Once Ramdulari went to take a bath in the river Ganga with her son Nanhe. Then suddenly Nanhe slipped from her lap. For many days, she remained troubled in search of her son. With God's grace, she found her son safely. That is why it is said that Ganga had special grace on Shastriji.

At the age of one and a half, his father died. The responsibility of his future had come to Ramdulari. They were struggling with financial constraints. The school he entered was across the river Ganga. So he had to go to school in the boat. Many times, due to lack of money he used to swim in Ganga to go to school.

Then, while taking moral responsibility, Shastri gave a resignation letter to the Railway Minister. But the work done by him was greatly appreciated. He was also the General Secretary of All India Congress Committee in 1952. Despite having high positions, he did not had any kind of pride.
