What Name?
A truck driver around the age of twenty-eight from Pithoragarh came to see Baba at Kainchi for the first time in 1966. He offered pranaam (a respectful greeting made by joining the palms or bowing at the feet) and Baba asked him, "What name?" He immediately replied, "Lalit Mohan." Baba said, "That's a lie, Laxman Singh." The man was surprised to hear his real name from Baba, and by way of explanation he said, "Baba, you are right. My name is Laxman Singh, and the members of my family call me by this name. In my childhood, when I was first registered in school, my family wanted a better name to be written in the school register, and they chose Lalit Mohan." This incident impressed the man so much that he became Baba's devotee, and later, the driver of Baba's jeep.
