A true Devotee of Baba!


A true Devotee of Baba!

They see only God in all. They relate to the ultimate and they belong to a vision from God i.e. Godliness. All through their life they in all their actions build a divine path called ‘devotion’. The spirituality achieved by them through their divine functions illuminate happiness in and around the life and surroundings of those near them.

God Himself came on earth to show us how to live right. The concept of simple life, compassion for living beings, sharing food and various principles which Baba followed did not make much of an impact on most of us. Hence when I come across one devotee of Baba who follows even one of the above principles it gives me the thrill of seeing a living Baba amongst us.

The only prayer that came to my lips in this temple was “Baba! Give Narayana uncle a long life”. This Thursday thinking it would be rude to refuse an invitation by a Padmashri awardee, B C ROY awardee and a doctor an elderly Baba devotee I accompanied him and few other devotees in their regular Thursday ritual journey.

Amongst them is a 95 year old staunch devotee who has not depended on any medicine in his life except for depending on our beloved Baba’s udi. He came to motivate the villagers who have come to seek medical help and free annadan Prasad.

Mr Krishnaiaji retired person who is around 65, with an enthusiasm to serve Baba. A retired Doctor who had a fracture on his right arm, his wife who not only helped him write the prescriptions but also efficiently administered injections to patience. Few more doctors and an elderly villager on way to the temple who came with flowers for Baba and sang praise of Baba along with the other villagers present there. This was my journey to “Pudur” (Rangareddy District) in Andhra Pradesh where Dr Narayana has built a temple of compassion, love and care. It is a 2 hour journey from Hyderabad.
I have posted few photographs to portray the serene surroundings of this temple where the poor villagers go for medical problems. Here mid day meals is provided to all those who come from nearby villages. Free eye camps dentistry is provided also surgeries etc for those in need. Wanted to share with everyone the joy of meeting a true devotee of Baba.
