Tukdoji after his release from the jail, initiated social reform movements and struggled hard against blind faith, untouchabilty, superstition, cow-slaughter and other social evils, He established his Gurukunj Ashram at Mozari village about 120 Km from Nagpur, where constructive programmes were implemented with active participation of his followers. At the very entrance of the Ashram he inscribed its motto as-
‘Open to all is the temple of ours’
‘Welcome to all from every creed and religion’
‘Welcome to all from home and abroad’
After the dawn of independence, Tukdoji concentrated his full attention to rural reconstruction works and organised many kinds of camps for constructive workers. His activities were impressive and of great national interest. Dr. Rajendrea Prasad, Prasident of India showered love on him respectfully bestowed the honor ‘Rashtrasant’ in one of the great gatherings at Gurukunj Ashram. Thereafter people widely called him ‘Rashtrasant’ with great respect.
