become Muslims. From today onwards they do not have any relation<br />
with us.<br />
Poor Gauri Shankar and Saraswati became helpless. The<br />
Muslims kept the man’s name as Neeru and the woman’s name as<br />
Neema. Previously, whatever donation they used to get was running<br />
their livelihood, and whatever money was saved, they did not use to<br />
misuse it. They used to do a religious bhandara 1 from the remaining<br />
money. Now even the donation stopped coming. They thought now<br />
what work shall we do? They installed a hand-mill and started<br />
working as weavers. At that time also after fulfilling their needs,<br />
they used to spend the remaining money in bhandara. The Hindu<br />
Brahmins had prohibited Neeru-Neema from taking bath in Ganga.<br />
They used to say that now you have become Muslims.<br />
The water of Ganga, splashing through waves, used to fill a big<br />
lake named Lahar Tara in Kaashi city. It used to remain filled with<br />
very pure water. Lotus flower were growing in it. In 1398 A.D.<br />
(Vikrami Samvat 1455) on a full moon day in the month of Jyesth<br />

became seated on a lotus flower in Lahar Tara lake in Kaashi city.<br />
Neeru and Neema were going to the same lake to take bath early<br />
morning in Brahm-Muhurat. A very bright mass of light (Parmeshwar<br />
Kabir <strong>Ji</strong> had come in form of a child with a very bright body; because<br />
of the distance, appeared only as a mass of light) came from above<br />
(from Satyalok) and became contained in the lotus flower, by which<br />
the entire Lahar Tara Lake started dazzling, and then going in one<br />
corner, it disappeared. One of the disciples of Ramanand <strong>Ji</strong>,<br />
Rishi 2 Ashtanand <strong>Ji</strong> was seeing this spectacle with his own eyes.<br />
Ashtanand <strong>Ji</strong> also used to go to a solitary place to take bath everyday.<br />
Sitting there used to do jaap of the mantra which Gurudev had given<br />
and used to enjoy the nature. When Swami Ashtanand <strong>Ji</strong> saw that<br />
such a bright light that even the eyes were dazzled, Rishi <strong>Ji</strong> thought<br />
