Mataji  would  often  send  Guruji  to  get  wheat  or  maize
          ground from the village grinding mill. He would take the
          wheat and maize from home and after having it ground,
          he would distribute it among the poor and needy.

               One  day  Guruji  brought  a  truck  load  of  people
          home  at  night  and  much  to  the  annoyance  of  his
          mother,  asked  her  to  prepare  food  for  them  all.  After
          feeding  them  he  distributed  woven  mats  made  by  his
          mother among them and asked them to all rest until he
          finally let them go early morning. On being asked why
          he did such a thing he told his family that had he not
          stopped  them  and  brought  them  home,  they  would
          have had an accident and died.
               He  had  no  inhibitions  about  going  into  the  grave
          yard  at  night  and  would  often  be  found  meditating
          there  for  hours.  Much  to  the  dislike  of  his  family,  he
          often kept the company of sages. Guruji left his village

          and home in 1975 (as reported by his classmates) and
          after  college  he  briefly  worked  for  the  Punjab  school
          education  board,  in  its  field  office  at  Sangrur  as  a
          clerical assistant in 1983.
               Guruji told us that by the age of eight, he had full

          control over all his  desires. He devoted all his time to
          meditation.
               Guruji's father never believed nor liked Guruji's way
          of  life.  He  thought  his  son  was  nothing  but  a  fraud
          godman, until a day in Jalandhar temple, when in the
          early  hours  he  woke  up  to  a  strange  sound.  He  saw
