[1st minute: Respected Chandrabhan Sharma ji, his son, and all the members of his family—meeting them today, I do not know how time passed; it went by in great joy. They are devotees of the Adi Shakti. Where they had been lost all this time, I do not know. Today, I feel such joy, as if after ages I have met some of my own close people.

I was not aware that in Babei there exists an organization called “Manav Dharma, Vishwa Dharma, Vishwa Manav, Vishwa Manav Dharma.” Although I lived in Mumbai for about 22 years and have visited this place many times.

As you said, this is a very sacred place. And as you mentioned, it is also true that Shri Rama and Shri Sita began their forest exile (vanagamana) from here. It was an extremely sacred and beautiful place, and it must be restored to that same state again.]
