Light of Divinity

Once, we had all the empty drums after the day’s sangat and were
going back to Noida. Just then Guruji instructed all the curtains of
the temple to be taken off and given for dry cleaning (some 35-40
full-size curtains, each some 15-feet long). Since the drycleaner was
located in Noida, I was asked to try and accommodate some of the
curtains. With four of us and the drums, not much was expected
to fit in. However, to the amazement of everyone, all the curtains
adjusted themselves nicely in the car! What, except Guruji’s grace,
can explain something of this sort?

Sweet blessings for diabetic father

My father has been diabetic since the 1980s, needing to take insulin
injections twice a day. He came to Guruji and was given burfi (a
sweet) as prasad by Guruji. Usually, people come out of the sangat
hall, consume the prasad and then go back in and sit down. My
father also came out of the hall and asked us what he should do
with the five-six pieces of burfi he had been given. I asked him to
eat them all as Guruji’s instructions are that whatever prasad is given
is medicine if it is eaten immediately; it loses its effect if taken home
or elsewhere. I requested father to polish off the burfis. He argued
that the sweets would be poison for him. I told him that these are a
form of Guruji’s blessing and cannot have any negative impact. On
my insistence, he ate the burfis and went back in. Guruji called him
and gave him more burfi. Father was not willing to consume the
sweets this time, since he thought he was toying with danger now.
However, I insisted and he agreed, ate up the prasad and went back.
But, Guruji was not done yet. He called him for the third time and
again gave him burfi.

When he had eaten the prasad for the third time, father must have
consumed at least half a kilogram of burfi and was sure he would fall
seriously ill. He anticipated his blood sugar would rise sharply after
he had had sugar equivalent to possibly his cumulative intake for the
last 15 years in the past four hours.

We went back home and received a call from him at 5.30 am the
next day. He was amazed to discover that his sugar, which stood at
130 the previous morning, had dropped to 120 after all the burfi he
