Hanuman Jayanti Bhandara, April 2006 Issue, Volume II
On April 24th, last year we had launched the
first online English magazine on Maharajji
which gave itself the name - Me, Myself and
Maharajji.
We think that it has only been possible by the
grace of Neeb Karori Baba that like last year,
we are ready with yet another issue of the
magazine on the occasion of the Hanuman
Jayanti Bhandara (on April 13th, 2006 at
Vrindavan).
We thank all our readers and the contributors
for their help and support. Hope you enjoy
reading it.

What Grace!!!
It was in the summer of 1986. I was at the
ashram in Taos and was actually staying up in
the ski valley on a combination retreat vacation. I
would come down to the ashram every day.
This was in the early days when there was not
much activity going on. Krishna Das was
caretaker and had asked me a day earlier if I
wanted to stay there at the ashram, as he was
going camping for the weekend. I wanted to but
was hesitant since I was with my wife who was
not into the ashram scene. So anyway I came
there the next day to get Hanumanji's darshan. It
was very quite, there was no one around unlike
today and the years following when there is
always activity of some sort. I was meditating in
the mandir when I heard a high pitched voiced
which said "come stay with me". There was no
one else there so my feeling then and now is it
was Hanumanji so without any hesitation I went
back to the ski valley, gather up my wife and
clothes and went and stayed the rest of our time
at the ashram which was two or three more days.
I have always felt blessed about this experience.
Though it was just His voice it was enough. What
grace!!!

My Last Breath
My dad had the privilege to see him present
physically. Since I opened my eyes he has been
around. Incidents are numerous I would like to
share one of them here. It happened in the last
week of July. The eve before, we were talking
about Baba and one of the topics that came up
was the last breath of man. Baba insists that
there should be no desire then or else one again
gets entangled in the cycle of life and death. In
the same context: our thought should focus on
God and he comes to us in the same form.
The next morning I was going to my work place in
a bus. I was sitting in the front seat. The thoughts
from the last evening's discussion were rolling in
my mind. Just then I realised that the bus had
taken a different route (and since then the bus
hasn't taken that route again).

In my mind I was conversing with Baba. I said,

"When I take my last breath, if I'll call Ram or any
other deity the inensity of the call won't be strong.
I shall call you and you come." This was on my
mind and I was looking out of the window. What
do I see! a big (more than twelve inches in
length) animated picture of Baba under a tree.
After we turned a corner I got down from the bus
and sent word that I might get late and walked
back to where the picture was. Today that picture
is in the house: a reminder of his words that call
me and I'll be there.

Miracle of Babaji
In 1992, when I moved into my independent
journey as a lecturer in HBTI Kanpur, my mother
instructed to visit Panki Temple of Hanumanji
which was established by Baba. Since then I
have been with Babaji.
In 1996, I got an opportunity to appear for the
interview of Assistant Engineer in Public Works
Department of UP. This interview was in
Allahabad. I was not very prepared for the
interview. Before the start of my interview, we
were told that duration of the individual interview
will be 10 minutes for each candidate. I was
wearing a locket in my neck carrying Babaji's
photograph in it. I kissed the locket and prayed to
him that you are the one who always does
miracles. Please do it today for me. I went in the
interview board and a miracle happed that day. I
was interviewed for 35 minutes instead of 10
minutes which was announced earlier. Interview
happened on various topics both technical and
non-technical. I am weak in general knowledge
but was able to answer each and every question
related to Indian history. I knew then and there, a
miracle had happened.
My prayer got answered. I got 3rd position in
overall merit and was declared selected. Though
I didn't join this job later on my personal choice
but I am sure that Baba did it for me. Now a days,
I am doing PhD at IIT Kanpur and needless to
say I am a firm believer in Baba. May he continue
to bless us all with his divine grace.

My God Is Great
When I was a kid,
My first word was mom,
As she used to love me,
And show me around,
It was then I first learnt,
To say my prayers,
And to bow to my God,
Who lives in heaven,
As mom used to tell me,
That you are so great,
You take care of everything,
You write our fate,
But when I grew up,
It was then I realised,
That my God is Great,
He shows me the light,
He gave me the person,
To love me in life,
His love guided me to,
Reach high in life,
He gave me all pleasure,
And endless delight,
I thank you oh Lord,
For giving my bright,
When I feel constraints,
Which are so human,
When angels depart,
I look to the heaven,
I know it is your wish,
I cannot ignore,
You want me independent,
You want me do more,
As I walk on,
Of course in your name,
I will do my duties,
As best as I can,
But oh my Lord,
Show me the light,
Give my loved one,
Pleasure and delight,
I look to the heaven,
It is there we unite,
Now I march to future,
Whatever be the fate,
You will take care of me,
You gave me that faith,
I may feel some up,
I may feel some low,
But shall I forget,
Ever to bow,

April 2006, Volume II

I bow to the heaven,

It is never too late,
I know just one thing,
That my God is Great.

