Healing: cold to uncommon maladies

An orderly had been assigned to me to replace the one who had gone
on leave. The new orderly was having a sex change problem. Our
subedar major was worried and I was worried. How would he now
stay in the jawan’s barracks? Guruji had come to our house around
this time and I requested him to cure this boy. Guruji asked: “Where
do you get these patients from?” I replied: “Guruji, he is destined by fate
to be cured and hence he has come to me.” Guruji placed a spoon at
his back and the jawan was cured.

  Once I was running a fever and was basking in the sun on the
roof. Guruji came to our house at about 3 in the afternoon and asked
about my condition. I had a running nose, a headache, fever, and a
foul taste in my mouth. He directed my wife to call a doctor. Col.
Chowdhury immediately came with a thermometer. He told Guruji
that my temperature was 103 degrees Fahrenheit. Guruji anxiously
asked the doctor how I could be cured. Col. Chowdhury replied that
with medicines a cure would be effected in 48 hours; otherwise it
may take three days.

  Guruji then asked my wife to get a spoon, some common salt, and
a little water. These were brought. Guruji then took a little salt and
water in the spoon, murmured something and asked me to raise my
head. He poured the concoction down my nose…

  …I felt as if everything inside was about to come out. I rushed to
the toilet and a lot of fluid came out through my nose. I washed my
face and came out within 30 seconds. Guruji then asked the doctor
to take my temperature again. It was 97.5 degrees Fahrenheit. He
asked me if I still had a running nose, headache or a foul taste in my
mouth. Quickly healed, I gratefully replied to all in the negative.

Touched with a rose

Once during the middle of January 1985, Guruji announced that on
25 January, on my wife Bably’s birthday, he would come to my house
in the evening. Lots of people came to our house that day. Some
ladies were giving their shawls to Guruji for making them fragrant!
Guruji was wearing the shawls just once and saying “The fragrance
will remain for a week or for 15 days or for a day” as the case may be
to different ladies. I had given him a military blanket and asked him
