NEW DELHI/LONDON: Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, who is popularly known as the Bageshwar Dham Sarkar, faced an uncomfortable situation in Leicester, United Kingdom when a girl alleged that “everything is fixed'' in the godman’s ‘Divya Darbar’ (divine court). The Indian girl, who is settled in the United Kingdom, claimed that Baba Bageshwar plays some kind of tricks and knows things beforehand. The girl also claimed that she has come to Baba Bageshwar’s ''Divya Darbar'' after consulting her close friend.

She admitted that her friend and her mother have deep faith in Baba Bageshwar, and that’s why she has come to his divine court in Leicester. However, she wondered how is it possible for an ordinary human being to know what’s in the mind of another person.


Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri then told the girl about the conversation she just had with her friend over the phone. Revealing her well-kept secret, Baba Bageshwar then told her that she wanted to marry the person with whom she came to the court. 


Baba Bageshwar then revealed that the girl was once cheated in love and that she is still looking for a suitable life partner. The Bageshwar Dham Sarkar then took out her scroll and assured the girl that her boyfriend would be a perfect choice for her and that she should marry him. 


The girl, after hearing all that, said, "Now I am fully convinced that what you have is something different. People sometimes become selfish and think about themselves, but you certainly have some divine power.’’


It may be noted that Baba Bageshwar is currently holding his Divya Darbar in London.
