INDIA’S FUTURE SEER SAINT SHRI DEVRAHA BABA SARKAR
Child! In the times to come after 2000 AD from here (Shri Devraha Baba Samadhi Sthal,
Yamuna Tat, Shri Vrindavan, India) wondrous inspirations shall be attained for India’s total
advancement. My unlimited grace pours down on this country. Due to my blessings slowly but
surely everyone’s intellect shall become spiritual in nature. I shall now tell you a mysterious
truth regarding destroying India’s hardships, so do listen attentively. If all citizens of India
whether they are Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Parsis etc while understanding the deep
import of serving cows put it into action then at an individual level all their agony and poverty
shall get destroyed. Due to the sin of inflicting pain on cows, man remains poor both materially
and spiritually for many lifetimes. Bang opposite to this due to protecting cows and serving them
devotedly man for many rebirths attains joy, prosperity and health. The cow is every Indian’s
mother. The more each Indian steadfastly shoulders this righteous duty the more this country
shall prosper both materially and spiritually. There is just no doubt about this. In the future that
7/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
shall arrive one day this holy spot shall become a great center of divine inspirations. I am seeing
that the ushering in of India’s welfare is a foregone conclusion.
I dwell in all creatures like worms, butterflies etc. It is I who protect all.
Child In every iota dwells Almighty God. By experiencing God’s presence everywhere with an
equanimous intellect do revere him with devotion. It means paying due attention to giving food
to the hungry, giving clothes to those who are naked, educating those who are illiterate, harbor
the sentiment of warding off the sorrow of others and healing those humans and other creatures
who are afflicted with various diseases. By realizing that Almighty God dwells everywhere
harbor a sense of loving oneness of soul with all and looking upon the difficulties of cows as
one’s own verily is true worship of God.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: Before shedding his mortal coil in 1990 AD Devraha Baba had said the
same thing to some devotee’s of Gorakhpur. At that time we too were in Baba’s divine presence
standing with a bag of sugar candy. Today all that has been said so far in a partial manner has
started coming true. Whatever we understood regarding the truth that Baba spoke when we were
children, today on becoming adults we understand it much more and with profundity. Hence I
offer this sacred divine message of Baba for the entire country, for the welfare of all and for the
eternal happiness of all.

It means via devotion to Almighty God the devotee who worships God and Almighty God
himself as the icon of worship is the Guru revered the world over who gives us guidance to reach
his eternal divine abode. Despite all four being separate in reality are one deep down. If we
remember them in any way or by seeking shelter at their hallowed feet the obstacles faced by a
living being gets destroyed on their own. In this sequence we shall talk about HH Devraha Baba
10/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
who Janshruti, a great devotee of God believed Revered Baba to be a Yogi Shivavatar,
Yogavatar, Southern India’s great Acharya Ramanuja Swami’s chief disciple, Hanuman Avatar
and Maharshi Patanjali of Dwapar Yuga. Amongst many letters in India and abroad were
published in ‘Ageless Saint Aged 2100 years’ with sound facts and proof. Today we feel HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s grace while writing about some important facts regarding him which
Revered Baba did not wish to publicize while he was yet alive in his mortal coil.
While Revered Baba was yet alive it was our chief and great duty to keep the above facts hidden.
Yet today when he is not alive from the standpoint of his physical form amidst world humanity
we feel it is our chief and great duty to unveil Revered Baba’s holy life via the description of his
divine sports or Lilas. In this task while appointing ourselves understanding our speech and
writing to become possible we seek only Revered Baba’s divine shelter. We pray that he gives us
so much divine energy so that we can place forth to the entire world his divine and factual divine
sports.
We firmly believe that by reading useless and fanciful stories man fills up his brains only with
rubbish and thus it is most required that instead of throwing away his precious time the dirt of
worldly sensuality he must deeply study books highlighting great devotees of God, extraordinary
Yogis, Almighty God and our glorious culture. Thus man along with some sound and true
wisdom can attain spiritual consciousness. Thus true well being of entire world humanity can
harbinger in. Human stature that is today limited merely to fulfilling of selfish gains shall
henceforth again identify ethical values. It is Almighty God’s divine power that oozes in the soul
of his unswerving devotees. Regarding this Revered Baba says:
Mursane khuda ya juda lekin nabasat.
It means lest devotees of God are not God himself then they are not even different from his
name.
Come! Let us imbibe in our hearts with deep devotion the divine and radiant divine sports/Lilas
of Brahmarshi Brahmatattvavetta Kalap Gram Nayak (Jnanganj) Shri Devraha Baba who is not
separate from Almighty God and the Supreme Divine Cosmic Authority.
In the year 1988 a terrible and wrathful flooding took place in River Yamuna. The water of this
river was flowing 2 meters above nearby areas and 2.5 meters above the line of danger. All trees
and buildings were half submerged in these flood waters. Revered Baba’s 6 to 6.5 feet high loft
was totally submerged in water. The hut built on this loft on seeing appeared as though a hut
surrounded by water was built for a hermit very much like places built in water for kings. But
these are built by humans as per the king’s command and knowing the wish of all pervasive HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba River Yamuna raised its water level rendered his hut’s form akin to a
water palace. The great emperor amongst all adept Yogis HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba seated on
the loft outside his hut appeared akin to an old Lord Shiva with divine matted locks and in his
naked form.
11/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
On seeing the terribly fearful and wrathful form of River Yamuna everyone was very scared. The
govt. officials after asking everyone to leave the nearby shore areas sent them to high hilly
regions. Since water had spread everywhere there was sheer scary havoc. River Yamuna was
determined to flow away trees, huts, humans, beasts and entire villages in its waters. High level
officials like the police commissioner, DIG, captain, collector etc seated in big boats humbly
approached HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba requested him to accompany them to a safer place.
Please come with us since Yamuna waters are rising higher up. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
said: No child! I am perfectly fine here. Since he was seated on the loft HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba was generally at a height of 9 feet above the ground but now the situation was such that
people standing in boats in front of him were at a height of 4-5 feet higher than him. On sitting
down the devotees would be at eye level with HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba who could easily
touch the river water with his fingers. Despite the situation becoming very serious HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba would appear very calm and serene. For him this was a very commonplace
incident but his devotees and disciples were quite worried about his safety. Everyone said: HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba! The chief stream of River Yamuna wherein the speed of water flow is
highest rests just behind your loft. Your loft can get uprooted any moment. The river had taken
up a very terrifically wrathful form and was flowing with immense speed. It would dash against
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s loft with such high decibel noise that those devotees conversing
with him had to almost shout in order that HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba could hear properly.
Since eerie silence spread out at night this water noise was that much louder. HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba refused to pay heed to what his devotees were saying in a prayerful manner and
instead said: Child! As long as I am seated on this loft it is impossible to uproot it. See child!
Water is my manifest form and that I was born also from it. In those days i.e. between the end of
the 19th century and the start of the 20th century for 10-15 days I resided in water the public
called me ‘Jaleshwar Baba’. I was born from water. The physical body that all of you are
witnessing is not that of any human being. In fact it is consciousness in nature. It is a Yogic body
only and every atom and molecule of it has been created from Yogic focused energy. This body
has not been created from the conjugal union of a man-woman and thus was not born from a
mother’s womb. This body can travel to various worlds not only with the gross body. Fire cannot
burn my body and water cannot wet it. Since it was created from the holy waters of River Saryu
(India) the river is its mother. Child! I shall speak to you about a very ancient incident:
There was a time in the past when my loft was built on the River Saryu’s bank and there I was
sitting on this loft. The River Saryu water levels started rising higher up. The nature of this river
water turned ferocious and my loft was just about getting submerged under it. I was sitting on
this loft. On seeing it, it appeared that in just a few minutes via the terrific speed of this river
water flow my loft would flow away in it. Some youths thinking that I (HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba) am in trouble came towards me by swimming in it. Child! I asked them not to come near
the loft but they paid no heed to my warning. I asked them not to be obstinate and told them that
as long as I am sitting on the loft nothing shall happen to it. Yet these youths continued to be
obstinate and started forcing me to leave my loft. Child! When I saw that these youths were not
12/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
going to follow my command I came down from my loft. But the moment I did so within 10-20
seconds this loft got uprooted and taking along with it these youths in a dangling way started
flowing away swiftly. Other people with great difficulty somehow took these youths to safer
shores. These youths were saved in the nick of time from entering the jaws of death because my
blessings were there with them. Child! Hence you people out of obstinacy must not repeat this
incident today. On getting assurance thus from HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba the govt. officials
left that place and both of us (Chote Maharajji and Bade Maharajji) remained with HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba in a boat tied to his loft. When we were alone at night HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba would talk to us on various topics. At that time the district captain devotee Shailajakant
Mishra and Shri Ramesh Yadavji spoke to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba: A thought is arising in
our minds that very much like the episode described in Shrimad Bhagwat wherein when baby
Lord Krishna was being carried atop his father Shri Vasudevji’s head lying down in a basket,
River Yamuna waters rose high up just to devotedly touch Krishna’s feet. Today this incident is
being repeated wherein River Yamuna waters are rising high up just so as to devotedly touch
your hallowed feet. We have firm faith that if you allow Yamuna waters to touch your holy feet
its water levels shall go down. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba did not quite agree but since both
these devotees continued to repeat this same request prayerfully he allowed the water to touch
the thumb of his right lotus foot. That same night this increased water level receded about 1.5
feet down. In the following 2 days this water level receded downwards further by 12-13 feet.
Since the water level again receded into the womb of River Yamuna land could now be seen. At
various places where boats were swimming, they now stopped doing so and water receded below
the limits of the river bank. The owners of these boats brought their friends to put these boats
now back into the normal river flow. Both of us (Chote Maharajji and Bade Maharajji) were
seated in a boat tied to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s loft and this boat also now stuck to the
ground without moving. But it was half below the loft and half outside the loft. For the whole
night since water had totally receded down none had the time to spare to bring back their boats
into the river water. Both of us brothers were about to return our boats into the river water with
other people’s help but HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba on seeing us trying to do so stopped us
saying: Child! Do not waste your efforts. I shall tell Mother River Yamuna to do so. She shall
again come and take your boat. Till then let your boat remain as it is. The tree to which this boat
is tied has got the good fortune of serving me. See child! This tree is such a devotee that despite
being chopped off via its body is immersed in serving the Lord.
Days passed by and due to intense sunlight new soil latching on to the ground due to flooding the
dampness of it started decreasing. At the commencement due to walking on ground a deep
quagmire of 4 inches, 8 inches, 1 foot, 2 feet etc appeared but since dampness of the soil
decreased in about 10 days it got destroyed. After a few days the ground became very dry. The
Yamuna waters too receded down 13-14 feet below the river bank. Everyone had forgotten what
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba had said i.e. Child! Do not waste your efforts. I shall tell Mother
River Yamuna. She shall come again and take it away.
13/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
After about 1.5 months suddenly Yamuna waters started rising up again. It thus rose up by 1.5
feet above its bank. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba reminded us: Child! River Yamuna has come
to take your boat. Tie your boat in the river stream. Else you shall have to make due efforts. Now
henceforth this year River Yamuna shall not rise above again for the 3rd time. What was mindboggling was that Yamuna waters rose up for only a few hours. Both of us brothers as per HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s orders tied the boat to the shore with its body in mid stream. In 2-4
hours water levels again on receding went below the river edge. It thus appeared as though
Yamuna waters had risen up only to carry away our boat with it. The people whom we had called
to take away the boat were astounded to hear what had happened and thus they bowed down
their heads in sheer reverence and devotion to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba.
All devotees were well aware of the divine sports or Lilas of such a Trikalajna (who knows the
past, present and future) HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. The childhood and youth of both of us
brothers had been spent in witnessing such divine sports. Hence in both of us due to hundreds
and thousands of such divine sports of his faith, devotion, faith in the Guru and love for the Guru
advanced day by day. Lest at very initial stage itself the boat had been removed not even 1 sq
feet of dry land was there surrounding the loft where we brothers could stand. Thus this benefit
of the boat remaining there was accrued by both of us. Throughout the day we would give sugar
candy to all devotees thronging there for HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s Darshan in the wet
soggy soil. If we got even a short spare time we would bring 1 bucket of water from the river, sit
in the boat so as to wash our feet with this water and after drying our feet in the dry boat, sit in it.
In this very boat we would go to sleep at night. The day when as per HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba’s command the boat was taken away due to difficulties faced from the following day we
both realized the importance of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s grace. Since the boat was no
longer there we both placed about 8 bricks on the wet soil and stood there while catching the
wooden poles of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s loft. While standing thus we would chant ‘Jai
Siyaram’ the name of God continuously for HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba to hear. If we stopped
chanting HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would shout from his hut on the loft above: Child! Whose
dog are you? If you bark for the whole night Almighty Lord shall give you this much food
(fistful) of food to eat. And lest HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba wished to give something on such
an occasion then just as we call aloud to a dog affectionately he too would call us both: Aaato!
Aaato! Aaato! (Do come here!) Both of us with zest would rush and stand in front of HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba. ‘Aaato! Aaato! Aaato!’ meant that he would give us both something to
eat. So divine was HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s love that on getting it both of us felt supremely
glorified. Say why would we not experience this when even a person meeting HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba for only 10-20 minutes felt that the latter was pouring down special love on the
visitor? And here we both were in HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s divine presence for many
years together and that too day in and day out.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba was divine cosmic consciousness manifest or Brahma Swaroop.
Even for a couple of moments someone would meet him HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would
14/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
pour such blessings on him/her that they would feel that moment was the most glorious one in
their life. On seeing HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba the thirst for God Realization would get
appeased. On seeing him it seemed that the devotee was actually meeting a Brahmarshi like
Vasishtha Muni or Almighty God Vedavyasji. On seeing him the divine experience of seeing a
Maharshi of Dwapar, Treta or Satyuga was accrued.
Entire India is well versed with Anant Shrivibhushit Shri Devraha Baba who is supreme amongst
all Self Realized Gurus mentioned in Gajendra Rakshak Puran. With reference to him such
thousands of spell binding episodes have taken place that he would have gained world renown.
Examples of these are giving blessings to India’s famous Prime Minister and giving her his hand
as symbol of her political party, giving Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru the cow as a symbol, Mahamana
Madan Mohan Malviyaji getting inner divine inspirations due to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s
grace, the grandfather of India’s first president Dr Rajendra Prasad and father of Pandit Motilal
Nehru getting initiated by HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba, 17 ancestral generations of Nepal’s
King being HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s disciples, 150 years previously Jaipur’s royal family
being HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s devotees, after the Jalianwala Bagh massacre in 1919 AD
converting 100 kilo copper into gold via the urine of one of his disciples, giving sacred teachings
to Qatar’s President in his own national language with reference to the Quran-e Sharif and
bringing back to life an old woman who had come with him and who had died, giving spiritual
initiation to London’s George 5th and telling his younger brother to renounce the desire to take
Sanyas and instead get married, making a prophecy to a Russian journalist of Russia getting
disintegrated (this prophecy was announced on Moscow TV), returning 64,000 acre land gifted
to him by Palkot King (Shri Omkarnathji) back to the king’s son, giving permission to Netaji
Subhash Chandra Bose to meet Adolf Hitler and blessing Netaji that Hitler would get influenced
by him and also saying that the East would prove to be a misfortune for Bose yet his mission
would succeed to a certain extent. Due to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s illness despite this
desire being made that he sheds his mortal coil in India only, HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said:
Child! You shall die in east only. At that time none could decipher the deep import of his
prophecy. In March-April of 1990 AD HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba told the ex PM of India
Rajiv Gandhi: Child! The southern direction is a bad omen for you. The birth place of South
India’s renowned Vaishnav Acharya Swami Ramanujacharya is near Chennai in a region called
Nairatya Kona (south-west). After talking to Rajiv Gandhi a bit about Swami Ramanujacharya,
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba further said: A thousand years back this region was called Shri
Mahabhutpuri. When Rajiv Gandhi asked him more about this place HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba said: Child! Please do not go there. Later Rajiv Gandhi did go there and died prematurely.
The present name of Shri Mahabhutpuri today is Perambatur. In 1989 in one day itself 6,500,000
people got the sacred Darshan of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. When this record was about to be
etched in the world famous Guinness’ Book of World Records, HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
stopped his followers from doing so by saying: Child! I do not want world fame. In order to ward
off dire times faced by Russia in the 2nd world war, when Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru prayed to HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba, the latter said: Entire Russia has my blessings. This century is full of
15/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
struggle and strife for my Russian children yet after the year 2020 AD for entire planet earth
great times and a radiant future shall usher in.
Many other divine sports/Lilas of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba include reprimanding Acharya
Vinoba Bhave for his foolish remarks, Mahatma Gandhi begging forgiveness on behalf of
Vinoba Bhaveji, telling Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru that a girl child shall be born to you and do
name her Indira, Indira shall rule India and shall gain world renown, extending Jai Prakash
Narayan’s life span by 5 years and making efforts to extend ex PM of India Rajiv Gandhi’s life
span by 12-13 years whose import none could understand.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would never sleep and was a Yogi right from the Dwapar Yuga. He
himself told us that his body was not born from a mother’s womb but that he had self created it
from the waters of River Saryu (India). His life span was said to be about a few thousands of
years. He could speak and understand all languages prevailing on entire planet earth. Once while
giving clarification regarding his age he had said: Child! If I make it absolutely clear with sound
proof what exactly is my age then even if India’s entire military and police force are put on duty
they will fail miserably in controlling the crowd of devotees coming to have my Darshan. The
crowd in the haste to have my Darshan shall crush each other to death. My body is very ancient.
By pointing at his body with his finger HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! This is not
made of 5 elements like those found in human gross bodies. This is in fact a divine body created
via Yoga power. No type of weapon, water, air, fire, earth etc can inflict any type of harm to it.
Once, a devotee asked HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba: Please give us some spiritual teaching.
Baba replied: Child! Do listen to my holy message. Even in this dark gloomy Kaliyuga (Dark
Era) I am sitting here to give Darshan to you all. Is this any less a teaching? Was HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba Maharshi Patanjali? He had spoken such things about the mysteries of our world’s
future that as of now cannot be elaborated upon by us disciples and cannot be published in this
book. There are thousands of astounding facts spoken by him that can make him world
renowned. What more can we say regarding this topic because the gist is that HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba had just no intention to attain world fame and glory. In fact he had closed tightly
shut all avenues that could make him world renowned. Yet what is mind boggling is that despite
all this, in India, he was the most spoken of and famous great saint. Swami Yoganandji for his
book and Pandit Gopinath Kaviraj for his world famous book ‘Manishi ki lok yatra’ had
requested permission from HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba to publish details regarding himself in
these books but HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba flatly refused to give permission. But due to Pandit
Gopinath Kaviraj heartfelt devoted plea no doubt did relent so as to give permission yet he also
said: Child! In merely 100-125 words you can write about me without giving full clarity so as to
fulfill your mind’s desire. Yet do keep in mind that do not give such propaganda regarding
myself that would result in me getting surrounded by huge crowds all 24 hours without any
respite for me. This is because I am very fond of solitude. Child! I am giving Darshan in this
world only to fulfill Almighty Lord’s sacred wish. Out of sheer compassion I perforce have to
16/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
bless devotees in order that their sorrow and agony get warded off. You are my very loving soul.
My unlimited kindness and grace pour on you.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba always opined that fame and glory are not in the best interest for
sages and saints. He would say that ordinary lay people on attaining fame would imbibe many
soul distortions. All these are major obstacles in attaining Self and God Realization. Hence as
much as is possible we must immerse ourselves in devotion to God in solitude. Some people may
think that if this is the case how can tasks for world welfare get executed? They must understand
that a person yearning well being in order to find a path for attaining well being in order to come
in contact with a true saint or devotee of God by becoming very restless always find a path of
well being. Are you trying to attain the mysterious wisdom of spirituality sleeping on your bed
snuggled in a silken blanket? This spiritual wisdom certainly is not cheap. Beloved child! For
this due efforts have to be made.
In this present book beloved readers shall get to read only some rare miraculous incidences
conjoined to blessings given by HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba out of sheer grace on his part and
yet he never thought miracles to be anything good to run after. Despite this he was the most
miraculous saint prevailing in the entire world. Ordinary folks carry out small time spiritual
practices simply with the intention of amassing miraculous powers. A devotee trapped by the
desire to attain miraculous powers follow the path of illusion inadvertently because behind the
yearning to attain fame lie hidden the desire to amass material grandeur and material joyous
comforts. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would call this devotion Rajasic (based on selfish gains)
and Tamasic (selfish gains in order to use them for attaining sadistic pleasures). In fact he would
urge all his devotees to worship God without harboring any desire of any sort. He would advise
that it is only when all material desires like attaining wealth, fame, respect, status, renown, fan
following etc that in reality can we devote ourselves to God and when we attain God Realization
all Ridhi-Sidhis (material powers and divine powers) by becoming our male and female servants
vie with one another to serve such a true devotee of God.
Once a devotee of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba asked him: Sir! Are you a Sidha (God Realized
Guru)? As an answer HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! All Sidhis have been left far
behind. I am much above all these Sidhis. Ordinary folks could not understand all this. That
Super Divine Energy (Mahashakti) that is the central point of this world’s creation meaning that
which is the Supreme Divine Existence called Virat Purusha or Cosmic Consciousness by Vedas
if a devotee or Yogi immerses in it inwardly the entire cosmos and atoms-molecules become
active in accordance with them. This then verily is the true meaning of attaining Sidhis. We
attain that which we truly desire. When a Yogi or God’s devotee experiences this Supreme
Divine Existence in his/her soul which now becomes cosmic in nature then everything in the
cosmos acts as per his/her wishes. Nothing happens against his/her wishes. Hence what shall
such a one commence and what shall he end? It is only Ajnanis or spiritually ignorant people that
give importance to miracles and express wonder on witnessing them. No doubt it has definitely
been seen in this world that since worldly creatures are engulfed by delusion, Maya and ‘I’ or
17/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
limited ego based attachments to the world and its objects, from the sacred lips of great devotees
of God and saints moved by these creatures’ anguish, some blessings do gush forth. Since such
speech of true god realized saints is divine in nature it follows that it can never get falsified and
thus it is labeled a ‘miracle’ by the world. Inspired by such great divine inspirations, saints can
maybe shown doing such divine sports (Lilas). Just as despite Saint Kabir telling a dead child to
awaken in the name of his mother-father yet he did not do so then Saint Kabir said again: Please
get up in the name of Lord Rama. Yet, the child did not come back to life. Then Saint Kabir said
again: Please get up in the name of Kabir. Now the dead child came back to life. This same type
of episode took place with reference to Saint Tulsidasji. One devotee told him: O revered saint! I
wish to cross River Saryu but since no boatman is there on duty how shall I go to the other
shore? Saint Tulsidasji said: Chant Ram’s name and walk on the river to cross it. The devotee
tried doing this but when he started drowning he returned saying: O saint! Your Ramji has no
power. I was just about to die. Saint Tulsidasji while showcasing his greatness got from incessant
chanting of Lord Ram’s holy name said: Go! Cross the river walking while chanting ‘TulsiTulsi’. The devotee did exactly this and lo behold! He actually crossed the river walking on his
feet without drowning at all. This same type of incident was described to us by HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba. He asked us: O devotee! Do you know how to swim? We said: No revered Sir!
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! Then do learn swimming because when you start
drowning in the river what shall happen? We said: O Sir! We shall meditate on Lord Varah. He
replied: No child! With such thinking your task shall not get fulfilled. Thus, one after another,
we talked of praying to Kacchap, Matsya etc who are Avatars of Almighty God.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: No Child! You are able to think of praying thus at present
only because when you start drowning you shall panic so much that no such prayer shall issue
forth. Child! Till today have you ever meditated on Lord Varah? No revered Sir! HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba said: say then child! At that moment of sheer panic how shall you meditate at all?
Hence at such a dire hour you must remember me because each moment you think of me only.
Hence think of me only because at such a panic hour this shall be easily possible to do so. When
you think of me you shall actually feel my presence in a very tangible manner. From this talk we
understood that it was written in our destiny to drown in untold amount of water and yet with HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s grace get saved also. Great Yogis and devotees of God due to
Almighty Lord’s wishes give their disciples such commands. In it they have no selfish interest or
the standpoint of getting fame. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba gave innumerable spell binding
miraculous blessings to devotees and thus the latter experienced untold well being. On seeing his
residence and naked body it became quite clear that he only destroyed the worry and sorrow of
his disciples and devotees and never ever took wealth or anything else in return. On seeing that
many devotees yearned to do charity HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba inspired them to serve cows,
build lakes in arid areas and digging wells. He would always tell us both Guru-brothers: Child!
Even if after becoming a Sanyasi or hermit you make a pocket in your robe so as to fill it with
cash know for sure that according to revered Rishis of yore it is very much akin to keeping cow’s
flesh in your pocket (i.e. it is a big sin). You both must become true sages and keep afar from
18/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
dualities of worldly living like censure-praise, honor-insult etc. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
always inspired devotees and disciples coming or residing with him to keep chanting Ram or
God’s name all the time. He was extremely fond of hearing Kirtans of Lord Ram. Once, in the
19th century he was immersed in Samadhi or trance at night by lighting a fire pyre in front of him
in a jungle in the vicinity of Vaishno Devi-India. Over here the Divine Mother of the world
Parvatiji Jagadambika Bhavani appeared in front of him and said: You are a very divinely
powerful saint. The world shall definitely listen to you. Hence do inspire the very unhappy
public of India to meditate on Ram-Lakshman-Janaki and incessantly remember Lord Ram’s
holy name. Thus innumerable people shall get uplifted both materially and spiritually. Hence
please come out of your Samadhi or trance state. On having your holy Darshan living beings
trapped in the mesh of sins shall get untold inner peace. Mere Darshan of yours spiritual
consciousness shall manifest manifold the world over. Ever since then HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba started commanding all devotees coming to him to do Japa of Ram’s holy name.
Come! Let us all now read more about the rare incomparable blessings HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba has poured on innumerable people. Thus we shall attain true well being despite the fact that
we have published a very miniscule number of such divinely inspiring episodes. Even so we
harbor hope that those reading these divine episodes related to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba and
his devotees some very thrilling information shall definitely come our way.

CHAPTER 1
AN EPISODE RELATED TO INDIA’S FIRST PRESIDENT-DR RAJENDRA PRASAD
Why was it that Dr Rajendra Prasad only was elected as President of India when it was a fact that
he was not enjoying a large public following like Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Mahatma Gandhi and
so on? The reason maybe any yet we harbor faith in such a hidden cause behind this reason that
does not quite get grasped by laymen. The cause of this cause was the divine lotus hands full of
blessings and grace on Dr Rajendra Prasad. Just as when a mango seed is sown that by not giving
fruits in the immediate future instead very quietly commences showing its influence in a slow
steady manner and then after 5-7 years it shows its total effect in the form of big sweet luscious
mangos growing on this full grown tree. Similarly the blessings of great saints as per their wish
either bear results immediately or in the far off future. Scholars of logic may argue that great
saintly personages via their divine energy or divine vision on noting future time tasks highlight
them much in advance. Thus the public gets mind boggled yet we believe that from deep within
the divine sports of great saints it is Almighty God’s power that executes its wondrous
20/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
miraculous feats. A very dry topic like logic can never understand the hidden mysteries or causes
of the divine sports of great saints oozing with grace, love and devotion to God.
Via an intellect brimming with logic man can speak a lot because logic akin to a drum without
possessing anything concrete within since it is hollow manifest nothing but hollow arguments
externally.
This episode is regarding that time when India’s first President was aged between 10-15 years.
At that time this boy would ask his grandfather that since how many years are you having HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s Darshan? As an answer his grandfather would say: Son! When I was
of your age I started going for HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s Darshan. And till today I am
seeing him as he was before. By having his Darshan I get special joy and on hearing his
nectarine speech all my spiritual curiosities get solved. When along with his grandfather Dr
Rajendra Prasad started visiting HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba the latter would converse with his
grandfather. The child out of child like playfulness would play nearby where trees, leaves, fruits
etc abounded. Sometimes in between the child would hear what HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
and his grandfather said to each other. Sometimes noting this boy’s playfulness his grandfather
would chide him and if he forcefully tried to discipline the boy HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
would say: O Child! This boy is very cultured with a good character. My blessings and grace
pour on him a lot. When his special mental qualities shall awaken you shall not be alive. When
they would leave HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would give the boy very sweet luscious fruits as
special blessings and along with a curious but very attractive slight smile would give his
blessings. He would teach the boy: Child! When you come again for my Darshan do get this little
boy also with you. Once during a conversation when the episode of HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba’s blessings was being discussed Dr Rajendra Prasad had said that later also after
completing studies I would visit HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba for his sacred Darshan. Sometimes
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would look deep into my eyes in a special way and at other times
he would also say: O Child! You are a king. I felt HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s behavior
towards me when compared to other people visiting him was a bit different. I understood the
hidden mystery of all these incidences only after I got elected as the first President of India. After
actually becoming President when I visited HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba for sacred Darshan so
as to thank him for his grace then during our conversation he again said: O Child! You are a
king. Mentally experiencing shyness I thought to myself:
Gagan chadhai raj pawan prasanga.
Milahi keech neech jal sanga.
It means that dust of the ground possesses no glory of its own. When on associating with wind
this dust spreads out in the sky above and on conjoining to water is known as very lowly
quagmire.
21/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Similarly I possess no importance or glory yet in whichever position I am in today it is only the
grace and blessings of you (HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba). This episode in a couple of sentences
has been written by India’s 1st President Dr Rajendra Prasad in his book ‘Autobiography of Dr
Rajendra Prasad’.
CHAPTER 2
SPIRITUAL MESSAGE GIVEN BY HH MAHAYOGI DEVRAHA BABA TO INDIA’S
FIRST MUSLIM PRESIDENT
In the year 1966 AD Dr Zakir Hussain (India’s 1st Muslim President) visited HH Devraha Baba
for Darshan in Prayagraj-Allahbad where a Maha Kumbh Mela was organized. After prostrating
at HH Devraha Baba’s sacred feet he got Baba’s blessings. The President had some spiritual
questions related to the Quran-e-Sharif which he asked Baba in Persian language. As a reply
Baba spoke in Persian and thus clarified the meanings of a few Ayats of Quran-e-Sharif.
The words that HH Devraha Baba spoke to Dr Zakir Hussain from the Quran-e-Sharif rendered
the President spell bound when he noted the mastery of language and omniscient nature of HH
Devraha Baba. On having Darshan of Mahayogi HH Devraha Baba Sarkar full of wisdom,
knowledge, devotion to God and an icon of divine love the President was simply wonderstruck.
Later the President said that I never knew that on planet earth such wise, deep thinking and
22/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
omniscient saints are present. In this very Kumbh Mela a World Sanskrit Conference was
organized. As per the humble request of the chief of this conference and other senior officials
HH Devraha Baba kindly agreed to go there. There along with remembering Almighty God HH
Devraha Baba gave a nectarine speech too. He unfolded the main portions of Vedas, Puranas,
Upanishads, other scriptures, Panini Grammar etc and thus the great glory of Sanskrit language
was showcased.
HH Devraha Baba said that Vedic Knowledge is the Supreme Science. Only with its help can
world humanity attain the golden benefit of eternal peace. Sanskrit language is spoken in just
about all worlds/Lokas. Not only is Sanskrit language worldwide in nature but that to label it
cosmos pervading is certainly not inapt. By imbibing Sanskrit language the path to attain
Supreme Divine Wisdom opens up easily. In this very sacred speech when HH Devraha Baba in
detail analyzed some very difficult Mantras from a chapter of Samaveda the large group of
internationally renowned scholars present there on witnessing Baba’s irresistible great scholarly
prowess very naturally realized that it is Goddess Saraswati herself who spoke from the hallowed
lips of Revered Devraha Baba since she resides eternally in Baba’s divine soul. This is because
such difficult precious Mantra gems gush forth from the mouth only after deep reflection,
meditation and thinking that too for a long time span. HH Devraha Baba would say:
Brahmacharya (it means both sexual continence and immersing the psyche in thoughts of
Almighty God called Brahman or divine cosmic consciousness) is that fertile ground wherein the
sapling of Yoga sprouts forth. it is only with the power of Brahmacharya that Kundalini Shakti
or Divine Serpent Power awakens. It is only due to the power of Brahmacharya that Kundalini
Super Energy can be reinstated in the 1000 petal lotus present in the brain region called
Brahmarandhra in Yoga terminology. Thus such a devotee gets the divine vision and experience
of Brahmajyoti or Divine Light.
HH Devraha Baba said: ‘Brahmacharyena tapasa devomrityumapaghnat’-with the power of
austerity due to observance of Brahmacharya that demigods gained victory over death. It is due
to this power only that one never forgets anything that one studies. Strength, zest, daring,
steadfastness, revolution, divine aura, divine light and truth pertaining to the body and soul
heavily depend on Brahmacharya. Both Brahmacharya and truth are mutually dependent on each
other. If one imbibes even one of these in a complete manner then the other gets imbibed without
any special effort on our part. Devotees and scholars by goind beyond bodily identification must
carry out all their tasks. Even a little bit of spiritual uplifting helps us all experience, the bondage
of the body as trivial. The body is Mithya or fleeting due to Almighty God’s power of illusion
and is the cause of world creation. The soul is a conscious divine principle.
BRAHMA SATYAM JAGAT MITHYA (GOD IS TRUTH AND WORLD IS FALSE):
While giving the example of demon Ravan, HH Devraha Baba said: He was a scholar of high
stature and a supreme devotee of Lord Shiva. Yet because of 3 taints in him, Ravan got
destroyed. These were:
23/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
1) Passionate attachment towards many women who were not his lawfully wedded wife.
2) Eating food that must be avoided at all costs.
3) Vain arrogant pride regarding his bodily might
Due to these 3 taints Ravan got totally destroyed. Regarding this Saint Kabirdas says:
Ek lakh puta sava lakh nati.
Ta ravan ghar diya na bati.
On this very topic Saint Brahmanandji says:
Bade bade prithvi ke raja, priyavrat sagar saman re.
Miley sabahi dharti ke mahin, rahya ne ek nishan re.
Hence the physical body is illusory and the soul in it is truth eternal. The wisdom of the soul or
Atman principle has been detailed by the Upanishads and the Vedas. These Vedas have been
written in Sanskrit language. Hence the knowledge of Sanskrit language while walking the path
of attaining the Divine Truth or Almighty God on its own is complete with divine great import.
The divine teachings of HH Devraha Baba had in a trance like manner mind boggled both great
scholars and the ordinary huge lay audience in such a manner that they forgot how much time
had lapsed by. In such a big gathering silence got broken only when HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba stopped speaking so in such a nectarine manner after saying: Shriman Narayan!
After this as per HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s command all scholars present encouraged the
entire huge gathering there to chant ‘Shriman Narayan Narayan Narayan’ for 5 minutes
continuously.

CHAPTER 3
THE OMNISCIENT MAYAYOGI HH DEVRAHA BABA AND A BRITISH SPY
What shall be described now is during time previous to India gaining political freedom from
British alien rule. During history’s worst times India was under foreign rule first under Muslims
and then under Britain. In the year 1922 AD when the movement by revolutionists to free India
from alien rule had reached great momentum more new revolutionaries by taking a vow to even
sacrifice their precious lives for this great cause were joining in activities to topple British Rule.
Since the crowd of revolutionaries was increasing day by day the alien British rulers had to face
newer dire problems. Whenever the alien rulers felt suspicion of the presence of incognito
revolutionaries they would shoot them at sight. Whenever they got information regarding secret
meetings of these Indian revolutionaries they would catch them, put them behind bars and treat
them so horrifically that they would finally die.
Under such circumstances leading revolutionaries took shelter of HH Devraha Baba. They would
approach HH Devraha Baba incognito in a secretive manner with a strong resolve to free India
25/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
from foreign rule. Thus for this end they would approach him to get his sacred commands and
blessings. When spies working for British govt. gave this information to their seniors the latter
started spying on HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba residing in a hut built on a riverside in the deep
jungle area. HH Devraha Baba would tell us: Child! These revolutionaries out of sheer patriotic
love for their country India would remain hiding without food and water for many days.
Sometimes they would eat only grams and jiggery. Indian people too out of fear of British
officials would not give shelter to these revolutionaries. Child! They had to perform intense
austerities for India’s freedom fight. The blood of so many flowed away like river water, so
many died enduring bodily difficulties and perforce executed such tasks not at all wishing to do
so like murdering, violence, bomb planting etc just so that their beloved mother land India gets
freedom from alien rule.
HH Devraha Baba would say: Child! In order to find out whether these revolutionaries are
coming for my Darshan the British govt. appointed spies. Throughout the day hundreds of people
would come for my Darshan and so many amongst them would talk to me. Amongst these
British spies would mingle about. Just as everybody would come for Darshan with gifts like
fruits, garlands, sweets etc these British spies too would do exactly this. As per HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba’s orders everyone was given Prasad in return. In this big crowd these spies too
were given Prasad. These spies would don many types of garbs like veils akin to those worn by
Muslim women, Sardarji’s or an ascetic and thus come for Darshan. Their only mission was that
lest they found any revolutionary coming to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba they could inform their
seniors and thus put them in jail. But when after many days of spying thus when one particular
spy found no clue he in despair came for the final Darshan and after bowing down in this
humungous crowd he left that place. After he had walked away at a distance of a few meters HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba shouted aloud: O spying child! Please take Prasad and then leave. On
hearing this, the spy stood dumbfounded like a still statue. He was wonderstruck that despite
trying to execute his spying mission with such secretive deftness how did HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba know that he had come to spy on HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba and his hermitage? He
returned to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba, bowed down to him and with a choked voice said:
Please do forgive me. I thought you were just an ordinary hermit yet you identified me correctly.
You verily are the all knowing omniscient great Yogi-saint. The future, present and past of none
can remain hidden from your divine eye. You are definitely omniscient. HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba said: Child! Please open your heart to me so that everyone can know this mysterious secret.
Thus the spy clearly spoke about his spying mission and everyone present were astounded that
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba knew each minute detail of everyone approaching him for Darshan
even if the crowd was very gigantic. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! It is good you told
us all this. But tell us that since you had come here to spy what exactly did you find here? That
spy devotee said: HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba! I found a true Yogi, saint and ascetic in your
form. It is very rare to easily meet such a highly revered great saint.

