What was Maharaj's approach to healing the sick, and did it change over time?

📖 Chapter 0

Initially, Maharaj's approach to healing was quite direct and charitable. Chapter 0 explains that he used to give out medicines to people and never took any money for this service. He would even personally care for patients who were not being looked after properly. However, his methods evolved. He later stopped administering medicine and instead began giving only Udi, or sacred ash, which people found to be beneficial. Maharaj himself explained this transition, stating, 'I used to give medicine to people before. Later, I stopped giving medicine and started saying 'Hari Hari', and while saying Hari Hari, I met Hari,' indicating a shift from physical remedies to a more spiritual form of healing.
