and told me that he will inform me about the date and venue of
the programme later. After some time, I broached the subject again
and he told me to visit a place near Chhattarpur mandir along with
Mr. Prem Singh, our former Ambassador to Singapore. I went to a
sprawling farmhouse, which belonged to Mr. Kler, yet another close
disciple of Guruji, at 11 pm. It was a befitting venue and Prem Singh
and I came back to Guruji and endorsed the farmhouse as being
tailor-made for the event.
Guruji told me in no uncertain terms to focus only upon
consolidating the strength of serving and retired defence brass and
the date was fixed for a Sunday morning, 26 December 2004. Many

the devotees had planned to celebrate the new year. All those disciples
who attended the function were given a new lease of life by Guruji.
Guruji has his own way of blessing and saving his followers from
untoward natural calamities. Guruji is himself the most impenetrable
armour for his disciples, safeguarding them against catastrophes.
He has the power and compassion to be the ultimate saviour, the
messiah of spiritual bliss and happiness that none other than a
benevolent God can himself be.
Three guru mantras: the epitome of faith
One satsang day, around two o’ clock at night, when I was just
about to leave for home after taking permission from Guruji in the
presence of a handful of his closest disciples, Guruji asked me what
I knew about God and religion. When I failed to measure up to
his discerning expectations, Guruji laughed heartily and then said:
