The day was the 7th of May, and the year 1939. The place was Lahore, then in India.
It was the day when HH Shri Bhola Nathji, son of Shri Devi Das Mehta, alias, HH Shri Babaji Bhagwan, was getting married to Savitri Devi, daughter of Lala Hargopal Khanna, a senior advocate of Lahore and All India Legal Adviser to the Punjab National Bank.
The condition set by HH Shri Babaji to Lala Hargopal Khanna was: "Let no one in the bridegroom's party go away unsatisfied."
Arrangements had been made in the bride's home by Lala Hargopal Khanna for 500 guests of the bridegroom's party. Cooks had been called from Kashmir.
HH Shri Bhola Nathji, or HH Shri Nathji, as he was popularly known in Lahore, was astride the traditional bridegroom's mare, looking like a Prince from another world. The Glory of Divine Light from his face was impossible to look upon.
Although the bridegroom's procession had set out with a few hundred people, by the time it crossed the streets and roads of Lahore the number of persons had swelled to hundreds and maybe even thousands, as the poor of the streets joined in, the sadhus and mahatmas, the faqueer's joined in, as all the shopkeepers came out of their shops and joined in! It appeared as if he entire city had joined in this holy baraat of the Prince of Divinity,
A Britisher in his long car and traditional haughtiness tried to cut through the crowd- only to see the engine of his car stalled and the car halted! He saluted Shri Nathji and said: "I salute the magnificent being on the horse!"
Lala Hargopal was worried. How would he feed so many guests? But his daughter, Savitri Devi, who had absolute faith that she was marrying God Himself, said to him:
"Father don't be worried! Place Shri Nathji's photo in the kitchen!"
And lo and behold! A miracle occurred! The food appeared to multiply to such an extent that all who had come as guests of the bridegroom ate to their heart's content!
And it was thus that the wedding was concluded, which made Shri Nathji's Avatar-hood complete.
The girl-friends of Savitri Devi said to her:
"Savitri! Your bridegroom is the most Beautiful Being in existence!"
The wedding came to a conclusion and a new chapter opened in the life of HH Shri Bhola Nathji Bhagwan as a householder and married man, still serving the public and bringing peace and beatitude to countless folk relieving them of their ills and sorrows with Savitri Devi by his side as his life companion.
