2. It happened when I was about 15-20 years back when I
was about 45. I had no practice of hiking and trekking.
But I had ventured to climb Harshchandragad along with
my students. Even though it took almost a whole day, I
somehow managed to climb it!
But the next day; when I was climbing down a rock on the
way, which was steep like a wall; without adequate
support; at a certain point; my legs began to tremble.
The 4000 ft deep valley in front of me was staring at me
as if to swallow me! There was nobody to help! i could
not ask any one to give me a hand of help; as that would
imply committing suicide with me! Ironical it may
appear; but in spite of being a person from modern
medical profession and high tech society (of which are so
proud about); there was no possibility of any help
whatsoever!
I was frozen with fear and developed cold feet! There was
nothing to hold on to. I was left completely helpless to do
anything to save my life.
3. Being totally helpless; I was forced to prepare myself for
death! I began to see that all my family and kin and kith
were to be left behind and I was to be dissolved in
nothingness! For me; nothing was to remain!
At this point suddenly a thought sprang in my mind from
the eternal source of universe i.e. NAMA! “Even if
everything perished NAMA would not perish! It would
continue to enliven the universe eternally!”
NAMASMARAN literally took charge of my being
without any control mine; over it! Soon I did not realize
how like a waft of wind; I swiftly reached the bottom of
the rock!
Was this my achievement? Was this my victory? Some
may argue that this was will power! But frankly speaking;
this “power of will” was not accessible to me at “my
will”! I was miserably helpless!
This incidence highlights the supremacy of NAMA in
universe and in our otherwise mortal and feeble life! This
is an example of the victory of omnipresent, omniscient
and omnipotent NAMA; which I call NAMAVIJAY!
