Chapter – 11

Lokenathji settled in the Ashram in Bar0di, Sonargaon Upazila, in Narayanganj District.  This Asham was built by a respectable person and it was meticulously followed all the spiritual rites and fire sacrifices.  Babaji spends hours and hours imparting knowledge on scriptures to the people of this village.  One day Babaji instructed his disciple to rush to the shore of Ganga, to receive two holy men to Ashram; it was Bijoy Krishna Goswami and his disciple who witnessed the great Baba Lokenath who is beyond religion or form.  After witnessing the serene form of Babaj, he forgot his hunger and tiredness, he was fed by Lokenathji.

There was a grand feast organized in the Ashram for serving villagers.  There were many disciples and devotees of Baba Lokenathji were present to partake the meal, suddenly a dog entered from nowhere in the kitchen and put its mouth in the food which was kept for serving the villagers, one of the organizers Madhu  took a wooden stick and bet the dog ruthlessly.  It ran off from his sight and disappeared.  Madhu who was taking care of the feast came to Babaji’s chamber and complaint that the dog spoiled the meal and he also conveyed the message that he did not leave the dog like that, Babaji said, “ Yeah I know, You bet the dog at your heart's content.” Madhu was surprised to hear Babaji who removed his upper cloth and showed the bruises on his upper back.   People assembled were shocked and felt awful. Babaji smiled and said, “You bet me very badly indeed.” Madhu felt terribly guilty and fallen at the feet of Babaji who advised him to “control your anger; otherwise, it will kill a person.”
