ABSTRACT
Ramabai lived her hectic life at Kedgaon, at times alone in the midst of a vast international 'family', although her aloneness perhaps subsided after her daughter's return. Manorama opened 'Shanti Sadan', a girls' school in Gulberga in the princely state of Hyderabad, in today's Andhra Pradesh. Managing this in addition to her duties at Kedgaon was stressful and was to ultimately take a heavy toll on her health. Mukti became the centre of the revival as it spread to institutions associated with Ramabai, and has received special notice in most, if not all, international overviews of revivals. The move to Kedgaon made Ramabai spatially as well as socially peripheral to Pune, the cultural heartland of Maharashtra. With the establishment of Mukti Mission and overt proselytization, the indigenous Christian support also increased considerably. Their conclusion was, 'Kedgaon's exaltation of the living Christ and the power of His Spirit is not the least aspect of Kedgaon's message to the Indian Church'.
