The  next  day,  someone  in  Guruji's  sangat  called;
          saying,  “We  were  sitting  with  Guruji  last  night  and
          Guruji  mentioned  that  your  entire  family  has  been
          given the divine darshan of all the 10 Sikh gurus, is it
          true?”  Before  we  could  say  anything  he  further  added
          “Guruji has given us instructions to come see the room
          where  you  were  given  the  darshan.”  This  confirmed
          what we had seen the night before.

               On my first visit to the Chattarpur temple at Bhatti
          Mines known as the 'Bada Mandir' by his sangat, I had
          clicked a photograph of the Shiva idol on the fountain.
          This photograph was one among the many I had put up
          in my room. One day my mother and I were generally

          the  photograph  of  lord  Shiva  seemed  to  smile.  His
          image  blurred  and  in  his  place  my  mother  and  I  saw
          the image of a lady. We presumed it to be Parvati ji, as
          she  was  in  a  saree  and  wore  ornaments.  We  were
          shocked at what we had just seen, and since we were
          seeing a lot of things that were strange, we decided to
          keep quiet about it till Guruji confirmed what we saw.
          Within a few days we managed to take a trip to Guruji.
          He was in his room when we entered the temple, and as
          we sat down, Guruji's caretaker came to us saying we
