Maharaj

The Indian saint Swami Rama wrote in his book Living with the Himalayan Masters that he was with Baba one day when a pharmacist in Nainital stopped and bowed before Baba in salutation. The pharmacist was carrying arsenic powder from Tallital to Mallital. Baba said to the man, "I am hungry. What are you carrying with you?" The man answered, "This is arsenic powder. I shall bring some food for you." Baba snatched the powder in one stretch and ate a handful of it. He then asked for water and drank it. The pharmacist became worried. He thought it was not possible for Baba to stay alive. When he saw that Baba's condition remained unchanged, he felt amazed.
