It is virtually impossible to describe Brahm Rishi Kumar Swami ji inwords and bind him within a limitation. No matter, what is said abouthim words are limiting. His ‘Maha kripayein’ or gifts of Divine Names andCosmic Grace, which he so generously bestows on his devotees are asdeep as an ocean whose shores reach worldwide touching & lightingthe hearts, minds of millions.

Gurudev’s cosmic divinity is way beyond comprehension of mankindat a worldly level. His celestial words and actions are beyond theordinary and extend in the realms of the incomprehensible divinemysteries perhaps never to be completely understood. The magnificentextraordinary divine cosmic Grace’s effects have been personallyexperienced by millions and witnessed by people from countries aroundthe globe and by people from diverse cultures, religions, faiths, colors,castes, creeds and countries. People of different levels of spiritualelevation, besides those in transition, through their spiritual journeysand different levels of progressions have benefited from beingempowered by the effects of Cosmic Grace.

The powerful mystical experiences and spiritual dimensions areunique to Kumar Swami Brahm rishi ji whom we reverently call Gurudev.Gurudev is totally devoid of any ego and his persona exudes humilityand divine Grace. His Holiness’s entire existence is dedicated andimmersed in service to mankind selflessly.

Gurudev’s contribution to humanity is exemplary. As a signaturebrand emanating from India. His mystical sound secrets called ‘CosmicGrace’ are possibly the most immeasurable treasure gifted to mankindto empower them with Health, Wealth and higher dimensionalknowledge and learning. The color of the spiritual ink of this signatureis such that the Indian.’Sanatan Maryada’ or intrinsic moral, spiritual anddharmic laws universally applicable have been acclaimed andrecognized worldwide as the mounting record of Miraculous recoveriesmade by people worldwide backed by irrefutable medical records ofcomplete reversal of incurable medical conditions continues to stackup, unabated.

Understanding the mysteries behind Gurudev’s generousdistribution of the ‘Beej Mantra’ or the divine Sound secrets of CosmicGrace is beyond the horizons of the capabilities of the human mind .Theintrinsic moral & spiritual laws which come into divine play when peopleexperience the power of the ‘Beej Mantras’ in their lives, is inexplicable.Their lives are changed forever. The power of the Mantras is sodevastatingly and profoundly life changing, that its effects are nothingshort of a miracle.

It is only after experiencing and being entrenched in the abundanceand color his Grace , Blessings and gifts that we begin to be imbibedwith a renewed courage and vision to attempt to see with greater claritythe value and extent of our own empowerment. His pleasant nature,simple personality, and unassumingly humble demeanor belies thetreasure trove of deeply mysterious and enormously important divinesecrets he holds within. This Universal Saint is on a mission to relievehumanity of its sufferings on this planet at a time its wonderful peopleneed help most, be it financially, mentally or from physical ailments towipe out their problems to make way for life’s higher purpose in orderto communicate with God without being distracted by worldlyobstacles in the path of their spiritual journey.

This book is the result of repeated requests by spiritual seekers ofhigher knowledge and those aware of my having spent several years inclose contact with Gurudev whilst traveling with him and attendingseveral ‘Dukh Nivaran Samagams’ or public audiences all over the worldand within different states of India. The version in your hands is acompilation of independent and various other experiences andnarratives from a personal, limited comprehension and view point.Words will not do justice to the larger than life factual reality of thisMystic saint of the 21st century.

It is merely an effort to present some glimpses from my personaljourney back into memory lane and time, captured forever in mysubconscious and conscious mind as sacrosanct, priceless andirreversible asset which has enriched my life forever until God wills.

I share this humble offering with all those searching for the light andlove that God is.

In translating this book I would heartfelt thank Dr. Jaslien Singh andVijayalaxmi Radkar (Vijoo), and Mr. Sanjay Bharti for the beautiful artwork and hope and pray they are blessed by God forever and receivefrom Sadguru the Blessings and gifts for their sincere contribution.

Beyond Words

P R E F A C E


Divine inspiration and a spiritual insight ledus to conceptualize and initiate a project to create a TV show based on ‘Spiritualism andAyurveda’, which would be unique and extra-ordinary. After exhaustive discussions with a senior executive of an internationally renownedTV Channel, we began our search for a contemporary, spiritually elevated mystic,revered internationally - who could nourish, inspire and influence mankind spiritually. Wewere searching for a divine being who could alterhuman destinies and give people freedom fromtheir sufferings cure them from innumerable diseases, both mental and physical.

After fine tuning our concept, I presented theproposal to Gurudev, who unassumingly queriedas to what the proposed show would be basedon, besides wanting to know the content andguidelines along which the show would unfold.I narrated him the concept, the procedures, andcontent planned for filming. “We will discuss various common and serious diseases in detail,whilst you will respond by throwing light aboutthe corresponding cures for the same inAyurveda.”

Gurudev expressed desire to reflectintrospectively on the proposal. And days flew


8

by, as I waited in vain, for Gurudev to revert backto me.

Then, one fine day, Gurudev called me andsaid, “You wanted to discuss about the proposal.Let’s go to Vrindavan. We will sit there and discuss the proposal in detail”.

Gurudev instructed me to reach Vrindavan.After reaching Vrindavan I tried to contact Gurudev without success. I found his cell phoneswitched off.

I waited patiently, despite the uncertainty.Around 3 o’clock in the afternoon, I received acall from Gurudev. He asked me to see him at theIskcon Temple. I hurried to make my way to theIskcon Temple and finally met Gurudev.

Together, we proceeded to Yamuna Ghat. Atthe Yamuna Ghat Gurudev asked a boatman to take us both for a ride in his boat till such time as Gurudev would ask him to stop. Theboatman was promised he would be paid andcompensated accordingly for his time, by Gurudev.

For almost three hours, we were sitting in aboat and enjoying the ride in River Yamuna. ButGurudev didn’t talk about the proposal. Afterstepping down from the boat, Gurudev said, “Iwant to stay in Vrindavan for some work, you can

DivineExperience


go back to Delhi. We will discuss the proposal indetail, in Delhi”.

Next day, in Delhi, Gurudev asked me tocome to his residence. He asked me, what thetitle of the show would be. “Have you given it athought yet?” I then responded by proposing,“Ayurveda and Us”, “ Ayurveda & Mankind” or “Secrets of Ayurveda”. But Gurudev rejected allthe titles proposed by me and chose “Secrets ofAyurvigyan”.

After reflecting introspectively, Gurudev said,“To make the show more unique and interesting,I will look at the photograph of the applicant andgive a complete diagnosis of the disease from which he is suffering and prescribe thetreatment.”

I was stunned. My practical, intellectual mindquestioned as to how that could be possible? Itwould be a scandal to telecast the wrongexamination and diagnosis of the patient on aninternationally telecast TV channel. To me, it wasa frightening prospect. My mind mentally racedahead surmising the enormity of the risk and potentially devastating consequences for the TVChannel.

Reading my thoughts Gurudev calmlyassured me by saying “You plan the concept the


10

way I am asking you to. If you are still not convinced, then we will accede to your channel’swishes.”

Finally, the guidelines, concept and contentwere developed according to his suggestions.With the aim of making the show authentic fromevery aspect, a well known astrologer was alsoengaged. It was decided that Gurudev willglance at a photograph and throw light on theailments the applicant was suffering from andafter the detailed diagnosis by Gurudev, the astrologer would verify it on the basis of an astrological chart of the applicant. Gurudevwould then discuss the solution, through whichthe applicant could be cured of those ailments.

In the initial episodes of the show, Iforwarded the photographs of my familymembers, friends and relatives. To myamazement Gurudev revealed the preciseintimate details of my family members. Herevealed facts which I had never ever discussedwith him before. “Secrets of Ayurvigyan” startedbeing televised regularly. Along with it began myjourney of divine spiritual experiences, withGurudev. It was a life transforming spiritualjourney full of divine and mystical revelationsand a positive spiritual evolution from there on.


11


As the filming of the ‘Secrets of Ayurvigyan’progressed, my experiences and understandingof Gurudev‘s divine presence and mystic powersstarted to escalate to unimaginable heights.

Whilst shooting the 7th episode, I presentedGurudev photograph of a young man, receivedfrom Kota (Rajasthan). Nonplussed, Gurudev simply replied, “What do you want to knowabout a dead man? He died two years back.”

I was amazed and dumbstruck. The revelationshook me to the core of my being. I then tried toverify and authenticate the material facts of thatrevelation by enquiring about the young manfrom the sender of the photograph.

The results of my enquiry astounded me. Theyoung man had indeed passed away two yearsago. My naive mind still wondered how Gurudevever came to know!

I concluded it was perhaps a glimpse intoextra-sensory perception, experienced throughGurudev, beyond the realms of the logical mind.This was only the beginning.


12

Sometime later, during the filming of the initial episodes of the show, I placed thephotograph of one Rishi Kumar Verma, in frontof Gurudev. After looking at the photograph,Gurudev said, “This photograph was taken 15years back. At that time he was absolutelyhealthy & had no ailments. But I can say that now,he is suffering from heart disease."

Surprisingly, Rishi Kumar Verma was sufferingfrom serious heart disease and was already admitted into a private nursing home at thattime.

TimelessWisdom


As the filming of the show ‘Secrets of Ayurvigyan’ advanced, my mystical experiencesunexpectedly began to escalate and took me to realms beyond my logical comprehension andexisting barometers of perception or beliefs. We would shoot well past midnight and continue till dawn broke.

On one fine morning after pack up was announced and the day’s session of filmingended, Gurudev surprised me by coming up tome suddenly, and said,

“Leave the premises along with your teamimmediately. Swami ji, has arrived. He is sitting inthe next room. He will leave this place if youdon’t move at once."

We complied with reverent deference to hisrequest and left hurriedly in a dazed, confusedstate. At best I was confused with this abrupt turnof events and at the worst my mind raced ahead with a torrent of questions within me. Theconflict rising within my mind and heart was intrigued at the abruptness of this new inexpli-cable development. Bewildered and amazed, thequeries within me remained unanswered -- Whois this Swami ji? When did he arrive? How did Gurudev learn of his arrival?

A few days later, the whole episode of the


14

unpredicted arrival of Swami ji happened again.This time, I was determined to ask Gurudevabout this divine, but mysterious Swami ji andclarify my inner most doubts about his very existence. Gurudev’s reply confounded me.

“Swami ji can come any time,” Gurudev calmlyexplained, “and since he is a divine soul thereforehe remains invisible, and a naive, unevolvedhuman mind cannot sense his arrival and presence. But I can see the vision of Swami ji. It isan intrinsic part of his mystic being and naturethat he wants to be reclusive and doesn’t likeanyone around him. He goes away if I don’t payattention or inadvertently don’t acknowledge hispresence. God willing, and with His blessings, Iwill try to make you meet Swami ji very soon”.

Several days flew by as we progressed fur-ther, blissfully engrossed

in our TV project. Swami ji continued his mysterious visits. I became introspective and reserved and kept my own counsel, and did not voice my personal doubts or try to expressmy uncertainties on what seemed to be unfath-omable, with Gurudev, anymore.

One day I went to Gurudev’s residence forsome work. The intercom rang at the reception.

MysticVision


Gurudev was on the line. Speaking softly, in alow-keyed voice, Gurudev said “Come to myroom silently without making any noise. Swami jiis here! He has asked me to call you here. Comeover and greet Swami ji”.

As I entered Gurudev’s room, I saw a divinesoul sitting in a very simple attire on a mat. Hewas reading a book. Gurudev was also sitting beside him peacefully.

I touched Swami ji's and then Gurudev’s feet.Swami ji kept on reading the book before him,silently. Gurudev indicated by a gesture that I sitdown. We all sat for a while in total silence. Gurudev then indicated that I leave the room. Iobeyed, touched the lovely feet of Swami ji andGurudev and then left the room. Swami ji didn’tlook up at me at all. He was still absorbed in reading the book.

Whilst the filming of the show progressedsmoothly, during one of the shooting schedulesin a private studio, a strange incident happenedwhich intrigued me. As soon as the recordingstarted, the cameraman stopped the cameraabruptly and suddenly declared that, “Recordingcannot take place now, as Gurudev’s eyes arecompletely red presently.” I was stunned as Ilooked at Gurudev’s eyes and did not observeanything abnormal. They were not red.

After some time, the interruption of theshooting schedule was resumed. Again, the cameraman ordered the shoot to be stopped ashe noticed Gurudev’s abnormally red eyes onceagain. I personally saw the recording and wastaken aback to note, that the cameraman wastelling the truth.

I asked Gurudev, about the mystery behindthe repeated appearance of those red eyes, andhe replied, “Call up the owner of this studio. ThenI will unravel this mystery.”

The owner of the studio was requested tocome over to visit Gurudev. Once there, Gurudevspoke to him in person and in a heavy voicewhich was profoundly earnest in the extremeand deeply concerned, as he revealed insight-fully, whilst stating “You have spent lakhs of


17

5

The Mysteryof the RedEyes


Rupees on this studio, but still you are running inheavy losses.”

Gurudev said, “Many evil practices are goingon at this place. That is the reason that this studiois running into heavy loss. I’m going to performspecial recital of Cosmic Sound Secrets here tomake this place free from all negative energies.But you must always light an earthen lamp hereat this corner. Everything shall be fine soon.” Heindicated with a gesture where the lamp was tobe placed.

Later, Gurudev performed the special recitalof Cosmic Sound Secrets and the shooting resumed again. Now Gurudev’s eyes appearednormal & shooting went on smoothly.

After few days, Gurudev told us that, “The reason for my eyes being red was that the placewas full of negative energies and after the recitalof secret Cosmic Sounds it was substituted bypositive. As expected of a saint of his stature, heomitted to state that he did everything unasked,as he knew what needed to be done to restorethe cosmic balance and positivity.


18

Our shooting schedule was due to be continued in the beautiful hill station of Mussourie, nestled cozily against a backdrop ofthe majestic Himalayan ranges. Without any signof an impending change in the weather, suddenly it started to rain heavily. Our crew panicked as we were filming at some distancefrom the main road and our mutual concern wasto protect our bulky, immovable and very expensive cameras, lighting and other filmingequipment from the devastating downpour.

Whilst chaos reigned, I noticed, Gurudev was calmness personified, as he sat in silence.Watching our consternation, he asked “Shall Istop the rain for you? Shall I clear the weather?”.

Our scientific, practical minds were shockedinto silence. According to natural laws the visibleheavy dark clouds were an irrefutable proof ofimpending heavy rain.

Gurudev said, “Let me pray to God. It is thenup to God to grant an answer to my prayers orignore the request.” Gurudev then lit the holy incense sticks, closed his eyes and started praying in silence. Gradually, we began to observe some changes, bordering on a miracle,when the sky began to clear up. The down pourstarted to turn full swing into a drizzle and then


19

DivineIntervention


ceased altogether. Soon enough, we witnessedthe glorious sun shining brightly in the sky.

Gurudev opened his eyes and smiled gentlysaying, “God has accepted and answered myprayers. Now you can shoot for as much time oras many episodes as you want to complete”. We resumed our shooting schedule and endedwork late that evening. Another day flew by infilming more episodes with Gurudev’s Blessingsand we experienced absolutely no hindrances orobstacles.

We experienced such miraculous situationsin different settings several times. On the 3rd and4th May 2003, the 7th Prabhu Kripa Conventionwas scheduled to be held in Chandigarh. Butwhen I reached the venue, I was shocked to seethe prevalent state of affairs.

The place was in a state of disarray. Every-thing was smashed. The whole venue for theConvention was destroyed. Around midnight,when I tried to call up Gurudev as he was in the“Pooja Room”.

I managed to communicate with him after afew hours. He simply stated that “Don’t worry,God will take care of us. You try to re-arrangethings once again. As per Gurudev’s instructions


20

every effort was renewed enthusiastically as weco-ordinated afresh and redecorated the wholesite.

Our fears were re-ignited when the next day’s newspaper headlines predicted a weatherforecast of immense bad weather to continue forthe next fifteen days to come. Heavy windslashed mercilessly and an unending army ofheavy, black clouds gathered for the imminentonslaught.

I contacted Gurudev, worrying about theforecast and the visible evidence of the darkclouds. Heavy winds were blowing, threateningmenacingly to cause much disruption. “Havefaith in God,” he said “He will make everything alright”.

As Gurudev entered the border of Chandi-garh, his Holy words reassuring us to keep faithcame to fruition. Slowly but surely, the weatherturned full swing.

A miracle happened. The sky cleared up and the whole convention proceeded and progressed smoothly without a single obstacleor hindrance.


21


The process of Prabhu Kripa conventionsstarted in December 2002. Gurudev’s TV show“Secrets of Ayurvigyan” had completed its 200days. In that show Gurudev used to diagnosepeople’s diseases or problems just by looking atthe photos sent by them, and then he used tooffer solutions in the forms of divine medicinesand Cosmic Sound Secrets.

At that time so many letters used to arrivethat let aside reading them, it was impossible toopen them all to have a look at them.

When I presented this problem to Gurudev,he said that from then on we would organizelarge scale camps to solve people’s problems enmasse.

The first camp was announced to be organ-ized on the 21st-22nd December in Hindu Mahasabha Bhavan near Birla Mandir in NewDelhi. Just after that announcement somethinghappened around Gurudev, which can only becalled a miracle.

