A baba named Baba Shivam Nath from Moga, Punjab, has come into the spotlight due to a viral video on social media. In the video, the baba is seen claiming to remove an elderly woman’s oxygen tube.
According to the video, the baba, in front of people sitting in his ashram, placed his hand on the woman’s head and blew on her, saying that she no longer needed the oxygen cylinder. The woman then removed the oxygen tube, but shortly afterward, her condition worsened, and she started gasping for breath. Seeing this, the baba said, “Today, Baba is not being shown the way.” Then, seeing the woman’s condition, the tube was reattached. The baba later said, “Perform service and remedies, either you will get well or you will pass away.”

In the video, the baba is seen talking to the woman, saying, “Will you be happy if this tube is removed?” The woman replied, “Yes.” Then the baba blew on her and said, “Now see the spectacle, come on Baba.” After the woman’s condition worsened a short while later, the baba clarified that “Baba was not shown the way.”
