soon disappeared. With a gift and in deep emotion he made his way to the Hoti camp
and on see Baba Ji, his saviour, he kneeled down and placed the gift at their feet and
then with his hand placed the dust from Baba Ji’s feet on his forehead and then sat
near by and told Baba Ji of the whole episode and began to praise them.

and do good deeds, make this life of yours worth while as this human life is not easily
achieved. The Creator and Destroyer has now blessed you by increasing your life;

Seth Ganpat Rai Cured
In Baba Ji’s time there was a man by the name of Seth Ganpat Rai. It just so happened
that from some bad action he had committed from his previous life had come back
around to him in this life in the form of paralysis, leaving all of one side of his body

that he might be able to help turn around the illness and save Ganpats Rai’s life.
The family made preparations to go and see him as he was probably the only chance

by destroying his illness and save his life. At that moment Baba Ji who knew each and
