I am an ardent believer in Shri Guru Granth Sahibji, but I have always been fascinated by Lord Shiva since childhood.
I met Guruji in November of 2006, but could not see Him for who He was. At His gatherings, I would merely wonder about who He was, why people bowed in front of Him and how handsome He looked.
These musings remained unanswered till after He dropped His physical body and I came upon His book,
Light of Divinity. I realized that we had been blessed to have
darshan of God. I also got a chance to visit Guruji's birth place, Dugri, along with my husband and in-laws.
In year 2010, I faced a crisis in my job as HR manager, which I had got after much hardship. Within a few months, I was asked to resign and a replacement was brought in and kept. I kept praying to Guruji to save my job, as my husband and I were facing financial problems. My prayers were heard. Soon, my replacement was asked to leave and I was retained. My boss told me that I could stay in this company as long as I would like to, and I am still continuing in the same job.
As a result, I could direct a few of my office colleagues to Guruji. A colleague's mother was suffering from a heart ailment. I went along with her, and got a copper tumbler blessed for her mom. She improved.
A few years passed and I realized I was unable to able to visit Bade Mandir as my family duties kept me busy. I decided to go to Bade Mandir and wanted to do
sewa. In January of 2017, Guruji blessed me in a dream and I got a chance to do sewa.
He also worked on my health. I could not eat heavy food due to poor digestion. Eating
samosas and even having tea was hard for me; I would puke if I took three heavy meals in a day. I had a constant cold and was troubled by constipation. Medicines hardly helped. I had gastric pain in my upper abdomen. The moment I kept Guruji's locket on my tummy, the pain subsided and I could sleep peacefully.
My mother was disturbed enough by my ill health to insist that I get a copper tumbler blessed by Guruji. In May 2019, I got the
lota blessed. On the second day of drinking the blessed water, my gastric pain vanished. And my cold went away. I am sure the few other problems will also be cured. For example, after having the blessed water, I am now able to drink tea.
Doing sewa too took away my suffering. I was suffering from a foot corn and it was difficult for me to drive. As I was doing sewa, I entered the
langar hall, my foot hit the ground and I got a sharp pain in my corn. Within a few days, the pain vanished and I realized that Guruji had cured my problem.
Guruji has always supported me and given me direction in time of need. My request to His dear devotees is to have unconditional love for Guruji. He will give us what is best in our interest. His love and grace is beyond our capacity. Keep your faith intact and have direct connection with Him.
According to scriptures, souls take births in 84 lakh species and then get a human form. We should be happy and feel blessed that, on top of this, we are in the refuge of Shri Guruji Maharaj--who is Guru Nanak and Lord Shiva.
