During
the town hall meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi Modi, in the year 2015, Facebook
CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed that when his company was going through a “tough patch”,
then many people advised him he should sell the company to one of the interested
buyers. But Steve Jobs Apple co-founder advised him to visit a temple in India, where he
also experienced life-changing spiritual reflection when he visited in the 1970s. The temple was Neem Karoli Baba
Temple. Steve Jobs is said to have got the vision for creating Apple after
he visited the neem Karoli baba ashram in
Nainital. Steve Jobs with one of his friends from Reeds college, Daniel Kotke,
visited India in the year 1974. He went to India to meet Neem Karoli Baba; however,
he could not meet Baba who had died ib 1973 before his arrival.
Neem Karoli Baba Temple is situated in the state
of Uttarakhand in India at the Nainital district. (The neem Karoli baba ashram or Baba Neem Karoli considered a
reincarnation of Lord Hanuman).
Mark
Zuckerberg said, “Steve Jobs advised me that in order to reconnect with what I
believed as the mission of the company, I should visit this temple that he had
gone to in India, early on in his growth of thinking about what he wanted Apple
and his visualization of the future to be, the month-long trip reinforced for
me the significance of what we were doing”. The Facebook founder had arrived
here with just a book in his hand and he was thought to stay here for one day
but he spent two days.
Mark
Zuckerberg further added, “So I went and I traveled for almost a month, and
seeing people, seeing how people connected and having the chance to feel how
much better the world can be if everyone has a strong ability to unite
reinforced for me the significance of what we were doing and that is something
I've always remembered over the last 10 years as we've built Facebook”.
Some
years ago, Vinod Joshi, the secretary of the trust of neem Karoli baba ashram, got a call from Larry Brilliant former
director of Google’s philanthropic arm Google.org and an American physician. Larry
said “some Mark would be coming to the ashram for a day” recalls the
short, bubbly man with blinking eyes, who has spent his life in the service of
his holy guru Neeb Karori Baba at the ashram. Vinod Joshi doesn’t remember precisely
when because he had no idea who Mark Zuckerberg was. Facebook was so far to
become a daily habit of about a billion and a half people all around the world.
But he does remember that Mark Zuckerberg flew down to Pantnagar, about 65 km
from Nainital, and then drove to the ashram of Neem Karoli, who died in 1973
but continues to enchant numerous high profile Americans.
Julia
Roberts, a Hollywood actress is also said to be influenced by Neem Karoli Baba. At
present, a lot of foreigners visit the Ashram. Spiritual leaders Ram Dass, Ma
Jaya, musicians Jai Uttal and Krishna Das, scholar and writer Yvette Rosser, humanitarian
Larry Brilliant and Daniel Goleman are among his devotees.
