Maharaj

Devkamta Dixit ji asked Baba about his uncle's idea of holding a bhandara at Chitrakut. Baba gave his consent for the auspicious work and asked him to go with his family. Dixit ji asked Baba to grace the occasion with his presence. Baba agreed and said, "At the end of the bhandara, three saints will come. Receive them well." They did not fix the date of the bhandara at that time because Baba had asked Dixit ji to go with the family, whose schedules needed to be consulted. Keeping in mind the children's school holidays, they decided to hold the function during Navaratra (the nine days and nights dedicated to the worship of Goddess Durga). Dixit ji could not inform Baba of the date since Baba's whereabouts were unknown, so he left his brother Dr. Dixit at home, thinking that if Baba arrived there, he could then escort him to Chitrakut.

Upon his arrival in Chitrakut, Dixit ji met an unknown sadhu who helped him make arrangements for the bhandara, gave good suggestions, and provided all sorts of facilities. After Vijayadashmi, Baba arrived in Kanpur on Ekadashi day and asked Dr. Dixit, "Has the bhandara been done?" Dr. Dixit could not give any definite reply, and Baba himself said, "It is not done yet. It will be held tomorrow." The bhandara was held on Dwadashi, the twelfth day. Baba arrived in time with Dr. Dixit and left after having prasad. The bhandara lasted until evening. Thousands of holy men had prasad. At about 5 p.m. the three saints Baba mentioned arrived. They were well received and fed. Each of them had as much prasad as would satisfy many people.

When the feast ended, Dixit ji's uncle remembered the services and help of the unknown sadhu and wanted to give him a pullover to protect him against the coming winter. Devkamta immediately bought a woolen pullover for him, but when he went to give it to the sadhu, he had disappeared.
