Guruji's Early Years

Guruji was born into a humble family on the 7 th of
July 1953, in Dugri Village, district of Malerkotla. This
family had always been blessed by the birth of saints
and fakirs through generations; but according to Mataji
(Guruji's mother), she had no idea that a Mahapurush
of such a high level would be born to her. According to
the midwife, the day Guruji was born, she saw a snake
and a strange kind of a bright light fill up the room.
When the pandit (priest) prepared the birth chart, he
clearly told mataji that this child is not just hers but
belongs to the entire world.

Even as a little baby, there was a fragrance in his
urine and he never soiled his clothes. As a young boy
he was often found in the fields sitting in Samadhi
(meditation), completely unfazed by the burning sun or
strong rains. His classmates would often make fun of
him since he never seemed to enjoy the kind of things
they did.

His friends have many times narrated this incident
in front of Guruji as to how he would often fill ink in
pens that had run out. I have personally seen Guruji do
this one time in Jalandhar. Guruji had a diary in which
he wrote down the addresses of a few people who
visited him. That day I happened to be the one sitting
next to his aasan and each time he wanted to write
somebody's address he would ask me to pass the diary
