The blessings of saints and their powers often leave everyone in awe. This blog recounts a miraculous event where, through the blessings of a saint, a childless couple received the gift of a son. This story teaches us the importance of following the instructions of saints and the miracles their blessings can bring into our lives.
An Example of Divine Blessings: The blessings of saints
One day, Babaji arrived at the house of the late Mr. Jagati in Allahabad with several of his devotees. Mr. Jagati warmly welcomed Babaji and his devotees, serving them with great devotion and offering them fruits. Babaji picked up an apple from the offerings and, handing it to Mr. Jagati as a blessing, said, “Give this to your wife. You have no children, but you will be blessed with a son.” Babaji’s grace was such that without being asked, he granted them everything.
A Miraculous Incident
After Babaji left, Mr. Jagati began to ponder. At sixty years old and his wife being fifty-four, he felt they were too old to raise a child. While he was lost in thought, his seventy-year-old neighbor, who was also childless, came over. The neighbor’s wife was over sixty. Mr. Jagati decided to give them the apple.
The Miracle and Its Consequences
After eating the apple, the neighbor’s elderly wife became pregnant and, in due course, gave birth to a son. They lovingly cared for the child, but sadly, the child passed away after two years. The elderly couple was heartbroken. When Mr. Jagati met Babaji again, he narrated the entire incident and asked why the child had died. Babaji immediately responded, “I gave that apple to your wife. You gave it to a sixty-two-year-old woman. If the boy had not gone, what else could have happened?”
Conclusion
This story teaches us that not everyone is fortunate enough to receive the blessings of saints. When instructed by a saint, one should always comply. Staying in the guidance of a guru and following their instructions can bring miracles into our lives.

Who Was Neem Karoli Baba? A Short Background
Neem Karoli Baba, lovingly called Maharaj Ji, is remembered as a saint of simple living and deep compassion. Devotees describe him as a Hanuman devotee whose life centred on love, service, and feeding others. His ashrams, including Kainchi Dham in Uttarakhand and the ashram at Vrindavan, became places where visitors could sit quietly, receive prasad, and join in prayer. He did not seek publicity. People came because of the peace they felt near him and because he encouraged ordinary, honest devotion.
His best-known teaching is often summed up as: love all, serve all, feed all, and remember God. Love all means treating people with patience and kindness. Serve all means helping where help is needed, without waiting for praise. Feed all means sharing food generously, which is why bhandara, the sharing of a free meal, remains central at his ashrams. Remember God means keeping the mind turned toward the divine in the middle of ordinary work and worry. The story above is best read in that light: a blessing is not a prize, but an invitation to live these teachings more sincerely.
What the Blessing of a Saint Means
In devotional language, a blessing is not only a wish for good fortune. It is grace that softens the heart, steadies the mind, and turns a person toward service. A saint may bless with a word, a look, prasad, or a small gift such as fruit, and devotees often remember the moment for years. Yet the outer form matters less than the inner change. A true blessing, devotees say, shows itself later in greater patience, gratitude, and willingness to help others. It does not remove every difficulty from life, but it can change how a person meets difficulty.
How to Receive a Blessing with the Right Attitude
- Come with humility, not demands. Ask with an open heart, and accept the outcome with trust, even when it differs from what you hoped for.
- Do not compare blessings. One person may receive a visible answer, another a quiet inner change. Both can be real, and comparison only breeds envy.
- Keep your promises to yourself. If a blessing inspires you to pray more regularly, serve more, or speak more kindly, follow through in small, steady steps.
- Share the good you receive. Feeding someone, helping a neighbour, or offering time and care is a grounded way to honour any grace you feel you have received.
- Stay patient. The original post itself reminds readers that not everyone receives the same blessing in the same way. Patience and trust are part of devotion.
A Simple Daily Practice: Ram Naam Jap, Hanuman Chalisa, and Seva
Many devotees of Neem Karoli Baba keep three practices at the centre of their day. The first is Ram Naam Jap, the quiet repetition of the name of Ram, done with attention rather than speed. Even a short period of Jap, done regularly, can calm the mind. The second is reading or listening to the Hanuman Chalisa, the hymn in praise of Hanuman Ji. Maharaj Ji is remembered as a great devotee of Hanuman, and many followers find that the Chalisa brings strength and steadiness. The third is seva, selfless service: feeding someone who is hungry, helping an elderly neighbour, or offering time at a temple or community kitchen, quietly and without expecting thanks.
Planning a Visit to Kainchi Dham
Devotees who feel drawn by such stories often wish to visit Kainchi Dham, Maharaj Ji’s ashram in the hills of Uttarakhand, near Nainital. The ashram sits beside a river in a quiet valley, and visitors often describe the atmosphere as calm and welcoming. Darshan is generally available during the day, and mornings are often less crowded. Because timings can change with the season, festivals, and local guidance, check current timings before you travel. Most visitors travel by road from Haldwani or Nainital, and the nearest major railway station is Kathgodam. Keep offerings simple, keep your phone silent in the temple area, and receive prasad with gratitude.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do saints bless everyone in the same way? No. The original story shows that a blessing can take an unexpected form and reach an unexpected person. Devotees are advised not to expect the same outer result, but to stay open to whatever inner change, comfort, or guidance comes to them.
Can I ask Maharaj Ji for a blessing today? Yes, in prayer. You can pray at home, at Kainchi Dham, or wherever you are. A simple, honest prayer, together with Ram Naam Jap and a small act of seva, is the way most devotees express such a request.
What if my prayer seems unanswered? Many devotees find that answers come slowly, or in a different form than expected. Keep up steady practice, handle practical matters with care, and speak with a trusted elder or mature devotee if you feel troubled, rather than acting in haste.
How can I honour a blessing I feel I have received? Live it out. Pray regularly, speak kindly, feed someone when you can, and serve without show. A blessing that changes how you treat others is, for most devotees, the clearest sign that it was real.
