from AIIMS. At Guruji’s behest, his old disciples were sharing
experiences. They ranged from children’s scholastic performance to
marriages, to series of miraculous cures for infertility, asthma, heart
diseases, nervous system disorders and incurable diseases such as
cancer. Normally, one would be rather skeptical. But these were
personal experiences of patients and their families. All of them had
records of their improved health. Once in a while, Guruji would
say, ‘‘Doctor, look at the practical aspects: how suffering is being
lessened.’’

From that day onwards, our journey with Guruji started. Every
day since then has been a day of discovery—a day of self-realization
and self-actualization. We have been going regularly to Chota
Mandir every Thursday and Sunday as and when we are in Delhi.
As a part of my work, I do have to travel a bit. But whenever we are
in Delhi, something magnetically draws us to Guruji’s place. There
is an inner urge and before we realize it we are on our way to have
Guruji’s darshan.

The doctor is healed

Towards the end of April 2006, I noticed something unusual about
the winter that was just over. I told Smita that I had not taken any
medicines, including my inhaler that I had to use at least twice a day.
I have a strong family history of asthma and at the beginning of every
winter, for the last 15 years, I was required to use inhalers. There
would be at least one or two instances of a chest infection. I would
have to take antibiotics for ten days. But in the winter of 2005, I did
not have any chest infection nor did I take any inhalers.

I shared this experience with Guruji, who said, ‘‘You have been
blessed. There is no need for any medicines for your asthma.” I had
not talked of my illness to Guruji nor did I pray to him silently to cure
it. I was surprised—to say the least. The only change that happened
to our routine were regular visits on Thursdays and Sundays to
Guruji’s at Empire Estate, where we received his blessings.

And his blessings continued to shower on us. Our daughter
Rijuta was studying in the US. She was completing her graduation
in cognitive neurosciences and cognitive psychology from Rice
University, Houston. Even though she had got admission to her PhD
