The
Maharaja of Vijayanagaram and Devkamta Dixit ji were both on the board
of directors of Prem Lal's paper mill. They were also good friends, so
when the Maharaja passed away, Dixit ji wanted to go to Varanasi to
offer his condolences to the family. However, he hesitated to do so
since he had not met them before. After a few days Baba came to his
house and said, "You didn't go to Varanasi?"
Dixit ji explained the difficulty. Baba said, "Come,
I'll go too. I'll also let you have Shankar's [Lord
Shiva's] darshan."
When they arrived at the Maharaja's mansion in Varanasi, Baba said, "Don't
take the car inside. I'll go to the temple of Sankat Mochan Hanuman."
Dixit ji was surprised that Baba was changing the program without any
apparent reason. Instead of meeting the family or going to the
Vishwanath (Lord Shiva) temple, they went to the Hanuman temple. When
they arrived, Dixit ji saw that the family of the Maharaja had also
come to the temple for darshan. All of them
received Baba warmly and took him to their mansion with great love and
reverence.