In reality revolutionaries lived such a nature based lifestyle that for him there was just no need
that could be even a wee bit difficult to fulfill. For example there was no discomfort as far as
unavailability of water is concerned because he would reside on shores of rivers like Ganga,
Yamuna etc. He was never seen eating any food at all. In his very initial stage of life he would
sustain his body devouring fruits, flowers, leaves etc growing in jungles. After around the year
1940 AD it was possible for him to remain alive hale and heartily merely on 100 gm of cow
milk. He would never use salt, sugar etc. that is devoured by ordinary humans. HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba’s body was Yogic and was not born from a mother’s womb. In very ancient times
in the direction of River Saryu’s fount where Mother Saryu is called Ramganga there in Kalap
Gram (which is also known as Jnanganj) HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba via his Yogic powers
converted his subtle divine body into a gross visible physical body. He performed this Yogic
process by residing within River Saryu waters for a fair length of time. The arrangement of food
for his Yogic body was in the form of eating only every 15 days. Sometimes once a week HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba would eat 10 gm jiggery, 2 or 3 pepper corns and with a little clarified
butter made from cow milk some stems of margosa or neem tree leaves were given to him daily
which he kept with himself. We cannot say whether he would keep eating a few leaves because
none would count the 200 leaves present on these stems. About 100 gram cow milk (half
monthly or monthly) and drinking lots of water was his food habit yet none could totally clarify
when and what he would eat. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar also spoke about certain herbs
akin to mustard seeds if kept in the mouth then for 15-20 days a Yogi need not eat any other food
item. Regarding seeds HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba had told us about many important facts that
shall be further clarified in the next chapter of this book. Finally what exactly did HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba eat, regarding this despite serving him for all 24 hours in his divine presence for
many years together, we can only say what we have described above.

CHAPTER 4
COMING BACK TO LIFE OR RESURRECTION AFTER DYING
After HH Devraha Baba shed his mortal coil on 19th June 1990 AD on Thursday 21st June 1990
AD HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s gross body was given post death rites in the sacred waters of
River Yamuna. At that time all his devotees immersed in untold sorrow gathered in hordes at this
Samadhi spot of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. After these post death rites some devotees got
together to plan a Bhandara or feeding as many people as possible and other spiritual programs
too. Amongst them was a devotee of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba named Lala Pokharmalji
Goyal. He was affectionately called ‘foolish child’ by HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. It was
decided in this meeting as to who would help out in this spiritual program. After this all devotees
with a heavy heart left for their homes. It was decided to hold this Bhandara or feeding program
16-17 days after HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba shed his coil. After 10-12 days a chef was
appointed by Lala Pokharmalji Goyal to start making arrangements for cooking food and on
overseeing the program preparations Goyalji returned home. After returning home Goyalji again
experienced hernia pain which was about 35 years old. At the spot of pain 35 years previously a
hernia surgery had already been carried out. The family physician advised that Goyalji must
28/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
approach a senior doctor in a well known hospital for getting cured. Thus his family members
got Goyalji admitted into City Clinic. The doctor there on noting that the case was very serious
operated on Goyalji within 2-3 days itself. Above the navel on both sides of the operated area 2
pipes were placed that collected dirty water emitted by the stomach. After this in 2-4 days the
doctor gave permission to Goyalji leave the hospital. One doctor from the clinic daily came to
Goyalji’s home for medical checkup. After 4-5 days, in no way the dirty water emitted by the
stomach would stop gushing out. Hence since the operation proved a failure the doctor asked
Goyalji to get re admitted to the hospital. Two days after Goyalji got re admitted the operated
region was opened up. The wound in the stomach resulting due to emission of dirty water present
in it was now cleaned with a soft cloth wetted in medicine. Thus each day this operated area
would be opened and cleaned properly. This went on for 7 days. Due to this cleansing Goyalji
experienced so much pain that he would writhe in agony. Thus devotee Goyalji in sheer anguish
started praying to HH Devraha Baba thus: O Guru Maharaj! Instead of enduring this writhing
agony either you let me die or get me cured completely. That very night Goyalji on being
administered tranquilizers slept quite peacefully. After about 3.30 am in the morning Goyalji got
a vivid dream. He saw in the dream that 4 Yamdoots (aides of God of death) long in height, very
strong in body and with a terrible hue together picked up devotee Goyalji and started carrying
him to some quite unknown place. At that time Goyalji saw sky and only sky everywhere. When
they took him up very high in the sky there Goyalji saw HH Sarkar Devraha Baba seated on a
deerskin. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba asked: Child (Yama aides)! Why have you brought this
devotee of mine here? The Yama aides replied: His sojourn on earth has ended. HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba said: His time on earth shall end only when I say so. After speaking thus HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba snatched away devotee Goyalji from Yama aides’ hands after scolding
them angrily. Then the 4 aides fell down and catching hold of Goyalji threw him down. When he
fell down Goyalji cried out loudly only to find he had fallen on his hospital bed. His pious wife
who was sleeping by his side got up on hearing this wail and asked him what the problem was.
Goyalji said that Guruji HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba threw me down and hence there is no one
more powerful than him who can save me. Hence you must call our children here. I shall advise
them about accounts etc because I do not when I shall breathe my last. Goyalji’s lone son Suresh
Goyal on getting the telephonic message arrived at the hospital immediately. After advising his
son about everything he started detailing all household and business accounts. At about 11 am
the doctor came. Like every day the doctor opened the bandage on the wound and lo behold the
wound had healed in a major way. The wound had almost dried up and after 6 days the doctors
closed the stomach area via surgery. A lot of work has to be done by Goyalji. The doctors on
noting such amazing healing of the wound expressed wonder and on the 3rd day Goyalji got
discharged from the hospital. On getting this life span extension due to HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba’s grace his health improved a lot quite quickly.

CHAPTER 5
THE YOGA TECHNIQUE OF VAJRAULI MUDRA DEMONSTRATED IN ORDER TO
REFORM A BRITISH COLLECTOR
(RAJA YOGA, SANKHYA YOGA, KARMA YOGA, BHAKTI YOGA)
Once during British Rule in India before India gained freedom in the year 1947 HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba resided along with his disciples on a loft built on the River Ganga banks about 15
km distance from Kanpur City. At a very short distance from HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s loft
resided a few disciples of his in huts made from wood, leaves etc. These disciples akin to the
Rishi clan of yore would get initiated by HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba into spiritual principles
and Yoga practices when they had spare time from these studies they would serve their beloved
Gurudeva Baba. These disciples would practice many Yoga Mudras under the watchful eye of
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba like the 10 Hath Yoga Mudras called:
1) Maha Mudra
30/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
2) Mahabandh
3) Mahavedh
4) Khechri Mudra
5) Uddiyan Bandh
6) Mool Bandh
7) Jalandhar Bandh
8) Viparitkarani Mudra
9) Vajrauli Mudra
10) Shakti Chalini Mudra
They would also daily practice for long hours Yoga techniques of Dhyana Yoga, Naad Yoga,
Laya Yoga, 84 Asans, Pranayam, Dhauti, Neti, Basti, Tratak, Kapal Bhati, Dhyan, Dharana and
Samadhi under Sadgurudeva HH Devraha Baba’s divine guidance.
This area was very lonely and full of calm silence. There was no noise of any sort. Yet
sometimes Kanpur City’s British Collector would come for hunting sport in a big boat in this
thick jungle with a rifle in hand. Thus he would exhibit his very cruel harsh nature. Such people
generally are restless and more agitated than normal. This inner restlessness can be seen as cruel
activities externally carried out by them. From bullets coming out of these guns the loud noise all
birds of the jungle would chatter aloud in sheer fear. Apart from this the noise of these bullets
released from guns would disturb those saints, hermits etc doing meditation-concentration
practices. Hence HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s disciples residing there would get quite
discontented. They would pray to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba: Sir! Please solve this problem.
Due to this gun shooting, we face major obstacles while meditating and trying to focus the mind.
It is such a wonder that on the one hand devotees immersed in divine thoughts repent so much
even if erroneously they kill an ant or mosquito. Yet at the other end worldly people under the
spell of Maya or spiritual ignorance by killing creatures just for pastime hunting instill agony in
creatures. They feel sadistic pleasure and ‘pride’ by saying: Today we killed this many number
of creatures or else we hunted down so many birds-beasts. Our aim is so perfect that we kill
swiftly flying birds in air too. If even a small thorn pierces man’s skin, his cries out in pain. Thus
if only we human try to put ourselves in the shoes of birds-animals who have to endure so much
agony when their hands-feet get chopped off or a certain portion of the body gets wounded a lot
due to a gun’s bullet aimed at it we too shall realize what bodily and mental pain we too shall
have to undergo under such similar circumstances.
31/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
One day this British Collector came to this jungle for hunting pastime and after roaming about
reached HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s hermitage. He asked his interpreter as to who were these
people in the hermitage. The interpreter said that they are sages and saints of India. In the
meantime when HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba called out that Collector and his 10-15 Indian
friends came to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. They all were tired and hence HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba gave sweets to them and cool water to drink. After this the Collector asked the
interpreter as to what these people do here? HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba replied: Child! We
give teaching here to try and experience the divine presence of Almighty God just about
everywhere. Via spiritual practices and devotion saints and sages attain Self or God Realization.
This Collector was an atheist and since his intellect was very gross only he asked as to what
happens if one attains God vision? HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba replied: Child! After this
attainment nothing more remains to be achieved. After this no duty remains to be executed. God
attainment is such a task that on fulfilling it we do not get bound to actions and activities. It is
God’s divine power that pervades every atom of the cosmos and this hence is true power. The
Collector said: Our modern science has made so many things hence via God’s power can you
make something? HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba replied: Yes child! With God’s divine energy it
is possible to make just about anything that too with perfect ease. In this no human effort is
required. Again the Collector told the interpreter: Can this revered saint (HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba) showcase his divine powers and a miraculous feat? HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba asked in
return: Child! Tell me what is the biggest achievement by modern science today? After thinking
deeply a lot he said ‘petroleum’. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Where and how is petroleum
made? The Collector replied saying after removing it from underground in big factories and
refineries it is manufactured. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! I am sure to manufacture
it a lot of expenses are incurred. The Collector said yes. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said:
Child! What power or force is present in petroleum? He said: It is a very inflammable liquid. By
burning petrol a lot of energy is released. With this energy many tasks can be performed. Every
inflammable material does release some amount of energy. From the price viewpoint least
expensive and from the burning capacity standpoint being highly inflammable, petrol today has
reached peaks of great importance the world over. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! Tell
the Collector that such an important thing you mentioned flows in the urine of my dog. The
Collector was aghast and muttered again and again: It is impossible! HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba said: Child! What none can do is my task. God’s divine power first by destroying the word
‘impossible’ renders anything under the sun most possible. After this HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba asked: Child! Would you like to see this feat? With great enthusiasm the Collector said: Oh
yes! HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba calling one of his disciples said to him: Can you open your
loin cloth and pass urine in front of everyone? The disciple said: If you compassionately agree to
absolve me of the sin of openly urinating in front of you who are my Revered Guru, I shall carry
out any command given by you. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Yes Child! I forgive you in
advance for this sin. In order to obstruct this Collector from killing innocent birds-beasts and
then render him a true devotee of God I command you to showcase this Yogic process by
32/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
removing your loin cloth as taught to you by me. Know for sure that no sin befalls on you. Due
to my sacred grace since you by indirectly aiding the Collector to renounce sinful acts and
instead help him follow the path of devotion to God, you shall attain super grace and good sacred
merits called Punya. The interpreter was all the time interpreting this conversation and on getting
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s command the disciple removed his loin cloth and stood naked in
front of all present there. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba ordered the Collector: Child! Do you
have any extra piece of cloth with you? The Collector had a small towel with him so HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: That’s fine! Give this towel to my disciple saint. This disciple
spread this towel on the ground below and in a standing position started passing urine which fell
on this towel. This towel thus got wet with urine. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba told the
Collector: Child! Can you try and find out if there is any burning property in this towel wet with
urine? The Collector threw a lit matchstick on the wet towel which started blazing with fire. The
Collector was dumbstruck and with a mind boggled joy felt truly amazed. When the Collector
collected his wits HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba commanded him not to kill any creature. This
teaching was now understood by the Collector. Later this Collector became an unswerving
devotee of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba and in a few days again came for HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba’s Darshan with his wife. As long as HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba resided in this
region the Collector would come every 10 days or so to associate and have HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba’s Darshan for a couple of hours. After a certain time period this Collector got
transferred to Kashipuri or Banaras-India. At that time HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba was residing
in the thick dark jungles of Amarkantak. Even there when the Collector got spare time he would
visit HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. A lion of this jungle was HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s
disciple. This episode shall be described ahead in this book.

CHAPTER 6
AN EPISODE RELATED TO THE MAGAZINE ‘INDIA TODAY’
During the winter of 1990 AD in order to meet HH Devraha Baba Sarkar a devotee child called
Manoj Raghuvanshi aged about 30 years came there. He was representing the magazine ‘India
today’ and had an audio tape recorder too with him. HH Devraha Baba Sarkar was residing on a
loft built on the other shore of River Yamuna. An area of about 2 acres of land surrounding his
loft fulfilled the purpose of an Ashram or hermitage and it was enclosed by bamboo, dried grass
and leaves. Manoj asked some very thrilling questions to HH Devraha Baba Sarkar which he
audio taped on his recorder. The answers given by HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba are available as
Video Cassettes in the Ashram. The full Video recording of this interview is not available. Hence
over here we present a very hair rising story. When a question was asked by Manoj regarding
modern science HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba replied: Child! Today your science is yet half
complete only because it has no power to convert an ass to a human being. On hearing this
devotee Manoj was dumbfounded. What was further said by HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba was
that much more mind boggling. He said: Child! A worm called wasp by catching a worm of
another species encloses it in its hole and converts this worm into a wasp of its own species. In
this activity the wasp does not use any external energy. Instead by applying its own inner energy
the wasp executes this task without spreading any pollution and it is done very calmly. Child! As
34/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
of now your science possesses no such capacity to do something which a mere wasp does hence
say, how can modern science understand the heavenly heights of spirituality? Child! Man’s
modern science achievements are even lesser in stature than the science of worms.
CHAPTER 7
HH DEVRAHA BABA SARKAR ON THE DAIS OF VISHWA HINDU PARISHAD IN
MAHAKUMBH OF 1989
Rom the sacred speech and external behavior of Brahmarshiyogi Samrat Shri Devraha Baba
Sarkar the extraordinary confluence of secularism could be perceived. In the year 1989 during
Kumbh Mela in Prayag Raj-India all saints, Mahants, heads of ashrams, Jagadgurus and
Shankaracharyas had gathered together. Under the banner of Vishwa Hindu Parishad a very big
conference had been planned wherein on behalf of all HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba was invited
in a special manner. Whereas HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba preferred to dwell on his loft in sheer
solitude far away from huge crowds, he would not go anywhere, yet on seeing this special plea
of the organizers HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba agreed to go there for a short time frame. About
the time between 4-5 pm HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba requested to sit in a car was being driven
to the dais of the conference. Accompanying him in this car was Bade Maharajji (HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba’s chief disciple) and a Brahmin driver of the car. Over there Vishwa Hindu
Parishad had made such a microphone arrangement on the dais that 5000 speakers set up in the
audience area could be heard quite a few miles away. Right since morning announcements were
35/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
being made about HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s arrival in the evening for the conference. It was
gauged that about a crowd of 1,000,000 people shall gather there. The car in which HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba was being driven stood standstill at a distance of about 200 meters
away from the dais due to some problem in the car’s machine. Around HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba’s car there was such a huge mob that one could see a sea of people only and nothing else.
The moment the crowd realized that the car was not working properly the so many people in the
crowd raised the car on their heads.
Only such a one can gauge how humungous the crowd was who has been present during the
main bathing (Shahi Snan) ritual during a Kumbh Mela. How frenzied were people for having
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s Darshan first and that how people were magnetically attracted to
him if one was present in the Haridwar’s Mahakumbh of 1986 AD or Prayag Raj’s Mahakumbh
in 1989 AD on main important dates. In order to gather crowds the chanting of ‘Brahmarshi
Yogi Samrat Shri Devraha Baba Sarkar’ was a Super Mantra in itself. The crowd which had
raised HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s car on their heads now kept it near the dais of Vishwa
Hindu Parishad conference and HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba coming out of the car stepped on to
the dais. Over there were present leading saints, Mahants, Mathadhishas and Jagatguru
Shankaracharyas etc who all in unison respectfully greeted HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba and
said that HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba is the Saint amongst all saints. Due to Kaliyug’s wrath sin
is spreading everywhere and hence we saints go to various regions in India to give discourses on
Gita, Ramayan, Bhagwat etc so that the public accrues well being. We no doubt bestow well
being on the public yet we incur certain taints also due to eating food at different places with
people of both good/bad mentalities and also due to getting a lot of honor from them. Hence we
saints on attaining your holy Darshan (HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s) and sacred association
(Satsang) since you are a great Vibhooti of just about all castes, sects, religions etc we become
self fulfilled and all taints accrued mentioned above are washed off by your hallowed blessings.
Hence it is you who divinely bestow on us all our true well being. We saints are here to sanctify
the world but it is you the ‘Saints of all saints’ who purifies all of us saints. After this on the
microphone people were egged on to chant ‘Victory to the Saints of all saints Shri Devraha Baba
Sarkar’ and all the thousands of people gathered there followed suit. HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba has gone way beyond all religious narrow mindedness and his very Darshan washes off all
our sins accrued due to this Kaliyuga’s dark influence. Thus human psyche oozes with purity,
peace, divinity, world brotherhood and soul unity. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s divine speech
instills a strong sense of world friendship when he says: Children! You all are mine and I verily
am yours. Thus we say devotedly ‘Victory to our beloved Brahmarshi Yogi Samrat Shri Devraha
Baba who is a Saint amongst all world saints’.

CHAPTER 8
ONE MAHAKUMBH MELA, ONE HARIDWAR, ONE RIVER GANGA YET TWO HH
MAHAYOGI DEVRAHA BABA
(EPISODE WITNESSED IN HARIDWAR-INDIA MAHA KUMBH IN 1986 AD)
In the 1986 Haridwar Kumbh Mela (in India) HH Mahayogi Shri Devraha Baba was seated on
his loft. Daily in a ceaseless manner a huge crowd of devotees would gather near HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba’s loft. People felt glorified on attaining HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s sacred
Darshan and those who did not get the chance to have Darshan would repent saying that only
when HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s desires can they have his Darshan. Even if we intensely
desire yet without HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s assent nothing can be achieved. Not only
would the huge crowd have HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s Darshan but a big teeming crowd of
great saints too would rush there for the same. One day in the 1986 Haridwar Kumbh Mela when
the Shahi Snan (main auspicious date for bathing in the River Ganga) took place all leading
saints-Mahants decided to humbly invite HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba to bathe first in
Brahmakunda. On the Shahi Snan (main auspicious date for bathing in the River Ganga) day it is
a protocol that Naga Babas (naked ascetics) are given the opportunity to bathe first. If anyone
even tries to bathe first before these Naga Babas the latter start fighting and may kill the culprits
37/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
too. Those who had stayed for the whole of 1998 Haridwar Kumbh Mela should be well aware of
how wrathful is the nature of these Naga Babas. Yet when any religious sect, community and
caste would hear the name of HH Mahayogi Shri Devraha Baba they all would immediately
renounce all enmity and communal hatred so as to calm down totally. All of them would yearn
devotedly that let us all rush to HH Devraha Baba for Darshan and get his supreme sacred
blessings.
Those devotees who had got HH Devraha Baba’s Darshan in the 1989 Prayag Raj-India Kumbh
Mela can definitely understand how crazy and frenzied is the huge throng of devotees to have
even a split of a second’s Darshan of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. Well when HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba was honorably invited to bathe first during the Shahi Snan (main auspicious date
for bathing in the River Ganga) day in the 1986 Haridwar Kumbh Mela initially HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba refused point blank. Yet later after a lot of humble plea made by leading saints,
Mahants, Mathadhishas and Jagatguru Shankaracharyas etc gathered there HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba relented and agreed to divinely grace this auspicious occasion. Very soon this
Shahi Snan day arrived in which HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba was a very special divine guest of
honor. In every Kumbh Mela they set up a central microphone wherein if any speech, music etc
is spoken in it the entire crowd of more than 20,000,000 people can hear it and thousands of
speakers set up in major areas helps everyone there listen to speeches etc. For many days at a
stretch announcements were being made regarding HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s arrival at
Brahmakund on the Shahi Snan day so that everyone would get the message. Thus thousands of
people had gathered there to have HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s divine Darshan. Since govt.
officials were aware of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s arrival there they had made tight security
arrangements in order to control this massive crowd. So many police vans together reached HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s loft in order to bring him to the Kumbh Mela spot that was a bit far
away. Amongst these vans some of them had police officers with wireless sets. When these
officers reached HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s loft they saw that even there, there was a
teeming crowd of devotees rushing forward to have HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s Darshan
wherein a few journalists were interviewing HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. In the meantime a
person from Doordarshan called Mahendra Maharshi had come there to telecast HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba’s interview on television. Even today ½ hour footage of this TV shoot is in the
possession of Doordarshan TV. Some journalists had a question that why was HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba not going to the main spot of the Shahi Snan? HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
replied: Child! You all may benefit a lot by bathing there but no benefits are accrued by me. For
me Almighty Lord in the form of River Ganga, is present everywhere. Wherever I bathe, there
all rivers manifest. For a master Yogi bathing the physical body is not so much of importance as
the bathing (purification) of the mind. In our language it is said: Snanam hi manomal tyagaha. It
means whosoever has cleaned up the dirt of the psyche has actually bathed enough for eternity.
But even if you clean your physical body with great care yet in 8-10 hours it becomes dirty again
and you have to bathe it again. Even if for your whole life you keep cleaning the physical body
with great care yet it can never be purified in a long lasting manner.
38/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Kya pani mey mal mal nhave, are man ka mail utar pyare.
Kya Mathura kya kasha dhave, ghat mein gota mar pyare.
When the mind is bathed properly via Yoga practices, devotion to God, remembering God,
association with great God Realized saints-Gurus etc the darkness of the mind is thrown away
and thus that person’s true sanctification takes place for eternity.
In the meantime the govt. officials while reminding HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba to go with
them to Brahmakund prayed thus: O Revered Baba! Today is the day and hour for bathing in
Brahmakund for which you have kindly given your permission to take you there. Please do come
with us there. A huge motley crowd consisting of saints, Mahants etc is waiting impatiently for
you so that the Shahi Snan can commence. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: O Child! Do listen
to my sacred message. Do see what a beautiful wave is dancing in the holy River Ganga. I am
talking of the eternal bath and you are shouting about the physical bath. HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba’s face beamed with a smile of sheer divine ecstasy and his eyes brimmed with nothing but
divine compassion unlimited for all beings of the cosmos.
After sometime the officials again reminded HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba so the latter said: O
Child! I am present equally just about everywhere. For me going somewhere or coming back is
just the same. Child! You must bathe in the nectar of my holy teaching and dive into the wave of
Almighty God. Merely if a great God Realized saint’s divine eye falls on a devotee or by
conversing with the saint or by mere Darshan of such a saint the dirt of the creature’s mind gets
washed away totally. This then is true well being of a devotee and true bathing too. In the
meantime a message was received on the wireless by the officers standing near HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba from fellow officers doing duty at the Shahi Snan bathing spot. On talking to the
officers at the Shahi Snan bathing spot they were astounded to hear what they had to say. The
senior officer of Brahmakund Shahi Snan area was saying that HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba was
already bathing at Brahmakund and hence we want to know where you all officers are who had
to gone to receive HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba at his loft? Please do come here immediately to
the Brahmakund and take up your positions of duty because the crowd is getting beyond control.
It goes without saying that HH Devraha Baba by donning another (second) body via his
wondrous Yoga Divine Power had manifested at Brahmakund also. There thousands of faithful
devotees were touching his hallowed feet in reverence and on attaining HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba’s Darshan with a divine smiling face. They felt self fulfilled on receiving his holy grace.
Over here about 3-4 km away from Brahmakund’s Shahi Snan area HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
was seated on his loft with a divine smile on his face and giving nectarine teachings to all
present. The news of this mind boggling incident of 1986 spread not only in Kumbh Mela and
Haridwar but also in foreign countries. Next day leading newspapers published this astounding
news as a bold headline on the front page.

The Yogi Samrat our beloved God-HH Devraha Baba is this era’s such an extraordinary
personality that in this era such a one has never been born. Never has such a Super Great Yogi
like HH Devraha Baba been seen or heard of in this era. The great benefit of the divine ecstasy of
the soul (Sat-Chit-Anand or Existence-Consciousness-Bliss) that we disciples have attained as a
result of residing in the sacred presence of HH Devraha Baba can be termed the supreme benefit
of all benefits put together. A small portion of the divine joy we got while dwelling in the sacred
presence of HH Devraha shall be placed here for the happiness of devotees of Almighty God.
One day I (Shri Bade Maharaj-chief disciple of HH Devraha Baba) made a plan to execute a very
difficult religious vow (Niyam). For quite a while I was yearning mentally to attain Darshan or
holy vision of Lord Narsinha (half man-half lion incarnation or Avatar of God). After giving up
drinking water and food I thought of commencing the vow or Vrata. Only mentally I prayed to
Gurudeva HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba but did not ask for his permission. Thus while serving
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba day and night I silently commenced this vow. This incident took
place when HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba left Devariya and came to the banks of River Yamuna
40/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
to reside there permanently. My vow had been planned for 41 days. After 8-10 days of this vow
my body started becoming very weak yet I saw to it that not one service to HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba remained pending. Always I would be alert to carry out HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba’s command with devotion. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would give only me any of his
personal service to carry out. In order to bathe in the River Yamuna while going there or
returning HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would pass by the enclosure that had a tap. Behind HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s loft a tap was fitted that was surrounded by an enclosure of straw
because it was the rule of the Ashram-hermitage that none should watch HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba while he executed any activity or task. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would visit the river
many a times for bathing and we disciples would accompany him from behind till this tap
enclosure. There by opening the tap we would help HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba wash his hands
and feet and there itself at the tap enclosure we would wait for HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba to
return from river bathing.
Right from the moment HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba left for the river till his return to the
enclosure where we waited our eyes would look downwards and never would we raise our eyes.
We served HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba for many years at a stretch continuously yet whatever
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba did we would never witness with our eyes. HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba would always tell us disciples: Child! Never do anything that I do but only do that which I
ask and advise you to do so.
One day we were opening the tap with our eyes looking down. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said
close the tap. I immediately became alert and closed the tap. With hands joined prayerfully and
heads facing down we stood silently waiting for HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s sacred order. HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! You are a young Yogi and you have yet to carry out many
spiritual practices. Why is it that despite being so young in age you are not able to operate this
tap properly? We apologized: Revered Sir! I beg forgiveness for my mistake. I shall never repeat
this mistake in future. The tap which was actually a hand pump became slow while I was
operating it. My eyes were closed. I had started the hand pump with both hands initially but later
one hand of mine went to my waist. I hence was now operating the hand pump with one hand
only. Thus inadvertently the pump was moving slower than normal. It was a rule in our
hermitage that if even a wee bit of error was committed while we served HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba we had to perform harsh austerities (ordinary people may call it punishment). It was quite
common that we would sit in the middle with blazing fire pyres surrounding us. We would not
even move a bit till Gurudeva HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would command us. In the cold
winter months of November and December we would stand in the river with water up to our
waist and neck. We would stay in this freezing cold water till HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
commanded us to return. Sometimes we were ordered to keep burning coal in pots made of mud
and this pot we would place on our heads. All the while with this hot burning pot on our head we
would chant Japa. In reality what other people would call all this ‘punishment’ it was but
penance for us (to purify our minds). Thus Gurudeva by giving us such ‘harsh’ commands would
41/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
in actually bless us disciples by making us do Tapas or austerities. It is just impossible to gauge
Revered Sadgurudeva’s compassionate grace. Guru’s grace is more infinite than the all pervasive
sky also and is much profound and deeper than the ocean which we have experienced
innumerable times. During these times of ‘punishment’ we fail to measure how much he taught
us, how many boons he bestowed on us and that how much we benefitted from him. The Guru’s
punishment gives us infinite Sidhis or Divine Powers that helps us ultimately to attain Self/God
Realization.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba seeing me standing silent with hands joined prayerfully very
affectionately said: Child! Tell me what exactly is the truth? While answering this question of
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba I said that since I yearned to get Darshan of Lord Narsinha in his
half man half lion form I took up a religious vow or Vrata. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said:
Child! Will you be able to have Darshan? When he would talk thus our joy knew no limits and
thus we would open our hearts and tell HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba everything. I said: Revered
Sir! Why will I not be able to have Darshan? When God shall appear why shall I not have his
Darshan? Revered Sir! Even devotee child Prahlad had attained Darshan of Lord Narsinha.
When I spoke thus HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: O Child! When Lord Narsinha shall
appear you shall run away in haste.
Very silently I listened to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba with avid mental focus yet inwardly I
was thinking that since I am doing spiritual practices for having Lord Narsinha’s Darshan why
would I run away when the Lord actually appeared in my midst? I did not refrain from putting to
work my limited ignorant brain with reference to the Revered Guru’s speech. First without
taking orders from Gurudeva Baba I commenced the Vrata or vow on my own. And now I am
showing off my ‘high stature’ brains in order to comment on his divine speech. Before taking up
the vow I had thought I would get Lord Narsinha’s Darshan in my dream itself and that was my
aim hence the question of running away did not arise at all. I was mulling mentally thus but HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba was not only seeing my external form but that he was able to read each
and every thought appearing in my mind. Then HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba very affectionately
said: Child! You must give up this vow and start eating food and drinking water. I nodded my
head when commanded thus and said: Yes Revered Sir! Then HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
spoke again wherein there was more mystery in it than affection. He said: OK Child! You shall
definitely get Lord Narsinha’s Darshan. On hearing this I was overjoyed since definitely I would
get Darshan. This is because it was HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba who declared thus and that the
Guru’s words never come false.
Once at night I was walking behind HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. Very alertly I would throw the
light of the torch where HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s footsteps were. He left for the river to
bathe and I stood at the tap enclosure with the torch in hand for his return. After sometime when
as soon as I heard footsteps of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba coming out of the river water I
cautiously placed the light of the torch that it would be just in front of his footsteps. As per my
42/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
practice my eyes would see downwards. The moment I threw the light of the torch in front of his
footsteps I saw the clawed feet of a lion. I was quite scared wondering how a lion had come
there. Immediately when I focused the light upwards I saw in the form of HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba the shape of a lion with thick dense golden hair and canine teeth. The form of this lion was
so gigantic and all around its face was such a thick growth of long golden hair that to describe it
is very difficult. The lion’s canine teeth were so sharply pointed and huge in size that to look at
them fully was impossible. On seeing this lion I was so terribly petrified that I clean forgot why I
was actually standing there. The torch slipped from my hand and out of sheer fear I quickly
turned behind to run away. Behind me all around the tap enclosure was the grass wall that was
obstructing my running. With great might breaking apart this grass wall came out of the hole
created by me. With swift speed I ran towards the loft of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. My entire
body was shivering with fright and I could not utter a word because of being very scared. I ran
towards the loft with this emotion that immediately I can give HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba the
news that a lion has emerged from the river water. I failed to realize that I had gone to the river
bank to serve HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba and that how could he be on his loft. This is because
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba had entered the river to bathe in it. Seeing me thus full of fear and
agitation my younger Guru-brother Chote Maharajji caught hold of me but he too got very
scared. Chote Maharajji asked me as to what the problem was? My body was shivering so much
that my brother disciple failed to help me control my wits. I told my brother disciple: A lion has
arrived at the tap enclosure and is fearfully terrible. On hearing so much noise below the loft all
other ascetics of the hermitage gathered there. Soldiers of PAC who continuously patrolled that
area they immediately ran to the loft with rifles in hand. They all surrounded the loft. All were
ready to take action. I asked all the soldiers to be very cautious and told the ascetics to get ready
with sticks, axes and torches. I am now going again to the tap enclosure to check the situation.
Hence do listen to my command properly. I was speaking with such fear but my Guru-brother
Chote Maharajji said: Bade Maharajji! You have become very scared. HH Devraha Baba Sarkar
is seated in the tap enclosure. He is patiently waiting for you and hence do go there and operate
the hand pump there.
When he spoke thus I out of annoyance shot back: Oh! Why do you not believe me? I definitely
saw a lion there. On its neck such a thick growth of hair can be seen that one cannot even
imagine that such a petrifying lion can exist also. Yet all of those present there kept saying: Bade
Maharajji! Please go to the tap enclosure because you shall see HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
sitting there.
Yet I had just no faith in what all of them were saying because since I was very agitated out of
sheer fear on seeing this huge lion I had broken the grass wall around the tap enclosure so as to
run away in a frenzied manner. Yet again I asked all ascetic residents of the hermitage to become
very alert. The soldiers of PAC too were standing there with rifles and after again asking
everyone to be cautious I very alertly and with muted steps reached the tap enclosure. I
immediately heard HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s very compassionate voice from within the tap
43/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
enclosure. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Say my child! Are you not very scared? I had
warned you previously that when Lord Narsinha arrives you shall run away petrified.
On hearing these words that I had heard previously also my fear of the ‘lion’ just disappeared
like that and now I recollected that very moment when I was not alert while operating the hand
pump while serving HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. At that time HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba had
told me that I must give up my vow and start eating food-water which I had renounced. He had
further promised that I shall definitely get Lord Narsinha’s Darshan. Immediately I realized that
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba in his name-form or Sakar aspect had given me Lord Narsinha’s
Darshan. This Darshan was extraordinary and rare which is impossible for even very great Yogis
to attain. This Darshan I was given albeit for a couple of moments. I repented that I did not wait
with a steady mind to have Lord Narsinha’s Darshan for a longer time. This mind boggling scene
included a gigantic lion with a huge face, long golden hair hanging below its neck, huge pointed
canine teeth and sharp nailed claws. This form got etched in my eyes and bosom firmly. Again
and again this scene would seem to appear in my mind but now I harbored no fear whatsoever in
remembering it. Instead I got divine bliss of attaining God vision. Such thoughts were flowing in
my psyche and after I reached the tap enclosure and entered it I saw HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba seated there. On seeing me HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba lovingly scolded me: Ah you
fool! Come start operating the hand pump for your master. Mockingly HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba muttered: You set off ‘bravely’ to have Lord Narsinha’s Darshan.
I ran and fell devotedly at HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s sacred feet. I enclosed his feet in my
arms and cried aloud again and again. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba lovingly caressed my back
like an affectionate divine father. He kept caressing my head and body with fatherly affection for
quite a while. After this HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba gave me instructions on Yoga practices.
He gave me wisdom of the power of a Yogi and I understood that there is no difference between
a great adept Yogi and Almighty God. The divine energy of such Yogis is infinite in measure. A
Yogi can do anything he pleases. The Guru principle is as supremely great as God principle.
After hearing HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s instructions on Yoga practices I felt very selfsatiated. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba by giving so many examples gave me knowledge of God’s
divine existence. I shall write one particular example for the respected reader-devotees which
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba had recounted to me.
Once, Lord Ram was seated in his royal court. All Rishis, Munis, Angad and other great valiant
personages, kings etc were present in this court. Lord Ram asked Hanumanji one question:
Hanuman! Say, who exactly are you? Hanumanji replied:
Dehatashtayasa tu dasoham, jiva drishtaya twadanshakaha.
Vastu tastu twamevahamiti mey nishchita mati.
44/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
It means O Lord Ram! From the standpoint of the body and living soul I am your portion and
servant yet from the soul and existence principle viewpoint I am you and you are me. There is
not an iota of a difference between you and me.
A devotee who attains God or Self Realization oozes with divine inspirations. It is impossible for
anyone to challenge it. HH Shri Devraha Baba who is God’s Avatar and a Great Guru is
immersed eternally in divine cosmic consciousness or Brahman. Thus although he was not
different even a wee bit separate or different from Almighty God he never ever manifested his
divine nature thus. Instead by commanding his devotees to chant Lord Ram’s name (Japa) helped
them cross the ocean of worldly material bondage. First HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba was Sakar
or with name-form but now he is Nirakar or formless. Yet even today HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba bestows on each one super spiritual and material well being. We have with us innumerable
memories of various incidences while we lived near HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba for many years
together. In it he would manifest hidden mysteries of world creation, helped many of us attain
Sidhis-Divine Powers and while blessing us gave us so much more than we ever expected. No
doubt we shall put all these fond memories on paper in book form so that today’s devotees on
reading-hearing about HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s divine cosmic form shall get immersed in
sacred bliss and human society of the future era shall get overjoyed on hearing that in India a
great Mahayogi like HH Devraha Baba Sarkar had incarnated.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba within the tradition of Yogis and Rishis can be called its
substratum. Hence it is the supreme goal of HH Devraha Baba’s disciples and devotees to collect
all his divine teachings and store them for eternity.