Maharajjis blessing
Over the years I have been very devoted to Baba
Neeb Karori and Hanuman. I have been going
out to the Ashram in Taos, New Mexico about
every other year since 1984.
In 2001, I had a very interesting darshan of
Maharaji and Hanuman. It was in July right before
Guru Purnmina. It was early in the evening and
my goal was to shoot some video of the grounds
and temple. I was shooting some flowers and the
outside of the mandir when I noticed a strange
looking fellow talking to another man. They were
both sitting on a bench just outside the temple
entrance. I went about shooting video of
everything around the grounds. I could hear the
chanting of the evening prayer to Hanuman
inside the temple.
The odd looking man and the other got up to
head inside as soon as they had finished with
evening prayer. I went about shooting video and
was on the backside of the temple listening to the
chanting and music coming from inside the
temple. I then worked my way into the foyer of
the temple. Shot some more and listened to the
music. I kept thinking to myself I've got to go
finish shooting and head on out what is going on
inside has nothing to do with me. A funny thing
happened as I got around to the entrance I had to
stop and then sit down on the bench by the door.
I tried to move but was lost in the moment, I tried
to get again but could not so I surrendered into
the kirtan. It was pure bliss they were singing Sri
Ram Jai Ram and it went on and on or so it
seemed. That darshan was quite amazing I figure
it was Maharaji's grace as it led to a series of
events that were very connected.
Turns out that the strange looking fellow was
none other than Bhagavan Das.

Now I did not know it was he until a couple of

years later when I hosted a kirtan event in
Cincinnati, Ohio featuring him. I had been
listening to some of his recorded kirtan and then
listened to the video, I had recorded earlier from
that evening at the ashram and said wow. Turns
out it was him who was singing that evening at
the temple. He listened to it while he was here
and confirmed it was indeed he.

Next morning my mother opened the book

Aalokik Yatharth. There she got the answer that
we should not worry about anything. The next
time when I went to the doctor without any
treatment he said I was doing fine (without any
treatment. And from that day I haven't felt any
headache problems. Now I am computer
hardware engineer working on computers for
more then 15 hrs in a day.

Now it is because of Maharajjis blessing that I

have gotten to know Baba Bhagavan Das and
taken up morning and evening puja and Kirtan.
Jai Jai Baba Neeb Karori!!!

Baba comes to us!

His Grace
I went to sit in the presence of Shiva Rudra
Balayogi in MA recently and at the beginning of
the evening, before he came out, one of his
female devotees was singing, and the harmonium
was being played. I closed my eyes and told
Maharajji how much I loved him and appreciated
his presence in my life... As I opened my eyes the
first thing I saw was a tiny picture of Maharajji on
the harmonium, it was over 10 feet away, but his
picture was as clear as him sitting in front of me. I
felt a blissful wash of joy and love envelope me,
and tears streamed from my face. His Grace is
such a blessing in my life.

Miracle in my life
I am from Amritsar. This happened when I was in
Rishikesh for Shree Maas Darshan two years
back. I was sent to an eye specialist by my
parents for a normal check-up due to some
headache problems. I went there and the doctor
said that I was into serious trouble. He suggested
a CT scan and hinted at a major operation. I was
shocked to hear this. Then I called my mother to
tell her everything.

About three months back a family devoted to

Baba came to know about us and paid a visit.
They told how they got to know Baba. Kusum,
one of the members of the family had a strange
dream one night. She saw a saint standing at a
particular place. She asked three questions and
he answered them. Almost a year after that, she
saw a picture of Baba at a relatives place and
recognized him as the same saint who was in the
dream. She came to know of Kainchi and visited
it along with her family. They reached it some
how with no plans as to how to stay and where to
stay leaving everything on Baba. When they
reached there she was surprised as the place
was the same as that in the dream and Siddhi Ma
without their having asked made arrangements
for their stay.
The next year they planned a visit to Haridwar. All
along they regretted not having gone to Kainchi.
It so happened that there they hired an auto to
take them to Rishikesh . The man said that he
could not take them all the way to Rishikesh but
would take them to another good place. They
agreed .He left them outside a temple. To their
amazement, inside they found Baba everywhere.
That was Baba's Veerbhadra Ashram. Sure they
couldn't ask for anything more!
