DOMESTIC LIFE ; ITS REPERCUSSIONS Fragments of the saint’s private life I have published so far, for the purpose of maintaining the continuity of narration. A few more details I will be describing, to help readers and devotees to understand the difficulties Mai-Swarupa had to contend with, and to give a complete picture of the man and saint. It is by no means easy to separate the progress on the temporal side from that on the spiritual side. THE DREAMY BOY Markand was an absentminded, dreamy sort of boy in the primary school. He did not like to play with the boys of his age; he did not even know the names of the games his classmates played. He was unable to name the different articles of dress in household. Names of ordinary cereals commonly used in homes were not known to the boy (Maiji). When his teacher once asked him what he had eaten at breakfast Markand could not answer. He was always introspective and was, unknown to himself, paving the way for future spiritual attainment. F A M I L Y I had earlier published Markand Bhai’s marriage to Smt. Dinwant Behan. A daughter and two sons were born to them. The daughter Smt. Bhakti Behan was married to Shri Arvind Buch, a lawyer of Baroda. The first son Sri Puranjan Bhai was an officer in a Bank in Ahmadabad and was living there with his wife, IIa Behan and their children. The second son Sri Lalit Ranjan Bhai was an officer in a firm in Rajkot and is living there with his wife Smt. Neela Behan and their children. All the children of the Saint and their spouses are Mai-ists. RELIGIOUS TEXTS Till his twenty-fourth year Markand Bhai’s favorite scripture was Saptashati. He often made experiments to prove the efficacy of repeating Saptashati. From 1909 he began to repeat Lalita Sahasra Nama also. Sacred Texts of all religions interested him. There was progressive development of his religious outlook. Jay mai, Jay markand mai, Jay markand rup mai, Jay markand rup markand mai. JAY MAI JAY MAI JAY MAI
