in. We were made to sit in the temple and were offered
tea. Guruji walked in soon after and asked us to sit
next to him.

How do I describe Guruji? I guess I can say he was
bald and wore silk robes that seemed out of the world.
But the truth is, even an ordinary person like me could
see that there was something very different about him.
His face had a glow of a thousand bulbs. There was a
fragrance around him that smelt divine and his eyes -
His eyes seemed to pierce through a person's soul. He
had the aura of a king and yet was as humble, kind
and loving like a father. I was speechless. “Tera naam
ki hai?” - What is your name? he asked me.
“Sukhmani” I answered proudly, since I was very fond
of my name. “Bada changa naam hai.” - It's a very nice
name, he replied. He gave me a long look and told me
about the health issues I had been facing since a few
years. I couldn't believe that someone who had just met
me briefly could tell me about my illnesses. I remember
all the other saints I visited had to be told of the
problems I was going through, but this was the first
time I had met someone who already knew. He seemed
to read me like a book. Guruji was like a magnet I
could not pull away from. Even though I had a few
questions, I didn't however have any doubts that I had
finally come to the right place...I had come home. In the
few hours that we spent with him that day I felt so
much of love and affection from him and for him that
by the end of the day, I didn't want to go back home.
