that the idols would become life-like each time we
concentrated on them. The eyes would open and shut,
the skin on the face would twitch, and the chest would
seem to rise and fall as if the idol was breathing. For
many days my mother and I saw the same things in our
respective idols but we kept it to ourselves and dared
not tell each other. We would put it down to
imagination or something or the other but refused to
believe what we were seeing. Many days passed before
my mother finally asked me if I could see anything
strange in my idol. We were amazed to find out that we
were both seeing the same things. Finding it very
strange, we decided to ask Guruji about it in our next
trip.

“Guruji, the Shiva idols in our room seem to come
alive and breathe each time we pray to them, is it our
imagination?” asked mom. “These are blessings, don't
stop here. You must go beyond this. Go back and do
away with the idols. Leave them in some temple.” Said
Guruji.

On another occasion, one of Guruji's pictures in
our room started to suddenly glow at night. It caught
our attention and as we looked at it, we were given the
divine darshan of all the ten Sikh gurus. One by one
they kept coming on to the picture like a TV screen. My
mother and I again thought we may be imagining all
this so we called my grandfather into the room and just
casually asked him if he could see anything. To our
surprise, he saw the exact same thing.
