What is the Extent of His Power?

This is a rather difficult topic for most people to talk about since a lot of the devotees are shy and often speak only of the 'Love and Grace' aspect of Maharajji, I thought that I should simply take a leap of faith and say things as they are.

Maharajji can do anything and everything in the Universe.

Imagine a being that could effortlessly perform all the miraculous deeds that Moses, Jesus, Krishna, Ram, Hanuman and anyone else you'd like to bring into the picture do, Neem Karoli Baba has probably done it too, and is continuing to do it somewhere as we speak. He has the power of all the Gods, yet chooses to stay on earth and focus on alleviating human suffering.

Even now, the constant stream of Maharaj Ji miracles that get reported on a daily level is quite large. To some, he magically deposits exactly the amount of money in the bank that was needed for the devotee's daughter's wedding, to some he saves them from life threatening illnesses and prevents them from having fatal accidents. To some others, he pops out of the frame of his photograph and brings the dead back to life and disappears. These are just the beginning of his miraculous powers. He works on so many planes and so many dimensions that it's hard to comprehend where or what the limits are of his Divine Power.

"I AM CAPABLE OF CHANGING DESTINY. THERE IS NO POWER IN THE WORLD THAT CAN GO AGAINST WHAT I HAVE SAID. I CAN LOWER THE EXALTED AND RAISE THE HUMBLE."

Maharajji is well aware of his powers and uses them in an extraordinarily balanced and graceful way. He is a genie and grants the wishes of anyone who’s pure of heart, however he can also be quite a tough father and give one a firm “zen stick beating” if one misbehaves. Although even this beating, over the long run proves to be a blessing. I am a living example of someone who got the ‘stick treatment’ by angering an all-powerful deity, so I would not mess with him again here. Also in the Hanuman chapter, all the 8 Siddhis still apply to him, but he is not contained in one form anymore so they’re more spread out.

Coming back to the love and grace aspect of Maharajji, several young aspirants hear the story of Steve Jobs and Zuckerberg and come to Kainchi till this day, he blesses them all with his Godly benevolence and sends them away with a loving ‘Jao’. What they do with this blessing of his is left to them and the circumstances and devotion which they apply, but his love is unconditional. So many people with so many problems constantly pray to him and come to his ashrams and temples, yet he blesses all of them with his grace. The mysterious thing about Maharajji, what makes him a true hero, is not his powers but the fact that he can’t help himself from solving people’s problems. Such is the nature of the unconditional divine love that is Maharajji. Hanuman is after all - Sankat Mochan - The reliever of suffering.

It is common knowledge among the Indian devotees that “no sincere prayers go unanswered by Neem Karoli Baba” some call him the “Kalpataru” or a ‘wish - fulfilling divine tree’. His powers are so safe on the earth because of his extraordinary compassion. Lovingly he said:

“I AM THE FATHER OF THE WORLD. THE WHOLE WORLD IS MY CHILD”

Here’s what I found when I dug a little deeper and more specifically into Maharajji’s powers from his non-physical perspective, of course they’re only the tip of the iceberg but I thought I’ll list a few anyway:

  • He can heal any disease and fix any difficult circumstance as long as the asking is sincere. I have met people who have been magically cured of seemingly incurable ailments in the recent past. The healing comes in many different forms just like they did when he was in his physical body.
  • He has the power to penetrate ‘the politics of individual Karma’ and liberate one from these clutches of ‘karmic predicaments’, literally bending the rules of the ‘blueprint of existence’. How much he involves himself in these matters is really left to his will and our understanding of the broader scope of life experience (beyond this incarnation)
  • He has the power to create entire life circumstances and catapult the devotee into the middle of one of these for purposes of higher learning and further understanding of dharma and self
  • He works either directly or sends a devotee rushing to those who are suffering and makes sure that the needs are met.
  • He can assume any form he wants and give surprise visits to his devotees
  • He can speak through and make anyone or anything acquiesce according to his will, he can change the minds of an entire legion of people or whole governments to suit the needs of his devotees.
  • He’s very very protective of his devotees and doesn’t mind giving anyone a firm ‘zen stick beating’ if they trouble his devotees. Again, I have first-hand experience of insulting one of his devotees in the past and getting a high-quality zen stick beating.
  • In certain places like Kainchi Dham, he controls the weather, the traffic, the food supply, and everything to the finest detail till this day. Anyone you speak to in Kainchi will explain to you he’s the boss.
  • Even if a single individual in the family is a devotee of Neem Karoli Baba, his grace extends to the whole family in ways so subtle that one often can’t notice.
  • The devotee inevitably ends up dropping most of the ‘adharmic’ (non-virtuous) ways of living and somehow becomes more forgiving, more loving, less angry, more compassionate, and more concerned with the well-being of others and the world as a whole. This is perhaps one of his greatest superpowers - the power to open the hearts of his devotees and make them better people.