CHAPTER 10
RAJARSHI PURSHOTTAM DAS TANDON’S HOLY MEETING WITH HH DEVRAHA
BABA SARKAR
Rajarshi Purshottam Das Tandon during his life time was a very renowned person and majority
people knew about him. He was a political leader who was a social worker, man of austerities
and full of a sense of self sacrifice. Thus those who were his followers had deep faith in him.
Tandonji was a famous political leader. In ancient Indian civilization Rishis and Maharshis
played a major important role in politics or else in very complex situations the king would
always ask great saints and sages to take an apt decision. Lest we open the book of Indian history
attached to every king was the term Rajguru. Even in these present times great pious people like
Mahatma Gandhi, Vinoba Bhave, Pandit Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Jai Prakash Narayan etc full of
true saintly qualities touched the realm of politics for their entire life span. In the same way once
the entire scholarly society together prayed to Brahmarshi Yogi Samrat HH Devraha Baba
Sarkar: Revered Sir! We are all very greatly influenced by the political tasks of India born
Purshottam Das Tandon’s behavior, activities, honesty, humility, self sacrifice etc. Purshottam
46/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Das Tandonji has undergone very high stature education both in Hindi and English. Thus all us
scholars yearn that on seeing Purshottam Das Tandonji’s great sacred tasks you honor him with
your divine blessings with a high stature title. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! If this is
what all of you wish I shall definitely do as you say.
After deciding thus great scholars contacted Purshottam Das Tandonji and plans were made to
bring him for HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s sacred Darshan. At that time Purshottam Das
Tandonji was Congress Party’s chairperson and HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba was residing at
that time on a loft built in Devariya district on the shores of River Saryu. When Purshottam Das
Tandonji got this news he very joyfully got ready to get anointed with such an honor at the
divine hands of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. All Indians whether Hindus, Muslims, Christians
or just about any religion praised Purshottam Das Tandonji’s ethical behavior, good will and
sense of justice and equality in one voice. In every region the news spread like wild fire that HH
Devraha Baba was going to bless Purshottam Das Tandonji with an honorary title. At the
appointed hour thousands of people gathered in order to see with what title HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba would honor Purshottam Das Tandonji. That day was 15th April 1948 gave the
title ‘Rajarshi’ to him which now meant he would be addressed henceforth as ‘Rajarshi
Purshottam Das Tandonji’. The Jagadguru Shankaracharya at that time was Shri Brahmanand
Saraswatiji who was also the revered Guru of a great saint called Karpatriji Maharaj. Swami
Brahmanand Saraswatiji was very happy to hear HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba bestowing this
Rajarshi title. After having this Darshan of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba, Rajarshi Purshottam
Das Tandonji returned to Lucknow city. Amongst those who came to congratulate him was the
Prime Minister of India at that time-Pandit Jawaharlal Nehruji.
When HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba gave Tandonji the title Rajarshi HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba asked him about his well being. Tandonji replied: Revered Baba! Although you have made
me a Rajarshi yet the thorns on the trees of your hermitage are piercing me. HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba said: O Child! I shall now scold these thorns. While scolding the tree under which
Tandonji was standing HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Say! Did I ask you (tree) to stand there
for this sort of service? It appeared as though the tree felt ashamed and scared. It was a babool or
mangrove tree. It must be remembered that on this babool tree grew many thorns that were 1.5
inches long.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba while pointing towards the tree spoke to Tandonji: Child! This tree
is a devotee. Now it shall not give anyone pain with its thorns. All these ants, snakes, scorpions,
elephants and trees are my devotees. They all listen to what I say. At that time none could
understand what HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said yet when evening time came the thorns of the
tree started falling down on the ground and by night time all these thorns withered away to
naught.
Next day in the morning this tree was totally devoid of any thorns. Seeing this everyone was
mind boggled. A few days later everyone’s amazement reached peaks only when the thorns of all
47/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
trees growing in the hermitage fell down and died completely. What was more astounding was
that the thorns of trees growing outside the boundary of our hermitage did not fall down at all
and did not wither away. Thus we can say that there is just no limit to the stupendous divine
sports or Lilas of HH Devraha Baba Sarkar. Trees, plants, animals etc along with entire nature
would act as per HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s commands. He was definitely Lord Vishwanath
who poured his boons and grace in an untold manner.
In the Prayagraj Kumbh Mela (India) of 1989 AD while talking to one devotee HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba said: Child! I had given the title of ‘Rajarshi’ to Purshottam Das Tandonji. He was
a great devotee soul. Yet Child! Those not knowing the future despite doing very great tasks later
in life commit very big errors. Thus that fame and glory gathered after dint of hard work for
years together gets lost by committing these errors later. Thus in 1954 AD Purshottam Das
Tandonji due to some differences with Congress Party wished to leave it. He had told me this. I
said: Child! You must keep quiet just now. Do not speak thus and in a few days Tandonji died.
Yet if before death he had left the Congress Party so many questions would have been raised
against him and I knew that Tandonji was about to shed his mortal coil. And hence knowing of
his death being quite near I advised him not to leave Congress and thus without changing
political parties he gave up his body.
CHAPTER 11
PROTECTING GAJENDRA (ELEPHANT) IN HARIDWAR-INDIA’S MAHA KUMBH
MELA
In the year 1962 AD was the auspicious occasion of Kumbh Mela in Haridwar-India. Daily for
the entire day thousands of people with faith would throng there, hundreds of ascetics would set
up their camps, in every camp Shrimad Bhagwat discourses, Ramayan, Vedant lectures, Yajna
rituals, singing God’s praises called Kirtans-Bhajans, holy bath in the River Ganga, worship of
Gangaji etc pious tasks were executed. All types of Vaisnavas, Vairagis, Udasis, Sanyasis,
Naths, Naga etc of various sects in hundreds and thousands would gather there. Those devotees
imbued with deep faith would come to this Kumbh Mela for Darshan and bathing in the holy
Ganges. For such pious devotees this Kumbh Mela appeared nectarine. This is because those
who come to the Kumbh Mela their souls are immersed only in devotion to God, associating
with great saints, listening to holy discourses on Almighty God, worship and meditation.
48/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
In the entire world we can never see such a great festival of the congregational religious
sentiments of millions of people as is seen in India’s Kumbh Melas. Congregational worship of
God in Kumbh Melas can be called extraordinary and incomparable. On merely reaching the
Kumbh Mela venue the vibrations of religious emotions enter effortlessly in the souls/psyches of
all. Whether one desires it or not people hearts ooze with devotion. Brahmarshi Yogi Samrat Shri
Devraha Babaji was by himself a walking-talking Kumbh Mela and yet he too had arrived at this
Haridwar Kumbh festival.
One day an elephant of a Viashnava Mahant turned mad and in this insanity it started crushing
the huge mob of devotees gathered there under its huge feet while running amuck. Since it was
also uprooting tents, daises etc there was nothing but fearful chaos out there. On seeing that there
was no way of controlling this mad elephant the chief police officer on duty there-Mr. Ramdular
Pandeyaji ordered his aides to shoot with a gun and kill it. The task of aiming the bullet was
given to Subedar Bhanwar Singh. He was a devotee of God.
Subedar Bhanwar Singh became sad that if he killed this elephant he would incur sin of killing a
living being. Finally he went to Brahmarshi Yogi Samrat Shri Devraha Babaji for Darshan and
advice. He prayed to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba that he did not wish to kill this mad elephant
yet since his senior police officer had commanded him to do so he shall perforce have to kill it
next morning at 8 am sharp. I am really in a fix and hence O Revered Baba! please advise me as
to what I should do? If I do not kill the elephant I may be fired from my job and if I kill the
elephant as per orders given I shall incur sin. I am fearful of sinning by killing a living being. HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! It is definitely a big sin to kill a dumb creature who cannot
even cry to let us know about the pain it is undergoing. Again HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba after
deep thinking said: Child! Suppose before 8 am tomorrow the elephant’s madness disappears,
would that be good for you? Subedar Bhanwar Singh said: How is it possible that without giving
this elephant medicine we can cure its madness? And then the question is-who shall administer
medicine to this mad elephant? HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! I shall find a solution
for this. My Prasad shall become its medicine. After saying thus HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
gave Subedar Bhanwar Singh a mango fruit as Prasad and said: Child! One mango fruit is for
you and the other mango fruit is for the mad elephant. Further do send your senior police officer
for my Darshan. I shall cancel the orders given to you by police personnel. After getting the
command to make this mad elephant eat this Prasad of mango fruit Subedar Bhanwar Singh was
all the more worried because in order to make it eat this mango one has to go near the mad
elephant. Thus instead of catching the mad elephant it can catch hold of me and then who shall
save me? Understanding this worry of Subedar Bhanwar Singh, HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
said: Child! You must do Dandvat Pranam (prostrating full length on the ground akin to a stick
lying down on the ground) to this mad elephant from afar and say to it: HH Devraha Baba has
sent Prasad for you so please come and take it. Child! This mad elephant himself shall come and
take Prasad from you. So do not fear at all because he shall in no way harm you. Subedar
Bhanwar Singh felt quite relieved and he sent his senior police officer for HH Mahayogi
49/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Devraha Baba’s Darshan. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba told him: Child! You must cancel your
order of shooting to death this mad elephant. With my blessings it shall regain sanity and hence
there shall be no need to kill it with a gun. The officer immediately agreed to do so and after
reaching his office he cancelled the shoot at sight order. On this very day in the evening Subedar
Bhanwar Singh arrived near the mad elephant to give it Prasad. From afar he did Dandvat
Pranam (prostrating full length on the ground akin to a stick lying down on the ground) to the
mad elephant and loudly said: O brother elephant! HH Devraha Baba has sent Prasad for you and
hence do come here and accept it. The elephant very quietly started walking towards Subedar
Bhanwar Singh and the elephant tried to take away even the 2nd mango fruit with his trunk which
was in the other hand of Subedar Bhanwar Singh. At that point Subedar Bhanwar Singh told the
elephant that the 2nd fruit was given by HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba for him to eat. Immediately
the elephant withdrew his trunk as though he fully understood what Subedar Bhanwar Singh was
telling it.
This episode was being witnessed by thousands of devotees who had gathered there. The mad
elephant on eating this mango fruit Prasad became very calm and sane and then it walked away
towards the Mahant who was its owner without creating even a bit of havoc. The Mahant was
very happy. Many people got together and took both the Mahant and the elephant for HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s Darshan. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba fed the elephant a lot of
Prasad with his own divine hands from his loft. Keeping the elephant in front a huge procession
was taken on the road and thus the elephant was taken all around the Kumbh Mela area.
Everyone chanted: Victory to HH Devraha Baba Sarkar! Come let us all too chant:
VICTORY TO HH DEVRAHA BABA SARKAR!
CHAPTER 12
A BLAZING INFERNO ERUPTED IN MAHAKUMBH 1989 AD IN PRAYAGRAJ
(INDIA) NEAR THE DAIS OF MORARI BAPU
The time was about 5 pm in the evening. Near Shastri bridge Morari Bapu was giving a religious
discourse. Somewhere close to his dais a terrific fire erupted. Myself (Bade Maharaj) and a few
devotees seated near HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s loft near River Ganga about 3 km distance
from the dais could see how terrible this fire was with huge flames rising upwards. This scene
could be seen by us all quite clearly despite the fact that we were quite far away from this fire.
One can imagine how high these fire flames (higher than 15 meters which was the height of the
Shastri Bridge) were since we could see them clearly. Devotees in anguish prayed fervently to
HH Devraha Baba Sarkar to give strength to hundreds of devotees to combat and douse this
blazing fire. Very close to this fire is Morari Bapu’s dais from where he is giving a religious
discourse and if this fire spreads more the entire Kumbh Mela region shall get burnt to naught.
50/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
This is because everywhere tents of cloth have been set up using bamboo sticks as props. On the
ground mattresses, cloth seats etc have been spread out. At every few steps huts of dry grass and
leaves have been built. Thus there is so much material in the Kumbh Mela area which can easily
catch fire. Thus everyone told HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba in a gist about this fire and its
destructive nature. This fire was burning from HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s loft in the southwest direction. Thus if we turned behind this fire could be seen very clearly.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba saw this fire and he stepped down from his loft. As per his
directions apart from me and Bade Maharaj none followed him. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
reached the River Ganga bank and sat down. He asked Bade Maharaj to give him 3 pebbles.
Despite searching here and there Bade Maharaj could not find any pebbles so HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba said: O Child! Give me any stone and if you can’t find any give me that pile of
mud. Bade Maharaj gave HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba 3 piles of mud and HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba while chanting Mantras (so as to render this mud pile Abhimantrit or imbued with
divine energy) threw the 1st mud pile into the River Ganga waters. After 30 seconds he threw the
2nd mud pile and after 30 more seconds passed by he threw the 3 rd mud pile. The moment the 1st
mud pile was thrown in a flash half the fire got doused. After the 2nd mud pile was thrown the
fire virtually got doused completely and after the 3rd mud pile was thrown only smoke remained.
It seemed as though from above someone was pressing this fire downwards. Apart from us 2
who were with HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba none could understand how this gigantic fire got
doused in just a couple of minutes. Everyone was mind boggled as to how this blazing inferno
cooled down so completely. The fire brigade got delayed while coming there. On reaching there
they touched the burnt materials there. From this investigation they wrote a report wherein
according to them since a lot of dampness was there in the air this fire got doused. Yet what was
astounding is that in the grass around the dais and in the ground there was no dampness. When
fire erupted materials there should have become drier and hence the question arises as to where
had this dampness come from? This then was nothing but Mahayogi HH Devraha Baba’s divine
feat or Lila wherein without telling anyone anything he out of sheer compassion sported thus.
After this the householder saint Morari Bapu accompanied by his family came to HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba for Darshan. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba with great affection blessed him. HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba gave him Prasad and inquired about his well being. After conversing
for about ½ an hour HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba gave permission to Morari Bapu to leave. On
getting HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s holy Darshan Bapu was truly overjoyed. Morari Bapu
also was fully aware that it was but HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s miraculous grace that helped
in dousing this blazing fire swiftly and completely.

CHAPTER 13
BEFORE KING GEORGE FIFTH, IT WAS THE KING’S BROTHER WHO GOT
SPIRITUALLY INITIATED BY HH DEVRAHA BABA SARKAR
This episode took place just before 1900 AD. India was ruled at that time by a foreign British
Govt. for the past 6o years or so India was known to be a British colony. In India it was
Englishmen who ruled over it. With reference to this the Queen of England sent one of her sons
to India to look after its governance. This prince along with shouldering tasks given to him was
100% influenced by India’s religious culture. He was very much influenced by India’s pious
character people who had no inclination to earn money by unethical fraudulent means since they
possessed sacred pure souls. Along with looking after governance tasks the prince studied Indian
culture too. He took great interest in associating with great saints-sages, going to pilgrim spots
and visiting temples for holy Darshan and learning Indian way of thinking and behavior. As a
52/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
result very high level government British officers silently and inwardly were displeased with the
prince’s interests. These officers believed that they had come to India to spread Christian
Religion in India’s poor backward regions and not for themselves to get converted to Hindu
Religion. During his visits to pilgrim spots for visiting temples and associating with great saints
the British prince came in touch with HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar. He was very much
influenced by HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s sense of renunciation and strict austerities. His
mind was very much attracted to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s divine teachings and very
regularly he would spare special time for visiting Devariya region in Gorakhpur district (UPIndia). During this phase he fell in love with an Indian girl. He was quite mesmerized with this
girl’s pious character and religious sentiments. Their love for each other increased day after day.
When the British governors and officers saw that the prince was not paying heed to their advice
they sent a detailed letter to the Queen in England wherein all details of the prince’s behavior
and activities were written. They further wrote to the Queen that the prince was not fit enough to
rule over their India colony. Later the Queen communicated with the prince via letters wherein
the Queen especially harboring dissatisfaction asked the prince to return to London in order to
give her final decision. Till date the prince greatly influenced by HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s
teachings keeping the goal of helping overcome the agony and disparity in the Indian public due
to poverty, the prince refused to follow rules made by Britishers that were erroneous because he
had already taken spiritual initiation from HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba.
The prince came for HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s Darshan and told him of all that had
happened. The prince said that his wish was to marry this Indian girl and stay in India. Yet his
mother (queen) by giving him a lot of enticements wanted the prince to dwell in London only
and marry a British girl. Thus he asked HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba as to what should he do
under these circumstances?
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! When you talk to your mother my inspirations shall
appear in your bosom and do exactly as per these inspirations of mine. Saying this much HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba gave the prince Prasad and bid him adieu. On reaching London the
prince was told 2 things by the queen. The 1st thing she said was: Prince! You are the son of
King George Fourth and hence ascend his throne to become King George Fifth. Thus as per our
royal clan tradition you must marry an English girl chosen by us. In reply the prince clearly said
that he would marry only the girl he had chosen. The queen said: If you insist on acting your way
I shall take away all your royal princely rights. Thus instead of you your brother shall become
King George Fifth. The prince very joyfully agreed to this saying that by dangling the juicy
carrot of ascending the royal throne you cannot by my love for spirituality. I shall live my life as
per the guidance of my spiritual Guru and never as per your or royal clan rules.
After this the prince returned to India and after having HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s Darshan
told the latter all that had happened in London. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! My
unlimited blessings and grace are on you. Wherever you stay my blessings shall keep you happy.
53/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Child! Only they get dispassion from royal pleasures that have already enjoyed royal pleasures
for thousands of previous births or incarnations. One who has never attained royal pleasures at
first shall try everything to attain it but when he attains royal pleasures then for fulfilling all
types of desires and immersing his psyche only for selfish gains latches on to his kingdom like a
leech. Child! No doubt only due to good merits of many previous lifetimes does one attain royal
pleasures yet on attaining it one becomes very arrogant due to becoming master of so much
wealth one also becomes dictatorial due to attaining so much political authority. Thus such a one
executes many vile deeds and lowly acts. In this manner one becomes an author of one’s own
sorrowful destiny in future. In this manner this anguished creature tries to attain as much joy as
possible. After many life times when this creature becomes very wealthy and joyous he out of
delusion gets immersed in many types of tainted vile deeds and the result of this is that he again
has to endure pain and anguish in future births to come. Thus this vicious cycle of sorrow does
not break for innumerable lives. In reality only he is happy who by going beyond the duality of
joy-sorrow immerses his mind and soul in devotion to God or divine cosmic consciousness. Thus
as per HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s holy advice on taking HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s
permission the prince married that very Indian girl he loved and he resided in Kathmandu-Nepal
for the rest of his life. Once or twice a year this prince would come to HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba and have his sacred Darshan.
CHAPTER 14
KING GEORGE FIFTH VERY MUCH INFLUENCED BY THE SENSE OF
RENUNCIATION OF HIS BROTHER
(KING GEORGE FIFTH THUS GOES FOR HH DEVRAHA BABA’S DARSHAN)
Many people related to London’s high class families and royal government officials did travel to
Kathmandu-Nepal to persuade their prince to listen to his queen-mother’s wishes. They all even
went for HH Devraha Baba’s Darshan yet they failed in their endeavor.
In those days in London it was hot news wherein heated discussions would take place with
reference to their prince queen and HH Devraha Baba. The prince’s brother who was now
anointed King George Fifth came to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba for Darshan. Following are the
points to note regarding this sacred Darshan:
54/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
1) As was the case with all devotees who came to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba when King
George Fifth came to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba for Darshan the latter after enquiring
about the king’s well being further asked: Child! For what reason have you come here?
King George Fifth said that he had come for his Darshan and also to experience HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s divine potential. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba replied: Child!
In order to experience my divine potential there is no need for you to come all the way
here.
This king was very much yearning to meet HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba who had imbued
his prince brother with a very rare to attain sense of renunciation towards worldly fleeting
enticements. The king desired that at least he should have Darshan of HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba once so as to find out who exactly is HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba and
how potently influencing is he in the spiritual sense.
2) Preparations were made for King George Fifth’s journey even though it was against the
queen’s wishes. But her son had already become King George Fifth and as per his orders
all these tasks were being executed. For the king’s arrival the Gateway of India was being
constructed in the port city of Mumbai. If the king had so desired he could have arrived
much before yet whether you call it a quality or taint the English kings loved showing off
their royal glamorous lifestyle and pomp full of vanity. Hence King George Fifth was
waiting first for the construction of Gateway of India. When this gateway was ready in
1904 AD King George Fifth landed in Mumbai-India. By itself, the king was a good
hearted person and the number of aim of this journey of his was 2 only. He wanted to
meet HH Devraha Baba and his brother too. The king behaved very respectfully towards
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba and via an interpreter with great faith heard the sacred
teachings of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. The king tried his best to understand the
profound import of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s divine message.
In his teachings HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba very clearly said: Child! By immersing oneself
in the vicious cycle of material gains one must not forget spiritual benefits. On witnessing the
millions of miraculous feats enacted by our divine father Almighty God both on planet earth
and in the entire cosmos we must ceaselessly remember our beloved Lord. We sin a lot when
in the process of fattening our false selfish ego ‘I’ we harass poor and helpless subjects.
Behind man undergoing discontent and all types of failure is this very sinful behavior and
thinking. Child! Do think a bit. See how wondrous is Almighty God’s tasks. If in the same
soil we sow sugar cane and nearby red chilly same water from rain falls on both of these
plants. Yet chilies are very pungent but sugar cane gives us a very sweet taste. Despite the
soil supplied to both these plants is same one rose is white in color and the other is pink in
color and a third is yellow in color. Thus one soil is producing various types of things. The
one who gave birth to you is called ‘mother’ by you. But say! Of what type is that Supreme
55/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Mother who creates the entire cosmos full of millions of various types of materials that too in
infinite measure like fruits, flowers, iron, wood, stone, diamond, crops etc? In the lap of
planet earth who is our Mother thousands of types of civilizations dwell. Hence tell me! Shall
our Mother Earth experience joy on seeing one human harassing another or one civilization
oppressing another? Child! Thus the true goal of life is that if we are rich we must help the
poor and needy and that if we are powerful we must protect the weaker class of society.
The hungry must be fed food. Never earn money via foul corrupt means and never destroy
Mother Nature. Never encourage tasks that are based on falsehood and forever we must
endeavor to attain Almighty God’s grace. With a very pious heart we must sing God’s holy
name (Sankirtan) because it is the Lord who is the omnipotent divine doer of this cosmos. It
is he who resides in every cause and effect. He is totally beyond everything that we see or do
not see. Beyond God nothing exists.
In flowing water, in water that is becoming steam, in solar rays, in the sun, in the moon, in
moonshine and in all activities of both inanimate and inanimate things my (Almighty God’s)
divine influence can be seen. While speaking thus HH Devraha Baba was inwardly reinstated
in divine cosmic consciousness or Brahmabhava. In such an inner state a Mahayogi does not
have to come or go anywhere. Wherever they wish to go they reach there, unobstructed at
that very moment. Within their souls, dance infinite divine energies of Almighty God. Since
such Mahayogis eternally are immersed in meditation of God they become one with God. On
hearing all this via the wise scholarly interpreter the King of England deeply understood HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s divine teachings. After this the king prayed to HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba for throwing further light on this subject.
Since the king was accompanied by an expert interpreter he had no problem in understanding
HH Devraha Baba’s divine teachings. He was very much influenced by HH Devraha Baba’s
divine speech and experienced divine sentiments and divine energy in each and every word
of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. He also met his prince brother and again had HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba’s Darshan in order to get spiritual initiation or Deeksha. Then he got a
painting painted of HH Devraha Baba and took it with him. Till 1190 AD this painting was
showcased in London’s Hall of Commons. After this we have no special information
regarding this painting. That is whether the painting is yet there in this hall or not we do not
know.
The king could not understand why his prince brother had renounced such a big empire.
What had his brother attained that in comparison to it such a gigantic empire had no
importance for him? People are known to murder one another merely for a few hundred
pounds and hence the question was why did his prince brother give up an empire worth
billions of pounds? Who had given such advice to his brother or that what was the thinking
behind such an action? Lest some saint’s sacred advice has influenced his brother profoundly
56/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
definitely this saint was extraordinary and a super great soul whose inspiration was so
powerful.
CHAPTER 15
GOLD CAN BE MADE FROM URINE ALSO!
Round about the year 1857 AD when HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba had completed his
austerities near Devariya Lake (India) for some time he was journeying on foot in the
western region of Yamnotri and Harkidun spot. This region was a rocky mountainous type,
icy cold and very silent. People of urban areas were yet very rare to be seen rushing here.
Cars or other vehicles too were absent. Food, water etc had to be carried on one’s back. In
daytime too ferocious jungle beasts were encountered. In this very spot HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba was enjoying his travel on foot with a 25 year old young disciple. HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba was collecting many rare herbs growing here. In this region that
herb can be found growing wherein if one sucks about 4 seeds of it at an interval of 3 hours
one does not experience hunger or thirst for 12-15 days. The seeds of this particular herb are
57/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
quite similar to seeds of Bijband herbs (that have medicinal properties) growing in Pansari
region.
In this region one can find many Paras stones (touchstones) also. Paras because of its mind
boggling quality is a very well known stone yet since it is very rare to find people merely
possess hearsay information regarding it. None knows how it exactly looks. Many true and
false data are discussed about the Paras stone. The people residing in the region where HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba was journeying were known to conjoin small pieces of iron to the
hooves of goat and sheep that they owned so that if this iron touched a Paras stone while
walking it would turn to pure gold. These people every 2nd or 4th day would check the hooves
of their sheep and goats whether the iron tied there had turned to gold or not. Lest actually in
the animal’s hoof iron had actually got converted to gold they would remove it and attach
another piece of iron to the hoof. Apart from this people residing there would tie pieces of
iron with very strong threads and hang it on waterfalls in those areas. These people every 2nd
or 4th day would check the iron hanging on the thread and if it had not yet been converted to
pure gold they would again place it in the waterfall. They would do all this so that lest a
Paras stone flowing in these waters touched the hanging iron piece, the iron would turn into
gold.
The young disciple of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would follow the latter everywhere in his
travels. Aping these local residents there the disciple too would tie to his waist a 10 feet rope
to which in turn was tied a piece of iron. Thus while walking behind HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba the iron attached to the disciple’s waist would drag touching the ground. For this action
of his HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba scolded the disciple many a times and warned him not to
tie this iron to his waist. But the disciple was hell bent on going against HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba’s divine advice. No doubt for 4 days the disciple would do as HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba advised yet the very next day he would again walk with the iron dragging on
the ground behind him. In this manner while walking behind HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
for a few months with iron pieces attached to his waist the disciple gathered a few kg’s of
pure gold in these very lonely rocky mountainous regions. Since the disciple felt it quite
arduous to carry this huge amount of gold with him, at intervals while traveling he would
bury a bit of this gold under huge trees. The disciple would make a note of where he had
placed this gold so that whenever required or that when he returned to these spots he could
dig these gold pieces and carry them away with him.
Similarly one day this disciple was following HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba during his travels.
As usual the disciple had tied a big stick of iron tied to his waist with a rope and the stick
would drag on the ground making a jingling noise. On hearing this sound HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba shouted: Child! For quite some time I have been warning you to stop this
activity of yours, yet you are just refusing to listen to me! But child! Do hear as attentively to
what I say. The path you have chosen to walk on shall create a lot of hardships for you in
future whereas the path I am showing you shall eternally give you true peace. It means by
58/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
helping you sit permanently at Almighty Lord’s hallowed feet I desire that you attain eternal
divine bliss. But you by your foolish acts are rushing towards the hell of discontent and strife
only. Do listen more my child! Now I shall head for the plains by journeying via Ramganga.
Over here in the mountains there is no chaos to endure but on plains where in cities, towns
and villages people dwell, they drip with greed and avarice. If they get even a whiff of the
burden (gold) you are carrying with you they shall create big problems for you and in some
way or the other they shall ‘lighten’ your burden. At that time you shall tear your head in
grief and repentance. Hence I strictly advise you to give up deluded attachment to this big
burden of gold you are carrying and follow me empty handed. This disciple on hearing HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba sage counsel went to all the spots where he had buried gold and
gathered all this gold. He brought this gold to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba so that it could be
carried to the plains from the mountains in which they were at present. In other words it was
crystal clear that HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s sacred advice had just no effect on him and
thus had decided to ignore all these well meaning warnings. It could also be said that he
refused to pay heed to these dire warning seriously. After 10 days when the disciple returned
with this huge amount of gold HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba started travelling towards the
plains. After walking for a few days alongside the banks of rivers, waterfalls etc of the
mountains when HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba reached the banks of Ramganga (called River
Saryu in Ayodhya) quite high above Rudra Prayag called the region of Hanuman he told his
disciple who was secretly carrying with him the burden to about 10 kg of gold: Child! How
can you call yourself my disciple when you refuse to listen to what I say? In sacred scriptures
it is written: ‘Shisyastu kova?’ It means ‘who is a true disciple’? The answer is: ‘Guru bhakt
yo va’. It means a true disciple is one who is a loving devotee of the Guru. A devotee is one
who obeys all commands given to him/her and certainly not one who disdainfully ignores
sage advice given by the great Guru.
Today child! Do listen to my decision: aj ki khave kal jhankhe, takey gorakh sang na rakhey.
I am totally against hoarding and gathering things. If you wish to travel with me you shall
have to renounce hoarding things. Else I shall not allow you to stay with me. Hence Sadhu
(ascetic disciple)! Do listen carefully. Either these pieces of stones (gold) shall stay with you
or I shall stay with you. Lest you are unable to renounce this deluded attachment to material
objects I shall renounce your company. Either you keep company of these stones or keep my
company. It is not in your well being to place 1 leg each in 2 boats. If you throw your gold in
River Saryu only then shall I allow you to accompany me else do go your way alone. When
he was spoken to harshly thus the disciple caught hold of Gurudeva HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba thus: Revered Sir! I can leave everything else but I cannot leave you. I shall stay only
with you. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! Then there is no need to carry this
burden of rubbish. The ascetic disciple threw away this wealth gathered by him with
immense effort on the basis of this thinking that the Guru’s orders reign supreme and is of
utmost importance. Now HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba peacefully allowed his disciple to
accompany him. At that end by uprooting huge stems of bananas from a forest of banana
59/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
trees with the help of banana peels a boat like construction was made. After sitting in it they
would travel in the river and make stopovers at many places on the way. Sometimes in
certain villages on the river banks HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would stop for a few months
at a stretch to give Darshan and divine bliss to all visitors. After travelling for many years
thus HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba reached Faizabad. Slowly after choosing a good spot he
stopped at Gorakhpur. At that time HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba had only 1 disciple
accompanying him. This disciple would serve him day and night. The place at which HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba was residing there for many years rainfall was very scarce. Thus
there a famine like situation had taken over. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba was seated in the
waters of River Saryu.
Faithful people here as per the order of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba built a loft at a height of
12 feet where HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba resided for a fairly long time span. He resided
here till around 1980 AD.
After a great length of time that very disciple (who had gathered kilos of gold) came to HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba and cried loudly in anguish. He was so much at pain within that it
manifested as tears outside. When his crying decreased a fair bit HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba asked him: What is the problem my child? The disciple voicing his inner agony said:
Revered Gurudeva! My inner material desires are not allowing me to live in peace. I cannot
sleep properly at night and during the day I can hardly do any work. Even after so many
years passing by my vile selfish desires are not bidding adieu to me. What should I do Sir?
After listening to your sage advice I threw away 15 kilos of gold into River Ramganga
despite the fact that I had labored a lot in collecting this wealth. Yet my mind is even today
running after it. If you command me I shall go there to again collect gold and with its money
on feeding hundreds of people I can appease this desire of mine to execute charity work.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! The fact that one desires to be called a great
philanthropist, a respected social worker and a great devotee of God in order to attain world
renown too is a material desire. A true Yogi must stay away from all desires whether they are
righteous or unrighteous in nature else one gets ensnared by this net of worldly delusion and
ultimately one gets destroyed. A snake charmer or an actor taking recourse to superficial
show earns wealth to fulfill his daily life’s needs. By itself such a task is not much praised by
society. Suppose someone attaches the words saint, his holiness etc in front of his name so as
to use it as a façade in order to amass wealth and fame (fan following) and actually succeeds
in doing all this then from our hallowed scriptures’ standpoint this activity is said to be lowly
and demeaning. In comparison to such a person a snake charmer accrues much less sin. In the
guise of religion and righteousness to nurture façade and vanity is such a tainted act that man
creates his downfall for many lifetimes to come in future. Hence my child, I feel whether
your desire is righteous or otherwise you must renounce it mentally in order to attain true
long lasting peace.
60/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
When this disciple ascetic in no way tried to heed HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s sage advice
the latter said: OK! If you so desire and if God wishes to give you wisdom only after getting
kicked about like a football then so be it! Since you have my blessings and that you have
served me quite well you shall not have to roam around here and there to gather gold. I shall
not allow you to waste your remaining years in search of Paras touchstone that converts iron
to gold. As a boon I shall teach you the science of converting your urine into gold. But child,
keep this in mind that this obstinacy of yours shall land you in big trouble. At that time do
not run to me crying aloud in sorrow.
On noting this ascetic’s obstinacy HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba while teaching him the
science of converting urine into gold said: Child, you are already observing the Ekadashi fast
(the 11th day of moon waxing and waning according to the Hindu calendar). Henceforth you
must observe this fast without drinking water even or Nirjala. On the 10th day you may
devour fruits and milk once in the day. You can drink water 2 times in the day and by giving
the name of 3 types of herbs on the morning of Ekadashi day at around 4 am in the morning
after passing urine and stools chew the 1st type of herb properly in the measure prescribed.
Chew in such a way that your drink its juice and then throw away the remnants. After this in
the first leg of the 3rd Prahar (around 9 am) by chewing the 2nd type of herb in the measure
prescribed in such a way that you drink its juice and then throw away the remnants. After
sunset on that day after seeing 2 or more than 2 stars in the sky chew properly the soft parts
of the 3rd type of herb in the measure prescribed and swallow it. After this for the chemical
reaction taking place in the stomach by sucking a special type of turmeric or chewing it
before going to sleep it must be eaten slowly and keep in mind that on Ekadashi before
sunset urine can be passed only once. Any urge to pass urine after this must be obstructed in
the urinary bladder and that it should not be excreted out. On the Dwadashi Tithi via special
Mantra chanting for appeasing sun and moon gods and also mentally remembering Lord
Dhanvantari a Havan (fire sacrifice) must be done in which Khir mixed with Ghee or
clarified butter must be offered to the Yajna fire. After this after melting 1/4 th copper in a big
vessel purify it with a sal-ammoniac. Then a prescribed measure of urine passed must be
poured into this copper that has melted totally. Then after covering it with a plate it should be
left alone for about 3 hours or till the contents cool down fully. Later in this vessel you shall
see 24 carat gold that has been prepared via the above process.
Child! With this you can assuage your sorrow. Go, because I give you full permission to
leave. Now do not stay here with me. This ascetic disciple on taking leave of HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba left for a pilgrimage. After a short time period he reached Ganga Sagar,
Ujjain, Jagganathpuri, Banaras, Prayagraj and other Tirthas. There he arranged huge
programs for feeding the hungry in hordes and thus attained a lot of fame. Later this ascetic
after passing by Mathura, Kurukshetra, Pushkar and Dwarika finally reached Karachi. Now
this ascetic would travel on an elephant and accompanying him was a huge mob of people.
Everywhere people would chant ‘victory to the sage’. Everywhere people would eulogize
61/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
him. Thousands of poor people would be fed free sumptuous meals and they would also be
gifted with blankets, clothes etc. Now this ascetic was very pleased. In Karachi too when he
planned big programs of feeding huge crowds of people in a few days the entire city got to
know about him. At that time the district officer was an Englishman who was quite
astounded that how could this ascetic who did not do any work to earn money was
conducting such expensive Yajnas and also feeding hundreds of people without taking any
money from them? This officer suddenly accompanied by police personnel raided the
ascetic’s residence wherein they confiscated about 20 kg of 24 carat gold. Of course apart
from this they did not find any narcotics or intoxicants. The collector immediately locked up
this ascetic in jail. The collector started questioning the ascetic as to how he got possession of
so much pure gold. The ascetic did not want to answer this question at all. When the ascetic
was given strong arm tactics and a lot of fear was instilled in his mind the ascetic unfolded
the mystery saying that he made this gold from his urine. When the collector refused to
believe the ascetic’s version the latter said to the collector that he could be tested for this
truth. The collector out of curiosity asked as to how this was possible? The ascetic said:
When my urine touches copper the latter gets converted to 24 carat gold. At that time the
ascetic had already passed urine once for executing this process and hence he had obstructed
his urine in his bladder as instructed by Gurudeva HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. The
collector asked him whether urine passed only once by him could be used to make how much
amount of gold? The ascetic said that this answer can be given only later. In the meantime he
told the collector to gather as much of copper as possible. In that era the collector sent many
of his aides to as many homes as possible to collect copper articles like vessels, rings, lids,
wires etc. When these were weighed collectively it was found to be the measure of 1 quintal.
The ascetic asked one person to light a wooden stick of catechu with fire. Then in a huge
vessel the copper collected was placed and was melted in the fire lit. In an hour’s time when
the fire became very hot the copper melted fully like wax and almost appeared like water.
As per requirements the copper was purified using sal-ammoniac. Then the ascetic, opening
his loin cloth in front of all those present passed urine in 5 glass vessels, in equal measure.
Immediately these vessels were shut properly with lids. This was done so that the chemical
steam did not fly away to naught in the atmosphere.
When after about 3 hours the lids were removed the entire copper got converted to pure gold.
On seeing this officials and the collector were mind boggled. On looking in the direction of
the ascetic the latter said that at the moment I can pass only this much urine. On hearing this
everyone was wonderstruck. This report was immediately sent to London by the collector. At
that time King George Fourth’s son was anointed as the king i.e. King George Fifth. The
London govt. had decided to call this ascetic there and put him under their authority. This
decision was not hidden from the ascetic. All his arrogance of possessing Yogic powers
cooled down. The ascetic was now very scared and thus at this moment he remembered HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s harsh yet well meant words. The ascetic thought: O Gurudeva!
62/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
This time please do get me out of this dire situation. Henceforth I promise that I shall never
ignore your sacred commands.
Due to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s invisible grace wisdom dawned in the ascetic’s psyche
that by hook or by crook he must contact HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba and only then his
problem can be solved. He hence wrote something in Persian language and via someone sent
it to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. On reading this letter HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba calling
the Gorakhpur collector asked him to write a letter to his disciple King George Fifth in
London. In this letter he gave details of his ascetic disciple and HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
wrote to the king that by calling this ascetic to London no benefit would accrue to his govt.
because this ascetic is carrying out tasks based on the knowledge bestowed on him by me.
Only due to my grace is his knowledge reaping success of converting copper to gold via his
urine. When I shall withdraw my grace no longer shall this ascetic be able to make gold from
his urine. If you call this ascetic know that since he shall not be able to make gold from his
urine which is the reason why your govt. is calling him to London he shall only be a burden
on you wherein you shall also have to feed him etc. Child! If you give pain to any ascetic and
saint Almighty God shall get displeased with you.
Hence it is my command that you immediately pass an order to release this ascetic disciple of
mine. The moment this letter reached London to the king the latter passed an order to
immediately release the ascetic. Thus Karachi’s collector after confiscating 20 kg of gold and
the extra 1quintal gold from the ascetic released the latter from jail.
The ascetic headed straight for HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s sacred Darshan. HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba said that he was not displeased with the ascetic. It is the Guru’s
responsibility to scold and hammer his disciple so as to make him walk on the correct path of
true well being. By helping the disciple to go beyond worldly fleeting attractions his doubts
are first warded off so that the disciple marches ahead on the path of God attainment that
gives eternal divine joy.
After scolding the ascetic a lot HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba gave him Prasad and sent him to
the Himalayas. He told the ascetic that this was the last Darshan he was getting. Now go to
the Himalayas so as to carry out austerities in order to remember Almighty God. Thus after
the ascetic got liberated from all desires he would be able to immerse his mind in God
devotion. This is the most important task of creatures that are embodied as humans. My
unlimited grace flows on you. You shall definitely attain God Realization.
Later about 120 kg of gold was kept in Karachi’s museum by the collector there. Even today
this gold is kept well secured in London and Karachi’s museum. Later this collector also
went for HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s Darshan and became his staunch devotee. At that
time the collector understood who exactly are saints and sages and what kind of wealth make
them infinitely wealthy.

SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
At that time this ascetic disciple of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba was about 82 years old. As
per Gurudeva HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s command mentally bowing down to him stayed
away from worldly chaos. He had headed towards the banks of Himalaya’s River Ganges in a
cave there so as to serenely remember Almighty God. There he dwelt for around 18 long
years. He was a devotee of Lord Rama. Due to Gurudeva HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s
blessings his mind got totally immersed in divine thoughts of God. Gurudeva making him
undergo harsh situations had in the process warded off the ascetic’s material desires,
yearning for name and fame and avarice for wealth. Now since the ascetic was free of all
worries daily in the early dawn hours after bowing down to Gurudeva HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba would immerse himself in remembering God and performing sacred worship.
Thus he got immersed in the infinite ocean of divine ecstatic bliss and supreme peace. He
had also had direct Darshan of Lord Shri Ram, Goddess Sita, Lakshmanji and Hanumanji.
Many a times Gurudeva HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba too would appear before him in his
astral form. After giving this ascetic divine commands, Gurudeva HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba would disappear from there in a flash of a moment.
CHAPTER 16
THE WALKING-TALKING MOBILE LORD MAHADEVA OF VRINDAVAN
Before the Holi festival HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would gracefully visit the holy pilgrim
spot of Shri Vrindavan Dham and the news of his arrival would spread like wild fire in the
regions of Vrindavan, Mathura, Bharatpur, Agra, Aligadh, Bulandshaher, Delhi, Gaziyabad,
Palval and Faridabad. In previous times HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would dwell in Shri
Vrindavan Dham for only 1.5 months on the shores of River Yamuna in a hut made of leaves
etc. This time a huge crowd of people including devotees and ministers from New Delhi had
come to have his Darshan. Apart from this the common lay public too would throng there in
hordes to have his Darshan and in every home this was the hot topic of discussion. Have you
gone for HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s Darshan? If not, do go there immediately for it. As
64/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
long as HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba dwelt on the River Yamuna shores till then heavy
throngs of crowds would rush there for his sacred Darshan.
Since thousands of people came there huge crowds were seen near HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba’s divine presence. Only one road passing by Shri Vrindavan Dham would reach HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s loft. If a person seeing hordes of people rushing there asked one
of them as to where everyone is heading towards? Is there a Mela or fair that has been
organized? He would get only one answer that this huge crowd is rushing to have the divine
Darshan of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba.
The main reason for this was that HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba had been donning this body
of his since the Dwapar Yuga or era. About 18 ancestral generations of the King of Nepal
were disciples of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. None knew what was his exact age was.
Some would say he was 400, others would say either 800, 1000 or 2100 years according to
the newspaper Navbharat Times. Many other newspapers and magazines gauged HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s age to be 5000 years. What exactly was the truth regarding his
age, only HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba knew for sure but these sorts of talks would attract a
lot of people here in hordes. It was also something quite amazing that akin to Lord
Sadashiva, HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba who remained totally naked and never accepted any
gift of any kind from his devotees would give away as Prasad of sweets, sugar candies etc in
untold amount to one and all who visited him. Yet no one knows how he managed to give all
this without accepting any cash or anything else from anyone whether he she was rich or
poor. ‘HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba only knows his divine sports or Lilas’. No doubt
devotees visiting HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would carry with them sweets, flowers, fruits
etc to offer to him as Dakshina yet when they saw him giving away infinite amounts of
sweets, fruits, sugar candies etc to each and everyone even if their number was more than
25,000 per day it appeared that it is only his divine sports or Lilas that not one devotee of his
left empty handed since each one without exception would be blessed with Prasad of sweets,
fruits, sugar candies etc. Further this too was quite common to witness that HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba would give away so many fruits in large numbers that were not known to grow
in the season in which he gave away these fruits as Prasad. For example when people were
mind boggled to receive fresh apples in the month of January HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
would just smile divinely. These incidences took place only as per his divine will. On noting
this amazement all devotees especially Vrindavan residents arriving for HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba’s hallowed Darshan would devotedly call him a walking-talking Lord
Mahadeva.
The reason for this was that after the festival of Mahashivratri in the year 1980 AD when HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba permanently started residing in Vrindavan since then this mystery
got unveiled. On Mahashivratri as soon as the sun set at dusk HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
would enter a special type of trance or Samadhi and since excess dampness remained in his
matted locks water drops would continuously drip down from his matted hair locks. The
65/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
more night time would advance, more swiftly would these water drops drip from his hair.
Between 11-12 pm so much water dripped forth that everyone was dumbstruck. On seeing
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba during Mahashivratri festival it seemed that we are directly in
the presence of Lord Mahadeva or Shiva. Water drops falling on his body from the matted
hair would be collected by us in bottles. Other faithful devotees too would collect it and
because of excess water dripping down HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s loft the soil there
would become wet and sticky. This quagmire too would be taken reverently by devotees and
kept safely in their homes. This quagmire when pasted on the body of anyone afflicted with
difficulties, health problems etc would get miraculously cured. When the water was sprinkled
in homes or on one’s body all problems related to them would get warded off. This was a
sure shot way to overcome black evil powers attacking a person. Even today this wet soil and
water of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba collected thus is placed on his tombstone-Samadhi
Sthal and it is given to devotees in tiny amounts.
When the Mahashivratri festival day dawned Vrindavan devotees would carry River Ganges
waters in pots and the first pot would be showered on HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba after
having his sacred Darshan. After this, the holy river water would be poured on the
Gopeshwar Mahadeva deity in a temple about 2 km away from HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba’s loft. These devotees believed that it is Gopeshwar Mahadeva deity who has appeared
as HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba in Vrindavan. For them Gopeshwar Mahadeva was an image
but HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba was a walking-talking Lord Mahadeva. In this huge crowd
of people carrying so many water pots the whole day victory praises like- ‘Victory to the
walking-talking Lord Mahadeva’ were chanted continuously. ‘Audhardani Mahadeva ki jai’
and ‘Mahadeva Devraha Baba ki jai’ were chanted loudly.
His tombstone has been constructed only so that devotees can offer their deep faith at his
sacred feet else say, does Almighty Lord Shiva require any building construction? Today all
devotees imbued with deep faith in unison do Mahabhishekh with 51 or 108 liters milk,
curds, Ghee, honey or sugar, perfume and a mixture of rose and fragrant pandanus (Kevda)
flowers for 2-3 hours continuously on each full moon day between 8 am to 10.30 am. On
every moonless day a radiantly grand flower house is made. On every 19th day of each month
blankets in winter, milk and sugar in summer and cold drinks are given to people everywhere
suffering from intense cold or heat. In the Shrimad Bhagwat scripture the Lord himself says
that although by incarnating as 10 Avatars I lessen the burden of this world but for the
happiness of many devotees I also appear as such an Avatar that only the pure souls of my
beloved devotees can identify. Hence we fall full length in prostration (Sashtang dandvat
pranan) at the lotus feet of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba called walking-talking Lord
Mahadeva on behalf of all his devotees and the world of animate inanimate creatures (beasts,
birds, trees, plants, humans, stones etc) so that all of us get his blessings for attaining all
round well being.

CHAPTER 17
THE GREAT MAHAYOGI SAMRAT DEVRAHA BABA-BEYOND ALL RELIGIONS, CASTES
AND SECTS
In those times when HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba resided in Kashi or Prayagraj for 1.5
months residents there would throng in hordes to have his sacred Darshan. In this crowd one
could find Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Parsis, Jews and devotees of other foreign
nationalities too. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba always harbored a divine vision of same
sightedness towards all and looked upon all as his very beloved souls. The great Samrat
Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s divine matted locks, thin bony body, naked, with a very serene
face and brilliantly shining eyes would paint an image of Almighty Lord Shiva in the minds
of all devotees who had his sacred Darshan. It seems as though that Audhardani Bholenath
had appeared here as an aged Lord Mahadeva. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would give
importance only to the innocent love for God oozing in the souls of anyone who visited him.
67/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Never would he give even an iota of a thought towards the visiting devotees’ nationality,
caste or wealth possessed.
It appears that an episode that had one taken place is forcing me to share the same with all
you respected devotees. One police inspector was HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s devotee
and another police officer was his spiritually initiated disciple-Shishya. One day HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba praised this police inspector devotee of his. Since the police officer
disciple was senior to this inspector he did not like this praise showered on the latter. Yet the
police senior officer kept silent. But at one point when this senior officer could not control
himself he told HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba that the police inspector whom he was praising
was not of good character. The officer said that he knew the inspector quite well. The
inspector would daily drink alcohol and yet you call him a good man. HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba said: Child! I have nothing to do with his alcohol consumption. I only know that his
soul is very pious. So many people even after devoting to God for a long time do not become
pure hearted. This inspector has no enmity towards anybody and hence in a matter of
moments he can be made to give up his alcohol addiction. With my blessings his will power
or Iccha shakti can become so powerful that in a flash he can give up alcohol addiction of
his. Thus in one day itself he can become the best amongst all greats. This is because he has
only one bad habit of alcohol drinking and no other bad quality. Thus he can become very
great. I am not blessing him because he has some desire in his mind for drinking alcohol. In
fact this taint of alcohol addiction pertains to this devotee’s physical body and not his
otherwise pious soul.
In this manner HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s divine vision always revered and honored a
person’s the true form of divine truth and never external superficial facades of devotion and a
show of being honest etc.
CHAPTER 18
HH MAHAYOGI DEVRAHA BABA’S TWO DEVOTEES CALLED HABBU MIYAN AND
BABBU MIYAN
The Nawab of Lucknow-India had 2 sons called Habbu Miyan and Babbu Miyan. The
Nawab was a staunch devotee of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba and both his sons too loved
the saint dearly. They would open their hearts out to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba and the
latter too would hear them for quite a long time. Once on the request of the 2 brothers HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba sat on his loft’s edge with his legs hanging down. The brothers
Habbu Miyan and Babbu Miyan would thus serve HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s sacred feet.
At that time HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba evinced a wish of getting his holy feet washed and
68/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
thus his 2 disciples there started making arrangements for water. But on knowing HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s haste Habbu Miyan and Babbu Miyan started licking his feet that
was full of turmeric, soil, dust etc with their tongue. Thus they commenced cleaning HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s feet in this way. After licking HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s
lotus feet for quite some time they cleaned away all turmeric, soil, dust etc that had stuck to
it. Now the feet, nails etc appeared so clean that it looked as though they had been washed
with water. Some other disciples of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba objected saying they were
never given this great opportunity. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said that now the
opportunity had arisen. If you so desire, you too can lick my feet. But the disciples who were
ready to this decided against it later after whispering in each others’ ears that they would also
have to lick the Muslim brothers’ spit that had latched on to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s
feet when they were licking it clean. Thus they remained silent. At that point HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba said that what can I do if you do not harbor pious devotional sentiments in
your heart which these 2 Muslim brothers possess in plenty? On hearing this all disciples
were ashamed and thus despite their request HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba refused to allow
them to serve his lotus feet. He said: Child! That was a wave of great devotion to me which
has now gone away.
From the hallowed lips of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba his teaching was heard in the bosom:
Ahaha nath mai ka jug jayan
Bhukhey bagh ke kam na ayan.
During the final years of the 18th century HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba was roaming here and
there in dark dense jungles of Uttarakhand-India. At that time he harbored intense dispassion
towards continuing to remain alive in his mortal coil. He was now totally detached towards
his very long life that he had led so far. He thought to himself that by giving up his physical
body he will give it away as food to other creatures. This was the decision made by him.
Keeping this aim in mind HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba reached a lake in the jungles where
wild ferocious beasts would come there to drink water. On its edge he sat down on a rock in
Sidhasan (half lotus posture) and entered the highest stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi or thought
free trance. This he did so that violent beasts on smelling his body would devour it as food to
sustain their bodies. In this manner HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba could give up his mortal
coil and end his divine sports or Lilas on planet earth. For about 1 month ceaselessly HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba remained in this trance with just no awareness of the external
mundane world. After this he regained a bit of mundane awareness. But on noting that his
body was not engulfed by any beast he was not happy. He was a bit pained that despite 1
month passing by no creature devoured his body. Very near to this lake in a cave dwelt an
old tiger. Since it was very old it could not hunt for prey in order to take care of his
nourishment needs. Off and on this old tiger remained hungry. After drinking water of the
lake the tiger would recline in his cave. When other creatures arrived at the lake to drink
69/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
water the tiger would try to kill them for his meals yet he failed miserably in doing so. Thus
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba made up his mind to let this old hungry tiger devour his body.
He entered the tiger’s cave and spoke to it: You may eat up my body to appease your hunger
but amazingly the tiger akin to a tame dog very quietly kept staring at HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba and also wagged its tail. But he then put his hand into the jaws of the tiger so that in
some way or the other his blood or flesh could be tasted by the tiger. But not only did the
tiger not chop off HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s hand but like a pet dog threw away his
hand out of its mouth. The more HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba tried to force the tiger to eat
his hand the tiger would remove it from its mouth. Not only this but that the tiger yawned
loudly, spread out its legs and right in front of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba shut its eyes to
fall into deep sleep.
At that time HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba wrote about his agony in the following words:
Ahaha nath mai ka jug jayaun.
Bhukhey bagh ke kam na ayaun.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! Seeing what Almighty God wished intensely I
immediately renounced the thought of giving up my mortal body. A Yogi must harbor no
type of attachment or affection towards his body. Thus how can such a Yogi get mentally
attached to others’ physical bodies? A true adept Yogi is always immersed in the divine bliss
of his soul/Atman. He does not have to come or go anywhere. It is such a great Yogi who
sanctifies Mathura, Kashi, Pushkar, Kurukshetra and Rivers Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati etc.
Such a Yogi is a great unswerving devotee of Almighty God.
Evam satata yukta ye bhaktastwam paryupasate.
Ye chapyakshara mavyaktam tesham ke yoga vittamaha.
……………BHAGWAD GEETA (CHAPTER 12)
Arjun said: O Shri Krishna! Who is a greater devotee i.e. a loving devotee who by immersing
himself ceaselessly in your devotion/meditation towards your name and form manifestation
(Saguna rupa) or one who worships and remembers only your nameless formless aspect
called Sat-Chit-Anand (Existence-Consciousness-Bliss)? Amongst these 2 devotees say who
is greater in your holy vision?
LORD SHRI KRISHNA SAID:
Mayyaveshya mano ye mam nityayukta upasate.
Shradhaya parayo petaste mai yuktatama mataha.
70/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
LORD SHRI KRISHNA SAID: Amongst Yogis I feel greatest are those who after focusing
their minds on me ceaselessly worshiping and meditating on me with deep supreme faith
devote themselves to my Saguna (with name-form) aspect.
Ye twaksharama nirdeshyam awyaktam paryupasate.
Sarwatra gama chintyam cha kutastha machalam dhruvam.
Sanniyamendriya gramam sarwatra samabuddhayaha.
Te prapnuvanti mameva sarwa bhuta hite rataha.
But those devotees who master their sense organs perfectly meditate and worship with a
same sighted intellect my cosmic indescribable form that is beyond the ken of the mind and
brain and which is the eternal, immovable, formless, imperishable and Sat-Chit-Anand
(Existence-Consciousness-Bliss) God/Brahman always work only for true welfare of the
entire cosmos and thus such Yogis with equal vision of soul oneness with all too attains me.
CHAPTER 19
HH MAHAYOGI DEVRAHA BABA WAS THE GURU OF 18 PREVIOUS GENERATIONS OF
ANCESTORS OF THE KING OF NEPAL
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s age remained a mystery. This is because he never ever
denounced the topic of his age and neither did he argue in favor of it. He would always live
in natural divine ease. Each word he compassionately uttered had deep profound meaning of
great import. When questioned about his age HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would only say
this much: Child! I am Brahmaleen (immersed eternally in divine cosmic consciousness and
that I am beyond the bondage of age of this material physical body of mine. From royal clans
many types of proof are available that clearly point out to the fact that HH Mahayogi
71/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Devraha Baba has been carrying out divine sports via his one and the same body right since
ancient times. When in the year 1989 AD Jaipur’s Queen Gayatri Devi came for HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s Darshan accompanied by her 2 sons during a conversation HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba spoke about many ancient kings of Raipur. One amongst these was
the Queen’s grandfather in law’s father as mentioned by her.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba spoke about many things not known to many people and was
known only to Queen Gayatri Devi. In this conversation hidden wealth was also discussed.
Queen Gayatri Devi said that she was wonderstruck as to how HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
knew about all this. The queen said that although she knew all this yet at that time it was not
possible for her to attain that wealth. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Daughter! Your
grandfather in law’s father was my disciple. Many kings previous to him too were my
disciples. It is not as though I am the royal Guru only of your royal clan. Kings of 18
generations previous to present day King of Nepal were my disciples. Proof of this can be
found even today in gold etched letters. My unlimited blessings flow on you and told her
younger son: Son Jagat! It is not to drive cars very fast.
The Kings of Palkot too was HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s disciples regarding whom he
had said when an opportunity arrived that in previous times kings could change the caste of
anyone they wished. The present day King Krishnashah Dev’s father Omkardas was initiated
into Sanyas when he had advanced in age by HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. One day this king
went into the jungle. He was riding a horse. He was very thirsty and with him was a Harijan
youth of lowest caste. He asked this youth to bring water. The youth hesitated a bit and asked
whether the king would drink water brought by him since he was of backward caste? The
king said: Alright! From today I convert you into a Kshatriya or soldier class. Go quicly now
and get me some water to drink. I shall definitely drink water from your hands. Saying this
much the king removed his Yajnopaveet/sacred thread and wound it around the low caste
youth’s neck. After drinking water brought by this youth, the king appeased his thirst. After
returning to his kingdom the king gave this youth lots of land and villages as gift. After a
very short time this youth became very rich and then he was also betrothed to the royal
family of Nepal.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would often say: Child! My blessings have always poured on
the Kings of Nepal. These kings would often send such rare priceless deer and tiger skins to
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba that instead of being killed by gun bullets were removed when
the deer and tigers of very rare species died a natural death. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
would always use only such deer skin and tiger skin got after they died naturally. He would
say: One must never perform holy worship rites or do meditation while sitting on skins of
deer, tiger etc killed via bullets when they are diseased. If you do so it shall only bring you
misfortune and strife.

CHAPTER 20
FULFILLING THE LAST WISHES OF KUREA STATE’S KING MAHENDRA PRATAP SINGH
DEV
Very near to Madhya Pradesh’s Reeva State existed a minor state called Kurea which is
called thus even today. The king of this state had 3 sons. One of these sons about 30 years
previously had settled in USA, the 2nd son Shri KP Singh Dev is at present the Irrigation
Minister of Madhya Pradesh and the 3rd son King Mahendra Pratap Singh Dev resided in
Kolkata’s 5 Dharmatalla Street. Recently in the year 1998 AD round about the Holi Festival
he shed his mortal frame. He was one amongst the most devoted and loving devotee of HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba. King Mahendra Pratap Singh Dev had once told us that previously
73/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba had also resided in their state and used to be well known as
Anvalhava Baba because he would dwell on a very old Anvla or emblyc myrobalan tree.
While talking about regarding this Kurea State HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would tell us
about such ancient things which our fathers would tell us after hearing from their fathers or
grandfathers. Rest assured after studying deeply about the history of my royal clan and
ancestors I (King Mahendra Pratap Singh Dev) have unearthed sound proof that at the time
our royal ancestors had yet not come and resided in Kurea State there it was aborigines
(Adivasi Kol-Bhils) who were its rulers. At that time HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba had
journeyed in this region a lot for a very long time. Later after gaining victory over these
aborigines my royal ancestors converted this Kurea State into their kingdom. Our royal
ancestors even before coming to dwell in Kurea State have been disciples of HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba. I know at least this much that my royal ancestors of past 14 generations
minimum have been disciples of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. It was he who inspired my
royal ancestors to inhabit this region.
Just 1 year before the king’s death when he visited me (HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s
disciple), he said: O revered sir! It is my last wish before death that my children settle down
well in life and that I immerse myself in devotion to Almighty God. Since this body shall
definitely perish one day I wish that even though I die anywhere yet its final post death rites
get performed in front of Guru Maharaj Devraha Baba’s tombstone or Samadhi Sthal.
Due to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s untold grace this final wish of King Mahendra Pratap
Singh Dev got duly fulfilled. We disciples of Guru Maharaj Devraha Baba with our own
hands performed his post death rites right in front of the Guru’s tombstone on the other bank
of River Yamunaji. At the time of these sacred rites the king’s elder brother KP Singh Dev,
Ashok and many other devotees were present.
We have many more noteworthy episodes regarding King Mahendra Pratap Singh Dev that
can be discussed by us only when an appropriate situation manifests. HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba and the deity Shri Jagganathpuri were the king’s icons. Thus we pray to both to bestow
eternal well being on the departed devotee king.

HH MAHAYOGI DEVRAHA BABA SARKAR POURS HIS DIVINE LOVE ON SAINT GAYA
PRASADJI AND SAINT DONGRE MAHARAJJI
Before HH Devraha Baba Sarkar wound up his divine sports on planet earth by shedding his
mortal coil amongst aged old saints of Vrindavan around the year 1988 AD he spoke
regarding only one aged saint called Shri Gayaprasadji by saying: Child! Gayaprasadji is a
very good pious saint. You all must definitely go for having his Darshan.
HH Devraha Baba Sarkar would also heap praises on great saint Bhagwatakar HH Dongreji
Maharaj. He would always send Prasad for Dongreji Maharaj. He said that Dongreji Maharaj
was an icon of divine love and would tell all devotees visiting him: Child! You must listen to
75/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Dongreji Maharajji’s discourse on Shrimad Bhagwad. If you do so you shall definitely attain
true eternal well being.
HH Devraha Baba Sarkar also highly eulogized Saint Prabhudatt Brahmachariji. Apart from
these HH Devraha Baba Sarkar had bestowed the title of ‘Jagadguru’ on quite a few saints
and sages. He had given the title of ‘Brahmarshi’ to Saint Satavlekarji.
The Super Saint amongst all great saints HH Devraha Baba Sarkar’s divine sports are so
infinite in number that it is impossible for us disciples to pen all of them down in literature or
book form.
CHAPTER 22
FOR THE LATE MRS. MODI, HH MAHAYOGI SHRI DEVRAHA BABA SARKAR WAS LORD
HANUMAN’S AVATAR
There was a time in India when the members of the Modi clan were leading industrialists and
thus were quite well known. One such member was the pious devotee called Mrs. Dayawati
Modi and she was a staunch follower of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. She looked upon him
as an Avatar of Lord Hanumanji. It was not just wild imagination on her part but that behind
this belief of hers was a proof based fact. Lord Hanumanji was her chosen deity and icon for
worship. Although she was already HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s disciple yet she would
76/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
visit other scholars and saints in order to get a method of performing worship rites so as to
get direct Darshan of Lord Hanumanji.
One day she got this information from a good scholar. After getting details of its ritual
methods Mrs. Dayawati Modi executed an Anushthan. As per the rules of spiritual
practices/Sadhana the time period and method of this Anushthan were kept a top secret. At
the prescribed time the Anushthan was completed. It had been done with a lot of faith and
effort yet she did not get direct Darshan of Lord Hanumanji. Thus Mrs. Dayawati Modi felt
quite sad. Later when she went to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba for Darshan she told him
about the details of her Anushthan. On hearing everything HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said:
Daughter! There was a king who thought to himself that previously since King Parikshit had
heard the Shrimad Bhagwat discourse from the great Mahayogi Shri Shukdevji Maharaj and
had attained salvation or Moksha, I too must listen to a Shrimad Bhagwat discourse and thus
get liberation/salvation. This king thus arranged for a Shrimad Bhagwat discourse. A well
known scholarly Brahmin gave this discourse. For all 7 days there was bliss experienced on
hearing it yet this king did not get salvation. Thus the king was very dissatisfied inwardly.
Suddenly one day he came in contact with a saint who had attained God vision and Self
Realization. The king spoke to this great saint about his desire and how he failed in attaining
salvation or Moksha.
When the king wished to hear from the saint as to why he failed thus the great saint replied:
Tomorrow when you come here do get the Brahmin who had given the Shrimad Bhagwat
discourse arranged by you. The king next day did exactly this. The great saint told one of his
disciples to tie up the Brahmin to a tree with a rope. Further the saint told the disciple to tie
up the king also to another tree growing nearby. Now the saint told the Brahmin to untie the
king who was tied with a rope to the tree. The Brahmin immediately said that he would not
be able to do so. Then the saint told the king to untie the Brahmin who was tied with a rope
to the tree nearby. The king too said that he would not be able to do so. Hence the great saint
said: O king! You aspire to place yourself at par with King Parikshit of days of yore? You do
not harbor within the same deep faith that King Parikshit had towards God and Guru and yet
you wish to get the same fruits of salvation just as King Parikshit had attained? This then is
you weakness. This Brahmin who gives discourses does so out of greed for wealth and hence
he fails miserably in executing great tasks as done by the great Mahayogi Shri Shukdevji.
Mahayogi Shri Shukdevji had not come there to give a discourse so that in return he would
get rich gifts in cash and kind or get worshiped by the audience there. Further King Parikshit
made no efforts to become like someone. In fact he had become an image of total dispassion
and mental detachment to the entire world. Since intense love for Almighty God had arisen in
his heart, his soul had become very pious. Hence on hearing the Shrimad Bhagwat discourse
with such a pure, sacred and focused mind he attained salvation. Thus you too must continue
hearing spiritual discourses and slowly but surely when the fruits of your sins get destroyed
your inner state shall become the same as that of the pious devoted King Parikshit. Hence

SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
daughter Dayawati! It is not very easy to attain God vision. Only when our faith is steadfast
do we get vision or Darshan of gods-goddesses and not otherwise. Of course this is possible
via blessings got from great self/god realized masters also.
The devoted Mrs. Dayawati Modi said: O Revered Devraha Baba Sarkar! You are a great
self/god realized master and a true Sadguru. I am your disciple. If my inner sentiments are
not totally sanctified I am standing in front of your holy presence. Hence I humbly pray to
your for God vision. You are Purna and divinely self fulfilled. Then why is it that I have yet
not attained God vision? Sir! Please do fulfill this heartfelt wish of mine via your divine
grace. I seek your divine shelter. Revered Devraha Baba Sarkar said: Daughter Dayawati!
Lest gods-goddesses actually appear in their true original form an ordinary human cannot
endure their divine aura. Hence they give vision or Darshan only after gauging the devotee’s
inner capacity to endure their divine radiant light of terrific potency. Lest Lord Hanumanji
manifests his form of burning Lanka in Tretayuga as detailed in epic Ramayan then today’s
lay folks on seeing it shall die in a flash. Today people do not have that potent power that
they can endure such brilliant divine light. Daughter Dayawati! My grace definitely flows on
you. Your inner sacred desire shall definitely get fulfilled. Come! Do have Darshan. After
saying this much Revered Devraha Baba Sarkar stood up on his loft with a deerskin in hand.
He was now being seen as none other than Lord Hanumanji. From his divine body emerged a
red attractive halo and on seeing him hardness of thunderbolt could be experienced. It was
impossible to focus one’s vision on this potently divine vision for more than 10 seconds.
After giving this holy Darshan only for 15 seconds Revered Devraha Baba Sarkar withdrew
his form of Lord Hanumanji. Then sitting down there itself he looked to his right and left for
some time. After this looking in front of him with his brilliant, shiny as diamond and rock
hard steady eyes out of sheer untold compassion and grace said (since he had already given
Prasad etc away): I now give permission to this devoted mother (Mrs. Dayawati Modi) to
leave.
Regarding this incident I (author) had a telephonic conversation with Mrs. Dayawati Modi in
1992-93 AD. I had asked a question to her regarding this incident and she answered that after
this Darshan of Lord Hanumanji she was mind boggled because this divine form was seen by
her only and none else who were present there near Revered Devraha Baba Sarkar. It is
dumbfounding that myself, Maharajji and Mrs. Dayawati Modi had Darshan one and the
same form yet for the remaining devotees they saw him as Revered Devraha Baba Sarkar
only and not Lord Hanumanji.
What a Yoga Lila of this great Mahayogi? A similar type of incident also took place with Mr.
and Mrs. Birlaji. Mrs. Birlaji saw Revered Devraha Baba Sarkar as naked Lord Sadashiva
and said that he was an Avatar of Lord Shiva. She would tell Revered Devraha Baba Sarkar
that he was none other than Lord Shiva himself. Each year she would find time to come for
Darshan of Revered Devraha Baba Sarkar at least twice. Many a times she would be
78/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
accompanied by the devotee Mr. Vishnu Hari Dalmiyaji. Revered Devraha Baba Sarkar
would give him many priceless divine teachings.
CHAPTER 23
BLESSINGS GIVEN TO THE FORMER PM OF INDIA-CHAUDHARI CHARAN SINGH BY HH
DEVRAHA BABA SARKAR
Before he became PM of India when Chaudhari Charan Singh visited HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba the latter gave him blessings. Chaudhari Charan Singh asked: HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba! With your blessings shall my mind’s wish get fulfilled? HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
replied: Child! I have given blessings for your true well being. He again asked: HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba! Please give me those blessings that fulfill my heart’s desire. I wish
to become the PM of India. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba replied: Child! I also bless you for
79/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
this desire of yours. Do not despair and make due efforts instead. It is the prime righteous
duty of each and every citizen of India whether they are Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians
etc that they serve cows (Goseva).
All Presidents and PM’s of our country India must pay special attention to this. One who
protects and serves cows attains both material and spiritual prosperity. Bang opposite to this
if you hurt and inflict pain on cows one faces nothing but discontent and poverty. Son
Chaudhari Charan Singh! My blessings are with you.
CHAPTER 24
HH DEVRAHA BABA SARKAR GIVES HINTS ABOUT THE FUTURE TO RAJIV GANDHI
In March-April 1990 AD Rajiv Gandhi arrived for HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba for Darshan
from New Delhi in 3 helicopters. He was accompanied by devotee Buta Singh and the former
CM of UP-Narayan Dutt Tiwari. Others included Kunvar Natwarlal, Rajesh Pilot and other
ministers. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba was talking to this elite group about Lord Rama’s
birthplace, Ayodhya, Faizabad and other related regions. He was also enquiring about the
state of Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and all communities without exception. HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba said: Child! Lord Rama’s temple must be built exactly where Ramalalla (baby
Ram’s image) dwells. All my Muslim, Sikh, Christian etc devotees too shall cooperate in
80/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
building Lord Rama’s temple and for building a mosque a place must be demarcated at such
a distance that in future no fights ensue. Son Rajiv! My blessings are on you. If you yourself
go there as per my divine , to lay the foundation stone for Lord Rama’s temple then due to
my grace this task shall succeed cent percent. There is just no doubt about it. HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba discussed many other matters also with Rajiv Gandhi and gave his blessings.
At that point Narayan Dutt Tiwari said: No doubt the foundation stone for Lord Rama’s
temple can be laid but……before he could continue HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
interrupted: But what child? Despite being a Pandit (Brahmin scholar) for such a sacred task
you added the term ‘but’. Do you know the meaning of ‘but’? It means weakness of mind to
execute any task. Hence give up these ‘ifs and buts’ and do as I say. Only then shall you, this
country, Muslim, Sikh, Christians etc shall attain true all round welfare. Muslims too are
devotees. Child! They are not aliens but are our very own brethren. Only since the past about
400 years due to pressure tactics of Muslim invader kings that they gave up Hindu religion
and became Muslims. I behold only God in everyone and thus am same sighted towards all. I
belong as much to my Muslim children as I do to my Hindu children.
Son Rajiv! Muslims also look upon me as their very own beloved soul. After saying this HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba told him in a gist about the Hindu-Muslim fight that had occurred
in Aligarh region (we shall detail this later in this book). He continued further: Not only
Muslims but Christians too are my beloved devotees. In the year 1904 AD England’s King
George Fifth had come here for my Darshan. After pondering a bit Rajiv Gandhi said: King
George Fifth may have come to India some other time. This is what I had studied in a book.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! You are using the word ‘maybe’ and that you say
you read this in a book. But since the king was my disciple he had come to meet me and had
come in the year 1904 AD only. Before Rajiv Gandhi tried to say something devotee Buta
Singh in whispered sound said something to Rajiv Gandhi and stopped him from arguing
with HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba again and again. Buta Singh knew that HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba was a Sidha sage or a great God Realized Sadguru. Hence it was not correct to
talk in the middle in a superfluous manner with such great saints. Yet he was also aware that
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s immense grace flowed on the family of Pandit Jawaharlal
Nehru.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Son Rajiv! At this moment I have demarcated such a
superb Muhurat or auspicious hour that if after having my holy Darshan you along with all
your aides at this very hour immediately by going to Ayodhya lay the foundation stone of the
temple then due to the potent influence of my divine blessings Muslim devotees too shall
unite with you and no obstacle shall be faced in building Lord Rama’s temple. In future due
to the influence of this meritorious task of yours any dire situation coming your way shall get
warded off and that you shall live a long life of 100 years. After this HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba gave this entire entourage to discuss the proposition made by him amongst them
because Rajiv Gandhi wished to consult ministers accompanying him regarding all this. After
81/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
discussing amongst them he told HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba that it was not possible for
them to go on that day itself to Ayodhya. A program for either the next day or any other day
could be decided for this task. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba via his 3rd divine eye could
easily foresee that at this hour Rajiv Gandhi would not go to Ayodhya. The future was an
open book for the great Mahayogi Baba. He was clearly seeing that PM Rajiv Gandhi was
going to get killed due to a human bomb blast. Thus in order to ward off this death very
compassionately HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba was asking him to set off for Ayodhya for
laying the foundation stone of the temple there. But obviously since PM Rajiv Gandhi had no
clue about this he failed to understand and hence immediately act as per HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba’s divine command. Later I humbly asked HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba: If
only you had told PM Rajiv Gandhi about his imminent death he maybe would have acted as
per your divine command. He replied: Child! You are but a child and hence you do not know
anything. Lest I start telling just about everyone who visits me, everything about their
good/bad past and future events to come, people shall think that I am pressurizing them to do
as I say. On hearing this, a thought manifested in my (author) mind that HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba was absolutely right. I was quite amazed at the sound logic in his words. Well
any way! Without possessing great divine qualities (Sanskars) in our mind it is well nigh
impossible to realize how many blessings are being poured down on us by HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba. When HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba heard that this ministerial group is
avoiding the task of laying the foundation stone of the temple then after talking a bit more
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba clarified further regarding certain secret mysterious topics. But
these divine observations of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba at that time did not seem ‘apt or
correct’ to us and instead appeared ‘superfluous’ (no doubt erroneously on our part as we
found out later when the appointed hour appeared).
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba pointing his hand in the southern direction said: Son Rajiv! It is
written in great scriptures that the Dikpal deity of this southern direction is Lord Yama and
he is the god of death. With wonder we were hearing how HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba was
veering away from the topic being discussed so far. No doubt we were spiritually ignorant
and hence it was natural for us to think thus at that time. After this HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba continued: Child! For his entire life man must abstain totally from pointing fingers at
others’ bad character, self praise and boasting about one’s so called achievements to one and
all. Son Rajiv! The southern direction is just not good or beneficial for you. For propaganda
and other tasks please do not go there at all. By looking upon this as my command always
remember it and my grace is always with you. From this divine advice of HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba it was clear that he was giving a subtle hint of PM Rajiv Gandhi’s imminent
death in the near future which at that time none of us present there could realize. But since
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba was omniscient or Trikaldarshi it was very much his duty that
he give this hint.
82/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
When once we had asked HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba that Sir! Since what is bound to
happen cannot be warded off and that it shall definitely occur if destined to do so then why is
it that great self realized omniscient Gurus like him give such prophetic hints at all? HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba compassionately answered: Child! Suppose you come to know that
on such and such a road many thorns are there then it becomes your prime duty to give a hint
to those who are about to travel on that road to refrain from doing so. Yet despite your well
meant hint they insist on journeying on that thorny road you must understand that his/her past
destiny and hence Karmas are pulling them there. It means that it was written in his/her fate.
Either due to Almighty God’s inspiration or for the well being and happiness of the entire
world a self realized saint or great adept Mahayogi does have the divine power to ward off
certain destinies. Yet, this warding off mainly is executed only when there is a possibility of
the person concerned doing a lot of good both materially and spiritually of world society (for
example if a person is destined to die at the age of 30 years a great saint might ward off this
destiny of his by extending his life span a bit more knowing well that in future this person
shall do a lot good for society’s material and spiritual well being with this extended life span
attained due to sheer blessings of this great saint).
Around 2 years after the last visit by PM Rajiv Gandhi for HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s
holy Darshan the ex PM of India- Rajiv Gandhi for election propaganda programs travelled
to Peramabatur in South India. But when he stepped down from the air plane and was
welcomed with flower garlands a human bomb blast took place nearby and along with many
other people gathered there Rajiv Gandhi too died on the spot. It is ironical that HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba was previously blessing him with a full life of 100 years yet today
at a relatively young age he passed away. Not only this, due to not understanding the
mysterious advice of great self realized saints such untoward incidences have been endured
by innumerous people right since time immemorial. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba wished
only to bestow true well being on Rajiv Gandhi (by giving that prophetic hint) yet due to his
powerful sad destiny Rajiv Gandhi failed to understand this hint and did bang against what
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba had advised him to do (In Sanskrit literature it is said: ‘Vinash
kale vipareet budhi’- it means when it is imminent that we have to face a downfall our
intellect makes only erroneous decisions).

