Neem Karoli Baba

The place came to the limelight after Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg told Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during the last week’s town hall meeting, that Steve Jobs had recommended he visit Neem Karoli Baba’s (Maharajji) ashram in Kainchi.

Zuckerberg visited the ashram at a time when he and Facebook were going through a tough time. The Facebook founder had arrived here with just a book in his hand and he was supposed to stay here for one day but he spent two days.

Apple founder Steve Jobs visited the Ashram to meet Neem Karoli Baba with his friend Dan Kottke. He, however, could not meet Baba who had died before his arrival.

Neem Karoli Baba, or Neeb Karori Baba, was a Hindu guru born in 1900 in Uttar Pradesh, India. His teachings focused on love and devotion to God, and he was known for his miracles. Notable followers include Ram Dass, Bhagavan Das, and Steve Jobs. He passed away in 1973, but his influence persists through books, films, and documentaries.
