It is virtually impossible to describe Brahm Rishi Kumar Swami ji in
words and bind him within a limitation. No matter, what is said about
him words are limiting. His‘Maha kripayein’or gifts of Divine Names and
Cosmic Grace, which he so generously bestows on his devotees are as
deep as an ocean whose shores reach worldwide touching & lighting
the hearts, minds of millions.
Gurudev’s cosmic divinity is way beyond comprehension of mankind
at a worldly level. His celestial words and actions are beyond the
ordinary and extend in the realms of the incomprehensible divine
mysteries perhaps never to be completely understood.The magnificent
extraordinary divine cosmic Grace’s effects have been personally
experienced by millions and witnessed by people from countries around
the globe and by people from diverse cultures, religions, faiths, colors,
castes, creeds and countries. People of different levels of spiritual
elevation, besides those in transition, through their spiritual journeys
and different levels of progressions have benefited from being
empowered by the effects of Cosmic Grace.
The powerful mystical experiences and spiritual dimensions are
unique to Kumar Swami Brahm rishi ji whom we reverently call Gurudev.
Gurudev is totally devoid of any ego and his persona exudes humility
and divine Grace. His Holiness’s entire existence is dedicated and
immersed in service to mankind selflessly.
Gurudev’s contribution to humanity is exemplary. As a signature
brand emanating from India. His mystical sound secrets called‘Cosmic
Grace’are possibly the most immeasurable treasure gifted to mankind
to empower them with Health, Wealth and higher dimensional
knowledge and learning. The color of the spiritual ink of this signature
is such that the Indian.’Sanatan Maryada’or intrinsic moral, spiritual and
dharmic laws universally applicable have been acclaimed and
recognized worldwide as the mounting record of Miraculous recoveries
made by people worldwide backed by irrefutable medical records of
complete reversal of incurable medical conditions continues to stack
up, unabated.
Understanding the mysteries behind Gurudev’s generous
distribution of the ‘Beej Mantra’ or the divine Sound secrets of Cosmic
Grace is beyond the horizons of the capabilities of the human mind .The
intrinsic moral & spiritual laws which come into divine play when people
experience the power of the‘Beej Mantras’in their lives, is inexplicable.
Their lives are changed forever. The power of the Mantras is so
devastatingly and profoundly life changing, that its effects are nothing
short of a miracle.
It is only after experiencing and being entrenched in the abundance
and color his Grace , Blessings and gifts that we begin to be imbibed
with a renewed courage and vision to attempt to see with greater clarity
the value and extent of our own empowerment. His pleasant nature,
simple personality, and unassumingly humble demeanor belies the
treasure trove of deeply mysterious and enormously important divine
secrets he holds within. This Universal Saint is on a mission to relieve
humanity of its sufferings on this planet at a time its wonderful people
need help most, be it financially, mentally or from physical ailments to
wipe out their problems to make way for life’s higher purpose in order
to communicate with God without being distracted by worldly
obstacles in the path of their spiritual journey.
This book is the result of repeated requests by spiritual seekers of
higher knowledge and those aware of my having spent several years in
close contact with Gurudev whilst traveling with him and attending
several‘Dukh Nivaran Samagams’or public audiences all over the world
and within different states of India. The version in your hands is a
compilation of independent and various other experiences and
narratives from a personal, limited comprehension and view point.
Words will not do justice to the larger than life factual reality of this
Mystic saint of the 21st century.
It is merely an effort to present some glimpses from my personal
journey back into memory lane and time, captured forever in my
subconscious and conscious mind as sacrosanct, priceless and
irreversible asset which has enriched my life forever until God wills.
I share this humble offering with all those searching for the light and
love that God is.
In translating this book I would heartfelt thank Dr. Jaslien Singh and
Vijayalaxmi Radkar (Vijoo), and Mr. Sanjay Bharti for the beautiful art
work and hope and pray they are blessed by God forever and receive
from Sadguru the Blessings and gifts for their sincere contribution.

Divine inspiration and a spiritual insight led
us to conceptualize and initiate a project to
create a TV show based on ‘Spiritualism and
Ayurveda’, which would be unique and extra-
ordinary. After exhaustive discussions with a
senior executive of an internationally renowned
TV Channel, we began our search for a
contemporary, spiritually elevated mystic,
revered internationally - who could nourish,
inspire and influence mankind spiritually. We
were searching for a divine being who could alter
human destinies and give people freedom from
their sufferings cure them from innumerable
diseases, both mental and physical.
After fine tuning our concept, I presented the
proposal to Gurudev, who unassumingly queried
as to what the proposed show would be based
on, besides wanting to know the content and
guidelines along which the show would unfold.
I narrated him the concept, the procedures, and
content planned for filming. “We will discuss
various common and serious diseases in detail,
whilst you will respond by throwing light about
the corresponding cures for the same in
Ayurveda.”
Gurudev expressed desire to reflect
introspectively on the proposal. And days flew
Experiencing Divinity

by, as I waited in vain, for Gurudev to revert back
to me.
Then, one fine day, Gurudev called me and
said,“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 phone
switched off.
I waited patiently, despite the uncertainty.
Around 3 o’clock in the afternoon, I received a
call from Gurudev. He asked me to see him at the
Iskcon Temple. I hurried to make my way to the
Iskcon Temple and finally met Gurudev.
Together, we proceeded to Yamuna Ghat. At
the 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. The
boatman was promised he would be paid and
compensated accordingly for his time, by
Gurudev.
For almost three hours, we were sitting in a
boat and enjoying the ride in River Yamuna. But
Gurudev didn’t talk about the proposal. After
stepping down from the boat, Gurudev said, “I
want to stay inVrindavan for some work, you can

Experience

go back to Delhi. We will discuss the proposal in
detail, in Delhi”.
Next day, in Delhi, Gurudev asked me to
come to his residence. He asked me, what the
title of the show would be. “Have you given it a
thought yet?” I then responded by proposing,
“Ayurveda and Us”, “ Ayurveda & Mankind” or
“Secrets of Ayurveda”. But Gurudev rejected all
the titles proposed by me and chose “Secrets of
Ayurvigyan”.
After reflecting introspectively, Gurudev said,
“To make the show more unique and interesting,
I will look at the photograph of the applicant and
give a complete diagnosis of the disease
from which he is suffering and prescribe the
treatment.”
I was stunned. My practical, intellectual mind
questioned as to how that could be possible? It
would be a scandal to telecast the wrong
examination and diagnosis of the patient on an
internationally telecastTV channel.To me, it was
a frightening prospect. My mind mentally raced
ahead surmising the enormity of the risk and
potentially devastating consequences for theTV
Channel.
Reading my thoughts Gurudev calmly
assured me by saying“You plan the concept the
Experiencing Divinity
10
way I am asking you to. If you are still not
convinced, then we will accede to your channel’s
wishes.”
Finally, the guidelines, concept and content
were developed according to his suggestions.
With the aim of making the show authentic from
every aspect, a well known astrologer was also
engaged. It was decided that Gurudev will
glance at a photograph and throw light on the
ailments the applicant was suffering from and
after the detailed diagnosis by Gurudev, the
astrologer would verify it on the basis of an
astrological chart of the applicant. Gurudev
would then discuss the solution, through which
the applicant could be cured of those ailments.
In the initial episodes of the show, I
forwarded the photographs of my family
members, friends and relatives. To my
amazement Gurudev revealed the precise
intimate details of my family members. He
revealed facts which I had never ever discussed
with him before. “Secrets of Ayurvigyan” started
being televised regularly. Along with it began my
journey of divine spiritual experiences, with
Gurudev. It was a life transforming spiritual
journey full of divine and mystical revelations
and a positive spiritual evolution from there on.

As the filming of the ‘Secrets of Ayurvigyan’
progressed, my experiences and understanding
of Gurudev‘s divine presence and mystic powers
started to escalate to unimaginable heights.
Whilst shooting the 7th episode, I presented
Gurudev photograph of a young man, received
from Kota (Rajasthan). Nonplussed, Gurudev
simply replied, “What do you want to know
about a dead man? He died two years back.”
I was amazed and dumbstruck.The revelation
shook me to the core of my being. I then tried to
verify and authenticate the material facts of that
revelation by enquiring about the young man
from the sender of the photograph.
The results of my enquiry astounded me.The
young man had indeed passed away two years
ago. My naive mind still wondered how Gurudev
ever came to know!
I concluded it was perhaps a glimpse into
extra-sensory perception, experienced through
Gurudev, beyond the realms of the logical mind.
This was only the beginning.

Sometime later, during the filming of the
initial episodes of the show, I placed the
photograph of one Rishi Kumar Verma, in front
of Gurudev. After looking at the photograph,
Gurudev said, “This photograph was taken 15
years back. At that time he was absolutely
healthy & had no ailments. But I can say that now,
he is suffering from heart disease."
Surprisingly, Rishi KumarVerma was suffering
from serious heart disease and was already
admitted into a private nursing home at that
time.

As the filming of the show ‘Secrets of
Ayurvigyan’ advanced, my mystical experiences
unexpectedly began to escalate and took me
to realms beyond my logical comprehension and
existing 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 filming
ended, Gurudev surprised me by coming up to
me suddenly, and said,
“Leave the premises along with your team
immediately. Swami ji, has arrived. He is sitting in
the next room. He will leave this place if you
don’t move at once."
We complied with reverent deference to his
request and left hurriedly in a dazed, confused
state. At best I was confused with this abrupt turn
of events and at the worst my mind raced a
head with a torrent of questions within me. The
conflict rising within my mind and heart was
intrigued at the abruptness of this new inexpli-
cable development. Bewildered and amazed, the
queries within me remained unanswered -- Who
is this Swami ji? When did he arrive? How did
Gurudev learn of his arrival?
A few days later, the whole episode of the
Experiencing Divinity
14
unpredicted arrival of Swami ji happened again.
This time, I was determined to ask Gurudev
about this divine, but mysterious Swami ji and
clarify my inner most doubts about his very
existence. Gurudev’s reply confounded me.
“Swami ji can come any time,”Gurudev calmly
explained,“and since he is a divine soul therefore
he remains invisible, and a naive, unevolved
human mind cannot sense his arrival and
presence. But I can see the vision of Swami ji. It is
an intrinsic part of his mystic being and nature
that he wants to be reclusive and doesn’t like
anyone around him. He goes away if I don’t pay
attention or inadvertently don’t acknowledge his
presence. God willing, and with His blessings, I
will 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 express
my uncertainties on what seemed to be unfath-
omable, with Gurudev, anymore.
One day I went to Gurudev’s residence for
some work. The intercom rang at the reception.

Mystic

yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:32 AM Page 16
Gurudev was on the line. Speaking softly, in a
low-keyed voice, Gurudev said “Come to my
room silently without making any noise. Swami ji
is here! He has asked me to call you here. Come
over and greet Swami ji”.
As I entered Gurudev’s room, I saw a divine
soul sitting in a very simple attire on a mat. He
was 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 sit
down. We all sat for a while in total silence.
Gurudev then indicated that I leave the room. I
obeyed, touched the lovely feet of Swami ji and
Gurudev and then left the room. Swami ji didn’t
look up at me at all. He was still absorbed in
reading the book.

Whilst the filming of the show progressed
smoothly, during one of the shooting schedules
in a private studio, a strange incident happened
which intrigued me. As soon as the recording
started, the cameraman stopped the camera
abruptly and suddenly declared that,“Recording
cannot take place now, as Gurudev’s eyes are
completely red presently.” I was stunned as I
looked at Gurudev’s eyes and did not observe
anything abnormal. They were not red.
After some time, the interruption of the
shooting schedule was resumed. Again, the
cameraman ordered the shoot to be stopped as
he noticed Gurudev’s abnormally red eyes once
again. I personally saw the recording and was
taken aback to note, that the cameraman was
telling the truth.
I asked Gurudev, about the mystery behind
the repeated appearance of those red eyes, and
he replied,“Call up the owner of this studio.Then
I will unravel this mystery.”
The owner of the studio was requested to
come over to visit Gurudev. Once there, Gurudev
spoke to him in person and in a heavy voice
which was profoundly earnest in the extreme
and deeply concerned, as he revealed insight-
fully, whilst stating “You have spent lakhs of
Experiencing Divinity

The
Mystery
of the Red
Eyes

Rupees on this studio, but still you are running in
heavy losses.”
Gurudev said, “Many evil practices are going
on at this place.That is the reason that this studio
is running into heavy loss. I’m going to perform
special recital of Cosmic Sound Secrets here to
make this place free from all negative energies.
But you must always light an earthen lamp here
at this corner. Everything shall be fine soon.” He
indicated with a gesture where the lamp was to
be placed.
Later, Gurudev performed the special recital
of Cosmic Sound Secrets and the shooting
resumed again. Now Gurudev’s eyes appeared
normal & shooting went on smoothly.
After few days, Gurudev told us that, “The
reason for my eyes being red was that the place
was full of negative energies and after the recital
of secret Cosmic Sounds it was substituted by
positive. As expected of a saint of his stature, he
omitted to state that he did everything unasked,
as he knew what needed to be done to restore
the cosmic balance and positivity.