One day Gurudev and I visited a wise gentleman. We had a long discussion about thevision behind the camps and the future activities.During the discussion the gentleman said, “Gu-rudev, you have infinite treasure of mantras thatyou are planning to shower over people in these


22

camps, so you should be charging them a goodamount in return.”

Gurudev kept listening to him silently. Thensuddenly he said that he had to go to Mahraulifor some work and asked us to discuss whateverneeded to be discussed to plan the camp.

Then addressing me he said, “He has verygood ideas, you decide with him things shouldbe done,” and left.

As Gurudev left and we started talking, butthe gentleman seemed to be very uncomfort-able and told me that suddenly his whole bodyhad started itching. It was so sudden that he wasunable to understand what could be the reasonfor it! Gradually his discomfort came to such astate that first he took off his kurta, and then theundergarment. He had to scratch his body sobadly that his whole back had gone red and hadpatches all over.

He couldn’t continue to talk anymore andsuggested that we discuss things some othertime as he wanted to lie down. After taking myleave from that person I came back home.Around 12 in the midnight I received a call fromGurudev. He was asking me whether we had dis-cussed about everything.

I answered in affirmative. At which Gurudev


23

A Test of Purity


asked me if I had noted everything down as thepoints that were being discussed were very important. I again answered in affirmative.

After a pause, Gurudev asked me whetherthat man was alright. He inquired about hishealth. At that, I started laughing and said to Gurudev that it was impossible to hide anythingfrom him. I told him about how that man’s condition had worsened and he could not talkanymore.

Then Gurudev said in a serious voice, “yes, ifone won’t be pure in his thought about the spiritual activities, his body will itch. Religion isnot about earning money. If someone thinks inthose terms, God will take care of him.”

Even now, often he says, “You want purity, oritching?”


24

A glimpse into Gurudev’s life reveals divineand mysterious experiences.

An example of this is the way Gurudev drinkshis tea.

He once told me, “I drink tea in an extremelysensitive, connected state of meditation, when Iam both receptive, and intuitively responsive.”

Gurudev told me that, after taking tea in thisparticular, extraordinary way, the positive cosmicenergies start circulating within his body thathelp him to open up the divine secrets of theSupreme Power or Cosmic Energy, to mankind.

The WayHe DrinksHis Tea


Our stay in Mussourie was full of intimate divine experiences. One such vivid recollection Ihave is that of what happened on the occasionof Gurudev’s recording session on CamelbackRoad. A large number of devotees attended therecording session.

A lady present amongst the crowd, carefullyobserved the progress and proceedings of the day’s schedule. In the evening, after theshooting ended, the lady came to Gurudev andinsisted she had something very important todiscuss with him.

“I want to talk to you in private”. Gurudev toldher to say whatever she had to, there and then.”But I want to speak to you only in private,” shepleaded, "It is something very important." Gurudev appraised her and whilst scrutinizingher said, “Shall I tell you what you want to ask?”The lady was taken aback for a moment andlooked at Gurudev, very surprised.

Gurudev continued saying, “You want toknow the whereabouts of your husband who leftyou two months back."

The lady stared in stunned amazement, incredulously. She stood frozen in time as if in astate of shock. She then whispered in a low voice,“Yes Gurudev, This is what I wanted to ask you.”


26

Gurudev then continued further, in a serioustone. “He will never come back. You behavedvery badly with him”. Gurudev then paused andasked her if she wanted to ask anything else.

The lady replied, “No nothing else”, and leftdazed, quietly and unnoticed.

TheMysteries

of MindReading


In the autumn of 2002 our crew travelled to Uttaranchal for the shooting of our show, during which we experienced some mysticalencounters. One particular incident revealed

Gurudev’s elevated spiritual status and the divineaspect of his persona.

The Shoot was scheduled at a private farmhouse in the beautiful valley of Dehradun. Manyfamous personalities were present that day to attend the shoot. A senior Congress leader and afamous builder were just two of those that I canrecall. Highly impressed by Gurudev’s intellect,and divine spiritual knowledge, the builder, invited Gurudev for dinner at his place. Intuitivelysensing their heartfelt sincerity, love and affec-tion for him, Gurudev responded spontaneouslyby accepting their invitation.

The builder reached at the fixed time to OshoResort where Gurudev was staying. Coincidently,Gurudev’s driver was out to run some errands.After waiting for the driver for some time in vain,Gurudev decided to go to the builder’s residence,in their car. The builder had made lavish arrangements at his residence to welcome Gurudev. The afternoon was being spent withdiscussion rounds regarding several spiritual topics. Spontaneous conversation flowed to and


28

fro. An array of delicacies was being served. But Inoticed, that Gurudev was completely silent. Heneither ate nor spoke. He simply sat there quietly,isolated, in his own thoughts.

Observing his extraordinarily serene andquiet behavior, the builder and his family’s apprehension grew till they became increasinglytense. They prayed to him to break his mysteri-ous silence.

Gurudev spoke at last, saying, “Please let mego. It will be in your own best interests.” The family grew even more tense as they were curious and badly wanted to know the reasonbehind what Gurudev had just said.

Gurudev replied slowly, in a very serious tone,and said, “I will tell you everything, but you willnot be able to tolerate it.” The builder’s family stillinsisted, wanting to know, the real significanceand interpretation of his mysterious words.

“The truth is,” Gurudev continued, “that youare in a big trouble. You are in heavy debts. Yourbusiness is in a bad state and is incurring hugelosses. The whole family is suffering from someailment or the other. You are a well knownbuilder but none of your projects is anywherenear completion. Somewhere or the other obstacles are continually blocking your progress.

AnEvening

in Dehradun


You could have got yourself in much more trouble, but the idol of Lord Hanuman, placed onthe third floor of your house, on which you regularly apply vermillion is protecting you, elseyou would have ceased to exist in business andruined completely by now.”

Gurudev further clarified and explained tothem, saying, “You have invited me with so much love, care and affection, now it's my responsibility to make you free from all of yourproblems and difficulties. For that I need to perform a special recital of Cosmic Sound Secretsfor you. So I request you to kindly let me goback." After listening very carefully to everything,the family was in a state of stunned shock. Gurudev said, “its in your own best interests torelieve me as early as possible.” Before leaving,Gurudev also added a request, saying, “Don’tpack or send any food or snacks for me.”

Gurudev left the premises amidst the traditional ceremonial fanfare and heartfelt salutations and respects paid by those attending,but I stayed on at the builder’s residence as perGurudev’s instructions. Much later, as I rose toleave, the builder’s family forced me to take somepacked food items without heeding Gurudev’searlier request. Later that night, I went to Gu-


30

rudev’s room with the packed food in my hands.I opened the door slightly, as the room was dimlylit. Gurudev was in his meditation. He orderedme to dispose off the packed food as quickly aspossible. “Whatever is in your hands, throw it outside and go back to your room, I will meetyou in morning,” he told me.

At 9 o’clock in the morning, taking Gurudev'spermission through intercom I went to his roomto meet him. He was having a cup of tea at thetime. After keeping silent for a while, he askedme to apply some salt on my body, before takingmy bath. “You must apply a bit of salt water onyour body.” I foolishly forgot to follow Gurudev’sinstructions, before taking my bath.

Later that day, when I met Gurudev, he was smiling as he queried if I had rememberedhis instructions. “Did you apply salt water on yourbody before taking your bath?”

I said, “I’m sorry, I forgot”.Gurudev responded saying, “Don’t worry, it’s

fine”.I asked, “Shall I do it now?" Gurudev replied,

“No, it’s not required now. I have already remedied your mistake.”


31


One morning, Gurudev and I, visited a busymarket place in Vrindavan. Gurudev entered intoa bookshop to buy some religious books. Afterhe had purchased some thirty books, we left.

Gurudev placed the books in his room at Radhey Ashram, where we were staying, whilstin Vrindavan. Later that day, he started turningthe pages of each book. I noticed he set asidecertain books. These were books whose pages hehad briefly, at best, only glanced at. Gurudevmentioned to me that these were books he hadfinished reading. Observing my amazed state ofconfusion he then said, “I have read all thesebooks. I shall read rest of the books later in theday”.

I was skeptical about what I had observedand my mind and heart were in a conflict. Mylogical mind and common sense would not allowme to believe what I had just heard from him. Itwas humanly impossible. I kept my thoughts private, out of respect for Gurudev whom I hadgrown to trust completely. By now I was gettingused to experiencing the mystical, divine aspectsof being with him, despite not always compre-hending everything I learnt.

Reading my inner most thoughts Gurudevreplied, of his own accord. “I recited one special


32

mantra, after which, there is no need to read anybook. You just once need to glance at the pagesof the book & then the whole book will be in yourmind and memory. You can ask me what is written on any page of the book. I can reply youvery easily”.

Once again, Gurudev satisfied my inner reser-vations without any questions from me. I nowunderstood the Secret of the Mysterious Mantraand its mystical, divine powers.

Mystery of Cosmic

Reading


The first Prabhu Kripa Convention was justaround the corner. Phones rang incessantly atthe Arihanta office, with thousands of peopleconfirming that they would like to participate. It was expected, that the sheer number of devotees attending would go beyond a fewthousand.

Keeping in mind the overwhelming response,I requested Gurudev to appoint the staff of hisayurvedic company for the convention. But hesaid, “No. I will not provide Arihanta staff for theconvention.” “But Gurudev," I implored, “how willwe be able to manage this huge convention?”Gurudev replied, “Have faith in God, He will takecare of everything.”

Next day, just as Gurudev had predicted andseen ahead of time, we started to experienceGod’s blessings. The receptionist at Arihantacalled up and said, “Several people have calledup to volunteer their services at the camp."

I requested everyone to come at 2:00 PM onDecember 19th to Hindu Mahasabha Bhavan.

On the appointed day and time, some forty-nine volunteers showed up at the designatedplace, to offer their services. With this new development of receiving such an overwhelm-ing response, all our arrangements started fallinginto place.

Divine Blessings showered at the camp andthe real color and fabric of these blessings beganto emerge with several cases of miracle healingsthat confounded those receiving the blessings,as well as others in the audience and the volunteers, including us all. On the very first dayof the camp, just after the meeting of the volunteers, one of the volunteers, Anil Katariafrom Faridabad came to me and said that his wifewas seriously ill. Doctors had diagnosed that inher case, both her kidneys had failed. He furthersaid “She is admitted in hospital, but I want togive my services to the camp also. On my behalf,can you please appraise Gurudev about my wife’shealth and precarious condition and please convey to him how badly I want to come to thecamp as a volunteer to contribute my services aswell." I promised him sincerely that I would convey the message.

The next morning, I had several detailed conversations with Gurudev but forgot to putforward Anil Kataria’s request or even convey hismessage, regarding his wife’s condition.

As it would unfold later, Gurudev had alreadygiven his blessings to Sudha Kataria, wife of AnilKataria.

Next day, after the camp ended, Anil Katariacame to me and said, “You must have forwarded


35

MiracleHealing


my request to Gurudev, that is why my wife’shealth had improved considerably and she hasalso been discharged from the hospital, today. I have brought her here, directly from the hospital.”

I told him in all honestly that I had forgottento put forward his request to Gurudev. “But he has still answered your prayers. This is an evidence of his divine cosmic powers.”

In February 2003, the regional Prabhu KripaConvention was organized in Paschim Vihar, inDelhi. There one of the volunteers, Vijay Chauhancame to me and said, “Doctors have diagnosedthat both my kidneys have failed. They have advised me to take complete bed rest, but I wantto devote my time and services in the ChattarpurCamp which is going to be organized after 15days. I don’t know how to achieve this or howthis is going to be possible?” His acute concernand anxiety worried me.

To my greatest surprise, with the divine bless-ings of our revered Gurudev, Vijay Chauhan at-tended the camp and was actively involved inthe voluntary services of the event. He alsoreached the camp on his two-wheeled vehicleand narrated to us all, that the doctors had foundhim “completely normal!”


36

Hypocrisy and lies cannot hold water in Gurudev’s divine presence. Most of the time Gurudev remains as if ignorant even after knowing everything happening around him, but he voices his opinion very firmly too, sometimes.

During the Prabhu Kripa convention held inBengalore in December 2003, a businessmanwho attended the event, requested Gurudev tovisit his home and factory. Gurudev accepted hisinvitation and visited him accompanied by Dr.S.L. Arora (Chairman of Sant Nirankari Mission),Guru Ma. Dr. Arora, became highly impressed,after seeing the opulent and lavish lifestyle of thehost. He also shared his thoughts with Gurudev.Gurudev listened to him very calmly, without responding.

After lunch, Gurudev, called up the head ofthe family along with the other family members.Gurudev, decided to speak to the family directly,but only behind closed doors and in total privacy. Gurudev then disclosed something tothe family in confidence saying, “Your family is inbig trouble. You are in heavy debts. Your factoryis running at a huge loss. Your family is facing internal conflicts which are the root cause of so


37

DivineWill ofGod


much sadness in your life”.Gurudev also provided some solutions for

their problems and returned back to his hotel.On the way back, Dr. Arora asked Gurudev, “It isamazing, how did you know everything aboutthe family?”

Gurudev replied gently, “It’s all the divine willof God.!”


38

29th March 2003 was the date fixed for the6th Prabhu Kripa Convention to be held at KirtiNagar, Delhi. On the 19th of March, just a fewdays before the convention, during the colorfulfestival of Holi, Gurudev called me and said,“Come down at the earliest, as we have to godown to inspect the venue for the convention."

I reached Gurudev’s place, shortly. I requestedGurudev, not to go to the venue that day, as Holiwas being celebrated everywhere. Gurudevreplied, “Don’t worry. Let's go and see the venue."

I expressed my reservations once again,whilst we were travelling in the car, heading towards our destination. “People will recognizeyou, as your shows are being telecast daily.” ButGurudev replied, “Don’t worry, God will take careof everything”.

When we reached the venue, we saw Holi celebrations were taking place in full swing andthat too with a lot of festive fanfare. Gurudev gotdown from the car and started inspecting thevenue. I was taken aback, when I noticed that noone identified Gurudev at all. What was strangerstill was the fact that, unknown people were recognizing me. They started greeting me withgreat respect, but they did not see Gurudev, at all.


39

14Mystery of a PowerfulMantra


On our way back home, puzzled, I asked Gurudev the secret or mystery of him not beenseen or recognized by the crowds, which was beyond my logical comprehension. Gurudevreplied, “There is one special Mantra, and afterreciting it, no one can recognize me until suchtime that I wish to be recognized or be visible inmy physical, human form”

Within me, I saluted and bowed down to this unique divine entity of Gurudev’s elevatedspiritual state and being. I was grateful to havehad an opportunity to have experienced somany spiritual and mystic insights in his augustcompany and felt blessed to be in this uniqueposition and proximity.


40

During my spiritual journey with Gurudev,I have noted innumerable times that

recipient of his blessings usually becomesaware of Gurudev bestowing his blessings onthem, as they realize within themselves that Gurudev has accepted their request to granttheir wishes or make them come true. The devotees also witness his divine power in uniqueinexplicable ways.

During the month of November in the year2003, Gurudev was the chief guest at a specialevent in a famous Jain Temple in Haridwar. As instructed by Gurudev, the crew and cameramanreached the venue a day prior to the scheduledevent.

At noon, on the day of the event, Gurudevcalled me up and asked me to reach the VIP ghatof Har Ki Pauri. Accompanying him was a seniorpolitician from the Mauritius Government and asenior official of a TV channel.”Reach here assoon as possible.” Gurudev had said. I left for theHar Ki Pauri Ghat immediately.

The television crew and cameraman had already reached as directed by Gurudev. TheMinister was performing special prayers underGurudev’s guidance for Goddess Ganga.

Later on, in the afternoon Mr. J.K. Jain, the


41

15DivinePerception


event planner of Jain Temple, also came to theghat. After completion of the prayer rites, we allsat together.

Mr. Jain requested Gurudev to reach thevenue as early as possible as the time for the dueevent to begin was fast approaching. He also invited the Honorable Minister to accompanyGurudev. The Minister had different plans. ”I haveto go to Delhi and I will be taking Gurudev alongwith me,” he declared, to Mr. Jain’s great surprise.

Mr. Jain was shocked to learn of this sudden,new development and said that “It is impossible,as Gurudev is our chief guest, and our programschedule begins with Gurudev, and besides the Chief Magistrate is also coming and wants to meet Gurudev in particular. In such circumstances how can he leave for Delhi?”

Mutually, they continued the discussion politely. Gurudev said that, “each individual willrespect the other person’s opinion without anyintervention from me.”

The Minister turned to Mr. Jain and said, “Ihave come here only to meet Gurudev. You stayin India. You can meet Gurudev even later. But it’snot possible for me to come back to India againand again.”

Mr. Jain was left speechless on the strength


42

of the Minister’s persuasive argument. Gurudev and the TV executive left for Delhi after this conversation. The next day I received a call fromthe executive querying after Gurudev’s where-abouts. “Where is Gurudev?“ he asked. Heseemed concerned.

I said, “You should know better. He left forDelhi with you. You were accompanying him.”

He then narrated what had happened and hisreason for not knowing about Gurudev’s, subsequent movements. “Once we reached Delhiborder,” he said “Gurudev stepped out of the car.Since that moment, he has neither returned norhave we heard anything from him. I have evenmade enquiries at Gurudev’s, residence. He is notat home either. Tomorrow morning the Ministerhas a flight back to Mauritius. He needs to meetGurudev. He is very worried and tense, becausehe does not want to miss the opportunity ofbeing with Gurudev whilst he is in Delhi, beforehe flies back to Mauritius.”

