On seeing the intensity of Istafa Khan’s desire, Shri Nathji went with him to Lucknow. This was to be the first of his several visits to the city of Lucknow. Truly the city had become blessed, after Mussoorie.
Shri Nathji stayed at the house of Nawab Istafa Khan at Lucknow. Khanna and his family were overjoyed on seeing Shri Nathji at Lucknow. They prayed to him repeatedly to come and live with them in their home in the city.
However Shri Nathji was loathe to part from Istafa Khan and stayed with him for thirteen days before going to the house of Khanna.
