A devotee named Damodar spoke to Nathu Bhatta about Shriji Maharaj’s supremacy, “Shriji Maharaj is the cause of all the avatārs and Ramanand Swami is the avatār of Uddhav.” Nathu Bhatta became distraught hearing this. Later, the two traveled to Vartal where Maharaj was present. Nathu Bhatta asked Maharaj, “O Maharaj! Why does Damodar say Ramanand Swami is Uddhav?” Shriji Maharaj answered, “Meditate upon Ramanand Swami and you will understand exactly as it is.” Nathu Bhatta sat in meditation, and he experienced samādhi, where he saw the infinite muktas, infinite avatārs, infinite powers, and Ramanand Swami surrounding the divine murti of Maharaj in Akshardham. Then, Maharaj showed him all the avatārs and Ramanand Swami in his service, solidifying Nathu Bhatta’s conviction of Maharaj’s supremacy. Then, Nathu Bhatta woke up from the samādhi state and prostrated in front of Damodar and said, “O Maharaj! If Damodar had not spoken to me about your supremacy, then there would have been a great difference (loss) in my liberation. So, now reveal to me the understanding of your supremacy so that no deficiency remains.” Shriji Maharaj said, “I have come on this earth, along with my Akshardham and infinite pārshads and the ishwars of other abodes, for the liberation of infinite jivas.” In this way, Maharaj mercifully showed his powers to Nathu Bhatta.
