My quest for a

puran guru

EVER since I knew my own mind, I had an inner urge to have the
darshan of my guru. I could always feel the presence of a guru,
but could not see him. When faced with adversity, I remembered
him and right from childhood, a divine protective power manifested
itself and helped me.

How I met Guruji

My husband and I were at Chandimandir. It so happened that an
army officer’s daughter was unwell. I asked her to be sent home so
that I could examine her. I diagnosed viral hepatitis, gave her some
medicines and sent her home. Later in the day I met the daughter’s
father and asked her how she was. Imagine my surprise when he
said she was absolutely fine since Guruji had come to his home. I
complained that he had never mentioned his Guruji to me before
and asked him to call me whenever Guruji happened to come
next.

He did so. I rushed into the officer’s home to find Guruji sitting in
the couple’s room. He identified me instantaneously, saying: “Come,
Dr. Sahib, daughter of Dr. Bhagwan Dass and Leelawati.” He had told
me my parents’ names; I knew he was my guru. I was on top of
the world. The very next day, I was given diksha (initiation) at his
temple. There was no looking back; and his grace started flowing.
