and go to him. After making many inquiries, I found that Guruji had
moved from Chandigarh to Jalandhar, from Jalandhar to Panchkula
and from Panchkula to Delhi. I got his address.

My neighbour Mr. Kiritbhai was also keen to meet Guruji and
along with him we reserved berths in the Rajdhani for 10 July, to
reach Delhi on 11 July. I rang up Guruji’s place in Delhi on 9 July
to say that I was coming to Delhi. Someone picked up the phone
and enquired if I was Col. Chatterjee speaking from Ahmedabad. He
also said that since today was Guru Purnima, Guruji was in paath,
but had predicted that Col. Chatterjee would ring up at 7 pm from
Ahmedabad. Through this person, Guruji indicated that he was
aware I was coming and wanted me to come at 6 pm on 11 July.
Kiritbhai was obviously puzzled.

We reached Delhi and I bought a thick book on history knowing
that I would not be able to sleep at night. Thinking that Guruji
was my own, I decided to go and meet him at 3 pm. We reached
Sultanpur at about 4 pm and a strange thing happened. We were
not able to locate Empire Estate. After some time I understood the
problem, Guruji had asked us to come at 6 pm while we were there
at 4 pm. I then told Kiritbhai that I had understood the problem,
and I would now use a strong remedy. I got down from the car and
prayed to Guruji saying, “Enough is enough, please call us now.”
Immediately, a boy came running and told us: “For a long time, your
car is neither going here nor there; where do you want to go?” He
then showed us the entrance gate to Empire Estate (just beside the
main road; it can hardly be missed).

As we reached E-Villa, Guruji embraced me and said: “After many
years, you have come to me. You have not slept for 21 days, tonight you
will sleep. Have langar here.”

We went back to the hotel after having langar and I started reading
the history tome. Soon I felt that someone was burning incense in
the next room. A wonderful fragrance wafted into our room and I
fell asleep immediately. Next day I again came to Guruji and while
massaging his feet, I told him: “Guruji, earlier there used to be a
fragrance all over near you, now it is mild.” He immediately replied:
“Why, did you not smell it at the hotel yesterday when I came to make you
sleep?” My insomnia had been cured.

During the same time, November of 1999, when I had come from
Ahmedabad to meet Guruji in Delhi, he told me, “You will come to
