Light of Divinity

When I asked him after Guruji blessed us with children, the first one
when I was 37 and the second when I was 39, how his prediction
had gone wrong, he replied that astrology can only tell how your
destiny has been decided by God. But a mahapurush like Guruji,
who is God personified, he continued, has the power to rewrite
destiny. So, there is no doubt that the one who has the power to
rewrite our destinies is God himself.

Accidents averted on road and tarmac

In September 1999, I had gone to Shimla with my wife, driving
my car. I have never been a good driver thanks to my habit of
daydreaming. While we were returning from Shimla, we had a
stopover at Chandigarh. The next morning, we started later than

We ran into a traffic jam between Ambala and Karnal. Our car was

The idea of the car being torn apart by the approaching
earthmover (which brakes very slowly) and the noise of the crews
of both earthmovers shouting at me sent a chill down my spine. My
wife opened her eyes and looked at me and both of us could not do
anything but remember Guruji. Suddenly, I saw a gap in the divider
on our right and swerved the car through on to the non-operational
side of the road. Who else but Guruji could have saved us like that?

During February 2000, while I was on duty at the airport, passing
on from the night shift through to the morning shift, I went for

technician was working on the engine with its flap open and our
