Prannath Leelaamrit - Chapter 17

First, Gaangji surrendered his soul to Devchandra and received the Taartam initiation. He served Devchandra, considering him to be the embodiment of the Supreme Being.

Devchandra's wife, Leelbai, served her husband with great devotion. Shri Raj granted Leelbai His divine vision and blessings. Devchandra had two children: Bihari and Yamuna. Bihari's soul was Ratan Bai's from the supreme abode, but he was not inclined toward spirituality. Yamuna, however, was completely devoted to the Supreme God.

When Haridas of Bhojnagar recognized Devchandra's divine form, he clasped his feet. Haridas served Devchandra, bringing him joy, and surrendered his soul at his feet. This was a unique event in which the guru surrendered to his disciple.

As a result, Haridas's entire family came under Devchandra's protection. His wife had some understanding of Devchandra's divine nature. However, his son, Vrindavan, and daughter-in-law, Moolibai, became completely devoted to Devchandra.

Ganga, Gaangji's mother, was also devoted to Devchandra. He fulfilled all her wishes.

However, Gaangji's wife, Bhanbai, did not have much faith. She would ask before serving.

Gaangji had two sons: Shyam and Maan. Shyam lacked the soul of the Supreme Abode, so despite hearing many discourses, he did not develop faith. Shyam's wife, Ajbai, was sincerely devoted and always ready to serve. Maan was also devoted to service. Devchandra recognized Sukhbai's soul in Maan's son.

Gaangji had three siblings: Kheta Bhai, Govind, and Baalbai. Kheta Bhai lived in Arab, but his wife, Heerbai, found great solace in serving Devchandra. Heerbai's son was named Dhan. Govind had no interest in religious activities and kept his distance from them. Baalbai joined the Sundarsaath community after receiving the Taartam initiation.

Among the Sundarsaath was a man named Jeevraj who was believed to embody Taanbai's soul. His mother, Bachhai, also had a complete understanding of Devchandra's divine form.

Besides Navtanpuri, Sundarsaath came from many places, including Junagadh, Diu, Mandai, and Thatthaanagar, to listen to Devchandra's divine discourses and serve him with sincere devotion. They recognized him as Shri Raj, the Supreme God.
