Eight Oranges
One evening in 1973, after traveling in the hills of Uttarakhand, Swami Chidananda, head of the Shivananda ashram in Rishikesh, came to Kainchi with some devotees for Maharaj's darshan. Swami ji wrote: "The revered Baba Neeb Karori was seated on a cot, wrapped in a simple blanket. He received me and my party with a very kind and benign look and motioned us to take our seats on the carpet spread near a cot. I knelt down beside the cot and paid my homage, laying my head upon his lap, where he had tucked up his foot, being seated cross-legged."
Shri Yogesh Bahuguna, who came with Swami ji, had brought eight oranges to offer to Baba. He put them in an empty basket near the cot, and after conversing for a little while, Baba distributed those oranges as prasad. By this time some devotees and workers in the ashram had gathered at the door. The visitors were astonished to see that Baba had given an orange to each of the eighteen people present. Swami ji wrote, "From where the additional oranges came into the basket is something we could not explain. Perhaps only Baba ji knows this."
