Sri Swami Narayan Barah Dadaji Siddha Purushadas

Swami Narajan Ji arrived here in 1922. He settled in the cave behind here and lit his sacred fire. This great soul was always here as was his fire. He was able to stay inside there and meditate for 24 hours, even for 10-15 days at a time, in the same yogic position of the urti mudra. He had special powers and he did miraculous things. One day hisdevotees whispered to each other: “It would be nice if the Baba chose a disciple.” In that same moment he, who almost never spoke, understood and said: “My disciple will have to be without fingers and toes.” One day a Yogi came on foot from Nepal, who was missing some of his fingers and toes and by his own choice he did not speak. Narayan Swami recognized him as his own disciple and gave him the name Gori Shankar Giri, also called Nepali Baba or Nepali Dada, that is, Nepalese Saint Grandpa. Phone: +91 95573 38457
