I started chanting of the Mantra from that day itself. I was then working in service of one cotton and share broker of Bombay, working from morning till nine at night.

Later on I speeded up and one mala was over within seven minutes. I had gathered concentration and speed both. After 13 years when I left that job and returned to Bombay, my income had gone up to three lakhs of rupees.
