seen. My Dad and his regiment were held back for six months. What
do you call this? It’s a miracle through and through.

Amazing continued

One night we were driving back from Guruji’s to our house in our
new Indica, when the car stalled due to a gear failure. Since none of
us knew much about the car, Dad tried driving it till where it would
go, with the gear stuck in third, requiring the speed to be maintained
at least at around 40 kmph. Our destination was about 13 km from
where we were and we started off with only Guruji’s thought in our
mind. And sure enough we covered that 13-km stretch dotted with
innumerable red lights and diversions and reached home without
having to drop our speed below 40 kmph even once. Just before
reaching home, we came upon a herd of cows sitting on the road.
At this point, Dad thought we had reached the end of our luck, but
since we were travelling with Guruji’s blessings, the most amazing
thing happened. The cows just got up, quickly moved aside and
returned right after we drove past.

Reaching the land of the rising sun

The greatest day of my Mom’s life was when she had Guruji’s darshan.
For her, it remains the most unforgettable day. It so happened that after
the car accident, our well-wishers who used to go to Guruji would
keep telling us to come to him. But my mother was not a religiously
inclined person, so she never went. One fine day, one of her friends,
a devotee, was on her way to him in the early morning. This raised all
kinds of thoughts in my mother’s mind: “Doesn’t she have anything
better to do? How can she leave her house and walk out like this early
in the morning? How can she go and visit babas in this age?”

But, since the friend used to pester my mother to come with her,
my mother thought she might as well get it over with that day. My
mother went to Guruji knowing the two things her friend had told
her: 1) the need to have faith; and that 2) he knows everything. With
these two things in mind, Mom followed her friend to the land of
the rising sun.