Two days later, Gurudev returned to his residence of his own accord. I requested Gurudevto narrate, as to what had really happened. Hethen disclosed details of the entire incident andhis reasons for disappearing inexplicably, without informing those accompanying him.


43


Gurudev then recounted those moments andrelated as to how whilst returning back to Delhi,he sensed intuitively, that the Minister was feeling a sense of arrogant pride because of hisrecent triumph of succeeding in bringing Gurudev to Delhi on the strength of his politicallyinfluential and high status. Gurudev had read hisinnermost thoughts. “I stepped out of his car atDelhi border, took a taxi and went to my medita-tion centre,” he stated casually.

Another such incident surfaced during theMahakumbh event in May 2004. At that time the26th Prabhu Kripa Convention was being held inUjjain. The organizers of the event were an organization called the Aggarwal SinghasthSamiti. Proud of their financially sound status,their attitude was arrogant, and Gurudev sensedthis attitude right from the moment the organizers reached Indore Airport to receive Gurudev.

Mr. Santosh Aggarwal, the Vice Chairman ofAggarwal Singhasth Samiti had made arrange-ments for Gurudev’s stay at his own residence.When Gurudev reached their residence, thedrawing room was already crowded and packedwith people who were waiting for Gurudev’s


44

arrival. Gurudev then instructed the organizersthat “I will not meet anyone before the comple-tion of the impending convention.” Gurudev didnot make an exception to these instructions,even for Mr. Santosh Aggarwal’s family.

During the final stages of the convention, Gurudev instructed the devotees to donate asmuch as they could to the organizers of the convention.

This created total chaos amongst the organizers. After much confusion and dialoguethat followed between the organizers, they reluctantly agreed to announce, that if the devotees want to donate, they can donate onlyone single Rupee.

Gurudev responded, by declining to accept, what the organizers had allowed to beannounced and said, “I cannot say what you wantme to say, as it is the Universal Law of nature thatwhatever a person gives, he will get that back forsure. People will give as per their convenienceand wishes and as much as they can. I cannotdictate to them, to donate only a single Rupee.”

After the convention, sensing the organizers’attitude, I confided in Gurudev that we shouldleave immediately. Surprisingly, Gurudev acceded to my request and shifted from the


45


Aggarwals’ residence to a camp at the venue ofKumbh Sathal.

Next day when all the volunteers were sittingaround in the camp, some senior members of theorganizing committee arrived and expressedtheir desire to meet Gurudev. Gurudev was informed of their arrival. He asked the volunteersto bring them in only after he finished and wasfree from his prayers.

After prayers Gurudev met each one of theCommittee members individually.

He told each one of them about the ailmentsthey were suffering from and the cures availablefor those ailments. None of them had told Gurudev about his personal ailments or problems. After experiencing Gurudev’s divinepowers first hand, they were in a state of embarrassed amazement as tears welled up in their eyes. There was a renewed sense ofrecognition of Gurudev’s spiritual mystic aspectsas they realized their mistakes within themselves,and felt humbled after the initial arrogant stancethey had earlier displayed.

Gurudev’s divinity remains obscure and it isan aspect the ordinary person cannot easily decode or understand. My insights into his


46

elevated spiritual persona was gained by Gurudev’s own gentle explanations each timewe were mystified by some new inexplicable incident, episode or situation which was beyondthe realms of logic or our ordinary logical interpretations.

On the surface certain experiences seemedto be within the confines of ordinary common-place, everyday, phenomenon or occurrences.

I have experienced this innumerable times. Irecall one such experience which was seeminglyordinary, but having reflected upon it from a spiritually perceptive view point, it further illus-trates Gurudev’s divine unification with CosmicEnergy.

Another incident that comes to mind happened on the 23rd of January 2003.

I was to accompany Gurudev for some important work, in Mehrauli. Gurudev called meto say, “I have done my prayers. I am ready to go,so please come over." I replied saying, ”Gurudev,Prem Sagar’s presence is also required for thatwork.” Gurudev said “In that case, wait for 10 minutes. I will call you again.”

After waiting for half hour, when Gurudevdidn’t call back, I decided to call him up. Guru Ma


47


took the call. I requested Guru Ma, to let me tospeak with Gurudev. Guru Ma replied, “Gurudevis in Prayer. After talking to you, he went to meditate into his Prayer Room. He is still there.Once he comes out, he will call you.”

After some time, Gurudev called me up andsaid, “I’m ready. You may bring Prem sagar alongwith you.”

I reached him as quickly, as was humanly possible. I humbly asked Gurudev to reveal themystery of what to me seemed incomprehensi-ble. I had wondered why he went back to pray,just after we spoke earlier and were about toleave for our destination.

“Initially I took permission from God to takeyou along with me. But when you told me aboutthe arrival of Prem Sagar, then I had to take permission yet again for taking Prem Sagar alongwith us. Now I have taken permission from God.Now you can come as soon as possible.”

We all left for Mehrauli. With my mind nowcleared of any doubts, we proceeded quietly toour destination.

Whenever Gurudev sees any of his devoteesunsatisfied, it is an intrinsic part of his nature totry to bestow more blessings on him. One such


48

incident happened in the convention organizedin Bangalore. A devotee attended the conven-tion and after its completion, he requested Gurudev to visit his home. Gurudev accepted theoffer happily and even visited his residence. Thedevotee welcomed Gurudev, with a great deal oflove and respect.

The very next day the devotee expressed hisdissatisfaction regarding something. In the firstplace, his desire itself was inappropriate andtherefore not possible to accommodate. We discussed the devotee’s request, with Gurudev.“There is no doubt that the desire is inappropri-ate to accept, but I will not leave Bangalore with any devotee dissatisfied.” He answered conclusively.

Gurudev, once answered our queries, relatedto his duty. “Do only ailing people come to see adoctor? Do healthy people not need a doctor forany reason? God has given me the duty to curepeople, regardless of the fact whether the ailment is a physical, mental, or spiritual one; orsimply related to financial and other problems intheir lives.”

Gurudev illustrated what he had just explained, by a different incident, but one which


49


was well documented, related to SwamiVivekananda. “One day Swami Vivekananda wassitting on a river bank. He was repeatedly tryingto help a poisonous scorpion, to come out of theriver. Whenever he succeeded in getting thescorpion out of the river, the scorpion stung himand then retreated back into the river. In themeantime, Swami Vivekananda’s Guru, Ram Krishna Paramhansa came by. He asked SwamiVivekananda that when he knew the scorpionwould sting him repeatedly, why was he tryingto take it out of the river. Swami Vivekanandasaid, “If a scorpion cannot change his deadly, behavior of stinging, then being a human, howcan I change my attitude of helping others. It is inthe nature of a scorpion to sting everyone, but itis in my nature to help everyone. So I just hopethat I am successful in taking this scorpion out ofthis river and can protect it from drowning.”

Gurudev said, “This should be the case withus too. Loving others should come naturally tous without expecting anything from them. Ouraim should be to try to change the nature ofother person with our positive attitude and giving”

In November 2004, on the day of Ganesh


50

Chaturthi, I was with Gurudev in Mumbai. Gurudev was at an unknown location for specialGanesh Paath and meditation. About a couple ofdays before this, Gurudev had accepted somedevotees’ request to visit their home. One of thedevotees was a lady, who was desperately waiting for Gurudev to visit her home.

Gurudev called me up from an unknown location and said, “Inform everyone that today Iwill not be meeting anyone as it is GaneshChaturthi, a special day, and I am on a fast. I willnot even drink water. You also inform and request everyone to keep a fast today. Unknow-ingly, if anyone has already eaten or drunk anything, then ask them to take a bath again andstart their fast. Please contact the people I hadpromised to visit and inform them that I will notbe coming today.”

Gurudev concluded the call saying, “Don’t tryto contact me. I am switching off my mobilephone.”

As per Gurudev’s instructions, I informedeveryone including that lady. She was not happyto hear that Gurudev would not be coming andsounded rather annoyed. She said, “I made elaborate plans to welcome Gurudev. If todayGurudev will not come, then it will create a very


51


embarrassing position for me, besides having to abandon my elaborate arrangements andpreparations already in place to welcome him.”

On hearing her agitated response, I was extremely perturbed not knowing how to handle the situation. Suddenly, Gurudev calledme and asked, “What are you worried about?” Reluctantly, I told him. “One lady is not ready tolisten to anything,” I said.

Gurudev’s response was to me, by now, notsurprising in the least. “Is my fast bigger or thelove of my devotees? You give me her numberand I will talk to her directly," He said. I gave hernumber to Gurudev. Later that day, the ladycalled to say, “Because of you, today I feel that Iam blessed. Gurudev called me up himself. It isthe biggest thing that has happened in my life.He said, that if I so wanted, he was ready to comeand break his fast for me. But I told him that hecan come whenever he wants to come. He saidthat he will come tomorrow. He also advised meto observe the fast for today. I am blessed that hehimself called me today.”

My firm belief today is, trust in the divinecompletely. God is a divine ocean of SupremeBlessings.


52

On the occasion of the 18th Prabhu KripaDukh Nivaran Convention, scheduled to be heldon 13th-14th December 2003, in the city of Bangalore, a press conference was organized twodays prior to the convention. There, by sheer co-incidence I met the director of the renownedVivekananda Research Institute, who was wellaware of the unique, divine powers of Gurudev.During discussions, he said, “Giving a completediagnosis of the patient just by looking at thephotograph shows the elevated status of Gurudev’s divinity.” He went on to say, “A seminaris being organized in the Institute on 18th December. The topic to be discussed is, Science& Spirituality." He also told us that several scientists and intellectual personalities wouldparticipate in the seminar. He said, “Gurudev’sholiness and divinity have reached great heights.His extraordinary divinity would be a viable subject for a debate in the field of science. Theywant to invite Gurudev for the seminar, and thiswould enable a scientific analysis of his divineabilities, the results of which would be put forward to the panel of scientists and other intellectuals in the seminar.” When I discussed theproposal with Gurudev, his response was gentle,and he accepted the proposal, understandingly.


53

16Under theScrutinyof Science


On 17th December, Gurudev along with afew volunteers reached Vivekananda Institute.Scientific analysis of Gurdevji began in severalscientific laboratories like Revoked Potential,Metabolic Analyzer etc. Gurudev was requestedto attain a highly elevated spiritual state of mindin meditation. The results that started to emergewere nothing short of startling.

Gurudev’s body was connected to severalmachines. The results and analysis of the experi-ments were continuously under the acutely focused scrutiny and mental scanner of severalscientists. After some time, the scientists weresurprised to see that, Gurudev’s heart was beating at a normal pace, but the breathing ratewas below normal. His mind had achieved an extreme state of sensitivity. This led one of thescientists to make a declaration which shockedeveryone. “Gurudevji has left his body," he statedconfidently.

Scientists started to check the pulse rate ofGurudev. It was missing, or non-existent! They increased the sensitivity of their machines, but invain. They could still not detect any pulse. After alapse of some time, Gurudev came back into anormal state of being, of his own accord. Hispulse returned to normal, once again.


54

With the results of Revoked Potential, scientists concluded that Gurudev‘s mind worksat a greater speed than a normal human being’smind. And during meditation, the sensitivity ofGurudev’s mind reached a state of inexplicableelevation. His power and ability to grasp was innumerable times higher than that of any normal human being.

After all the proceedings of the experimentscame to an end, scientists concluded, “We havedone these sensitive experiments on many spiritual Gurus. But undoubtedly, the experiments done on Gurudev can be witnessedonly once in a lifetime. Descriptions about saintscan be read in holy books and scriptures. It is indeed surprising, yet very heartening to know,saints like Gurudev still exist in this world”.

A little later, Gurudev was requested to take aseat in a big hall. There were 18 patients sittingin the hall. Their complete diagnosis was readilyavailable with the doctors. Every one present wasamazed to note that Gurudev saw the patientsonly for seconds and then gave their completediagnosis in detail. Gurudev’s diagnosis talliedwith the diagnosis and details of other informa-tion available with the doctors.

One unique incident occurred. After simply


55


looking at a lady, who came from abroad, Gurudev said, “You are infected with a deadly disease, which you haven’t disclosed to anyone.The lady said, “No, I am not infected with anysuch disease.” Gurudev then said to her, “Shall Itell you about disease you have contracted, inpublic?”. After getting no reply from her, Gurudevspoke to her earnestly, but in a quiet, sober tone.“You have AIDS”.

After listening to Gurudev, the lady brokedown sobbing profusely. Gurudev then contin-ued saying, “Don’t worry, I will communicate withGod for you.”

After the emergence of such positively conclusive results and reports, a huge discussionensued in the seminar on the importance of ‘Spirituality in Modern Times.’


56

It is the supreme truth and a material factthat astrology is a definite science. Lines presenton our palms and feet and positioning of variousplanets in our horoscope chart directly affect ourlives. But there are few people in this world whounderstand this science in its entirety or in greatdepth. A person definitely experiences, whateveris written in his destiny. But it’s very important,that the person should develop the expertise tomaster this science in depth.

In Shrimad Bhagwad Gita also, Lord Krishnahad said, “Every one gets the fruits of their livesdepending upon his karma or deeds he has donein his present life or previous births." But he alsosaid that, "if a person comes to me with a selflessheart, then I forgive him and free him from all hisfetters of Karma."

The incident that I want to mention here occurred when I went to meet Gurudev at his residence, to discuss some important issues. Gurudev was sitting in his room. A renowned astrologer was sitting with him. I touched theholy feet of Gurudev and Panditji, and sat neartheir feet. After some time, Panditji told mesomething that surprised me immensely. Panditjisaid, “There is absolutely no indication in the


57

17TheTrumpCard


horoscope chart of Gurudev for either a marriage, or for that matter having children. Further, there is no possibility of his having anywealth or money.”

I was not able to comprehend what Panditjiwas saying. How was that possible?

I respected Panditji from the bottom of myheart, so I would not believe that what he saidwas not truth. But the reality was the exact opposite i.e. Gurudev is happily married to GuruMa, blessed with two beautiful children and isheavily bestowed with an abundance of wealthdue to the divine blessings of Goddess Lakshmi.Gurudev's fame is widespread. He is renownedinternationally and far beyond the confines ofnational boundaries. Yet, I could not doubt Panditji’s intellectual ability or expertise in astrology. Gurudev had already appraised meabout Panditji being a scholar of astrology andof his expertise in the same field. So when Iplaced my query in front of Gurudev, he replied,“Reverend Panditji is perfectly right in whateverhe is saying. I don’t have lines for marriage, children or having any money. Whatever I havegot, I received from God due to His blessings andHis Will.”


58

Gurudev has always emphasized the importance of selfless service to mankind. Heelaborated this by saying that whatever he hasgot is through the blessings of his Gurus and selfless service to mankind.

I was lucky enough to witness many such incidents of God’s divine blessings and Gurudev’sselfless service by virtue of spending time withhim in close proximity, which began with ourproject and the filming of ‘Secrets of Ayurvigyan’.One such incident happened in June 2002 whilstthe filming progressed. We were in Mussourie forthe shooting of the show. Gurudev and Guru Mawere staying in Philigiri Hotel at Camel Back Roadand our camera team was in another hotel, onMall Road.

Just after the shooting schedule was completed for the day, Gurudev instructed us tocheck out from our hotel and reach him as wewere scheduled to travel to Haridwar after this.

As instructed, we checked out from our hoteland reached Gurudev. I asked the camera teamto wait for some time, and went over to Gurudev’s room. Delhi based politician ShriJagdish Anand was sitting with his wife in Gurudev’s room. Gurudev and Guru Ma were in aconversation with him.


59

18SelflessService


Suddenly Gurudev looked out of the window.He got up swiftly, and in a flash, moved brisklyout of the room. We were all surprised to observethis. Then Guru Ma simply said, “Please ask thecamera team to return back to their hotel. Thecrew was scheduled to go to Haridwar but I don’tsee that happening now. I think we need to postpone the plan. I don’t have any idea rightnow as to when we will be able to leave Mussourie. It’s also very uncertain as to when Gurudev will be back. Also when Gurudev left, hehad Rs. 60,000 in his pocket. Now, I don’t evensee the probability of that money returning backeither. We need to fill fuel in the car, but I don’tknow how it will happen now.”

Confused, I discussed my thoughts and further queried Guru Ma to elaborate further asto where Gurudev had suddenly disappearedwithout a warning, leaving our plans to travel toHaridwar abandoned for that day.

“There is an Ashram near to Philigiri Hotel,”Guru Ma explained. “Gurudev has a very close relationship with the holy saint there. Gurudevsaw that saint crossing the road and therefore heran after that holy saint. Now with all dedicationand devotion he will offer everything he has inhis pocket to the saint. After that, he will accom-


60

pany him. I really don’t know when Gurudev willcome back. That is the reason, I asked you topostpone the program of going to Haridwarpresently, and to kindly return for now, andcheck in, at your hotel again."

Tense with the newly developed situation, Istarted strolling about on the road, impatiently.I asked the camera team to wait for some more time. After an hour, I saw Gurudev comingtowards the hotel. I ran towards him.

He simply said, “I have given everything I had.Do you have some money with you? We need to fill fuel in the car, only then we can go to Haridwar.”

I replied, “Even I have very little money on meand I need to fill the fuel in my car also.” Gurudevsaid, “Don’t worry! Let's go inside. We may findsome money with Guru Ma.”