CHAPTER 25
INDIA’S EX PM RAJIV GANDHI ASKS HH MAHAYOGI DEVRAHA BABA A QUESTION AND
THE LATTER’S ANSWER
The present information is very much related to the above incident of Chapter 24 yet since
this subject matter is different we are detailing it in this new chapter. Before ex PM of India
Rajiv Gandhi left he asked HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba: My mother Mrs. Indira Gandhi was
a staunch devotee of yours and hence why did she die in this manner? HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba replied: Child! Mother Indira was a very nice lady. Yet her son and your
younger brother Sanjay Gandhi using your mother as a medium started a campaign to control
over population in India via vasectomy that was based on Sanjay Gandhi financially
84/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
benefitting the most at the personal level. All govt. officers were getting commission for
every vasectomy carried out. As a result by forcefully catching helpless ascetics and saints
dwelling in pilgrim spots etc were made to undergo vasectomy. Although it was at the subtle
behest of Sanjay Gandhi, the lay public of India thought that it was his and your mother
Indira Gandhi who was compulsorily making everyone forcefully undergo vasectomy. In this
manner many ascetics and saints heaped curses on Indira Gandhi. Further even during the
campaign for cow protection or Satyagraha Go Raksha Andolan the saints/ascetics protesting
were heavily hit with sticks by police officers and many were either wounded badly or were
crushed to death. In this carnage the bones of hundreds of saints got broken badly. Thus these
saints too cursed both Sanjay Gandhi and Indira Gandhi wrathfully. Since the burden of sins
had increased a lot mother Indira lost in the elections. After this incident although there was
not any great auspicious Yoga in her birth chart yet due to my grace she did again rule India
for a few years. Child: When you people become Prime Ministers it is but the result of your
meritorious deeds. Due to sacred pious acts like to wipe the tears of people in anguish, giving
food to the hungry, giving cool water to those who are thirsty, educating those who are
illiterate, not taking away another’s rightful share of things, living life with ethics and
honesty, donating land for the good of society etc man gets the fruits of Rajyoga or royal
destiny and due to the influence of these great deeds as time lapses by such a person gets to
rule his country. Child! Never give false testimony in court cases etc. These great tasks
please Lord Vishnu and due to his joy man later becomes a king.
Yet if you execute many more sins then since they mix with your previous good merits this
Rajyoga gets destroyed and thus you lose your appointment as a ruler of your country. Child!
Thus we must save ourselves from curses and harsh sentiments aimed at us by others.
Especially if widows, orphans and ascetic saints heap curses on us then even Almighty God
cannot save us from sorrow resulting from these curses. Rajeev son! You are a devotee. I
give you my blessings.
CHAPTER 26
POLITICAL PARTY CALLED CONGRESS GIVEN THE SYMBOL OF A CALF BY HH MAHAYOGI
DEVRAHA BABA
The late Shri Motilal Nehruji’s father was a disciple and staunch devotee of HH Devraha
Baba Sarkar. When Shri Motilalji was a small child his father got him spiritually initiated by
HH Devraha Baba Sarkar. Later this tradition continued with Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira
Gandhi and right up to Rajiv Gandhi. It stopped only when HH Devraha Baba Sarkar left his
mortal coil to become Brahmaleen.
85/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
When the Congress Party was formed and a question arose as to what the party symbol
should be many types of symbols were suggested. Yet since no final decision could be taken
as fate would have it they had gone for HH Devraha Baba Sarkar’s sacred Darshan. Thus
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru asked him about his party symbol. HH Devraha Baba Sarkar
replied: Child! In the Indian Mythology called Padma Puran it is mentioned that once Lord
Vishnu said: My devotees must look upon the calf as my very own divine form. Child! I
believe that if you keep your party symbol as the calf which is God’s own divine form it shall
usher in your all round welfare. You are a Pandit or Brahmin scholar. Thus it is apt that your
vision focuses on righteousness and my blessings are on you. Time and again when required
you shall definitely experience this blessing of mine.
CHAPTER 27
INDIA-CHINA WAR IN THE YEAR 1962 AD
When China attacked India the latter’s army did not know the proper art of warfare. This is
because what is called war in the true sense of the term this was the first time that Indian
soldiers were facing. Chinese soldiers were massacring Indian soldiers very badly. The
Indian soldiers were finding it very difficult to combat them. Indians are known to be quite
sensitive and emotional in nature. It is heard that the Chinese army very shrewdly used this to
their advantage. In order to take over certain regions the Chinese army sent some very
experienced soldiers using wiliness. They dressed up these soldiers of theirs as Tibetan
86/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
ascetics and they headed towards that region. Indian soldiers guarding that region let these
disguised Chinese soldiers go away unobstructed thinking them to be innocent Tibetan
ascetics. The Indian soldiers were making plans to welcome the so called innocent Tibetan
ascetics. But when these Chinese soldiers disguised as innocent Tibetan ascetics called
Lamas were just at a distance of 40 meters from the Indian soldier squad they swiftly
removed rifles hidden in the Lamas’ robes and fired a rain of bullets at the Indian soldier
squad. Thus with ease the cunning Chinese soldiers took over that region belonging to India.
When the Indian PM was in a tensed state he out of sacred inspiration went for HH Devraha
Baba Sarkar’s holy Darshan. HH Devraha Baba Sarkar blessed him and said: Child! This is
but the sport of Kaliyuga or Dark Era yet I bless you that the Chinese army shall no longer be
able to move further ahead into Indian soil and in fact, will revert back.
After this Panditji did go to Russia for help yet after HH Devraha Baba Sarkar gave his
divine blessings not once was it mentioned in news broadcasts that China was marching
ahead into Indian soil. In fact the very next day in the news broadcasted in the radio it was
being said that Chinese army attack had sort of stopped in a major way. Thus it was a great
opportunity for the Indian army to collect their wits and put up a firm steadfast show against
the Chinese soldiers. But the thing is how could everyone know that it was due to
Brahmarshi HH Devraha Baba Sarkar’s divine grace that our country India was protected
from a massive Chinese invasion?
CHAPTER 28
JALESHWAR BABA AND TAILANG SWAMI
In the last leg of the 19th century Brahmarshi HH Devraha Baba Sarkar started dwelling in
water only. Initially he would reside in water for about 4 hours. But slowly by increasing the
number of hours he started dwelling in water continuously for 15 days at a stretch. After
coming out of water on Ekadashi, full moon and moonless night would live on sunshine and
air very much like water based creatures. At the end of the 20th century both Guru-brothers
(Bade Maharaj and Chote Maharaj) would be given a lot of profound wisdom in solitude on
devotion to God/Bhakti and Yoga spiritual practices. During this phase once we asked
Brahmarshi HH Devraha Baba Sarkar as to how he resided in water for so many days? Does
87/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
immersing oneself in water for so long harm the body? Does not the skin start rotting?
Brahmarshi HH Devraha Baba Sarkar with a smile said: Child! The Yogi by taking up 5
types of bodies can move about anywhere in the existence of the 5 great elements. In the
human, animal and bird’s body earth element predominates. Due to its influence since
ceaseless one is touched by earth and air elements their body does not get destroyed. In fact if
you make someone stand in water then in a very short while his/her mind shall yearn to come
out of water in an agitated manner. Similarly the body of fish, tortoise etc predominates with
water element. Space element predominates in birds. As per Yoga Science this is the precise
reason why fish cannot live without water and that birds can fly high in the sky.
Due to the possibility of facing a lot of obstacles in the world adept Yogis in order to enjoy
ecstatic divine bliss of Nirvikalpa Samadhi or trance reside in hidden caves of lofty
mountains like Himalayas. Further, they can also imbibe a body, predominating with water
element. Hence they can immerse themselves in river, lake water. There is just nothing
wondrous about this. Child! Even you can practice this diligently. Yet before doing this
mastering Kumbhak is a must (in the breathing exercise of Yoga called Pranayama after
inhaling or exhaling air it is stopped either within the body or outside which is called Antar
or Bahya Kumbhak). Also imbibing the attitude of non violence or Ahimsa in the psyche too
is very important. We asked: Revered Sir! How can we do such Yogic practices? He kindly
answered: For doing this practice when you master the art of doing Kumbhak for ½ an hour
continuously within the river water at a distance of 16 feet in the shape of a square 4
bamboos must be pitched. Then all around these, cloth of jute or canvas must be spread out
on them. Then after going within it as per one’s power of doing Kumbhak make a powerful
resolve. Before completing Kumbhak one must come out of the river water. Child! So far the
attitude of non violence or Ahimsa has yet not been firmly established in your psyche. Hence
I have given you the technique of using canvas or jute cloth. If without making proper
arrangement for protecting yourself you try to immerse yourself in water to enter Samadhi or
trance definitely crocodiles dwelling in these waters shall eat you up. Even huge tortoises and
fish can devour you. Till I do not give you my divine command both of you must refrain
from immersing yourselves in river, lake waters.
When Brahmarshi HH Devraha Baba Sarkar was in a divinely blissful state he would give us
wondrous holy teachings. He would say: Child! There was once a Yogi called Tailanga. In
the past century i.e. quite some decades back I gave up dwelling deep in the river water
simply because people felt this was a miraculous feat of mine and thus my renown spread
everywhere like wild fire. But when I reached Banaras later Yogi Tailanga who had yet not
shed his mortal coil in order to reach Kaivalya Mukti had asked me a question regarding the
feat of dwelling deep in the river water. Since I felt he had apt spiritual credentials or Patrata
I answered his question. After that Yogi Tailanga too started dwelling deep in the river water
for about 6 days at a stretch. No doubt he was a very good spiritual aspirant or Sadhaka.
After attaining the supreme divine state of Kaivalya Mukti he obviously no longer could
88/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
spiritually uplift worldly people. Child! Quite from the beginning his nature was such. He
was always immersed within the divine bliss of his soul. He would not pay attention to
anyone very quickly. He would sit or lie down akin to an inert rock without moving even a
wee bit. He would be seated thus on the River Ganga banks enduring rainfall without
raincoat/umbrella, would not wear clothes even in days of terrible winter cold and would lie
down on hot sand in days of hot summer. At such intense low or very high temperatures no
layman would be able to stand even for a few seconds. Thus in the true sense of the term
Yogi Tailanga was a Paramhansa.
In this way there many such incidences which Brahmarshi HH Devraha Baba Sarkar would
relate to us 2 Guru-brothers when we alone with him. From these conversations with
Brahmarshi HH Devraha Baba Sarkar we realized why after the year 1854 AD he became
well known everywhere as HH Jaleshwar Baba.
CHAPTER 29
A RUSSIAN JOURNALIST COMES TO VISIT HH MAHAYOGI DEVRAHA BABA IN SHRI VRINDAVAN
DHAM
A Russian journalist Mikhail Sergai had come for Darshan of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
just a few months before the latter shed his mortal frame. While answering many questions
posed by him HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba gave very satisfactory answers to the journalist.
At that very time when this devotee journalist asked regarding Mikhail Gorbachov HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba being omniscient due to possessing divine vision of the past,
present and future said: Gorbachov is a good man. Yet the persons surrounding him as his
aides are not good people. My beloved soul devotee Gorbachov must remain very cautious
89/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
about these people by his side. This is because his country Russia may break apart (later this
actually happened). This great gigantic Russia got broken and scattered into tiny nations.
Regarding devotee Gorbachov, HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba also said: Child! If Gorbachov
does come for my Darshan then due to my blessings this incident that may take place in
future shall not take a very serious form. In other words HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba had
called Mikhail Gorbachov for Darshan yet the latter could not make it. Only he knows how
these observations made by HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba reached him. Yet lest the
importance of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s sacred advice had been deeply understood by
Mikhail Gorbachov he would definitely have come for Darshan. HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba harbored a lot of divine love for Russia. His grace poured immensely on Russia. When
everyone knew that Russia has broken apart and there untold poverty has taken over HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba on hearing this very compassionately said: I see that in future my
blessings for Russia’s material and spiritual uplifting shall fructify albeit slowly. In the entire
world India and Russia shall become renowned for becoming true friends. Further I clearly
see that after a certain time limit both these countries shall gain fame as economically and
spiritually powerful nations.
A very good thing that has happened is that people there are now open heartedly accepting
the divine existence of Almighty God. Lest any further delay had taken place with reference
to this the present crisis seen there at present would have taken a much more bitter and
ghastly turn.
REGARDING CHINA:
From the incident of Russia, China too must learn a lesson immediately and hence accept the
divine existence of Almighty God. The more Chinese people delay regarding this the more
they shall face dire gigantic situations. Arrogant pride regarding power of any sort can
destroy it in a matter of a few days itself.
REGARDING TIBET:
Tibetans in actuality are Indians only. In future after Tibet becomes very much a part of India
it shall carve an important niche in the entire world. My untold blessings pour down on the
Dalai Lama also.

CHAPTER 30
HH MAHAYOGI DEVRAHA BABA SARKAR WAS NOT BORN FROM A HUMAN MOTHER’S
WOMB
In the ancient history of India the word ‘Yoni’ has a very important meaning. Everyone
knows that as per the Hindu Religion belief creatures are of 8,400,000 types or species. In
ordinary terminology people are heard to say that man in order to face the fruits of sins
committed have to stray in the bodies of 8,400,000 types or species of creatures. In this the
human species reigns supreme. The nature of a Yoni according to great Rishis of yore is its
fount from where a creature is born. Thus we have different types of Yonis or species like
91/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
that of a dog, cat, fish, snake etc. In present day times if in the midst of 100 humans it is said
that even without the aid of a human mother’s womb a child can take birth then people
despite trying a lot will fail to accept this concept. This is because the lay public is just not
aware of such a type of science. As per our Indian scriptures Brahmaji (creator of this world)
is called Padma Yoni (womb of lotus) because he was created from a lotus flower. Not only
this but that recently about 5500 years back during the Mahabharat War era Draupadi and her
brother Dhrishtadyumna too were created or born without the aid of a human mother’s
womb. Instead their Yoni is called Yajna. This is because in a Yajna organized by King
drupad his wife who had gone for a bath came after much delay. His wife was very addicted
to eating betel leaves etc hence it was most required that she attends the Yajna after taking a
proper bath. Yet in the meantime the Yaj or priest via his assistant priest called Upyaj offered
Abhimantrit Yajna materials to the ignited Yajna fire in order to fulfill the desire of the
Yajman who was King Drupad. At that very moment from this Yajna pyre emerged
Drishtadyumna attired with an armor, crown, sword and bow-arrow. Immediately after him
appeared the lady Draupadi from the blazing Yajna pyre. She was a bit dark skinned in hue.
Not only this but that just 500 years previously the renowned saint of Uttar Pradesh
Kabirdasji was not born from some human mother’s womb but that instead he was born from
the womb of a heavenly damsel or Apsara. This damsel had left him on planet earth. Indian
history right since ancient times oozes with such mind boggling incidences.
At the time when a big wave of poverty befell on the shoulders of boatmen of Prayagraj HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba out of sheer compassion had made arrangements to feed them daily.
At that time all boatmen who numbered in thousands wrote huge slogans on their boats i.e.
‘The sun of the sky of boatmen- HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’. On hearing this all Brahmins
of Kashi asked HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba: Revered Sir! Are you a boatman? He
answered: Yes child! You may look upon me as a boatman yet I do not help you cross the
ocean of this material mundane world. Instead I am that boatman who helps you cross the
ocean of sins that is the cause of your material world bondage.
Over here we remember another episode too. The super ocean of compassion HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba on coming to know that in a place called Mirzapur there are many launderers
and that each one of them have about 5-7 donkeys who carry on their backs loads of clothes
to the river for washing and that after the clothes are washed and dried they are again carried
by the donkeys on their backs while returning from the river, HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
was told that since these launderers were very poor they could not feed these donkeys
properly and hence the donkeys were very thin, weak physically and ill too. Despite this the
launderers would hammer the donkeys with sticks and force them to carry the huge weighty
burden of clothes. When HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba travelled to Mirzapur he after getting
ready sumptuous meals highly nutritious from the human diet standpoint encompassing rice,
sweet food items, vegetables, delicious pudding etc fed these donkeys to a hearty meal and
then even the launderers were fed with this tasty food. After this all of them wondered as to
92/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
why HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba was feeding them with such tasty meals? Why did he feed
food to our donkeys thus? Most definitely he must belong to our launderer community. Else
till today in the annals of history forget any lay person but that not even a saint has executed
such a task.
It must be remembered that HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would give a lot of respect to all
devotees and visitors approaching him. Never would he insult anyone and never would he
hear insults being inflicted on anyone else. Once I and Bade Maharaj (Shri Devdasji) had
heard from the hallowed lips of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba when a person had asked:
Revered Sir! Do you also observe religious vows called Vratas? As an answer he had said:
Yes child! I too observe a religious vow. This vow involves never to insult any animate or
inanimate being or any person and also never to hear anyone insulting any animate or
inanimate being or any person.
Over here the launderers as per their limited brain capacity decided that without doubt HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba is also a launderer like us. This decision was broadcasted
everywhere in order that their launderer community gets respect due to the fact that such a
highly renowned saint like HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba belonged to their community.
When again this doubt was raised in front of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba as to whether
really he was a launderer or not he answered: Yes child! You may look upon me as a
launderer. But I am not that launderer who washes clothes. I am that launderer who washes
away the dirt accruing from the sins of the world. We were amazed that HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba was a super saint without even an iota of ego in him. There was a time later
when scholars of Kashi had prayed for clarification regarding this. They asked: Revered Sir!
Tell us please as to who you really are. This is because when people call you a boatman you
agree with them, when people call you a launderer you agree with them also and when many
others call you something other than this you agree with them also. Hence we ask you
humbly-what is the actual truth? HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba replied: Child! I am a
Brahmarshi. It is certainly not my task to hurt that heart of people oozing with sacred love.
All scholars hearing these divine sentiments of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba left very
satisfied.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba had such divine aura in him that none who approached him left
dissatisfied even a wee bit. Much later when HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba was about to shed
his mortal coil he fully unveiled the secret to us 2 very close disciples of his by saying: My
body is not that of a mundane human being. Instead it is a divine body not born from the
womb of a human mother. I have in fact created this divine body via my Yogic divine powers
in the sacred waters of River Saryu. This body of mine is Ayonija or not born from a human
mother’s womb. Or else simply for your ease of understanding water is my nature and water
itself is my womb. In the presence of another scholar too about 35 years previously this
mystery was unfolded by HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba as a result of which this scholar in a
93/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
poetry penned by him with reference to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba had written in these 2
lines that are a portion of the entire poem:
Saryu hi apni mata banayi, tahan rahe baithe muni rayi.
It means that HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba made River Saryu his mother and there he who is
the king of Munis or great thinkers resided and sat.
CHAPTER 31
HH MAHAYOGI DEVRAHA BABA SARKAR KINDLY ACCEPTS THE INVITATION OF THE
KING OF PALKOT
The father of the present King of Palkot-Shrikrishna Shahdev whose age is about 85 years,
was at that time the king of Palkot. Sometimes he would go for HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba’s Darshan. After a short time span he was looked upon as a member of the close inner
circle of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s disciples. He joined with HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba with such devotion that one day he invited him to reside in his palace. HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba said: Child! I am a Yogi. Hence I cannot come to live with you. I am an
ascetic. Hence my welfare lies here in the jungles. The king tried his best to convince HH
94/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Mahayogi Devraha Baba yet the latter sidestepped his request saying that the king did not
have any such separate area apart from his palace where he as an ascetic could carry out his
spiritual practices. There was a time previous to this when on being questioned by the king
he had replied that royal rulers would make specific arrangements in ancient times so that
great Yogis could execute their secret Yoga based spiritual practices. When at present HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba refused the king’s invitation the king due to another incident got
dug up a very big lake as per information he had gathered from HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba.
At the base of the lake the king constructed a house of 4 big rooms and then this was sealed
with mud. In order to enter this house one had to walk through a tunnel because the lake that
was dug up had a very big depth. At its base was this house and on top of this house was the
lake.
It means that the lake was above the place of Yoga practices dwelling way below in the
womb of earth. When this construction was completed the king again prayerfully pleaded
with Revered Gurudeva Mahayogi Devraha Baba to accompany him and dwell in this house
under the lake. Lest HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba kindly agreed to dwell in this house merely
for 1 night too then since the king said he was the ruler of that region he would experience
glorious self fulfillment. Hence HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba accepted the invitation of this
devoted disciple king and not only went to this house under the lake conducive for Yoga
practices but actually resided there too. This region was so conducive that HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba had again later visited that house a couple of times more.
CHAPTER 32
KING OF PALKOT GETS INITIATED INTO SANYAS OR THE ASCETIC WAY OF LIFE
The King of Palkot had constructed a house under the lake for HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
so that the latter could lead his ascetic way of life and execute Yoga practices. Over here
itself HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba had taught the King of Palkot a Yoga practice called
Mudra Yoga. When the king practiced this Mudra Yoga with immense zeal and steadfastness
for a short time period the king experienced great dispassion to the mundane material world
and thus he detached himself from his kingdom, royal family members etc. He was already a
close disciple of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba and hence after a long time frame when HH
95/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Mahayogi Devraha Baba felt that the king was very detached inwardly he initiated the king
into Sanyas or the ochre robe ascetic way of life. The king’s name was also changed and now
he was called Sadhu Omkardas.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba also taught Sadhu Omkardas many spiritual practices so as to
attain Yogic divine energies. Since Sadhu Omkardas performed these practices with deep
faith and steadfastness on a daily basis his Kundalini Shakti or Divine Serpent Power got
activated. He attained Sidhi or success via Japa Yoga or Mantra chanting. This is because
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would always advise that for preliminary spiritual awakening
and uplifting in present day times Japa and Bhakti Yoga are very beneficial. The remaining
types of spiritual practices are not very easy to perform and thus success is very difficult to
attain via these.
CHAPTER 33
THE KING OF PALKOT GIVES 64000 ACRES OF LAND TO HH BRAHMARSHI DEVRAHA
BABA AS GURU DAKSHINA
From the history of Indian Rishis-Munis we find that when the revered Guru initiates his
disciple into Mantra chanting or any other type of spiritual practice the disciple humbly
offers Guru Dakshina or preceptorial gift to the Guru as a token of gratefulness. As per
mythology tales/Puranas wealth, property, vehicles and many other expensive gifts are
offered as Guru Dakshina. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would say: Child! It is the task of
96/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
the Guru to help his disciple attain God Realization, help them experience their divine
cosmic soul principle and egg them on to tread the path of truth, non violence, Brahmachrya
(celibacy for attaining God) etc and a true great Guru never expects any Guru Dakshina in
return. Yet the true disciple insists on giving gifts to the Guru voluntarily out of sheer
gratefulness. Yet if a so called Guru is greedy and the disciple is avaricious both enter hell
only.
It means that suppose a so called Guru inwardly harbors desires for wealth, fame etc and a
disciple harbors greed for the wealth that his Guru possesses then know for sure that both
land in terrible fear invoking hell. The King of Palkot had already become a Sanyasi via
initiation from HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba and he had also attained fair bit of success in his
spiritual practices. Thus the king now yearned devotedly to place at the hallowed feet of his
revered Sadguru HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba a gift or Guru Dakshina. After deeply
cogitating over this the king felt that ascetics should have a hermitage of their own. Hence he
thought to himself that the best Guru Dakshina would be in the form of giving away land.
After deciding thus, the King of Palkot called Sadhu Omkardas after Sanyas initiation gave
away 64000 acres of land from his royal estate despite HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba asking
him not to do so. Later HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba did accept this land donation only for
keeping his beloved ascetic disciple happy. It is just not difficult for respected readers of this
book to gauge how expensive was this gift in the form of 64000 acres of land equivalent to
266 square km. In an area of land that is 16 km long and 16km wide an entire city can be
inhabited. Yet at the time of accepting this gift of 64000 acres of land Sadguru HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba refused to sign legal papers on which it would be clearly mentioned that
Sadguru HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba is the legal owner of this land gifted. This is despite
the fact that ex King of Palkot now called Sadhu Omkardas after Sanyas initiation had come
with all legal papers for handing over so much land to his revered Sadguru HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba. But Sadguru HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! I have full faith in
you. Via oral speech you have given me this land as gift and in return I have accepted it.
Within about a month the son of ex King of Palkot’s now called Sadhu Omkardas after
Sanyas initiation who had become the new king came for Darshan of both his father Sadhu
Omkardas and Sadguru HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. After talking a bit with the new king
Sadguru HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba asked: Child! I am an ascetic. From the divine
standpoint this entire earth is mine. Yet from another standpoint this body too does not
belong to me and say hence do I have the right to call anything else my own? A disciple of
mine has given me land as a preceptor gift. I wish that you accept it looking upon it as
belonging to me. But the king’s father Sadhu Omkardas objected saying: O Revered
Sadguru! I have handed over this land to you only after making proper arrangements for the
comfortable upkeep of my ex royal family members. And yet you are returning it to my own
son who is now the king. Sadguru HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! You are my
beloved disciple. By offering me this gift, you have fulfilled your righteous duty as a disciple
97/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
towards me that is your Guru. Thus since I accepted this land as gift it now belongs to me.
You should hence not harbor any objections with what I do with this gift. Even so if you
raise an objection I will take it that you have not given this land to me wholeheartedly. This
is because once you give a gift to someone the right over it is totally lost by the one who
gives the gift. Child! Hence I did not allow you to make legal papers declaring me to be the
rightful owner of this land gifted so that if I later want to give it away to someone I do not
again have to go through the legal paper red tape and rigmarole.
CHAPTER 34
HH BRAHMARSHI DEVRAHA BABA NEW THE LANGUAGE OF BEARS TOO
The episodes written in this book had been heard by us directly from the sacred lips of
Revered Gurudeva HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. When we had gone to meet the King of
Palkot the elder son of King of Palkot (Shrikrishna Shah) called Govindji he told us: O Chote
Mahrajji! Revered Gurudeva HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba has not only immensely blessed
our royal lineage and subjects, but that he has blessed tiny creatures, beasts of our kingdom
98/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
also. What more can I say? When Revered Gurudeva HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would
come I felt that even plants and trees danced in divine bliss.
There was a time when we were quite small bears would create terror in our region. These
bears would ferociously attack women, children, men etc and then kill them mercilessly.
Such incidences of killing were a daily affair. Laborers working in jungles thus became very
scared. At that very time Revered Gurudeva HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba auspiciously
arrived amidst us all and our father-the king immediately appraised him of our terrifying
problem. The king asked him whether these bears should be killed using bullets and rifles
and thus ward off terror. Our region had thousands of bears in the jungles. We arrived at this
figure because each group of bears roaming in the dark thick jungles had around 50 members
each. In it were included children, young bears and aged ones too. Regarding this Revered
Gurudeva HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! When Lord Rama had incarnated as an
Avatar in the Treta Yuga bears and monkeys in unison had helped the lord a lot in his divine
mission. Hence if you kill these bears you shall accrue a lot of sin. In fact at this moment I
have appeared in your midst simply as per the divine inspiration of Lord Rama. Hence my
advice to you is to immediately make a hearty tasty meal bread, sweet pudding, vegetables
etc that can feed about more than 2000 people. Today I shall feed these bears to a sumptuous
meal. My father did exactly this. When the food was ready it was placed in huge vehicles and
placed outside the fort. Revered Gurudeva HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba by going a bit
further ahead called out to the bears with a particular sound. This sound made by him was
quite loud but all of us nearby could not quite understand Gurudeva’s action. We were all
just carrying out commands given by him. Five minutes after he made this sound we were all
astounded to see that all the bears started coming towards Revered Gurudeva HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba. In a short while the total number of bears in his presence mounted to about
2000 and he asked us volunteers to spread out leaf plates in a single file. On these leaf plates
the tasty food made was served liberally. These ferocious bears were acting as per Revered
Gurudeva HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s commands in such a way as though Gurudeva was
their chief in command. In order to witness this feat, workers of the fort and other people too
collected there in hordes of hundreds. On witnessing the bears’ love for Revered Gurudeva
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba and also seeing these beasts sitting down on the ground like
humans eating food everyone there was dumbstruck. At that very time Gurudeva while
blessing the bears said: Children! Henceforth you all must not harm even one human being.
It is so mind boggling Sir! This incident had taken place about 35 years back yet till today no
such incident of bears killing our people here has been reported. After the year 1980 AD
since people insanely and mercilessly cut up trees in the jungles the number of bears here has
diminished significantly. No doubt even today bears dwell here but not in huge numbers as
they did previously.
99/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
The above incident had been heard by us from the hallowed lips of Revered Gurudeva HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba only in a nutshell but today since we heard details of it our hearts
oozed with divine ecstasy.
CHAPTER 35
HH MAHAYOGI DEVRAHA BABA SARKAR DISAPPEARS FROM OUR SIGHT
What we are about to write had taken place very much when the episode of bears had taken
place as mentioned in the previous chapter. The King of Palkot very much desired that HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba steps first into a new bungalow he had built in the jungles so as to
divinely sanctify it. Arrangements had been made to take HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba by a
100/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
vehicle to this new bungalow. Accompanying HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba in this vehicle
were the 2 sons of the king and one of them was Govindji Upnam. Out of childlike behavior
the 2 small sons insisted that they would go to see the new bungalow. HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba gave his permission and commanded their father the King of Palkot to see to it that
these 2 boys seated in front of the car must not look behind where he would be seated in the
rear seat of the car. He further told the king to set up a curtain between the front and back
seat of the car so that nothing could be seen behind. After firmly telling his sons not to look
behind, the King of Palkot also got a curtain fitted between the front and back seat of the car.
Govindji Upnam one of the 2 sons of the king himself told us that: Maharaj! Both of us
brothers were children. Out of childishness when the car headed towards the new bungalow
from the fort where we resided in a short time I pushed the curtain aside and peeped behind.
My mind was dumbstruck because no one was seated in the back seat. I was very sacred. I
spoke about this in a whispering tone to my brother seated in the front seat next to me. He too
peeped behind but amazingly saw no one there. We brothers shivering with fright sat silently.
We now had no daring to again peep behind in the rear seat of the car. When the car actually
reached the new bungalow the driver opened our front seat door and then immediately
opened the back seat door. We were just mind boggled to see HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
coming out from the rear seat of the car. Thus we brothers simply forgot running about and
playing in this new bungalow having witnessed this astounding episode. HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba glanced at the new bungalow from outside itself and then after roaming a bit
here and there in the surrounding jungle area we all returned to the fort.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba no doubt loved us children yet we just do not know what divine
sport or Lila of his was this on that day.
CHAPTER 36
AN AUSTRALIAN CITIZEN CALLED RAM DAS VISITS HH BRAHMARSHI DEVRAHA BABA
SARKAR
Once a young Australian named Gary Von Dirmir arrived in India. After travelling
throughout India he returned to his country Australia. After a few years he again arrived in
India via ship. On the ship he thought to himself that if his name became Ramdas how nice it
would be. Of course this was no ordinary mundane thinking on his part. In fact it was a very
101/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
piously intense thought which was giving an inkling of the inner transformation in the soul of
the young Australian named Gary Von Dirmir. This time while travelling throughout India,
when this youth reached the pilgrim spot Vrindavan, he got to hear about HH Brahmarshi
Devraha Baba. Thus accompanied by 3 friends he went to have HH Brahmarshi Devraha
Baba’s sacred Darshan. The moment they reached near HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba the
latter immediately asked Gary Von Dirmir to come forward and then said: Child! I am
naming you Ramdas and henceforth in India you shall be known by this very name. Amongst
Ramdas’s friends were one youth and 2 young ladies and they too were rechristened
Shyamdas, Shyamdasi and Ramdasi respectively by HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba. Ramdas
on attaining this name heartily yearned for by him was full of joy. Getting positively
influenced by HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba’s omniscient nature (Trikaldarshi i.e. knowing
anyone’s past-present-future) he and his friends after getting sacredly initiated into a GuruMantra accepted discipleship of HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba. Similarly via hundreds and
thousands of daily social tasks executed and from conversations it appeared that via HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba as a medium the visiting devotees were face to face with our
beloved divine father-Almighty God and thus they were actually talking to God himself. HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba never paid any attention to people’s skins but in fact with a mere
divine glance of a split of a second he would know with crystal clarity the devotee’s past,
present and future events to take place. Thus based on this he would behave accordingly with
his devotees. His behavior would influence just about everyone who came to him. Great
saints love those who are innocent and meek in heart so much that despite the devotee not
possessing 100% spiritual credentials or desired Patrata even in a semi conscious state of
dreams appear in it and bestow great divine knowledge. Lest these super great saints fail to
bestow well being on the world then the world will always remain demeaned.
CHAPTER 37
HH MAHAYOGI DEVRAHA BABA SARKAR AIDS IN MRS. TAMILSON GETTING
LIBERATED FROM EVIL SPIRIT ATTACKS IN HER PSYCHE
In 1962 on 2nd March was residing on a loft on the River Ganga shores opposite Jhusi in
Prayagraj. The winter was now bidding adieu. The time was evening about 7 pm. HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba felt natural light only was the best. Hence he disallowed
electricity fittings near his loft. At that very time Mrs. Edna Pyatrika Tamilson carrying with
102/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
her a letter written by an ex judge of Kolkata city reached HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba’s
loft. On noting her white skin color, language spoken etc it was clear that she was a foreign
national and this was communicated to HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba. At that time a great
devotee Mr. Neelmani Mitra whom HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba would affectionately call
Neelam Bhakt was also present there. After reading the letter Neelam Bhakt told HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba: A lady has come for divine Darshan and she is a foreign national.
HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba said: Child! Please ask this mother what she desires and why
has she come here? Neelam Bhakt was acting as an interpreter. After asking the lady he told
HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba that this lady has brought with her a letter written by your
devotee Prashant Bihari Mukhopadhyay an ex judge. This lady is being attacked by terrible
evil spirits for the past 4 years. No type of solution is helping her ward off these evil spirits.
Despite undergoing healing as per availability of various methods no benefit is in sight. She
has been advised that only great revered saints of India can help her ward off these terrible
evil spirit attacks on a permanent footing. Yet she does not know of any such great saint. She
had previously visited the renowned magician PC Sorcar yet he had left for Japan just a week
before she arrived there. As luck would have it was her good fortune that she met this ex
judge devotee of yours and he after giving her this letter inspired her to have your hallowed
Darshan. This entire speech by Neelam Bhakt was heard by HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba
seated in the hut built on the loft where he dwelled. Neelam Bhakt and Mrs. Edna Pyatrika
Tamilson were standing below the loft at its base. After hearing everything HH Brahmarshi
Devraha Baba came out of the hut and said: Tell Mother to have my Darshan. Neelam Bhakt
pointed the torch in HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba’s direction and asked Mrs. Edna Pyatrika
Tamilson to have his divine Darshan. She was so influenced on having this divine Darshan
that she devotedly felt as though in HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba she had actually witnessed
the form of great Rishis mentioned in ancient Indian scriptures like Vedas, Upanishads etc.
She was just dumbstruck on seeing the wondrous, self sacrificing, mentally detached,
dispassionate and divinely powerful form of HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba. She accepted
that till that day she had never before seen such a divinely ecstatic form of a great saint or
Yogi. HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba sat outside the hut on his loft and said: Is anyone in
your house ‘playing’ with evil spirits and ghosts? Mrs. Edna Pyatrika Tamilson replied: Yes!
My mother calls ghosts. HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba again said: Your relationship with
your mother is quite bad. She replied: Yes! My mother just does not like me. She looks upon
me as her arch enemy. HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba again said: You have married because
you actually desired to. She replied: Yes! My mother wanted me to marry a youth chosen by
her but instead of agreeing to this I married someone whom I liked a lot. Hence she behaves
like an enemy with me. HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba said: To the north of your house there
is a lake where your mother does black magic and it is she who has sent an evil spirit after
you. Tell your mother to stop this black magic activity and only then she shall attain true well
being.
103/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Mrs. Edna Pyatrika Tamilson on hearing this truth from HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba was
very amazed. No doubt she agreed that to the north of her house was a lake and that on its
shore her mother would carry out such vile tasks. HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba said: OK
child Neelmani! Tell this lady that I am liberating this ghost from its ghost form. Thus both
this lady and the liberated ghost shall become happy.
On hearing this talk about the ghost’s liberation from Neelmani Bhakt (interpreter devotee)
Mrs. Edna Pyatrika Tamilson objected and said: O my Lord! You must give this ghost the
harshest punishment under the sun. This ghost is harassing and terrorizing me for the past 4
years. When I was coming to you this ghost clearly told me: I cannot accompany you where
you are going and hence go there without me. But when you return, I shall again meet you.
HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba smilingly said: Child Neelmani! Do tell this mother to go to
her place without any worry and ask her to go and have my Darshan again tomorrow. Mrs.
Edna Pyatrika Tamilson as advised left and returned again the very next day. Her face danced
with joy. HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba on hearing about her arrival came out of his hut and
then made this lady execute a special type of meditation. On doing this she attained special
inner peace. HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba initiated her into a Shakt Mantra and instructed
her to chant it 108 times after bathing daily. After this he gave her his very rare to attain
divine blessings. Due to his blessings Mrs. Edna Pyatrika Tamilson not only got freed from
her troubles and worries but that the ghost who terrorized her got liberated from its vile dirty
body.
Such then was HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba who gave divine blessings without any reason
as such and this he did out of sheer selfless compassion and untold selfless love for his
devotees. Not only would he kindly bless those on whom his sacred glance fell but that he
would also bestow well being on such people who had never contacted or had any
relationship with HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba.

