• They told him that they can’t give him food but their Guru will give him.

​

• He followed the Sadhus to Upasharay and pleaded to Guru to give food. The Guru was a big Acharya Aaryasuhasti, who was wise. He gave diksha to the beggar and then gave him food. Nutanmuni ate to survive and then he started getting stomach pain.

• He requested his parents and they accepted it but they said, you can take diksha after some days so that we can celebrate it joyfully.
• Guru , with his powers, seeing the boy’s future suggested him to take diksha now itself.
• After taking diksha the young man died on that moment only. In the next birth he went to devlok. Immediately, he came down where he died and gave his introduction to all.
• Parents felt that guruji had done a great job. There is no guarantee of life. If they had taken time for diksha then their son wouldn’t be Dev.
