He ate papayas, daliya and boiled gram, two full spoons each and drank chhach. Maharaj ji liked the taste and offered his blessings to all of us,” Singh said.

Bhola, who accompanied Yogi in a chopper during his poll rallies, said he drank lots of water and ate one or two bananas at , if travelling. He likes satvik food and lives a strictly disciplined life. Yogi gets up early and begins his day with meditation and yoga.
