Chapter – 10

He took Babaji in his small cottage and received him with all honors,  he introduced Babaji to his wife who prostrated before him.  Soon two of his sons arrived there and insulted Babaji, the father of young men does not like their behavior at all, husband and wife shouted at the arrogant behavior of their sons, “ This Mahapurusha is our guest, you have no right to insult him.” His son forcefully took Babaji out of their house, husband and wife cried and ran after him, the husband got intense chest pain and fallen unconscious and died.  The two sons saw the pathetic state at home and rushed to   Babaji.  They took Babaji on his shoulder; soon a respectable person in the village arrived and shouted at them for their arrogance, asked them to stay away from the noble-person.  He came closer to Babaji and said “ Maharaj, I feel extremely calm and serene at your presence.   You are not an ordinary person, where are you living here?” Lokenathji said, “ I am also an ordinary human being like you.” He invited Babaji to his home, Babaji said: “ I have this whole Universe as my home, this widespread sky is my roof and the Earth is my shelter place.” Babaji continued pointing at a place “I prefer to stay in that funeral ground which is our ultimate resting place.”  The respectable person said, “ Maharaj, order me, I can build an Ashram for you.” Babaji said, “ As you wish.”  In a short period, a hermitage was built in the funeral ground, there was an old lady who used to serve Lokenath Babaji in the Ashram, she brings milk for him on a regular basis, Babaji used to address her ‘Ma’.

There was a royal family in Kolkata, the king, and wife had a dream of a noble-man with matted hair locks and pristine white robe, they came to know from Rajapurohith about the miracles of Baba Lokenath.   They discussed the noble saint Baba Lokenath who arrived in Sonargaon and settled in  Barodi Ashram.  Maharani requested King to make a visit to the Ashram with her, King was not willing to visit any place without proper invitation, she said it is the place of Mahapurusha where people do not require an invitation to visit him.  King and the Queen made arrangements to visit Baba Lokenath.  They reached the hermitage of Babaji, Baba Lokenath walked at the entrance of the Ashram to receive the King who was hesitant to visit places without invitation and the Queen who was not in their Royal attire. Babaji expressed his awe, they both prostrated before Babaji.  On that day a grand recital of scriptures and Keerthans were conducted, the whole village was assembled to witness this marvelous occasion.
