"...In February, 1981, after completing a nine-day yagya in Bombay, Sri Babaji and a small party flew to Calcutta for a brief stay, at the urgent request of Sri Sib Narayan nandi. Nandi Baba, as Sri Nandi was called, not only wanted Sri Babaji to bless his house and household and devotees in Calcutta by His visit, but he also wanted his long-time family guru, Sri Sri Sitaram Das Onkarnathji, to have Sri Babaji's darsan..
Sri Sri Onkarnathji was then in his early 90's, an widely known and recognized miracle-working saint, and guru to tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands of Indians and foreigners, with ashrams in fifty-five or sixty of India's holy places.
On the day after His arrival in Calcutta, a large hall was furnished to allow Sri Babaji to give darsan to His devotees. Sri Sitaram Das was brought to this place in a car and carried on the shoulders of one of his devotees to the door of the reception hall where Sri Babaji sat. People were full of curiosity to see what would happen when the established, 90 year old saint met the young looking Babaji.
At the door, Sri Sri Onkaranathji got down from the shoulder of his devotee and, with difficulty, walked up the aisle to Babaji's dais. There, Sri Sri Onkaranathji prostrated himself - lay flat on the flour - before Sri Babaji.
Then, refusing the offered dais and still sitting on the floor, with folded hands and flowing tears, he told Sri Babaji that he had completed the work that Babaji had assigned to him.
Then he stood up and told the assembled people: "Sri Sri Babaji is God and I am His servant. He is Akhan Parambrahma Omkar Bhagavan, I Have seen Him as Lord Krsna. (Lord Krsna is the God Sri Sitaram Das worshipped)..."
