Chapter 50: Boboji Gains Entry Into The Eternal Nikuna– 4

A State of Utmost Sanctity And Childlike Behaviour

Revered Bobo In A Trance

Bobo's mind had completely turned inwards to the soul. Apparently she would not contribute to any task in particular.Least interested in taking meals, she had become very much like a child.


Vijay Bhaiya

Vijay would often get a chance to gather her fondness and parental affection by staying in her proximity for hours at a stretch.He would feed her a morsel of food with a spoon and cajole her to take medicines as well as milk . Thankfully she would listen to his loving insistence.


The Madhuri of Handsome Krishna

Bobo constantly relished the sweetness of handsome Krishna.Everything appeared dull compared to that infinite delight.Very rarely she would say something to anyone.Repeatedly she had to be brought from her trance like state to the temporal world and an effort had to be made for feeding her milk and liquids. At times she would willingly have a bite and many a time not even be conscious of swallowing.Often when the morsel was put in her mouth it would remain wide open.On persistent requests she would close her mouth and not open it sometimes. She had become indifferent to taste.

Despite her childlike mannerisms and naivety pointing inwards to her soul, the sequence of chanting the Lord's name and counting it on her fingers went on.


The Beauteous Forms of Shri Radha-Krishna

Her eyes were absorbed in relishing the beauteous forms of Radha-Krishna.Actually speaking her mind and disposition had become detached from all observances. Bobo would continue with japa out of practice.Acquiring the state of utmost sanctity she had utterly shrunk within herself.

Amavasya was on 3rd February 1992 and the configuration of planets was fearsome.Well wishers who had come from Ambala had even consulted the doctor there.During this time span Dr.Nisha had arrived from Arunachal .Letters were constantly pouring in to inquire about Bobo's health. We got Shantanu and Poonam's letter from Jakarta (Indonesia) while Abay and Kalyani wrote from America. Basheshur Bhai from Chandigarh and Shri Shrish Bhaisaheb, Laxmi Bhaisaheb,Bahen Uma, Utma, Neelu, Manoj and many others corresponded.

At this end Bahen Indu wrote from Durgapur. Ever since childhood she had been trailing behind Bobo in school due to an unknown attraction. Everyone was moved by her uneasy, distraught and helpless feelings which were expressed. Anil, Mudit and others shifted here. Shri Lalit Bahenji and Chakrapaal Bhai Saheb would religiously come over every day and sometimes in the evening to ask about Bobo's health.

Shri Manohar Das ji, Venu Vinod Kunj

Shri Manohar Dasji,Shri Deviji, Manorma and others would stream in from Venu Vinod Kunj of Vrindavan. Meanwhile acquaintances of the colony and bahens of Baag Bundela as well as Barhi Kunj would incessantly pray for the recovery of Bobo.

All those who wished well did constant japa on Amavasya night. Bobo's physical agony aggravated but the night passed somehow.On seeing a bright morning everyone's worried and dejected faces hoped for the best.The days passed one by one as Bobo became mentally detached and turned inwards. She would not tell anyone a word and answer sparingly on being questioned.


Bobo (right) with Sushila Bahenji

On 6th or 7th February she wanted to say something when Sushila Bahenji asked (Vijay was also present) but kept quiet.Being assured that it would not be disclosed, she agreed to reveal the matter. Many a time she had easily borne ailments much more severe than this sickness and it seemed she would not go so soon.

“If the seva of Shri Thakurji is hindered due to ill health then this body will not last long,” this sentence of  Bobo's would jolt her followers at times.

Bobo Insisted That Dharam Bahenji Should Bid Her Farewell


Dharam Bahenji

Revered Usha Bahenjhi's physical ill health was becoming graver day by day. Bobo had particular affection for Dharam Bahenji who was greatly upset by her sickness. Shri Manohar Dasji had asked Bahenji to pray for Bobo's well being on the forbidding night of Amavasya and the crucial time had easily passed .Seeing Bobo's health deteriorate recently Dharamji was apprehensive. She began to do paath (recitation of a sacred text) again.This matter dates back to the first week of February 1992.

Towards the end of the second week Dharam Baheni was lying on her bed around two thirty – three at night. 

“Dharamji ! You must let me go as my task is over.The handsome Krishna is calling me. Let me leave,” she heard the voice of revered Bobo in that state of wakefulness.

Hearing this full sentence Dharam Bahenji was bewildered. She was scared of parting from Bobo and concerned about all her associates.

“No, no Bobo! What will come about your companions.At present they are engrossed in dedicated devotion. We will become orphans and get looted. I will not let you leave us,” responded Dharam Bahenji . 

With this utterance Dharam Bahenji was forlorn.

“You must not stop me,”Bobo appealed once more.

Handsome Lord Krishna

“You ought to let go of her. I am wanting to take her along. Her task is complete,”the solemn tone of handsome Krishna could be heard simultaneously.

“Who am I to stop her if you want to take her in your proximity?,” was Dharam Bahenji 's response.

” Well Bobo,'Goodbye-goodbye-goodbye,” reluctantly she gave in.

Wiping her streaming tears Dharam Bahenji stood up. 

“I merely kept hearing a sound but the conversation took place between dark-hued Krishna and Bobo for certain,” she had clarified later.

Shri Dharam Bahenji had got a clear indication of Bobo going into the proximity of Shyama-Shyam eight to ten days earlier but purposely narrated it on 21`st February, not wanting to make everyone depressed.

The cycle of destiny was in motion with the days passing by steadily.Not considering her pain to be a suffering, Bobo was bearing the agony happily.

The Vivid Perception of Shri Santoshji and Sarlaji

Revered Bobo's state of health had been grave since quite some time. On 14th or 15th February the bahens confirmed that Bobo was getting better and left.


Santosh Bahenji

Santosh Bahenji was preparing bhoga for her Thakurji when she saw Bobo rising upwards to a radiant mass of cosmic energy, the colour of the condensed sky.


Santosh Bahenji Saw Bobo Merging with Krishna

“Sarla! These women have affirmed that Ushaji is getting better but I can see her rising up to dissolve into the Absolute,” she said instantly, addressing Sarla Bahenji. 


Sarla Bahenji

“Yes! She is about to depart for certain,”soon after, Sarla Bahenji also affirmed

Roughly one and a half years after this incident Santosh Bahenji went to Venu Vinod Kunj to meet Shri Maharaj ji. 

 Shri Radha Baba of Gorakhpur

She had seen highly revered Radha Baba merge with God in the same manner. To hear that perception of hers Ghanshyam ji asked Bahenji and she instinctively narrated the entire event. Futhermore, she affirmed that the vision she had seen regarding the departure of Ushaji had been even more clear than this sight.
