On 1990 Sarkar gave Sanskrit speeches, which were printed into book. One Dada went to give the book to university Sanskrit professors in India. Later the professors told that they have had 4 problems in Sanskrit papers and now Sarkar had solved them all in his book. They were more than amazed. One professor wanted to come and honor Sarkar. Dada was happy, but Sarkar was not and refused to meet them. One day finally Sarkar told Dada: "Now ask them when they want to come". Dada was happy and asked the professor; "Just give your date to see Sarkar". He gave the date 22.10. Dada told to Sarkar the date. Sarkar said; "OK, they can come 22.10". The professor and his wife came – but they didn't know Sarkar left his physical body day before. The professor wrote to quest book; "Had we come before...". The professors had plan to tell to the world, but Sarkar didn't give them chance. He wanted to remain a mystery.

One Ananda Marga Acarya (sorry don't know the name) used to go around to see many sadhus in order to learn proper meditation, he spent years for searching... Once he went to see Sivpuri Baba, who was highly elevated soul and had joined sannyasis at the age of four. He settled into Katmandu and started residing in hermitage where his disciples arranged his stay. He would come out of his hermitage just half an hour in the morning and evening. He took only milk and occasionally bananas. The Ananda Marga Acarya finally thought he want to learn meditation from this sannyasi. He asked him to give him initiation, but Shivpuri Baba refused and said that he will find his Spiritual guide in the place where he was staying. Then he just blessed him. Hoping to find his master Ananda Marga Acarya returned to his home place and continued his search. One day he was blessed to meet Sarkar and so the word of Shivpuri Baba came true. (I know many other stories that some Sadhu's have refused to initiate disciple and requested to go to meet Sarkar, DA.)

Acarya had hired a room and lived alone. He had told his parents not to make any commitment with any girl for him as he wouldn't obey. One day two wealthy looking persons came to ask Acarya to marry their daughter. He was brilliant student and his brother was doctor in US. The two gentlemen presented acarya with a blank check. After thinking a while Acarya filled it with enormous amount of 500 000 rupees (ab $ 10 000) and waited their response, which was prompt yes. Then he rebuked them of having come to purchase him. He told them that he would rather marry a poor girl. One day when he had entered his home someone came by bicycle to tell that Sarkar was calling him.

When he came to Sarkar's place, he was told that Sarkar had left a request that he should get married. Sarkar had chosen Indu as his fiancee and the marriage ceremony was arranged in couple of days according Sarkar's dictations. Sarkar told that the marriage system was unique in the whole world. ….........

Thus Sarkar started revolutionary marriage system. Usually the fiance and fiancee are from different caste, nationality or culture. The aim of revolutionary marriage is to learn to love people with different back ground, which eventually also would lead to uniting the society and the world.
