The formation of the Multan Welfare Society at Haridwar, a holy bath in the Ganges, was a curious coincidence. Some prominent members of our community used to attend an annual feast in Haridwar. This feast was organized by Mr. Udhodas Dureja, a resident of Delhi, in memory of Swami Dharamdas Ji at Baba Atma Prakash Ji's Dharamshala, Akhanddham. During the 1980 feast, the administrators of this Dharamshala mistreated and insulted the self-respect of respected members of our community: Mr. Udhodas Dureja (Delhi), Mr. Harbans Lal Rajpal (Karnal), Mr. Harichand Nangru (Panipat), Mr. Wazirchand Kakkar (Shahbad), Mr. Chamanlal Kataria (Delhi), Mr. Radheshyam Kataria (Delhi), and other prominent members. This event awakened a new consciousness in the hearts and minds of the community members present, and those few noblemen began to dream of having their own Dharamshala or building built by the community right there in Haridwar.
