Chapter – 7

Balanandji was attended by the physician of the village, he responded well to the treatment, he stayed with the gentleman and after that, he left for Narmada Parikrama.  During this Parikrama, he had divine experiences with Matha Narmada, it multiplied the qualities of spiritual life.  One evening Balanandji with many disciples entered the wood located on the river bank Narmada, eventually, the darkness spread all over the wood, all the saints were tired of hunger and thirst.  Balanandji saw an old female cowherd under the tree, he told her that they are going to spend that night under the shelter of this treed and requested her to help him to get some food from the nearby village so that he could serve meals to the saints.  The female cowherd said “Son, you do not worry, your hunger and thirst will get over with the milk of my cows, you all stand with a vessel to hold the milk, and my cow’s milk is abundant to feed you all. I can fill the milk in all your vessels.”  She served all the saints with the milk, and all were satisfied.  Soon the female cowherd with her cow disappeared in the dense wood. All the saints were surprised to find her sudden disappearance from the view, later they have realized that the female cowherd was not an ordinary woman, it was Ma Narmada.
