Bhaiya took him to Guruji. He looked at the sketch and asked,
“Are you only an artist or a Swayamsevak too?” The
Swayamsevak said, “I am a Swayamsevak and attend the Shakha
regularly.” At this, Guruji said, “When I was expressing my inner
feelings through my speech using all my energy, you were busy
making this sketch. This work was not meant to be done at that

Once the Param Pujya Guruji visited Andhra Pradesh. The
scheduled time for the train to arrive was about 4 in the morning.
Because the station was a main junction, so the train had to stop
there for three quarters of an hour. The Swayamsevaks thought
that the Param Pujya Guruji would be able to finish his morning

use of bathroom is prohibited when the train is standing at a
station. Because I abide by this rule, so I would not be able to
use the bathroom when the train is standing at the station.”
You can just think that millions of people travel in the trains,
and all of them must have read this notice, but how many are
the people who have abided by it?

Dedication Towards Shakha
After the demise of the Man. Dr. Hedgewar, the command

of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh came in the hands of the
Param Pujya Guruji. Prior to Guruji, there were a number of
experienced Swayamsevaks in the Sangh. The country was faced
with the question of independence, the movements were being
held at every place. In such a time, many volunteers would ask
Guruji, flowing in spirits. Once in a meeting, a volunteer said,