We both went to Guru Ma. Initially she believed she did not have any money on her,therefore she declined having any. But after Gurudev insisted, she searched again in her suitcase and by the Grace of God, enough moneywas found, which covered all our expenses toreach Haridwar..

Later Gurudev gently said, “Dedicate yourselfcompletely to your Guru, without thinking and


61


worrying about the future. Guru will himself dictate to you, the right path in your life.”

One day, Guru Ma also told us many divine incidents out of Gurudev’s life, of selfless servicefor his Gurus. One such incident happened whenGurudev used to work as a compounder in a dispensary at Sant Nirankari Colony. His salarywas Rupees Three Hundred per month. Onemorning, when Gurudev was leaving for his dispensary, one of Gurudev’s old friends came tosee him, from Hanuman Garh. He came to collect Rupees Three Thousand back from Gurudev, which he had loaned to him quitesome time back. When the friend asked for hismoney from Gurudev, he replied gently, I haven'ttaken my salary from past four months from the dispensary. I will return Rupees One Thou-sand back to you today, and with Rupees TwoHundred I will run my household. Saying this, Gurudev left for the dispensary.

On reaching the dispensary, Gurudev got hissalary. While returning home, he saw his Guru. Asper his gentle, caring and generous nature, Gurudev gave his entire salary to his Guru andcame back home, silently.

On being asked about the money by the


62

friend, Gurudev said, “I have given my entiresalary of four months to my Guru.” The friendthen asked him, “Now, how are you going to runyour household expenses?” Gurudev repliedback, “With the divine Grace of God.” The friendwas both anxious and very surprised to hear that.He gave some more money to Gurudev and leftfor Hanuman Garh.

Another incident happened when Gurudevhad recently bought his new Esteem car. In theevening, Gurudev along with some saints left forHaridwar. They were driving through the denseforests of Muzaffar Nagar. It was a cold, chillynight. Suddenly, one of the saints sitting in thecar said, “What are you doing in this car? Withwhose permission you are sitting inside the car?Move out of the car?”

Gurudev said, “OK, as you wish.”Gurudev moved out of the car and started

walking in the forest. It was very dark. Nothingwas visible. There were just a few cars visible now and again on the road. When Gurudev, gottired after walking for some time, a car stoppednear him.

While rolling down the glass of the window,the saint said, “You are very innocent. This is your


63


car. We are sitting inside and you are walking outside. You need to take us to Haridwar. Come inside the car.”

Gurudev said, “OK, as you wish!" once again.Gurudev sat inside the car and they drove off

towards Haridwar.


64

Repeatedly, Gurudev has mentioned in thePrabhu Kripa Conventions organized in India andabroad, that the Cosmic Sound Secrets given inthese conventions for the removal of all physical,mental and financial obstacles of a person areelicited directly from the holy scriptures like theVedas, Jinvani, Guru Granth Sahib ji, Kuran-e-Pak,Bible, Dhammpada etc. With the divine blessings,Gurudev can provide it from any holy scriptureof any religion. Generally, people do not tend tobelieve this fact and reality but this is the onlytruth. With the divine blessings, this has been exemplified many times.

One day Mr. Satendra Jain and Mr. J.K. Jainowners of a famous national publication house,‘Motilal Banarasi Das Publications’ came to meetGurudev at his residence. I had a lengthy discus-sion with them on Jainism. After some time, Gurudev also arrived. The Jain Brothers touchedGurudev’s feet and then there was complete silence for some time.

Gurudev asked about the discussions havingtaken place before his arrival. We told Gurudevthe content of our interaction. He appreciatedthe topic of the discussion in a serious manner.Then he meditated for some time and started


65

19Unity inDiversity


speaking on the subject of Jainism very fluently.The Jain brothers were quietly listening to

everything. Gurudev also threw light on many divine secrets and gave them a secret mantra torecite everyday to make them free from theirphysical, mental and financial problems.

After expressing his views, when Gurudevpaused for some time, Mr. Satendra Jain said, “Ifwe are going to publish your views in a categorical order then it will take the form of a newscripture on Jainism, full of divine secrets. Yourviews on Jainism are the basis of different Jainscriptures. Your knowledge about Jainism is divine.”

After this incident in November 2004, TeraPanth Sabha, a Jain organization invited Gurudev to Secundrabad. Gurudev accepted theinvitation happily.

A renowned Jain saint by the name of ShriSumermal was also present there. Gurudev discussed about Jainism in detail and disclosedthe divine secrets of Jainism, which could helpmankind to come out of their problems and benefit them. Gurudev also illustrated the divinesecrets present in Jinvani which can be used forthe benefit of mankind.

Muni Sri Sumermal addressed the audienceand said, “After listening to Gurudev, it appearsthat his views are not only based on Jainism, butthey are based on his experiences of life. It appears that he has absorbed the divine secretsand has had an intuitive glimpse of Jainism in hislife.”

Another incident of cosmic divinity can bewitnessed at Jalandhar convention in August2004, where Gurudev revealed the cosmic secrets from the Guru Granth Sahib.

In July 2004 a Prabhu Kripa Convention washeld in Jammu & Kashmir. After the completionof the convention we all accompanied Gurudevto Hazrat Bal where Imam Sahib welcomed Gurudev whole heartedly. At the request of someMuslim brothers Gurudev revealed some divinesecrets from Kuran-e-Pak.

The truth behind divine powers is as Gurudevexplains saying that, “The truth behind CosmicSound Secrets is not words but certain soundwhich are present in all religious scriptures in ascattered form.” Gurudev provides us these Cosmic Sound Secrets by putting them all in onethread. It has been well illustrated in all the


67


scriptures that they can be found only by a wisemystic. For instance, Gurudev provided a specialCosmic Sound Secrets to all devotees from theAtharva Veda. It is well written in Veda that this mantra is a super jewel of all mantras. It haspowers of Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, Lord Mahesh, Goddess Mahalaksmi, Goddess Mahakali, Goddess Mahasaraswati, Lord Kuber,Lord Indra and many other Gods. This mantra isthe most effective of all Mantras, because it givesbenefits on an immediate basis.

About this, an evidence can be also wit-nessed, Gurudev said, “God is one, but his namesare many. Some call Him Ishwar, some call Him Allah, some call Him Wah-e-Guru, some callHim Jesus, some call Him Buddha and some callHim Mahavir. Water quenches thirst, regardlessof name anyone calls it by. The sun also shinesequally over all, even if it is called by differentnames.” Further, Gurudev says, that the CosmicSound Secrets being provided to all devotees byhim, are directly received from God. And God hasno particular religion. He belongs to all equallyand therefore Cosmic Sound Secrets are extremely effective and can be found in all theHoly scriptures.

It has been scientifically proven innumerabletimes that all proceedings of Bhagwan Shree Lak-shmi Narayan Dham take place with the divineblessings of God. Regardless of how famous, orgreat a singer, author or orator one maybe, it isultimately the divine power of God, which comesinto play, and the power that rules the hearts ofthousands of devotees, unconditionally.

On the Prakash Utsav of Sadguru Nanak DevJi, in November 2003, a famous singer was in-vited to the studio.

He was famous in India and overseas for hisSufi singing. That day, sang a devotional song forthe recording. After the recording, Gurudevasked us a question in a low voice, “How wasthat?” I promptly replied that, “I was not able tosee any depth in his singing or voice.”

“Switch off all the lights and cameras of thestudio and let us all sit with our eyes closed for few minutes,” instructed Gurudev. Everyonefollowed Gurudev’s instructions. We were alsogiven a special Mantra by Gurudev to recite.

Ten Minutes later we were instructed toswitch on the lights. and Gurudev asked thesinger to sing the same song again.

The singer sang again, but this time there wasa striking difference, and the impact on us all was


69

20DivinePowers


magically profound and touched the cord of ourhearts. We were so moved that tears welled up,as the voice and content of the song, stirred oursoul.

Another miraculous incident comes to mind, where I was to inaugurate the Ayodhyaconvention. Unfortunately I was under a severeattack of infection and suffered a sore throat andhad lost my voice. I was extremely worried about not being able to speak or anchor the convention. Deeply concerned about failing inmy duty, I bowed down and prayed to Gurudevsilently. After my humble prayer, I made one further attempt to speak. I was very relieved andhumbled to note that my voice had returned tonormal. I resumed my duty and inaugurated theconvention, but the most astounding thing wasthat after the convention, I lost my voice onceagain.

Something very similar had happened whenthe first convention was due.

I was to speak for a recording regarding information on the first convention. Due to a badthroat, I was unable to speak. Yet, it was crucialand unavoidable that I proceed with the recording. It could not be postponed. I began to


70

pray and started the recording. I regained my lostvoice for the recording, although I was dismayedwhen my voice was lost again as the recordingended.

The TV show “Secrets of Ayurvigyan” had already crossed the milestone, within a few daysof its first telecast. The show was achieving arecord viewership and witnessed dizzy heightsof success. In this show, Gurudev would look atthe photograph of the applicant and give them acomplete diagnosis, along with solutions. Webegan to receive 250-300 letters a day in Bhag-wan Shree Lakshmi Narayan Dham. All 18 tele-phone lines used to be busy with queries.Officials of Aastha channel began to complainthat for Gurudev’s show, the enormous amountof mail and phone calls being received were af-fecting the normal routine work of their channel.They said that their whole staff was very muchdisturbed with such disruptions.

As the show's popularity grew in stature, oneof the producers in Mumbai, proposed to Gurudev to start another show on a famous Punjabi channel in Europe. The complete recording was to be done only in Punjabi. Gurudev closed his eyes for some time in


71


meditation and then gave his approval to goahead with the proposed show. My problem wasthat I didn't know Punjabi language well enough.I discussed this with Gurudev and expressed myconcern and reservations. “I will not be able tohost and anchor the show, but I will stay behindthe camera. Any Punjabi anchor can come and host the show and he will show you the photographs and ask you the questions relatedto the photo." I said. But Gurudev asked me to sitwith the anchor during the show and compeerthe show in a way that I could handle it.

The search for a Punjabi anchor started. Aprofessional Punjabi anchor was head hunted inMumbai. Surprisingly, he was not able to ask anyquestions to Gurudev. We then tried to find aPunjabi anchor in Chandigarh and Dehradun.Our search drew a blank. We were not able to find anyone suitable. I was not able to understand why it was happening. Then Gurudev said, “let us drop this idea of a Punjabianchor. We will simply continue as we did earlier.”

In another incident, I want to illustrate, I hadan idea that we should add some glamour to the show by introducing a professional model toanchor the show. This I believed would attract


72

more viewers and thus increase the viewershipseveral times over.

I shared my innermost thoughts with Gurudev. I said “if you permit me I can ask a professional model to host the show." Gurudevsmiled gently and said, “Do as you feel is right,but you will also have to be a part of anchoringthe show."

As per Gurudev’s instructions, I contacted aprofessional model co-ordinator to select amodel for the show. I invited a model to host theshow. She was a famous name in the world of television.

Shooting started around 12 o clock at night.Gurudev sat on a mat and after some time helooked at the model very seriously and said, “Mydear, today you cannot sit for the recording, because you are going through your menstrualcycle."

The model was present along with hermother. Both were shocked to hear that. Themodel then asked me, very softly, “How does Gurudev know that I am having my periods." Sheleft the studio, shortly after this.

Another model was arranged to anchor theshow. Shooting went on for hours. After sometime, Gurudev suddenly addressed the model


73


and said, “A girl can have one or two boyfriends,but you have five boyfriends. And you haveasked everyone to meet you at 5 am in the morning. How are you going to meet all of them?What are you going to do so early at 5 O’ clock inthe morning?”

Listening to this, the model was taken abackand nothing short of scandalized. Visibly anxious,her face mirrored how shocked she was. She leftthe shooting after saying that, “Swamiji is verydangerous, How did he come to know that I haveasked all my five boyfriends to meet me at 5 oclock in the morning? I will not come in front ofhim again. I don’t know what more he might say.”

The lady was left very surprised, and thewhole camera team stood riveted as if stunnedwith the revelation. Co-incidently her father wasalso present at the shooting. She left the shoot,saying “How did Gurudev come to know aboutconfidential details of my personal life!"

This incident happened in Mumbai. Duringthe night shooting Gurudev started looking veryangrily at the light boy of the show. He said, “Youbeat your wife regularly, drink and abuse drugsdaily. Stop doing all this."

After listening to all this, the light boy startedapologizing profusely but Gurudev closed his


74

eyes and sat quietly.Gurudev says, “After saying my prayers, when

I sit for the shooting, I am able to visualize thewhole crew along with their family members andcan also see the problems and ailments they aresuffering from.”

Once shooting was being done late at night.Suddenly Gurudev asked the cameraman to callhis mother at home. He said, “Your mother is seriously ill. She is not able to get up from thebed. You call her up immediately." When hecalled up at his residence, he was surprised toknow the truth.

Once, on another occasion, shooting wasbeing held late at night. While shooting, the cameraman dozed off. At that moment, Gurudevwas diagnosing a gentleman and was explaininghis ailments. But when we tried to wake up thecameraman, Gurudev stopped us saying, “Lethim sleep. He hasn’t slept for the past three days.He is really very tired. I have made him sleep. Hewill get up on his own after three minutes andwill feel fresh.” After some time, we were all surprised to see that camera man get up, as Gurudev had predicted just a few minutes earlier.

It is a Universal Law of Nature that as onesows, so does one reap.

Neither the seed nor the field benefits whenthe farmer sows a seed in the field. The farmeralone benefits and enjoys the fruits of his laborand toil.

The seed sprouts and gets transformed overa period of time into fruits and flowers. A strikinglesson to learn from it is that the seed never returns a single seed, fruit or flower back, it always returns its benefits thousand fold.

Likewise, the services we offer to mankind are returned full circle in accordance with theUniversal Law. What goes comes around in life. Good, kind deeds done in the service of humanity are always returned by Higher Nature.We always get rewarded for our selfless deeds.

A Prabhu Kripa convention was scheduled tobe held in Maharashtra. After the convention, thedivine process of Gurudev visiting the homes ofdevotees and volunteers was taking place . Atmidnight, we had already finished our dinner atone of the devotee’s house. It was around 2 am,in the night. Suddenly Gurudev announced, “Wehave to go to one more place. There you andGuru Ma alone will accompany me. No one elsewill come.”


76

As per Gurudev’s instructions, we started forthis unknown destination. After travellingthrough some lonely isolated streets, the carstopped, in front of an ordinary house. The family greeted Gurudev and Guru Ma with loadsof love and respect. After some time Gurudevasked the lady, “Sister, prepare some food for us.I thought to myself that we have already had ourdinner, so why is Gurudev asking them to prepare dinner again?”

After some time, dinner was laid out beforeus. I also had some in the form of Prasad.

I was not able to understand the mystery behind that particular house visit.

Soon, when it was time to leave, the lady presented Guru Ma a red chunari, along with aprecious necklace which was worth lakhs of rupees. I wondered how the simple, ordinarylooking family had gifted such a precious necklace to Guru Ma, as the head of the familywas working in an ordinary firm, his son was unemployed and his daughter was of marriageable age.

When we left the place, Gurudev asked me,“You must have seen their financial condition.Still they gifted Guru Ma with a precious necklace. This is their ancestral necklace which


77

21Service to

Mankind


they had kept for the marriage of their daughter.Shall I return this necklace back?” he asked.

I said hesitatingly, “Gurudev, whenever afarmer sows a seed in the field, the seed never returns back as a single seed, it always returnsladen with fruit or other gifts which are immeas-urable, abundant or a hundred thousand fold ofwhatever is sown.” Gurudev closed his eyes andrecited a mantra and said, “I have asked God forwhat you were wishing for this family."

Another incident of Gurudev’s blessingsbeing showered on his beloved devotees is illustrated in this incident. A convention was tobe held on Guru Purnima day and was scheduledfor 4 o clock in the evening. The weather betrayed us as it had become unbearably hot.Gurudev was staying 7-8 kms away from theVenue. He was in meditation and in special Pathso no one was allowed to meet him. But due tosome important work and with the permissionof Gurudev, I went to meet him. It was 12.30 inthe afternoon. Two ladis, one of whom was a senior official, came to meet Gurudev. When theybowed down to Gurudev, he asked them whythey had come. The ladies said, “To get yourblessings.” Then Gurudev closed his eyes and


78

said, “Go to the venue of the convention on foot.Don’t take a car.”

I was concerned and uneasy after hearingthis. It was so hot outside that it was difficult tocover 7-8 km on foot. But I kept my thoughts to myself, and trusted Gurudev’s divinity to manifest in the matter, somewhere along theway.

The lady official instructed her securityguards accompanying her, to precede them andreach the convention in the car, on their own,and both ladies then left the place happily, toproceed in order to reach the convention venue,on foot.

After some time, Gurudev asked me to send acar after them, to drive them down to the venue.I sent my car immediately, along with the driverto pick them up mid way and drive them to theconvention venue.

The driver returned soon and informed me,that they refused to accept the lift.

Three hours later, just as I reached the venuefor the convention, both the ladies made it to thevenue as well, having completed their journey byfoot. Their face was completely red, but I couldsee an inner glow of elation and happiness ontheir faces too.


