What about the name of Maharaj-ji? The name Neem Karoli Baba is a misnomer. It seems to have begun in the 60s among Western Devotees. Baba's name is really Neeb Karori Baba. The Web site for Sri Neeb Karori Baba, launched Basant Panchami Bhandara (13th Feb 2005) at Vrindavan, can be found here. When Maharaj-ji was born in Akbarpur, He was given the name Laxshmi Narayan Sharma. His name Neeb Karori Baba or Baba Neeb Karori comes from the village of Neeb Karori, in Uttar Pradesh. When He was in Neeb Karori He was called Laxsman Das. It appears that Maharaj-ji has been referred to by many names. All names of Maharaj-ji are always treated with the utmost respect by all guru brothers and sisters. |
