the Satguru. Guruji blessed a copper tumbler that Kanwar’s wife had
to drink water from to get rid of her prolonged depression.

The remedy, simple as it always seems, proved vastly effective.
Within 15 days, the bereaved mother had turned the corner. She
stopped crying, her low blood pressure normalized and she felt
okay.

It was May of 2000 and the family started coming to Guruji.
The family took a short break and went to Manali. When Kanwar
returned to Delhi, he found that he had been reassigned jobs. He
was going to be relieved from his custom duties at IGI Airport and
had to join duty at custom house in New Delhi on July 15. But when
he went to Guruji’s, the Satguru suggested another break. The date

On Guruji’s advice, Kanwar had taken his first step in the old Indian
marriage game—the hunt for a suitable boy. An Indian Oil engineer
seemed a likely candidate and, following Indian custom, came with
his parents to see the girl. Before the all-important visit, Guruji called
up Kanwar and specifically asked him to offer the young man’s father
white rasgullas (an Indian sweet).

The candidate’s parents were presented a lavish spread. Then, one
by one, first Kanwar himself, then his wife and then his son offered
the boy’s father the rasgullas. Each time—and for reasons best
