Light of Divinity

We had just entered the hall when Guruji spoke to my wife. He
identified her not only by her name but also by her nickname,
saying, “Anita... Lucknow wali, Bubbli aunty.” We were taken aback,
and Anita was filled with new belief and courage. She felt that all her
problems were over and that Guruji’s blessings and protection would
always be with her. Guruji asked Anita to bring a copper tumbler,
which he blessed. Anita would religiously drink water from it every
morning. Cancer is not an easy illness to deal with: the chemotherapy
and its side-effects—loss of hair, nausea, and a sinking feeling—take
their toll. But with Guruji’s blessings, during the six chemotherapy
sessions, Anita never lost her self-confidence. Her hair loss affected
her family more. She was strong in spirit through all the sessions
and never complained. This was all due to Guruji’s blessings. In
fact, the Satguru would often communicate his confidence to Anita.
He would, for example, urge Anita to have a peg of whiskey, telling
her she had been cured. During these darshans, Guruji would tell
us our son would have a love marriage. His words came true. Our
son proposed to the girl he liked; we took them to Guruji for his
blessings and they got engaged.

It’s been three years since Anita’s ovarian cancer was detected. She
shows no trace of the disease; she is back to her jovial self. Guruji

friends and even doctors couldn’t be happier seeing her enjoying the
new life Guruji has given her.

How timely was Guruji’s descent into our lives! Just seven months
after Anita’s cancer was diagnosed, there was more bad news for me.
I had three blocked arteries in the heart. Guruji treated the condition
in his own way. Though I had gone to him after my angiography,
he did not allow me to have an operation right away. Even before
I could utter a word, he asked me whether I had got the test done.
When I said yes, he asked me to go for a thallium test. To my
disappointment, the result was positive. Very upset, I turned again
to Guruji. He simply told me to get the operation done. I guess he
was gaining some time for me; perhaps earlier it wasn’t the right
time to have the surgery. Since I was a diabetic, the operation and
the recovery had added risk. Anita regularly went to have Guruji’s
darshan. He blessed me and my recovery was timely and problem-
free. When I could visit Guruji, He said: “I have given both a new life.”
And that is true. Anita enjoys perfect health, my son is married to the
