BAPA LEAVES THE WORLD

Sister Galal went to Upreli and stayed there for a day more at the request of her affectionate brother. On teh third day she returned to Virpur but on her way she met Jalaram Bapa who was coming from the other end with a jar of cold water. He said, "Sister, it's very hot and you must be tired. So I have brought cold water for you". Saying this he gave the water to her and walked along with her.

When they came near Virpur, Bapa said, "Sister, now is the time for the sadhus to come. So let me walk fast." He walked fast and disapeared. When Galal reached the outskirts of Virpur ahe saw a pyre burning there. All the people of the village were lamenting. So she asked who passed away. The reply was "Jalaram bapa!" 'Oh Bapa!' Galal fell down unconcious.

On Wednesday, February 23, 1881, the tenth day of the dark half of Mahg, Vikram era 1937 Bapa left the world while praying God, at the age of eighty one.