79


A few days later, the lady informed me thatshe was in some big trouble due to some officialreason. The other lady was also in some hugeproblem. To my amazement I learnt from themthat with the blessings of Gurudev, both wereable to deal with their miseries very successfully.I then realized it was part of Gurudev’s divineplan to deliver the two ladies free from all theirproblems


80

The greatest spiritual Gurus and elevatedMasters always work selflessly to ensure theirdevotees' wellbeing. Different Masters through-out the ages have used different methods toachieve this. Some accomplish this through generous distribution of the divine secrets andmantras. Others recommend austerities andmeditation, and the third way is that the Gurustake all the devotees’ miseries and ailments uponthemselves and then get rid of it through meditation.

Gurudev has been helping his devotees selflessly through all of these unique methods. Itis well documented throughout history, in all theancient scriptures that it is crucial for a person tohave strong, unquestionable, rock like faith in God and his Guru who will help him to be delivered from all his mental, physical and othermiseries. Gurudev has freed his devotees, fromthis rule as well. He clearly states that even by the devotee simply practicing the Cosmic SoundSecrets given by him, they begin to work. TheCosmic Sound Secrets are going to manifest andwork for the individual reciting them and willshow their beneficial results, regardless of thefact whether the devotee has any trust or faith inGod or not.


81

22Sufferingfor Others


The conventions are attended by thousandsof devotees who are struggling with incurableand other serious ailments. They have goneeverywhere from doctors to astrologers, tantriksto ojhas and hakims. Seeing no benefits fromanyone they come to the convention to get divine blessings of God. Gurudev gives them asimple cosmic secret which they can recite anywhere and at any time in the morning,evening, whilst travelling and that too only for15-20 minutes.

Devotees do this recital daily and get rid oftheir problems. Many people go to astrologerswho suggest them recitals which will get carriedon for longer duration of time. For an example, Icite the one lakh times recital of ‘MahamritunjayaMantra’. Then it is surprising to understand thathow a simple recital given by Gurudev can makeus free from all of our problems. Of this, Gurudevsays, “For the convenience of devotees, it is advisable to do it for few minutes, but you canincrease the time to make it more effective andresult oriented.”

Gurudev’s way of freeing a person from all hismiseries is exemplified through numerous andvaried incidents. One such incident happened onthe first day of the convention scheduled in


82

Patiala in October 2005. That day Gurudev arrived but didn’t say anything. He wrote to meon a piece of paper that “One of the devotees' isbattling for his life against throat cancer at Stage4, he requested me to restore his good health. Ihave taken his ailment on myself, therefore I willnot be able to speak today."

Next day, Gurudev came back to his normalcondition. He was able to speak properly. He alsosaid, “The devotee who was suffering from throatcancer till yesterday and because of whom I wasnot able to speak is free from his ailment now,with the divine grace of God. I am normal nowand his health has been restored.”

A similar incident occurred, when a lady contacted me and said, “My Guruji stays inMehrauli, Delhi and is well renowned in the fieldof spiritualism. He is not keeping good healththese days. He is very serious and is vomitingblood. The doctor has not been able to diagnosehim properly. But I feel, with the grace of Gurudev, he may recuperate and regain hishealth back.”

I told Gurudev about the lady’s urgent request. Gurudev said, “I will go and see him inthe evening.”


83


Next day, the lady contacted me again, andsaid, “A miracle happened yesterday. Lastevening, Gurudev came. For some time both thesaints were in one room in silence. I don’t knowwhat happened between them, but from thetime Gurudev has gone back after seeing my Guruji, he is not vomiting blood!”

Later Gurudev told me, “That saint had takensomeone else’s misery upon himself, but was unable to get rid of that ailment, therefore hewas so ill. But now with the grace of God, he iswell again.”

I would like to go back in time to recall another incident from my personal life.

This is from the days when Gurudev wouldlook at a patient’s photograph in a show called“Secrets of Ayurvigyan” telecast on Aastha Channel, and give a complete diagnosis alongwith the medication and mantras required. I usedto accompany Gurudev to several locations forshooting. Once, when we were together in Vrindavan, we stayed at Balaji Dharmshala. Gurudev was staying on the first floor, while I wasput up on the second floor. Gurudev was meditating in his room and I was waiting for hismeditation to get over. I was sitting in my room


84

and was in conversation with the TV crew. Suddenly, during the conversation, I lost my consciousness. My whole body became stiff.Later the crew members told me, that at first, mywhole body turned a reddish hue and then Iturned pale yellow.

Immediately, the make-up man rushed towards Gurudev’s room. Gurudev was still in hismeditation. Gurudev, had already seen theearthen lamp in the pooja room snuff itself out.The crew told Gurudev about my condition. Gurudev said very simply, “that was the reasonthe light of this lamp went out. Don’t worry, I willcome shortly.”

After some time, I gradually started recover-ing and soon became normal again. Gurudevcame to my room and said, “Let's set off for theshooting.” The venue for the shooting was Keshav Sarovar in Govardhan Parikrama Sthal.

Gurudev soon left, along with crew membersfor Keshav Sarovar. Gurudev was in a separatecar. After reaching the venue, we started preparing for the shoot and waited for Gurudev,but he was nowhere to be seen.

After waiting for a long time, I saw Gurudev'sdriver coming towards me. He said, “Gurudev is


85


very serious, he is lying unconscious, on a brokenbed in a nearby ancient temple. His clothes andbody are badly soiled. His body is very still.”

After hearing of this I ran all the way to seeGurudev as fast as I possibly could. I was shockedto see his condition. After some time Gurudevcame back to consciousness and graduallystarted to feel normal again. He started gettingup, from the broken bed. Silently, he instructedme, “Call Guru Ma and tell her that lamp in thepooja room has gone out. Ask her to light itagain.” He then asked for a fresh set of clothesfrom the car and changed his clothes.

We were all instructed to go around Govardhan while being in the car. Though Gurudev’s health was still not perfect, he starteddoing the Parikrama while lying down in the caritself.

After the Parikrama, we came to BalajiDharmshala but Gurudev’s health was deteriorating. He was vomiting badly. Guru Mawas also called from Delhi.

Guru Ma reached within 4 hours of gettingthe news of Gurudev’s rapidly deterioratinghealth condition.

Next day, when I went to meet Gurudev in hisroom, I observed that Gurudev appeared normal.


86

To satisfy my curiosity, Gurudev unraveled thesecret or mystery behind the whole incident. Iwas stunned to hear what Gurudev had to say.“The time for your life had ended. That was thereason the lamp lit in my pooja room, blew offon its own. But when I prayed for you, God transferred your death on to me. With God’sblessings your life was returned back to youwithin a few seconds. But, when you werepreparing for the shoot at Keshav Sarovar, I cameout of the car and started to walk, but within seconds, I lost my consciousness. I fell into thepuddle of muddy water. I didn’t stop reciting themantras. After some time, God returned my consciousness. I got up very slowly and went tothe nearby temple and lay down on an old bed.But now there is no need to worry. I will be finewithin a few days. Actually, I took your death on to myself. But with divine blessings, God returned my life back to me.”

Next day, as Gurudev said, he was perfectlyfine and the shooting started in full swing atNandan Van Studio.


87


After the completion of 16th Prabhu KripaConvention, Gurudev’s mystical powers toucheda record milestone. During the convention, arenowned saint came and personally requestedme to bring Gurudev to their Ashram.

When asked the reason behind this specialrequest, the disciple told me that Swamiji’sdaughter was seriously ill. So to get her Gurudev’s Blessings, Swamiji invited him to theAshram.

The disciple repeatedly requested me tobring down Gurudev, and persisted in his re-quest both during and after the convention.After the convention, when Gurudev retired tohis room for rest, he reminded me yet again andrepeated the request.

When I told Gurudev about this repetitive request, He said, “We will go to the ashram afterthe completion of the convention.”

The very next day, Swamiji’s disciple reachedthe venue and after the completion of the convention, Gurudev left with them for theAshram. Guru Ma and a few other volunteers alsoaccompanied Gurudev to Swamiji’s Ashram.

Following Gurudev’s instructions, I also


88

accompanied them in the car but my mind wasriddled with confusion and recurring doubts. Wereached the Ashram very late at night. When weentered the Ashram we saw small temples having been built up with the photographs ofSwamiji placed in them. His disciples were worshipping him like God. I thought, this saint always talks about “Hari” (one of God’s names) inhis conversations, and says everything happenswith the will and wishes of God, but there is nota single reflection of “Hari” in these small templesbuilt in his Ashram.

Disciples greeted Gurudev with love and respect and welcomed him wholeheartedly.

Then they took us to a room where duplica-tion of audio cassettes was being done on a largescale. We were taken to an unknown locationand we were asked to wait while Gurudev wentin to see Swamiji.

After some time, Gurudev came back and weall started roaming about in the Ashram. I saw alarge temple in the Ashram with the photographof the saint’s mother in it.

After strolling about in the ashram for sometime, we reached the Welcome Room of theAshram, where many disciples were sitting in aqueue and waiting for Gurudev with folded

hands. Gurudev met everyone individually andprovided them with solutions of their problemseither through medication or mantra or both.This complete procedure took a lot of time andended late at night.

While returning back from the ashram, mymind was still heavy, full of confusion and loadedwith many questions. One by one, I asked for answers to the questions troubling me. I askedGurudev, “I want to know the reality behind thisrenowned saint? He is not only a great saint inthe field of spiritualism but also a great scholarof ayurveda too. Then what is the reason behindthose saints and devotees resident in his Ashram,bearing so much pain of several deadly ailments.This saint always talks about Hari in his speeches,but why does he encourage his own devotees toworship him in the form of God?”

Gurudev became very serious and explainedthe truth to me, “You yourself have seen the bitter reality. In today’s world, because of thesekinds of saints and spiritual gurus, the respectand regard in the heart of an ordinary man forsaints and gurus is decreasing day by day.” Itmade total logical sense and my mind was freefrom the burden of confusion.

“My son was suffering from fits. His bodyused to get very stiff. We had shown him to several doctors, who prescribed, scanning of hishead. We got it done from Vinay Scanning Centrein Jalandhar, where it was found that there was ahole the size of a wheat grain in the brain of myson. Doctors also prescribed medication to myson, but all efforts were in vain. He was gettingno relief. We were in a hopeless situation. A convention was scheduled in Sunam. When weheard about it we decided to attend. When Gurudev arrived at the convention, rain startedpouring heavily. Gurudev said, 'whosoever takesbath in this rain shall be freed from all his prob-lems and difficulties.' My son was also sittingunder the roof of the Pandaal. I asked him totake a bath in that rain. It is surprising to see thatsince that day, he has not had any relapse of hisrecurring fits ever again."

consulted with many doctors in Ludhiana andPatiala. But there was no relief. During the convention, when Gurudev asked me to take ashower in the rain, I was surprised the rain waterdidn’t cause me any itch or discomfort at all andmy ailments also ended once and for all. Today, Iam completely fine, thanks to the continuedhand of God and Gurudev’s divine blessings.”

Kamlesh Mittal, Dhuri

The above mentioned experiences are thoseof divine blessings where devotees got relievedof their ailments by soaking themselves in divinerain. Actually, Gurudev has relieved his devoteesthrough several methods. Bathing in this blissfulrain is one of those kinds. The incidence of theblissful rain came into the picture many times, atseveral conventions held around the world. OnceGurudev announced, unexpected, at a conven-tion held on the Police Ground, Hyderabad, thatafter completion of his meditation, it would rainheavily but would be over within 5 minutes. Atthat moment there was no sign of clouds or rainin the sky.

As predicted intuitively by Gurudev, the rainstarted pouring after some time. Gurudev againsaid, "this is not normal rain. These are drops of


92

nectar which God has sent especially for you torelieve you from your all your problems. Makeyourself free and soak yourself in this rain, Godwill bless you”.

Devotees present in the convention starteddancing happily in the rain which stopped after5 minutes.

Next day, many devotees, shared their experiences of having been delivered from theirproblems and ailments.

She had consulted many doctors, butachieved no success. At times the pain used tobe unbearable. But she was even more surprisedto hear Gurudev say that he would give her amantra which is needed to be recited twice only,to make her free from her pain. She did the same.

She was surprised that the pain deserted her. She was suffering from a very serious ailment.She was left without any hope when she got norelief from her ailment after having consultedmany doctors. But today, with the divine bless-ings of Gurudev, she is completely free from thatailment.

Mr. Ashwani shared that he first saw Gurudevon TV. “I saw Gurudev on TV Asia, and I realizedthere was something very special about him. I really liked the way Gurudev makes people understand their problems. My mother was seriously ill. According to doctors, she wouldhave had to undergo a surgery. My wife and Imet Gurudev and received the Cosmic Sound Secrets. But when I went to the doctors next,they said that my mother no longer required anysurgical treatment.

Whilst addressing the audiences of PrabhuKripa Convention in California, Gurudev said, “Iam here to give you a beautiful divine secretwhich will free you from all your miseries, andwill bring you close to God. He said, “Like in India,devotees abroad are also getting the blessingsof the Cosmic Sound Secrets”.

Gurudev said, “Like in India, Energy Centers


99


shall be constructed at several places in Americaalso. Explaining the concept of Energy Centershe said, “The Energy Centers shall be constructedwith the help of 9 metals in the form of a pyramid. Magnetic forces circulating in the pyramid shall make you free from all difficultiesand sound being produced will give you peaceof mind. Mankind shall be free from all ailmentsin these divine Energy Centers just by sittingthere for half an hour. ”

Proving the effectiveness of the cosmic science, Gurudev said, “This is a simple sciencewhich will bring you close to God. There is nodogma about divine grace. It is based on real lifeexperiences. Through this, you will be able to freeyourself from all ailments and difficulties and willlive life peacefully.”

Talking to the intellectual section of society,Gurudev said, “Once, there was a stage in my lifethat I never believed in God, but I was surprisedafter realizing the power of these secrets. I waseven more surprised when with the divine blessings of God I was able to see Him”

Gurudev said, “There is a special way to giveCosmic Sound Secrets to somebody. It is givenafter getting special permission from God. Whenthe Gurus’s instructions are followed properly


100

then these secrets start working and then withGod’s blessings all problems come to an end.They work on their own, when the Guru givesthem. There is no cheating in this science of themantras because God & Goddesses also live inthem."

Unveiling the deep secrets of humility, Gurudev explained that “Humility is the reflec-tion of one’s intelligence. Even intelligence isnothing beyond humility. He said, Lord Rama,Lord Krishna, Guru Nanak Dev are symbols of humility. He said, “When Lord Rama ate halfeaten fruits from Shabri, then even Lord Lakshman was surprised. Guru Nanak Dev was adivine saint, but even he found himself full offlaws.”

Addressing thousands of devotees in theconvention organized in Maryland, USA, Gurudev said, In Western countries in spite ofprosperity and all the facilities available, there isa touch of sadness in everyone’s life. People areliving troubled lives. Superficially they appear tobe prosperous but deep inside they feel the vacuum in their lives. He said, “After recitingthese Cosmic Sound Secrets not only will yourmental, physical and financial problems be


101


solved but you will also feel happiness withinyour hearts.”

Scientists, intellectuals and media made anote of the experiences shared at the conven-tions and came forward to volunteer services forGurudev’s noble mission to help even more people to benefit.

Mr. Rajesh Sharma from Virginia narrated hispersonal experiences. When he realized that hewas suffering from a serious heart problem andthat his heart had many blockages, he was verydisheartened. Doctors had already suggestedsurgery to him for the removal of these blockages. His family admitted him to hospital.After the diagnosis by a team of 18 doctors, theycame to a conclusion that he should undergo bypass surgery on his heart. On the advice ofdoctors he was shifted to another hospital. Hewas told that after two days surgery would bedone which will last for more that ten and a half hours. When he was being taken to the Operation Theatre he started reciting CosmicSound Secrets provided by Gurudev. With Gurudev’s divine blessings he is perfectly wellnow and has got a fresh lease of life.

Manoj Saxena of Georgia said, “Few yearsafter getting married, my wife started


102

experiencing breathing problems. But she wasnot getting relief even after getting treatmentfrom various places. I was surprised to see an improvement in her health after receiving Cosmic Sound Secrets from Gurudev. Today sheis perfectly alright and keeping good health.”

A Sea cruise to Malaysia, Thailand andSingapore was held during the 23rd to the 27thof November 2008. Divine blessings flowed inabundance. The whole journey was acombination of splendid arrangements andmodern technology. This Dukh Nivaran Samgamwas held at a very different level. It was the firsttime when Param Pujya Gurdev ji, was giving hisblessings on a sea cruise. Many devotees fromIndia and abroad were exposed to the truth thatthese divine secrets could only be given whilstbeing on sea waters.

It was a historic event, because it was the firsttime when Gurudev gave blessings of the DivineBeej Mantra amidst the ocean. The heritage ofour ancient Indian culture and recognition ofGurudev’s International standing in society wasreflected in this Samagam. Devotees who camefrom overseas and had a practical bent of mind,had much curiosity in their hearts, and with anaim to quench their curiosity, they had a longdiscussion with Gurudev ji on several such topics.Their urge to know the secrets behind this divinesaint was clearly visible in their eyes. Gurudevalso satisfied their doubts and confusions, withscientific proofs and made them understand thedivine secrets backed with scientific analysis


104

reports. Devotees from overseas were amazedwhen spiritualism was seamlessly blended withscience. They actually bowed down andaccepted Gurudev as their “Swami ji”.

