Mohan Prakash/Supaul: The people of Kosi region have immense faith in the renowned saint and Indian literary figure Paramhansa Lakshminath Gosai. It is believed that due to the power of Babaji (as he is affectionately called), the people of this area attain immense knowledge. Mohan Prakash was born in the village of Parasarama in the Sadar block of Supaul district. It is believed that even today, people’s heartfelt wishes are fulfilled in his hut. Moreover, the soil from that place and the water from Babaji’s footprints provide relief from evil eye for both humans and animals. The caretaker of the hut, Dinesh Jha, mentioned that the footprints of Babaji and the temple of Lord Narayan are present in the hut. It is said that if someone’s cow starts giving less milk or if animals are affected by evil eye in the surrounding areas, then giving them the water from Babaji’s footprints and washing them with the water brings relief from all kinds of evil eye. It also provides liberation from spiritual disturbances.
According to the worshipper Sri Jha, who has authored six books, Sant Lakshminath Gosai was born on December 7, 1793, in the home of Bachha Jha and Nirmala Devi, residents of Parasarama.
