Light of Divinity

Always, Meera felt his presence, as if Guruji was reassuring her
in her new home. Once she was sleeping when someone pressed
her shoulder blades strongly. She turned her head to look back—no
one was there. Another time, she was doing her puja, when she felt
someone touch her from behind on one and then the other shoulder.
She wanted to dismiss it as her imagination, when she saw the
curtain in her puja move slightly—as if a breeze had passed through.
She asked Guruji mentally whether it was him. Sure enough, during
the sangat he told her not to worry, it was him.

Snakes in the house

Meera was thrilled every time by Guruji’s visitations, but she was
terrified when she found snakes in her bathroom. It is a highly
improbable occurrence for the Kapoor home is located in a modern
apartment complex. All the three bathrooms are tiled, and no one
has ever reported sighting snakes in the area. Yet, day after day, as
soon as Meera would go for her bath in the tub, the snakes would
be there—very small ones, nearly four of them every day. She was
terrified. She would pray to Guruji before stepping into her bathtub,
but the snakes would still come. And she would stamp them out.
She wanted to get the bathtub removed and asked her husband to do
it. And there the matter hung. So, she mentioned the affair to Guruji,
who said she was a very lucky person. She replied that she was a
very frightened person. Guruji then asked her what she wanted. She
said she wanted to remove the bathtub and the snakes to disappear.

With Guruji’s permission, she ordered the removal of the bathtub.
Those who came to remove the tub were cautioned that there
were snakes inside the bathroom. They laughed it off. Meera kept
checking to see whether the snakes were appearing as the tub was
being removed. But the snakes had completely disappeared. The
phenomenon has not been satisfactorily explained to this day. How
come there were snakes in a modern housing complex? Why did
only Meera see them? What did their appearance suggest? Where
did they go? Only Lord Shiva knows.
