“Neem Karoli Baba taught me to love everyone and also speak the truth, first to yourself.”
These words from Krishna Das encapsulate the essence of a journey that began with a restless search for meaning and culminated in a lifelong devotion to Neem Karoli Baba. For Krishna Das, meeting Maharaj-ji was not just a pivotal moment—it was a revelation. The story of Miracles of Love begins long before its pages were written. It starts in the 1970s, when a disillusioned young man from America, burdened by addiction and existential questions, found himself in India. Drawn by tales of a mystical figure who emanated unconditional love, he made his way to Kainchi Dham, where Maharaj-ji lived. What Krishna Das encountered there changed the course of his life forever.
The Guru Who Saw the Truth Within
Maharaj-ji, often wrapped in a simple blanket, had an otherworldly ability to see through people. He didn’t just offer blessings; he revealed truths that devotees hadn’t yet admitted to themselves. Krishna Das recalls how, in their first meeting, Maharaj-ji looked into his eyes and spoke directly to his soul.
“He didn’t ask me to change or prove myself. He simply loved me,” Krishna Das once said. It was this love—boundless, unconditional, and pure—that formed the foundation of Miracles of Love.
A Book Born from Devotion
Years later, as Krishna Das became a renowned kirtan artist, he felt an urge to share Maharaj-ji’s teachings with the world. Miracles of Love was born out of countless hours spent reflecting on the time he and other devotees spent in the guru’s presence.
The book captures Maharaj-ji’s extraordinary simplicity and depth. It’s filled with stories of miraculous healings, moments of divine intervention, and lessons on faith and surrender. But more than that, it’s a tribute to the transformative power of love—a love that transcends time, culture, and even death.
The Story Behind the Stories
Miracles of Love is not just a collection of anecdotes; it’s a spiritual journey. Krishna Das wrote it not as an author trying to tell a story but as a devotee sharing a gift.
One of the most striking aspects of the book is how it bridges the gap between the mystical and the mundane. Maharaj-ji’s miracles weren’t limited to dramatic events; they often manifested in the simplest moments. A warm glance, a gentle word, or a quiet reminder to “feed everyone” carried profound meaning.
Krishna Das shares how Maharaj-ji’s presence taught him to live with humility and truth. “He didn’t want us to be perfect; he wanted us to be real. And in being real, we discovered perfection,” he wrote.
Lessons That Transcend Time
The teachings in Miracles of Love are as relevant today as they were decades ago. Maharaj-ji’s message of “love everyone, serve everyone, remember God” offers a timeless blueprint for a meaningful life.
Krishna Das reflects on how these lessons continue to shape his path. “Every time I sit to sing, I feel him with me. His love isn’t something you leave behind—it’s something you carry forward.”
Through this book, Krishna Das ensures that Maharaj-ji’s love and wisdom remain accessible to anyone seeking solace, connection, or inspiration.
The Legacy of Miracles
Miracles of Love is more than a memoir; it’s an invitation to experience the extraordinary within the ordinary. Maharaj-ji’s life reminds us that the simplest truths—love, faith, and service—are often the most profound.
For those who open their hearts to its pages, the book offers more than stories. It offers a path to transformation. As Krishna Das himself says, “Maharaj-ji didn’t give us teachings; he gave us love. And in that love, we found everything we needed.”