Our shooting schedule was due to be
continued in the beautiful hill station of
Mussourie, nestled cozily against a backdrop of
the majestic Himalayan ranges.Without any sign
of an impending change in the weather,
suddenly it started to rain heavily. Our crew
panicked as we were filming at some distance
from the main road and our mutual concern was
to protect our bulky, immovable and very
expensive cameras, lighting and other filming
equipment from the devastating downpour.
Whilst chaos reigned, I noticed, Gurudev
was calmness personified, as he sat in silence.
Watching our consternation, he asked “Shall I
stop the rain for you? Shall I clear the weather?”.
Our scientific, practical minds were shocked
into silence. According to natural laws the visible
heavy dark clouds were an irrefutable proof of
impending heavy rain.
Gurudev said, “Let me pray to God. It is then
up to God to grant an answer to my prayers or
ignore 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 pour
started to turn full swing into a drizzle and then

Intervention
yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:32 AM Page 20
ceased altogether. Soon enough, we witnessed
the glorious sun shining brightly in the sky.
Gurudev opened his eyes and smiled gently
saying, “God has accepted and answered my
prayers. Now you can shoot for as much time or
as many episodes as you want to complete”.
We resumed our shooting schedule and ended
work late that evening. Another day flew by in
filming more episodes with Gurudev’s Blessings
and we experienced absolutely no hindrances or
obstacles.
We experienced such miraculous situations
in different settings several times. On the 3rd and
4th May 2003, the 7th Prabhu Kripa Convention
was scheduled to be held in Chandigarh. But
when I reached the venue, I was shocked to see
the prevalent state of affairs.
The place was in a state of disarray. Every-
thing was smashed. The whole venue for the
Convention 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 a
few hours. He simply stated that “Don’t worry,
God will take care of us. You try to re-arrange
things once again. As per Gurudev’s instructions
Experiencing Divinity
20
every effort was renewed enthusiastically as we
co-ordinated afresh and redecorated the whole
site.
Our fears were re-ignited when the next
day’s newspaper headlines predicted a weather
forecast of immense bad weather to continue for
the next fifteen days to come. Heavy winds
lashed mercilessly and an unending army of
heavy, black clouds gathered for the imminent
onslaught.
I contacted Gurudev, worrying about the
forecast and the visible evidence of the dark
clouds. Heavy winds were blowing, threatening
menacingly to cause much disruption. “Have
faith in God,” he said “He will make everything
alright”.
As Gurudev entered the border of Chandi-
garh, his Holy words reassuring us to keep faith
came to fruition. Slowly but surely, the weather
turned full swing.
A miracle happened. The sky cleared up
and the whole convention proceeded and
progressed smoothly without a single obstacle
or hindrance.

yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:32 AM Page 22
The process of Prabhu Kripa conventions
started in December 2002. Gurudev’s TV show
“Secrets of Ayurvigyan” had completed its 200
days. In that show Gurudev used to diagnose
people’s diseases or problems just by looking at
the photos sent by them, and then he used to
offer solutions in the forms of divine medicines
and Cosmic Sound Secrets.
At that time so many letters used to arrive
that let aside reading them, it was impossible to
open them all to have a look at them.
When I presented this problem to Gurudev,
he said that from then on we would organize
large scale camps to solve people’s problems en
masse.
The first camp was announced to be organ-
ized on the 21st-22nd December in Hindu
Mahasabha Bhavan near Birla Mandir in New
Delhi. Just after that announcement something
happened around Gurudev, which can only be
called a miracle.
One day Gurudev and I visited a wise
gentleman. We had a long discussion about the
vision behind the camps and the future activities.
During the discussion the gentleman said, “Gu-
rudev, you have infinite treasure of mantras that
you are planning to shower over people in these
Experiencing Divinity
22
camps, so you should be charging them a good
amount in return.”
Gurudev kept listening to him silently. Then
suddenly he said that he had to go to Mahrauli
for some work and asked us to discuss whatever
needed to be discussed to plan the camp.
Then addressing me he said, “He has very
good ideas, you decide with him things should
be done,”and left.
As Gurudev left and we started talking, but
the gentleman seemed to be very uncomfort-
able and told me that suddenly his whole body
had started itching. It was so sudden that he was
unable to understand what could be the reason
for it! Gradually his discomfort came to such a
state that first he took off his kurta, and then the
undergarment. He had to scratch his body so
badly that his whole back had gone red and had
patches all over.
He couldn’t continue to talk anymore and
suggested that we discuss things some other
time as he wanted to lie down. After taking my
leave from that person I came back home.
Around 12 in the midnight I received a call from
Gurudev. He was asking me whether we had dis-
cussed about everything.
I answered in affirmative. At which Gurudev
Experiencing Divinity

Test of
Purity
yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:32 AM Page 24
asked me if I had noted everything down as the
points that were being discussed were very
important. I again answered in affirmative.
After a pause, Gurudev asked me whether
that man was alright. He inquired about his
health. At that, I started laughing and said to
Gurudev that it was impossible to hide anything
from him. I told him about how that man’s
condition had worsened and he could not talk
anymore.
Then Gurudev said in a serious voice, “yes, if
one won’t be pure in his thought about the
spiritual activities, his body will itch. Religion is
not about earning money. If someone thinks in
those terms, God will take care of him.”
Even now, often he says,“You want purity, or
itching?”
Experiencing Divinity

A glimpse into Gurudev’s life reveals divine
and mysterious experiences.
An example of this is the way Gurudev drinks
his tea.
He once told me,“I drink tea in an extremely
sensitive, connected state of meditation, when I
am both receptive, and intuitively responsive.”
Gurudev told me that, after taking tea in this
particular, extraordinary way, the positive cosmic
energies start circulating within his body that
help him to open up the divine secrets of the
Supreme Power or Cosmic Energy, to mankind.

Our stay in Mussourie was full of intimate
divine experiences. One such vivid recollection I
have is that of what happened on the occasion
of Gurudev’s recording session on Camelback
Road. A large number of devotees attended the
recording session.
A lady present amongst the crowd, carefully
observed the progress and proceedings of
the day’s schedule. In the evening, after the
shooting ended, the lady came to Gurudev and
insisted she had something very important to
discuss with him.
“I want to talk to you in private”. Gurudev told
her to say whatever she had to, there and then.”
But I want to speak to you only in private,” she
pleaded, "It is something very important."
Gurudev appraised her and whilst scrutinizing
her said, “Shall I tell you what you want to ask?”
The lady was taken aback for a moment and
looked at Gurudev, very surprised.
Gurudev continued saying, “You want to
know the whereabouts of your husband who left
you two months back."
The lady stared in stunned amazement,
incredulously. She stood frozen in time as if in a
state of shock. She then whispered in a low voice,
“Yes Gurudev, This is what I wanted to ask you.”

Gurudev then continued further, in a serious
tone. “He will never come back. You behaved
very badly with him”. Gurudev then paused and
asked her if she wanted to ask anything else.
The lady replied, “No nothing else”, and left
dazed, quietly and unnoticed.

In the autumn of 2002 our crew travelled
to Uttaranchal for the shooting of our show,
during which we experienced some mystical
encounters. One particular incident revealed
Gurudev’s elevated spiritual status and the divine
aspect of his persona.
The Shoot was scheduled at a private farm
house in the beautiful valley of Dehradun. Many
famous personalities were present that day to
attend the shoot. A senior Congress leader and a
famous builder were just two of those that I can
recall. Highly impressed by Gurudev’s intellect,
and divine spiritual knowledge, the builder,
invited Gurudev for dinner at his place. Intuitively
sensing their heartfelt sincerity, love and affec-
tion for him, Gurudev responded spontaneously
by accepting their invitation.
The builder reached at the fixed time to Osho
Resort 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 with
discussion rounds regarding several spiritual
topics. Spontaneous conversation flowed to and

fro. An array of delicacies was being served. But I
noticed, that Gurudev was completely silent. He
neither ate nor spoke. He simply sat there quietly,
isolated, in his own thoughts.
Observing his extraordinarily serene and
quiet behavior, the builder and his family’s
apprehension grew till they became increasingly
tense. They prayed to him to break his mysteri-
ous silence.
Gurudev spoke at last, saying, “Please let me
go. It will be in your own best interests.” The
family grew even more tense as they were
curious and badly wanted to know the reason
behind what Gurudev had just said.
Gurudev replied slowly, in a very serious tone,
and said, “I will tell you everything, but you will
not be able to tolerate it.”The builder’s family still
insisted, wanting to know, the real significance
and interpretation of his mysterious words.
“The truth is,” Gurudev continued, “that you
are in a big trouble. You are in heavy debts. Your
business is in a bad state and is incurring huge
losses. The whole family is suffering from some
ailment or the other. You are a well known
builder but none of your projects is anywhere
near completion. Somewhere or the other
obstacles are continually blocking your progress.

You could have got yourself in much more
trouble, but the idol of Lord Hanuman, placed on
the third floor of your house, on which you
regularly apply vermillion is protecting you, else
you would have ceased to exist in business and
ruined completely by now.”
Gurudev further clarified and explained to
them, saying, “You have invited me with so
much love, care and affection, now it's my
responsibility to make you free from all of your
problems and difficulties. For that I need to
perform a special recital of Cosmic Sound Secrets
for you. So I request you to kindly let me go
back." After listening very carefully to everything,
the family was in a state of stunned shock.
Gurudev said, “its in your own best interests to
relieve me as early as possible.” Before leaving,
Gurudev also added a request, saying, “Don’t
pack 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 per
Gurudev’s instructions. Much later, as I rose to
leave, the builder’s family forced me to take some
packed food items without heeding Gurudev’s
earlier request. Later that night, I went to Gu-
Experiencing Divinity
30
rudev’s room with the packed food in my hands.
I opened the door slightly, as the room was dimly
lit. Gurudev was in his meditation. He ordered
me to dispose off the packed food as quickly as
possible. “Whatever is in your hands, throw it
outside and go back to your room, I will meet
you in morning,”he told me.
At 9 o’clock in the morning, taking Gurudev's
permission through intercom I went to his room
to meet him. He was having a cup of tea at the
time. After keeping silent for a while, he asked
me to apply some salt on my body, before taking
my bath. “You must apply a bit of salt water on
your body.”I foolishly forgot to follow Gurudev’s
instructions, before taking my bath.
Later that day, when I met Gurudev, he
was smiling as he queried if I had remembered
his instructions.“Did you apply salt water on your
body 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.”

One morning, Gurudev and I, visited a busy
market place inVrindavan. Gurudev entered into
a bookshop to buy some religious books. After
he had purchased some thirty books, we left.
Gurudev placed the books in his room at
Radhey Ashram, where we were staying, whilst
in Vrindavan. Later that day, he started turning
the pages of each book. I noticed he set aside
certain books.These were books whose pages he
had briefly, at best, only glanced at. Gurudev
mentioned to me that these were books he had
finished reading. Observing my amazed state of
confusion he then said, “I have read all these
books. I shall read rest of the books later in the
day”.
I was skeptical about what I had observed
and my mind and heart were in a conflict. My
logical mind and common sense would not allow
me to believe what I had just heard from him. It
was humanly impossible. I kept my thoughts
private, out of respect for Gurudev whom I had
grown to trust completely. By now I was getting
used to experiencing the mystical, divine aspects
of being with him, despite not always compre-
hending everything I learnt.
Reading my inner most thoughts Gurudev
replied, of his own accord. “I recited one special
Experiencing Divinity
32
mantra, after which, there is no need to read any
book. You just once need to glance at the pages
of the book & then the whole book will be in your
mind and memory. You can ask me what is
written on any page of the book. I can reply you
very easily”.
Once again, Gurudev satisfied my inner reser-
vations without any questions from me. I now
understood the Secret of the Mysterious Mantra
and its mystical, divine powers.

The first Prabhu Kripa Convention was just
around the corner. Phones rang incessantly at
the Arihanta office, with thousands of people
confirming that they would like to participate.
It was expected, that the sheer number of
devotees attending would go beyond a few
thousand.
Keeping in mind the overwhelming response,
I requested Gurudev to appoint the staff of his
ayurvedic company for the convention. But he
said,“No. I will not provide Arihanta staff for the
convention.” “But Gurudev," I implored,“how will
we be able to manage this huge convention?”
Gurudev replied,“Have faith in God, He will take
care of everything.”
Next day, just as Gurudev had predicted and
seen ahead of time, we started to experience
God’s blessings. The receptionist at Arihanta
called up and said, “Several people have called
up to volunteer their services at the camp."
I requested everyone to come at 2:00 PM on
December 19th to Hindu Mahasabha Bhavan.
On the appointed day and time, some forty-
nine volunteers showed up at the designated
place, to offer their services. With this new
development of receiving such an overwhelm-
ing response, all our arrangements started falling
into place.

