Relief From Poverty Purnanand Tewari of Kainchi had a big family but no means of livelihood except for a small piece of land to cultivate. The income from it was not enough to support them, so when the children were little, the economic situation was not good.

Tewari became very sad and disappointed with his life. He decided to sell his piece of land and settled the deed with a Punjabi gentleman.

Baba came to his house in 1962 and consoled him saying, "Don't be afraid of misfortune. Dogs bark but the elephant walks on, he does not care." Tewari then decided not to sell his land.

During the days of poverty for the Tewari family, Tewari's wife suffered from fever and asthma.

Tewari got medicine prescribed for her from the doctor in Bhowali by describing her symptoms to him. She did not, however, continue taking the medicine, for it aggravated her illness.

Tewari was poor and worried. One day Haridas Baba was sitting in Tewari's tea shop, waiting for the bus to go back to Nainital, and Tewari told him his tale of woe.

Haridas Baba used to come to Kainchi from Hanumangarh to supervise the construction work of Kainchi ashram.

Haridas listened to him, and when the bus arrived, he left.

Maharaj was in Lucknow at the time but phoned a devotee in Nainital and told him to tell Haridas Baba to take Dr. Premlal to Kainchi with him at once.

The doctor was to examine Purnanand's wife because she was suffering a lot.

Two months before his Mahasamadhi, Maharaj spoke to the higher authorities of the Roadways Department and got Tewari transferred to the Roadways station in Bhowali, about eight kilometers from Kainchi.

Baba's act distressed Tewari because he did not want to leave Kainchi.

However, Baba was keeping Tewari's future welfare in mind. He did not want him to face difficulties in his absence.

Baba knew that by his transfer to a place some distance away he would not be able to manage all his business affairs, so his sons would need to take on more responsibilities.

Otherwise, with the deterioration in health suffered in old age, his life would be unhappy if he was still trying to manage everything.

Baba explained to Tewari that after he had worked in Bhowali for two months, he would be transferred back to Kainchi and would have no further fear of transfer in the future.

After Baba's Mahasamadhi, Tewari was indeed transferred back to the Kainchi bus stand.

In 1948 Kehar Singh ji and a friend went to a man having Bhrigu Samhita (the prophetic astrological treatise of Sage Bhrigu). Kehar Singh ji expressed his desire to have written details about his astrological chart but said he did not have a horoscope.

The astrologer asked him a few questions and based on Kehar Singh's answers, looked up the relevant charts in a book, drew up a horoscope, and wrote a vivid account of his life.

As the things written about the past were correct, the predictions made for the future seemed to be credible.

There was one inauspicious prediction about his future. According to the horoscope, he was to die at the age of fifty-four from contracting a fatal disease. Kehar Singh ji was very distubed by this.

Shri S.S. Pawar and his wife were anxious about the marriage of their elder daughter.

One day Baba came and said,

"A boy who is an engineer has just returned from abroad. He belongs to your community. Go, talk to him."

Baba gave them all the details about the boy.

Pawar humbly said to him, "The boys who are engineers educated abroad demand much dowry and I may not be able to meet their demand."

Baba at once said, "All will be settled. You must go."

After making enquiries about the boy, Pawar spoke to the boy's parents.

It did not take much time to settle the matter, and the marriage took place without any problems.