As soon as the news was telecast thatGurudev ji was going for his first Malaysia,Thailand and Singapore sea tour on cruise,devotees started their bookings to become apart of this Maha Samagam. Everyone had onlyone desire to sail through the oceans withGurudev and to get his divine blessings.Devotees came from America, Canada, England,Saudi Arabia, Germany, Singapore, Malaysia,Thailand and from several other countriesabroad. Everyone looked happy and satisfied. Noone actually believed their luck that they weresailing along with Gurudev on board, andGurudev personally came to individuals and toeveryone’s dining table himself and had aconversation with them. One couple fromabroad was not able to believe that Gurudev jiwas sitting along with them. They got Blessingsof Divya Beej Mantra and were full of regards forGurudev.

It was also a historic and memorable event forthe sevadars of Bhagwan Shree Lakshmi NarayanDham. It was a long awaited dream come true.

26A Unique

‘Dukh Nivaran’

Samagam in aCruise


They all felt the divine presence of Gurudev. Astage also came where sevadars were not able tocontrol their emotions and started crying withhappiness when Gurudev ji met them on anindividual basis. Sevadars started sharing theirexperiences among themselves and startedtelling each other that today they had a Darshanof Lord Narayan in the form of Gurudev ji.

Addressing the devotees on the cruise,Gurudev ji said, “With the blessings of God, I amgiving you unique secrets of religion , money andsalvation which I haven’t given to anyone ever, inany of the Samagams. I have only given anindication of them in Samgams but never giventhem anywhere, so far.

Gurudev ji said, “There are some basicelements: Air, Water, Sun, Earth, Fire, Sky. It is verydifficult to understand the complexity of the skyand it is impossible to understand the sunbecause of its heat. Therefore according to Holyscriptures these secrets can be exposed only inthe water. It was given by Lord Narayan whilesitting in water only. It was given by Lord Shivato Goddess Parvati, Lord Krishna to Shri Arjun,Lord Rama got it from Maharishi Varishtha. Thissecret is owned by Lord Shiva who locked thissecret to avoid any misuse. It is said about this


106

secret, that Lord Shiva had once said, that “Iswear that a person who is going to receive thissecret shall remain free from all the sinsirrespective of whatever he does or eats.”

Gurudev ji also threw light on the rules forobtaining this secret that, whosoever is going toreceive it shall always remain Satyam ShivamSundaram. To elaborate it further, Gurudev ji said,“The person who is going to get this secret shallalways speak beautifully and only the truth”

Gurudev ji also addressed those scientificallyinclined, by telling them that today science hasalso started acknowledging the presence of Godand Divine presence of Super Natural powers. Allthe problems can be solved by the daily recitalof this Paath. Today it is being followedworldwide, because they have understood itspower.

Gurudev ji says that, “We should protectourselves from getting carried away bysentiments and emotion. We should only believein the truth based on evidence. Divya BeejMantras are also based on evidence. This divinesecret is not a miracle or nor fake. It has beenproven in India and overseas”. Gurudev ji saidvery clearly, “you don’t need to change youreating habits and lifestyle for this Paath. There


107


are no rules and regulations applicable for thisPaath. You can simply do Paath without bringingany change in your lifestyle and eating habits.” Tosatisfy a query asked by a lady, Gurudev said, “Inthe case of any ailment, you continue takingmedicine prescribed by the doctor. It is veryimportant to go with your Doctor’s advice. I willonly say that you keep reciting this Beej Mantrasalong with your Doctor’s advice. Param PujyaGurudev ji said, “After some time, your medicinewill get stopped automatically and you will behealthy again.”

The Samagam held on the cruise was notonly a milestone in the history of spiritualism butalso a phase of immense, joyous happiness,ambience and a sense of elation. As the Star Librabegan to steer clear in the sea, the satisfactionand happiness in the hearts of devotees was alsoscaling new heights.

One November night in the middle of winterin the year 2005, Gurudev called meunexpectedly. He informed me that we were toleave for a village in Rajasthan the very next day.Arun Govil, was to accompany us all too.

Upon querying Gurudev further, I learnt thatthe village was still underdeveloped despite thefact that three decades had flown by sinceGurudev had left the village. The progress sincethen was at a virtual standstill. Living conditionshad worsened considerably, and were at an alltime low. The roads, houses, infrastructure, tradewas negligible, if at all.

Gurudev narrated to us, that when he lastlived in Hanumangarh, his family membersconsisted of his mother, two younger brothersand four younger sisters. The sole responsibilityof providing for them all rested on his shoulders,at the time, being the family’s eldest child.

The family was provided for, by Gurudev’ssalary. He worked with an Ayurvedic Doctor andjust about managed enough for their needs.

Gurudev then recalled how one fine day hisown Guru mysteriously, but in all seriousness,calmly told him to sit in any train, from anystation. He further elaborated saying, “Regardlessof which train or station you choose to be in,


116

wherever the train stops first, that is where youmust get off. Just settle down in that place, andstart your life there, afresh.”

Gurudev followed his guru’s commandwithout a question or doubt.

He soon left for an unknown destination andan unknown future ahead, with nothing morethan a resolve to follow his Guru’s command assoon as feasible, at the very earliest.

Gurudev’s train chugged on gatheringmomentum and sped along the tracks, hastily.After some unknown length of time, the trainsuddenly and unexpectedly came to a grindinghalt, without any comprehensible reason, in themiddle of nowhere in particular.

Intuitively, Gurudev quickly alighted from thetrain before it resumed its journey. He discovereda village not too distant from where he got offthe train. The village of Bukhrakha now becamehis new home for many years to come. He set upa clinic there and gradually established his newpractise, very successfully.

Our entourage of cars travelled from Delhito Bukhrakha village, transiting through thetowns of Rohtak, Hissar, Hansi and various othersmaller towns.

The state of affairs in Bukhrakha was


117

27

TheStory of a Village


appalling. Nothing had changed at all, sinceGurudev lived there last. The streets were

In a state of disrepair and riddled withtrenches, bumps and ditches and with greatdifficulty we managed the rough drive throughthose roads.

Curiosity reigned, and the villagers passingby, came out to admire Gurudev ji’s magnificentcar. Many residents came out of their homes toobserve the scene of visitors passing throughtheir village. At one point, Gurudev’s car gotstuck in a muddy puddle.

There was no other option, till this was sortedout and Gurudev chose to come out of the car. Alarge crowd had gathered as the word spreadthat Gurudev the Ayurvedic Doctor was visitingthe village after a long lapse of time. The villagersflocked from far and wide, as the whispersamongst the crowd grew into a commotion.

The crowd became unruly as the excitementof seeing their previous village Doctor grew.People clamoured to see him and get a closerlook at him. Gurudev met them warmly andembraced everyone who met him. It was a raresentimental, nostalgic moment for all of them,down memory lane. Although their eyes weremoist with tears of Joy, they sparkled brightly


118

and emanated tremendous joy and happinessand an inner sense of elation visible on theirhappy faces, which glowed with radiance at thiswonderful surprise visit from Gurudev.

Twilight reminded Gurudev of the impendingwinter night ahead. He decided to reside at afriend’s home overnight, with us in tow.

We later discovered that night that the housewas in a state of dilapidation if not completely inruins.

Celebrating his arrival, a Jaagran (All nightmeditation) dedicated to Maa Bhagvati wasorganised by the village. Late into the night asthe Jagran was in full swing, gradually but surelyeveryone entered into calm, natural, peacefulstate of deep meditative sleep.

Next morning, whilst we were still drowsybut in a state of blissful peace, Gurudevinformed us we had to leave shortly.

After the formal goodbyes to everyone weleft to continue our journey, which includedsightseeing of the village too.

We also visited the house Gurudev lived infor seven years.

Surveying the visible signs of dire poverty allaround my mind raced ahead as I begun towonder within me as to how Gurudev could


119


have ever spent seven years in such a backwardplace devoid of even basic human amenities.

We spoke to numerous people in the villagewho stated without hesitation that they knewnot what miraculous powers Gurudev jipossessed, but said that “ whatever medicine hegave us would always without exception, cure uscompletely.” They stated that he never chargedthem anything and happily accepted whateverlittle they gave him. There were others who neverpaid or could not afford the treatment ormedicines. We talked to many people present inthe crowd there. They told us “Who knows whatkind of miraculous powers doctor ji possessed,but whatever medicine he gave would cure uscompletely. He never asked for any money, hehappily accepted whatever we gave him. Manya time we didn’t give Doctorji anything, but hestill never complained”

On our way back, we walked for sometime ata place, where there were virtually no people.Gurudev came across a Samadhi (Grave) andstopped there. He bowed down in front of theSamadhi with full reverence and devotion. Heperformed prayers at the spot, on the site of thegrave. He followed all the correct rites and rituals.

He enlightened us to the fact that it was the


120

Samadhi of the great saint Kalaee Nath ji. He hadbestowed Gurudev with some extraordinary andmysterious powers.

We spent some time there in deference toGurudev’s wishes and then continued with ourreturn journey homewards and were soonbeyond the parameters of the village border.


121


In the year 2004 in January a Dukh NivaranSamagam was being held in the huge opengrounds behind Govind Deviji temple in Jaipur.Several well known personalities came fromvarious states of India and others flew over fromabroad to attend this important event as theywanted to receive the Divine beej mantras fromGurudev. On the inaugural day of the Samagam,Gurudev presented everyone with a divinecleansing mantra.

The next day a local paper ran a story abouthow the scriptures state that if you do not chanta mantra in the proper manner, or pronounce itcorrectly, you do not receive any benefits.Brhmarishi Shree Kumar Swami ji’s pronunciationis completely incorrect, so how can the divinemantras bear any fruit if they are given by him?He is confusing and misguiding people. There isno benefit from the mantras if you arepronouncing them incorrectly.

I informed Gurudev about the story the NewsPaper published. Gurudev did not answer andremained quiet.

In the Samagam, during his talk,Gurudevmentioned the newspaper story and very calmlystated matter of factly, that in the paper that day,the story that had been printed through a


122

respected person was true. “My pronunciation”he said “is absolutely incorrect, but what can Iquestion about God’s greatness? God hears myincorrect pronunciation of the mantras, andimmediately bestows his Grace. These greatpeople pronounce the mantras correctly, and arecalling the Lord, but God does not listen to them.So you tell me, what is my fault?”


123

Divine Communication,

Perfect Rapport


In the February of 2008, the Samagam inVairawal, Gujarat had just ended and plans weremade to go to Dwaraka. Gurudev arrived inDwaraka with some voluntary workers. Aftervisiting all the temples there, we decided tospend the night in a hotel.

Next morning we were preparing to leaveDwaraka and were waiting for Gurudev to arrive,in the reception area. Unexpectedly a foreigncouple came near me, and started speaking inEnglish which was far from perfect. They saidthey had come from Spain, and they (they werehusband and wife) didn't know much English.They wanted to meet Gurudev and ask him somequestions about the supreme spirit.

I thought to myself that these people don’tknow English nor Hindi and can onlycommunicate in Spanish. Then how can theyhave a conversation with Gurudev? How canthey ask questions or comprehend the answersto those questions?

In this confused state, I met Gurudev andtold him about the Spanish couple’s request tomeet him. Gurudev recited the divine mantrasfor a few seconds and told me to welcome themwith respect, and bring them in to see him.

I did exactly what Gurudev told me. During


124

this time there were two other volunteers inGurudev’s room. Gurudev indicated that weshould all leave the room. We obeyed hiscommand. After approximately an hour, theforeign couple came out of Gurudev’s room.Their faces revealed that they were happy andsatisfied. In broken English they conveyed thatthey were extremely fortunate to have aconversation with Gurudev, and that all theirquestions were answered in a very simple,humble and unassuming manner. They werecompletely satiated and relaxed contentedlyafter having conversed with him during theirmeeting. I started wondering to myself how hewould have communicated with them? I alsowondered to myself as to how he would manageto satisfy their quest for their spiritual querieswithout knowing their mother tongue. Wouldtheir questions be answered that day? An houror so later, Gurudev came out of his roomafterbidding farewell to the foreign couple. Gurudevcame out of his room whilst I was still reflectingon the couple’s meeting with Gurudev and we alldeparted for Dwaraka.


125

29Gurudev’s

ExtraordinaryGift and

Knowledge ofLanguages


Gurudev can intuitively pick up ourthoughts and interpret our smallest emotions.He then subtly reminds us how we could elevateourself to greater spiritual heights by risinghigher spiritually and over come our mundaneworldly desires.

during the occasion of The Atlantasamagam in America, Gurudev was in his hotelroom one day, when some volunteers in Americahad presented me with some gifts. I took all thegifts to Gurudev in order to get them blessed andreceive blessings from him. At that time,Gurumaa and Shri Manmohan Chotani were alsopresent in the room with him.

During our conversation, he addressed meand said “You have not shown me some gifts, andhave hidden them.” He called me a thief andcheater many times while he was talking to me.

I bowed down to him and left the room ina very disturbed state. I went back to my roomand remained in that distressed state for awhile.Afterwards, I communicated with him throughthe intercom and said “I cannot even dare tothink, that what you have said is not true, but Iknow that there must be some mystery and verygood reason in whatever you say. You know thatI do not accept any gifts without your permission


126

or blessings, so what is the mystery behind yourwords to me, and what should I do about itnow?”

Hearing this, Gurudev said “the spirituallaws are different from these worldly words andits rules. In this world, until you have not stolensome object, you will not be called a thief. In theworld of spiritual laws, it is a fact that if you thinkof stealing an object, taking that object, or evenconsider obtaining that object, you are a thief.Yesterday you went to a volunteer’s house as youwere invited by them .After seeing the beautyand magnificence of that house you becamefascinated by its splendor. After seeing an objectthere, you only had one thought about how youwished you could acquire it too. That merethought has branded you as a thief, in thespiritual world. In reality, you may not havestolen, obtained or even remotely expressedyour desire in words about possessing thatobject, but you did think about that object. Thatis the reason I called you a thief in front ofGurumaa and Chotani ji. Now you should focuson not letting any desire of an object come intoyour mind. Do not let any object affect you uponseeing it, or any situations influence yourthoughts in this manner ever again”


127

30SpiritualLaws are

Different!


In October 2003 after yet another successfulSamagam in Shimla, we were on our way back toDelhi by road. Several members of Gurudev’sfamily were with me in the car.

We went through the meandering mountainroads riddled with sharp bends and were a fewhours later finally on to an even road surface. Asthe car raced ahead, a member of Gurudev’sfamily suddenly felt very unwell and suffered asevere headache. The intensity of the pain andthe pounding effect it had on them wasunbearable. Distressed beyond control, theperson broke down into tears.

I contacted Gurudev on his mobile andinformed Gurudev about the situation, and hereplied in a calm voice, “No problem.” He said,“When you travel on, acquire a disprin and justput two pills of disprin in a glass of water, and lether drink it. She will become better in a littlewhile”

I did exactly what he told me to do, but therewas no visible improvement in the patient’shealth. When I appraised Gurudev yet againabout her situation, he repeated what he hadstated previously. He once again said “Noproblem, she will be fine in a little while.”

I implored Gurudev to help and prayed yet


128

again and said “I am absolutely sure that you canbestow your grace from wherever you are. Youdo not even need to prescribe any medicine. Youhave treated and cured many people fromvarious ailments that they could never found acure for. Then what is the reason you are notcuring your own family member”?

Gurudev answered in a serious tone saying“First of all we have to understand, who isbestowing grace? This person’s father is doingnothing. He is only a doctor, who gives medicine.Grace is only imparted by the guru. This person isremembering her daddy, not her guru.

So how can they receive grace? Tell thisperson not to remember her father, and pray tothe guru. She shall receive grace”

I told the family member what Gurudev hadtold me, and she did exactly what he said. Insome time her headache disappeared and shewere completely back to normal.

31Cosmic

Grace


This is a story set in the August of 2003.Following Gurudev’s orders, I went toKathmandu (Nepal) in connection with the DukhNivaran Samagam that was to take place there.Two other volunteers from Delhi hadaccompanied me, and it took several days toprepare for the arrangements.

One day we decided to go out and see thecity of Kathmandu. A volunteer, who was a localresident of Kathmandu, was also amongst us.

After seeing many places, we reached theNeelkanth Mahadev ji temple. In this templethere is a huge dark black colored statue of theLord Shri Narayan, who is in his Ksheer Sagarresidence, and is seated on Sheshnaag. As I keptlooking at this statue, my eyes started closing,and I was transported mentally into anotherworld. Tears welled up in my eyes, as I slowly satdown on the ground there. I was experiencingthe divine nectar of supreme happiness, and I satin this state for quite some time and had nodesire whatsoever to get up.

The volunteers came near me and told me toleave immediately since twilight reminded usthat the night’s impending darkness wascreeping upon us. I resisted my desire to lingeron and got up to go, but my body was not in


130

synch with my resolve to leave. From there wewent to the Pashupati Nath temple. After havinga darshan of the Lord, we were climbing downthe stairs that lead us out of the temple. As wewere climbing down, I felt as if some unknownforce was pulling me downwards like a magnet.It was very difficult for me to climb down thestairs, so I sat down on one of the steps. My eyesstarted closing, as tears clouded my eyes andflowed uncontrollably. I kept on muttering tomyself, “My lord, my lord”, I repeated. I was withinme, in silence, experiencing the divine state ofsupreme happiness.

A volunteer told me that we must prepare toleave the place. I involuntarily replied “You cango. I am not going to leave this place. I havereached my spiritual destination and I am goingto remain here and never want to leave.

