Shammi Kapoor’s Guru Hadakhan Baba.
Like every other camphor of Raj Kapoor family, Shammi Kapoor was also fond of drinking alcohol. He used to drink alcohol every day. Not a single night was cut without alcohol. Shammi Kapoor, who appeared cheerful and all -round on the screen, was actually a person of angry nature, but a mysterious person changed his life. There was an entry of a person who completely changed him in his life and after this change he was really connected to spirituality. He considered this person as his guru and talked about this change himself. This guru was none other than Harakhan Baba- the mysterious yogi of Uttarakhand, who made Shammi Kapoor ‘Mahatma ji’.
Such was the first meeting
In 1974, the family of famous film actor Shammi Kapoor’s wife invited Hadkhan Baba to his house. Shammi Kapoor had no interest in meeting him. In those days he had many films and he was busy shooting. He was also present there to emphasize the family and sat in a corner and started taking photographs of Hadekhan Baba. Meanwhile, his attention went to Baba and he realized that Hadakhan Baba’s eyes are on him. Shammi had never experienced this before. This meeting brought a change inside Shammi. After this he felt that he should go to Baba’s ashram in Nainital.
Such a missed alcohol
This first meeting changed a lot inside Shammi Kapoor. He once again reached Baba’s ashram in Nainital to meet him. He went there with full arrangements. He also took liquor bottles, meats, materials of singing and singing. He was fond of all this and he did not get cut without it even one day. He felt that he would not be able to live in his ashram. On reaching there, Baba laughed and said ‘Mahatma ji’. Shammi Kapoor received this comfort. He stayed for 12 days in the ashram and did not drink alcohol and ate non -veg. Later he kept calling him by this name. Even after going there, his influence remained on the actor and gradually he lost his habit of drinking alcohol and he started living deeply. Shammi Kapoor was completely immersed in spirituality at his last time. He also created a website which was dedicated to Hadakhan Baba and he used to narrate Baba’s stories in Sami Kapoor unplugged show.
Shammi used to get very angry
In an interview, Shammi Kapoor’s wife Neela Devi said, ‘Yes, she was of angry nature. He could not tolerate some things. I will say this in this way. If someone had someone on their toes, he would immediately react. So there were such things in parties. He used to drink a lot of alcohol in those days, but it was a good thing for him that the next day, he wanted to know from me what happened. Gradually, he changed. When it came to alcohol and cigarette, they did not listen to anyone. He did not drink alcohol from January 1 to January 21 throughout the year. Geeta Bali (first wife) fell ill on 1 January and died on 21 January. Since the death of Geeta Bali, she followed this every year throughout her life.

Neela Devi was already devotees
Neela Devi told that her mother-in-law’s parents started getting sick and Raj Kapoor was very busy. In such a situation, Shammi Kapoor had stopped his films for two years and were taking full care of their parents. She says, ‘That era brought us very close to Shammi ji’s parents and he blessed us a lot. It was not easy for Shammi ji to stay away from work for 2 years. After my in -laws passed, they went to Mauritius and then we met our Guru Ji Hadakhan Baba. I used to believe in the Hadakhan Baba for a long time, who was known as Bhole Baba. He had never believed in any Guru ji before Bhole Baba, but gradually he started believing in him. This changed our life. Our son Aditya was also married in our Guru’s ashram.
Neela told how to gradually change Shammi
Shammi Kapoor also said that Baba did not ask him to follow anything, he decided to change it naturally. Neela Devi also talked about this and said, ‘And pay attention, our Guru never imposed anything on Shammi ji. Nevertheless, Shammi became so connected to our new route that he started traveling with our Guru ji. He then started playing the character, which he did not want to do before. He was in a dilemma before accepting the character role. This happened because her first character was in the role ‘Jamir’ with Saira Bano the heroine. Now you see Saira was her first heroine, but I told her that she is an artist and he should never think about such things. Further, Neela Devi says that all the changes came in them because of Baba. She also says that she used to smoke 100 cigarettes every day.

Who is Baba Kheda
On a morning of June 1970 in Uttarakhand, a young man was seen in a rocky cave in Hadakhan, a village on the banks of the Ganges. The person was 27-28 years old. He was sharp on his face, when he sat at the tomb, he got up after 45 days. Nobody knew the name of this person. People started calling him Hadekhan Baba. Many people also called Uso Mahavatar Baba. People said that these are the same ‘Mahavatar Baba’ who lived in the Himalayas since ages. By the way, it was worth noting that earlier in that area, there was a haradakhan Baba between 1860 and 1922. In September 1971, this person reached the court and claimed that it is the same Hadekhan Baba and has returned to the new body. He presented several evidence in the court and convinced the people that he was the same. His popularity increased and he kept giving the message of all religion equality.