AN INCIDENT WITH REFERENCE TO THE FIRST GURU OF SIKHS-HH GURU
NANAKDEVJI
Once, devotee Buta Singhji had come to have Darshan of HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba.
During their conversation HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba explained in a very straightforward
and easy the deep profound truths of the Sikh Religion’s sacred scripture called Guru Granth
104/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Sahib. He also threw more light related to Guru Granth Sahib. In this very sequence HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba also spoke about the 1st Guru of the Sikh Religion-HH Guru
Nanakdevji.
HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba said: Child! One day HH Guru Nanakdevji while on a
pilgrimage reached the holy city of Banaras. There he stopped for a few days on the banks of
River Ganga. Saint Kabirdasji too would come there daily to bathe in the River Ganga. In the
early morning it was here that he met HH Guru Nanakdevji. Both these revered saints
embraced each other in divine ecstasy and conversed a lot on spiritual truths. Devotee Buta
Singhji in between would reverently say ‘yes sir’ while hearing HH Brahmarshi Devraha
Baba speaking thus. HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba who was very much in divine trance or
Samadhi with unmoving eyes akin to a stone kept speaking as though he was in a totally
different divine world. From his sacred divine lips flowed the nectarine speech pertaining to
Almighty God. HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba was giving details about the holy conversation
between the 2 great saints viz. Saint Kabirdasji and HH Guru Nanakdevji. HH Brahmarshi
Devraha Baba also described what type of clothes was worn by these 2 revered saints.
Suddenly devotee Buta Singhji asked: Revered Baba! Where were you at that time? HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba said: Child! I too was sitting there at that time near a lit pyre on
the banks of River Ganga where these 2 saints met each other.
But after saying this much it appeared as though HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba’s trance like
state got broken and returned to normal divine awareness and consciousness. Me, Bade
Maharaj, Buta Singhji and a couple of other people were drinking these divine nectarine
words of HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba in the afternoon time period. Now devotee Buta
Singhji tried his best to induce HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba to talk again about this
incidence of Saint Kabirdasji and HH Guru Nanakdevji yet Revered Baba would again and
again sidestep this issue. He refused to talk any more about this incident. HH Brahmarshi
Devraha Baba said: Child! This Buta Singh is a devotee. Give him Prasad. You are a devotee
soul child. My unlimited compassion and kindness flows on you. I now command you to
return straight to New Delhi. My grace is on you. Child! Your soul is that of a devotee.
CHAPTER 39
HH BRAHMARSHI DEVRAHA BABA’S DEVOTEE-PANCHAM LAL
In Azamgadh district’s Lalganj area is a cloth shop belonging to devotee Pancham Lal. His
cloth business was reaping good profits. His household life needs lacked nothing. He is an
unswerving disciple and devotee of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar.
105/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Many years back once devotee Pancham Lal’s health deteriorated quite badly and curing it
became virtually impossible. Even expert doctors could not pinpoint exactly what was the
problem. After this when he traveled to big cities it was found that devotee Pancham Lal had
cancer. Around the year 1980 AD cancer, very much like the horrific disease AIDS was
looked upon as incurable and deadly in nature. The doctors did promise that they would try
their utmost best to heal him. It is quite possible that your health may stabilize. Hence you
must take medical therapy for a few days and regularly take proper meals and prescribed diet.
When despite undergoing treatment at many renowned places no cure was in sight devotee
Pancham Lal was admitted to the Tata Institute of Cancer. Even there after a few days of
treatment he was told that cancer cells passing by your food pipe are spreading speedily to
your lungs, a small area of your neck and left side of your face. This cancer of yours is in the
final last stage, as a result of which either for 3 or maximum 6 months can you remain alive.
Lest you had tried getting cured of this cancer in its very 1st stage it would have been fairly
easy to cure it.
Deep within devotee Pancham Lal on seeing his imminent death due this throat cancer was
very stressed out and worried. For so many years he was devouring dozens of capsules and
pills at least 3 times a day. Thus he was very tired of all this. When he saw nothing but defeat
staring at him from all directions he in sheer despair reached the hallowed lotus feet of HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar. Just about everyone in Azamgadh knew about the divine
greatness of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar. Thus it was not as though devotee
Pancham Lal was totally unaware of the divine sports and miraculous feats of HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba Sarkar. When devotee Pancham Lal had HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
Sarkar’s sacred Darshan realizing that his disease was a killer one started crying aloud with
hiccups and then prayed to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar to protect him from this life
devouring cancer disease. After he cried a lot and felt as though a big burden had lifted from
his heart after opening his sorrowful heart to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar the latter
said: Child! My heart flows with compassion for you. I give you my blessings and hence do
par take medicines administered by your attending doctors. Devotee Pancham Lal said:
Revered Sir! I am very harassed devouring so many medicines prescribed by my doctors
since no cure is in sight. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar said: Child! My compassionate
blessings are on you. Now henceforth when you shall take medicines subtly from within
them my divinely powerful grace shall be at work. Suppose I cure you merely by my divine
glance or divine touch people will think that HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar is
performing miracles and hence in future I shall have to ceaselessly do this only. Hence do not
stop taking medicines. You must think that I am healing you via medicines. Thus your
disease shall get cured and people will not think I have done a miracle. Else huge mobs of
people aspiring for miracles from me shall harass me day in and day out. Thus you have now
understood the deep import of what I have said. I give you my blessings that now your cancer
disease shall not spread any further. Then after he was given Prasad HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba Sarkar bid his devotee adieu. Devotee Pancham Lal implicitly followed HH Mahayogi
106/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Devraha Baba Sarkar’s divine command and thus started taking medicines prescribed by his
doctors regularly that previously failed to cure him. Thus it was just dumbfounding that after
taking medicines merely for 15 days devotee Pancham Lal got benefitted a lot. When these
very medicines taken for the past 5 years or so did not help cure him at all today was proving
wonderfully beneficial. After this he did not have to take any more medicines. Those very
doctors who had previously declared that devotee Pancham Lal would not live longer than 6
months maximum were just mind boggled to see him cured of cancer.
When a plastic bottle is placed near fire it starts melting and loses its shape of a bottle from
the side facing fire. Yet that back side of the bottle not facing fire retains its bottle shape.
Similarly due to the ghastly effect of cancer the left side of his face became badly distorted
but his right side of the face is totally unharmed even today. Since he had deep faith at the
divine feet of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar till today devotee Pancham Lal definitely
comes to Revered Baba’s Samadhi or tombstone at least twice a year so as to prostrate with
deep devotion. He has deep faith in HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar. By conjoining to
such a Divine Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar man truly becomes self glorified.
CHAPTER 40
A LILA OR DIVINE SPORT OF HH BRAHMARSHI MAHAYOGI DEVRAHA BABA
Today on 12th December 1999 AD Sunday along with 2 close friends of mine went to
Vrindavan for some important work. But as I knew from beforehand itself that my Revered
Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar had chosen the sacred banks of River Yamuna in
107/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Vrindavan to shed his mortal coil for attaining Mahanirvana where today a glorious
tombstone has been built in his sacred memory. Over here both in the morning and evening
along with the sweet holy music of conch, drums, bells etc accompanied by a sacred Arti
authored by Shri Bade Maharaj the supreme divine bliss of pours on all when Revered
Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar’s tombstone is worshiped devotedly. On reaching
Vrindavan my soul was restlessly yearning to have Darshan of Revered Gurudeva HH
Devraha Baba Sarkar’s tombstone in such a way that it could be compared to a fish writhing
on land yearning to get into the sea water.
After coming out of Vrindavan for having the holy Darshan of River Yamunaji there at the
other end of the river we saw a snow white brilliant memorial which on its own is divine. I
just do not recollect whether so far in my entire lifetime in such surroundings of silence such
a wondrous shaped temple or memorial was ever seen by me. Over here when I arrived I felt
that this memorial was divine and that the lush greenery here too is quite radiantly beautiful.
Trees, plants etc appeared to be dancing and frolicking happily. After walking for 3/4th km a
boatman on the river bank helped us cross to the other bank in 5 minutes and now we are
standing in the hermitage. On coming here we got to meet Chote Maharajji. He asked us to
1st bow down to Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar’s tombstone and then we
conversed a bit with him. He by satisfying very affectionately our curiosity gave us details
regarding Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar’s tombstone and memorial. With
reference to this I gave details of an incident I had undergone. About 29 years previously in
1970 AD when Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar had spiritually initiated me I
was at that time associated with Indrapuri (Deri On Son). In the quarter next to mine an
official of the irrigation department was residing. His lone 5 year old son was attacked by
diarrhea and while doctors were treating him they clearly said that this child would not live
long. This official at that time was far away from home since he had gone on a tour. But as
luck would have it he reached home in time. Everyone at home was crying in grief. Since we
were his neighbors we went there and were helpless silent witnesses. This official who was a
disciple of Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar would often visit him for sacred
Darshan. He took some Prasad given by Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar and
mixed it in water. He put this water in his son’s mouth and we were all witnesses to the fact
that slowly his son opened his eyes and regained normalcy. Within an hour the child got up
and sat on the bed. After 3 hours he regained so much strength that he started walking.
Although his body was weak yet his face bloomed with joy and thus it was clear that apart
from physical tiredness he was quite fine overall.
This incident truly influenced me a lot. I asked my neighbor as to who exactly was Revered
Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar and where did he live? I had already witnessed with my
own eyes the wondrous divine power in the Prasad given by him. In front of the divine
energy of great saints, modern science and doctors pale miserably. It is only due to the divine
potency of Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar’s Prasad that your son got a new
108/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
lease of life. This official who was a very good neighbor was also my friend. He kindly gave
me a book on Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar to read and said: By reading this
holy book you shall get a bit of information regarding him. I did read this book and in it
many incidences of how Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar had blessed many
people to ward off their problems etc were mentioned. Amongst these blessings of his
include Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru becoming PM of India. The 1st CM of Bihar Dr Krishna
Singh getting many spiritual experiences related to Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar. I
read all this and I tore a photo from this book. I framed this photo and daily started doing
Puja or worship of it with reverence. I felt that his hallowed feet in the photo were so
divinely attracting that my head would bow down automatically with devotion. I had met so
many great ascetics and saints so far in life but mentally I had imagined getting spiritually
initiated (Deeksha) from such a saint who in the true sense of the term can be called a
supremely great saint of India. By itself I had read many biographies of revered saints yet
within I had secretly harbored a sacred wish of getting spiritually initiated (Deeksha) from
such a saint or Yogi who would be of a divinely stupendous stature of past times like Kabir,
Nanak, Surdas, Adi Guru Shankaracharya etc. I humbly yearned to get spiritually initiated
(Deeksha) from a true ascetic who stayed miles away from worldliness, materialistic greed
and sense titillation. Till today I had not found such a saint. But now my mind harbored a
pious wish to have Darshan of Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar. Accompanied
by a few friends I set off to have Darshan of Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar
seated on his loft on the River Saryu shores in the area called Devariya Lar Road.
Taking a train from Deri On Son we all desired to reach Devariya district. A bit of a delay
took place while making preparations for the journey. Half an hour before the train’s
departure time we were yet at home making preparations. Thus I was thinking of cancelling
setting off that day and instead journey on the next day. A friend of mine in our group said a
bit sarcastically: Since you are so much in a rush to have Darshan of Revered Gurudeva HH
Devraha Baba Sarkar can he not delay this train’s departure so that today itself you can start
your journey? This was without doubt a very challenging mocking tone of his. This sarcasm
pierced like a sharp thorn into my faith. Without giving any reply I continued packing my
bags. And very shortly we left our house for the station. The scheduled time for the train’s
departure had already lapsed. Despite this we continued to move towards the station. The
idea was that we would take some other train and mid way change trains so as to reach
Devariya. I do not know whether to call this Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar’s
grace or some chance. This is because when we reached the railway station we all came to
know that the train we were to travel in for some reason had delayed its departure time. After
buying our tickets when we reached the platform this train arrived in 5 minutes right in front
of our group.
Today with firm faith I can say that the above incident was certainly no coincidence or some
freak chance but that it was sheer compassionate grace of Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha
109/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Baba Sarkar. This is because he would off and on say: Child! When anyone leaves home for
my Darshan from there itself I make all suitable arrangements for them. We all commenced
our journey from that very train and during the journey I removed the thorn in my faith by
saying to my previously sarcastic friend: Have you realized a bit about Revered Gurudeva
HH Devraha Baba Sarkar’s grace? Your suggestion was accepted by him for my sake out of
sheer grace.
I was aware that in those days Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar did not easily
bestow spiritual initiation on anyone. Hence every day I would fervently pray to my beloved
deities Goddess Durga and Kashi Vishwanath Mahadeva that due to their blessings Revered
Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar would give me spiritual initiation. When I reached Lar
Road station where we were to get down we all were fast asleep. I felt as though someone is
very lovingly waking me up by saying: Child! Get up. You have to get down at this station.
My eyes opened. The train was yet on this station’s platform since it had not departed. In
actuality we had to get down here only. I woke up my friends and very quickly we gathered
our luggage and got down from the train. This definitely was amazing that the train was yet
waiting at this station. I asked the ticket checker: This train never stops at this station then
how is it that it did so today? The ticket checker said: In front of this train at a certain
distance a luggage train was parked and hence we perforce had to stop this train at this
station. I truly felt that as though subtly and invisibly all this was being done by Revered
Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar. While mentally mulling over what had happened along
with my friends I reached the River Saryu banks. Everyone bathed there and then we reached
the loft of Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar so as to have his sacred Darshan.
Another amazing thing was that there was a huge crowd of about 15,000 devotees waiting for
his sacred Darshan. Everyone was being encouraged to do Ram-Ram chanting or Sankirtan.
We were standing behind this huge crowd for about 15 minutes. I was not much happy with
this Ram-Ram chanting or Sankirtan. My mind was very restless with only one thought as to
how Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar would initiate me as his disciple. This
seemed impossible at that moment since it was very difficult even to reach his presence in
this teeming crowd of devotees. Standing there with a mind full of despair and hopelessness I
was thinking thus. But in a short while a saint came to me asking whether from Indrapuri a
Tarak devotee has arrived or not. This is because Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba
Sarkar is calling this devotee to him. I immediately replied: My name is Taraknath Sharma. I
was simply dumbstruck. This saint led me to Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar’s
loft. On reaching there he spoke from above in his loft: You tore my photo from a book and
offered worship-Puja to it. You prayed to Goddess Durga and thus troubled her. You also
gave trouble to Lord Kashi Vishwanath. Today I shall spiritually initiate you i.e. give you
Deeksha. On hearing this every pore of my body experienced blissful ecstasy. My eyes shed
tears of gratefulness. Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar said: You are a
vegetarian. You do not eat even onions and garlic and I know it fully well. He asked me to
stand there for 15 minutes and then said: Such and such a person, also is mentally yearning to
110/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
get spiritual initiation from me and he is coming to me. Hence you must wait for some time.
As soon as he arrives I shall spiritually initiate both of you together. In about 15 minutes that
devotee arrived and he as promised spiritually initiated both of us.
Out of curiosity combined with ignorance I said: Revered Gurudeva! Although you have
completed the spiritual initiation how shall I immerse myself in meditation? Revered
Gurudeva looked in my direction and after separating the petals of a flower threw them on
me. Thus for 1 hour 25 minutes I stood very silently like that without moving. I had lost all
external awareness as to where I am standing, why I am standing there, for how long I was
standing there and for what reason I was doing so. Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba
Sarkar asked: Have you finished meditating child? I told him that I was asleep while standing
there. While standing thus with eyes closed I saw all pilgrim spots, temples etc that I had
previously visited. It was as though I was in a dream state. Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha
Baba Sarkar said: Child! You are capable of doing only this much meditation as of now.
Continue this meditation practice because this is the 1st step of meditation.
After getting Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar’s permission when I was returning
my friends told me that I was standing silently for 1 hour 25 minutes continuously without
moving even a wee bit and without uttering a single word. I did not give my friends any
answer. After this I would go off and on for Revered Gurudeva HH Devraha Baba Sarkar’s
holy Darshan. In those days I was working as Bokaro industrial authority for Bihar Drugs
and Chemical Corporation. But as of today I reside in Patna which is Bihar’s capital city.
A DEVOTEE OF HH GURUDEVA DEVRAHA BABA
………..TARAK NATH SHARMA
CHAPTER 41
REVERED MAHAYOGI DEVRAHA BABA SARKAR WOULD TALK AFTER
VISUALIZING THE FUTURE PROPHETICALLY
111/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba would never dwell in one place only. He would dwell in
different regions like in Devariya district on River Saryu shores, Assi Ghat in Banaras, for
Magh Mela in Prayagraj, River Ganga banks in Bihar, River Yamuna banks in Vrindavan,
Neeldhara in Haridwar and in Dehradun on the edge of a small mountain in Raipur.
From Raipur in Dehradun he would again start residing on River Saryu shores. In every place
he would reside for anything between 10 days to about 2 months. What we are now going to
describe is that which took place in the year 1978-79 AD. Around the Holi Festival HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba was in Shri Vrindavandham. Hundreds and thousands of volunteer
devotees of his would be appointed to serve him each year for such occasions and HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba as per each one’s spiritual credentials or Patrata would honor, give
Prasad, scold, give Darshan or spiritual teachings. Amongst these staunch devotees was one
called Hubbi wrestler. He was a resident of Mot district situated about 5 km from HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba’s loft (he is yet alive). In those days he would regularly come to
serve HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba, have his holy Darshan etc. Since Hubbi devotee was a
wrestler his nature was a bit wrathful. Despite this he would carry out HH Brahmarshi
Devraha Baba’s orders to the last letter with deep devotion.
One day a saint right in Hubbi devotee’s presence complained to HH Brahmarshi Devraha
Baba about Hubbi. The saint complained that Hubbi was known to carry with him a sword,
axe, knife etc. Thus HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba commanded: Child! Apart from a wooden
stick do not carry with you anything else. You regularly come for my Darshan. Thus if you
call yourself my devotee it is not correct that you to carry swords etc with you. My blessings
are with you and hence why fear anything? I command you my child, do not keep such sharp
weapons with you. Devotee Hubbi wrestler after agreeing to do so actually executed HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba’s commanded and from that day onwards he stopped keeping with
him sword, axe, knife etc. Now he actually experienced HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba’s
omnipotent grace that was protecting him. After a few days, someone pierced a knife into the
body of Hubbi wrestler’s son. Immediately the child was given medical treatment. HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba at that time was residing on River Yamuna’s banks. Next day
devotee Hubbi wrestler with tears in his eyes spoke to HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba in a
complaining tone: Revered Sir! Lest you had not commanded me to stop using sword, axe,
knife etc this incident would not have occurred. He had already given details of this knife
attack to HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba. The latter too had affectionately enquired about
Hubbi wrestler’s son’s health. But now on hearing this complaint of Hubbi wrestler HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba said: Child! You are a very wrathful person. You must go home
now and do Ram-Ram Japa or chanting. The person who has unjustly attacked your son shall
himself get burnt to ashes due to his sins. Do not hence grieve thus. You must just continue
chanting Ram-Ram. My compassionate grace is always with you.
Devotee Hubbi wrestler on hearing these wise words of revered Gurudeva controlled his
sorrowful mind and returned home. After a few days HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba also left
112/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
his loft on River Yamuna’s banks and headed towards Neeldhara in Haridwar. At this end in
a few days the person who had attacked Hubbi wrestler’s son with a knife was himself
attacked with a bullet and he thus died on the spot.
Respected readers must remember that lest HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba had refrained from
stopping devotee Hubbi wrestler using sword, axe, knife etc he would have ferociously
counter attacked person who had attacked his son in a fit of anger. Yet since HH Brahmarshi
Devraha Baba had commanded Hubbi not to use any of these weapons the possibility of him
attacking his son’s attacker was warded off.
Thus due to HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba’s grace this incident died down peacefully and
ere he had not commanded Hubbi thus God alone knows what a big problem would have
cropped up. Hence this episode proves how omniscient and powerful was the grace of HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba. In reality he was a Trikaldarshi i.e. one who knows the past,
present and future of just about anyone and everyone. In fact we can call him the divine
father of all true detached and inwardly dispassionate saints. In reality he is the Saint
amongst all saints.
Even today about 3-4 times each month devotee Hubbi wrestler definitely comes to HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba’s tombstone and memorial to devotedly bow down. At this
moment his devotional love for the hallowed feet of HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba is much
firmer and steadfast than that seen in the past.
CHAPTER 42
HH MAHAYOGI SHRI DEVRAHA BABA BLESSES THE THEN MINISTER FOR
AGRICULTURE-BABU JAGJIVAN RAM WHO HAD PRAYED FOR IT
113/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
On 6th July 1986 AD Babu Jagjivan Ram (minister for agriculture) had passed away in New
Delhi. He would occasionally go to have HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba’s Darshan. Once
when Babu Jagjivan Ram was the minister for agriculture a terrible famine manifested. There
was not even a drop of rainfall. Due to lack of water there was chaos and utter despair all
around. Since the underground water levels receded far below boring wells too stopped
giving any water. Under such circumstances, Babu Jagjivan Ram (minister for agriculture)
remembered HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba. The minister thought to himself that if he prayed
devotedly to HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba definitely the latter would usher in enough
rainfall.
Hence while on a govt. official tour he also came for HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba’s
Darshan and said: Revered Sir! What a misfortune has engulfed us. I am the minister for
agriculture yet all around there is a terrible famine. The entire Indian public is harassed by it.
Since I am your devotee I pray to such a divinely powerful saint as you that by blessing us all
with good rainfall this terrible famine too shall be overcome. HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba
said: Child! This famine is the result of wrath spewed by demigods. These demigods are not
at all satisfied by our countrymen. The chief cause of their discontent is cutting up cows for
eating their flesh and thus inflicting untold agony on them. India’s govt. instead of paying
heed to this minutely is instead harming immensely our country’s main religion, entire
Sanatan Hindu culture and world humanity also. In our country in virtually every home
unrighteous acts and behavior rule the roost. It is hence that no rains are pouring down. But
yet child! Seeing the hardship of our public due to this famine and also your fervent prayer I
shall definitely bless you all. Then he asked a disciple to tie 1 bowl full of sand in a cloth and
hand it over to Babu Jagjivan Ram (minister for agriculture). The latter thought that this sand
was a heavy burden. Yet he stood there carrying it in his hands. In order to take this burden
of sand from the minister one of the latter’s clerk came forward. But HH Brahmarshi
Devraha Baba stopped this clerk from doing so and instead said: Child! This person is a
minister and you are his clerk. Do not take his burden because his burden suits him only. If
he cannot pick up this much burden then how shall he as a minister make farmers of this land
do agriculture?
Babu Jagjivan Ram (minister for agriculture) stood there with tears welling in his eyes. It was
like an obedient child standing in front of his father who via harsh speech was disciplining it.
Then again HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba spoke with a smile: Child! This is devotee Babu
Jagjivan Ram. He said: Yes Sir! My heartfelt kindness flows on you. I command God Indra
who gives rains that despite his wrath he must joyously allow rain to fall on your land else no
well being can be accrued by all of you. All of you group of ministers must delve deep into
what I have said.
Lest you wish to ward off India’s poverty, if you yearn to imbue it with wealth, food, trees,
gardens and above all a sense of soul oneness and goodwill the only solution is to urge every
Indian be it a Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian etc they must protect cows and serve them
114/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
lovingly. By doing this everyone shall attain wealth and the taint of poverty shall get
destroyed. My blessings flow on all.
After giving such mysterious teachings HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba gave consent to Babu
Jagjivan Ram to leave. He after bowing down to HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba with a lot of
faith returned home via a car. By the time he reached home clouds started thundering in the
sky and in a jiffy it started pouring cats and dogs. It was astounding that the rain witnessed at
this time had fallen virtually all over India. This then was HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba’s
divine grace. This was his divine authority. Even the king of the 3 worlds God Indra had to
listen to his orders. He was such an extraordinary powerful saint that by conjoining to him
honorable titles bestowed on everyone got glorified.
CHAPTER 43
KING AMONG DEVOTEES SHRI BUTA SINGH
115/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Devotee Buta Singhji was known to come for HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s Darshan quite
often. Revered Baba would shower on him his blessings. He would hear sacred teachings
from HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba and while conversing, Buta Singhji would use respectful
terms like ‘yes sir’ etc. They would talk on many subjects. Sometimes the topic discussed
would be spiritual and sometimes social. No doubt politics too may have been discussed but I
am not aware of it. Despite HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s command when Rajiv Gandhi did
not go to lay the foundation stone for a Lord Ram temple in Ayodhya the latter sent Buta
Singhji to Revered Baba. After again having the sacred Darshan of Revered Baba Buta
Singhji set off for Ayodhya. Once when he was at his residence and the phone bell rang, Buta
Singhji himself picked up the receiver and clearly heard HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s
voice. When Buta Singhji said ‘hello’ from the other end he heard the voice: Child! Take a
paper and pen. You have to write a message with it. Devotee Buta Singhji with paper and pen
ready asked ‘may I know who you are’? No doubt he clearly heard HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba’s voice in the telephone and hence from the other end he heard ‘I am Devraha Baba
speaking’. Devotee Buta Singhji was stunned because no phone has ever been kept by HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba with himself and forget a telephone over there no light, fan etc can
be found there. Devotee Buta Singhji asked: Revered Baba! From where are you speaking?
As an answer HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! I am speaking from my loft. Devotee
Buta Singhji was dumbstruck. Even so he was ready to start writing the message which HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba started dictating in the phone.
Since Buta Singhji had been educated in the Urdu language medium, hence he started writing
the dictated message in Urdu. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! You must write in
your own language. He told Revered Baba that he could not write in Hindi language. He was
so flabbergasted that the hand holding the telephone was shaking. Devotee Buta Singhji was
thinking as to how Revered Baba knew that he was writing in Urdu language. Is Revered
Baba using the phone to speak or see him directly? When Buta Singhji said that he could not
write in Hindi language HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! At least you know
Gurumukhi script. After saying ‘yes sir’ he started writing in Gurumukhi script. After
making him write the required message Revered Baba gave his blessings on the phone itself
and asked Buta Singhji to arrive on time for his Darshan.
When devotee Buta Singhji arrived at Revered Baba’s hermitage during a conversation when
he asked HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba about the telephone incident the latter replied: Child!
From my loft here itself I can send a message at any time, via any medium, to just about
anyone and just about any type of message. For this end I do not have to make any effort.
Later when we saw the hermitage was bereft of any crowding and thus when HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba was seated outside the hut on his loft all alone we asked him regarding the
above episode: Revered Sir! Is this a particular type of science that due to mere will and
desire one can contact just about anyone? HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! This is
the potent divine power of Mudra Yoga.

CHAPTER 44
HH BRAHMARSHI MAHAYOGI DEVRAHA BABA SARKAR GIVING THE SYMBOL
OF ‘HAND’ TO MRS. INDIRA GANDHI’S POLITICAL PARTY
In India in the year 1977-78 an emergency was imposed by the then ruling government. At
that very time the campaign for cow protection held in New Delhi was crushed heartlessly.
Behind this activity it was Sanjay Gandhi who was mainly responsible. At that time,
forcefully vasectomy was being carried out, on all and sundry. The more any govt. officer
helped carry out vasectomy even if it meant by force he would be elevated to a higher post or
else some other type of financial etc carrot was dangled that would benefit them immensely.
Thus these govt. officers were aiding in more and more vasectomies. In comparison to metro
cities these vasectomies were carried out in much higher numbers in pilgrim spots. This is
because in pilgrim spots one could find beggars and ascetics/mendicants that from the social
standpoint had no outside help to protect them from such forced vasectomies. Thus govt.
officials preyed on these helpless people out of sheer greed for more money in the final
analysis. Since in haste vasectomies were being done in erroneous ways many died due to
septicemia and infection. The result of this was that everyone hurled curses on Sanjay
Gandhi who ultimately died in an air crash. Further the curses of India’s helpless, poor,
sorrowful, begging mendicants and all those who were harassed a lot India’s most renowned
PM Mrs. Indira Gandhi lost in the election following these incidences. Another reason for
this was also that saints and ascetics would gather in pilgrim spots. From there they would
travel to villages, towns, cities etc via the medium of god devotion, singing holy hymns,
giving teachings of pious behavior etc ceaselessly traveled all over India with this mission.
These very angered saints and ascetics gathered in religious discourses saying to all devotees
that PM Mrs. Indira Gandhi is not a good person.
Majority of the Indian public firmly opined that PM Mrs. Indira Gandhi is not a good person.
Saints and ascetics more or less are well versed with the Vedic scriptures. Thus using many
types of logical arguments they tried proving that PM Mrs. Indira Gandhi is a very despicable
person. They also argued that since she was a widow India hence in her reign experienced
this kind of a downfall. Thus in totality, people disrespected her and had just no sympathy for
her at all. Later Mrs. Indira Gandhi accepted that this was the reason why she lost elections.
Her political party worked hard to campaign for her yet they got nothing but despair in return
for their efforts because the mind of the Indian public had changed a great deal. After
witnessing nothing but hopelessness in all directions much later Mrs. Indira Gandhi with just
one ray of hope reached HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba for sacred Darshan. As soon as she
arrived HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba greeted her kindly. He said: Come daughter Indira! Tell
me what is the news? You are an image of love. My unlimited kindness and grace flows on
you. Mrs. Indira Gandhi said: Revered Baba! You always call me child Indira. Today your
118/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
child Indira comes to devotedly rest at your hallowed feet having experienced nothing but
despair everywhere. Please do bless me. Revered Baba! I wish to serve our country India yet
this is possible only if I regain political power. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Daughter!
It is possible to serve India only if cows are served selflessly. It means who is India’s
mother? It is but the cow. It is the cow who is India’s mother. If you respect cows you are
actually respecting entire India and if cows are in trouble entire India shall face nothing but
trouble. India’s most important and live identity is the cow. Lest you wish to ward off India’s
poverty, sorrow and all types of hazards it can be done only by pleasing cows via serving and
protecting them with selfless love.
Lest India wishes to reach pinnacles of financial and economic glory, lest it wishes to
reinstate ethical and spiritual values it shall be possible only by pleasing our cow mother via
selfless devoted service to it. It means daughter Indira! You are yearning to serve our country
hence if you make a powerful resolve of serving and protecting cows I shall definitely give
you my rare and very powerful blessings.
You are a very devoted lady. My infinite compassion flows on you. Mrs. Indira Gandhi said:
Revered Baba! With body, mind and speech I shall try my best to serve and protect cows all
over India. Whatever is in my capacity I shall definitely try my best to put it into action.
Please do give me energy to carry out great sacred tasks because only great divine saints as
your revered self can bestow on us devotees sacred inspiration and divine power. Please do
command me and thus whatever is in my capacity I shall definitely try my best to put it into
action.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Daughter! I give you my divine grace wherein you shall
definitely get one more opportunity to serve India. Yet you must deeply focus your attention
on serving and protecting cows. Mrs. Indira Gandhi said: Revered Baba! Before India
attained freedom you had given my father Pandit Nehru the party symbol of a cow and calf.
Hence I implore you to give me too a party symbol. I feel the need to get it from you. HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Daughter! I give you my blessings that forever my hand shall
dwell with you as a protective armor.
Mrs. Indira Gandhi requested HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba to allow her to use his divine
hand as her political party’s symbol. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Daughter! Lest you
execute tasks of welfare especially with reference to service to cows my hand of blessing is
always with you. It means that whether in India or in any corner of the world if anyone does
service to cows lovingly invisibly my infinite grace shall flow towards them. This shall be
experienced time and again. I have a lady disciple called Anandmayee Ma. She is an image
of divine blissful love. You must go to her place in Haridwar to reside there and also accrue
the benefit of holy bathing in River Ganga there. I am commanding mother Ganga to uproot
all curses and feelings of hatred spewed on you by anguished, helpless and poor saints and
ascetics. Thus you shall again rule over India via my untold kindness and grace. After this
119/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba gave Prasad to Mrs. Indira Gandhi that included sugar candy,
butter, fruits, dry fruits and a black color shawl. Then he said: Daughter! As long as this
black shawl remains with you till then no fearful situation shall be faced by you. Go with my
infinite grace on you.
Mrs. Indira Gandhi devotedly did full length prostration (Sashtang Dandvat Pranam) at HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s divine feet and after seeking his blessings again and again left that
place. After this it is a well known fact that the attitude of entire India towards Mrs. Indira
Gandhi which previously was full of hatred now became such that when she again fought
elections using HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s divine hand as her party’s symbol entire
Indian public voted in favor for her. After becoming PM when Mrs. Indira Gandhi again
came to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba for his blessings and thanking him she said prayerfully:
Revered Baba! I have directly witnessed the great effect of your powerful divine blessings. It
is only your sheer grace that has helped washed off the erroneous attitude of hatred towards
me harbored by the Indian public. The blessings of revered saints of our country are so
divinely potent that when they merely raise their hands in blessings the thinking process of
millions of people gets transformed in a flash which previously I felt was not possible. I
clearly understand now that if you so wish compassionately you can induce a sense of
oneness of soul friendship in the entire world. For you this is just child’s play. Not only India
but that the entire world gets glorified due to the hallowed presence and grace of divinely
great saints and Rishis like your revered self.

CHAPTER 45
HH BRAHMARSHI DEVRAHA BABA SARKAR PROTECTS THE VERY LIFE OF JAI
PRAKASH NARAYANJI
That selfless service done by Jai Prakash Narayan towards the backward class of society in
the true sense of the term is possible only when one gets God’s untold grace flows forth. Else
we all are aware how unscrupulous are today’s political leaders. They in the name of serving
the lay public in reality fill up only their pockets. They are so immersed in fattening their ego
that they just have no time to mull over the fact that they are oppressing their citizens so
despicably. A leader like Jai Prakash Narayan given a lot of recognition and honor
everywhere right till the end of his glorious life lived miles away from greed of political clout
and power. His only goal was to devotedly serve the poor and backward oppressed class of
society in a totally unselfish manner. Today there is a dire need for all political leaders to
read the great sacrosanct life of a leader like Jai Prakash Narayan. Thus they shall realize
what type of character to imbibe and how ethically honestly must they carry out various
activities in life.
When Jai Prakash Narayan was released from jail he was immediately admitted to Mumbai’s
Jaslok Hospital. All doctors of Jaslok Hospital were focusing their attention on him. The
team of doctors there was making all efforts to get him out of the jaws of death. Since Jai
Prakash Narayan was suffering from a very serious kidney ailment and till date there was no
cure for it. Some of his co workers came to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba with the thought
that if the latter so wished Jai Prakash Narayan would live longer. They knew that HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba was a very powerful great saint. Thus if he did give his divine
blessings doubtlessly Jai Prakash Narayan would regain good health. Now at this moment
both doctors and all types of treatment given were showing no sign at all of improvement in
his deteriorating health. Amongst those people who had approached HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba for protecting Jai Prakash Narayan’s life also was included Ramanand Singhji. Since he
was a socialist worker Ramanand Singhji was a very close confidante of Jai Prakash
Narayan. After running away from Hazaribag jail in the task of keeping Jai Prakash Narayan
underground and also helping in his release from Hanuman Nagar jail Ramanand Singhji had
played a major role. Sometimes he would also accompany Jai Prakash Narayan. Many times
Jai Prakash Narayan had gone to Ramanand Singhji’s house in Sitamadhi and due to many
other reasons also Ramanand Singhji’s contact with Jai Prakash Narayan had intensified a
lot.
Since he was one at heart with Jai Prakash Narayan, Ramanand Singhji was very worried
about his great leader’s bad health. Ramanand Singhji came to Banaras to have HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s sacred Darshan and conversed with Revered Baba regarding Jai
Prakash Narayan’s serious health problem. But initially HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said
121/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
that none can reverse what fate has in store for us and after giving Ramanand Singhji some
Prasad asked him to leave. Despite this for many days Ramanand Singhji would come daily
to Revered Baba with the same plea but the latter refused to budge. Thus inwardly Ramanand
Singhji got very upset yet he vowed that he would not stop bothering HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba till he gave his blessings for improvement in Jai Prakash Narayan’s serious health
problem.
One day Ramanand Singhji with a very firm determined vow came to HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba mentally telling himself: Whatever happens today I shall definitely induce HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba to bless Jai Prakash Narayan. After listening to a religious discourse
when he arrived at the holy feet of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba he saw that Bhavanand Jha
(ex chief engineer), Shivcharan Singh (MLA), Rameshwar Paswan (ex minister) and many
other senior in stature personalities had already arrived. That day was round about in
December-January in 1975-76. As soon as he reached there Ramanand Singhji created a
hullaballoo and said: Revered Baba! I shall not allow you to meet or talk to anyone else till
you do not hear me out and make arrangements to protect Jai Prakash Narayan’s life. Thus he
went on talking about everything that was in his mind. When at last he became silent HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: When the oil in a flame lamp gets depleted how can the flame
burn at all? What he meant was that Jai Prakash Narayan’s destined life span had ended.
Ramanand Singhji replied: This flame can definitely burn if more oil is poured into it. He
continued further detailing many other miracles executed by HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba.
Hence if he could execute such miraculous feats could not Revered Baba protect Jai Prakash
Narayan’s life for the entire country’s welfare? Thus he insisted that Revered Baba must
shower his divine blessings. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! You are a very
obstinate person. Tell me who is ready to give a part of his life span in order to protect Jai
Prakash Narayan’s life? Ramanand Singhji replied: I wish to donate my entire life span to
him. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! I do not want you to give your whole life but
just about 5 years. Yet you must note that in these 5 years how so many years Jai Prakash
Narayan remains alive none of your tasks or mind’s desire shall get fulfilled.
Ramanand Singhji gladly agreed to this condition and thus in front of everybody HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! Since I shall be in consultation with the Lord of DeathDharmaraj, you all sit outside for 10 minutes chanting divine hymns. All lay and senior
people present there started chanting divine hymns as per Revered Baba’s command for
protection of Jai Prakash Narayan’s life. For about 10 minutes Revered Baba remained in a
meditative state and then got up to enter his hut on the loft. Later he came out with some
Prasad tied up in cloth. He called everyone near him and after handing over this Prasad tied
up in cloth to Ramanand Singhji he said: Child! Please keep in mind that I have credited 5
years of your life span in Lord of Death-Dharmaraj’s account that shall save Jai Prakash
Narayan’s life. Jai Prakash Narayan must not know about this. Lest he does get a whiff of
this then instead of living life borrowed from you he would prefer to die 100 times more.
122/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
And the moment he becomes dispassionate regarding the life span loaned to him by you that
very moment he shall die.
Along with the Prasad tied up in cloth Revered Baba also gave Ramanand Singhji a bag of
mud which was to be placed under Jai Prakash Narayan’s pillow. He also gave Ramanand
Singhji some myrobalan (Amla) and almonds which were to be immediately eaten by Jai
Prakash Narayan. At any cost this Prasad must be eaten by Jai Prakash Narayan before the
coming Saturday. The moment Ramanand Singhji started leaving with this sacred Prasad and
had walked just 10 steps, HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba called him back by saying: Child! I
feel you shall not be able to reach in time by the side of Jai Prakash Narayan and hence send
this Prasad via someone else. Whomsoever you hand over this errand make him eat this extra
Prasad I am giving you before he leaves. After this, Revered Baba bid him adieu.
Immediately after a few hours Ramanand Singhji was attacked with high fever and thus he
understood clearly why HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba had said that he would not be able to
travel. From Patna he arranged for his friend Narayanji to go to Mumbai and after making his
friend eat the Prasad given by Revered Baba explained everything to him. This is because
Revered Baba had said: Child! I am also giving you more Prasad to be given to the person
who will be going to Jai Prakash Narayan in Mumbai. After eating it when he shall leave he
shall reach unobstructed to Mumbai. Else the god of fate can pose many obstacles in the way
of his travel.
Narayanji had never had HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s Darshan. Since the year 1946 AD he
was very much influenced by the great honorable personality and was a devoted follower of
his. After buying an unreserved ticket he traveled by train from Patna to Mugalserai. There
he changed trains to travel in a Bombay Mail train. In the morning after boarding this
Bombay Mail train, Narayanji was searching for the place someone on asking him his
destination advised him to alight at the next station. Please hence do sit on my seat. When
Narayanji bought a newspaper he read in it that Jai Prakash Narayan’s health was very
delicate. In fact any moment he would breathe his last. On reaching Mumbai Narayanji got
down at Grant Road station and after flagging a cab got down opposite Jaslok Hospital.
When he took out money from his pocket to pay his cab fare the driver refused to take it and
left immediately. Since there was tight security at the hospital entrance Narayanji was not
given permission to carry with him the Prasad tied in a cloth given by HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba for Jai Prakash Narayan. After undergoing some difficulties Narayanji the security
officials checked the Prasad tied in a cloth and then asked Narayanji to carry only the Prasad
minus the cloth. When he later reached the 16th floor he spoke to Jai Prakash Narayan’s
Rajeshwar Babu and his brother-in-law Shivnath Babu. On seeing the Prasad carried by
Narayanji they mentally argued that when such senior adept doctors are failing miserably in
saving Jai Prakash Narayan’s life how can this Prasad help at all? When Narayanji entered
the room with the Prasad he was dumbfounded on seeing Jai Prakash Narayan’s heavily
swollen body. His mouth, face, hands, legs etc were extremely swollen. Narayanji told him
123/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
that he had brought HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s Prasad. Since he had advised that Jai
Prakash Narayan should eat the Prasad immediately he took the latter’s permission and after
breaking the dry fruits into smaller pieces put them in Jai Prakash Narayan’s mouth. With a
lot of effort somehow or the other Jai Prakash Narayan managed to swallow it. Narayanji was
a bit aghast that in this Prasad was also included an Amla or myrobalan given by HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba and the latter had commanded that at least one drop of this
myrobalan must be par taken by Jai Prakash Narayan. Thus he unearthed the Amla or
myrobalan in the Prasad and after cutting a very tiny piece from it, put it into Jai Prakash
Narayan’s mouth. After thus finishing this very important errand he bowed down to Jai
Prakash Narayan and started leaving. Jai Prakash Narayan said: Infinite blessings of HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba are flowing on me. I wonder how he remembered me. Please do tell
him I offer my humble obeisances at his sacred feet. Narayanji was then told by the hospital
authorities that lest he had reached even1 day later under no circumstances would he have
got the permission to meet Jai Prakash Narayan because that day being Saturday Jai Prakash
Narayan was to be administered dialysis treatment. Narayanji was simply amazed that while
handing over the Prasad obviously HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba knew about all this hence
had had firmly advised: The person taking this Prasad must reach the hospital before
Saturday at any cost. After this, Narayanji quickly left for Patna. After reaching his residence
he took a bath, at breakfast, rested a bit and then left for the market place. He saw a betel leaf
seller on the way who shouted that Jai Prakash Narayan was dead. On hearing this Narayanji
was dumbstruck. At Jai Prakash Narayan’s house in Patna all arrangements had already been
made to bring his dead body there. The main crematorium in Patna was being cleaned
properly. Narayanji was inwardly very upset that just 2 days back after handing over the
Prasad to Jai Prakash Narayan I have reached Patna today and now the newspapers have
today published the news of his death. His mind had lost all power of sane thinking and it
was conjuring up many possibilities. Finally I wondered as to is this the fruit of administering
the sacred Prasad of such a renowned powerful saint as HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba? He
just could not eat his evening meal and sleep eluded him at night. After waking up in the
morning when Narayanji was waiting for the newspaper to come so as to know what time Jai
Prakash Narayanji’s dead body was to arrive in Patna he was astounded to read in it that
since the previous night Jai Prakash Narayanji’s health had deteriorated much more he was
admitted into the ICU. No one was allowed to meet him. It was hence that a rumor of his
death that had spread everywhere. But after midnight his health started showing slow
improvement. He had not eaten anything.
All doubts of Narayanji disappeared and he truly realized that it was the divine grace only of
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba that Jai Prakash Narayanji’s was showing slow improvement.
Now Narayanji was yearning intensely to visit HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba in order to
convey the humble obeisances offered at his lotus feet by Jai Prakash Narayanji. After
making enquiries it was found that HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba was residing on the shores
of River Saryu. Immediately Narayanji set off hastily to have HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s
124/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
sacred Darshan. In order to reach there quickly he took short cuts through fields, alleys etc
giving up the rather long main road by almost running. When HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
saw him from a distance he shouted: O devotee! From where are you coming? Narayanji
said: I have come here after duly handing over the Prasad to Jai Prakash Narayanji. HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: So you did reach Mumbai. You also met Jai Prakash
Narayanji. Narayanji said: Yes Sir! Did he recognize you? Yes Sir! He did recognize me. Did
you talk to him? Yes Sir! I did do so. Did you make him eat the Prasad? Yes Sir! I did do so.
What exactly did you give him to eat? I made him eat small pieces of dry grapes, cashewnuts
etc. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: With a knife you cut a small piece (gesturing with his
fingers) of myrobalan or Amla and put it into his mouth. Narayanji, while saying ‘Yes Sir!’
was quite amazed. Mentally he was thinking to himself that I had told nothing to HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba yet he gestured the exact size of myrobalan or Amla that I had put
into Jai Prakash Narayanji’s mouth. Thus Narayanji felt as though HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba was watching him subtly whether he was in his presence or far away. After this time
and again Narayanji would go and have HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s sacred Darshan and
like a messenger would convey the humble obeisances offered at his lotus feet by Jai Prakash
Narayanji and convey to the latter Revered Baba’s blessings. After 4 years passed by,
Narayanji got spiritually initiated (Deeksha) by HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba. Later he would
also take his relatives for HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s sacred Darshan. He had a cousin
sister who was suffering from bone TB. Her daughter too would accompany her. Via
Narayanji she prayed to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba for her mother’s health problem. He
gave her 1 fistful of almonds with its rind intact and advised her to make her mother eat 4
seeds of it with 4 black pepper pods for about 5 days. I give her my blessings that she will
regain good health. After taking his blessings, this daughter handed over HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba’s Prasad to her mother. After par taking it daily for 5 days her bone TB
ailment got cured forever.
It must be noted that Jai Prakash Narayanji remained alive only for 4 years. When devotee
Ramanandji and Narayanji asked HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba that since he had blessed that
Jai Prakash Narayanji would live for 5 years why did he die in 4 years itself? HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba said: Child! If you remember 4 years back I had told you that the moment it
becomes clear to Jai Prakash Narayanji that he was living a life span borrowed from another
person instead of living more he would prefer to die. Thus I had predicted that on that very
day he shall die. When on this subject I was giving you my blessings at that time many
people were present. Thus via one of these people present Jai Prakash Narayanji came to
know that he was living a life span borrowed from Ramanandji he was very upset. Hence he
felt it was much better to die. And hence he did pass away. Yet even in the other
world/heaven my infinite blessings are with him. He was a very pious good soul.

