Chapter – 8

During Narmada Parikrama, Balanandji had witnessed many miracles of Ma Narmada.  Many a time, her Abhayahastha protected him from death.  Once Balanandji arrived in Kamakhya Theerth, he had Dharshan of Ma Kamakhya and spent several days in the hills situated close to this shrine and engaged in spiritual practices.  He visited various sacred shrines close to this place, he had an attack of small-pox, he was severely ill and became too weak.  He was completely immersed in the meditation, at this moment a divine girl child appeared before him and said “ Babaji, you don’t worry, you will not die, you have to leave this place immediately.” Saying so, the girl child disappeared from his sight.  Balanandji had fallen in deep sleep.  The next day when he opened his eyes, he was all fine but too tired to walk around.  He managed to arrive near a well, the people assembled were poured water on Balanandji, and it gave relief from his trouble of small-pox.  He was too hungry, but he was not in a position to consume the meal, one pious man cooked Kichadi for Balanandji, he consumed the meal and felt better.
