Dakor
Next day, when Ghanshyamji
asked Shriji about returning to Vrindavan he explained, “The sandal offering of
Shri Tirupati Balaji has come unasked for, to my hand. It means He is calling
me. Having his darshan I shall reach Vrindavan in eight days time. Both of you go
back to Vrindavan.”
However, Thakurji thought
that it was better to stay back with Shriji. Taking Bhikaji along with him,
Ghanshyamji got everyone's reservation done, and conveyed this plan to
Vrindavan. Shriji, Thakurji and Kusumji reached Tirupati Balaji and arranged
for two rooms to stay there.
After taking rest they went to have darshan of Shri Balaji in the evening. Seeing the long queue of devotees waiting they were kind of disappointed that they might not have His darshan that day.

Shri Banke Bihari Lal Vrindavan
Our Bihariji in Vrindavan is perfect. There is
no inconvenience in having His darshan,” remarked Kusumji.
Hearing this Shriji spoke
up, “Is that so! “And it seemed as if he had got into an avesha, an emotionally charged state like
receiving an order.
”Come along this way!” urged
Shriji .
Taking them out of the
queue, not knowing how he managed to take them from God knows where, Shriji
made them stand in the front row.
Two ministers had come to
Tirupati Balaji from Madras. The S.P. and the D.S.P. were moving ahead to see
to the arrangements made for them.
”Can I come?” Shriji asked
the S.P.”
Without turning back the S.P.
signalled with his hand.
'Come
along!' he said
All three of them followed
the S.P. speedily and reached a door. This particular door was right in front
of the mandir and would open only on festivals. It had a big lock clamped on
it. All of them stood at this spot. On seeing Shri Ramnath Goenka standing
inside the door Ghanshyamji told Shriji that he had seen Goenkaji with Shri
Baba in Gita Vatika, Gorkahpur.
When Goenkaji saw them standing outside he was drawn towards them and came close. Getting the door opened quickly he got these three inside. Soon after, he asked the priest to make them have darshan of Balaji even before the ministers who were standing there.

Shri Tirupati Balaji
”There will be Netra Darshan[4]
tomorrow. Come for the Mangala Arti[5] at 6 AM in
the morning. I will also be there,” he said.
Next day, Shri Ramnathji
Goenka was waiting for them when they reached to have Netra Darshan during the
Mangala Arti. He helped them have a good darshan.
Shriji, Ghanshyamji and
Kusumji stayed in Tirupati for three days. Without standing in a queue they
would straightaway reach the mandir and thus kept attaining the joy of
darshan.
” He (Balaji) has inspired
me to come here, so he had to make all the
arrangements,” said Shriji.
Vrindavan
So far the entire incident
appears to be quite ordinary.
When Shri Thakurji met Shri
Ramnath Goenkaji at Gita Vatika in Gorakhpur two months after the pilgrimage he
was grateful,” You made us have very good darshan in Tirupati Balaji.”
Shri Ramnath Goenka
Thakurji again met Goenkaji
in Dalmia House after this episode. Ghanshyamji
deliberately repeated this incident to him.
“You are under a
misconception. It wasn't me. It must be some other person,” Goenkaji repeated the same words,
