Ranchod Bapuji was a very powerful and loving Siddha. He was small in stature and a great renunciant who ate very simply and frugally. Ranchod Bapuji visited the Ganeshpuri Ashram in the mid-1960s. He used to do a lot of work among the needy. Baba wrote
"Wherever there was famine, he would rush to assist the starving villagers by giving them water, and clothing."

In describing his behavior, Baba wrote "Sometimes he would disappear for days on end, and no one would know where he had gone. Suddenly he would reappear in the midst of people. Bapuji was omniscient." It was reported that during such instances, he would appear where there was a calamity and relieve people of their suffering, and then reappear again many miles away. In describing his greatness, Baba has said that such rare Siddas from time to time manifest in the World.
