Saved from the

three messengers

of death

MR Naresh Khandelwal’s wife, in her early thirties, fell ill. She
       was afflicted with dengue fever and her kidneys were infected.
Doctors at Gurgaon refused treatment as her platelet count was
below 9000. On top of it, on a Tuesday, a vein burst and unable
to contain the flow of blood, doctors advised a discharge. She was
shifted to Max Hospital in Noida.

  Naresh’s brother was a devotee of Guruji. He and his wife were
perturbed by the sequence of events and called up another devotee
to ask if they could visit Guruji on Tuesday and convey the problem.
They were told not to worry; that Guruji is God; that he would not
let anyone who had come to his sharan suffer.

  In the meantime, the doctors at Max Hospital had also given up on
her. Thursday came and Naresh went to Guruji. As he was touching
Guruji’s feet, he could not help himself and told Guruji that his wife
was suffering from dengue. Guruji’s response was in itself a promise.
“Dengue...dengue ki honda hai? Chal, ja kuch nahin hoya usnu. (What’s
dengue? Go, nothing will happen to her).”

  As soon as Naresh came back to the hospital, the wife’s platelet
count started going up with every test: from 12,000 to 30,000,
