never!." Then he said "Come mother, I will take you on a tirth, to Khandobaji's mandir." He took us all around, and he kept looking back at me and asking "Mother are you ok?"
He told me that he had just come from Haridwar that morning, and was returning the next day to Rishikesh. I told him that when he went back to please give my pranams to his Guruji. He said that "you have given your pranams, and they have already been received by this Guruji." I thanked him, and then went around Khandobaji's mandir, and the young saint took us around till 11 at night on foot. At eleven, he told me that I should head back now. I said my pranams and took my maid and her niece and fed them in a coffee shop.
I got into bed, still wearing the white shirt and skirt I had been wearing throughout the day. In the morning, when I got up about six, I noticed that there was roli and kum kum on my shirt, and even in my sleeve. I ran to my maid and asked her and her niece if they had the same colour on their clothes.
They said no. I was confused as to where it had come from. It seemed like some one had sprayed me with a pichkari from the front, (whereas no one had actually done so) and there was not a spot on the back. This was Babaji's prasad, the amazing factor was that the young saint talked just like Guruji. Most surprising was the fact that the young saint chose us from a crowd of hundreds of devotees in Shirdi. This was our Gurudeva's grace in the form of intervention.
Once when I was chanting the Namokar on Thursday, it seemed like someone was standing next to me, a huge rishi, taller that 6 feet, with really long arms, and a deep voice was chanting with us. I asked Guruji who he was, and he replied he was Baba Kashiramji.