Divine Blessings showered at the camp and
the real color and fabric of these blessings began
to emerge with several cases of miracle healings
that confounded those receiving the blessings,
as well as others in the audience and the
volunteers, including us all. On the very first day
of the camp, just after the meeting of the
volunteers, one of the volunteers, Anil Kataria
from Faridabad came to me and said that his wife
was seriously ill. Doctors had diagnosed that in
her case, both her kidneys had failed. He further
said “She is admitted in hospital, but I want to
give my services to the camp also. On my behalf,
can you please appraise Gurudev about my wife’s
health and precarious condition and please
convey to him how badly I want to come to the
camp as a volunteer to contribute my services as
well." I promised him sincerely that I would
convey the message.
The next morning, I had several detailed
conversations with Gurudev but forgot to put
forward Anil Kataria’s request or even convey his
message, regarding his wife’s condition.
As it would unfold later, Gurudev had already
given his blessings to Sudha Kataria, wife of Anil
Kataria.
Next day, after the camp ended, Anil Kataria
came to me and said,“You must have forwarded
Experiencing Divinity

yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 36
my request to Gurudev, that is why my wife’s
health had improved considerably and she has
also been discharged from the hospital, today.
I have brought her here, directly from the
hospital.”
I told him in all honestly that I had forgotten
to 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 Kripa
Convention was organized in Paschim Vihar, in
Delhi.There one of the volunteers,Vijay Chauhan
came to me and said, “Doctors have diagnosed
that both my kidneys have failed. They have
advised me to take complete bed rest, but I want
to devote my time and services in the Chattarpur
Camp which is going to be organized after 15
days. I don’t know how to achieve this or how
this is going to be possible?” His acute concern
and 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 in
the voluntary services of the event. He also
reached the camp on his two-wheeled vehicle
and narrated to us all, that the doctors had found
him“completely normal!”

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 in
Bengalore in December 2003, a businessman
who attended the event, requested Gurudev to
visit his home and factory. Gurudev accepted his
invitation 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 the
host. He also shared his thoughts with Gurudev.
Gurudev listened to him very calmly, without
responding.
After lunch, Gurudev, called up the head of
the 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 to
the family in confidence saying,“Your family is in
big trouble. You are in heavy debts. Your factory
is running at a huge loss. Your family is facing
internal conflicts which are the root cause of so

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 is
amazing, how did you know everything about
the family?”
Gurudev replied gently,“It’s all the divine will
of God.!”

29th March 2003 was the date fixed for the
6th Prabhu Kripa Convention to be held at Kirti
Nagar, Delhi. On the 19th of March, just a few
days before the convention, during the colorful
festival of Holi, Gurudev called me and said,
“Come down at the earliest, as we have to go
down to inspect the venue for the convention."
I reached Gurudev’s place, shortly. I requested
Gurudev, not to go to the venue that day, as Holi
was being celebrated everywhere. Gurudev
replied,“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 recognize
you, as your shows are being telecast daily.” But
Gurudev replied,“Don’t worry, God will take care
of everything”.
When we reached the venue, we saw Holi
celebrations were taking place in full swing and
that too with a lot of festive fanfare. Gurudev got
down from the car and started inspecting the
venue. I was taken aback, when I noticed that no
one identified Gurudev at all. What was stranger
still was the fact that, unknown people were
recognizing me. They started greeting me with
great respect, but they did not see Gurudev,
at all.

On our way back home, puzzled, I asked
Gurudev the secret or mystery of him not been
seen or recognized by the crowds, which was
beyond my logical comprehension. Gurudev
replied, “There is one special Mantra, and after
reciting it, no one can recognize me until such
time that I wish to be recognized or be visible in
my physical, human form”
Within me, I saluted and bowed down to
this unique divine entity of Gurudev’s elevated
spiritual state and being. I was grateful to have
had an opportunity to have experienced so
many spiritual and mystic insights in his august
company and felt blessed to be in this unique
position and proximity.

During my spiritual journey with Gurudev,
I have noted innumerable times that
recipient of his blessings usually becomes
aware of Gurudev bestowing his blessings on
them, as they realize within themselves that
Gurudev has accepted their request to grant
their wishes or make them come true. The
devotees also witness his divine power in unique
inexplicable ways.
During the month of November in the year
2003, Gurudev was the chief guest at a special
event in a famous Jain Temple in Haridwar. As
instructed by Gurudev, the crew and cameraman
reached the venue a day prior to the scheduled
event.
At noon, on the day of the event, Gurudev
called me up and asked me to reach theVIP ghat
of Har Ki Pauri. Accompanying him was a senior
politician from the Mauritius Government and a
senior official of a TV channel.”Reach here as
soon as possible.”Gurudev had said. I left for the
Har Ki Pauri Ghat immediately.
The television crew and cameraman had
already reached as directed by Gurudev. The
Minister was performing special prayers under
Gurudev’s guidance for Goddess Ganga.
Later on, in the afternoon Mr. J.K. Jain, the
Experiencing Divinity
41
15
Divine
Perception
yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 42
event planner of Jain Temple, also came to the
ghat. After completion of the prayer rites, we all
sat together.
Mr. Jain requested Gurudev to reach the
venue as early as possible as the time for the due
event to begin was fast approaching. He also
invited the Honorable Minister to accompany
Gurudev.The Minister had different plans. ”I have
to go to Delhi and I will be taking Gurudev along
with 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 program
schedule 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 will
respect the other person’s opinion without any
intervention from me.”
The Minister turned to Mr. Jain and said, “I
have come here only to meet Gurudev. You stay
in India.You can meet Gurudev even later. But it’s
not possible for me to come back to India again
and again.”
Mr. Jain was left speechless on the strength
Experiencing Divinity
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 from
the executive querying after Gurudev’s where-
abouts. “Where is Gurudev?“ he asked. He
seemed concerned.
I said, “You should know better. He left for
Delhi with you. You were accompanying him.”
He then narrated what had happened and his
reason for not knowing about Gurudev’s,
subsequent movements.“Once we reached Delhi
border,”he said“Gurudev stepped out of the car.
Since that moment, he has neither returned nor
have we heard anything from him. I have even
made enquiries at Gurudev’s, residence. He is not
at home either. Tomorrow morning the Minister
has a flight back to Mauritius. He needs to meet
Gurudev. He is very worried and tense, because
he does not want to miss the opportunity of
being with Gurudev whilst he is in Delhi, before
he flies back to Mauritius.”
Two days later, Gurudev returned to his
residence of his own accord. I requested Gurudev
to narrate, as to what had really happened. He
then disclosed details of the entire incident and
his reasons for disappearing inexplicably,
without informing those accompanying him.
Experiencing Divinity
43
yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 44
Gurudev then recounted those moments and
related as to how whilst returning back to Delhi,
he sensed intuitively, that the Minister was
feeling a sense of arrogant pride because of his
recent triumph of succeeding in bringing
Gurudev to Delhi on the strength of his politically
influential and high status. Gurudev had read his
innermost thoughts. “I stepped out of his car at
Delhi border, took a taxi and went to my medita-
tion centre,”he stated casually.
Another such incident surfaced during the
Mahakumbh event in May 2004. At that time the
26th Prabhu Kripa Convention was being held in
Ujjain. The organizers of the event were an
organization called the Aggarwal Singhasth
Samiti. Proud of their financially sound status,
their attitude was arrogant, and Gurudev sensed
this attitude right from the moment the
organizers reached Indore Airport to receive
Gurudev.
Mr. Santosh Aggarwal, the Vice Chairman of
Aggarwal Singhasth Samiti had made arrange-
ments for Gurudev’s stay at his own residence.
When Gurudev reached their residence, the
drawing room was already crowded and packed
with people who were waiting for Gurudev’s
Experiencing Divinity
44
arrival. Gurudev then instructed the organizers
that “I will not meet anyone before the comple-
tion of the impending convention.”Gurudev did
not 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 as
much as they could to the organizers of the
convention.
This created total chaos amongst the
organizers. After much confusion and dialogue
that followed between the organizers, they
reluctantly agreed to announce, that if the
devotees want to donate, they can donate only
one single Rupee.
Gurudev responded, by declining to
accept, what the organizers had allowed to be
announced and said,“I cannot say what you want
me to say, as it is the Universal Law of nature that
whatever a person gives, he will get that back for
sure. People will give as per their convenience
and wishes and as much as they can. I cannot
dictate to them, to donate only a single Rupee.”
After the convention, sensing the organizers’
attitude, I confided in Gurudev that we should
leave immediately. Surprisingly, Gurudev
acceded to my request and shifted from the
Experiencing Divinity
45
yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 46
Aggarwals’ residence to a camp at the venue of
Kumbh Sathal.
Next day when all the volunteers were sitting
around in the camp, some senior members of the
organizing committee arrived and expressed
their desire to meet Gurudev. Gurudev was
informed of their arrival. He asked the volunteers
to bring them in only after he finished and was
free from his prayers.
After prayers Gurudev met each one of the
Committee members individually.
He told each one of them about the ailments
they were suffering from and the cures available
for those ailments. None of them had told
Gurudev about his personal ailments or
problems. After experiencing Gurudev’s divine
powers first hand, they were in a state of
embarrassed amazement as tears welled up
in their eyes. There was a renewed sense of
recognition of Gurudev’s spiritual mystic aspects
as they realized their mistakes within themselves,
and felt humbled after the initial arrogant stance
they had earlier displayed.
Gurudev’s divinity remains obscure and it is
an aspect the ordinary person cannot easily
decode or understand. My insights into his
Experiencing Divinity
46
elevated spiritual persona was gained by
Gurudev’s own gentle explanations each time
we were mystified by some new inexplicable
incident, episode or situation which was beyond
the realms of logic or our ordinary logical
interpretations.
On the surface certain experiences seemed
to be within the confines of ordinary common-
place, everyday, phenomenon or occurrences.
I have experienced this innumerable times. I
recall one such experience which was seemingly
ordinary, but having reflected upon it from a
spiritually perceptive view point, it further illus-
trates Gurudev’s divine unification with Cosmic
Energy.
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 me
to 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 that
work.” Gurudev said “In that case, wait for 10
minutes. I will call you again.”
After waiting for half hour, when Gurudev
didn’t call back, I decided to call him up. Guru Ma
Experiencing Divinity
47
yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 48
took the call. I requested Guru Ma, to let me to
speak with Gurudev. Guru Ma replied, “Gurudev
is 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 and
said,“I’m ready. You may bring Prem sagar along
with you.”
I reached him as quickly, as was humanly
possible. I humbly asked Gurudev to reveal the
mystery of what to me seemed incomprehensi-
ble. I had wondered why he went back to pray,
just after we spoke earlier and were about to
leave for our destination.
“Initially I took permission from God to take
you along with me. But when you told me about
the arrival of Prem Sagar, then I had to take
permission yet again for taking Prem Sagar along
with us. Now I have taken permission from God.
Now you can come as soon as possible.”
We all left for Mehrauli. With my mind now
cleared of any doubts, we proceeded quietly to
our destination.
Whenever Gurudev sees any of his devotees
unsatisfied, it is an intrinsic part of his nature to
try to bestow more blessings on him. One such
Experiencing Divinity
48
incident happened in the convention organized
in Bangalore. A devotee attended the conven-
tion and after its completion, he requested
Gurudev to visit his home. Gurudev accepted the
offer happily and even visited his residence. The
devotee welcomed Gurudev, with a great deal of
love and respect.
The very next day the devotee expressed his
dissatisfaction regarding something. In the first
place, his desire itself was inappropriate and
therefore 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, related
to his duty.“Do only ailing people come to see a
doctor? Do healthy people not need a doctor for
any reason? God has given me the duty to cure
people, regardless of the fact whether the
ailment is a physical, mental, or spiritual one; or
simply related to financial and other problems in
their lives.”
Gurudev illustrated what he had just
explained, by a different incident, but one which
Experiencing Divinity
49
yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 50
was well documented, related to Swami
Vivekananda.“One day Swami Vivekananda was
sitting on a river bank. He was repeatedly trying
to help a poisonous scorpion, to come out of the
river. Whenever he succeeded in getting the
scorpion out of the river, the scorpion stung him
and then retreated back into the river. In the
meantime, Swami Vivekananda’s Guru, Ram
Krishna Paramhansa came by. He asked Swami
Vivekananda that when he knew the scorpion
would sting him repeatedly, why was he trying
to take it out of the river. Swami Vivekananda
said, “If a scorpion cannot change his deadly,
behavior of stinging, then being a human, how
can I change my attitude of helping others. It is in
the nature of a scorpion to sting everyone, but it
is in my nature to help everyone. So I just hope
that I am successful in taking this scorpion out of
this river and can protect it from drowning.”
Gurudev said, “This should be the case with
us too. Loving others should come naturally to
us without expecting anything from them. Our
aim should be to try to change the nature of
other person with our positive attitude and
giving”
In November 2004, on the day of Ganesh
Experiencing Divinity
50
Chaturthi, I was with Gurudev in Mumbai.
Gurudev was at an unknown location for special
Ganesh Paath and meditation. About a couple of
days before this, Gurudev had accepted some
devotees’request to visit their home. One of the
devotees 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 I
will not be meeting anyone as it is Ganesh
Chaturthi, a special day, and I am on a fast. I will
not 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 and
start their fast. Please contact the people I had
promised to visit and inform them that I will not
be coming today.”
Gurudev concluded the call saying,“Don’t try
to contact me. I am switching off my mobile
phone.”
As per Gurudev’s instructions, I informed
everyone including that lady. She was not happy
to hear that Gurudev would not be coming and
sounded rather annoyed. She said, “I made
elaborate plans to welcome Gurudev. If today
Gurudev will not come, then it will create a very
Experiencing Divinity
51
yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 52
embarrassing position for me, besides having
to abandon my elaborate arrangements and
preparations already in place to welcome him.”
On hearing her agitated response, I was
extremely perturbed not knowing how to
handle the situation. Suddenly, Gurudev called
me and asked, “What are you worried about?”
Reluctantly, I told him. “One lady is not ready to
listen to anything,”I said.
Gurudev’s response was to me, by now, not
surprising in the least. “Is my fast bigger or the
love of my devotees? You give me her number
and I will talk to her directly," He said. I gave her
number to Gurudev. Later that day, the lady
called to say, “Because of you, today I feel that I
am blessed. Gurudev called me up himself. It is
the biggest thing that has happened in my life.
He said, that if I so wanted, he was ready to come
and break his fast for me. But I told him that he
can come whenever he wants to come. He said
that he will come tomorrow. He also advised me
to observe the fast for today. I am blessed that he
himself called me today.”
My firm belief today is, trust in the divine
completely. God is a divine ocean of Supreme
Blessings.

