Ananda Varta, Volume 40 #3, the AnandaMayi Ma newsletter writes about Pagala Baba of Ranchi. "Tantric Yogiraj Sri Sri Pagal Baba of Ranchi used to say that Ranchi would be considered as a renowned place of pilgrimage in the Kali Yuga... Dr. Theos Bernard, an internationally renowned American Yogi, had learnt Hatha Yoga and Tantra from Sri Sri Pagal Baba in 1936 at this very place of Ranchi, the center of sadhana... On the 29th of September, 1954 after 10am Mother (AnandaMayi Ma) visited the ashram of Tantric Yogiraj Pagal Baba along with a few devotees in two motor cars.

There was a basketful of fruits and sweetmeats to be distributed in the ashram. Pagala Baba was seated in the posture of a tiger inside the temple of Mukteshwar Shiva. Mother said, "Baba, this small girl of yours has come to see you after hearing from Gopi Baba and Nilmani that you are ill. They have built an ashram here where Durga Puja will be performed. When you recover from your illness, please pay a visit to that ashram." Pagal Baba replied, "No, Mother, I can not go anywhere any more. I am centered here near Mukteshwar for attaining Nitya Niranjan (Eternal Stainlessness)."
