Taking Ram's Name
Like Hanuman ji, the recitation of the Ramayana and the name of Ram were very dear to Maharaj ji. When the devotees organized the chanting of the Ramayana, Maharaj was often present, even if in an imperceptible form. Sometimes devotees would organize the recitation of the Ramayana or the chanting of Ram's name with the hope that they would have Maharaj ji's darshan.
Maharaj had not been to Bareilly for a long time, so Pyarelal Mahajan decided to organize a non-stop kirtan (chanting) of Ram's name. Pyarelal's guru, Swami Vidyanand ji, came to his house and started the kirtan of "Hare Ram, Hare Ram, Ram Ram, Hare Hare." Pyarelal and his wife enjoyed singing the kirtan until late at night. His wife then went to sleep in her room on the upper floor of the house, and Pyarelal rested in a room downstairs. He was sleeping when Baba knocked at the door. When he did not wake up, Baba went upstairs and knocked on the door of his wife's room. She woke up but was afraid to open the door so late at night. Baba turned away and went to Dr. Bhandari's house. He phoned Pyarelal from there, and Pyarelal went with his father to get Baba. When they returned, Baba told them about his visit that night. Pyarelal's wife corroborated the incident and said she had heard the knock on the door but had been too afraid to open it.
