Some Lesser Known Facts About Mirchi Baba
From 1995 to 1997, Rakesh Dubey worked as a labourer in different oil mills in his hometown in Madhya Pradesh.
As he disliked working as a labourer, Rakesh Dubey sold four bighas of his ancestral land in his village and bought a truck and began driving it. However, he suffered losses in it and sold the truck.
After a few years, he shifted from Madhya Pradesh to Gujarat and began living in Ahmedabad, where he worked in a private mill.
During this time, Rakesh Dubey met a saint and decided to pursue a religious life. He changed his name from Rakesh Dubey to Vairagyanand Giri.
As a saint, he began using chilli smoke to solve the problems of his devotees, who then started calling him Mirchi Baba.

After gaining popularity, he developed connections with many noted Congress leaders, including former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Digvijaya Singh , who later helped him get a bungalow in Minal Residency in Bhopal.