On the occasion of the 18th Prabhu Kripa
Dukh Nivaran Convention, scheduled to be held
on 13th-14th December 2003, in the city of
Bangalore, a press conference was organized two
days prior to the convention. There, by sheer co-
incidence I met the director of the renowned
Vivekananda Research Institute, who was well
aware of the unique, divine powers of Gurudev.
During discussions, he said, “Giving a complete
diagnosis of the patient just by looking at the
photograph shows the elevated status of
Gurudev’s divinity.”He went on to say,“A seminar
is 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 would
participate in the seminar. He said, “Gurudev’s
holiness and divinity have reached great heights.
His extraordinary divinity would be a viable
subject for a debate in the field of science. They
want to invite Gurudev for the seminar, and this
would enable a scientific analysis of his divine
abilities, the results of which would be put
forward to the panel of scientists and other
intellectuals in the seminar.”When I discussed the
proposal with Gurudev, his response was gentle,
and he accepted the proposal, understandingly.

On 17th December, Gurudev along with a
few volunteers reached Vivekananda Institute.
Scientific analysis of Gurdevji began in several
scientific laboratories like Revoked Potential,
Metabolic Analyzer etc. Gurudev was requested
to attain a highly elevated spiritual state of mind
in meditation.The results that started to emerge
were nothing short of startling.
Gurudev’s body was connected to several
machines. The results and analysis of the experi-
ments were continuously under the acutely
focused scrutiny and mental scanner of several
scientists. After some time, the scientists were
surprised to see that, Gurudev’s heart was
beating at a normal pace, but the breathing rate
was below normal. His mind had achieved an
extreme state of sensitivity. This led one of the
scientists to make a declaration which shocked
everyone.“Gurudevji has left his body," he stated
confidently.
Scientists started to check the pulse rate of
Gurudev. It was missing, or non-existent! They
increased the sensitivity of their machines, but in
vain.They could still not detect any pulse. After a
lapse of some time, Gurudev came back into a
normal state of being, of his own accord. His
pulse returned to normal, once again.
Experiencing Divinity
54
With the results of Revoked Potential,
scientists concluded that Gurudev‘s mind works
at a greater speed than a normal human being’s
mind. And during meditation, the sensitivity of
Gurudev’s mind reached a state of inexplicable
elevation. His power and ability to grasp was
innumerable times higher than that of any
normal human being.
After all the proceedings of the experiments
came to an end, scientists concluded, “We have
done these sensitive experiments on many
spiritual Gurus. But undoubtedly, the
experiments done on Gurudev can be witnessed
only once in a lifetime. Descriptions about saints
can 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 a
seat in a big hall. There were 18 patients sitting
in the hall. Their complete diagnosis was readily
available with the doctors. Every one present was
amazed to note that Gurudev saw the patients
only for seconds and then gave their complete
diagnosis in detail. Gurudev’s diagnosis tallied
with the diagnosis and details of other informa-
tion available with the doctors.
One unique incident occurred. After simply
Experiencing Divinity
55
yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 56
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 any
such disease.” Gurudev then said to her, “Shall I
tell you about disease you have contracted, in
public?”. After getting no reply from her, Gurudev
spoke to her earnestly, but in a quiet, sober tone.
“You have AIDS”.
After listening to Gurudev, the lady broke
down sobbing profusely. Gurudev then contin-
ued saying,“Don’t worry, I will communicate with
God for you.”
After the emergence of such positively
conclusive results and reports, a huge discussion
ensued in the seminar on the importance of
‘Spirituality in Modern Times.’

It is the supreme truth and a material fact
that astrology is a definite science. Lines present
on our palms and feet and positioning of various
planets in our horoscope chart directly affect our
lives. But there are few people in this world who
understand this science in its entirety or in great
depth. A person definitely experiences, whatever
is written in his destiny. But it’s very important,
that the person should develop the expertise to
master this science in depth.
In Shrimad Bhagwad Gita also, Lord Krishna
had said, “Every one gets the fruits of their lives
depending upon his karma or deeds he has done
in his present life or previous births." But he also
said that, "if a person comes to me with a selfless
heart, then I forgive him and free him from all his
fetters 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 the
holy feet of Gurudev and Panditji, and sat near
their feet. After some time, Panditji told me
something that surprised me immensely. Panditji
said, “There is absolutely no indication in the

horoscope chart of Gurudev for either a
marriage, or for that matter having children.
Further, there is no possibility of his having any
wealth or money.”
I was not able to comprehend what Panditji
was saying. How was that possible?
I respected Panditji from the bottom of my
heart, so I would not believe that what he said
was not truth. But the reality was the exact
opposite i.e. Gurudev is happily married to Guru
Ma, blessed with two beautiful children and is
heavily bestowed with an abundance of wealth
due to the divine blessings of Goddess Lakshmi.
Gurudev's fame is widespread. He is renowned
internationally and far beyond the confines of
national boundaries. Yet, I could not doubt
Panditji’s intellectual ability or expertise in
astrology. Gurudev had already appraised me
about Panditji being a scholar of astrology and
of his expertise in the same field. So when I
placed my query in front of Gurudev, he replied,
“Reverend Panditji is perfectly right in whatever
he is saying. I don’t have lines for marriage,
children or having any money. Whatever I have
got, I received from God due to His blessings and
His Will.”

Gurudev has always emphasized the
importance of selfless service to mankind. He
elaborated this by saying that whatever he has
got 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’s
selfless service by virtue of spending time with
him in close proximity, which began with our
project and the filming of‘Secrets of Ayurvigyan’.
One such incident happened in June 2002 whilst
the filming progressed.We were in Mussourie for
the shooting of the show. Gurudev and Guru Ma
were staying in Philigiri Hotel at Camel Back Road
and our camera team was in another hotel, on
Mall Road.
Just after the shooting schedule was
completed for the day, Gurudev instructed us to
check out from our hotel and reach him as we
were scheduled to travel to Haridwar after this.
As instructed, we checked out from our hotel
and reached Gurudev. I asked the camera team
to wait for some time, and went over to
Gurudev’s room. Delhi based politician Shri
Jagdish Anand was sitting with his wife in
Gurudev’s room. Gurudev and Guru Ma were in a
conversation with him.

yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 60
Suddenly Gurudev looked out of the window.
He got up swiftly, and in a flash, moved briskly
out of the room.We were all surprised to observe
this. Then Guru Ma simply said, “Please ask the
camera team to return back to their hotel. The
crew was scheduled to go to Haridwar but I don’t
see that happening now. I think we need to
postpone the plan. I don’t have any idea right
now 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, he
had Rs. 60,000 in his pocket. Now, I don’t even
see the probability of that money returning back
either. We need to fill fuel in the car, but I don’t
know how it will happen now.”
Confused, I discussed my thoughts and
further queried Guru Ma to elaborate further as
to where Gurudev had suddenly disappeared
without a warning, leaving our plans to travel to
Haridwar 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. Gurudev
saw that saint crossing the road and therefore he
ran after that holy saint. Now with all dedication
and devotion he will offer everything he has in
his pocket to the saint. After that, he will accom-

pany him. I really don’t know when Gurudev will
come back. That is the reason, I asked you to
postpone the program of going to Haridwar
presently, and to kindly return for now, and
check in, at your hotel again."
Tense with the newly developed situation, I
started strolling about on the road, impatiently.
I asked the camera team to wait for some
more time. After an hour, I saw Gurudev coming
towards 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 me
and I need to fill the fuel in my car also.”Gurudev
said, “Don’t worry! Let's go inside. We may find
some 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 money
was found, which covered all our expenses to
reach Haridwar..
Later Gurudev gently said,“Dedicate yourself
completely to your Guru, without thinking and
Experiencing Divinity
61
yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 62
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 service
for his Gurus. One such incident happened when
Gurudev used to work as a compounder in a
dispensary at Sant Nirankari Colony. His salary
was Rupees Three Hundred per month. One
morning, when Gurudev was leaving for his
dispensary, one of Gurudev’s old friends came to
see him, from Hanuman Garh. He came to
collect Rupees Three Thousand back from
Gurudev, which he had loaned to him quite
some time back. When the friend asked for his
money from Gurudev, he replied gently, I haven't
taken my salary from past four months from
the dispensary. I will return Rupees One Thou-
sand back to you today, and with Rupees Two
Hundred I will run my household. Saying this,
Gurudev left for the dispensary.
On reaching the dispensary, Gurudev got his
salary.While returning home, he saw his Guru. As
per his gentle, caring and generous nature,
Gurudev gave his entire salary to his Guru and
came back home, silently.
On being asked about the money by the
Experiencing Divinity
62
friend, Gurudev said, “I have given my entire
salary of four months to my Guru.” The friend
then asked him,“Now, how are you going to run
your household expenses?” Gurudev replied
back, “With the divine Grace of God.”The friend
was both anxious and very surprised to hear that.
He gave some more money to Gurudev and left
for Hanuman Garh.
Another incident happened when Gurudev
had recently bought his new Esteem car. In the
evening, Gurudev along with some saints left for
Haridwar. They were driving through the dense
forests of Muzaffar Nagar. It was a cold, chilly
night. Suddenly, one of the saints sitting in the
car said, “What are you doing in this car? With
whose 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. Nothing
was visible. There were just a few cars visible
now and again on the road. When Gurudev, got
tired after walking for some time, a car stopped
near him.
While rolling down the glass of the window,
the saint said,“You are very innocent.This is your
Experiencing Divinity

yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 64
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.

Repeatedly, Gurudev has mentioned in the
Prabhu Kripa Conventions organized in India and
abroad, that the Cosmic Sound Secrets given in
these conventions for the removal of all physical,
mental and financial obstacles of a person are
elicited directly from the holy scriptures like the
Vedas, Jinvani, Guru Granth Sahib ji, Kuran-e-Pak,
Bible, Dhammpada etc.With the divine blessings,
Gurudev can provide it from any holy scripture
of any religion. Generally, people do not tend to
believe this fact and reality but this is the only
truth. With the divine blessings, this has been
exemplified many times.
One day Mr. Satendra Jain and Mr. J.K. Jain
owners of a famous national publication house,
‘Motilal Banarasi Das Publications’came to meet
Gurudev at his residence. I had a lengthy discus-
sion with them on Jainism. After some time,
Gurudev also arrived. The Jain Brothers touched
Gurudev’s feet and then there was complete
silence for some time.
Gurudev asked about the discussions having
taken place before his arrival. We told Gurudev
the content of our interaction. He appreciated
the topic of the discussion in a serious manner.
Then he meditated for some time and started
Experiencing Divinity
65
19
Unity in
Diversity
yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 66
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 to
recite everyday to make them free from their
physical, mental and financial problems.
After expressing his views, when Gurudev
paused for some time, Mr. Satendra Jain said, “If
we are going to publish your views in a cate
gorical order then it will take the form of a new
scripture on Jainism, full of divine secrets. Your
views on Jainism are the basis of different Jain
scriptures. Your knowledge about Jainism is
divine.”
After this incident in November 2004, Tera
Panth Sabha, a Jain organization invited
Gurudev to Secundrabad. Gurudev accepted the
invitation happily.
A renowned Jain saint by the name of Shri
Sumermal was also present there. Gurudev
discussed about Jainism in detail and disclosed
the divine secrets of Jainism, which could help
mankind to come out of their problems and
benefit them. Gurudev also illustrated the divine
secrets present in Jinvani which can be used for
the benefit of mankind.
Experiencing Divinity
66
Muni Sri Sumermal addressed the audience
and said, “After listening to Gurudev, it appears
that his views are not only based on Jainism, but
they are based on his experiences of life. It
appears that he has absorbed the divine secrets
and has had an intuitive glimpse of Jainism in his
life.”
Another incident of cosmic divinity can be
witnessed at Jalandhar convention in August
2004, where Gurudev revealed the cosmic
secrets from the Guru Granth Sahib.
In July 2004 a Prabhu Kripa Convention was
held in Jammu & Kashmir. After the completion
of the convention we all accompanied Gurudev
to Hazrat Bal where Imam Sahib welcomed
Gurudev whole heartedly. At the request of some
Muslim brothers Gurudev revealed some divine
secrets from Kuran-e-Pak.
The truth behind divine powers is as Gurudev
explains saying that, “The truth behind Cosmic
Sound Secrets is not words but certain sound
which are present in all religious scriptures in a
scattered form.” Gurudev provides us these
Cosmic Sound Secrets by putting them all in one
thread. It has been well illustrated in all the
Experiencing Divinity
67
yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 68
scriptures that they can be found only by a wise
mystic. For instance, Gurudev provided a special
Cosmic Sound Secrets to all devotees from the
Atharva Veda. It is well written in Veda that
this mantra is a super jewel of all mantras. It has
powers of Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, Lord
Mahesh, Goddess Mahalaksmi, Goddess
Mahakali, Goddess Mahasaraswati, Lord Kuber,
Lord Indra and many other Gods. This mantra is
the most effective of all Mantras, because it gives
benefits on an immediate basis.
About this, an evidence can be also wit-
nessed, Gurudev said,“God is one, but his names
are many. Some call Him Ishwar, some call
Him Allah, some call Him Wah-e-Guru, some call
Him Jesus, some call Him Buddha and some call
Him Mahavir. Water quenches thirst, regardless
of name anyone calls it by. The sun also shines
equally over all, even if it is called by different
names.” Further, Gurudev says, that the Cosmic
Sound Secrets being provided to all devotees by
him, are directly received from God. And God has
no particular religion. He belongs to all equally
and therefore Cosmic Sound Secrets are
extremely effective and can be found in all the
Holy scriptures.

