The photographic

cure

MY FATHER-IN-LAW has retired and lives in Haridwar in
       Uttaranchal. He had diabetes, his sugar was never under
control, and he had heart problems though he had already undergone
surgery. One of his kidneys did not function at all.

  One day we got a call that he was in a critical state in a hospital.
My wife started crying. The next call robbed us of all hope. Father-
in-law’s condition had worsened. It was a Tuesday and we could not
go to Guruji’s. Our faith was shaken. In sheer desperation, I called
up a long-time devotee and he reassured me that Guruji was well
aware of the situation. His advice soothed our nerves and we slept
peacefully.

  On Friday, we went to Haridwar with Guruji’s photograph, which
we got, with Guruji’s grace, from Empire Estate on Thursday. We
reached the hospital and after taking stock of the situation, my wife
went to her father and gave Guruji’s photo to him. He touched it to
his forehead and kept it in his chest pocket. He had never even gone
to Guruji’s.

  Immediately, we felt Guruji’s presence in the form of his fragrance.
This was the moment we all acknowledged he is with us irrespective
of the physical distance between him and his devotees.

  We returned and a week passed by. Doctors were now suspecting
a paralytic attack. A CT scan was suggested, but miraculously the
scan came clean. Doctors were surprised and declared on Thursday
