During the time that Hanumanghar was under construction, the owner of Bijnor Sugar Mills, Seth Kundan Lal, came with Trilokinath Brijbal of Mathura for Baba's darshan. Baba was in deep meditation,
and the
devotees around him were singing devotional songs. When Baba started
talking to the visitors, Seth Kundan Lal invited him to his house for a
meal. When Baba accepted his invitation, Kundan Lal asked Baba what he
would like to eat. Baba said, "Missi roti
[bread made from wheat and chick pea flour] and
dal [lentil soup]."
Kundan Lal did not like Baba's choice, so he said, "I will get malpua
[sweet fried bread] and kheer [rice pudding]
prepared. Please come tomorrow." Baba said, "Okay. Get malpua
and kheer prepared. Dogs will be fed. Now go, it
is late."
The next day Kundan Lal got malpua and kheer
made in large quantities and invited many people for the occasion. It
was raining heavily, and the car that he sent to collect Baba broke
down on the way. When it finally arrived, Baba could not be found. All
the people in Kundan Lal's house were waiting for Baba. Meanwhile two
dogs got into the kitchen and proceeded to eat the malpua
and kheer.