It has been scientifically proven innumerable
times that all proceedings of Bhagwan Shree Lak-
shmi Narayan Dham take place with the divine
blessings of God. Regardless of how famous, or
great a singer, author or orator one maybe, it is
ultimately the divine power of God, which comes
into play, and the power that rules the hearts of
thousands of devotees, unconditionally.
On the Prakash Utsav of Sadguru Nanak Dev
Ji, in November 2003, a famous singer was in-
vited to the studio.
He was famous in India and overseas for his
Sufi singing.That day, sang a devotional song for
the recording. After the recording, Gurudev
asked us a question in a low voice, “How was
that?” I promptly replied that,“I was not able to
see any depth in his singing or voice.”
“Switch off all the lights and cameras of the
studio and let us all sit with our eyes closed
for few minutes,” instructed Gurudev. Everyone
followed Gurudev’s instructions. We were also
given a special Mantra by Gurudev to recite.
Ten Minutes later we were instructed to
switch on the lights. and Gurudev asked the
singer to sing the same song again.
The singer sang again, but this time there was
a striking difference, and the impact on us all was

magically profound and touched the cord of our
hearts. We were so moved that tears welled up,
as the voice and content of the song, stirred our
soul.
Another miraculous incident comes to
mind, where I was to inaugurate the Ayodhya
convention. Unfortunately I was under a severe
attack of infection and suffered a sore throat and
had lost my voice. I was extremely worried
about not being able to speak or anchor the
convention. Deeply concerned about failing in
my duty, I bowed down and prayed to Gurudev
silently. After my humble prayer, I made one
further attempt to speak. I was very relieved and
humbled to note that my voice had returned to
normal. I resumed my duty and inaugurated the
convention, but the most astounding thing was
that after the convention, I lost my voice once
again.
Something very similar had happened when
the first convention was due.
I was to speak for a recording regarding
information on the first convention. Due to a bad
throat, I was unable to speak. Yet, it was crucial
and unavoidable that I proceed with the
recording. It could not be postponed. I began to
Experiencing Divinity
70
pray and started the recording. I regained my lost
voice for the recording, although I was dismayed
when my voice was lost again as the recording
ended.
The TV show “Secrets of Ayurvigyan” had
already crossed the milestone, within a few days
of its first telecast. The show was achieving a
record viewership and witnessed dizzy heights
of success. In this show, Gurudev would look at
the photograph of the applicant and give them a
complete diagnosis, along with solutions. We
began 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 complain
that for Gurudev’s show, the enormous amount
of mail and phone calls being received were af-
fecting the normal routine work of their channel.
They said that their whole staff was very much
disturbed with such disruptions.
As the show's popularity grew in stature, one
of 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
Experiencing Divinity
71
yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 72
meditation and then gave his approval to go
ahead with the proposed show. My problem was
that I didn't know Punjabi language well enough.
I discussed this with Gurudev and expressed my
concern and reservations. “I will not be able to
host and anchor the show, but I will stay behind
the camera. Any Punjabi anchor can come
and host the show and he will show you the
photographs and ask you the questions related
to the photo." I said. But Gurudev asked me to sit
with the anchor during the show and compeer
the show in a way that I could handle it.
The search for a Punjabi anchor started. A
professional Punjabi anchor was head hunted in
Mumbai. Surprisingly, he was not able to ask any
questions to Gurudev. We then tried to find a
Punjabi 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 Punjabi
anchor.We will simply continue as we did earlier.”
In another incident, I want to illustrate, I had
an idea that we should add some glamour to
the show by introducing a professional model to
anchor the show. This I believed would attract
Experiencing Divinity
72
more viewers and thus increase the viewership
several 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." Gurudev
smiled gently and said, “Do as you feel is right,
but you will also have to be a part of anchoring
the show."
As per Gurudev’s instructions, I contacted a
professional model co-ordinator to select a
model for the show. I invited a model to host the
show. 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 he
looked at the model very seriously and said,“My
dear, today you cannot sit for the recording,
because you are going through your menstrual
cycle."
The model was present along with her
mother. Both were shocked to hear that. The
model then asked me, very softly, “How does
Gurudev know that I am having my periods." She
left the studio, shortly after this.
Another model was arranged to anchor the
show. Shooting went on for hours. After some
time, Gurudev suddenly addressed the model
Experiencing Divinity
73
yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 74
and said,“A girl can have one or two boyfriends,
but you have five boyfriends. And you have
asked 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 in
the morning?”
Listening to this, the model was taken aback
and nothing short of scandalized.Visibly anxious,
her face mirrored how shocked she was. She left
the shooting after saying that, “Swamiji is very
dangerous, How did he come to know that I have
asked all my five boyfriends to meet me at 5 o
clock in the morning? I will not come in front of
him again. I don’t know what more he might say.”
The lady was left very surprised, and the
whole camera team stood riveted as if stunned
with the revelation. Co-incidently her father was
also present at the shooting. She left the shoot,
saying “How did Gurudev come to know about
confidential details of my personal life!"
This incident happened in Mumbai. During
the night shooting Gurudev started looking very
angrily at the light boy of the show. He said,“You
beat your wife regularly, drink and abuse drugs
daily. Stop doing all this."
After listening to all this, the light boy started
apologizing profusely but Gurudev closed his
Experiencing Divinity
74
eyes and sat quietly.
Gurudev says,“After saying my prayers, when
I sit for the shooting, I am able to visualize the
whole crew along with their family members and
can also see the problems and ailments they are
suffering from.”
Once shooting was being done late at night.
Suddenly Gurudev asked the cameraman to call
his mother at home. He said, “Your mother is
seriously ill. She is not able to get up from the
bed. You call her up immediately." When he
called up at his residence, he was surprised to
know the truth.
Once, on another occasion, shooting was
being held late at night. While shooting, the
cameraman dozed off. At that moment, Gurudev
was diagnosing a gentleman and was explaining
his ailments. But when we tried to wake up the
cameraman, Gurudev stopped us saying, “Let
him sleep. He hasn’t slept for the past three days.
He is really very tired. I have made him sleep. He
will get up on his own after three minutes and
will 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 one
sows, so does one reap.
Neither the seed nor the field benefits when
the farmer sows a seed in the field. The farmer
alone benefits and enjoys the fruits of his labor
and toil.
The seed sprouts and gets transformed over
a period of time into fruits and flowers. A striking
lesson 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 the
Universal 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 to
be held in Maharashtra. After the convention, the
divine process of Gurudev visiting the homes of
devotees and volunteers was taking place . At
midnight, we had already finished our dinner at
one of the devotee’s house. It was around 2 am,
in the night. Suddenly Gurudev announced,“We
have to go to one more place. There you and
Guru Ma alone will accompany me. No one else
will come.”
Experiencing Divinity
76
As per Gurudev’s instructions, we started for
this unknown destination. After travelling
through some lonely isolated streets, the car
stopped, in front of an ordinary house. The
family greeted Gurudev and Guru Ma with loads
of love and respect. After some time Gurudev
asked the lady,“Sister, prepare some food for us.
I thought to myself that we have already had our
dinner, so why is Gurudev asking them to
prepare dinner again?”
After some time, dinner was laid out before
us. 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 a
precious necklace which was worth lakhs of
rupees. I wondered how the simple, ordinary
looking family had gifted such a precious
necklace to Guru Ma, as the head of the family
was 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

they had kept for the marriage of their daughter.
Shall I return this necklace back?”he asked.
I said hesitatingly, “Gurudev, whenever a
farmer sows a seed in the field, the seed never
returns back as a single seed, it always returns
laden with fruit or other gifts which are immeas-
urable, abundant or a hundred thousand fold of
whatever is sown.” Gurudev closed his eyes and
recited a mantra and said, “I have asked God for
what you were wishing for this family."
Another incident of Gurudev’s blessings
being showered on his beloved devotees is
illustrated in this incident. A convention was to
be held on Guru Purnima day and was scheduled
for 4 o clock in the evening. The weather
betrayed us as it had become unbearably hot.
Gurudev was staying 7-8 kms away from the
Venue. He was in meditation and in special Path
so no one was allowed to meet him. But due to
some important work and with the permission
of Gurudev, I went to meet him. It was 12.30 in
the afternoon. Two ladis, one of whom was a
senior official, came to meet Gurudev.When they
bowed down to Gurudev, he asked them why
they had come. The ladies said, “To get your
blessings.” Then Gurudev closed his eyes and
Experiencing Divinity
78
said,“Go to the venue of the convention on foot.
Don’t take a car.”
I was concerned and uneasy after hearing
this. It was so hot outside that it was difficult to
cover 7-8 km on foot. But I kept my thoughts
to myself, and trusted Gurudev’s divinity to
manifest in the matter, somewhere along the
way.
The lady official instructed her security
guards accompanying her, to precede them and
reach the convention in the car, on their own,
and both ladies then left the place happily, to
proceed in order to reach the convention venue,
on foot.
After some time, Gurudev asked me to send a
car after them, to drive them down to the venue.
I sent my car immediately, along with the driver
to pick them up mid way and drive them to the
convention venue.
The driver returned soon and informed me,
that they refused to accept the lift.
Three hours later, just as I reached the venue
for the convention, both the ladies made it to the
venue as well, having completed their journey by
foot. Their face was completely red, but I could
see an inner glow of elation and happiness on
their faces too.

problem. To my amazement I learnt from them
that with the blessings of Gurudev, both were
able to deal with their miseries very successfully.
I then realized it was part of Gurudev’s divine
plan to deliver the two ladies free from all their

The greatest spiritual Gurus and elevated
Masters always work selflessly to ensure their
devotees' wellbeing. Different Masters through-
out the ages have used different methods to
achieve this. Some accomplish this through
generous distribution of the divine secrets and
mantras. Others recommend austerities and
meditation, and the third way is that the Gurus
take all the devotees’miseries and ailments upon
themselves and then get rid of it through
meditation.
Gurudev has been helping his devotees
selflessly through all of these unique methods. It
is well documented throughout history, in all the
ancient scriptures that it is crucial for a person to
have strong, unquestionable, rock like faith
in God and his Guru who will help him to be
delivered from all his mental, physical and other
miseries. Gurudev has freed his devotees, from
this rule as well. He clearly states that even by
the devotee simply practicing the Cosmic Sound
Secrets given by him, they begin to work. The
Cosmic Sound Secrets are going to manifest and
work for the individual reciting them and will
show their beneficial results, regardless of the
fact whether the devotee has any trust or faith in
God or not.

The conventions are attended by thousands
of devotees who are struggling with incurable
and other serious ailments. They have gone
everywhere from doctors to astrologers, tantriks
to ojhas and hakims. Seeing no benefits from
anyone they come to the convention to get
divine blessings of God. Gurudev gives them a
simple cosmic secret which they can recite
anywhere and at any time in the morning,
evening, whilst travelling and that too only for
15-20 minutes.
Devotees do this recital daily and get rid of
their problems. Many people go to astrologers
who suggest them recitals which will get carried
on for longer duration of time. For an example, I
cite the one lakh times recital of‘Mahamritunjaya
Mantra’. Then it is surprising to understand that
how a simple recital given by Gurudev can make
us free from all of our problems. Of this, Gurudev
says, “For the convenience of devotees, it is
advisable to do it for few minutes, but you can
increase the time to make it more effective and
result oriented.”
Gurudev’s way of freeing a person from all his
miseries is exemplified through numerous and
varied incidents. One such incident happened on
the first day of the convention scheduled in

on a piece of paper that“One of the devotees' is
battling for his life against throat cancer at Stage
4, he requested me to restore his good health. I
have taken his ailment on myself, therefore I will
not be able to speak today."
Next day, Gurudev came back to his normal
condition. He was able to speak properly. He also
said,“The devotee who was suffering from throat
cancer till yesterday and because of whom I was
not able to speak is free from his ailment now,
with the divine grace of God. I am normal now
and his health has been restored.”
A similar incident occurred, when a lady
contacted me and said, “My Guruji stays in
Mehrauli, Delhi and is well renowned in the field
of spiritualism. He is not keeping good health
these days. He is very serious and is vomiting
blood.The doctor has not been able to diagnose
him properly. But I feel, with the grace of
Gurudev, he may recuperate and regain his
health back.”
I told Gurudev about the lady’s urgent
request. Gurudev said, “I will go and see him in
the evening.”