MANGAL PANDEY WAS A TRUE DISCIPLE OF HH BRAHMARSHI DEVRAHA
BABA SARKAR
Child! I am very proud of Mangal Pandey. I look upon him as my true disciple. By
sacrificing his very life he offered it to me as Guru Dakshina.
The above words had been spoken by HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba at that time when whe a
DIG of Madhya Pradesh along with his father (who was a former freedom fighter) had come
to Shri Vrindavandham to have the sacred Darshan of HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba who
lived in his hut made of leaves etc. Thus it was quite normal that while conversing about days
previous to India attaining independence the father of the DIG spoke about Mangal Pandey’s
role in the 1857 AD revolution. On hearing what he said HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba had
uttered the words written above: Child! I am very proud of Mangal Pandey. I look upon him
as my true disciple. By sacrificing his very life he offered it to me as Guru Dakshina. He
continued further: When a certain fact is proved right from all angles it is in our well being
that we accept its validity. Those who refuse to do so face hardships akin to a person despite
sitting in a boat, train etc refuses to remove his luggage from his head that is burdensome. I
am omniscient i.e one who knows the past, present and future. Thus I see clearly that only if
we protect and serve cows devotedly can our country attain true advancement in all
directions. Mangal Pandey had my Darshan many times and due to the influence of my holy
teachings he harbored intense faith towards cows. When hence he was given a rifle mixed
with cow’s hide then thinking thus that these aliens are hell bent on chopping off the very
roots of Indian culture he became very angry. Since he lost all self control he shot at this
English officer. The frenzy of his daring spread swiftly everywhere and it thus took the form
of a big revolution. The English were taught the lesson that despite the fact that by gaining
political power on alien lands some financial benefits no doubt accrure yet if they play with
their religious sentiments definitely they shall taste very bitter fruits. Lest these Englishmen
had not behaved vilely with Indians then Indians would not have opposed them to this extent.
On those rare occasions when HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba talked of pre independence
days then while discussing about cows in those times he would almost always make a
mention of Mangal Pandey.

CHAPTER 47
HH BRAHMARSHI DEVRAHA BABA SARKAR BLESSES SUBHASH CHANDRA
BOSE
Many a times Subhash Chandra Bose a staunch devotee of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba who
played a very important role in India’s independence struggle would often come and have his
sacred Darshan. He firmly believed that whatever revolutionary inspirations erupted inwardly
in his soul got a lot of energy from the divine words of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba oozing
with valor. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba would also tell other revolutioneries who came to
him: Child! I charge up your batteries so that you all can offer your Ahutis in Yajna like tasks
of freedom fighting.
Once, Subhash Chandra Bose while describing in detail the demeaned state of India said to
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba: I am hearing about how Britishers who come to India behave
so abominably with our countrymen and they are doing so as of now too. In our own country
we are being oppressed and further since the past few centuries we have remained slaves of
the alien Muslim invader Babar. Before India could gather its wits the East India Company in
a wily manner took over its controls so as to oppress it much more. Our country India has no
army at the national level that can liberate Hindus from oppression and ceaseless harassment
at the hands of these aliens.
On hearing him speak thus HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said to him: Child! I give you my
blessings that you set up an army and become its chief. My untold grace flows on you. Due
to my potent blessings never shall you hang your head in shame because everyone shall listen
to your sage counsel. You are a very good soul and my untold grace flows on you. In this
manner after gaining divine inspiration from HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Subhash Chandra
Bose took up the mantel of this great task and set up an army called ‘Azad Hind Fauj’. The
effect of the valor attained by him from HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s hair raising divine
teachings became clear at that time when he publicly said:
‘You people give me blood, I shall give you independence’.
In the year 1988 AD ex soldiers of ‘Azad Hind Fauj’ had come to meet HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba. They asked him many things but the final question they humbly posed to HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba was: Please do tell us whether Subhash Chandra Bose is yet alive or
not. If you say he is yet alive do tell us where he is at present. While answering this HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba as though gazing at some far off void said: Child! What difference
shall it make to you by knowing all this? But when these ex soldiers of ‘Azad Hind Fauj’
prayerfully pressed further for a concrete reply HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: If you
insist on knowing then hear what I say. Subhash Chandra Bose is no longer alive. In that very
127/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
accident he had shed his mortal frame and via another living creature his dead body got
destroyed.
On hearing this everyone was dumbstruck. They all discussed this amongst themselves
wherein we heard one of them say that maybe a waterborne creature must have devoured
him. After this HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said to them: Whatever Subhash Chandra Bose
had planned to do was duly executed by him. Henceforth you people shall not be facing any
danger from external foes. That Lord Ram who took birth in India shall definitely protect it.
It means that from now on every Indian citizen shall have to combat foes within our country.
You all after destroying from their very roots hooliganism, inequality, untouchability, hatred,
enmity, robbery, dacoity etc that have spread their net in our land must reinstate the rule of
true peace and brotherhood in it. Due to my sacred blessings very soon such a wave shall
definitely erupt and such unity shall emerge among Hindus that people shall say in
amazement that never before in our country’s history has such oneness and brotherhood been
witnessed. Child! Know for sure that Harijans, Vaishyas, Brahmins etc are brothers. All of
them hence must give up enmity and hatred towards each other. As long as these people do
not imbibe the sacred sentiments of the fact that first we are Hindus and only after that we are
something else our country’s demeaned state cannot be raised to peaks of glory. And this
sacred attitude shall manifest in our hearts only when we Hindus on giving up all sorts of
inequality and disparity shall in unison shall revere the cow as our mother and lovingly serve
it. It means that lest we yearn to destroy poverty prevalent in our country, if we wish to
render our country prosperous both materially and spiritually and if we wish to render our
country happy and peaceful all Indians must serve cows devotedly. It is because our cows in
such a poor condition that our country also is demeaned in stature. Thus only if we work for
the cow’s welfare can India attain true all round welfare. The cow is a symbol of Sanatan
Dharma or Eternal Religion and affectionate motherly feelings.
On hearing these divine utterances of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba most definitely when
anyone who sees the pain and hardship faced by the cow full of supreme glory does not
himself experience anguish can never be called a true Hindu. It is only because of those
Indians engulfed by enuch like attitude that both India and Sanatan Dharma or Eternal
Religion is seeing such dire days. What more can we say? When our beloved HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba’s eyes welled with tears on hearing the heart wrenching painful condition of
cows in India then because of manifesting immense ire on those people responsible for this
hapless demeaned state of our country our blood would boil too. Yet we know that as long as
destiny does become conducive despite our desiring nothing fruitful can be achieved.

CHAPTER 48
WHEN VINOBA BHAVEJI ERRED MAHATMA GANDHI BEGGED FORGIVENESS
FROM HH MAHAYOGI DEVRAHA BABA SARKAR
Entire India knew of Mahatma Gandhi for his self sacrifice based endeavor for gaining
freedom for India in a very non violent peaceful manner. He was a staunch advocate of non
violence or Ahimsa. His love for truthful speech was incomparable. He would associate a lot
with great self realized saints. There were many more pious qualities in him along with his
executing many sacred tasks. He gave supreme importance to Sanatan Dharma in his life. As
and when he got time he would go for Darshan of great saints and sages. As everyone is well
aware the Nehru family members were stauch followers of HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba
Sarkar. Since Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru spoke very highly of HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba
Sarkar’s divine personality Mahatma Gandhi was greatly influenced by him. HH Brahmarshi
Devraha Baba Sarkar always remained naked. In order to build a dwelling for him his
devotees would pitch 9 bamboos into the ground with a height of 8 feet above the ground. On
it they would make a wooden floor so as to create a loft. On this loft a tiny hut of leaves
would be constructed. Outside this hut a small threshold area too remained open. As per his
wish HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar would sometimes dwell in his hut and sometimes
in this open area outside it. He was not known to eat anything. No one has also seen him
sleeping ever. He would tell us that whenever a devotee attained Self Realization wherein the
individual soul gets transformed into the cosmic divine soul (Brahmakar Vritti) i.e. the
devotee becomes totally one with Brahman or God the chapter called sleep ends forever.
Amongst many Indian saints like Surdas, Kabiradas, Rupa and Sanatan Goswami, Vijay
Krishna Goswami, Swami Ramkrishna Paramhansa, Lahiri Mahashay and Tailang Swami
were known to cross over from their Sadhak (aspirant) state to enter this divine state of
cosmic divine soul (Brahmakar Vritti) also called Self and God Realization. Since HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar too was in this divine state of Self/God Realization he had
gone beyond the bondage of sleep. The difference only was that the above saints mentioned
attained Self/God Realization via Sadhana or spiritual austerities whereas HH Brahmarshi
Devraha Baba Sarkar was an eternally Sidha Yogi and Self Realized master. Never does one
find any mention that HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar had performed any Sadhana or
spiritual austerities of any type ever. Never has he learnt anything from any Guru or anyone
else. This is because he is an eternally self fulfilled God Realized Mahayogi. Great saints and
Sadhaks (aspirant) would come to him for Darshan and guidance for attaining Self/God
Realization. It is hence that even Mahatma Gandhi would come to HH Brahmarshi Devraha
Baba Sarkar with deep faith and devotion. On hearing his compassionate and non violence
oriented teachings very much on the lines of Vedas etc Mahatma Gandhi would get imbued
129/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
so much more with the quality of non violence that its power was clearly seen the most in the
final 15 years of his sojourn on planet earth.
HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba’s sacred speech always oozed with love for Lord Ram and
respect for all devotees. Its influence was noted on all those people who tried to understand
the factual nature of what he uttered and the effect of having his Darshan. Mahatma Gandhi’s
thoughts regarding cows and Lord Ram became all the more steadfast after meeting HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba.
One of the respected leading disciples of Mahatma Gandhi was Acharya Vinoba Bhave was
not so well versed with Vedas, Vedant etc. He was also not a very great scholar yet he was
revered as one. He was not well equipped to understand the deep import of secret mysteries
found in Indian scriptures. This could be understood because while writing discourses on the
Bhagwad Geeta Acharya Vinoba Bhave himself got deluded and he wrote one very deluded
observation. According to him ancient Rishis were known to eat cow’s meat. At that time
Kashi’s Karpatriji Maharaj and a staunch devotee of HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba from
Pilkhua (Ramsharandasji) called king among devotees by HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba had
openly opposed this statement of Acharya Vinoba Bhave. Many more people very well
versed with the truth found in Indian Philosophy and Indian scriptures too had openly
opposed this statement of Acharya Vinoba Bhave. At the hour of the Bhoodan campaign
when Acharya Vinoba Bhave arrived in Hapud HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba’s very close
blessed disciple and devotee called king among devotees- Ramsharandasji had met Acharya
Vinoba Bhave in person and very openly Ramsharandasji told him as to on what basis could
he prove that ancient Rishis were known to eat cow’s meat. No where in the scriptures has
this been mentioned at all.
It appeared that in front of the fearless opposition of Ramsharandasji Acharya Vinoba
Bhave’s soul power paled significantly and since he could not understand anything he took
an orange in his hand saying that suppose one piece in it rots you must remove it and throw it
away and blissfully eat the remaining sweet juicy pieces.
From this it became absolutely clear that Acharya Vinoba Bhave knew quite well that ancient
Rishis were known to eat cow’s meat. This then was his rotten thought. From his utterances
we infer that he was trying to say that if anyone did not like the thoughts put forth by him
they can praise his other good qualities.
On hearing this HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba’s very beloved Mahant Ramsharandasji said
something due to sheer grace of great saints which rendered Acharya Vinoba Bhave a very
ordinary person. Acharya Vinoba Bhave was defeated from all corners. Mahant
Ramsharandasji said: Acharya Vinoba Bhave! If someone has only 1 orange he will remove
the rotten piece and eat the remaining orange pieces in it. Yet those who possess many other
fruits why would he even deign to touch this orange that has a rotten piece in it? What he was
130/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
conveying is that Acharya Vinoba Bhave should not look upon himself as a saint. India has
so many divine saints. Just because someone wears very minimal clothes does not mean he is
a very self sacrificing and highly renounced ascetic. This is in fact but a show of
renunciation. Renunciation, inner detachment and dispassion is in fact true wealth of great
saints and it resides in the core of their souls deep within.
How could Kashi’s Karpatriji Maharaj, Mahant Ramsharandasji and many other renowned
scholars who fully understood the deep mysteries of Sanatan Dharma in an apt way expect
anything from Acharya Vinoba Bhave because in the final analysis Acharya Vinoba Bhave
was the follower of that very Mahatma Gandhi who had refused to join those group of people
who had appealed to the British govt. to cancel the order passed to execute Sardar Bhagat
Singh, Rajguru etc who had vowed to avenge the killings of so many weaponless Hindus in
1919 AD in a General Dyer held campaign in Jalianwalla Baug? Mahatma Gandhi had
allowed the administering of an injection of poison to a calf to die quickly because it was
very ill. In his books he said cow’s milk and cow’s meat are synonymous. It is amazing that
Mahatma Gandhi never looked upon the goat and goat’s milk as equal. By writing a book on
the key to good health he had given his consent for eating eggs. Did he himself desire to eat
eggs? Well! Whatever maybe the case what have we to do with all this? What kind of a
father of our great nation was he? We only ‘thank’ those who have conferred on him the title
of father of our nation.
………….Shri Chote Mahrajji
It was because of this that very shortly when Acharya Vinoba Bhave came for HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba’s Darshan the latter said: Child Vinoba! When you do not
understand Vedas etc properly why do you give vain discourses on them? Acharya Vinoba
Bhave said that I am talking of those facts that are written in our scriptures.
Gau mansa bhakshyate nityam pibet amar varuni.
Kulinam tamaham manye chetare kula ghataka.
MEANING: Those who regularly eat cow’s flesh and drink wine I look upon them as of a
cultured lineage and all others are but destroyers of their clan. After saying this much
Acharya Vinoba Bhave smile slightly and kept quiet. HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba said:
Child Vinoba! Goswami Tulsidasji has writtenKshudra nahin bhari chali torayi.
When in a river rain water falls down it breaks apart the river banks too and then in just a few
days this river dries up. Yet those that are rivers in the true sense of the term if in them any
amount of water enters it will manage to balance its water flow and thus does not break apart
131/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
its banks. Thus the meaning of true scholarliness is to know Almighty God and not imposing
erroneous meanings to what is written in scriptures and mythology.
Child Vinoba! I shall quote a line of some verse and you must give me its meaning. I am
certainly not testing you because anyone who has studied Sanskrit language can easily give
its meaning.
Gau mansa bhakshanam mahapatak nashanamaha.
Tell me what is its meaning? Acharya Vinoba Bhave said: Those who eat cow’s flesh
become destroyers of super sins. It means that by eating cow’s flesh our most heinous sins
get destroyed.
HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba smilingly said: Child Vinoba! No doubt the word meaning
you gave is correct yet in actuality you have not understood its connotation. Now I shall help
you understand it aptly. The meaning of the verse via which you are proving your point is not
as you have elucidated it. Rishis have called the tongue a cow and the meaning of eating
cow’s flesh is the tip of the tongue entering the gullet. It means that this fact is related to the
Yogic Khechri Mudra and what you have understood as wine or alcohlol for Varuni is not
that drunk by human beings. ‘Yoga wine’ is called immortal wine. Child Vinoba! Via the
Yogic Khechri Mudra a devotee by drinking this ‘Yoga wine’ becomes divinely blissful. This
is certainly not some external worldly wine because it is attained within the body via Yoga
practices. As proof of this the following verse is quoted:
Gau shabde nodita jihva tat pravesho hi taluni.
Gau mansa bhakshanam tantu mahapatak nashanam.
It means child! That Gau overhere connotes the tongue and when it enters behind its palate in
the gullet’s hole it is called eating. This then is the real meaning of eating cow’s flesh. It
destroys the most heinous amongst all sins. Thus in this verse the meaning of Yogic Khechri
Mudra has been given. Further it is written that:
Kapal kuhare jihva pravishta viparitka.
Bhruvon antargata drishtir mudra bhavati khechri.
Child Vinoba! In the scalp there is a cave like hole. When the tongue enters it the state
becomes bang opposite. After this the devotee focuses his vision between both eyebrows.
This is called Yogic Khechri Mudra. It is of supreme importance. See Child Vinoba!
Goswami Tulsidasji too has called the tongue a cow or Gau as folloes:
Gau gochar jahan lagi man jayi.
So sab maya janehu bhayi.
132/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Thus child! Gau means tongue and Gochar means vision. It means till whatever distance you
can see or talk about there only Maya or God’s power of illusion reigns. Thus you must
understand properly child! As to what exactly was the meaning of great ancient Rishis eating
cow’s flesh. It was as if Vinobaji’s inner eye opened. The ego of his scholarly nature was
shattered by HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba’s divine utterances. Thus he realized his true
inner state. While throwing more light on the importance of this Yogic Khechri Mudra HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba said: Child Vinoba! Hear from me as to what exactly was the
great ancient Rishis’ immortal wine. It means know as to which wine they drank. At this
moment HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba was in full flow of divine inspirations. At such times
he would be in a very strange ascetic like divine ecstasy. Thus he spoke further:
Jihva pravesh sambhut vahinotpadatiha khalu.
Chandrat sravati yahaha saraha sasyad amar varuni.
It means my child! That Yogi who raises his tongue into the cave of the skull becomes steady
in concentration-meditation from his head akin to the moon cool nectar flows down. This
bestows immortality on the Yogi. Due to this Yogic Khechri Mudra a devotee masters the art
of mental focus mentioned in Yoga. Further it is said:
Na rogo maranam vandra na nidra na kshudha trusha.
Na cha murccha bhavetasya yu mudra veli khechrim.
It means my child! That those who practice it regularly they gain victory over illnesses,
death, lethargy, sleep, hunger and thirst. They never even become unconscious. After this
with a bit of a scolding tone HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba told Acharya Vinoba Bhave: You
have not understood the underlying import of scriptures. You only know how to give
erroneous meanings of these verses in great scriptures. Again HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba
said: Child Vinoba! You are foolishly mad. Then along with a smile in a questioning tone he
said: What exactly are you? Then HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba answering himself said:
You are more insane. Hence stop giving discourses and teaching others. You must restrict
yourself to mentally reflect over scriptures and mythology only. This is because you yet do
not have the capacity to assess true meanings of various scriptures. I now command you to
take this Prasad. And send Mahatma Gandhi to me.
After this when Mahatma Gandhi came to know that HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba had
chided Acharya Vinoba Bhave and that his observation that great ancient Rishis ate cow’s
flesh was totally baseless and that HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba unfolded its true hidden
meaning and import Mahatma Gandhi came to HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba to beg
forgiveness on behalf of the error committed by Acharya Vinoba Bhave. HH Brahmarshi
Devraha Baba said: Child! Am I some supreme authority who shall forgive you? This error
has been made with reference to great ancient Rishis of yore. Tell him to first accept his
133/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
mistake and then beg forgiveness from great ancient Rishis. It is only great self realized
saints who have the right and authority to confer teachings on others. Those who ape saints
so as to teach others not only fail to attain well being themselves but that the lay public too
do not benefit at all. I do not every look upon anyone as lowly or vile. For me everyone is
good. All are vessels of the compassion of God. It is my righteous duty to scold anyone
coming here for executing wrong tasks, praising those who carry out sacred tasks, show them
the path of attaining God’s divine love and shower compassion on anguished creatures. After
that HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba said many more inspiring great things. Then he bid adieu
to Mahatma Gandhi.

CHAPTER 49
DUE TO THE GRACE OF HH MAHAYOGI DEVRAHA BABA SATAVLEKARJI IS
ANOINTED WITH THE TITLE OF ‘BRAHMARSHI’
Shripad Damodar Satavlekarji had carved out a niche amongst great scholars for his
outstanding research in Vedas, very lucid commentaries on them and authoring great stature
literature. He opined that if one lived life based on Vedic tenets man becomes saintly. He
would say that I too by living such a life am presenting an example of it. He would imbibe in
day to day living all code of conduct and ethics prescribed for Vedic Brahmins. In the year
1962 AD he met HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar. On seeing Satavlekarji’s steadfast
faith in Vedic way of life he proclaimed him to be a ‘Brahmarshi’. By mere proclamation of
HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar Satavlekarji attained self fulfilled glory and true sense
of Brahminism. After this a different radiance manifested, in Satavlekarji’s life. At this
moment he was having his very first Darshan of HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar. He
showcased his revering speech towards the great saint. He said: In my long life I have
associated with our country India’s highly renowned ascetics, Yogis and saints. Till today I
had heard a lot about HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar. But today by having his direct
holy Darshan I indeed experience total self glory. From my heart blooms forth untold bliss
and pride that I am able to have his direct holy Darshan. I feel as though that my eyes have
its power of vision in a fruitful manner. No doubt my life has been immersed in research of
Vedic Mantras yet previously I felt it was virtually impossible to have direct holy Darshan of
the authors and Mantra seer-Rishis (Dhrashta) of the glorious Vedas. But today I feel I am in
the hallowed presence of a glorious seer-Rishis of the Vedic Era. I feel HH Brahmarshi
Devraha Baba Sarkar totally oozes with Vedic grandeur.
At the age of 105 years Satavlekarji shed his mortal coil. In his final days he had said that
despite living his entire life based on Vedic divine principles mentally he was not totally
satiated. Yet in the year 1962 AD the moment HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar
anointed me with the ‘Brahmarshi’ title from that very moment I felt previously although I
had tried my utmost to get rid off human mental weaknesses like desire, wrath, greed,
delusion, ego, envy, hatred, enmity, weakness etc I was not succeeding fully. Yet when HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar anointed me with the ‘Brahmarshi’ title I actually
experienced that the above mental taints I have listed leaving on their own very naturally
have rendered me in such a self controlled inner state that even if I try to become angry etc I
fail to do so. Mental sexual lust has disappeared from its very root. I feel that it is absolutely
true that if we get the holy blessings of HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar we get a new
2nd birth. After getting the title ‘Brahmarshi’ man manifests an extraordinary sentiment of
cosmic compassion and a sense of oneness of soul is experienced towards the entire cosmos
and its animate/inanimate beings. The pain and anguish of others’ is felt as that of one’s very
135/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
own. All this I am experiencing in totality only due to the kind divine grace of HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar.

CHAPTER 50
A BRAHMIN EXPRESSES HIS DESIRE TO HOLD A SHASTRARTH OR
SCRIPTURAL DEBATE WITH HH BRAHMARSHI DEVRAHA BABA
Once, in the year 1990 AD around the month of February a Brahmin clad in very ordinary
clothes came to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba’s loft in Vrindavandham and said to the latter:
Revered sir! I wish to debate with you on scriptures (Shastrarth). HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba said: Child! It is futile to dryly debate on scriptures (Shastrarth) and is a useless
endeavor. In previous times no doubt certain Acharyas did carry out debate on scriptures
(Shastrarth) yet it was done only to reinstate the the true values of religion and spirituality in
our society. At that time this was apt yet today I do not see any need for doing so. Today
debate on scriptures (Shastrarth) by ordinary scholars is done merely to bloat one’s ego or
else insult someone’s brain skills. But know that true rare scholars never stoop low to carry
out such useless debates. See, in Vrindavandham previously resided a great devotee called
Sanatan Goswami. Once, a Kashmiri scholar came to him for a debate on scriptures
(Shastrarth) and said: Sanatanji! Either you hold a debate with me or else write a certificate
proclaiming that I have gained victory over you. Sanatan Goswami without wasting time or
even batting his eyelid gladly wrote a certificate proclaiming that the Kashmiri scholar has
gained victory. Then this scholar left that place. But after walking for a very short distance,
this scholar met Sanatan Goswami’s disciple Jiva Goswami. While standing within 10
minutes Jiva Goswami defeated the Kashmiri scholar in a scriptural debate. This defeated
Kashmiri scholar asked Jiva Goswami to take him to his Guru. Thus Jiva Goswami led the
scholar to Sanatan Goswami. This scholar on seeing Sanatan Goswami again mentally
thought that if that disciple who defeats me in merely 10 minutes in a debate while standing
definitely his Guru has to be a very great scholar. Yet out of compassion Guru Sanatan
Goswami wrote a certificate proclaiming that the Kashmiri scholar has gained victory simply
to save himself from any prejudices and a bloated ego that is a major obstacle in spiritual
practices done to attain God vision. Thus in sheer reverence this scholar prostrated humbly at
Guru Sanatan Goswami’s sacrosanct feet.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! That devotee who wishes to attain Almighty God
must stay away assiduously from such vain activities. Thus instead of debating on scriptures
you must devote yourself to Almighty God called Bhakti. I am a dispassionate detached
Avadhoot ascetic. I thus never get into these meshes of debate on scriptures (Shastrarth) and
yet if you insist on doing Shastrarth then go to the other shore of River Yamuna where you
shall find many scholars. That Brahmin said that from the other shore of River Yamuna only
I have got to know that you are the greatest scholar in entire Vrindavandham. Hence I shall
debate with you only.
137/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba noting this Brahmin’s ass like obstinacy said: Child! True
scriptural debate called Shastrarth encompasses giving correct apt meaning to what is
mentioned in great scriptures. Tell me do you know the total number of Puranas (Indian
mythology texts)? The Brahmin answered that there are totally 18 Puranas. HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba said: Child! Do you know the name of each of these 18 Puranas? He replied
yes I do know their names. When HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba asked him to give their
names the Brahmin started quoting them one by one like Shiv Purana, VishnuPurana, Narada
Purana etc But despite laboring hard he could not name more than 10 Puranas correctly. At
that time HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Listen Child! I shall tell you all the names by
quoting the following verse:
Vaishnavam naradiya cha tatha bhagwatam shubham.
Garuda cha tatha padam varaham shubh darshanam.
Brahmandam brahmavaivartam markandeya tarthava.
Cha bhavishyam vamanam brahmanvam.
Matsya karma tatha linga shaivaskand.
Tathaiva cha agneyam shadetani.
After this HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! When you do not even know the names
of these 18 Puranas how will you participate in Shastrath? After giving him a lot of Prasad
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! Eat it and devote yourself to God. You will gain
just nothing via scriptural debate etc. See what Narayanswami has saidVidya padh karta phire auran ka apman.
Narayan vidya nahin tahi avidya jan.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! If after studying such science you inflict pain in the
bosom of others it is not knowledge but it is sheer ignorance. In the scriptures it is writtenYatha kharashchandan bharvahi marasyaveta na tu chandanasya.
Tatha chavipra shruti shastrayukta kharvad vahanti.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! Our scriptures call that person a donkey and an ass
who via Shastrath insults others and bloats his ego in vain pride. Just as a donkey carrying
the burden of very fragrant sandalwood on its back does not know the qualities of
sandalwood and just feels the painful burden of it, similarly those so called scholars
demeaning others via Shastrath know how to carry the painful burden of scriptures on their
heads. The true fruits of scriptural studies certainly are not attaining lowly selfish gains but
138/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
that they aid in attaining divine wisdom or Self/God Realization. Thus child, you must give
up such ass like activities and focus on executing saintly tasks. By churning scriptural
meanings via their divine profound connotations glorify your life. But the moment the
Brahmin tried to say something else HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba said: Child! I have already
given you Prasad and hence stop talking any further. Now do go away immediately.

CHAPTER 51
EPIC RAMAYAN AUTHORED BY LORD HANUMANJI
One day a well known Ramayani (one who discourses on the epic Ramayan) came to HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar for holy Dashan. He discussed with a bit on the epic
Ramayan with HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar. He mentioned many episodes related to
Lord Hanumanji. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar said: Child! In comparison to the size
of Ayodhya in Tretayuga Lord Rama’s cannon drawn by horses was much bigger. Thus you
can imagine, how large in size were Ayodhya, in Tretayuga. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
Sarkar was now in blissful ecstasy and by quoting a few lovely verses started giving its
profound meanings. From his hallowed lips divine nectar was dripping forth. This Rama
discourse of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar appeared as though a new River Ganga was
flowing down on planet earth. After uttering 4-6 verses HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar
gave its meaning and then the Ramayani (one who discourses on the epic Ramayan) said:
Revered Sir! I have studied all types of epic Ramayan available till date. Yet the verses that
just were just now quoted by you are not found in either Valmiki Ramayan or in Adbhut
Ramayan. Please do hence tell me from where you are quoting these verses. HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba Sarkar said that these verses are of ancient times. Once upon a time Lord
Hanumanji wrote the epic Ramayan on huge rocky boulders. When Valmikiji met Lord
Hanumanji, the latter asked Valmikiji to read out the epic Ramayan penned by him. Child,
Lord Hanumanji is an avid devoted listener of epic Ramayan. Valmikiji knew quite well that
Lord Hanumanji had written the epic Ramayan on huge rocky boulders. Hence on hearing
Valmikiji’s excess plea to hear it Lord Hanumanji in a sweet nectarine voice along with tears
of divine love flowing down his cheeks started singing the self authored epic Ramayan. Lord
Hanumanji’s sweet divine voice and verses of his self authored epic Ramayan was so
nectarine that Valmikiji totally forgot how much time had lapsed by ever since this Ramayan
discourse had commenced and ended.
Inwardly Valmikiji thought to himself that lest this Lord Hanumanji’s epic Ramayan became
very popular the epic Ramayan written by him would not get much importance. Thus
Valmikiji voiced these thoughts of his to Lord Hanumanji and the latter seeing a golden
opportunity to get protected from name and fame very lovingly renounced it. Lord
Hanumanji said: O Maharshi Valmikiji! You may encourage everyone to read and give
discourses on the epic Ramayan authored by you. My penned epic Ramayan shall never pose
obstacles in the way of your tasks pertaining to Lord Rama. After saying this much Lord
Hanumanji picked up all the boulders on which he had etched his authored epic Ramayan
and threw them into the deep sea. Valmikiji no doubt inwardly felt pained by this act hence
he in his following birth incarnated as Goswami Tulsidasji who in turn exhibited that very
epic Ramayan authored by Lord Hanumanji oozing with divine sentiments of Lord
140/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Hanumanji. This can be read today as Ramcharit Manas which is much more popular than
Valmikiji’s epic Ramayan.
After speaking thus HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar continued: Child! The reason why
you shall not find verses just uttered by me in any other epic Ramayan simply because I was
uttering verses of Lord Hanumanji authored epic Ramayan etched on boulders. Hence how
can you find them anywhere? Do you now understand my child?
Tears of devotion flowed down the cheeks of the Ramayani who chanted:
Twameva mata cha pita twameva.
Twameva bandhushcha sakha twameva.
Twameva vidya dravinam twameva.
Twameva sarvam mama deva deva.
Chanting such devitional verses the Ramayani did full length prostrations at the holy feet of
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar. He said: Revered Sir! You are omniscient and nothing
remains hidden from your divine 3rd eye. You are living in this world hiding in such a
manner just as burning coals on fire getting doused hide in a pile of remnant ash. People
think you to be an ordinary saint yet as long as you do not wish to manifest your great
divinity how can anyone know your true divine glory?
In this way when HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar was in blissful ecstasy or was
immersed in divine trance sometimes he would talk of such incidences that were conjoined to
other incidences that had occurred thousands of years previously. Sometimes he would talk
of those things regarding the Muslim Emperor Akbar’s royal court that can only be spoken of
if one had directly witnessed it. Sometimes he would talk of such wondrous things regarding
the poet saint Surdasji that are not available in the poet saint’s literature also. Sometimes he
would talk of incidences related to GuruNanakdevji, Shri Ramanujacharya (that had taken
place 1060 years previously) etc Sometimes he would talk of incidences related to
Sathkopsuri that had occurred 2000 years previously. Thus on hearing such minute details we
infer that HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar was truly a Trikaldarshi i.e. one who with his
divine 3rd eye could know the past, present and future.

