Late
one evening Sri Ma and Sri Jivanti Ma and some other women devotees
arrived in Kainchi for Baba's darshan.
Baba was not there; he had gone to Bhumiadhar. There were no buses at
that time to return to Nainital or to travel to Bhumiadhar. However,
Sri Ma and Sri Jivanti Ma decided to go and see Baba.
They did not take prasad at Kainchi ashram
because both Mothers ate only after having Maharaj ji's darshan.
They decided to walk the twelve kilometers to Bhumiadhar in the
darkness of night on that lonely deserted road. As they started on
their way, a black dog appeared out of the darkness and accompanied
them as if he was there for their protection. When they arrived at
Bhumiadhar at midnight, Sri Ma thought of giving the dog some food.
Almost in an instant the dog disappeared and could not be found
anywhere.
Before Sri Ma and Sri Jivanti Ma arrived, Maharaj ji
had asked Brahmachari ji to prepare food for them. Brahmachari ji
waited outside the temple to greet them, and as soon as they arrived,
they had Maharaj ji's darshan. He praised them
for their devout fervor and said, "When you have started
on the path to God, proceed, do not stop. He will take care of you."
He then asked them to go and have prasad.
