Jalaram Bapa Miracles

There are numerous Parcha (experiences) about Saint Shree Jalaram Bapa’s greatness. Shree Bapa had resurrected the birds that the Arabs had kept in a bag. Arabs were astounded and accepted that they were in the presence of a great divine being. Shree Bapa had saved the life of a Muslim’s son, so even Muslim devotees addressed Shree Bapa as ” Jalla so Allah kahevay!”

At one stage, God decided to put Shree Bapa to the test and appeared in the form of old Sadhu, instructing him to send Virbai to serve him. Shree Bapa dispatched VirbaiMa with Sadhu after consulting with VirbaiMa. Sadhu asked VirbaiMa to wait for him after walking a few miles, but Sadhu did not return. However, VirbaiMa overheard Akashwani say that it was just a test for you and Shree Bapa, so please take Jholi and Dhoko to your home. These Jholi and Dhoko are inside the virpur temple, with Ram Darbar as the Supreme Lord’s Prasad.

Another legend holds that Ma Devi Ganga and the Yamuna themselves came to Jalaram Bapa’s house every day to refill the water. Even today, devotees of Shree Bapa experience the Parcha of Shree Bapa in various ways. On Thursday, many devotees fasted and visited the temple.
