I never met Guruji in His physical form, but He took me under His
sharan and blessed me. I used to have a recurring nightmare which would leave me anxious and terrified during the day. One night I was in the grip of that nightmare when I saw Guruji. He came and talked with me for a while, and the dream ended. I was confused when I woke up. But that was the last time I had that nightmare, or any nightmare for that matter. It has been years now, and I sleep peacefully.
I find that even seemingly irrelevant dream
darshans and telepathies have meaning. I live overseas while my parents and family are in India. One night I had a telepathy: I was sitting beside Guruji and He was talking to me. He said a number of things, but the only thing I remembered when I woke up was Him telling me that a lady devotee would be coming to visit me in a taxi. He even gave me the taxi number. It felt quite irrelevant in the light of day. I didn't remember the taxi number, but I wrote all that I could remember.
Fast forward a few years and events so conspired that relations between my family and me ended, through no fault of anyone. It was heartbreaking. Then I happened to stumble across that telepathic communication I had written down so many years ago. I had forgotten about it, but I suddenly realized what it meant. My mother had been keen on visiting me, and she had my address, but then I hadn't wanted to meet anyone. Now I took this as a cue that she would be arriving. Sure enough, she came in a taxi from the airport and was standing at my doorstep a couple of weeks later.
I was under great emotional stress when she arrived, angry at her for coming and also at myself for causing so much pain to her and my family. But I remembered Guruji's dream and I felt that all this was preordained, all His will. That eased my mind a little.
Later through His grace I had a dream where I was with my extended family in India. All the problems were a thing of the past. I am sure that day will also come and I look forward to it. Guruji Maharaj blesses us in ways which seem confusing and even painful, but sometimes when we look back we witness the profound changes He has made in our life and the lives of those around us. Jai Guruji!
A devotee
