Verbatim excerpt from Narasimha Swami (1940s)

in Baba’s company. I had noth ing particular to ask of him. I wanted only increase of 151 faith. I wanted that at my death, I may die possessed of full Imam or faith so that I may have a good end. I prayed to him (mentally) for that and asked for his blessings. He placed his hand on my hand and blessed me. From that moment his blessings have borne fruit. My faith has steadily increase. Besides that I have a great benefit from my faith in him and in his Udhi. For example five years back, my she- buffalo was in great travail, in trying to calve. Pained at her suffering I sent for the Veterinary Surgeon. He tried his best. Especially as I was the Chairman of the Sanitary Committee of the Municipality he would be glad to help me in such a difficulty. But he could do noth ing. Then I besought myself of Baba’s udhi. I placed some udhi on the head of the buffalo and hoped that Baba would kindly come to its aid. In about ten minutes, she safely calved; there was no more trouble. There are numerous cases in which I have used Baba’s udhi, with signal success. I take it myself in this way. I apply a bit of it on my chest, eyes, forehead and think of Baba.
