see Shivji and further ahead, in a yellow dress, was Guruji. In
place of Guruji’s head, there was a shivalinga. He woke up his
wife, Anu, and the projection on the wall vanished. Till that
time, Rai had no idea of Shivji: he thought he must have been a
mythological figure.

Guruji’s play with his devotee had begun. And his grace had begun
to flow towards the Rai family. Anu was suffering from a slipped disc
in her lower back. She used to wear a heavy belt, and according to
doctors, the only way out was an operation. This was fairly risky
as even a slight surgical error could lead to paralysis. When Guruji
came to know of the problem, he took a spoon and ‘scanned’ Anu’s
back through it. The condition simply disappeared, and she has had
no problem since. Soon after, when the couple travelled to Hemkunt
Sahib, they had to climb 22 km on foot. And Anu was miles ahead
of the others.

Rai had a month or so left to get back to his ship. He decided to
get his youngest maternal aunt or mausi—who had had her heart
valve changed—to Jalandhar so that she could benefit from Guruji’s
presence. Guruji, meanwhile, would regularly ask him on what date
he was going to his ship and Rai’s unchanging reply was a month.
He would also make Rai listen to a shabad, one of whose lines said
that the new devotee was still at the first step, but had already begun
calling everybody to the path of faith. However, Rai went as planned
to Pune and came back with his mother’s sister. When they went
for darshan, they found access was not easy. Devotees would tell
them Guruji was in paath (meditation) or the gate would be closed.
Apparently, something was up.

Rai and his mausi were able to go inside one day. Guruji blessed
her, but asked her to go back to Pune. The message went unheeded.
Mausi went to him again and was told to go back. When the Rais
asked him if she might stay, Guruji kept silent. Clearly, he wanted
her to return to Pune.

Soon Rai was about to leave Jalandhar to get back on his ship
when his mausi complained of a heart problem and was admitted
to the military hospital in Jalandhar. By the time he had reached his
ship, her condition had worsened.

However, thanks to Guruji, her last days were pleasant and happy.
Her family members were able to meet her and she told them that it
was due to Guruji that they could see and talk to her. She breathed
