Maharaj

An army officer arrived in Kainchi and stood at the door of Baba's kuti. Vishambher of Aligarh was also standing there holding a large puja plate. They were waiting to go inside since all the ma's (women devotees) were in Baba's kuti. When Baba asked the women to leave so that his devotee Vishambher could also have a chance to do his puja, the army officer started to count the women as they came out. When all of them had left the kuti, Vishambher, the army officer, and others went into the room. Baba suddenly got up and started hitting the army officer with his fist. Vishambher's puja plate and its contents fell and were scattered all over the floor. Baba threw off his blanket, pulled the officer into the courtyard, and hit him so hard that he rolled across the ground like a ball. Everyone in the ashram was unnerved. It was clear to all present that the officer had had improper thoughts on seeing and counting the women devotees. This was intolerable to Baba, who punished the officer and told him, "Do not come here again ever." The officer continued to come to Kainchi now and then, even after Baba's Mahasamadhi, but he never entered the temple premises. He would do pranaam from outside and then go away.
