The Darshan of Ram Naam
One day in 1962 Mohini Sah, a dear devotee of Maharaj since childhood, found out that Baba was in Kainchi. Since she never missed a chance to experience the joy of being with him, she bought some fruit to offer to him, tied it in the corner of her sari, and went to Kainchi. The ashram was still being built, and only the construction of Baba's kuti was complete. While Sri Ma, K.C. Tewari, and some other devotees were in Kainchi, Baba had left for Nainital before Mohini arrived. Mohini was deeply upset that she could not meet Baba after having traveled the nineteen kilometers from Nainital to Kainchi. Forgetting to take her sandals off, she went to Baba's takhat, scattered the fruit all over it, and pummeled the seat with her fists, giving vent to her anger. Afterwards she went to the rock where Baba often sat, and sitting there, she sang many beautiful devotional songs. In the end she chanted "Jai Ram, Jai Ram" [Glory to Ram] and became so overwhelmed that she fainted and lay unconscious.
Baba returned about midnight. When she got up the next morning, Mohini had Baba's darshan and pummeled his feet in the same manner that she had pummeled his seat the previous day. When the people in the ashram asked her the reason for chanting so many hymns without a break, she said that she had seen the name of Ram illuminated in stars on each leaf of the tree near the rock, and the grandeur of the sight had immersed her in joy.
