• Bachchulal Agrawal of Akola tested Gajanan Maharaj. He gave Maharaj Valuables and gold coins worth nearly Ten thousand rupees. Maharaj threw away all the things saying he did not need such worldly things. Instead Maharaj gave Aashirwada to Bachchulal that his wish to construct a Ram Mandir would be fulfilled.
• Maharaj ordered Pitambar, the nearest devotee to abandon the Math. Pitambar went to kondoli; sat on one of the trees in a Aamrai (trees of mangoes ). When asked he said that he was the disciple of Gajanan Maharaj. Nobody believed. Instead people asked to make a dry mango tree green, otherwise they would beat him. Pitambar had no other way, so he cried, wept and prayed Gajanan Maharaj and to the astonishment of all the villagers the dry tree became green. All of them hugged Pitambar and shouted 'Gajanan Maharaj ki jai'.
• Due to the feuds in the town Gajanan Maharaj decided to have a place that belonged to none.
• Hari Patil and others, on the advice of Maharaj, put an application to the then collector of the District Buldhana, Mr. Curry. The Collector granted an acre of land. The work for the new Math began.
