"There can be no biography of him. Facts are few, stories many. He seems to have been known by different names in many parts of India, appearing and disappearing through the years. His western devotees of recent years knew him as Neem Karoli Baba, but mostly as "Maharajji" - a nickname so commonplace in India that one can often hear a tea vendor addressed thus. Just as he said, he was 'nobody.' The briefest, simplest stories were his teachings. Sometimes he sat in silence . . . but bliss and peace poured down on us.-Anjani "In 1967 I met Neem Karoli Baba, a meeting which changed the course of my life. In the depth of his compassion, wisdom, humor, power and love I found human possibility never before imagined.an extraordinary integration of spirit and form. I was with him only briefly, for he left his body in 1973. Still he entered my heart as living truth, and his presence continues to enrich and guide my life ."-Ram Dass
