Jai Shree Ganesha Jai Shree Laxsmi Ma Ki Jai.
Namaste my Rudra Das Namaste my Chelas,
One of the most beautiful things that I love about our Baba is the way he makes sure that everyone is fed on his Ashram. Not only are they fed but all sorts of high caste people serve the untouchables. Once he told me (and truly I do not remember if it was this life or last ) that a beggar boy who was an untouchable came to a widow woman’s house near the jungles, as they were then in India. One of his hands and arm was like a stick, a birth defect it was withered. The woman was a pious woman who was left a few rupees by her late husband. Her servant had fallen to sleep on the verandah and she had to open her door her self. As she saw the beggar boy her heart opened and she went to let him in to feed him. The servant saw the little boy and picked up a stick and started to hit the beggar all the while screaming What would your husband say! The woman walked away ashamed that she was letting this beggar in the house. My God she thought what would my Brahman husband say that I almost let a beggar so filthy in my clean house. But her heart hurt. The next day she went to see Baba on a small Ashram. She had heard that the greatest of Saints were to be in this place. She got there and did danda pranam and went to kiss his feet. His feet were so cold, she looked up and saw that he had a withered hand like the little beggar boy had. She got very afraid. Go he said you did not feed the hungry and you let another speak and think for you. How do you know Baba she asked through her tears. It was me old woman he said. It was me. His beautiful hand came back to normal as the widow left with her head down. She walked a long way and then she heard the Baba speak in the wind, Come back the great Baba cried out. Feed the begars and the leepers and then you will be able to be with me where every I go. She did this for the rest of her life.
Feed every one, you never know who is hungry. Would you not like to feed Baba? I would. I do, every day of my life. I love you all. Love Ma Jai Shree Baba Ki Jai.
