A hunter group was passing through the banks of Maa Narmada. A Britisher spotted something very unusual - a young yogi was meditating and 20 crocodiles were also resting besides him. He clicked a photograph and sent it to a News Journal. The Headlines - "A MAN WHO CAN CONTROL THE UNCONTROLABLE ". This was the description of Swami Ram - who later became the Shankaracharya as well. He wrote a beautiful book called THE HIMALAYAN MASTERS - in which he wrote about saints and yogis who were par excellence. And who other than Neem Karoli Baba he stayed with him in Kainchi for sometime.

Swami Rama as Shankarcharya. |
Baba returned the money to the rich and said go get some fruit. The rich man said that there is no market here. Baba said "if it cannot buy fruit it isn't money for me".

Baba said to Swami Ram - some amount of money is important but too much will always bring misery. Hoarding money is a sin, for we are creating more poor people. Swami Ram wrote he used to love Lord Ram - and used to recite mantra which no one understood. But he was very very mysterious in his ways. I had many more delightful and funny experiences with Neem Karoli baba, which you wouldn't believe but some people who used to know him will understand him. He used to catch people "YOU WERE TALKING AGAINST ME WITH SUCH AND SUCH PERSON UNDER A TREE" and than the next word would be "go, go, go, go --- than he would cover himself with a blanket.

Swami Ram wrote that one day a Pharmacist was delivering some powder from Talital to Mallital. He was devotee of Neem Karoli Baba, so he stopped to see him on the way. Baba said to me swami " I am hungry" - he immediately asked "What are you carrying"... Oh baba this is poison - arsenic. But Baba snatched the powder and ate all - The Pharmacist was worried like hell - but nothing happened.... and the next day baba was like normal.
Swami Rama - the Himalayan Institute |
He was a saint who was never at one place- HALF HERE HALF THERE - and when a saint is like this he would never know about the external aspects. Neem Karoli baba was always hungry - he never knew whether he was full or hungry - if you ask him he would reply I don't know -

Finally I told him Baba you have eaten too much and he smiled like a child and said "IS IT". He is not aware too much of mundane things but HE IS CONSTANTLY AWARE OF THE TRUTH.
