On MAHAPRAYAN DIWAS 21st October held worldwide BABA STORY: WHERE HAS BABA GONE Namaskar, As every Ananda Margii knows, when Baba was living in Madhu Malainca, i.e. the Babas Quarter (BQ) residence in Lake Gardens, Kolkata, then He would occasionally go to the Tiljala compound and remain there for a day, 3 days, or however long He wished. This was part of Babas regular program those days. Furthermore, at each and every BQ, one Dada is posted as the caretaker and he attends to the various duties regarding the maintenance and upkeep of the BQ. Once, what happened, one time in the late 1980s, Baba went to Tiljala and after a few days He came back. And according to the system or protocol, many margiis, including the caretaker Dada, received Baba by singing Prabhat Samgiita when He returned back to Madhu Malainca (Lake Gardens). When coming out from His car, after receiving a mala from the caretaker, in a very gracious and jolly mood, Baba smiled and softly asked, While I was away, when anyone asked you, Where has Baba gone, what did you tell them?. Baba, I told them that, Baba has gone to Tiljala, the caretaker replied. And when I go to Ananda Nagar then what do you say when anyone asks you, Where has Baba gone, Baba asked. Then I tell them that, Baba has gone to Ananda Nagar, the caretaker responded. Hearing this Baba started smiling and asked another question. What if I go somewhere and I do not tell you where I have gone, in that situation what will you say to people when they ask you, Where has Baba gone?. Then the caretaker kept quiet. He was now in a fix as he had no idea how to respond to Babas query. Rather he was thinking that he would reply, I do not know. Seeing this, Baba Himself gave the answer, If I go somewhere and I do not tell you where I have gone, in that situation when anyone asks you, Where has Baba gone?, in that case you should tell them that, Baba has gone in your heart. Baba then inquired, Do you understand?. Yes Baba, the caretaker said.
