Who is Neem Karoli Baba

Neem Karoli Baba: नीम करोली बाबा 20वीं सदी के प्रसिद्ध संतों में एक हैं. बाबा की ख्याति देश-विदेश तक फैली है. 17 साल में ही बाबा को ज्ञान की प्राप्ति हुई थी. भक्त इन्हें हनुमान जी का अवतार मानते हैं.

Neem Karoli Baba, known at the time as Baba Lakshman Das (also spelled “Laxman Das”), left his home in 1958. Ram Dass tells a story that Baba Lakshman Das boarded a train without a ticket and the conductor decided to halt the train and force Neem Karoli Baba off of the train at the village of Neem Karoli, Farrukhabad district (U.P). After forcing Baba off the train, the conductor found that the train would not start again. After several attempts at starting the train, someone suggested to the conductor that they allow the sadhu back on to the train. Neem Karoli agreed to board the train on two conditions: 1) the railway company promise to build a station at the village of Neem Karoli (at the time the villagers had to walk many miles to the nearest station), and 2) the railway company must henceforth treat sadhus better.

Neem Karoli Baba died at approximately 1:15 AM in the early morning hours of 11 September 1973 in a hospital at Vrindavan, India^[11][12] after slipping into a diabetic coma. He had been returning by night train to Kainchi^[13] near Nainital, from Agra where he had visited a heart specialist due to experiencing pains in his chest. He and his traveling companions had disembarked at Mathura railway station where he began convulsing and requested being taken to Shri Dham Vrindavan.^[14][15]