Next day, the lady contacted me again, and
said, “A miracle happened yesterday. Last
evening, Gurudev came. For some time both the
saints were in one room in silence. I don’t know
what happened between them, but from the
time Gurudev has gone back after seeing my
Guruji, he is not vomiting blood!”
Later Gurudev told me,“That saint had taken
someone else’s misery upon himself, but was
unable to get rid of that ailment, therefore he
was so ill. But now with the grace of God, he is
well again.”
I would like to go back in time to recall
another incident from my personal life.
This is from the days when Gurudev would
look at a patient’s photograph in a show called
“Secrets of Ayurvigyan” telecast on Aastha
Channel, and give a complete diagnosis along
with the medication and mantras required. I used
to accompany Gurudev to several locations for
shooting. Once, when we were together in
Vrindavan, we stayed at Balaji Dharmshala.
Gurudev was staying on the first floor, while I was
put up on the second floor. Gurudev was
meditating in his room and I was waiting for his
meditation to get over. I was sitting in my room
Experiencing Divinity

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, my
whole body turned a reddish hue and then I
turned pale yellow.
Immediately, the make-up man rushed
towards Gurudev’s room. Gurudev was still in his
meditation. Gurudev, had already seen the
earthen lamp in the pooja room snuff itself out.
The crew told Gurudev about my condition.
Gurudev said very simply, “that was the reason
the light of this lamp went out. Don’t worry, I will
come shortly.”
After some time, I gradually started recover-
ing and soon became normal again. Gurudev
came to my room and said, “Let's set off for the
shooting.” The venue for the shooting was
Keshav Sarovar in Govardhan Parikrama Sthal.
Gurudev soon left, along with crew members
for Keshav Sarovar. Gurudev was in a separate
car. 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's
driver coming towards me. He said, “Gurudev is
Experiencing Divinity
85
yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 86
very serious, he is lying unconscious, on a broken
bed in a nearby ancient temple. His clothes and
body are badly soiled. His body is very still.”
After hearing of this I ran all the way to see
Gurudev as fast as I possibly could. I was shocked
to see his condition. After some time Gurudev
came back to consciousness and gradually
started to feel normal again. He started getting
up, from the broken bed. Silently, he instructed
me, “Call Guru Ma and tell her that lamp in the
pooja room has gone out. Ask her to light it
again.” He then asked for a fresh set of clothes
from 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 started
doing the Parikrama while lying down in the car
itself.
After the Parikrama, we came to Balaji
Dharmshala but Gurudev’s health was
deteriorating. He was vomiting badly. Guru Ma
was also called from Delhi.
Guru Ma reached within 4 hours of getting
the news of Gurudev’s rapidly deteriorating
health condition.
Next day, when I went to meet Gurudev in his
room, I observed that Gurudev appeared normal.
Experiencing Divinity
86
To satisfy my curiosity, Gurudev unraveled the
secret or mystery behind the whole incident. I
was stunned to hear what Gurudev had to say.
“The time for your life had ended. That was the
reason the lamp lit in my pooja room, blew off
on its own. But when I prayed for you, God
transferred your death on to me. With God’s
blessings your life was returned back to you
within a few seconds. But, when you were
preparing for the shoot at Keshav Sarovar, I came
out of the car and started to walk, but within
seconds, I lost my consciousness. I fell into the
puddle of muddy water. I didn’t stop reciting the
mantras. After some time, God returned my
consciousness. I got up very slowly and went to
the nearby temple and lay down on an old bed.
But now there is no need to worry. I will be fine
within 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 perfectly
fine and the shooting started in full swing at
Nandan Van Studio.

After the completion of 16th Prabhu Kripa
Convention, Gurudev’s mystical powers touched
a record milestone. During the convention, a
renowned saint came and personally requested
me to bring Gurudev to their Ashram.
When asked the reason behind this special
request, the disciple told me that Swamiji’s
daughter was seriously ill. So to get her
Gurudev’s Blessings, Swamiji invited him to the
Ashram.
The disciple repeatedly requested me to
bring down Gurudev, and persisted in his re-
quest both during and after the convention.
After the convention, when Gurudev retired to
his room for rest, he reminded me yet again and
repeated the request.
When I told Gurudev about this repetitive
request, He said,“We will go to the ashram after
the completion of the convention.”
The very next day, Swamiji’s disciple reached
the venue and after the completion of the
convention, Gurudev left with them for the
Ashram. Guru Ma and a few other volunteers also
accompanied Gurudev to Swamiji’s Ashram.
Following Gurudev’s instructions, I also
Experiencing Divinity

accompanied them in the car but my mind was
riddled with confusion and recurring doubts.We
reached the Ashram very late at night. When we
entered the Ashram we saw small temples
having been built up with the photographs of
Swamiji placed in them. His disciples were
worshipping him like God. I thought, this saint
always talks about“Hari”(one of God’s names) in
his conversations, and says everything happens
with the will and wishes of God, but there is not
a single reflection of“Hari”in these small temples
built 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 large
scale. We were taken to an unknown location
and we were asked to wait while Gurudev went
in to see Swamiji.
After some time, Gurudev came back and we
all started roaming about in the Ashram. I saw a
large temple in the Ashram with the photograph
of the saint’s mother in it.
After strolling about in the ashram for some
time, we reached the Welcome Room of the
Ashram, where many disciples were sitting in a
queue and waiting for Gurudev with folded

  • 4. It is virtually impossible to describe Brahm Rishi Kumar Swami ji in words and bind him within a limitation. No matter, what is said about him words are limiting. His‘Maha kripayein’or gifts of Divine Names and Cosmic Grace, which he so generously bestows on his devotees are as deep as an ocean whose shores reach worldwide touching & lighting the hearts, minds of millions. Gurudev’s cosmic divinity is way beyond comprehension of mankind at a worldly level. His celestial words and actions are beyond the ordinary and extend in the realms of the incomprehensible divine mysteries perhaps never to be completely understood.The magnificent extraordinary divine cosmic Grace’s effects have been personally experienced by millions and witnessed by people from countries around the globe and by people from diverse cultures, religions, faiths, colors, castes, creeds and countries. People of different levels of spiritual elevation, besides those in transition, through their spiritual journeys and different levels of progressions have benefited from being empowered by the effects of Cosmic Grace. The powerful mystical experiences and spiritual dimensions are unique to Kumar Swami Brahm rishi ji whom we reverently call Gurudev. Gurudev is totally devoid of any ego and his persona exudes humility and divine Grace. His Holiness’s entire existence is dedicated and immersed in service to mankind selflessly. Gurudev’s contribution to humanity is exemplary. As a signature brand emanating from India. His mystical sound secrets called‘Cosmic Grace’are possibly the most immeasurable treasure gifted to mankind to empower them with Health, Wealth and higher dimensional knowledge and learning. The color of the spiritual ink of this signature is such that the Indian.’Sanatan Maryada’or intrinsic moral, spiritual and dharmic laws universally applicable have been acclaimed and recognized worldwide as the mounting record of Miraculous recoveries made by people worldwide backed by irrefutable medical records of complete reversal of incurable medical conditions continues to stack up, unabated. Understanding the mysteries behind Gurudev’s generous distribution of the ‘Beej Mantra’ or the divine Sound secrets of Cosmic Grace is beyond the horizons of the capabilities of the human mind .The intrinsic moral & spiritual laws which come into divine play when people experience the power of the‘Beej Mantras’in their lives, is inexplicable. Their lives are changed forever. The power of the Mantras is so devastatingly and profoundly life changing, that its effects are nothing short of a miracle. It is only after experiencing and being entrenched in the abundance and color his Grace , Blessings and gifts that we begin to be imbibed with a renewed courage and vision to attempt to see with greater clarity the value and extent of our own empowerment. His pleasant nature, simple personality, and unassumingly humble demeanor belies the treasure trove of deeply mysterious and enormously important divine secrets he holds within. This Universal Saint is on a mission to relieve humanity of its sufferings on this planet at a time its wonderful people need help most, be it financially, mentally or from physical ailments to wipe out their problems to make way for life’s higher purpose in order to communicate with God without being distracted by worldly obstacles in the path of their spiritual journey. This book is the result of repeated requests by spiritual seekers of higher knowledge and those aware of my having spent several years in close contact with Gurudev whilst traveling with him and attending several‘Dukh Nivaran Samagams’or public audiences all over the world and within different states of India. The version in your hands is a compilation of independent and various other experiences and narratives from a personal, limited comprehension and view point. Words will not do justice to the larger than life factual reality of this Mystic saint of the 21st century. It is merely an effort to present some glimpses from my personal journey back into memory lane and time, captured forever in my subconscious and conscious mind as sacrosanct, priceless and irreversible asset which has enriched my life forever until God wills. I share this humble offering with all those searching for the light and love that God is. In translating this book I would heartfelt thank Dr. Jaslien Singh and Vijayalaxmi Radkar (Vijoo), and Mr. Sanjay Bharti for the beautiful art work and hope and pray they are blessed by God forever and receive from Sadguru the Blessings and gifts for their sincere contribution.

  • 5. Divine inspiration and a spiritual insight led us to conceptualize and initiate a project to create a TV show based on ‘Spiritualism and Ayurveda’, which would be unique and extra- ordinary. After exhaustive discussions with a senior executive of an internationally renowned TV Channel, we began our search for a contemporary, spiritually elevated mystic, revered internationally - who could nourish, inspire and influence mankind spiritually. We were searching for a divine being who could alter human destinies and give people freedom from their sufferings cure them from innumerable diseases, both mental and physical. After fine tuning our concept, I presented the proposal to Gurudev, who unassumingly queried as to what the proposed show would be based on, besides wanting to know the content and guidelines along which the show would unfold. I narrated him the concept, the procedures, and content planned for filming. “We will discuss various common and serious diseases in detail, whilst you will respond by throwing light about the corresponding cures for the same in Ayurveda.” Gurudev expressed desire to reflect introspectively on the proposal. And days flew Experiencing Divinity 8 by, as I waited in vain, for Gurudev to revert back to me. Then, one fine day, Gurudev called me and said,“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 phone switched off. I waited patiently, despite the uncertainty. Around 3 o’clock in the afternoon, I received a call from Gurudev. He asked me to see him at the Iskcon Temple. I hurried to make my way to the Iskcon Temple and finally met Gurudev. Together, we proceeded to Yamuna Ghat. At the 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. The boatman was promised he would be paid and compensated accordingly for his time, by Gurudev. For almost three hours, we were sitting in a boat and enjoying the ride in River Yamuna. But Gurudev didn’t talk about the proposal. After stepping down from the boat, Gurudev said, “I want to stay inVrindavan for some work, you can Experiencing Divinity 9 1 Divine Experience yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:32 AM Page 10
  • 6. go back to Delhi. We will discuss the proposal in detail, in Delhi”. Next day, in Delhi, Gurudev asked me to come to his residence. He asked me, what the title of the show would be. “Have you given it a thought yet?” I then responded by proposing, “Ayurveda and Us”, “ Ayurveda & Mankind” or “Secrets of Ayurveda”. But Gurudev rejected all the titles proposed by me and chose “Secrets of Ayurvigyan”. After reflecting introspectively, Gurudev said, “To make the show more unique and interesting, I will look at the photograph of the applicant and give a complete diagnosis of the disease from which he is suffering and prescribe the treatment.” I was stunned. My practical, intellectual mind questioned as to how that could be possible? It would be a scandal to telecast the wrong examination and diagnosis of the patient on an internationally telecastTV channel.To me, it was a frightening prospect. My mind mentally raced ahead surmising the enormity of the risk and potentially devastating consequences for theTV Channel. Reading my thoughts Gurudev calmly assured me by saying“You plan the concept the Experiencing Divinity 10 way I am asking you to. If you are still not convinced, then we will accede to your channel’s wishes.” Finally, the guidelines, concept and content were developed according to his suggestions. With the aim of making the show authentic from every aspect, a well known astrologer was also engaged. It was decided that Gurudev will glance at a photograph and throw light on the ailments the applicant was suffering from and after the detailed diagnosis by Gurudev, the astrologer would verify it on the basis of an astrological chart of the applicant. Gurudev would then discuss the solution, through which the applicant could be cured of those ailments. In the initial episodes of the show, I forwarded the photographs of my family members, friends and relatives. To my amazement Gurudev revealed the precise intimate details of my family members. He revealed facts which I had never ever discussed with him before. “Secrets of Ayurvigyan” started being televised regularly. Along with it began my journey of divine spiritual experiences, with Gurudev. It was a life transforming spiritual journey full of divine and mystical revelations and a positive spiritual evolution from there on.

  • 7. As the filming of the ‘Secrets of Ayurvigyan’ progressed, my experiences and understanding of Gurudev‘s divine presence and mystic powers started to escalate to unimaginable heights. Whilst shooting the 7th episode, I presented Gurudev photograph of a young man, received from Kota (Rajasthan). Nonplussed, Gurudev simply replied, “What do you want to know about a dead man? He died two years back.” I was amazed and dumbstruck.The revelation shook me to the core of my being. I then tried to verify and authenticate the material facts of that revelation by enquiring about the young man from the sender of the photograph. The results of my enquiry astounded me.The young man had indeed passed away two years ago. My naive mind still wondered how Gurudev ever came to know! I concluded it was perhaps a glimpse into extra-sensory perception, experienced through Gurudev, beyond the realms of the logical mind. This was only the beginning. Experiencing Divinity 12 Sometime later, during the filming of the initial episodes of the show, I placed the photograph of one Rishi Kumar Verma, in front of Gurudev. After looking at the photograph, Gurudev said, “This photograph was taken 15 years back. At that time he was absolutely healthy & had no ailments. But I can say that now, he is suffering from heart disease." Surprisingly, Rishi KumarVerma was suffering from serious heart disease and was already admitted into a private nursing home at that time.

