Guruji gets my

life back on track

THE WORLD had come crashing down for me. Everything was
a blur. Life seemed bleak and unsteady. I didn’t know where it
would take me from here. I had lost my confidence, my interest in
and zest for life, and forgotten what it would take to start off again
on the same note, with the same fervour. Precious years of my life
were just slipping away.

I went through a terrible ordeal. A car accident of the severest
kind left me on a lonesome road. Being in a coma for two months,
surviving on a heavy dose of steroids, heaps of medications, endless
tests, innumerable incisions, glucose drips, and long physiotherapy
visits—life in a nutshell.

I was a victim of ruptured carotid arteries, blood loss, weakness
and paralysis. Getting the right treatment 14 years ago for such a
case was a task in itself. I did not see the face of my school for a year.
My friends broke down and cried in front of me, and I did not see a
mirror lest I be shocked.

While I was going through this, the entry of the Almighty in the
form of my Guruji turned the chapter of my life. I entered a world
of bliss and happiness. I was showered with love and warmth from
God himself. He was standing in front of me and his hands were
stretched out in front of me, engulfing me in his protective fold,
sheltering me from the world.
