Pranams at the lotus feet of Baba Kinaram Maharaj!

Chapter – 6

Baba Kinaram and Beejaram arrived in Girinar Parvath.  The Mount Abu, Hingalaj, Pushkar, Veerbhumi, Kamakhya and Himalaya and various shrines of this place are the land of saints and holy men, these places are referred to Karmabhumi/Thapovan of Sanyasin.  Even today, many holy men are taking Tapasya in subtle forms in these sacred lands.  BabaKinaram said “ Beejaram I am going up to the hill, you have to wait for me here until I return.  One thing you should remember that you should take Biksha from three houses only, not more than that. And you have to manage with whatever you receive as alms in the three houses, never go to the fourth house for alms.” 

It was believed that Rishi Dhaththathreya as living Lord in all four Yugas.   Baba Kinaram met Rishi Dhaththathreya and attained the knowledge in Yogic Practices.  It is mentioned in scriptures that Baba Gorakhnath of Nath sampradaya,  and  Sant Eknath of Varkari Sampradaya met Rishi Dhaththathreya in Girinar Parvath and attained knowledge in various fields.

After some time Baba Kinaram and Beejaram arrived in Junarghad which was under the rule of Nawab, Saints are prohibited to beg for alms in this city, whoever begs for alms would be imprisoned, the person sent to the jail should work on grinding flour.  Beejaram was imprisoned for begging alms, he was arrested, Kinaramji was anxious about the missing of Beejaram.  Babaji with his Manthrasiddhi understood all that happened, he too went for begging alms, soon he was imprisoned.  Babaji saw many saints and holy men were grinding flour in the prison, Babaji was ordered to do the same work, he gave a hard hit on the grinding stone and said: “child, do your duty.” Soon the grinding stone started rotating its own; he did the same to the grinding stones of other saintly people.  The senior officer got stunned at this and informed Nawab.  Soon an order was issued by Nawab to produce Baba Kinaram in his assembly.  In fact, Nawab was alarmed of the incident that took place in the prison and scared that this Saint should not curse him.  He took all the effort to please Baba Kinaram in his assembly, a tray full of various precious ornaments was offered, Babaji took a mouthful and spit it on the floor and said “ It is neither sweet nor sour. What should I do with this?” Nawab understood  that Babaji has no interest in valuables, he said: “ Babaji I will give whatever you ask for.”  Babaji understood the anxiety of the Nawab.  Babaji said “ Saint and holy men are destined to beg for alms and fill their stomach, it is their part of discipline, but it is illegal in your city, I agree with this order.  You do one thing, now onwards you implement a rule to provide free flour to these Saints and holy men so that they need not go for begging alms.  Otherwise, cancel this order right now and let the Sanyasins beg for alms and live on it.”  Nawab accepted the condition put forward by  Kinaramji.

Nawab had no offspring; he arrived in Ma Hingalaj Shakthipeedam, where Baba conducts his worship, eventually, he was blessed with a child.  There was a lady undercover on her saree used to bring a sumptuous meal to Babaji on regular basis,  one day Babaji asked her whereabouts, but she was not willing to reveal it,  Babaji said he will not accept her meal provided.   Immediately the lady gave Dharshan as Ma Hingalaj who is the presiding deity of Aghora Vidhya.
