"I was depressed in grief and pain terribly, both mentally and physically. My heart was broken with great agony, and I lost interest in life and left my home abruptly."

He then spent nearly two years (1961-1962) "wandering in search of God from place to place with great suffering and mental torture. Many days I was to remain without food and water."

In November 1962, "I had beloved Baba's  darshan  at the East-West Gathering and found my God in the form and name of Meher Baba." After that, Hardeep had the opportunity to again meet Meher Baba for His  Darshan  in 1963, 1965 and 1969.

Hardeep visited Meherabad (where Meher Baba's Tomb Shrine or  Samadhi is located) and Meherazad (Meher Baba's last home in India), for the first time in 1965 with a small group from Pune with Meher Baba's permission.

In 1971, Hardeep married Indra, and they have two children, son Sujit and daughter Kirti, both married to American Baba lovers, who live in North Carolina. Indra became a Baba Lover after her first visit to Meherabad in 1976.

In 1993, the Hanspals moved to Meherabad "to serve Baba's cause on account of sister Mani's [Mani S. Irani, Meher Baba's sister] directions by Beloved Baba's grace."

They both do various duties for the Avatar Meher Baba Perpetual Public Charitable Trust. Hardeep is the  Samadhi Hill supervisor, and both of them are involved in cleaning, maintenance and management of Meher Baba's  Samadhi area. They also help provide food to the pilgrims in Hostel D at Meherabad, and Indra attends to the laundry at the Meher Pilgrim Center in Meherabad.

 "I say with 100% honesty that 'I not only know Meher Baba as God in human form, but feel Him so.' His touching hand with love to solve my difficulties in life will never be forgotten. Thousands of salutations with gratitude. Hail my Master God Avatar Meher Baba. Thank you Baba."
