Who is Neem Karoli Baba?
Kohli and Anushka are devoted followers of Neem Karoli Baba, who passed away in 1973. The couple has frequently been seen visiting his ashrams in various cities.
Born in 1900 as Lakshman Narayan Sharma, Baba Neem Karoli left home soon after his marriage at the age of 11 to lead a life free from worldly possessions. A devout follower of the Hindu deity Hanuman, he became known as Maharaj-ji.
After traveling across India as a saint, he settled in the village of Neeb Karori, which was often misspelled as Neem Karoli. This is how he came to be known as Neem Karoli Baba. At his father’s request, he eventually returned to family life, having two sons and a daughter, while continuing his spiritual practices.
Neem Karoli Baba’s teachings and spiritual lessons captivated locals and eventually gained popularity in the West. In the 1960s and 1970s, many Americans visited him to learn his wisdom, particularly his teachings on Bhakti Yoga.
