Pandit Shankar Prasad Vyas was
speaking about the characteristics of Hanuman ji to a gathering in a
large pavilion at the sangam
in Allahabad. Maharaj stood behind the gathering and listened to Vyas'
discourse. When it ended, Baba called a devotee and asked him to fetch
Vyas. The devotee gave Baba's message to Vyas who said, "Who? Baba
Nibkarori? I have no time." The devotee stared at Vyas in disbelief. He
was horrified by such curt behavior towards Baba. Dudhari Baba, who was
present on the dais, said something to Vyas that made him accompany the
devotee to Baba. Baba said, "You have become such a big
man that you have not time?" Vyas was stunned to hear
his words. As Baba was walking away, he turned back to Vyas and said, "Prabhudutt
is coming by car. Tell him that I will not go."
Vyas looked around. Two minutes later he saw a car stop at a distance.
Prabhudutt Brahmachari ji, a well-known and highly respected holy man,
got out. He had seen Baba, and as soon as he got out of the car, he
started doing dandavat pranaam (full-length
prostrations) all
the way until he reached Baba's feet. Vyas held Brahmachari ji in high
regard, so his reverence for Baba made him realise Baba's greatness.
Vyas regretted his earlier behavior and later accepted an invitation
from Baba to come to Kainchi in the summer.
