One of my friends is advocate in High Court. Once this man and Baba were in a room at his first visit. Baba asked him, “Why should one chant, ‘Shri Ram Jay Ram’?”. Baba repeated same chanting after few minutes. The advocate realized that his guru has given him this “Mantra” and Baba is asking him to follow the same.
Once a man from Thane visited Baba and Baba told him to worship “Maruti”, He could not understand the meaning of His order. When he went home someone asked him whether he worships ‘Maruti’. He told, ‘Yes. There is temple of Panchamukhi Hanuman near my house, and without worshipping him, I do not take food”. That means Baba has supported firmly his worship of “Hanuman”. Baba had no separate mission or organization. He used to firm up one’s faith in whom one worships. People from various religions, different faiths used to approach Him, but He never used to change one’s faith. But when somebody misses his path of worship, Baba used to bring him back on his faith. Everybody has experienced that Baba used to help each one in his practice whether ‘Yoga’, ‘Karma’, ‘Dhyan’, or ‘Path’
Once my friend visited Baba and Baba called him, “Welcome Ramdas”. Initially he could not find any reason; but suddenly he found out the reason and told, “For last two years I have been chanting Ram naam; but nobody knows about it, not even my family members”. Obviously, Maharaj had indicated the same thing.
