Neem Karoli Baba ~ Nectar of Love ~ Bhakti

Neem Karoli Baba or Neeb Karori Baba (c. 1900 -1973), known to
his followers as Maharaj-ji, was a Hindu guru and a devotee of
the Hindu deity Hanuman. Baba was a lifelong adept of bhakti
yoga, and encouraged service to others (seva) as the highest form
of unconditional devotion to God. In the book Miracle of Love,
compiled by Ram Dass, a devotee named Anjani shares the following
account:  "There can be no biography of him. Facts are few,
stories many. He seems to have been known by different names in
many parts of India, appearing and disappearing through the
years. His non-Indian devotees of recent years knew him as Neem
Karoli Baba, but mostly as “Maharajji”. Just as he said, he was
"nobody". He gave no discourses; the briefest, simplest stories
were his teachings. Usually, he sat or lay on a wooden bench
wrapped in a plaid blanket while a few devotees sat around him.
Visitors came and went; they were given food, a few words, a nod,
a pat on the head or back, and they were sent away. Sometimes he
sat in silence, absorbed in another world to which we could not
follow, but bliss and peace poured down on us. Who he was was no
more than the experience of him, the nectar of his presence, the
totality of his absence, enveloping us now like his plaid
blanket."
