Many students from all over the country put their point in that program. When Yogi started speaking his words, people were highly appreciated. Hearing the speech, Avedyanathji Maharaj was very impressed. Whereupon he called Yogi Adityanath to himself and asked, where did he come from, then he told that from Panchur in Pauri, Uttarakhand. He said that if there is a chance, he should definitely come. Avedyanath Maharaj was also from the same Uttarakhand but his village was also 10 km away from Yogi's village. Yogi was very impressed with that first meeting. I promised to meet them and took my departure from there. After that meeting, Yogi Avedyanathji came to Gorakhpur to meet Maharaj. A few days later he again returned to his village.
