250 had to be selected. But, Akshay’s faith paid off. He was fifth in
the admission list and no extra money was taken for the admission.

Keeping Narindar out of death’s way

In January of 1998, three saints came to Narindar’s house. One of
them started making predictions and told Narindar’s mother that
her eldest child should have been dead. At this, the mother called
Narindar’s wife out. The saint told her that this extended life which
her husband was enjoying was due to the grace of the Mahapurush
they were devoted to.

The wandering astrologer then predicted that Narindar would die
by Jan 30. He promised to ward off this calamity if only the family
would give them some new clothes. Narindar’s wife was worried
and she sent her husband off to Guruji in Delhi so that he could be
under his divine protection as the date neared. Narindar was with
Guruji on Jan 30.

That very night, Narindar’s wife had a dream. She saw that Guruji
and Goddess Kali (the Black One, consort of the Purusha or male
principle, also known as Shiva) were together and Guruji was telling
the goddess to give her blessings to the couple. The Goddess had a
silver stick in her hands and it was suggested that the couple put out
their hands. Narindar did so and she hit his hands with the stick,
but his wife was afraid and refused. Guruji said that with the strike
of the stick, he had cut Narindar’s bad karma.

He told Narindar’s wife that what she was witnessing was not a
dream, but real. At this point, his wife woke up. She saw that Guruji’s
photo kept in the home shrine had changed colour. Whereas Guruji’s
attire used to be a deep red in the photo, it was now black—the
colour of Kali. After five minutes, the colour changed back to red.

Washing away the handprints of death

The gate to the family’s house in Ludhiana had the imprint of two
hands. Narindar’s wife suspected something was amiss and sent her
mother-in-law to the Naina Devi temple. While she was away, she
set about washing the house to clear the imprints from the cement
wall. She tried rubbing the prints off with her hands.
