Light of Divinity

  After I came to Guruji’s sangat, slowly my health problems and
stress disappeared. I felt increasingly better each time I attended the
sangat. I began feeling like a normal human being with the blessings
of Guruji. And the healing occurred without any medicines or a
prescribed course of penances. Just langar and faith—and I was
healthy. A few years ago my husband had to buy exorbitant Swiss
machines for his recording studio. The business was at a critical stage
and these machines were essential. But there were difficulties. There
were lengthy procedures for importing professional audio equipment.
Then someone from the overseas company came over to meet my
husband and after some simple negotiations facilitated the import.
We did not know that person at all: it was as if he was sent to help us.
The company’s representative was a lifesaver out of the blue. We owe
the sustenance of the business during tough times only to Guruji.

The sound of music

On one occasion, a very famous Punjabi singer was to come to sing
in the sangat. Guruji asked my husband to record the performance.
At the venue, the singer’s recording equipment was already in place
and my husband told Guruji of the fact. He smiled and told him to
sit with the sangat and enjoy the evening.

  After three hours of singing, Guruji asked the singer to play back the
songs. But no sound came out. After half an hour, her sound engineer
gave up and revealed that nothing had been recorded. Guruji smiled
and looked at my husband and said that he would do the recording
the next time she sang. With Guruji’s blessing that tape, recorded by
my husband, is now played nearly every day in the sangat.

His healing touch

Guruji’s methods of giving his blessings are varied, but it is vital that
his instructions be followed fully in letter and spirit. My sister-in-
law’s case illustrates this. She had been suffering from migraines since
the age of eight. During one of her visits to Guruji’s sangat, she had
a migraine attack. When langar was served, Guruji offered her two
chapattis. She forced herself to eat them. Guruji then gave her two
more. She ate one and managed to hide the fourth in her handbag;
she soon felt better. When she came to Guruji’s next, she reported
