The couple's devotion to Neem Karoli Baba is well-documented, with frequent visits to his ashrams in various cities. Born as Lakshman Narayan Sharma in 1900, Baba Neem Karoli left his worldly possessions at the age of 11 to embark on a spiritual journey. He became a devout follower of Lord Hanuman and earned the title of Maharaj-ji. He settled in the village of Neeb Karori, which was often misspelt as Neem Karoli, and this is how he got his name.

At his father's behest, Neem Karoli Baba eventually returned to family life, while also continuing his spiritual practices. His teachings and spiritual lessons captivated locals and eventually gained popularity in the West, attracting numerous American visitors in the 1960s and 1970s who sought to learn from his wisdom, notably his teachings on Bhakti Yoga.
