It was a noble and inspiring objective that Ammaji had taken up, calling upon her devotees to offer voluntary labor for building the Ashram. This call was met with great enthusiasm, as numerous devotees gathered to contribute. Among them was a young, educated, and dynamic Sri Lalit Pal Sharma, later honored with the name Nand Baba by Ammaji. He dedicated himself to serving Ammaji with utmost sincerity, devotion, and dedication. To outsiders, it appeared as if a true Hanuman Bhakt had met Shri Ram for the first time. Shri Lalitji surrendered completely to Ammaji, and together, they forged a sacred Guru-Shishya bond that followed the traditional paths of Bhakti and Seva in a unique way.
As this holy union blossomed, Ammaji and her devoted follower, Shri Lalitji, set out to transform a barren piece of land at the foothills of Aravali, known as Saanp ki Nangli due to its infestation with snakes, into a spiritual haven. The Ashram, which would eventually be named in honor of Sri Ragya Devi, became a sanctuary of possibility, where Bhakti and Seva were the foundation stones of its creation.
More devotees joined the cause, contributing not only labor but also offerings in cash, kind, and services. The Ashram building took shape, its awe-inspiring roof and architecture nestled within the natural surroundings of shrubs, trees, flowers, and creepers. Yet, despite its grandeur, the Ashram remained a place of simplicity, a testament to the core values of devotion and service that Ammaji and her followers upheld.
