The lady kept in touch as a Facebook friend, reading, commenting,
and asking questions on various topics related to Soul and Past-lives over
years, when one day, after a long gap she messaged me and wanted to
‘Talk’ urgently about something strange that was happening with her. She
told that since last few months she was hearing strange voices, having
recurring dreams and was witnessing ‘Presence’ of an elderly man, who

‘Understand’ her ‘Connection’ with ‘Him’. So we planned a session to
explore her ‘Connection’ with Baba Lokenath, who she felt was her
protector and guide.

In our meeting she told that last few years had been of great turmoil
in her personal and professional life, but somehow as if she was pulled by
a ‘strange force’ she had directed and dedicated her focus and energies to
the spiritual path, which had brought her a lot of solace and calm in her
turbulent times. Her recent experiences and appearance of Baba Lokenath
whom she now lovingly called ‘Baba’ (a term frequently used in India to
address an elderly/fatherly/saintly man) had convinced her that the ‘stange
