Fulfilling desires

In 1987, I was posted at Ropar. One day I saw a photograph of
the then prime minister Indira Gandhi in the newspaper. She was
wearing a rudraksh mala around her neck. I wondered if Guruji
could give one rudraksh to me as prasad.

After about two months, I went to meet Guruji at Jalandhar. He
was sitting with the sangat. He asked me if I wanted any thing from
him. I said no and that I was just happy with his blessings. He asked
me to extend my hand. I did so, and Guruji placed a rudraksh on
my palm. He asked me if this was what I had wanted from him.
Guruji gave me the kind of prasad I had thought of two months
earlier. I have had the rudraksh with me ever since. Guruji can fulfil
the desires of his devotees even if they don’t explicitly ask him for
anything.

Saving my son

My son was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident in 1999. He
was alone and was brought back home by guards posted outside
the Chandigarh house. I was at the time in Lucknow. He did not go
to the hospital. All he did was to keep Guruji’s photograph by his
bedside and have milk with turmeric powder and ghee.

In the morning after the accident, when he woke up, he realized
his injuries were serious: blood had oozed out of his ear; his neck
and head were swollen so much that he was unrecognizable. The
accident had taken place at around 11 pm and he was taken to the
hospital next day at around noon. The doctors were amazed he had
survived without any medical aid. He was immediately taken to the
emergency ward and was found to have suffered a haemorrhage and
a hairline fracture of the skull. Luckily, the blood from the internal
injury had oozed out through the ear.

The doctors were insisting on an operation, but he waited till we
came from Lucknow late the next day. On the way, we contacted
Guruji and told him about the accident. Guruji assured us of his
blessings. My son, in the meantime, was kept under observation.
