Baba

Since Baba left His physical body on the morning of 24th April 2011 I have been hearing and reading from a number of sources, whether it be newspapers, TV or talk amongst devotees (and some non-devotees) that Baba did not live till 96 as He earlier prophesied.

I would like to put a stop to all this talk and ensure everyone is aware that our Beloved Bhagawan did not go against His word and indeed lived till 96.

We all follow and recognise the Christian calendar in everyday lives, however Baba did not – He followed the lunar calendar (Hindu calendar is lunar based too). We can be sure of this as Baba recently celebrated the sighting of 1000 moons within His lifetime. Therefore, if we do the maths we work His age out as follows;

1. According to the lunar calendar; 1 year = 324 days
2. Baba saw 85 years and 153 days (i.e. up to 24.04.2011) of the Christian calendar; therefore He saw an equivalent of (85 x 365) + 153 = 31178 days of the Christian calendar
3. If we convert this to the lunar calendar we see; 31178 / 324 = 96.2 years

Fellow devotees, please be sure to send this page, calculation to all who question Baba’s integrity and prophecies.
