Neem Karoli Baba’s Most Famous Miracles
Neem Karoli Baba, lovingly known as Maharaj-ji, was never interested in fame, power, or spectacle. But countless people — from villagers to Western seekers — witnessed miraculous events around him that defied logic. These weren’t displays of magic, but expressions of divine grace, often experienced by those with deep faith and surrender.
Let’s explore some of the most powerful miracles of Neem Karoli Baba — stories that continue to awaken hearts to the presence of the Divine.
🚂 The Train Miracle: “Stop the Train”
One of the earliest and most well-known miracles happened near Farrukhabad. Maharaj-ji was traveling without a ticket and was forced off the train. As soon as he stepped down, the train refused to move.
Despite all efforts — changing engines, signals, tracks — nothing worked.
When station authorities requested him to reboard, Baba agreed. As soon as he settled back on the train, it started moving effortlessly.
This event led to the construction of Baba’s first ashram at Neem Karoli village.
🔮 Reading Minds and Inner Thoughts
Maharaj-ji often answered questions without being asked, recited private events, or even predicted events before they happened.
Devotees recall:
Him repeating prayers they had silently said.
Offering food exactly when someone wished for it mentally.
Revealing someone’s entire life history without any introduction.
His message: “He knows everything. You don't have to tell him.”
🕉️ Instant Healing and Protection
Story of the Burned Child:
In one village, a small child fell into boiling water. His skin was severely burned. His family, helpless and poor, brought the child to Baba.
Maharaj-ji looked at the child, placed his hand gently on him, and said, “He will be fine.” Within a few hours, the child was completely healed without a single scar.
Other Healings:
People with chronic illnesses or mental disorders recovering after darshan
Reports of tumors disappearing
Emotional traumas being lifted just by touching his photo
🔥 Appearing in Multiple Places at Once
Many devotees have reported seeing Maharaj-ji in different cities at the same time. Some had visions of him standing beside them during accidents or surgeries — only to discover he was physically in the ashram at the same moment.
These were not hallucinations — they brought miraculous outcomes and are verified by multiple witnesses.
🍎 The Apple for Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs, searching for purpose, came to Kainchi Dham Ashram in the 1970s. Though Maharaj-ji had taken samadhi by then, Steve was deeply moved by his energy.
Later, Jobs named his company “Apple,” reportedly inspired by Baba giving apples as prasad and symbols of purity and simplicity.
His experience at the ashram became a turning point.
📿 Ram Dass’ Transformation
When Harvard professor Dr. Richard Alpert met Maharaj-ji in 1967, he had LSD in his bag. Baba asked for it, took a heavy dose — and nothing happened.
Baba told him: “This drug can take you to the door. But love and devotion will take you all the way.”
That moment transformed him into Ram Dass, spiritual teacher and author of Be Here Now.
🛐 The Blanket That Burned but Didn’t
Once Baba’s blanket caught fire in a kitchen accident. Ashes fell all around, but the blanket was completely untouched. Devotees saw it as a sign of divine energy protecting even the simplest objects connected to him.
🌍 Appearing in Dreams Across the World
Even today, thousands of people report:
Seeing Neem Karoli Baba in dreams
Being guided or protected during life-threatening moments
Receiving mantras or answers without having met him physically
These dreams often come with strong emotional healing or life direction.
🪔 Miracles Still Happen
Maharaj-ji’s miracles didn’t stop in 1973. Even now:
Ashram lamps light by themselves
Food multiplies during large bhandaras
Devotees report saved from accidents or financial ruin after praying to him
🙏 Final Message: Beyond Miracles
Neem Karoli Baba never performed miracles to impress. He never called himself a guru. He always said:
“I am nobody. I do nothing. Everything is Ram.”
His true miracle was his boundless love, his ability to make you feel completely known, accepted, and safe.
If you believe, he’s already with you. Just say his name — “Ram Ram” — and trust. The miracle is already unfolding.
Jai Neem Karoli Baba. Jai Maharaj-ji.
