Once Baba Kinaram had taken refuge in a shelter on the banks of the Shipra river and stayed there for some time. The Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb also happened to be camping nearby with his army. Aurangzeb was known for his cruel actions. However, when he learnt that baba Kinaram was staying in the same area, he visited the hut in which baba was staying.

The all-knowing baba Kinaram first advised Aurangzeb to put an end to his inhuman acts. But when Aurangzeb failed to offer his promise to him, baba Kinaram sternly reprimanded him.  He told him that the religion in whose name he was committing such inhuman crimes, the same religion would not be able to save him from the reprimands of history. He then warned him that his own sons would become his enemies and would bring him great sorrow and pain.

There is also an incident that highlights baba Kinaram’s  respect for women folk. At the time when he was in Surat in Gujarat, news reached the baba that the inhabitants of the city were about to kill a young widow along with her new born baby and then throw their bodies in to the sea.  On hearing this, baba Kinaram forbade the people to refrain from the act. The mob argued that the woman was of immoral character and had given birth to an illegitimate child. To this, baba replied that they should then also kill the person who had fathered the illegitimate child and throw him in to the sea as well. Baba Kinaram also offered to identify the person from amongst the crowd.

On hearing this, the mob dispersed. And baba Kinaram ordered the poor widow to take shelter at the Samadhi(a burial site of a holy man where usually a small temple is built) of Nar singh that was closeby.

Later a powerful tornado destroyed the city of Surat. Since then, people became wary of baba Kinaram’s wrath and revered him
