One hand supports the head like a loving pillow...the other fanning the dog to sleep. People got amused and laughed, thinking him to be a crazy baba. To be frank I also thought so. When I returned after a couple of hours, he was still fanning the dog to sleep with the same loving passion. I thought there must be something wrong with the dog otherwise why would it lie so still with closed eyes in broad daylight with hundreds of feet tapping the narrow street. So I sit down to chat. 'Maybe the dog is sick,' I ask. He laughs and points to a big food bowl, 'No Badal ate too much and who won't sleep with fan air and palm to support?' The dog's name is Badal. 'This also is Bhagwan's avatar. If you can't love a dog, how will you love humans, and if you can't love humans, how will you love God,' he elaborates his simple spiritual equation. He was offered to Joona Akshara at an early age. I ask him does he miss his parents sometimes. He cracks a big laugh, 'What a question! He is the biggest Mai Baap!' He brandishes his fan towards Lord Shiva's statue above us. I feel embarrassed. Yes he is under the protection of the biggest Baap!
