The Incarnation of Hanuman
One evening in Kainchi Dham Ashram, Shankar Prasad Vyas was walking with Neem Karoli Baba along the road in front of the ashram. Baba seemed to be in a pensive mood, so when he put his hand on Vyas shoulder, Vyas kept quiet. All of a sudden a thought flashed into his mind that people regard Baba as incarnation of Lord Hanuman. Then he thought, But how can it be believed ? While he was thinking this, he felt the weight of Baba’s hand slowly become so heavy that he could not bear it anymore. Baba’s hand was placed on his shoulder in a natural way and its size was unchanged. Vyas was very perturbed and hesitated to try to remove the hand so lovingly prayed to Hanuman ji and asked forgiveness for his doubts. The situation immediately became normal, and his doubt was removed.