Upon hearing this, the volunteer asked me asto what would become of my family if I did notreturn. I responded by saying “I have lefteveryone, and the Lord will take care of them.From now on, this will be my home,” I concludeddecisively. The volunteer then, almost literallyhad no choice but to drag me into the car. Eventhen my eyes were closed, and I crieduncontrollably. When we reached the place

where we were staying, I lay down on my bed inan unconscious state and slowly but surely, Ientered into a state of deep sleep.

The next day there was a special pooja beingperformed in the Pashupati Nath temple. Wearrived at the temple in the morning, and wentto meet the main priest, whose house wassituated near the main temple. He welcomed uswith great warmth and love, and we startedtalking about the great power of the ancientscriptures. During this time, I felt as if I wasentering into that divine state once again. Myeyes were closing, with drowsiness and tearswere flowing uninhibitedly. With great difficulty,I pulled myself out of this divine state into thereality of the present.

We started going towards the main temple toperform the special pooja. After performing thepooja (Prayers) properly, I was climbing down thewhite marble stairs of the main temple. I realizedan unknown power was preventing me, withouteffort, and I sat down right there. I slowly enteredthe previous state of supreme happiness, andwith my eyes closed, cried inconsolably. I wastaken to the car in this state and dropped off atthe location we were staying in. I felt as if I hadbecome severely intoxicated.


132

It was afternoon by this time, and I was stilllying on my bed in an unconscious state.

The next day in the morning, my eyes openedbut the state of divine ecstasy was stilloverpowering me.

After finishing our preparations andarrangements for the Samagam in Kathmanduto come, we left for Delhi.

Some days later, it was time for theKathmandu Samagam. Gurudev stayed in avolunteer’s house, and according to Gurudev’swishes I stayed in this house as well.

The first day of the Samagam had passed,and it was the morning of the second day.Gurudev was meditating in his room. Somevolunteers came to me and insisted that I pray toGurudev. They wanted me to ask him to go to thePashupati Nath temple. I promised them that Iwould pray and convey their wishes to Gurudev,and said goodbye to them.

After Gurudev had finished his meditation, Iwent to his room. At that time Gurumaa wasmaking tea for Gurudev. Gurudev was recitingthe divine beej mantras, and hinted for me to sitdown.

After performing the beautiful ritual ofdrinking tea, Gurudev asked me in a soft voice


133


“What do you want to say?” I told Gurudev aboutthe local volunteers wishes. Gurudev said “Yourecite your divine beej mantras, I will tell you in alittle while from now.” After hearing his orders, Ibowed to him and left his room and came tomine. I sat in the drawing room, located outsideboth rooms and started reciting the beejmantras.

In a little while, I entered that supreme stateof divine happiness, and tears started flowingcelebrating the joy within.

In this state, I went to Gurudev’s room and fellat his feet and started crying uncontrollably. Iremained in this state for a while, and afterwardsI got up slowly. Gurudev asked me very softly,but in a serious tone. “Do you want to go to thePashupati Nath ji now? I answered “What reasondo I have, to go there now? You have bestowedyour grace upon me here itself !” He laughed

In the medical disciplines it is anestablished material fact that a person allergic toa particular item should avoid any oral orphysical contact with it. It is considered prudentto take precautions and protect oneself fromallergy to dust mites, almonds or other nuts,flowers, vegetables, food items or plants byabstaining from their consumption or coming incontact with them. Generally, it is believed that ifa person is allergic to a particular thing, theperson should remain away from this object. Forexample, if someone is allergic to dust, almonds,or some particular vegetable, the person avoidsthese items. It is rare to hear that one is cured bythe very item one is allergic to with the exceptionof the principles of Homeopathy which is basedon the principles of “like cures like” as believedby its founder Samuel Hahnemann and practicedwidely.

During the spring of April 2006, at Shree DeviTalaab Mandir in Jalandhar, His Holiness Gurudevthrough his gift of Cosmic Grace healedsomeone at a Samagam convened in his honourand cured his allergy.

The Temple's president, Mr. Sheetal Vij, areputable industrialist in his own right and other


135

33An Allergy to a Flower isEradicated byCosmic Grace


officials were there. Gurudev was invited as theHonoured Chief Guest on the occasion of RamNavmi festival celebrations.

On the first day hundreds of thousands ofpeople, thronged the streets and participated ina Grand Yatra in Jalandhar, where they receivedGurudev's blessings.

The next day, the Prabhu Kripa Dukh NivaranSamagam was organized on the temple grounds,and the following day a special program wasarranged where people would have theopportunity to experience the uniquephenomenon of the divine gift of cosmic grace.

After the special program of impartingCosmic Grace was completed, Gurudev startedblessing the head officials of the templecommittee at their request. He presentedeveryone with a garland of flowers, which was aform of his blessing. As he was presenting thisgarland to the committee’s GeneralSecretaryShree Rajesh Vij, he quickly steppedback but with humility requested Gurudev notto give him the garland as he was allergic toflowers. “I cannot take this” he implored, quitepetrified of yet another allergic reaction.” Even ifI touch this, my entire body will have animmediate and devastating allergic reaction.”


136

Upon hearing this, Gurudev smiled and said“Should I heal you now?” Shree Vij lookedsurprised but was quick to react very positivelyin full faith and gladly said “Please bestow yourGrace upon me.”

Gurudev took one flower out of the garland,took a match from an official, and burned a littlepart of a flower. During this time, he had his eyesclosed and was repeating the divine CosmicPrayers. He repeated the prayers for some time,and then handed over the flower to Shree Weejand said “Keep this in your hand.”

Shree Vij became apprehensive once againand hesitated, repeating his earlier concern. “Bydoing this my situation will become extremelyserious.” Gurudev replied “That won't happen.You will be completely cured in a little while.”Following Gurudev's command, Shree Vij tookthe flower in his hand. Minutes flew by, but hehad no allergic reaction. All the head officials ofthe temple committee were observing thisbaffled, but amazed.

While Gurudev garlanded Shree Vij, he said“Now you are completely free from your allergy.”

Later Shree Vij said “Due to this allergy, I used


137


to get red bumps everywhere on my body. Myentire body itched terribly, and I went to manydoctors in the hope of finding a cure for thisallergy. I also went to ayurvedic and othermedical doctors, but all I ever encountered was disappointment everywhere. Now I amcompletely cured due to Gurudev's grace.”


138

Scientists Globally have expressed greatastonishment and whilst being apprehensiveabout Cosmic Grace or the Divine mysterybehind it, are finding the material facts and themounting evidence hard to deny, despite thefact that they are still having difficulty finding thewhole idea credulous enough to declare it asnormal or even scientifically possible. It is liketreading into the domain of the unknown andwhat is not easily understood generally isassociated with something to be feared.

Scientists, Doctors, Surgeons and otherintellectuals who have personally witnessed,experienced or examined the evidence of theextraordinary power of the effect of the CosmicGrace in healing people from diseases whichwere declared incurable by the medical science,remain baffled as to how a simple proceduresuch as a repeat of the mystical sound science ofCosmic Grace alone can achieve life-changingresults. Time and again these professionals havechallenged the source and the end resultsachieved. Yet, these very people have bothpublically and privately marvelled at theunquestionable medical reports held on recordof those relieved from their suffering and longstanding ailments inexplicably.

34Cosmic GraceTriumphs OverScientific Disciplines


Doubt invariably raises its ugly head now andagain. It actually appears in the form of somesporadic incident which reminds us that thesuspicion and hostility which a minority holdhas’nt blown away for ever. It manifests itself inthe guise of an odd hostile individual or anorganization which never understood themission of the selfless service to humanity thatGurudev stands for in the first place. Regardlessof how many times this happens, almostinvariably the truth reigns supreme and goodsense and wisdom prevail, backed by evidence.

During a Dukh Nivaran Samagam held in2004 in Haridwaar, a local newspaper ran anadvertisement condemning the science ofCosmic sounds as fake and unworthy of theimportance it is being given. Commenting onthe advertisement Gurudev made a publicannouncement saying that “Whosoever believesthat to be the case, is sincerely invited and is verywelcome to come to the Samagam in theaudience and question him directly on anysubject related to their doubts and he furtherstated that he would continue to answer everysingle question of the individual till he, is finallycontent with the answers and fully satisfied.”

Upon hearing Gurudev announce the open


140

invitation there was a considerable commotionamongst wellwishers, devotees and otherimportant members of society and Governmentpresent there. Some started hailing Gurudevaloud. Gurudev then announced that he wasaware that the person placing the advertisementwas present in the audience.

Once again, he invited him to come forwardand identify himself, further saying, that “Theperson can come forward without any fearwhatsoever and ask me any questions directly. Ivow that today and in the future too he hasnothing to lose and he will be welcomed with agarland of flowers.” No one came forward. Theindividual chose to keep silent and remainanonymous.

Gurudev then replied every point of concernand doubt raised in the newspaper himself , viaan advertisement in the same paper, not onlyreplying the doubts highlighted and raised butbacked each allegation with material facts andevidence held on record.

Likewise, in the August of 2005 at a Samagamheld in Birmingham UK, in one of the largestconvention centres in not only United Kingdom,but also Europe. Another incident illustrates howanother advertisement placed by some


141


unknown hostile elements , challenged anyoneto produce proofs of having benefitted byreciting the sound science grace techniques. Acash reward of pounds sixteen thousand wasoffered to any such person producing suchrecords. During the course of the samagamGurudev gave an open challenge stating that“Why one? Thousands of records and proofs areready and can be offered by him.” Under hisdirection several devotees, ladies and gentlemenalike publically spoke about the benefits of thedivine science of Cosmic Grace with dates, casehistories and details of their problems, illnessesand how they achieved freedom from theirdistress, suffering , mental tensions ,physicalailments etc. So huge was the turnout of thosewilling to stand up and publically state theirindividual benefits that the anonymous personor institution offering the reward once againquietly faded into anonymous oblivion.

April 2008 in Sunam, Punjab, and also in May2009 in Barnala,Punjab Samagams somethingsimilar occurred.

An organization declared the DivineSamagams a farce and offered a reward of Rs 25,000 to anyone producing genuine evidence of arecord of their benefits achieved.


142

On the second day of the samagam, Gurudevasked the audience of hundreds of thousands ofpeople to raise their hands if they had benefittedfrom the science of sound and Cosmic Grace.Thousands upon thousands in the crowds raisedtheir hand. Despite this overwhelming evidencethe organization or its members did not identifythemselves.

In March 2006 in Verawal, followed by one inSurat, both in the state of Gujrat , an article in thelocal paper appeared declaring the divinemysteries of cosmic sound techniques as a hoaxand was an attempt they stated to play withpeople’s emotions and mislead them . Despitebeing invited to come forward during thesamagam, they failed to do so. Gurudev directedme to make contact with the Organisation’s chiefexecutive or chairperson. Despite my repeatedefforts to invite them to communicate openly,face to face, they consistently avoided comingforward or making contact after the earlierallegation. My efforts continued and I invited himto the next samagam in Surat, and asked thechair person to come to the samagam and askGurudev any questions they wished, directly inthe presence of thousands of people.

One day, during my efforts he came on the


143


line and I invited him to the samagam in Surat. He excused himself as he was at a seminar in

Porbander. Then I closed my eyes and meditatedwithin me asking Gurudev to help me whilst Iconversed with the Chairperson at length on thebenefits of the remarkable powers of the Divinetechniques of the Sound Science.

After learning of the startling facts of cosmicgrace and its evidence and experiences recordedand held by Gurudev’s organization, he profuselyapologized on behalf of his institution andhimself for ever having opposed Gurudev’s noblemission. He also realized that his thinking andthat of his organization towards opposingGurudev’s mission and service to humanity wasnot based on accuracy of facts.

This episode too ended without any furthertrace of hostility whatsoever.

In April 2007 during the samagam held inPihova in Kurukshetra, a journalist, afterdeclaring himself to be hostile, landed up nearGurudev’s seat (aasan) on the stage. A wholeseries of people out of hundreds stood up oneby one to offer their experiences and share theircase histories with dates and facts with fellowmembers of the audience present. The journalistquietly left the stage and humbly joined the


144

members sitting on the venue’s floor amongsthundreds of thousands of people seekingCosmic Grace and Blessings. The next day,Gurudev invited the Journalist to ask him anyquestions directly and publically. The journalisthad no questions to ask and did not comeforward. The onslaught of devastatingly candidreports shared by those having benefitted by theSound Science of Cosmic Grace, of a very privateand personal nature , on day one of thesamagam, was more than enough positive proofof the powers of this mysterious Cosmic Scienceof Divine Grace.


145


In the August of 2005 His Holiness Gurudevinaugurated a new series of Samagams on aglobal platform and extended his service tohumanity on an international scale. It was thenthat a world famous Radio station and TVChannel, BBC invited Gurudev to their LondonHead office. They had planned the programmearound the topic of spirituality. The showproducer Ms. Reva and I had a discussionregarding their invitation to Gurudev, to beinterviewed. She felt that since he was one of theleading most Saints in India with devotees,disciples and well wishers worldwide thereforespirituality would be the most appropriatesubject.

I presented the proposal to Gurudev andawaited his response. He was positive aboutaccepting the proposal and suggested that hewould on the programme be able to, uponhearing a person’s voice alone, be, able to statehis suffering, and also be able to vividly describeany other problems he may have. The mostfantastic aspect of this suggestion was the factthat he would give them the solutions to theirproblems there and then. I narrated the conceptto the producers and they too were startled bythe idea. The Producer spoke to her senior


146

executives and after consultations within BBCgot the go ahead on the concept, and began toannounce the programme through their radioand TV channels.

On the 25th August 2005 at the appointedhour the live BBC phone-in programme started.Phone calls poured in from around the world.Gurudev described their problems very vividlyand effortlessly. The entire Production teamincluding the presenter Ms. Rosy, was highlyimpressed at the extraordinary powers thatGurudev seemed to be in tune and in synch with.Powers beyond the comprehension of theconscious mind.

Later the sound recordist named Ms. Sheetal,asked Gurudev to bless her, after paying herheartfelt respects to him. Gurudev told her thatfrom the past 15 years she had been sufferingfrom an incurable disease. Sheetal was stunned.Further he told her that she had kept thiscondition a secret from even friends and family.

He narrated how she had consulted doctorsin many countries besides England withoutsuccess. He requested a piece of white paper andwrote some words on it. He asked her to recitethose words both in the morning and eveningwithout a gap. He reassured her saying, "you will

soon be well and healthy again and need notworry ever again” She was both amazed andgrateful.

Ms. Reva, the TV producer, thanked him andtold us that she had interviewed celebrities manytimes in her TV career, but never before had sheexperienced the extraordinary energy andremarkable grace emanating from Gurudev’sPhone-in programme. The programme had anelectrifying effect on the viewers and listeners aseveryone was riveted with the content of thetelecast.


148

Gurudev unraveled various extraordinaryand mysterious divine techniques, approachesand systems in the pursuit of his mission to helprelieve mankind of their various problems. Thisincluded the Divine Cosmic Grace of sound,ayurvedic remedies, participation in samagams,divine music, songs immersed in spirituality,devotees elevating their state of mind to ahigher consciousness due to dancing to thedivine musical notes, as if in a state of spiritualtrance, practice of the dhayana technique in astate of supreme relaxation to connect with one’sown higher subconscious mind, receiving ofdivine messages from Gurudev in one’s sleepand blessings are just some of the methods bywhich people received healing and relief frommental, physical and other ailments. Otheraspects included the Cosmic Grace showeredwith rain which poured relentlessly during thesamagams held, and the procedure of acceptingGurudev’s word without doubt or question orprocrastinating or pondering over its merits ordemerits.

The Samagams held for delivering millions offellow human beings from all personal sufferingleaving them healthy once again whilst beingtransported to a state of happiness and joy in


149

36Unique Cosmic Experiences


their state of being for the rest of their lives, onthis planet. The unhappiness, misery andsuffering caused due to experiencing manyincurable physical conditions which wererejected as incurable, hopeless cases by doctors,surgeons, holistic practitioners, herbalists,spiritual priests, and other practitioners notmentioned here, are included in this list of thosewho these people were not fortunate enough toreceive any help from.

During the November of 2003, at a Samagamorganized in Ahemdabad, Gujrat, a gentlemanwho attended it, had come from Birmingham,UK. At one of the unique cosmic grace events hechose to narrate in public his personalexperiences of being the beneficiary of cosmicgrace, which were beyond the realms andlimitations of the comprehension of a normalhuman brain.

He narrated how when he was unemployedhis trial by fire was tested to its limits. His wifewas suffering from epileptic fits. United Kingdombeing a welfare state identifies three principalelements. First, a guarantee of minimumstandards which include a minimum income,social protection in the event of insecurity, andthe provision of best service possible. Despite


150

tight rationing of these services he wassanctioned unemployment and other socialsecurity benefits for him and his wife.

Due to her critical illness, he was able to meetboth livelihood and critical illness expenses bymonthly help from the social security office ofthe Government in UK.

During this period of time, one day, his wife’shealth declined and deteriorated rapidly,without warning.

After numerous efforts to contact Gurudev,he was finally able to make contact with him andhis call was transferred to Gurudev. Gurudev jiasked to speak to his wife. In deference to hisrequest he put his wife through to Gurudev onthe phone. For sometime, Gurudev mumbledsomething which was not audible but then hetold her, "Please get well, you are getting well,you have recovered fully and are well again."After this, abruptly, the call simply dropped. Hisamazement knew no bounds as he saw his wiferecovering and back to normal good health.Later, upon checking her medical reports shefound that her results proved negative.

