Jalaram Bapa was however not willing to measure a householder's life and continued to require care of his father's business. He separated himself from his father's business and his uncle Valjibhai asked Jalaram Bapa and his wife Virbai to remain in his house. At the age of sixteen, in 1816, Jalaram married Virbhai, the daughter of Pragjibhai Thakkar (Somaiya) at Atkot.
Virbai proved to be assets to him in his works of feeding poor and needy. She was also a pious and saintly lady and she or he also decided to follow the trail of serving mankind. At the age of twenty, Jalaram, amid his wife, decided to travel for a pilgrimage to the holy cities of Ayodhya, Varanasi, and Badrinath.

Jalaram was given the "Guru Mantra" (mantra) and Japa mala within the name of Rama by his Guru Bhojalram. With blessings of his guru, he started " Sadavrat", a feeding center, an area where all sadhus and saints, also because the needy, could have food at any time. One day, a sadhu who came to his house gave him an idol of Rama,
forecasting that Hanuman the monkey- god and devotee of Rama, would follow soon. Jalaram Bapa installed Rama as his family deity and after a couple of days, an idol of Hanuman appeared out of the world, on its own. The idol of Rama's consort Sita and his brother Lakshmana also appeared. thanks to a miracle the container within the house of Jalaram, where grains were stored, become inexhaustible. Later other devotees and village folk joined him in his works of human welfare. Soon his fame spread as a divine incarnation. Whoever came to Virpur, whether Hindu or Muslim regardless of caste, creed, and religion were fed by Jalaram.
This tradition of feeding people continues to the present day in Virpur. One a tailor named Haraji, who was affected by severe stomach-ache, came to him to urge himself cured. Jalaram Bapa prayed to God and Taraji was cured. He fell at Jalaram Bapa's feet and addressed him as Bapa. Since then he was referred to as Jalaram Bapa. Soon his fame spread and other people came to him to urge obviate diseases and problems. Jalaram Bapa would pray for them within the name of Rama and miracles happened.
Both Hindus and Muslims became his disciples. In 1822, Jamal, son of rich Muslim merchant fell ill and doctors gave up all hope. At that time of your time, Taraji told Jamal of his experience (parcha), Jamal, prayed from his house, that if his son is cured of the disease, he would give 40 maunds of grain to Jalaram Bapa for sadavrat. His son recovered and Jamal visited the house of Jalaram Bapa with a cartload of grains and called him Jall so Allah!!. At just one occasion, God within the guise of an old saint told Jalaram to send Virbai to serve him. Jalaram consulted her and together with her consent sent her with the saint. But after walking some miles and reaching a close-by forest, the saint asked Virbai to attend for him.
She waited but the saint didn't return. Instead, she heard and Akashwani stating that it had been only to the test the hospitality of the couple. Before the saint disappeared, he left a Danda (staff) and Jholi [Cloth bag], with Virbai. Virbai returns home to Jalaram as instructed by the celestial voice with Dand & Jholi. This Danda and Jholi are still at Virpur and kept on display during a glass enclosure. It is the birthplace of Shree Jalaram Bapa. the most shrine of Jalaram Bapa is found at Virpur.
