Baba nurtured the concept of Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam (the world as one family). He gathered devotees from all over the world, young and old, men and women, of all castes, creeds, and nationalities, as one large family. He himself was the respected elder. His blood relations merged within this world-wide large family. Baba treated all equally........Baba often spoke to the assembly of his devotees,” All are born into this world with natural wisdom, and God is the great giver of this wisdom." In reality, the truth is, who could teach him and teach him what? He knew everything and was endowed with spiritual powers from birth. It is said that when he was just a child, he told his family that there would be burglars in the house that night. Taking it to be a child's imagination, no one heeded this warning. But his words turned out to be true, as burglars broke into the house that very night.

Baba led a simple life and he was always concerned for the welfare of others. He would be seen solving the problems of ordinary people who did not even know him....The very embodiment of Compassion and Grace Baba was a benevolent father to all. He did not discriminate. He went to people himself and redeemed them by his grace; he helped spiritual aspirants to progress in their paths. He looked after many, providing..... Education...matrimonial alliances.... children for the childless.... Protected people from impeding calamities...and on certain occasions even brought the dead back to life. His acts were beyond comprehension, they puzzled the human mind. In short, nothing was impossible for him. Baba was unique.

...Baba left the mortal world... on the 11th of September 1973......

The lilas emanating from His celestial body still continue uninterrupted. People experience His Grace continuously even after his Maha Samadhi. He is a divine being and is above life and death.

Divine Reality Shri Baba Neeb Karori Ji Maharaj by Ravi Prakash Pande 'Rajida'

…" 1967 I met my Guru. That meeting changed the course of my life, for through him I came to perceive my life in spiritual terms. In him I found new depths of compassion, love, wisdom, humor, and power, and his actions stretched my understanding of the human possibility. I recognize in him an alliance of the human and the divine."

…After our initial meeting I remained in India , as close to him as I was allowed to be, for five months before returning to America . Before leaving India I had received his ashirbad (blessing) for a book, which until that moment I had no thought of writing. His blessing...gave raise to (the book)….

from Be Here Now by Ram Dass

From the beginning I had wanted to share him with others, but initially he forbade me bringing people directly to him. A relatively few (several hundred) Westerners nevertheless found their way to him and were touched at the core of their beings as I had been. On September 11, 1973, he died, or, as the Indians would say, he left his body."

In the succeeding years, I have found that the absence of his body has not diminished his influence upon my life. With each passing year I have increasingly experience his presence, his guidance, his love, and each time I have taken myself too seriously, his cosmic giggle .This suggested the possibility of others who have never "met" him in his body could similarly be touched by him. This suspicion has been confirmed by a surprisingly large number of people....have experienced him in a way that has graced their lives.

Miracle of Love , Stories About Neem Karoli Baba by Ram Dass

Maharaj was at the Haldwani Furniture Mart, with one of his devotees, Puran Chandra Joshi. He tells us that while talking to others, Baba became absorbed in some deep thought and remained silent in that mood for some time. Then he said faintly, "Puran, give a spoonful of water to drink. He is in agony." Joshi could not understand what the matter was, but nevertheless he poured two spoonfuls of water into Baba's mouth. After some time, two tears fell from his eyes and Baba said to Puran Chandra, "Raman is no more. India has lost a great Saint today."

This incident occurred on the day that Maharishi Raman left his body in Arunachal.