CHAPTER 52
NO DOUBT WE MUST HARBOR SAME SIGHTED VISION TOWARDS ALL BUT WE
CANNOT BEHAVE IN AN EQUAL MANNER WITH EVERYBODY
(SAMDARSHAN AND SAMVARTAN)
In the year 1988 AD Rajmata Gayatri Devi accompanied by her 2 sons came for HH Brahmarshi
Devraha Baba Sarkar’s holy Darshan. They had conversations with him on many topics. After
this when HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar was bidding them adieu, Rajmata Gayatri
Devi’s younger son who was called Jagat said: Revered Baba! I shall just come in a minute and
thus went to his car to bring his pet dog to HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar saying: Revered
Baba! This pet dog is having your holy Darshan. HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar said: Yes
child! I bless this dog too. After that HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar gave a divine lesson
by saying: Child! One can harbor a same sighted vision towards all (Samdarshan) but one cannot
behave in an equal manner with everybody (Samdarshan). Once, in Allahbad in the holy month
of Magh my loft was set up there. Many people would come for my Darshan.
One day one wealthy devotee came for my Darshan accompanied by his pet bitch (female dog).
This bitch started roaming around here and there and started touching food items like sugar
candy, fruits etc. Those people standing near my loft objected to this saying that the devotee
should keep his bitch in his lap. See it is touching food items. This wealthy devotee did not agree
saying that you devotees, who live by the side of a great Yogi-saint like HH Brahmarshi Devraha
Baba Sarkar, yet you harbor such differences within. Such attitude of ‘do not touch this and that’
does not suit you. Volunteer devotees near my loft replied: Humans get harmed both, when dogs
lick them or when they bite them. But this devotee looking upon this as an insult was becoming
very angry. I was sitting outside my hut on the loft and was washing my hands with water. I had
already heard what both sides had to say. I asked: What exactly is the problem? Why is there so
much noisy talk here? Thus both sides pleaded their case to me. I told this wealthy devotee:
Child! These people are doing service to this loft and they try their best to serve as per my
directions. Thus do hear me attentively. In dogs such dangerous microbes are found that the
physical and mental capacity of humans depletes a fair bit. In fact in the spit of a dog very
harmful germs are present. As a result the brain, heart, lungs and blood of humans get affected
very badly. Especially the danger of a skin disease attack is very high. All this is not known by
the lay public. And further child, as per our scriptural injunctions ghosts and evil spirits prey on
food items eaten by dogs. Even if in ignorance one offers such food to God you accrue a big sin.
Healthwise too man gets harmed in some way or the other. Child! Although you talk of
harboring a same sighted vision yet you just know nothing regarding it. Harboring a same
sighted vision means looking upon everyone as equal and this is not possible in totality as long
as one has not attained Self/God Realization. This is synonymous with what scriptures on Bhakti
142/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
say wherein your inner vision must see God just about everywhere in the entire cosmos.
Otherwise all else just keep uttering parrot like ‘same sighted’ which is nothing but superficial
lip service. Without God’s grace this vision of equality is not possible to imbibe. I certainly am
not trying to say that we renounce the very wish to become samesighted but in fact I say try more
and more to become one. Yet this cannot take place till a person does not imbibe its meaning
very deeply. Child! No doubt we must become samesighted but one cannot behave in an equal
manner towards all. Samesightedness does not mean acting and behaving equally with all. That
is called Samvarti. When Almighty God created this world, seeing that creatures had different
types of bodily etc requirements, he created them differently. Thus how can equal behavior be
possible with everyone? What a dog eats cannot be eaten by a cow and what all a cow eats all of
it cannot be eaten by humans. What humans eat cannot be eaten by snakes and other creatures. If
a man touch fruits etc they do not become impure but if a dog touches it, it definitely turns
impure. Child! If you take a loaf of bread in your hand from one end you eat it and you may
allow your child to eat it from the other end. If from the 3rd side a dog starts eating it shall you
eat it? Supposing out of love for your dog you actually eat it yet if from another end a snake bites
it shall you eat it? Hence child, from the soul standpoint one can become samesighted yet it is
impossible to act and behave equally with all. You talk of samesightedness and want to act and
behave equally with all. See child, Goswami Tulsidasji in Ramcharit Manas has given such a
lovely descriptionJad chetan guna dosha maya vishwa keenha kartar.
Sant hans guna gahahin paya hari vari vicar.
Child! The Lord has created both the the worlds of inertness and consciousness. In these some
have good qualities and some have bad qualities. If you place milk in front of a royal swan it
shall only take milk from it by separating its water content. In the same way from this world of
good qualities and bad qualities great saints imbibe only good qualities and things so as to render
their lives successful in the true sense of the term. Child! Placing flowers on one’s head adds to
its beauty and never by placing rubbish from the roadside on it. In the same way not only
humans but the entire cosmos perforce carries out different types of duties. A snake can eat rats
but never a mole.
Child! Now see I shall test you and I know that you shall fail in it. It is in your hands to succeed
in it yet you shall prefer to fail. You no doubt eat bread everyday. The devotee replied in the
affirmative. Revered Baba said that you must be eating soup and rice also. The devotee again
replied in the affirmative. Revered Baba said that you must be drinking milk? The devotee again
replied in the affirmative. HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar said: Child! For how long has
this bitch been with you? He said that for sometime. Child! This bitch must have given birth to
puppies. He replied in the affirmative. HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar said: Child! These
puppies eat bread etc. He replied in the negative. As of now they drink the bitche’s milk. HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar said: Child! How much milk does this bitch give? He said that
143/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
he never made any note of it. HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar said: Child! Can you remove
this milk of hers in a vessel so as to show it to me? As per Revered Baba’s command in a vessel
of mud found nearby the bitch was milked and the vessel with the milk was brought to Revered
Baba. HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar said: Child! Since you said you do drink milk,
please drink this milk in the vessel. On hearing this, the devotee’s face showed aversion. The
noose of his own arguments tied around his own neck. With a pitiful look on his face he said to
HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar: I beg forgiveness. I now understand what you are trying
to say. I now have full knowledge of it. Please do not ask me to drink this dog’s milk. Say who
can pass your test? HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar smilingly said: Child! My untold grace
flows on this dog. It is very fortunate. If it was not here how would you get to realize my sacred
teaching? You were foolish but now have turned wise. This dog mother is indeed very nice yet
do keep her away from my loft. My infinite love and blessings pour down on all creatures of the
world like trees, plants, humans, rocks, mountains, rivers etc. Now take this Prasad and go home.
You must tie this teaching of mine given today tightly to your intellect. Thus your life shall
accrue special welfare.
Respected readers must know that the devotee related to the above incident was a senior official
in the water department (a collector)

CHAPTER 53
HIMALAYA MOUNTAINS OF GOLD
Just a few days before war erupted, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru came for HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba Sarkar’s holy Darshan. At that time Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was worried that
maybe an Indo-China war was on the cards. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar said: Child!
Are you weak? But the Indian PM Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru said that since he was heading
the govt. of that nation belonging to great Rishi-Munis etc he did not fear anything yet due to
slavery to foreign for fair number of years the country’s economic arena has broken apart and
that currency Rupee had just not much value. Since our economy is in the doldrums it is
difficult to give advanced warfare training to our soldiers due to lack of proper finance
availability. On hearing this HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar said: Child! With my divine
eye I am seeing that there is no dearth of mineral ores, gold, diamond mines, petroleum
products etc in our country. If you say so I can command Himalayas to open up hidden gold
mines present in its womb for our country’s benefit. The entire Himalayas with my blessings
can turn into gold. Say child, do you wish that? Since Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was not
totally aware of the super divine powers of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar hence he did
not believe even when Revered Baba said so himself. Hence he only prayed to HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba Sarkar that everything remains alright for India. Maybe in retrospect it is best
that India waged a war with China because from the following speech given by HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar we can see that the effect of it was good for India.
One day in the year 1990 AD Shri Bade Mahrajji due to some task went towards Cama in a
taxi. I reverently asked HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar a question: When the Indian PM
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru came to you for the first time since you are omniscient even at that
time you knew that maybe India would get involved in a war and that it would not have the
capacity to endure its ferocity. Thus before this war situation cropped up why did you not
destroy it well in advance? This is because much later via your own divine blessings you had
to stop this heinous war especially in India’s interests.
At such a young age on hearing my question HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar’s eyes
bloomed open with joy and smilingly said to a householder saint called Shivvachan Singh:
This child is a big devotee. See, how for the sake of his country he is asking such a good
question. Shivvachan, go to the gate and if anyone comes stop them there itself. And child,
say whose dog are you? With a joyful mind I said: O Sir! I am your dog. He then gave me a
fruit and said that after eating it and drinking some water I should return to him. Then he
would continue talking to me. Very quickly I ate the fruit and spat out the seeds in it and
since it was my Gurudev’s command I drank water despite the fact that I was not thirsty.
Then I swiftly went to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar. He now gave me a mud pot and
said: Fill it with water and bring it to me. After bringing about 7 pots filled with water HH
145/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
Mahayogi Devraha Baba seated there on the loft itself with his face facing the west he started
conversing.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar said: Child! The question you have asked verily is a
good one. So do hear attentively my child. Lest China had not attacked India our soldiers
would have twiddled their thumbs idly and never would have experienced what fighting wars
is like. Behind the waging of this war with China was the divine inspiration of great RishiMunis and child, when I understood that our army had deeply realized how important it is for
them to keep themselves well managed and well trained I in turn gave due subtle inspiration
to stop this war. From my loft itself I was subtly noting this war and its trend. The effect of
this was that such reasons cropped up that Chinese war officials, decided to stop waging this
war. Lest this had not happened even today our Indian army would be labeled a lame duck.
Hence child, it is said that from its result aspect the tasks of saints are like war only. From the
external standpoint the action may appear to be contrary and hostile yet deep within they
accrue nothing but untold benefit. After this HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar asked me:
Child! Now do you understand? I respectfully answered in the affirmative. After this for
about 3/4th of an hour many other topics were discussed. Then when other devotees arrived
he gave Darshan to them and I too got immersed in conveying what these devotees wanted to
express to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar. It was virtually dusk time and Bade
Maharajji too in his vehicle had returned. On realizing what wondrous blessings were being
poured on our country and army by HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar it seemed to me that
despite him living far away in a hut on a river shore without any modern facilities like eadio,
TV , newspaper, light, fan etc he not only thought of protecting our nation merely but was all
the time immersed in ushering in world well being.
HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar never belonged to any particular country, caste or creed.
He in fact belonged to the entire world. His divine thinking encompassed each and every
animate/inanimate being of the cosmos. Even microbes, plants trees etc were not left
uninfluenced by his divine concern for them.

CHAPTER 54
HH BRAHMARSHI DEVRAHA BABA SARKAR’S HAND RAISED IN DIVINE
BLESSINGS
The Sanskrit word ‘Varadhast’ means hands that bestow blessings. But merely raising one’s
hands in Mudra of blessings cannot be called ‘Varadhast’. Those great saints who have the
capacity to bestow curses or boons (both ultimately bring in only well being) by raising their
hands can be called ‘Varadhast’ in the true sense of the term. In such hands potent divine
energy resides infinitely. When the bosom of great realized saints overflows with divine
compassion their hands perforce get raised in divine blessings so as to ward off the dark
clouds of danger looming large in one’s life. This can do nothing else but usher in well being
of just about everybody.
Sharda Prasad Dwivediji was a staunch devotee of HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar. He
was a manger of Sharda Motor Training School in Banaras. When for the first time he was
leaving for HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar’s sacred Darshan, he spoke to a boatman in
order to cross over to the other shore of River Gangaji. At that very moment a divine saint
possessing a deerskin came to him and said: Child! Do not go now. But the boatman on
seeing that he was losing his customer said immediately: Come along! I shall help you cross
this river in 10 minutes. Along with Sharda Prasad Dwivediji were present one of his sons
and an inspector friend too. All three of them sat in the boat and the boatman quickly started
rowing the boat. But the moment this boat reached midway in the river waters a terrible
storm erupted. Due to 2 very huge highrise waves the entire boat got filled with water. Thus
the boat would toss up very high and then get thrown down in the water. Thus everyone in
the boat felt that any moment death would engulf them all. Not only this but that icicles too
started falling down from the skies. Thus because along with water drops ice pebbles too fell
down it seemed akin to a well in front and a crater behind. If suppose they did not die due to
the boat drowning even so these ice pebbles would definitely kill them. Under such a
situation apart from humbly praying to God nothing else can be done by us humans. From
the boat HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba Sarkar’s loft could be seen. But due to fear of death
alongwith the boatman everyone was shivering in sheer fright. With such an anguished mind
Sharda Prasad Dwivediji cried out ‘Revered Baba! Please protect us’. As though HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba actually heard this fervent plea he came out of hs hut built on the
loft and while glancing at the boat in the river raised his divine hands in blessings bestowing
fearlessness or ‘Varadhast’ and kept it raised thus. The moment he raised his hand the speed
of the storm diminished a lot, the waves too cooled down and thus HH Brahmarshi Devraha
Baba’s divine grace helped us stave off the danger of our boat capsizing and drowning. But
yet the ice pebbles were pouring down as ferociously as before. All of us were dumbfounded
that not one ice pebble fell down into our boat whereas all around us ice pebbles were
147/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
covering every inch of land. The river shores appeared as though someone had covered the
land there with a snow white bed sheet. None of us actually realized how our boat reached
the other river shore. Within 10 minutes itself terrible ice rain fell down. The moment our
boat reached the other shore, this ice rain too stopped. Only with a very light storm it was
raining. We all were totally drenched with water and were shivering with cold. As soon as we
came in the divine presence of HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba we were dumbstruck that the
saint who had appeared in front of us previously stopping us from sailing in the boat was
none other than HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba. He scolded the boatman saying: When you
knew you could not steer the boat properly why did you ask these devotees to sit in the boat?
After this HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba gave us all Prasad and said: Child! Your Darshan is
over so you may go. We all started returning after taking Prasad but we did not have the
courage to again sit in the boat so as to cross over to the other shore of the river. Yet we then
told ourselves that when such an omnipotent Guru such as HH Brahmarshi Devraha Baba is
protecting us why fear such nature based calamities? Carrying with us his grace of courage
we all returned home.
After this incident Sharda Prasad Dwivediji became an unswerving devotee of HH
Brahmarshi Devraha Baba.

‘GURU PADA RAJA MRIDU MANJUL ANJAN’
(THE DUST OF THE SACRED FEET OF THE REVERED GURU WASHES AWAY
OUR SPIRITUAL IGNORANCE)
A devotee named Shatrughna Shukla time and again would come for HH Mahayogi Devraha
Baba Sarkar’s hallowed Darshan. He would always keep the sugar candy Prasad and sacred
dust of the hallowed feet of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar in his worship room. One
day he was sleeping in his house. At around midnight in his alleyway some noise was heard.
This noise slowly started increasing. Thus Shatrughna Shukla after coming out of his house
saw that a few people had gathered nearby. They had done so to find out why this noise was
being heard.
In reality the problem was that a woman in this area was being attacked by an evil
spirit/ghost and this ghost would utter foul language. Thus this lady had created a lot of chaos
there. In order to pacify her jumping, dancing etc movements, people were endeavoring a lot
yet they were failing to do so. In no way were they succeeding in controlling her. Suddenly
this devotee Shatrughna Shukla thought to himself that suppose the sacred dust of the
hallowed feet of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar is put into her mouth maybe he would
bless this lady. Due to some compassionate inspiration of some unknown power Shatrughna
Shukla went to his house and returned with the sacred dust of the hallowed feet of HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar. Hence quickly he put into the mouth of this lady some dust
of the feet and then sprinkled a bit of it on her body. In a few moments later this lady became
very quiet. Everyone present was very astounded and started asking Shatrughna Shukla as to
what type of Vibhooti was this that helped her become calm?
Thus devotee Shatrughna Shukla in detail described the miraculous glory of the sacred dust
or Vibhooti of the hallowed feet of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar. After this that entire
area became HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar’s devotees. After having his sacred
Darshan everyone glorified their lives.

CHAPTER 56
A DRIVER ALSO IS GIVEN DIVINE BLESSINGS BY HH BRAHMARSHI MAHAYOGI
DEVRAHA BABA
This incident took place after HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar shed his mortal coil. In
1991 AD HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar’s unswerving devotee Lala Pokharmalji Goyal
and his son Suresh Goyal residing in Rana Pratap Baug in New Delhi traveled by car to HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar’s hermitage with their driver Natthi and reached there at
about 11-12 am. At that time only I (Chote Maharajji) was present there. At that time Bade
Maharajji was living in solitude based cave in remote Himalaya Mountains to execute Yoga
practices. On hearing the sound of the vehicle I came out of my hut made of grass and leaves.
Below HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar’s loft I started conversing with devotee Lala
Pokharmalji Goyal and his son Suresh Goyal. We talked thus for about 1 hour.
In the meantime their driver Natthi started experiencing shooting pain in his tummy. Seated
in the car itself in agony he tossed and turned restlessly. In a short while he thought why not
go near HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar’s loft? Seeing that we three were immersed in
conversation he sat down at about a distance of 40 feet from where we were talking and
waited for us to finish our conversation. But when he just could not remain silent due to
excess pain in his tummy he walked to the base of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar’s loft,
picked up the sacred soil on the ground there and started rubbing it with his palms on his
tummy. After doing this for a few minutes he returned to their car. Due to the effect of that
sacred soil in just 10 minutes the intensity of this pain reduced a great deal which was quite
extraordinary. Now he could breathe a bit more calmly. He thought to himself why not carry
this miraculous soil home? He then did exactly this. He dug out some more soil from the loft
surroundings and put it in his pocket.
When after giving devotee Lala Pokharmalji Goyal and his son Suresh Goyal some Prasad I
gave them permission to leave I called driver Natthi also. After asking about his well being I
gave him also some Prasad before giving him also permission to leave. Without saying
anything he left. After returning to New Delhi driver Natthi placed the miraculous soil on his
worship dais. After about 4 days when he was sleeping in his house he heard the sound of a
small child crying aloud. Because of the painful cry of this child driver Natthi could not
sleep. He asked his wife as to what the problem was. His wife said that for the past 2 days
their neighbor’s son was crying continuously. He is not becoming quite at all. Hence driver
Natthi went to see the child and seeing its agony he remembered his own heart wrenching
pain experienced a few days back by him.
He thought to himself why not put some miraculous soil of Revered Baba’s loft surroundings
in the child’s mouth? Hence after bring this soil from his house he asked everyone to move
150/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
aside and then very lightly he massaged the body of the child with this miraculous soul.
Along with this driver Natthi chanted the following Super Mantra with devotion:
‘OM DEVRAHAYA DIGAMBARAYA MANCHASINAYA NAMO NAMAHA’
After this he returned to his house. Within aout 7 minutes only this child became very calm
and next day at about noon he slept very peacefully. In the meantime when Nathi was about
to leave for work in the morning his neighbors started honoring him thinking that he had
mastered some sacred Super Mantra. After about 3 days people would approach driver Natthi
thinking that he would solve their various health financial and other problems. Hence he
explained to all about the miraculous soil of Revered Baba’s loft. He explained to them that
his boss Lala Pokharmalji Goyal is a stauch devotee of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar
and he goes regularly to the latter’s sacred tombstone. It is from there that driver Natthi
explained he brought this miraculous soil. I personally know nothing else apart from the fact
that the miracle you all saw was that of this holy soil and that I individually possess no divine
powers or Ridhi-sidhis.

THE OMNISCIENT OR ALL KNOWING SAINT
Devotee Tiwariji resided in a village 1km away from Vasantpur Malmaliya Road in Siwan
district. One day his child Munna who had gone out did not return home. It became dusk
while searching everywhere for him. His mother cried and cried desperately. In the evening
when Tiwariji returned home from work his mouth dried up in fear on hearing this news and
his wife moaning sorrowfully thus. He thus took his cycle and searched here and there. It
became very late at night yet there was no clue about the whereabouts of their child. About 5
days passed by thus. In these 5 days Tiwariji searched nearby villages, towns and a couple of
cities too as much as possible. Yet he failed to find his child. His state was akin to a man
distraught due to undergoing bankruptcy. He found no solace at all whether in eating food,
sleeping or just about anything else. His inner soul kept crying in sheer pain and the
Bhagwad Geeta verse ‘karmanyevadhikaraste ma faleshu kadachana’ which means that ‘a
living being has the right only to execute any action but he has no right over the fruits of
these actions kept looming in his mind. When he saw defeat in all directions he reached the
sacred shelter of Yoga Yogeshwar Ashtang Yoga Sidha Sanatan Dharma’s very foundation
HH Brahmarshi Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar dwelling on his loft on the River Saryu
banks. At that time this great saint was residing there. HH Brahmarshi Mahayogi Devraha
Baba Sarkar heard Tiwariji saying his son cannot be found for so many days. Hence HH
Brahmarshi Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar smilingly spoke in such a way as though he
already knew about Tiwariji not finding his son and that he knew where his son was. HH
Brahmarshi Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar said: Child! Do not get scared. Your son is safe
and fine. He shall definitely return home. My limitless blessings are with you. Now you may
leave and your well being is definite. After HH Brahmarshi Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar
gave him Prasad Tiwariji took it home but despite this a week passed by without the son
returning home. Again Tiwariji came to HH Brahmarshi Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar’s
sacred Darshan in a very inner agitated state and again repeated his agony to the great Baba.
HH Brahmarshi Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar said: Child! You must be patient and very
calm. No task can be achieved by becoming agitated and turmoiled in mind. Bide some more
time. My divine vision rests subtly on your child. Due to my grace he is well secure and
definitely shall return home. Now do leave as per my command. Tiwariji although
dissatisfied returned home mentally accompanied by HH Brahmarshi Mahayogi Devraha
Baba Sarkar’s speech of divine blessings. In this manner 1 more week passed by. One day
suddenly Tiwariji’s son Munna got down from a truck on Malmiya Road and started walking
towards his home. His age at that time was about 12 years. The news of his reaching home
safely spread like wildfire in the entire village. Everyone was happy with amazement. His
mother’s condition was the same as when she heard the news of her son not returning home.
She embraced him in her arms lovingly and started crying in sheer joy. It seemed to her that
152/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
she again found that very thing very dear to her that she had lost previously. A little later the
child entered their house. Over there he saw a photo on the worship dais. He asked his father
as to whose photo it was. Tiwariji said it was that of HH Brahmarshi Mahayogi Devraha
Baba Sarkar’s. For a couple of minutes with sheer devotion the child bowed down to his
photo with joined palms and then said to his father: Father! It is due to the grace of this great
saint in the photo that I escaped from the dire clutches of a begging ascetic who had taken me
away with him. In the afternoon I was soaking the sun on the road nearby. I then met a
begging ascetic. I was absolutely alone. He gave me something to eat and when I ate it I
became unconscious. I was able to walk etc but the moment I tried to speak my tongue would
get twisted. He made me climb with him in a bus and at a very long distance away from our
home he locked me in a room. He was either an Aghori or Tantrik and he desired to keep me
with him by force as his disciple. He would lock me in this room and go away somewhere.
Suddenly one day this very great saint HH Brahmarshi Mahayogi Devraha Baba opened the
lock of this room and helped me come out of this room. The moment he touched me I got
back my power of speech. I started walking away with him. In a few minutes he led me to a
small hamlet where in a shop he bought food for me to eat. Since I now ate a proper
sumptuous meal I started regaining my lost energy. He told the shopkeeper: This child has
lost his way. In a short while a truck shall come that is heading for Chapra. Tell the truck
owner in it to allow this child to travel with them. This truck shall drop the child near his
village. His parents are very worried and anguished. In this manner you shall accrue true well
being. The shopkeeper after bowing down to HH Brahmarshi Mahayogi Devraha Baba
agreed to obey his command and then the great saint went away. In a short while a truck
arrived that was heading to Chapra. It is this truck that dropped me at Malmaliya Road. After
hearing their child speak thus his family members and neighbors shed tears of devotional
faith.
Next day all of them together went to have HH Brahmarshi Mahayogi Devraha Baba
Sarkar’s holy Darshan. The moment they arrived HH Brahmarshi Mahayogi Devraha Baba
Sarkar seated on his loft said: Say dear devotee? You did find your child didn’t you? He just
got saved from becoming a disciple of a beggar ascetic. Both father and son along with
others in their group reverently fell full length in devoted prostrations, at the holy feet of HH
Brahmarshi Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar. The great saint in turn smiling joyously gave all
of them a lot of Prasad and gave them permission to return home.
A very similar type of incident had taken place with Vasantpur high school’s teacher
Vaijnath Singhji too. His son who had got lost returned home only due to HH Brahmarshi
Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar’s holy grace.

CHAPTER 58
A TRUE SAINT IS IDENTIFIED ONLY VIA THE GREAT SACRED INNER QUALITIES
HE POSSESSES
Devotee Vanmali Bannerjee resided in Bhagalpur. One day he went to have the holy Darshan
of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar. He sat in front of Revered Baba’s loft at some
distance. It is well known that Revered Shyamcharan Lahiriji during his stay in Banaras off
and on came for the holy Darshan of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar on the other shore
of Assi Ghat. Vanmali Bannerjee was Revered Shyamcharan Lahiriji disciple. When seeing
Vanmali Bannerjee seated in front of him HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar quite naturally
asked: Say devotee! What all are you doing now a days? He replied that yes something or the
other happens. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar again asked: Can you show me the Kriya
(spiritual practice)? He begged forgiveness saying that his Guru forbade him to show it to
others. He said his Guru’s command was not to exhibit to anyone outside the circle of
devotees doing spiritual practice under their Guru’s tutelage. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba
Sarkar smiling a wee bit kept quiet. Then very shortly HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar
gave Prasad to everyone and bidthem all goodbye. Vanmali Bannerjee inwardly was in
confusion that since HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar is a super great saint was it right or
wrong on his part to have answered him thus. That very night Vanmali Bannerjee got a
dream that Revered Shyamcharan Lahiriji was sitting in one of the rooms in his house and he
is explaining to Vanmali Bannerjee that Kriya all over again. Mentally Vanmali Bannerjee
felt it was good that Gurudeva taught it to him again because he was practicing this Kriya
with a few mistakes enmeshed in it. In the meantime his son came and said that a divine saint
has appeared at their doorstep. Revered Shyamcharan Lahiriji told him to offer humble
obeisances at the feet of the saint and bring him inside the room. The saint who came was
none other than HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar. Revered Shyamcharan Lahiriji after
reverently bowing down to HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar requested him to sit by his
side. In between all this Vanmali Bannerjee who was showcasing certain Yogic Kriyas to his
Gurudeva Revered Shyamcharan Lahiriji so that the latter could correct mistakes that had
crept in it, stopped doing so. Gurudeva Revered Shyamcharan Lahiriji said as to why he
stopped doing the Yogic Kriyas. Do continue exhibiting them! You must not perceive even
an iota of a difference in me and HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar. In fact yesterday itself
he had asked you to exhibit these Yogic Kriyas only so as to rectify errors that had crept in
them but out of deluded indolence you got immersed in the darkness of spiritual ignorance.
On hearing Gurudeva Revered Shyamcharan Lahiriji light chiding Vanmali Bannerjee deeply
and clearly realized the divine greatness of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar. Now he
again exhibited these Yogic Kriyas without erring even once. Since his errors had been
washed away he now imbibed deeply the correct method of doing them. Immediately after
this he came out of his dream and now Vanmali Bannerjee inwardly felt very restless since
154/168

he understood the meaning of this dream. He had previously not understood such a
supremely great saint as HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar.
In the morning after bathing he appeared in front of HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar for
holy Darshan albeit with a mind full of regret. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar after
bathing in the river carrying a deerskin swiftly headed for his hut and entered it. After
sometime he came out of his hut. With tears of heartfelt repentance Vanmali Bannerjee
prayerfully said: Please do forgive me and do bless me. I have now realized my folly. Please
forgive this servant of yours. HH Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar said: Do calm down my
child! Do not become agitated. Tell me everything. Vanmali Bannerjee prayerfully said: O
Revered Baba! I have come here to show you the Yogic Kriyas I carry out. HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba Sarkar said: Child! Do not worry because I have already seen it. Now
everything has been rectified so there is no need to demonstrate it. Vanmali Bannerjee was
dumbstruck that truly both Gurudeva Revered Shyamcharan Lahiriji and HH Mahayogi
Devraha Baba Sarkar had seen him do these Yogic Kriyas in his dream last night. HH
Mahayogi Devraha Baba Sarkar later after giving Prasad entered his hut. Vanmali Bannerjee
kept thinking mentally that in reality how compassionate are self realized saints without any
rhyme or reason to do so. They devoid of any disparity or inequality based thinking think
only about the all round well being of the entire world. An ordinary creature does not even
have the capacity to attain the divine grace of such true selfless divine saints.

CHAPTER 59
HH MAHAYOGI DEVRAHA BABA SARKAR WAS AS MAGNANIMOUS AS
MAHARSHI BHRIGU OF YORE
How difficult it is to attain the Brahmarshi title is known well by those people who have
heard regarding Vishwamitraji. He had renounced wife, children, home, family,
householder’s way of life etc along with his kingdom that he was ruling. Instead by doing
austerities for thousands of years in order to attain the state of Brahminhood also in turn
satisfied Brahmaji the creator of this world. Despite this Brahmaji did not anoint
Vishwamitraji with the title of Brahmarshi. He left it to Vasishthaji to do so. The day
Vasishthaji called Vishwamitraji as Brahmarshi, from that day he was totally accepted as one
by all and sundry. It means that if merely one Self/God Realized saint says so one becomes a
true Brahmarshi. A similar type of incident can be read in the epic Mahabharat. A boy called
Matang in order to attain the title of Brahmarshi did some rare difficult penance. This boy
was born in the womb of a Brahmin mother and the father was a barber. Despite this king of
heaven Indra said that this boy Matang could not be given the title of Brahmarshi. But the
boy refused to budge. King of heaven Indra gave Darshan to Matang many times and asked
him to accept a boon. After being convinced with much coaxing Matang accepted the boon
of gaining the capacity to travel by air everywhere. Thus he now stopped executing such
difficult austerities. Along with bestowing this boon King of heaven Indra being pleased
rendered Matang the revered demigod of women called Chandodev. No doubt he became
Chandodev but failed to attain the title of Brahmarshi. At the other end from well known
legends we come to know that it is not difficult at all to attain the title of Brahmarshi from
another true Brahmarshi.
King Haihaya the son of King Vatsa had another name called Vitahavya. He had 10 queens
and 100 sons. All of these sons were very valiant. All of them lived in their kingdom in
blissful joy. They lacked just about nothing.
During those times itself, in the region of Kashi the grandfather of the highly renowned King
Divodas called King Haryashwa was ruling the kingdom. Amongst victorious valiant kings
he was considered supreme. The 100 sons of King Vitahavya prosperous from all standpoints
attacked the kingdom of King Haryashwa. They killed King Haryashwa in this battle and
after waving their flag of victory returned to their kingdom. After King Haryashwa died thus
his son Sudev was anointed king of Kashi. After a very short time span the 100 sons of King
Vitahavya fought a battle with King Sudev also so as to defeat him also. Thus on the
battlefield even King Sudev passed away. After King Sudev his son Divodas was anointed
king of Kashi. King of heaven Indra ordered him to establish the city of Varanasi. King
Divodas did exactly this. At that time Varanasi spread out from the northern shores of River
Ganga to the southern shores of River Gomati. But 100 sons of King Vitahavya attacked
156/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
King Divodas also. Hence King Divodas alongwith his army came out to fight this battle
which was akin to the ghory bloody battle between demigods and demons. This battle lasted
for 2 years, 9 months and 10 days. Since chariots, elephants, horses, soldiers etc got totally
destroyed King Divodas perforce had to run away from this bloody battle. With hands joined
in prayer he took shelter of his royal priest Muni Bharadwaj. The latter offered great respect
and honor to King Divodas and said: O great pious king! Why have you come here? Tell me
all that you want and desire. I shall definitely fufill all tasks dear to you. The king said: O my
Lord! You are my revered Gurudeva and hence do bless me. In my royal clan I am the lone
survivor. The sons of King Vitahavya have destroyed just about everything I possessed.
Hence Muni Bharadwaj presided over a Putreshti Yajna in his hermitage so that King
Divodas could sire a son. Hence a son called Pratardan was born to him and the child was
full of all round great characteristics. Due to the grace of Muni Bharadwaj the moment
Pratardan was born he took the form of a 13 year old boy. King Divodas anointed him as his
royal heir apparent. Inwardly he understood that it was but the sheer grace of his Guru Muni
Bharadwaj that he sired such a powerful prince as Pratardan. He had the power of destroying
the 100 sons of King Vitahavya.
After taking commands from his father that great powerful Prince Pratardan attacked King
Vitahavya’s capital city. Both sides fought a bloody ghastly battle. In this battle all 100 sons
of King Vitahavya entered the jaws of death.
On hearing this news King Vitahavya leaving his city ran away to Maharshi Bhrigu’s
hermitage. The latter allowed the king to stay with him. In the meantime Prince Pratardan
following King Vitahavya reached Maharshi Bhrigu’s hermitage. He told all hermitage
residents to convey to Maharshi Bhrigu his arrival at the hermitage. He said he would like to
have the holy Darshan of Maharshi Bhrigu. On hearing about the arrival of Prince Pratardan
at the hermitage Maharshi Bhrigu came out of his hut and asked Prince Pratardan the reason
of his arrival there. The prince said: Maharshi! King Vitahavya is hiding in your hermitage.
He is reeking mentally with the arrogant ego of his might. His 100 sons had destroyed our
city and entire clan. Although I have killed all of them yet the arrogant King Vitahavya
remains to be killed. By killing him I would like to repay the debt I owe to my revered father.
Maharshi Bhrigu heart overflowed with compassion and said: Prince Pratardan! There is no
Kshatriya (of soldier class) in my hermitage. Overhere reside only Brahmins. On hearing
these words of Maharshi Bhrigu Prince Pratardan was overjoyed and after respectfully
touching the sacred feet of Maharshi Bhrigu said: O Lord! I indeed experience self fulling
glory. Out of fear towards me not only has the residence of King Vitahavya changed but that
his caste too has changed. Hence O Brahmarshi! Do think about my well being also.
Bhrugorvachan matrena sa cha brahmarshitam gataha.
Vitahavya maharaj brahmavaditva meva cha.
157/168
SHRI DEVRAHA BABA LILA DARSHAN
In this manner King Vitahavya merely via the speech of Maharshi Bhrigu got the title of
Brahmarshi and also attained God Realization.
Thus the lineage that followed in King Vitahavya’s clan was no longer Kshatriyas but had
now become Brahmins. Further in his lineage was born Shaunak Muni who as a scriptural
scholar became well recognized.
From the above incidences related by us found in Indian scriptures we can deeply understand
the great glory of Brahmarshi title. That title which cannot be bestowed even by King of
heaven Indra, Brahmaji the creator etc can be easily attained merely by the speech full of
divine blessings uttered by great self realized saints and masters who have attained eternal
God vision.

ATTAINING ALMIGHTY GOD
‘Mantra chanting or Japa’ is that first very important step which on fructifying becomes the
cause of attaining Almighty God’s divine grace. This grace of Almighty God leads the living
being to the second step of attaining God or divine cosmic consciousness which is immersing
oneself in ‘sacred selfless tasks’. When both ‘Mantra chanting or Japa’ and ‘sacred selfless
tasks’ bear fruits the third step is experienced called ‘self knowledge’. When ‘self
knowledge’ is attained the sense of duality in our psyche gets uprooted. Thus a sense of soul
oneness with the entire world dawns and one merges with God or divine cosmic
consciousness. Now the living being gets catapulted to the fourth step of ‘attaining Almighty
God’. After reaching this great inner state the living being never returns to this material
world of bondage and spiritual ignorance. When ever such souls who are one with Almighty
God come again to planet earth then after reinstating sacred righteousness, human values and
lofty sacred ideals again via their divine wisdom, devotion to Almighty God and pious
actions get immersed in God or divine cosmic consciousness (Brahmaleen).
On the 1st step the living being latched on to devotion to god and on the 4th step God merged
the living being into his divine cosmic consciousness.
MERE ONE SINGLE DIVINE TEACHING FROM A GREAT GOD REALIZED GURU
CAN OPEN UP ALL KNOTS/COMPLEXES RELATED RIGHTEOUSNESS, DIVINE
KNOWLEDGE AND GOD ATTAINMENT
(LIVING BEING + DEVOTION TO GOD)
THAT LEADS TO (ACTION,

ONE MESSAGE FOR INDIAN CITIZENS
Today there is a dire need for Indians to imbibe their own culture instead of following
western culture. Westerners are very much reinstated in their own culture. Thus we must also
learn to remain firmly rooted in our culture. No culture can advance aptly if it immerses itself
in vain dancing-singing, living dirtily (lethargy in bathing regularly) and by wearing
abnormal type of clothing carrying out undesirable actions. Lest westerners have developed
highly on the financial and economic front it is because of their hard work. Beloved Indians!
If you wish to learn something from westerners then by giving up lethargy learn to carry out
your righteous duties in life and certainly do not imbibe their foolish behavior and activities.
It is painful to note in today’s contemporary times that our youth looking upon western
country’s advancement as a result of their stupidities are immersed in imbibing them. Lest
anyone possessed the infinite vault of flowers of true culture (encompassing truth, non
violence, integrity, valor, love for righteousness, daring, believing in oneness of all world
religions, pious character, marrying only one husband or one wife, surrendering to Almighty
God, welcoming and lovingly serving guests, remaining steadfast in one’s righteous duties
etc) it was present only in India. Today much more than economic advancement is the dire
need for ethical advancement which previously was synonymous with India’s identity.
Material wealth is very much dependent on such divine qualities.
If India today is considered poor there is no need to fear. Some greedy elements by deluding
the brains of our countrymen in various ways are madly rushing towards attaining authority
and power. Their goal merely involves fraud, wiliness, hard heartedness and by hook or by
crook latch on to authority and power. Thus their arrogant ego and deep pockets get filled to
the brim via oppression and suppression of the lay public. The day the divinely
compassionate Lord who chose to incarnate in our land India shall give us a true devoteeruler that very day onwards our grandeur shall render heaven also pale. That person whose
blood does not boil when dire situations are faced by our cows, righteous duty, Almighty
God, Indian women and our country India can never be called a true Hindu at all. Only he
can be called a true Hindu who for the protection of the above cuts up the noose of deluded
mental attachment so that for this divine mission he smilingly sacrifices his very life.
