The Guru, staying for short periods at many places and blessing people with the Lord's name came northward and reached Monghyr. Here, a gurdwara exists. Then, he went to Bhagalpur. Again, staying at some places and blessing people he came to Raj Mahal. From here, moving northward he reached Malda. Gurdwaras exist at all the places.
This town is on the banks of the river Maha Nand. Here, a rich man lived like kings. His name was Ram Dev Babu. He lived a worldly, luxurious life but he was a pious man. He owned a garden, where the Guru stayed. In this garden, he had grown mangoes and it was giving good income.
Ram Dev Babu had constructed a guest room in the garden for saints and sadhus to stay. Whenever, a good saint came, he could stay in the garden without any hesitation. One day, Mardana was playing the rebeck and the divine song was spreading sweet fragrance when Ram Dev Babu arrived.
At that time, the true Guru was himself singing a divine song. The divine song had a magical effect on Ram Dev Babu. His mind turned from worldly desires towards the Lord. Then, he started coming in the morning as well as in the evening to listen to the divine songs and would not let the Guru leave.
He got very much attracted to the Guru. The Guru stayed there for the rest of the rainy season. Mardana also wanted to stay at one place in this rainy season. His wish was also fulfilled. Many people came to meet the Guru and a good holy congregation was formed. Ram Dev Babu's entire family became Guru-disciples. People from far and near became Guru-disciples and were blessed by him. Then, he departed from here.
