Once, Bhagwati Sevak Bajpai, Girish Chandra Joshi, and a personal assistant
to a senior official were with Baba at Sarsaiyya Ghat, Kanpur, when
Baba got a boat called to ferry them to a dry island in the middle of
the Ganges. The assistant told Baba that it was not safe to go to the
island, as bootleggers ran their illegal winemaking operation from
there. Baba did not listen to him. When they approached the island, the
bandits drew their guns and loudly asked who was approaching. Baba
answered in a thundering voice, "Baba."
By the time
they reached the island, all the scoundrels were calm. Baba went to
fulfil the call of nature, and after resting for some time, he said,
"Girish is on a fast today. He is hungry. Go and borrow a lota
full of milk from Mother Ganga and give it to him to drink." The
assistant brought a lota full of Ganges water as
instructed, and it turned into delicious milk, which Girish drank.
