From Gujarat Vidyapith to Sabarmati Ashram; Mahatma Gandhi bicycled for the first time since his South African days; to reach evening prayers in time; 1928. Puratom Buch in the National Herald. In 1928; Gandhiji had come to a meeting in the Vidyapith from the ashram. The meeting was held in the evening; and it was attended by some citizens.
