Chapter – 1

Baba Kinaram was born in the year 1601, in the Badhra Month, on a Krishnapaksha Chathurdhashi day in a village called Ramghat, Chandhauli in Varanasi.  His father Sri Akbar Singh was Raghuvamshi, he had three children and Kinaram was the eldest one.  He was too devoted to Lord Rama from the early years of childhood, whenever time permits; he engages in Rambhajan with his friends.   He was grown up as Vairagin from childhood.  Those days the practice of childhood marriages were very common, Kinaram has to agree for marriage at the age of 12 due to the constant pressure from the parents.  After three years of marriage, it was decided to bring the child bride to home, previous day of journey he asked his mother to feed with the sweet rice cooked in milk, mother got very angry and said “ You have to bring the bride tomorrow, are you asking me to prepare sweet rice with milk?”  There was a practice of consuming this sweet milk rice after any inauspicious event like death.  Kinaram was adamant; finally, his mother had to feed him with the milk rice.  The house was all prepared to bring the child bride, the next day a message arrived from the house of the bride that she was expired.  His mother could not control tears, she lamented over the death of her daughter-in-law saying “ This boy is too adamant, who will eat this sweet rice cooked in milk on this auspicious hours,” Kinaram said “ Mother, I ate the sweet rice only after her death. It was not before her death, if you don’t have faith upon me, ask father.  She died yesterday evening.  I ate the milk rice in the night.”  Gradually, the news spread all over the village that he was aware of the death of his wife in advance. They were surprised how Kinaram came to know about the death of his wife.  After this incident, once again his parents decided to find a suitable bride for Kinaram, but he was strictly refused to marry.  The family put extreme pressure on him to get married soon and settle in his life.  This made him leave home forever, in search of supreme consciousness which is the highest of knowledge.
