Kumbh Stories

Pilot Baba

The above pic is of famed Pilot Baba whom I met during Kumbh. Most of his disciples are from Japan and he is pretty popular over there. And, I must admit that that the man has a charisma. I was fortunate enough that he gave me 30 minutes and i tried to learn about spirituality. Tried.....i said....just tried.

Unknown Baba

I was hugely impressed by this sadhu. His eyes spoke and his tongue didn't uttered a word. The pic is not clear as his disciples didn't allow us to take one. But somehow i managed. All of his disciples, just 4 in number,smoked Gaanja (cannabis) but this sadhu didn't. There was such a holy and innocence look in his eyes and face that i couldn't take my gaze away from him. When i touched his feet he just blessed me by showing his hand and with twinkle in his eyes. 8 years on i a not able to forget his twinkle. Great soul....he must have been. I attended the next Kumbh in 2019 but i couldn't find him.

110 years old Baba

This Baba from Varanasi claimed to be 110 years old. And i believed him.  He was fit and fine and ate only green veegies once a day.
