One evening in 1973, after traveling in the hills of Uttarakhand, Swami
Chidananda, head of the Shivananda ashram in Rishikesh, came to Kainchi
with some devotees for Maharaj's darshan. Swami
ji wrote:
"The revered Baba Nibkarori was seated on a cot, wrapped in a simple
blanket. He received me and my party with a very kind and benign look
and motioned us to take our seats on the carpet spread near a cot. I
knelt down beside the cot and paid my homage, laying my head upon his
lap, where he had tucked up his foot, being seated cross-legged."
Shri
Yogesh Bahuguna, who came with Swami ji, had brought eight oranges to
offer to Baba. He put them in an empty basket near the cot, and after
conversing for a little while, Baba distributed those oranges as prasad.
By this time some devotees and workers in the ashram had gathered at
the door. The visitors were astonished to see that Baba had given an
orange to each of the eighteen people present. Swami ji wrote, "From
where the additional oranges came into the basket is something we could
not explain. Perhaps only Baba ji knows this."
