fact, he told Dr. Saini that at the time Guruji had made his remark,
his wife had been told by a gynaecologist that she could not have
another child. But she had—thanks to Guruji’s blessings!

Saved—and saved again

The Sainis were returning to Chandigarh after visiting Guruji in
New Delhi. The Delhi-Chandigarh highway was then a one-way
road. They had left the sangat quite late at night, and the family was
dozing off in the car. Dr. Saini too suddenly fell asleep at the wheel.
Their car veered off to the right, on to the path of a truck...

His wife’s hand brushed his shoulder and the doctor woke with
a jerk. He reflexively turned the car to the left and the truck passed
by, missing them by inches. When they were all asleep, who had
been awake? Which unblinking eye had seen the truck and who had
willed the sleeping wife’s hand to move and alert the doctor?

The answer was very clear in 2004.
Guruji had told Sajal, Dr. Saini’s dentist son who was posted at
Sohana, to take furlough from his medical duties. At that time, Sajal
used to travel to the bus-stop on his scooter and then take the bus to
Sohana.
It was August and the road was wet. Sajal was going home on
his scooter, when he swerved to avoid a reversing vehicle—only to
collide with another. He fell off the scooter. The Sainis, meanwhile,
were with Guruji and he suddenly asked them where their son was.
They told him he must be coming home from office. Just then the
Sainis’ phone rang and Sajal’s wife told them of the accident. They
immediately went home. But Sajal had been saved. He had been
carried from the accident spot to home by helpful onlookers—in
itself a rarity in Delhi. And he had nothing worse than a few stitches
on his nose. From the hospital, he directly went to Guruji in
thanksgiving for saving him.
Sajal now says that his birthday should henceforth be celebrated
on the day Guruji saved him. For he has been granted a new life.

medicine, Army Research & Referral Hospital, New Delhi
