The early 1970's bore witness to the beginnings of the stupendous mission of one of Parama Sadguru Shree Gajanan's most devoted disciples, Mr. Vasant Paranjpe (now known all over the world simply as Shree Vasant). In December, 1970 when Shree Vasant visited Akkalkot, Parama Sadguru Shree Gajanan Maharaj asked him to read Mundaka Upanishad and instructed him in Satya Dharma (Eternal Principles of Religion) for a period of several days. At the end of this period, as Shree Vasant was about to leave Akkalkot, he received a command from Parama Sadguru to write a book in English language. For this task Parama Sadguru bestowed His blessings saying, "Light is given." Even though Shree Vasant had never before authored a book in any language, nonetheless the outcome was the book Grace Alone, an exposition on religion and Parama Sadguru Shree's message of Fivefold Path, first published in India in 1971 and subsequently translated into several languages.

Then in 1972 Parama Sadguru Shree Gajanan Maharaj gave Shree Vasant the Divine command:
"Our words which lead to bliss, convey them to all the people."

Shree Vasant had chosen U.S.A. as the center from which His teachings should spread around the whole planet to people of all races and creeds on all continents. In that same year Shree Vasant travelled to USA where he started spreading Parama Sadguru's message of Fivefold Path.

In 1973 Shree Vasant established a non-profit organization, Fivefold Path Inc. in Madison, Virginia with himself as founder president. Later that year Parama Sadguru commanded Shree Vasant to begin publication of a fortnightly journal. The first issue of "Satsang" saw the light of day on seventeenth May, 1973 with Shree Vasant as editor. For 36 years this journal has documented Shree Vasant's work in spreading Parama Sadguru's words to a planet in dire need of that message.

Still later that same year on the autumnal equinox, 22nd September, Shree Vasant inaugurated the first Fire Temple in the world under Parama Sadguru's new dispensation for the New Era. Parama Sadguru gave the name Parama Dham for this Fire Temple in Madison, Virginia and also the English translation— 'House of Almighty Father.'

In May 1974 Shree Vasant traveled for the first time to Europe introducing Parama Sadguru's message in Luxembourg, Holland, Belgium, Germany and Scandinavia.

The year 1976 saw the publication of two more landmark books written by
Shree Vasant— Light Towards Divine Path, explaining in simple language the Fivefold Path, and Ten Commandments" of Parama Sadguru, a commentary on Parama Sadguru's Ten Commandments for the new dispensation. Both books have since been translated into several languages.

Also in 1976 Shree Vasant was accompanied by some of his young American charges on a trip to India. This was to mark the beginning of the fulfillment of Parama Sadguru's oft repeated statement, "Fivefold Path comes to India." This is a direct reference to a prophecy made by Swami Vivekananda at the time of the Parliament of World Religions in Chicago in 1893, that knowledge would go from the East to the West and at an appointed time return to the East from the West. Since 1976 there has been an endless stream of Westerners traveling to India and neighboring countries of Asia bearing Parama Sadguru's message of Agnihotra and Fivefold Path.
