Samadhi Mandir of her father i.e. Brahmibhoot Shree Sadguru Vasudevanant Saraswati alias Shri Raosaheb Sahasrabuddhe constructed by her in that plot is owned personally by her. I have taken this place on 18-08-1956 on a Registered Lease of Thirty years from her and I have undertaken in writing to take care of her Ownership and other Rights. Accordingly, I have (always) to take care of her ownership rights and I have been doing it till now.

If anybody breaks the rule behaving to the contrary or in an undisciplined manner I will ask him to go out of this place at any time and I am not bound to clarify the matter to anybody. Who should come to this place and who should not is my personal right and even if I have given permission to Mandal, this my (privilege) right remains unaffected.
