Story of Neem Karoli Baba’s Bulletproof Blanket (Neem Karoli Baba Story in Hindi)

Neem Karoli Baba always used to cover the blanket. Richard Alpert (Ramdas) has mentioned the incident related to bulletproof blanket in his book ‘Miracle of Love’. Richard Alpert said that among many devotees of Baba, there was also an elderly couple who lived in Fatehgarh. This incident of Baba’s miraculous blanket is related to 1943.

One day Baba (Neem Karoli Baba) suddenly reached the old couple’s house. After this Baba said that he will stay here in the night. The elderly couple devotee was very happy after listening to Baba. But the elderly couple were poor and they started thinking that if Baba stayed, they would have nothing to offer hospitality and service. Whatever the couple had enough at that time, they gave it to Baba and felicitated him. After the meal, he gave Baba a cot to sleep on and a blanket to cover, on which Baba fell asleep.

After this, the elderly couple also slept near Baba’s cot. Baba was sleeping covered with a blanket and was moaning as if someone was killing him. The couple started wondering what happened to Baba. Somehow the night passed and it was morning. Baba wrapped a sheet in the morning and gave it to the elderly couple and told them to make it flow in the Ganges. But don’t open it and see otherwise you can get into trouble. Baba also said that don’t worry, your son will return within a month. The couple was also taking the chadar to flow in the Ganges following Baba’s words.

While carrying the sheet, the couple felt that there was something iron-like in the sheet. But Baba had given a blank sheet. Baba had forbidden to open the sheet. That’s why the couple flowed into the river without opening it. According to Baba, after a month the son of the elderly couple also returned home from the Burma Front. This was the only son of the couple, who was a soldier in the British Army and was posted on the Burma Front during the Second World War. Seeing the son at home, the happiness of the elderly couple knew no bounds. But the son told his parents about such an incident, which they were surprised to hear.

The son said that, about a month back, one day he was surrounded by the enemy forces and the firing went on throughout the night. All his companions were also killed in this war but he alone survived. The son said that I don’t even know how I survived. He said that there was a lot of firing on him but not a single bullet hit him.

Throughout the night he fought among the Japanese enemies and survived. After this, another piece of British army came in the morning. Actually it was the same night, the night Neem Karoli Baba came and stayed at the old couple’s house. The eyes of the elderly couple were filled with tears that their son had returned home safely. Along with this, the couple also understood the miracle of Baba. This is the reason why Richard Alpert in his book ‘Miracle of Love’ has called this blanket a bulletproof blanket. Even today, Baba’s devotees offer blankets in the temple located at Kainchi Dham (neem karoli baba ashram kainchi dham). Baba himself always used to cover the blanket.
