Samarpan Ashram, Dandi, Gujarat – 7,8,9 November 2017 His Holiness in thoughtful mode   7-11-2017 I left for Dandi on 7th morning at 5.30am. As is the norm every year two sadhaks dropped out and three last minute additions joined us on the trip. I picked up Ruchitaji and Toneyji from Andheri West and then Harish from Sai Motors at Andheri on the highway. He had carried the marathon-shirts for distribution from the Madhuchaitanya counter at the Ashram. We had to pick up Malvikaji from Andheri and our navigator Ruchitaji told me she is waiting after Jogeshwari flyover. I stopped after crossing the Jogeshwari flyover and Malivkaji was not there.

She came within 5 minutes of our reaching Borivali. Deepak Tandon and his party were to join us at Fountain. We reached Fountain at around 8.05 and waited for Deepak Tandon. He came at around 8.30am after picking up Ash...
