Baba's past history and his Darshan (Apparition) of Lord Krishna
Due to all the happenings and disappointments in life Baba gradually had turned himself to a devotee of Shri Krishna and he developed an intimately relationship with Him. The relation became so intense that it culminated in the apparition of Shri Krishna in a deep dream, which changed him within completely. This happened in a night in 1996.
First Darshan of Bal Krishna 1996
Because of his intense love of the Lord, he received Darshan (apparitions) from Shri Krishna in various ways from 1996, while the Lord first appeared in the form of Bal Krishna, the form of Krishna as a baby.
The next Darshan of Shri Krishna Baba had in 2010 and from then on apparitions happened again and again.
​By the dreams he also got insight into the kingdom of the devas and devatas, of which some are described in the document Divine Glimpses.
​
Baba says, "Receiving the grace of God does not happen because of a certain achievement or ones greatness, but only because of the grace of God."
​
According to Baba, the taste achieved on the material platform is only a deceptive reflection of the taste offered by the Real, Divine Platform. This taste is pure satisfaction and Divine Bliss.
From our perspective we believe, that the apparitions Baba had, are related to his unalloyed devotion and unwavering faith, and also to his great humility. Ultimately these three main aspects led Baba to experience Lord Shri Krishna in His full Divine Power, thus allowing him to feel His whole Divine and Absolute Bliss, and still does.
Such an experience can never be achieved by material means and is only experienced by saints.
​
Considering dreams like Baba’s, we should understand that they are not ordinary in kind, but exceedingly rare and in its characteristics magnetizing and absolutely pervading, to the bottom of the soul, as if embracing God directly.
Baba's past history
Narayan Baba - Narayan Prasad Shiwakoti Bhardwaj with secular name - was born in July 1963 in the hilly area of eastern Nepal, in Terathum. He was born as the first child into a family of farmers in the cow shed. After the delivery he didn't stop crying up to he was brought far up the Himalaya to the Pathivara Temple. As he was brought inside the temple before Maha Pathivara (Durga), he stopped crying very soon.
The indication of Baba's deep spiritual connection to the higher source has been revealed right after his birth, even though he after spent his childhood like others in his age.
Nevertheless his interest to philosophical talk was inherent already in his very youth and he, from the very beginning of his childhood, felt connected to the more profound world.
​
He later studied law at the university in Kathmandu. Not only because of his village origin this was a big challenge, but also financially, especially since he married at the age of 17 and soon had children.
After two years as a lawyer, he finally realized that this kind of activity also led him to work for the criminals, which seemed to make him ill because of his kind-hearted nature.
So inwardly Baba began to feel renunciation to the material world.
After all he began writing books to cover the family's daily life expenses.
​
More about Baba's dreams and the love towards God is described in his book 'Shri Krishna Anuvooti'.
Another book Baba has published is 'Biu Begarko Kheti', 'The planting without seed'. Meaning, act without considering the result - pure, serene, with an attitude of equanimity.
Baba welcomes everyone who wants to hear more about his experiences
Baba welcomes everyone to the ashram, where he shares about the divine experiences, and encourages everyone to sing the holy names of God in the name of Lord Krishna.
