.
And the rain began beating down, trying to increase its intensity every moment. Would the procession have to be cancelled?
