One day in 1956 Kehar Singh ji invited Maharaj to eat at his house in Allahabad. Baba said, "I
shall eat at your house tomorrow evening."
When Kehar Singh ji got home, he told his wife that Baba was coming the
next day and asked her to prepare food for two extra people. His wife
prepared two vegetable dishes ahead of time and prepared everything for
the puris in order to make them fresh later.
Kehar Singh ji
bought sweets from the market, and then he himself went to Sudhir
Mukerjee's house in Colonelganj to escort Baba. About ten people came
with them.
As soon as Baba got into the house, he asked for food. Kehar Singh ji
served him a plate containing two hot puris,
vegetables, and sweets. Baba said, "Serve food to all."
Kehar Singh ji was in a fix, but he put nine plates and small bowls in
the kitchen and told his wife what Baba had commanded. She was
perturbed because it would not be acceptable if food was not served to
everyone, but her husband had only asked her to cook for two people.
Since there was not enough time to prepare more food, she left the
kitchen in a state of helplessness. Kehar Singh ji asked their servant
to cook food and start frying puris with the
dough that was
already there. Kehar Singh ji started serving food in the outer room.
The food automatically increased to such an extent that everyone had as
much prasad as they could eat. There was even
food leftover for the family members.
