This incident is from the time when baba Kinaram was residing near Kreen Kund in Varanasi. There was a brahmin woman who was an ardent follower of a Saint who lived nearby and she served him with devotion day after day.  Touched by her devotion, the Saint once asked the woman what was it that she desired?

The brahmin woman told him that she had not been blessed with a single child so far. On hearing this, the saint wetnt in to deep meditation and in that deep state of meditation he sought an explanation of her condition from his “Isht Devta” i.e the god in whom he had the greatest faith. Enlightened by his brief communication with his “Isht Devta”, he told the brahmin woman that she was destined by fate to remain childless.

On her way back, the dejected, broken down woman met anothe rlady from her neighbourhood who advised her to go to Baba Kinaram.

Baba Kinaram as was nature, scolded and hit the woman mildly with his stick four times. And in due course of time, she was blessed with four children. She took her children to the Saint she had once served and he too was surprised by this miracle. The saint again went in to deep meditation for communion with his “Isht Devta” and asked him how did the woman manage to have children? To this, his “Isht Devta” asked him to arrange some flesh of a living man for him if he wanted to know the story. The Saint showed his inability to do so. His “Isht Devta” then asked him to seek some flesh from baba Kinaram. When the saint approached baba, he opened up his right thigh and cut a piece of flesh and handed t over to him. The “Isht Devta” then took the piece of flesh and explained to the saint that while both baba Kinaram and he had the same flesh, yet when the time came baba Kinaram gladly gave away his own flesh while he could not. That was the reason why baba Kinaram had the power to bless the woman and cure her of her childlessness when the saint could not.

The divine powers of the water in Kreen Kund - One fateful day, an old widow brought her son who was on death bed and putting him at the feet of baba Kinaram, started weeping and begged him for help. Baba Kinaram threw some grains of rice in the waters of the kreen kund and recited some mantra’s. And then he said to all present that from now on, anyone who would bathe in the waters of the Kreen Kund for five tuesdays and sundays would be freed of all his sufferings. And the Kund will remain in Kashi(Varanasi) as long as the Ganga remianed in Kashi. Since those days, folllowers and believers from far off places come to bathe in the Kreen Kund to be free of their sufferings.
