Light of Divinity

head, there was a ‘total jam’, said doctors, and declared that nothing
could be done. Accordingly, they stopped giving Arun further
treatment. His relatives were told to prepare themselves.

  However, Raju did not give up faith. He took Guruji’s photo and
kept it on the head of the injured. But he did so without bringing
the fact to the knowledge of the relatives of the affected people, as
none of them knew about Guruji.

  I was in touch with Raju once almost every three hours. Whenever
he got the opportunity to be near the patients, Raju would keep
Guruji’s photo on them and offer his prayers to Guruji.

  The effects were immediate. When doctors examined the three
injured, they ruled that two of them were not critical anymore, but
needed to be kept in the ICU. They again examined Arun and were
surprised to note that not only had he beaten the seven-hour limit
set by the doctors, but was also showing signs of improvement.
When doctors were asked, they could give no answer.

  The second day the doctors were astonished. They examined
Arun only to find considerable improvement. Doctors now said that
contrary to their prognosis Arun had survived but added that he may
not lead a normal life. For two weeks after the accident, Raju kept
Guruji’s photo on the patients. And about a month later Arun began
remembering the past and expressed his desire to get out of bed.

  Blessed by Guruji, his condition improved significantly and three
months later he joined office. All the doctors treating Arun could
only be amazed. Unknown to them, Guruji had answered his
devotee’s prayers for those who had not even heard of him and saved
their lives.

Satsang’s healing effects

A similar manifestation of his grace had occurred nine months earlier
as well, when I had not even had Guruji’s darshan. One March
evening I was chatting with three of my guests, 52-year-old Mrs.
Vijaya, 50-year-old Mrs. Rajalakshmi, who is my uncle’s spouse, and
my sister-in-law.

  Vijaya was troubled by spondylitis while Rajalakshmi had been
enduring migraines for the last 15 years. During the course of the
conversation, Vijaya said she could not sleep on a bed nor could she
travel in a rickshaw, auto, car, or bus. She had lost all peace of mind
