(Louhi was the powerful woman in the Finnish mythology.)

Pyhä Äiti nyt sua siunatkoon

valo Äidin tietäs ohjatkoon
nyt ja ainiaan
 nyt ja ainiaan.

THREE TYPES OF GURUS

Sri Bhoginanda with his assistant

  A business man offers the latest model of iPhone,
Little Red Corvette and Lear Jet 

to get blessings for his company

Sri Bhoginanda invites an unhappy girl to be his private secretary

To the young man who is seeking the meaning of life 

Sri Bhoginanda gives a mantra:

"God is money, money is God."

Matajii Devi

Devotees of Matajii confess their missdeeds and ask her forgiveness

Matajii lovingly takes them to her lap and forgives everything.

Devotees feel so high that they leave to a pub for a drink or two.

Baba with Ramanandajii in Calcutta in the 1980s

A rich man offers his half month's salary and asks success.

Baba tells Ramananda to beat the man

 for using children as workers and polluting the environment. 

After the hard punishment the man promises to change and receives Baba's blessings

A deadly sick man asks Baba's help. Baba reveals the man's

dark secret of having abused a girl. Baba scolds him severly

 and tells him  to lick the shoes of those present.

 In addition his duty will be to open a shelter 

for abused women and single mothers. 

Then Baba cures part of the disease 

with the touch of his stick 

and tells the rest will be cured 

if he accomplishes those tasks...

Baba leaves with Ramananda 

and the men start dancing and singing kiirtan,

audience joining...

Next day:

Gopala is offering beatings for removing samskaras

Marrige Ceremony

Ac. Kapila and Mirabai

Param Pita Baba Kii, Jai!