  • 8. As the filming of the show ‘Secrets of Ayurvigyan’ advanced, my mystical experiences unexpectedly began to escalate and took me to realms beyond my logical comprehension and existing 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 filming ended, Gurudev surprised me by coming up to me suddenly, and said, “Leave the premises along with your team immediately. Swami ji, has arrived. He is sitting in the next room. He will leave this place if you don’t move at once." We complied with reverent deference to his request and left hurriedly in a dazed, confused state. At best I was confused with this abrupt turn of events and at the worst my mind raced a head with a torrent of questions within me. The conflict rising within my mind and heart was intrigued at the abruptness of this new inexpli- cable development. Bewildered and amazed, the queries within me remained unanswered -- Who is this Swami ji? When did he arrive? How did Gurudev learn of his arrival? A few days later, the whole episode of the Experiencing Divinity 14 unpredicted arrival of Swami ji happened again. This time, I was determined to ask Gurudev about this divine, but mysterious Swami ji and clarify my inner most doubts about his very existence. Gurudev’s reply confounded me. “Swami ji can come any time,”Gurudev calmly explained,“and since he is a divine soul therefore he remains invisible, and a naive, unevolved human mind cannot sense his arrival and presence. But I can see the vision of Swami ji. It is an intrinsic part of his mystic being and nature that he wants to be reclusive and doesn’t like anyone around him. He goes away if I don’t pay attention or inadvertently don’t acknowledge his presence. God willing, and with His blessings, I will 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 express my uncertainties on what seemed to be unfath- omable, with Gurudev, anymore. One day I went to Gurudev’s residence for some work. The intercom rang at the reception. Experiencing Divinity 15 4 Mystic Vision yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:32 AM Page 16
  • 9. Gurudev was on the line. Speaking softly, in a low-keyed voice, Gurudev said “Come to my room silently without making any noise. Swami ji is here! He has asked me to call you here. Come over and greet Swami ji”. As I entered Gurudev’s room, I saw a divine soul sitting in a very simple attire on a mat. He was 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 sit down. We all sat for a while in total silence. Gurudev then indicated that I leave the room. I obeyed, touched the lovely feet of Swami ji and Gurudev and then left the room. Swami ji didn’t look up at me at all. He was still absorbed in reading the book. Experiencing Divinity 16 Whilst the filming of the show progressed smoothly, during one of the shooting schedules in a private studio, a strange incident happened which intrigued me. As soon as the recording started, the cameraman stopped the camera abruptly and suddenly declared that,“Recording cannot take place now, as Gurudev’s eyes are completely red presently.” I was stunned as I looked at Gurudev’s eyes and did not observe anything abnormal. They were not red. After some time, the interruption of the shooting schedule was resumed. Again, the cameraman ordered the shoot to be stopped as he noticed Gurudev’s abnormally red eyes once again. I personally saw the recording and was taken aback to note, that the cameraman was telling the truth. I asked Gurudev, about the mystery behind the repeated appearance of those red eyes, and he replied,“Call up the owner of this studio.Then I will unravel this mystery.” The owner of the studio was requested to come over to visit Gurudev. Once there, Gurudev spoke to him in person and in a heavy voice which was profoundly earnest in the extreme and deeply concerned, as he revealed insight- fully, whilst stating “You have spent lakhs of Experiencing Divinity 17 5 The Mystery of the Red Eyes yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:32 AM Page 18
  • 10. Rupees on this studio, but still you are running in heavy losses.” Gurudev said, “Many evil practices are going on at this place.That is the reason that this studio is running into heavy loss. I’m going to perform special recital of Cosmic Sound Secrets here to make this place free from all negative energies. But you must always light an earthen lamp here at this corner. Everything shall be fine soon.” He indicated with a gesture where the lamp was to be placed. Later, Gurudev performed the special recital of Cosmic Sound Secrets and the shooting resumed again. Now Gurudev’s eyes appeared normal & shooting went on smoothly. After few days, Gurudev told us that, “The reason for my eyes being red was that the place was full of negative energies and after the recital of secret Cosmic Sounds it was substituted by positive. As expected of a saint of his stature, he omitted to state that he did everything unasked, as he knew what needed to be done to restore the cosmic balance and positivity. Experiencing Divinity 18 Our shooting schedule was due to be continued in the beautiful hill station of Mussourie, nestled cozily against a backdrop of the majestic Himalayan ranges.Without any sign of an impending change in the weather, suddenly it started to rain heavily. Our crew panicked as we were filming at some distance from the main road and our mutual concern was to protect our bulky, immovable and very expensive cameras, lighting and other filming equipment from the devastating downpour. Whilst chaos reigned, I noticed, Gurudev was calmness personified, as he sat in silence. Watching our consternation, he asked “Shall I stop the rain for you? Shall I clear the weather?”. Our scientific, practical minds were shocked into silence. According to natural laws the visible heavy dark clouds were an irrefutable proof of impending heavy rain. Gurudev said, “Let me pray to God. It is then up to God to grant an answer to my prayers or ignore 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 pour started to turn full swing into a drizzle and then Experiencing Divinity 19 6 Divine Intervention yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:32 AM Page 20
  • 11. ceased altogether. Soon enough, we witnessed the glorious sun shining brightly in the sky. Gurudev opened his eyes and smiled gently saying, “God has accepted and answered my prayers. Now you can shoot for as much time or as many episodes as you want to complete”. We resumed our shooting schedule and ended work late that evening. Another day flew by in filming more episodes with Gurudev’s Blessings and we experienced absolutely no hindrances or obstacles. We experienced such miraculous situations in different settings several times. On the 3rd and 4th May 2003, the 7th Prabhu Kripa Convention was scheduled to be held in Chandigarh. But when I reached the venue, I was shocked to see the prevalent state of affairs. The place was in a state of disarray. Every- thing was smashed. The whole venue for the Convention 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 a few hours. He simply stated that “Don’t worry, God will take care of us. You try to re-arrange things once again. As per Gurudev’s instructions Experiencing Divinity 20 every effort was renewed enthusiastically as we co-ordinated afresh and redecorated the whole site. Our fears were re-ignited when the next day’s newspaper headlines predicted a weather forecast of immense bad weather to continue for the next fifteen days to come. Heavy winds lashed mercilessly and an unending army of heavy, black clouds gathered for the imminent onslaught. I contacted Gurudev, worrying about the forecast and the visible evidence of the dark clouds. Heavy winds were blowing, threatening menacingly to cause much disruption. “Have faith in God,” he said “He will make everything alright”. As Gurudev entered the border of Chandi- garh, his Holy words reassuring us to keep faith came to fruition. Slowly but surely, the weather turned full swing. A miracle happened. The sky cleared up and the whole convention proceeded and progressed smoothly without a single obstacle or hindrance. Experiencing Divinity 21 yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:32 AM Page 22
  • 12. The process of Prabhu Kripa conventions started in December 2002. Gurudev’s TV show “Secrets of Ayurvigyan” had completed its 200 days. In that show Gurudev used to diagnose people’s diseases or problems just by looking at the photos sent by them, and then he used to offer solutions in the forms of divine medicines and Cosmic Sound Secrets. At that time so many letters used to arrive that let aside reading them, it was impossible to open them all to have a look at them. When I presented this problem to Gurudev, he said that from then on we would organize large scale camps to solve people’s problems en masse. The first camp was announced to be organ- ized on the 21st-22nd December in Hindu Mahasabha Bhavan near Birla Mandir in New Delhi. Just after that announcement something happened around Gurudev, which can only be called a miracle. One day Gurudev and I visited a wise gentleman. We had a long discussion about the vision behind the camps and the future activities. During the discussion the gentleman said, “Gu- rudev, you have infinite treasure of mantras that you are planning to shower over people in these Experiencing Divinity 22 camps, so you should be charging them a good amount in return.” Gurudev kept listening to him silently. Then suddenly he said that he had to go to Mahrauli for some work and asked us to discuss whatever needed to be discussed to plan the camp. Then addressing me he said, “He has very good ideas, you decide with him things should be done,”and left. As Gurudev left and we started talking, but the gentleman seemed to be very uncomfort- able and told me that suddenly his whole body had started itching. It was so sudden that he was unable to understand what could be the reason for it! Gradually his discomfort came to such a state that first he took off his kurta, and then the undergarment. He had to scratch his body so badly that his whole back had gone red and had patches all over. He couldn’t continue to talk anymore and suggested that we discuss things some other time as he wanted to lie down. After taking my leave from that person I came back home. Around 12 in the midnight I received a call from Gurudev. He was asking me whether we had dis- cussed about everything. I answered in affirmative. At which Gurudev Experiencing Divinity 23 7 A Test of Purity yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:32 AM Page 24
  • 13. asked me if I had noted everything down as the points that were being discussed were very important. I again answered in affirmative. After a pause, Gurudev asked me whether that man was alright. He inquired about his health. At that, I started laughing and said to Gurudev that it was impossible to hide anything from him. I told him about how that man’s condition had worsened and he could not talk anymore. Then Gurudev said in a serious voice, “yes, if one won’t be pure in his thought about the spiritual activities, his body will itch. Religion is not about earning money. If someone thinks in those terms, God will take care of him.” Even now, often he says,“You want purity, or itching?” Experiencing Divinity 24 A glimpse into Gurudev’s life reveals divine and mysterious experiences. An example of this is the way Gurudev drinks his tea. He once told me,“I drink tea in an extremely sensitive, connected state of meditation, when I am both receptive, and intuitively responsive.” Gurudev told me that, after taking tea in this particular, extraordinary way, the positive cosmic energies start circulating within his body that help him to open up the divine secrets of the Supreme Power or Cosmic Energy, to mankind. Experiencing Divinity 25 8 The Way He Drinks His Tea yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 26
  • 14. Our stay in Mussourie was full of intimate divine experiences. One such vivid recollection I have is that of what happened on the occasion of Gurudev’s recording session on Camelback Road. A large number of devotees attended the recording session. A lady present amongst the crowd, carefully observed the progress and proceedings of the day’s schedule. In the evening, after the shooting ended, the lady came to Gurudev and insisted she had something very important to discuss with him. “I want to talk to you in private”. Gurudev told her to say whatever she had to, there and then.” But I want to speak to you only in private,” she pleaded, "It is something very important." Gurudev appraised her and whilst scrutinizing her said, “Shall I tell you what you want to ask?” The lady was taken aback for a moment and looked at Gurudev, very surprised. Gurudev continued saying, “You want to know the whereabouts of your husband who left you two months back." The lady stared in stunned amazement, incredulously. She stood frozen in time as if in a state of shock. She then whispered in a low voice, “Yes Gurudev, This is what I wanted to ask you.” Experiencing Divinity 26 Gurudev then continued further, in a serious tone. “He will never come back. You behaved very badly with him”. Gurudev then paused and asked her if she wanted to ask anything else. The lady replied, “No nothing else”, and left dazed, quietly and unnoticed.

  • 15. In the autumn of 2002 our crew travelled to Uttaranchal for the shooting of our show, during which we experienced some mystical encounters. One particular incident revealed Gurudev’s elevated spiritual status and the divine aspect of his persona. The Shoot was scheduled at a private farm house in the beautiful valley of Dehradun. Many famous personalities were present that day to attend the shoot. A senior Congress leader and a famous builder were just two of those that I can recall. Highly impressed by Gurudev’s intellect, and divine spiritual knowledge, the builder, invited Gurudev for dinner at his place. Intuitively sensing their heartfelt sincerity, love and affec- tion for him, Gurudev responded spontaneously by accepting their invitation. The builder reached at the fixed time to Osho Resort 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 with discussion rounds regarding several spiritual topics. Spontaneous conversation flowed to and Experiencing Divinity 28 fro. An array of delicacies was being served. But I noticed, that Gurudev was completely silent. He neither ate nor spoke. He simply sat there quietly, isolated, in his own thoughts. Observing his extraordinarily serene and quiet behavior, the builder and his family’s apprehension grew till they became increasingly tense. They prayed to him to break his mysteri- ous silence. Gurudev spoke at last, saying, “Please let me go. It will be in your own best interests.” The family grew even more tense as they were curious and badly wanted to know the reason behind what Gurudev had just said. Gurudev replied slowly, in a very serious tone, and said, “I will tell you everything, but you will not be able to tolerate it.”The builder’s family still insisted, wanting to know, the real significance and interpretation of his mysterious words. “The truth is,” Gurudev continued, “that you are in a big trouble. You are in heavy debts. Your business is in a bad state and is incurring huge losses. The whole family is suffering from some ailment or the other. You are a well known builder but none of your projects is anywhere near completion. Somewhere or the other obstacles are continually blocking your progress.

