In the second part of the collection of his remeniscences Justice Arunachalam records his experiences of Grace at the feet of his Master Yogi Ramsuratkumar in his natural, free and frank manner It contains detailed accounts of the development of the ashram complex and the activities under the unfailing guidance of Gurudev

Dr.Anjanikumar of Delhi, a keen devotee and manufacturer of tiles offered to supply the entire quantity required for the flooring of the Pradhan Mandir. The samples of tiles were selected by Yogiji himself in 1998 Yet, the proposal did not materialize. In November 2000. on His return to Tiruvannamalai from Ramana Clinic at Chennai. Yogiji decided to complete the cement flooring urgently as a temporary measure. It was therefore completed in time before His Mahasamadhi in February 2001 It was in March 2004, as the date for Kumbhabhisheka of the Samadhi Shrine was fast approaching, Smt. Kavitha Sarathy, an architect from Bombay and devotee of Swami Nityananda Maharaj of Ganeshpuri and of Yogiji, came for darsan and suggested Kota stones for flooring and Jaisalmer and white marble for border. They were identical to the samples chosen by Yogiji six years earlier. The flooring was accordingly completed very fast under her direct supervision in time for Kumbhabhisheka in June 2004.

The episode brings out clearly how Divine Will ("Father's Work") unfolds Itself in Its own time and how Yogiji, an Avadhoota and Sarva Sankalpa-Sannyasi, who has no separate initiative of His own but the prompting of the Divine, was always open to It with complete surrender.

Yogiji conveys to Justice Arunachalam, the Divine Command that the ashram should not have Corpus Fund. If the devotees serve the ashram with total surrender and firm conviction in the Lord's assurance in Gita "Yogakshemam Vahami Aham" ("1 shall look after the Yogakshema of the devotees who have surrendered to Me"), funds will come by His unfailing Will as it is His work. Yogiji follows the footsteps of His Guru. Purushottam Papa Ramdas.
