Once, a devotee from Chennai, had fallen asleep on the second floor corridor of the Belur Math building. While going upstairs in the middle of the night, Baburam Maharaj (Swami Premananda) noticed the sleeping man and seeing that he had no mosquito curtain to protect him, he at once brought out a curtain and fixed it over the man. Moreover, in order to drive away the mosquitoes, he himself set about slowly fanning him. When the man woke up, he was completely overwhelmed by his affectionate act.One day when many devotees were visiting the math, a dark cloud suddenly covered the sky, and in a moment, rain poured down. A brahmachari (celibate) quickly started moving the visitors’ shoes to a dry place on the western veranda of the Math-building. Baburam Maharaj saw that he was moving the shoes using his feet, and admonished him saying, ‘You should carry the shoes of the devotees on your head.’
