Shri Maharaj Ji came to Mumbai accepting this invitation. Accommodation at Fanas Wadi and Satsang Discourses were arranged at Nara-Narayan Mandir Madhavbaug. One day it so happened that a devotee from Vile Parle invited Shri Maharaj Ji for lunch at his residence. Maharaj Ji was going by car to Vile Parle. Maharaj Ji was looking out on both sides of the road while travelling. There was no Temple visible on the way from Madhavbaug to Vile Parle. Big - big religious places of different community and other sects were seen in opulence. Shri Maharaj Ji poured out his heart felt observation in front of all. There were many eminent personalities present at that time and each one favored Shri Maharaj Ji's point. It was decided to execute the determination in Vile Parle as it took place while traveling to Vile Parle. Spontaneously all of them gave suggestion to bring up one attractive Ashram and vowed to bestow their offerings according to one's own capacity.

Allocation of Land Search for land started without delay for this divine work, where a magnificent Temple, Satsang Bhawan, Sant Niwas, Gaushala, Dispensary etc. could be built.

This is my intuition work. So I have no reference to this article. I came to mind that the mobile company considers the month to be 28 days, so I divide 365 days by 28 days, then I received 13 months. When I multiplied 13 months by 28 days I got 364 days. Just then I searched the whole detail by searching the internet and made it a calendar of 28 days and 13 months. Prahlad111 (talk) 16:29, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
