Neem Karoli Baba’s life story cannot be told in a conventional biographic form for the facts about his life are few. Fortunately there are plenty of stories about this Baba, each one offering you a small snippet of who he was. That these stories contain Baba’s essence is no mystery for stories were his main way to share his wisdom.
Ram Dass, a Harvard professor, met Neem Karoli Baba in India in 1967. Ram Dass from the first wanted to share his experiences of Neem Karoli Baba with others. He has succeeded admirably in Miracle of Love, compiling literally hundreds of stories about this great saint, and sharing his own stories and insights. People did not leave Maharajji’s presence hungry, either for food or for spiritual nourishment. Ram Dass has gathered the stories together by their common themes including; Key to the Mind, Attachment, Truth, Money, Anger, Love, Sadhna.In the way of great saints, simply because he is without a body Neem Karoli Baba continues to touch hearts and guide his devotees. As Ram Dass says: Maharajji taught his followers not to trust their senses and minds regarding him, so they are not totally accepting of the reality of his body consumed by fire, and accept stories of Baba’s continued presence in their lives. By the end of this amazing 400 plus page book you too find yourself accepting the miracles love calls forth. –
