Maharaj-ji
established at least 108 temples, fed millions of people, advised
government and corporate leaders, performed what can be called
Miracles, influenced current American and Indian society, brought grace
into the lives of countless suffering people, and all the while
remained out of the "public eye."
It
is believed that by the time Maharaj-ji was 17 years old He knew
EVERYTHING. This is to be taken to mean a knowing that is actually
incomprehensible to you and me. A knowing that is all. The knowing of
Bhagvan. The knowing of God. There are stories contained in this
website and in the books referred to herein that hope to in some way
help to tell of the Grace and Love of this truly remarkable being.
Maharaj-ji had nothing and Maharaj-ji had everything.
In
the late 60's an American known as Baba Ram Dass authored books telling
of Neem Karoli Baba and hundreds of westerners went for Maharaj-ji's
darshan. Maharaj-ji was elusive as the stories tell, but many were
allowed to be in His presence and they tell stories that are a
wonderment of love and grace and lilas and mostly awe.
Now,
there appears to be three Maharaj-ji's. One is the historical
Maharaj-ji. This Maharaj-ji seems to have taken birth and lived a
"traceable" life in time. Secondly, there is the "formless" Maharaj-ji.
This Maharaj-ji is the Maharaj-ji that we apparently connect with on
our "inner" dimension. Thirdly, there is the Maharaj-ji that exists in
form "now"; the Maharaj-ji who is reported seen and experienced; the
Maharaj-ji who never actually died. This is Maharaj-ji who is a
"time-traveler". We are just beginning to learn about that Maharaj-ji
and some of His effects in the world.
Maharaj-ji
taught many people. These teachings continue today. The teaching was
very subtle or literally a knock on the head. Maharaj-ji's teachings
seem to have been totally individual. Each devotee would have the
answer or the help they needed in the way that was best suited to their
needs. When devotees remembered Him, Maharaj-ji would rush to them to
help and protect them. This seems to be going on to this day.
Maharaj-ji
seems to be continually visiting people and helping them since He "left
His body" in Vrindaban in 1973. One devotee said that he thought the
greatest miracle was what Maharaj-ji has done since then. Maharaj-ji
has visited, helped, guided, fed, and called into service so many in
the last twenty-five years. Maharaj-ji never went away. For this we can
be grateful.
