Film 'Hanuman Ansh' becomes a hit thanks to devotion to Nim Karoli Baba; composer encounters a miracle in Kanti Dham

The film 'Hanuman Ansh', based on the life of Nim Karoli Baba, has won the hearts of viewers and become one of the most successful pictures in Bollywood history. Six weeks have passed since its release in cinemas, yet the film's box office collections show no significant decline.

The film's musical score has also received recognition due to numerous spiritual songs and hymns that continue to be played. Viewers particularly appreciated the song 'Siyawar Ram Chandra Ki Jai.'

Composer Dhirendra Mulkawar, who has worked on music for many films in Bollywood, created several touching compositions for 'Hanuman Ansh'. In a recent interview with News 18, he spoke about working on the film, calling it a kind of miracle.

Dhirendra Mulkawar has always been a devoted follower of Nim Karoli Baba. Before starting work on the film, he visited Baba's ashram in Kanti Dham. The composer noted that he considers this a stroke of luck, as for the last six or seven years, he had prayed to visit Kanti Dham and receive Baba's blessings but could not do so.

Only last April did he finally get the opportunity to visit Kanti Dham. Just two or three months after this trip, he was called by Vishal.

The composer was unaware of director Vishal Chaturvedi's intentions, who at the time was undergoing 43 days of spiritual practice for the film, reciting the 'Hanuman Chalisa'. Dhirendra reported that as soon as he was offered the role in the film, he accepted instantly, without needing long consideration. He mentioned to Vishal that he had only visited Kanti Dham two or three months prior.

He emphasized: 'An important point was that neither of us knew about our connection to Nim Karoli Baba. Vishal did not know that I had revered Babaji for many years, and I did not know that Vishal was making a film about the life of Nim Karoli Baba. Therefore, getting this film seemed like a miracle to me. It truly felt to me as if it was destined that I should make this film.'

As for the film 'Hanuman Ansh' itself, it has exceeded the mark of 200 crore rupees at the box office. At the time of writing this news, the film's total revenue already exceeded 201 crore rupees.

After his son's wish was granted, a devotee from Chhattisgarh presented the deity with a gold crown worth 14 lakhs

For some, visiting Shirdi is just a trip; for others, it is an act of faith, and for some, it is such a deep connection that many decades of life pass under the images of Sai Baba. Tarachand Chopkar, who lives in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, has a similar profound connection with Sai Baba.

According to Tarachand, he has been visiting Shirdi to worship Sai Baba for about 55 years. During this time, his family has grown, life has changed, but his faith in Sai Baba has remained unwavering. After his son's wish was fulfilled, the family presented a richly decorated gold crown to the Sai Baba temple, valued at approximately 14 lakh rupees.

Tarachand Chopkar arrived from Raipur to Shirdi with his family, carrying a special gift he intended to present to Sai Baba's feet—it was a golden carved crown. The family delivered the crown to the Sai Baba temple and offered it to Baba according to the temple's procedures. During this event, the temple administration honored Tarachand Chopkar and his family.

This story is related to the fulfillment of a heartfelt wish. According to Tarachand Chopkar, this wish concerned his son. He recounted that the family had asked Sai Baba to grant a specific wish, and after its realization, they decided to show their gratitude to Baba by presenting the gold crown.

Tarachand emphasized that Sai Baba's benevolence towards him and his family is so great that it is difficult to describe in words. He noted that this is not just a gold crown, but a gift symbolizing years of faith and a fulfilled desire.

According to Tarachand Chopkar, the crown presented to Sai Baba weighs about 9 tolas of gold and is adorned with fine carving. Its value is approximately 14 lakh rupees. However, for Tarachand and his family, its value is not limited to market price; it carries the significance of the fulfilled wish and the faith they have felt near Sai Baba over many years.

Tarachand Chopkar shared his feelings about Sai Baba, saying that Baba shows immense mercy towards him and his family. He added that he has been visiting Shirdi for about 55 years, and during this long period, his devotion to Sai Baba has only strengthened.

The Sai Baba Temple in Shirdi is a major center of faith not only in the country but worldwide. Thousands of pilgrims arrive here daily. Some come with requests for employment, others pray for family well-being, and some simply come for Darshan (sight) of Baba. When someone's wish is fulfilled, many devotees offer something as a gift to Baba according to their faith.

Steve Jobs' Unfulfilled Desire to Meet Neem Karoli Baba and the Influence of a Spiritual Teacher

The film 'Hanuman Ansh,' dedicated to the life of the spiritual teacher Neem Karoli Baba, is demonstrating success at the box office. This film showcases Baba's miraculous abilities and his teachings aimed at the welfare of humanity.

Interest in Neem Karoli Baba increased after Indian cricketer Virat Kohli visited his ashram. However, even before Kohli, Steve Jobs' destiny was changed by Neem Karoli Baba.

This incident occurred in the 1970s when Steve Jobs was searching for spirituality in India, which is considered a center of spirituality. His college friend, Daniel Kotke, advised Steve to come to India and told him about Neem Karoli Baba. But by the time Steve could travel to India and see Baba, he had already entered samadhi. Neem Karoli Baba passed away on September 11, 1973. Therefore, when Steve traveled to India in 1974 to explore spiritual matters, he did not meet Baba.

In an interview given to Playboy in 1985, Steve mentioned his experience traveling to India. He noted that this trip played a role in changing his worldview and called it significant. Following the guidance of Neem Karoli Baba, Steve achieved career success. It is said that Steve advised Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, to visit Kainti Dham during a difficult period for the company. According to available information, Mark visited Baba's ashram in Kainti Dham on Steve's advice. This spiritual journey gave him a new direction regarding the company's original goal and path.

Hollywood star Julia Roberts also spoke about being impressed by Neem Karoli Baba. In one interview, Julia recounted how Baba's image evoked attraction in her, even though she knew nothing about him at the time. Neem Karoli Baba's thoughts influenced people all over the world and abroad.

Neem Karoli Baba's story is currently generating excitement on the cinematic screen. The film, created with a budget of only 20 million rupees, caused a sensation at the box office. What the big-budget film 'Toxic' could not achieve, 'Hanuman Ansh' managed to do. 'Toxic' failed in comparison to Baba's devotion. The film collected over 150 million rupees. For Bollywood, this low-budget film serves as an example proving that content is the true king.
