6. Different experiences during his service in Court

It so happened that a colleague of his had joined service a couple of days earlier than him. After a transfer, it so happened that his colleague has joined in the new post a few days later than Sri Ramchandraji Maharaj. At the time of promotion his superior officers who were kindly disposed towards him wanted to promote him over looking the seniority of his colleague on the pretext that he joined the promotion post later and therefore junior to him. But when they consulted Sri Ramchandraji, he told that his colleague is senior and therefore he should be promoted. This not only got appreciation from the superior officers but also helped his colleague develop regard for him. He was able to have the full confidence of his officers who would sign on the dotted lines submitted by him. His friends and colleagues in office irrespective of their rank were highly helpful to him and held him in high regard and esteem.

Once a co-clerk on account of his caste prejudice teased Sri Ramchandraji when he joined a new post in which he had no experience. Instead of teaching and helping him, he resorted to harassing techniques so much that he even opted to resign from office. But the Munsif, to whom the matter was reported, told him that he would teach the work and that he would continue in office, saying simultaneously that he cannot get such an honest man. He felt so bad that he even told his respected father that he would resign from the office or else commit suicide. His father told him to resign immediately if he felt so. However, he continued the service and with the help of the Munsif was able to learn the work fast in a few months and was comfortable. Despite this attitude of his colleague which had driven him to such an extent as to make him think of suicide also, his treatment towards him was as cordial as ever. He had no enmity towards him and he even loved him more. Others called him simple and naive but from his point if others do not do their duty why should one not do his duty? He puts it like "What I do for you, it is my duty; what you do not do for me, it is your duty". But then Nature did not spare his colleague and no one in his family survived for long. However, Sri Ramchandraji helped his son to get a job in the court. However, he also died. In the short span of life while so many good things can be done, unfortunately many prefer to do more wrong than good.

His official work continued as usual efficiently and gaining him kudos from his superior officers. In 1929 his officers recorded that "I was satisfied with his work. He is a quiet soul and good at his work". In 1949 his officers stated that "He is efficient and hard working and has given me full satisfaction with his work. He has an enviable reputation for strict honesty". Later in the same year it was recorded that "as Munsarim his work has been thoroughly satisfactory. He is a careful and hard working official, and is generally known to be scrupulously honest". In 1953 it was stated that "He believes in leading a pious life and adheres to that principle in his official life also". In 1955 it was recorded that he is "an unassuming and quiet worker with a very good reputation for leading a saintly life. He leads a very saintly life and adheres to his high principles in his day-to-day affairs and is very conscious of his duties as Record Keeper. He had effective control of the record room and I was very much satisfied with his work." On his retirement it was stated that " He earned an enviable reputation for honesty and disciplined life; worked assiduously but in an unassuming manner and can, I think serve as a model for the ministerial staff which is the poorer for his retirement". The President of the Prantiya Bharat Sevak Samaj Sri A. G.Khare also appreciated him.

His family life continued satisfactorily. He was blessed with 6 sons and 3 daughters. However 2 sons and one daughter died during infancy. His wife Smt. Bhagwati passed away in the year 1949. His second son Sri Dinesh, however, committed suicide in the year 1958. He bore all these afflictions and grief with a state of balance and settledness and accepted every event as gifts from the Divine for his good.
