Under the diabolic influence a sadhu or faqir begins to think that he has acquired supernatural powers. Sometimes, he becomes a tiger and people are made to believe that some Sadhus have commanded miraculous powers by God's blessings and they can become a tiger. In fact, nobody can change his body. Everybody remains in the same form all his life, as God has given him. But the intellect of the Sadhus and others has been so much corrupted that they readily believe in what is suggested to them. A number of apocryphal stories have been circulated through books. According to them Namdeoji Maharaj visited Dwarka where the Lord Dwarkanath gave him darshan (appeared in person) by turning the temple towards him and Sawaigir Baba left the horse and made the mosque move to meet the king. Another story has it that once Ramapir was playing the game of chausar tsar (dice) in Ranuja. Suddenly a ship of the banias started sinking. Ramapir extended his arm and rescued the ship. While he was holding the ship, some sea foam got stuck to the sleeve of his garment. His brother Biramdeoji who too was playing chausar noticed the sea foam sticking on Ramapir's sleeve and said, "You could extend your arm to reach the sea? You are a superhuman!"

Just think, the sea is hundreds of miles away from Ranuja. How was it possible for Ramapir, who is an ordinary hum a being just as you and 1, to extend his arm so far to reach that point. Of course, he was a great devotee and that is why he has earned name and fame. It is also said that Lord Krishna went to Raja Bal in the guise of a dwarf Brahman and demanded some land from him for the construction of a hut.

"'Give me a piece of land which measures two and a half steps of mine. I'll construct a small hut on it," said Krishna.

"You can take it," Raja Bar readily agreed.

"Then give your word," said Lord Krishna.

The king gave his word. He held a small ewer filled with water in his hand to sankalp (gift away) the land measuring two and a half steps. Just at that point of time, the guru of Raja Bal, Shukracharya became a black bee and entered the spout of the ever thereby blocking the flow of water. Lord Krishna pushed a pointed needle into the spout of the ewer. It Merced the eye of Shukracharya and thus he lost one eye. Hurt as he was, he jumped out of the spout making way for water to come out.

It was then that Raja Bal made a sankalp to give away land measuring), two and a half steps to Lord Krishna and asked him to take steps to measure the land. Lord Krishna then expanded his body so much that his head touched the sky and his feet reached the patal (the nether most world). He measured the entire world ust in two steps and then asked the king to give him half a step and more as promised. Raja Bal became extremely nervous because land was nowhere to be seen. Lord Krishna reminded the king of his promise and insisted on his demand of another half astep land. At this Raja Bal's mother suggested to him to offer his own body ( so that Krishna could put his raised foot down on it) I No sooner did the king follow the advice his mother than Lord Krishna pushed the King down with his foot. It made Earth split. The King (Bal) landed in the Patal. The king stated licking the feet of Krishna. At this, Krishna asked the king, "What is your wish? Let me know, I'll fulfil it." Raja Bal wanted Krishna to make a commitment and only then he would express his wish. Krishna gave him his word.

“I want you to stay with me all the twelve months in a year," said Raja Bal.

"If I do so, the people of the world will be put to a lot of hardship," Krishna told him.

"That means you are going back on your word," The king challenged Krishna.

"In that case I'll keep my word and stay with you" said Krishna. When Lord Krishna started staying with Raja Bal, it stopped raining altogether. The people of the world started undergoing a lot of hardship. Radhika (beloved of Krishna) went out in search of Krishna. Ultimately, she found him in Raja Bal's palace. Radhika tied rakhi ( a sacred thread) on the wrist of Raja Bal and thus adopted him as her brother. She then said to the king. "Rajaji! Give me your word in return."

You have it," declared that king.

"Now say, what do you want?" The king asked her.

"I want you to let Krishna accompany me to my home", said Radhika;

"But Krishna is bound by his word. He has to stay in this palacc as per his promise. How can I send him away?"

Radhika said, "You may be right. But just think Lord Krishna is God. Ever since he came to stay with you, he has stopped rainfall with the result that the people of the world are in great trouble. If you do not allow Krishna to leave your palace, the whole world will die without water. So either let him go or take the blame of going back on your word."

Raja Bal agreed with the stipulation that Krishna could stay with Radhika for four months in a year and during the rest of eight months he would stay in his palace. Thus Krishna took leave of Raja Bal and accompanied Radhika to stay with her for four months. That's why the rainy season remains for four months now. Earlier, in the Sat yuga it rained all the twelve months of a year. It is said that Lord Krishna has been keeping his word and accordingly he stays for eight months with Raja Bal and for remaining four months with Radhika. So now the rainy season. is limited to four months in a year.
