His Sadhu Kriya was the toughest and hard one to follow. Even though he was old enough he never ever took help of his disciple in handling his equipment in day to day life. He had a unbelievable capacity of walking. Even the youth disciple failed to race them in walking. Till his last breath he used only his feet as a traveling source and nothing else. In the thunder cold he use to have the daily prayers 'Pratikraman' and meditation with no clothes over his body. In the free time he used to teach, discuss, and have lectures on scientific, religious matters with his disciples was one of his daily schedule.

It was cold winter, the disease gradually increased, but still the sadhu-krya was not slow down. He called up all his sadhus near him and told them that his time to leave the world is near but they should not get depressed and should carry on their regular duties and prayers without fail.
