At that time we were trying to dispose of our Gurgaon flat because
of our inability to manage the funds to pay the instalments. My father
was staying at the only other residential property in Ghaziabad, so
he could not be expected to fund the Gurgaon flat’s purchase.

Unexpectedly, within about 15 days of my promise to visit Guruji,
my father asked my elder brother to purchase the Ghaziabad house
from me. This allowed father to stay on in that house and I got the
requisite funds by September 2000 to settle outstanding dues against
the Gurgaon flat. Our shifting to Gurgaon was now cleared of all
obstacles.

On 16 September 2000, there was a sudden aggravation in
the skin condition of my daughter. And it lasted for about four
months. As a result, she missed her eleventh half-yearly exams.
Homoeopathic treatment continued as before. Her condition
gradually improved and by January 2001, her skin was nearly clear
except for some marks. On 26 January 2001, we shifted to our
Gurgaon flat. Somehow I was sure even at that time that Guruji
had a role in my shift to Gurgaon and the remarkable improvement
in Shubha’s skin condition. So I promptly decided to seek Guruji’s
blessings at Empire Estate.

I randomly selected the date of 17 February 2001. It turned out
to be Maha Shivratri and on advice from people at Empire Estate,
I landed at the Bade Mandir in the Bhatti Mines area. I had Guruji’s
darshan. I had the feeling that this was the guru I had been searching
for all my life.

Due to her sickness, Shubha had failed in her Class XI exams
and was asked to repeat the year despite being a brilliant student.
I decided to move her to another school to avoid her any
embarrassment. At the same time I prayed to Guruji to help us.
She was admitted to Class XI in Gurgaon with a switch from the
science to the commerce stream. Most unexpectedly, the principal
agreed to re-examine her and promised to promote her to Class XII
in case she scored above 80 per cent. She was given two months
(during the summer break) for preparing for the new subjects. We
prayed to Guruji, and Shubha prepared for the tests. With Guruji’s
blessings, she managed to score the required marks and was put in
Class XII.

The principal was under no obligation to do this, we did not know
her and she asked for no favours in return. This was Guruji’s way
