New Delhi : Keep a new purse in your pocket and you will receive blessings. Wear a new belt and keep my photo where you keep your money, you will become rich. Keep a bundle of new ten rupee notes where you keep your money and you will see the effect. Deposit ten percent of the money you get in my account as tithe, only then will you benefit. Eat samosas with green chutney instead of red chutney. You will receive blessings. These incidents happened about 12 years ago. Citing that the blessings had stopped due to some deity or Goddess Lakshmi, Baba was advising his devotees to offer liquor to Kaal Bhairav and eat chole bhature, samosa and golgappas with special water. The devotees, immersed in faith, were following all of Baba’s orders. The demand for Baba’s photos had increased. People were buying new purses and belts. No devotee was ready to think that by buying a photo, a new belt, a new purse or eating samosa with green chutney, someone could become rich or his stuck work could be completed.
Nirmal Baba had become a celebrity
Hundreds of people died in a stampede during a program of self-proclaimed Bhole Baba, who claimed himself to be God, in Hathras, UP. After this incident, once again the discussion about Baba and the faith of the devotees in him has intensified. One name in the list of Babas who play with faith is that of Nirmaljit Singh Narula alias Nirmal Baba. Nirmal Baba came into the limelight in the year 2012. Nirmal Baba’s craze can be understood from the fact that one had to pay a fee of Rs 3 thousand to attend Nirmal Darbar and Rs 5 thousand to attend a TV program. He had become a complete celebrity. These registrations were done through the website. Nirmal Darbar was held in a grand auditorium. Nirmal Baba’s Teesri Aankh program was broadcast on about 36 TV channels and news channels.