Another incident which I recall was inFebruary 2008 in Verawal, Gujrat. During the time


151


of a samagam being arranged there, a scientificinstitution ridiculed the Dukh NiwaranSamagam as a fake event, the cosmic gracesound techniques as not being worthy of anynotice as they did not have an effect and theyfurther stated that the whole thing was a façadeand that the institution was playing withpeople’s emotions. They went as far as lodging areport in the local Police Station. The SHO thererepeatedly contacted me to enable him to talk toGurudev as he needed a statement from him inresponse to the allegations made against thedham and the samagams.

Initially I asked him to take my statement. Buthe refused and after his repeated and persistentqueries I presented the situation to Gurudev andasked him for a solution. He gave his consent tomeet the SHO.

Meanwhile, the SHO arrived at Gurudev’splace of residence in Verawal. He started hisinvestigation by querying for answers to thevarious allegations by the Scientific Institution.After Gurudev’s candid responses to each andevery query, the SHO began to leave after beingfully satisfied. Just before going, he humblyrequested Gurudev to be granted Cosmic Graceand Divine Blessings. Gurudev asked him to


152

show him his right foot. He then gently touchedthe sole of the foot and told him he had oedema.Oedema is a swelling caused by fluid in yourbody's tissues. It usually occurs in the feet, anklesand legs, but it can involve one’s entire body.

He said that he would heal him and free himof that problem. He closed his eyes to pray andpassed his hand over the area to be healed. Hefurther added that the SHO had a Blockage in theheart. He said he would bless him to be relievedof that risk too. Gurudev asked him to have amedical check up and told him that he would notfind any trace of any previous blockage there.Graciously, after staying on for a little more time,the SHO, soon left. A few days later, SHO calledto say, that “My oedema and heart blockage isnow cleared totally. My medical report is nowback to normal. I do not have words to expressmy feelings or my immense sense of gratitude forwhat Gurudev has done for me”.

Similarly in the summer of June 2007, in NewJersey, United States, a popular radio channelcalled EBC, Invited Gurudev for a live radiointerview, and the interview was to beconducted by the popular and renowned Dr.Shivani Nath, chairperson of Manhattan’s‘Relationship Solutions.’


153


As the interview progressed, Gurudevdiagnosed the listeners’ problems by simplylistening to their voices alone. He gave themdetailed and vivid descriptions of their exact,physical, mental and financial problems and theirsolutions, there and then. After the programmebroadcast, Dr. Nath then dipped into her purseand pulled out her institution’s brochure andrequested Gurudev to kindly bless her and tobestow the divine Cosmic Grace upon her.Gurudev read her brochure quietly and the ninetopics which it contained. These nine topicsincluded in the brochure were those that theInstitution offered solutions for. Gurudev spoketo Mrs. Nath in a very soft, low voice. “Out of thenine topics mentioned here, you are sufferingfrom eight of them. So how would you helpothers, when you are unable to help yourself?You are suffering from a lot of stress and tension.You are going through an episode of severedepression, migraine, inflammatory joint pain,domestic disharmony and also a heart problem.”After a brief silence, Gurudev spoke to Dr.Nathagain and asked her a question,“Shall I heal youand relieve you of your suffering right now?” Hestated with an unfathomable mysterious air ofsupreme but divine confidence which was not of


154

this worldly plane. Dr. Nath was quick to acceptand humbly requested that she would like toreceive Blessings and healing through CosmicGrace. Gurudev then gave her a prayer based onCosmic Sound Science. He asked her to repeat itafter him only twice. After the simple procedureof Dr. Nath repeating it twice after him, Gurudevhumbly told her that, she was now completelyhealed and well again.

The very next day at the New JerseySamagam, Dr. Nath publically expressed herextraordinary personal experience of receivingcosmic grace. She narrated how her medicalreport taken after receiving Cosmic Grace showscomplete recovery from her heart problem. Shealso felt that nearly all her problems were nowresolved. In samagams, several thousanddevotees and others present have shared theirpersonal experiences of experiencing Divinitythrough cosmic grace and the scientific effectsof Cosmic Sound Science. It came to light that byvirtue of the fact that by being present at thesamagams alone some people experienced totalrelief from their physical ,mental and financialproblems, obstacles, and a diverse range of otherproblems. It was a revelation when people whocould not ever sit still for any length of time, or


155


restrain themselves from repeatedly visiting thewashroom, which for some was several timeswithin a few hours, could actually sit there in thesamagams for up to 10-12 hours without eatingor visiting the washroom. There were otherswhose physical ailments were such that theywere in total agony due to joint and other painswrecking havoc on their body. The devoteeslearnt that some people afflicted with certainillnesses could not sit cross legged on theSamagam Venue’s Floor nor were they able to eator drink for hours considering their illnessrequired them to eat properly at appropriatetimes. The Samagams attracted a huge turn outand the number of people who attended thesesamagams were way beyond expectations aswitnessed by the truthful picture the camerasrecorded of every single samagam, where therewere hundreds of thousands of people at anygiven time, regardless of where in the world theywere held, despite notification announcingsamagams sometimes at a very short notice.Even normal people found it hard to secure aplace and sit cross legged due to the crowdspresent.

Several Devotees and attendees narratedhow their relatives friends and family who were


156

not present have also been helped and furtherbeen healed despite not having been there.

In June 2007 in New Jersey, in the UnitedStates, amongst hundreds of thousands ofsamagam attendees one day, sat an elderlycouple with their daughter. So gravely ill was thegentleman that it seemed impossible to copewith being there at all. Gurudev announced thatthe gentleman should stand up and a cushion beplaced beneath him. His wife stood up to say thathe is gravely ill and it is virtually impossible to doso. Gurudev in a soft loving voice, said they musteven with assistance and some more effort sithim up first ,then place him on the cushion. Nextday every one was stunned to note that thecouple was there again and the same gentlemansat there comfortably and normally, unlike hiscondition the day before when he was gravely ill.There was a drastic change in his health.

In June 2007 in Maryland, USA, a lady present,stood up to go home. Gurudev stopped his talkand called out to this lady and said “I know yourhusband is paralysed and you want to go hometo him. But he is sound asleep presently and byyour being here, he is being healed by cosmic


157


grace. So you should stay here for his sake. Sheobeyed him and sat down. Much later, onceagain, Gurudev called out to her and said “Youmay go home as your husband is awake now andis thirsty and needs water.” She left, soon after.

People present were amazed at the power ofthe samagam and experienced the irrefutablefact that even by just being there or attendingsamagams, their illnesses and suffering wasbeing reversed through the grace of cosmicdivinity. When divinity enters the scene, theacute limitation of words is clearly noticeable.One has to be immersed and intuned within torealize and feel this remarkable, extraordinaryforce of the power of divinity, which is puregiving, unconditionally on a spiritual planewithin the realms of reality and inner silence.


158

In August 2005 the Prabhu Kripa DukhNivaran Samagam was held in a hall, which isconsidered to be one of the most well-knownand prevalent halls amongst both Europe andAmerica. The samagam was being held in theN.E.C hall, and this news was receiving immenseattention and publicity from the media.England’s foremost newspaper, Sunday Mercuryhad written a special report about the samagam,and this story was a major topic of discussionamongst everyone. The story’s heading was “Heis bigger than Elton”, which basically saidGurudev was India’s first saint to hold a programin England’s most largest and well-known hall.This hall had held many great performances andprograms by some famous artists. Some artistswho had performed there were Elton John, KylieMinogue and George Michael, Take that, CyndiLauper, Diana Ross, Bon Jovi and Tom Jones.Amongst these people, Elton John’s has beenmost successful program held in that hall, butGurudev’s program in N.E.C was doing evenbetter than Elton’s program. The report alsoclaimed it was worth seeing the excitement ofthousands of people. It was surprising to see thegathering of people who wanted to meetGurudev privately, since the cost of meeting himwas 108 pounds. Even then people’s excitementhad not lessened.

The wild life safari located in Kenya (SouthAfrica) is considered to be the most leading andactive safari amongst the world. Specifically,“Masai Mara” is a place where you will regularlyobserve cheetahs, tigers, elephants,rhinoceroses, and thousands of dangerousanimals living and freely roaming in their naturalhabitat.

In October 2006, there were Prabhu KripaDukh Nivaran Samagams held in Nukuru,Kisumu, and Nairobi, which are cities that arelocated in Kenya. After the conclusion of theKisumu samagam, the sevites located over theretold Gurudev that travelers from all around theworld come in huge numbers to enjoy the wildlife safari. They prayed and asked Gurudev if hewould bestow his grace and allow them toorganize a trip for him. Gurudev happily agreedto fulfill their request.

The sevadars told me that the safari is locatedonly four hours away from Kisumu. It wasdecided that everyone would leave for the safariaround 10-11 am.

After receiving permission from Gurudev,everyone left for the safari around 12 o’clock. Inthis trip Gurudev revealed a wonderful new


160

dimension of his grace. En route to the safari, weobserved beautiful green lands while travelingthrough the roads of Kenya. The sevites said thatthey knew the roads very well, and they hadgone to this safari many times. They assured usthat it would not take more than four hours,which implied that we would reach the safariaround 4pm in the afternoon. They had alsomade arrangements for Gurudev and the sevitesto stay overnight in a grand hotel, which waslocated on the safari grounds.

As we were driving one of the sevite’sanswered my questions about the safari groundand said “the safari ground is a very dense andwild area. Unlike a safari, generally India’s animalhouses and all of the world’s zoos keep theirdangerous wild animals in cages. In a safari,travelers are able to observe the animals in theirnatural state as they roam about freely in thedense jungles. The travelers maintain a certaindistance, and due to the danger these animalsmay inflict on us, every measure is taken toprotect ourselves. The distinctive feature of thesafari lies in the fact that these formidable anduntamed animals are able to wander around thewild without any restraint.”

Due to God’s mysterious workings, we all gotlost during this trip. While we were told wewould reach the safari site within four hours, wehad still not reached that area by 12 o’clockmidnight. We reached the dense jungle whenthere was absolute darkness everywhere. Ilooked out of the car window and saw wildcheetahs, a herd of wild buffalos, a herd ofantelopes, and a herd of deer wandering around.After traveling some more we saw an oldbuilding, and we stopped in this place to ask fordirections.

38That Cold

Night during the Wild Life

Safari in Kenya


In this trip, the sevadars who had come fromIndia were seen extremely tensed and scared.One of the sevites started getting angry on thesevites from Kenya. They asked why such adangerous trip had been planned.

I have no idea why, but due to God’s grace Iwas thoroughly enjoying this trip. As the car wasflying through the fearful jungles, I saw the wildanimals wandering around the jungle. I saw ShriRajendra Narang, a sevadar who had also comeon this trip and said “I wish I could get out of thecar and travel through this dense darkness anddangerous jungle by foot.” It was cold andcompletely dark in the jungle, and the coldwaves of air rustling through the stillness werecausing us to shiver. Upon seeing such weatherand listening to my comment, he just smiled atme and avoided giving me an answer.

After traveling for some more time we saw aperson. It was approximately 12:30 at night atthis time. The person told us that the hotel weare supposed to stay at was nearby. Weproceeded to travel towards the hotel, andduring this time I received a phone call fromSister Suzain, who was residing in America. Sheasked me “where is Gurudev?” When I told herGurudev was in Kenya at this time, and he is in a


162

dense jungle she angrily replied, "Why Gurudevji is in Kenya? Why not in Australia, America, U.K.England now? Kenya is a very poor country." Ihumbly replied “Why can’t Gurudev come toKenya? Gurudev has made a resolution to cometo any place where there is sorrow and pain, andbestow his grace.” She angrily hung up thephone by saying “I will talk to Gurudev about thismatter and ask him why he came to Kenya?”

Anyways, in a little while we reached ourhotel, ate our dinner and slept peacefully. Thenext day we went to the safari in the morning.We were observing the wild animals from a longdistance, while they were in their natural habitatand freely roaming around. One of the sevitessaid, “Last night we were in that area where thewild animals are wandering now.”

In a little while Gurudev told everyone to sitdown and disclosed the mystery. He said “If thetrip from Kisumu is supposed to be only 4 hours,what was the reason it took us more than 12hours to reach this place? The people who livehere had assured us that they knew the path verywell, so why did they all get lost? I had createdthis leela (play) through God’s grace. I wanted tosee, how much faith do you have in God? Butyour restlessness, your worries, your anger hasgiven me my answer. Keep this point in mind forthe future, and always have full faith in God.

In June 2008 there was a Prabhu Kripa DukhNivaran Samagam held in Chicago, America at awell known Balaji temple. The samagam washeld in a large hall, and a large number of peopleattended this event. The group consisted ofmostly Indian Americans, as well as foreigners,who were doctors, educated individuals,scientists, professors etc.

The samagam has always been conducted ina way where Param Pujya Gurudev tells everyone“If you have any question, or want to inquireabout something, you can ask it now.”Gurudevapplied that rule here too. After Gurudev ha dasked that question, an Indian woman who wasabout 45 years old stood up. She said “You sayby repeating God’s name a person gains manybenefits, and our dilemmas, troubles, andworries all go away. I don’t feel this way. I havebeen worshipping God for the past 18 years, butI have received no benefits. Troubles wereinflicted upon me, and God never helped me.”

Gurudev closed his eyes and simply said“Child, the statement you made about God nevertaking care of you is not true. You have alwaysbelieved in Lord Krishna since your childhood

when you mother and father both came from thestate of Gujarat in India, where Lord Krishna isardently worshiped. Therefore your family praysto Lord Krishna and due to your parent’steachings you have also been worshipping LordKrishna since your childhood. It is a differentmatter that you do not worship God in a routinemanner. After you got married and came toChicago, you kept on following the tradition ofworshiping lord Krishna. There is a small templeof Lord Krishna that you made in your house,where you go to pray once in a while. Eventhough you don’t pray regularly, the Lord hasprotected you many times by removing yourmisfortunes and problems. This is the first timeyou have attended a samagam, but you reallydidn’t feel like coming here. You had only comehere to pass time. Let me tell you how manytimes god helped you and your husband.Recently your husband was undergoing somelegal troubles, and his business was almostfinished. He was on the verge of declaringbankruptcy but suddenly God bestowed hisgrace upon him. He unexpectedly receivedsome money, and was able to get himself out ofthe court case he was involved in. Now hisbusiness is running well. It was snowing heretwo years ago and you were in the car with yourhusband. Both of you got in a terrible caraccident causing the car to be totally wrecked.God saved you and your husband and nomisfortune fell upon you. Also about 6 years ago,God bestowed a special grace upon you whichonly you know about. No one else knows, noteven your husband. So should I tell you aboutthis?”

After hearing all of Gurudev’s words the ladyfolded her hands and started cryinguncontrollably. She said “Gurudev please forgive

me, I said all kinds of wrong things about God. Iwill never make such a mistake again.”

Gurudev said “I know you are in a lot of painright now. You have tremendous pain in yourhead, hands and feet. After going too manyplaces and receiving treatments, you havegotten no relief from this pain. If you recite thedivine beej mantras you will become perfectlyfine with God’s grace.

After this Gurudev said “God is taking care ofus at every moment. If God stops the sun fromrising, the air from moving, and stops ourbreathing, what will we be able to do? Will we bealive? We should bow down to God’s grace andthank him from the bottom of our hearts.”

In March 2006, a Prabhu Kripa Dukh NivaranSamagam was organized in Gujarat on a fieldnear the Somnath temple, which is a famoussanctuary that is known all around the world.The samagam had started and Param PujyaGurudev had taken his seat. The saint Shri SanjayPachori was singing bhajans, when suddenly Ifelt some movement going on near the stageamongst the local servadars. In a little while Iwas notified that Shri Dandi Swami, a saintknown worldwide, had come to the samagam.He had not received a formal invitation letter, butstill he decided to come to the samagam. He hadcome to the Somnath temple to have darshan ofGod, and from there he was going to comestraight to the samagam.

In a little while Dandi Swami arrived and satdown on his seat. He was welcomed properly,and he peacefully sat down beside me.

In the samagam Gurudev gave his talk andafterwards he presented everyone with thedivine beej mantras. The revered Dandi Swamialso received the divine mantras in a calm andfaithful manner. Suddenly he gave me anindication that he wanted to say something. Itook permission from Gurudev and welcomedhim warmly. He spoke in a very clear and simplemanner and said “I am unable to understandwhat Swamiji is doing, and why he is givingeveryone such rare mantras? To receive thesemantras one has to perform a long penance, andeven then a person receives these mantras withgreat difficulty! There is no doubt that thesemantras are so significant that its praises arefound in the Shri Devi Artharvasheersham,Nityashodsheekarnav, Variwasyaarahasya andShruti, along with the Atharva Veda. Thescriptures have mentioned that the powers ofLord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, Lord Mahesh, Mother

40Shri DandiSwami, theSaint KnownWorldwide IsSurprised


Lakshmi, Mother Kali, Mother Saraswati, LordKuber, Lord Indra and others reside in thesemantras. The scriptures have hidden thesemantras by breaking them into pieces andspreading them apart, which makes it almostimpossible to find these mantras. I amJagatguru Shankaracharya’s disciple. I haveserved him with utmost devotion for the past 33years, and was then able to receive a mantra thatwas disclosed by the Jagatguru himself. I onlyreceived a portion of this mantra from my guru,and he never even disclosed the password forthis mantra! So why is Swami ji giving everyonethese extraordinary mantras in such astraightforward and easy manner! I bow down tohim a countless number of times. “
