Light of Divinity

Light of Divinity he told us was to give the Ayurvedic medicine that could not be returned to Tanya. We realized that the medicine was meant for her in the first place. The medicine’s full course is for 40 days. Tanya completed her 40th day on Shivratri, and Guruji himself told us to stop the medication the next day. Divine calculation! Positive results started showing from the next day and by the time she went to her maternal grandmother’s place during her vacations, Tanya was cured. She sometimes develops small patches around her face. I believe Guruji is finishing karma left over from her previous birth; he had told me that my girl would have remained affected throughout her life.

Saving 90 lives to save one In 2002, my husband, then posted at Belgaum, rang me up one Saturday in August to say he was coming home. He boarded the Goa Express on Saturday and was to arrive on Monday morning. The same Saturday my daughters and I went to Guruji. That day everything was all the more pleasurable because Guruji made me sit near him for a long time and made me do a lot of satsang. During langar I also ate double or triple the amount of langar because of the red chilly chutney which was accidentally (that is what you think, otherwise nothing is accidental or incidental) served to me in quantities best reserved for dals (lentils) or vegetables. To finish the chutney, I had to eat a lot of chapattis and dal. While giving me permission to leave, Guruji said: “Aunty, aaj tera kalyan kar diya. (I have blessed you today).” I was elated. In the morning, I was woken by a call from my husband. He abruptly said: “Everything is fine, don’t worry.” He then told me that his train had derailed and put the phone down. I connected the previous evening’s happenings and the blessings that averted the mishap and was overwhelmed. I put on the TV and saw the breaking news: “Goa Express—7 bogies derailed, no casualties.” I immediately went to the Bade Mandir, as I was feeling restless. Singla Uncle’s daughter Aarti was the first one to meet me. Oblivious of my state of mind, she teased me about the amount of chutney I had to eat the previous night. I told her of the derailment and she was shocked. She called her mother and they both hugged me; tears were rolling down our cheeks. We spent the day doing satsang with others. : 297 :
