During his studies, Shastriji Maharaj continuously experienced hardships from certain opposing elements due to his unparalleled brilliance and sharp intellect. In Rajkot, upon seeing his splendour and style of explaining deep philosophical principles, many devotees would come to his seat to listen to his discourses. However, some people could not bear such popularity, so they arranged for him to be sent away to Junagadh. Scholar Jivanram Shastri did not like this and subsequently spoke about it to Modaji Darbar from Maliya. So, Modaji wrote a letter to Acharya Shri Viharilalji Maharaj in Vartal. Acharya Maharaj had affection towards Swamishri from the beginning; however, on this occasion, he wanted to confirm the praises made by Jivanram Shastri. Therefore, he arranged for a scriptural debate between Swamishri and Shastri Krishnapriyadasji of Umreth. At the end of the debate, Krishnapriyadasji had to accept that Swamishri’s scholarly knowledge was indeed unrivalled. Thereafter, Swamishri’s studies resumed in Rajkot.
