Suraj Narayan's seven-year-old son, Gopal, went to Varanasi with his uncle
Daya Narayan Mehrotra and a young servant named Lala and stayed at the
home of the Maharaja of Vijayanagaram. There were communal riots in
Varanasi at the time, and a curfew was in operation. During the night
the two boys contracted a high fever. Daya Narayan was very anxious,
for there was no possibility of treatment. They were surprised to
receive a parcel the next day with only a flower inside. The sender's
name written on the parcel was Baba Nibkarori. Daya Narayan put some
petals from the flower on Lala's forehead and the remaining flower on
Gopal's chest. Doing this caused the two children's fever to come down.
