Shahdol (Madhya Prdesh): While the natural beauty spreads its distinct shade among the dense forests on the borders of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, there is an ashram on the hill called the Ramvan Ashram, where a 60-years old monk lives with his two helpers for the last seven years.

This monk Baba Ramdas is very popular in the area due to his immense love for the wild animals. The bond between the wild bears and baba is so amazing that they come to his ashram in just a single call.

Wild-friend! Wild bears are his true friends, respond to his calls

Covering a distance of 110 kilometres from Shahdol to Rajmanada forest, when the team of ETV Bharat reached the ashram, Baba Ramdas was preparing for puja by lighting up the fragrance sticks.

After performing puja, Baba blew his Conch Shell and drums and this continued as one after another two Bears appeared from the forest and silently reached the hut.

As soon as Baba Ramdas blow his conch and play his drums and shells, the animals not only silently and devotedly hear the bhajan but also partake in the ‘prasad’ gratefully.

He named the bears as Chunnu, Munnu, Lalli, Gallu and Munna.

"Whenever I called them, they reach to my ashram in a single call. I used to feed them every day with my hands but the most amazing thing is that they never harm anyone of us", narrated Ramdas.

In today's world, full of hurry, where human relations fail every day, this relation beyond city limits, in the forest between wild bears and an old man makes one think that whether animals know how to respond to love better or whether the human life has lost love somewhere?