  • 16. You could have got yourself in much more trouble, but the idol of Lord Hanuman, placed on the third floor of your house, on which you regularly apply vermillion is protecting you, else you would have ceased to exist in business and ruined completely by now.” Gurudev further clarified and explained to them, saying, “You have invited me with so much love, care and affection, now it's my responsibility to make you free from all of your problems and difficulties. For that I need to perform a special recital of Cosmic Sound Secrets for you. So I request you to kindly let me go back." After listening very carefully to everything, the family was in a state of stunned shock. Gurudev said, “its in your own best interests to relieve me as early as possible.” Before leaving, Gurudev also added a request, saying, “Don’t pack 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 per Gurudev’s instructions. Much later, as I rose to leave, the builder’s family forced me to take some packed food items without heeding Gurudev’s earlier request. Later that night, I went to Gu- Experiencing Divinity 30 rudev’s room with the packed food in my hands. I opened the door slightly, as the room was dimly lit. Gurudev was in his meditation. He ordered me to dispose off the packed food as quickly as possible. “Whatever is in your hands, throw it outside and go back to your room, I will meet you in morning,”he told me. At 9 o’clock in the morning, taking Gurudev's permission through intercom I went to his room to meet him. He was having a cup of tea at the time. After keeping silent for a while, he asked me to apply some salt on my body, before taking my bath. “You must apply a bit of salt water on your body.”I foolishly forgot to follow Gurudev’s instructions, before taking my bath. Later that day, when I met Gurudev, he was smiling as he queried if I had remembered his instructions.“Did you apply salt water on your body 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.

  • 17. One morning, Gurudev and I, visited a busy market place inVrindavan. Gurudev entered into a bookshop to buy some religious books. After he had purchased some thirty books, we left. Gurudev placed the books in his room at Radhey Ashram, where we were staying, whilst in Vrindavan. Later that day, he started turning the pages of each book. I noticed he set aside certain books.These were books whose pages he had briefly, at best, only glanced at. Gurudev mentioned to me that these were books he had finished reading. Observing my amazed state of confusion he then said, “I have read all these books. I shall read rest of the books later in the day”. I was skeptical about what I had observed and my mind and heart were in a conflict. My logical mind and common sense would not allow me to believe what I had just heard from him. It was humanly impossible. I kept my thoughts private, out of respect for Gurudev whom I had grown to trust completely. By now I was getting used to experiencing the mystical, divine aspects of being with him, despite not always compre- hending everything I learnt. Reading my inner most thoughts Gurudev replied, of his own accord. “I recited one special Experiencing Divinity 32 mantra, after which, there is no need to read any book. You just once need to glance at the pages of the book & then the whole book will be in your mind and memory. You can ask me what is written on any page of the book. I can reply you very easily”. Once again, Gurudev satisfied my inner reser- vations without any questions from me. I now understood the Secret of the Mysterious Mantra and its mystical, divine powers.

  • 18. The first Prabhu Kripa Convention was just around the corner. Phones rang incessantly at the Arihanta office, with thousands of people confirming that they would like to participate. It was expected, that the sheer number of devotees attending would go beyond a few thousand. Keeping in mind the overwhelming response, I requested Gurudev to appoint the staff of his ayurvedic company for the convention. But he said,“No. I will not provide Arihanta staff for the convention.” “But Gurudev," I implored,“how will we be able to manage this huge convention?” Gurudev replied,“Have faith in God, He will take care of everything.” Next day, just as Gurudev had predicted and seen ahead of time, we started to experience God’s blessings. The receptionist at Arihanta called up and said, “Several people have called up to volunteer their services at the camp." I requested everyone to come at 2:00 PM on December 19th to Hindu Mahasabha Bhavan. On the appointed day and time, some forty- nine volunteers showed up at the designated place, to offer their services. With this new development of receiving such an overwhelm- ing response, all our arrangements started falling into place. Experiencing Divinity 34 Divine Blessings showered at the camp and the real color and fabric of these blessings began to emerge with several cases of miracle healings that confounded those receiving the blessings, as well as others in the audience and the volunteers, including us all. On the very first day of the camp, just after the meeting of the volunteers, one of the volunteers, Anil Kataria from Faridabad came to me and said that his wife was seriously ill. Doctors had diagnosed that in her case, both her kidneys had failed. He further said “She is admitted in hospital, but I want to give my services to the camp also. On my behalf, can you please appraise Gurudev about my wife’s health and precarious condition and please convey to him how badly I want to come to the camp as a volunteer to contribute my services as well." I promised him sincerely that I would convey the message. The next morning, I had several detailed conversations with Gurudev but forgot to put forward Anil Kataria’s request or even convey his message, regarding his wife’s condition. As it would unfold later, Gurudev had already given his blessings to Sudha Kataria, wife of Anil Kataria. Next day, after the camp ended, Anil Kataria came to me and said,“You must have forwarded Experiencing Divinity 35 12 Miracle Healing yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 36
  • 19. my request to Gurudev, that is why my wife’s health had improved considerably and she has also been discharged from the hospital, today. I have brought her here, directly from the hospital.” I told him in all honestly that I had forgotten to 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 Kripa Convention was organized in Paschim Vihar, in Delhi.There one of the volunteers,Vijay Chauhan came to me and said, “Doctors have diagnosed that both my kidneys have failed. They have advised me to take complete bed rest, but I want to devote my time and services in the Chattarpur Camp which is going to be organized after 15 days. I don’t know how to achieve this or how this is going to be possible?” His acute concern and 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 in the voluntary services of the event. He also reached the camp on his two-wheeled vehicle and narrated to us all, that the doctors had found him“completely normal!” Experiencing Divinity 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 in Bengalore in December 2003, a businessman who attended the event, requested Gurudev to visit his home and factory. Gurudev accepted his invitation 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 the host. He also shared his thoughts with Gurudev. Gurudev listened to him very calmly, without responding. After lunch, Gurudev, called up the head of the 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 to the family in confidence saying,“Your family is in big trouble. You are in heavy debts. Your factory is running at a huge loss. Your family is facing internal conflicts which are the root cause of so Experiencing Divinity 37 13 Divine Will of God yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 38
  • 20. 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 is amazing, how did you know everything about the family?” Gurudev replied gently,“It’s all the divine will of God.!” Experiencing Divinity 38 29th March 2003 was the date fixed for the 6th Prabhu Kripa Convention to be held at Kirti Nagar, Delhi. On the 19th of March, just a few days before the convention, during the colorful festival of Holi, Gurudev called me and said, “Come down at the earliest, as we have to go down to inspect the venue for the convention." I reached Gurudev’s place, shortly. I requested Gurudev, not to go to the venue that day, as Holi was being celebrated everywhere. Gurudev replied,“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 recognize you, as your shows are being telecast daily.” But Gurudev replied,“Don’t worry, God will take care of everything”. When we reached the venue, we saw Holi celebrations were taking place in full swing and that too with a lot of festive fanfare. Gurudev got down from the car and started inspecting the venue. I was taken aback, when I noticed that no one identified Gurudev at all. What was stranger still was the fact that, unknown people were recognizing me. They started greeting me with great respect, but they did not see Gurudev, at all. Experiencing Divinity 39 14 Mystery of a Powerful Mantra yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 40
  • 21. On our way back home, puzzled, I asked Gurudev the secret or mystery of him not been seen or recognized by the crowds, which was beyond my logical comprehension. Gurudev replied, “There is one special Mantra, and after reciting it, no one can recognize me until such time that I wish to be recognized or be visible in my physical, human form” Within me, I saluted and bowed down to this unique divine entity of Gurudev’s elevated spiritual state and being. I was grateful to have had an opportunity to have experienced so many spiritual and mystic insights in his august company and felt blessed to be in this unique position and proximity. Experiencing Divinity 40 During my spiritual journey with Gurudev, I have noted innumerable times that recipient of his blessings usually becomes aware of Gurudev bestowing his blessings on them, as they realize within themselves that Gurudev has accepted their request to grant their wishes or make them come true. The devotees also witness his divine power in unique inexplicable ways. During the month of November in the year 2003, Gurudev was the chief guest at a special event in a famous Jain Temple in Haridwar. As instructed by Gurudev, the crew and cameraman reached the venue a day prior to the scheduled event. At noon, on the day of the event, Gurudev called me up and asked me to reach theVIP ghat of Har Ki Pauri. Accompanying him was a senior politician from the Mauritius Government and a senior official of a TV channel.”Reach here as soon as possible.”Gurudev had said. I left for the Har Ki Pauri Ghat immediately. The television crew and cameraman had already reached as directed by Gurudev. The Minister was performing special prayers under Gurudev’s guidance for Goddess Ganga. Later on, in the afternoon Mr. J.K. Jain, the Experiencing Divinity 41 15 Divine Perception yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 42
  • 22. event planner of Jain Temple, also came to the ghat. After completion of the prayer rites, we all sat together. Mr. Jain requested Gurudev to reach the venue as early as possible as the time for the due event to begin was fast approaching. He also invited the Honorable Minister to accompany Gurudev.The Minister had different plans. ”I have to go to Delhi and I will be taking Gurudev along with 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 program schedule 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 will respect the other person’s opinion without any intervention from me.” The Minister turned to Mr. Jain and said, “I have come here only to meet Gurudev. You stay in India.You can meet Gurudev even later. But it’s not possible for me to come back to India again and again.” Mr. Jain was left speechless on the strength Experiencing Divinity 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 from the executive querying after Gurudev’s where- abouts. “Where is Gurudev?“ he asked. He seemed concerned. I said, “You should know better. He left for Delhi with you. You were accompanying him.” He then narrated what had happened and his reason for not knowing about Gurudev’s, subsequent movements.“Once we reached Delhi border,”he said“Gurudev stepped out of the car. Since that moment, he has neither returned nor have we heard anything from him. I have even made enquiries at Gurudev’s, residence. He is not at home either. Tomorrow morning the Minister has a flight back to Mauritius. He needs to meet Gurudev. He is very worried and tense, because he does not want to miss the opportunity of being with Gurudev whilst he is in Delhi, before he flies back to Mauritius.” Two days later, Gurudev returned to his residence of his own accord. I requested Gurudev to narrate, as to what had really happened. He then disclosed details of the entire incident and his reasons for disappearing inexplicably, without informing those accompanying him. Experiencing Divinity 43 yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 44
  • 23. Gurudev then recounted those moments and related as to how whilst returning back to Delhi, he sensed intuitively, that the Minister was feeling a sense of arrogant pride because of his recent triumph of succeeding in bringing Gurudev to Delhi on the strength of his politically influential and high status. Gurudev had read his innermost thoughts. “I stepped out of his car at Delhi border, took a taxi and went to my medita- tion centre,”he stated casually. Another such incident surfaced during the Mahakumbh event in May 2004. At that time the 26th Prabhu Kripa Convention was being held in Ujjain. The organizers of the event were an organization called the Aggarwal Singhasth Samiti. Proud of their financially sound status, their attitude was arrogant, and Gurudev sensed this attitude right from the moment the organizers reached Indore Airport to receive Gurudev. Mr. Santosh Aggarwal, the Vice Chairman of Aggarwal Singhasth Samiti had made arrange- ments for Gurudev’s stay at his own residence. When Gurudev reached their residence, the drawing room was already crowded and packed with people who were waiting for Gurudev’s Experiencing Divinity 44 arrival. Gurudev then instructed the organizers that “I will not meet anyone before the comple- tion of the impending convention.”Gurudev did not 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 as much as they could to the organizers of the convention. This created total chaos amongst the organizers. After much confusion and dialogue that followed between the organizers, they reluctantly agreed to announce, that if the devotees want to donate, they can donate only one single Rupee. Gurudev responded, by declining to accept, what the organizers had allowed to be announced and said,“I cannot say what you want me to say, as it is the Universal Law of nature that whatever a person gives, he will get that back for sure. People will give as per their convenience and wishes and as much as they can. I cannot dictate to them, to donate only a single Rupee.” After the convention, sensing the organizers’ attitude, I confided in Gurudev that we should leave immediately. Surprisingly, Gurudev acceded to my request and shifted from the Experiencing Divinity 45 yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 46
  • 24. Aggarwals’ residence to a camp at the venue of Kumbh Sathal. Next day when all the volunteers were sitting around in the camp, some senior members of the organizing committee arrived and expressed their desire to meet Gurudev. Gurudev was informed of their arrival. He asked the volunteers to bring them in only after he finished and was free from his prayers. After prayers Gurudev met each one of the Committee members individually. He told each one of them about the ailments they were suffering from and the cures available for those ailments. None of them had told Gurudev about his personal ailments or problems. After experiencing Gurudev’s divine powers first hand, they were in a state of embarrassed amazement as tears welled up in their eyes. There was a renewed sense of recognition of Gurudev’s spiritual mystic aspects as they realized their mistakes within themselves, and felt humbled after the initial arrogant stance they had earlier displayed. Gurudev’s divinity remains obscure and it is an aspect the ordinary person cannot easily decode or understand. My insights into his Experiencing Divinity 46 elevated spiritual persona was gained by Gurudev’s own gentle explanations each time we were mystified by some new inexplicable incident, episode or situation which was beyond the realms of logic or our ordinary logical interpretations. On the surface certain experiences seemed to be within the confines of ordinary common- place, everyday, phenomenon or occurrences. I have experienced this innumerable times. I recall one such experience which was seemingly ordinary, but having reflected upon it from a spiritually perceptive view point, it further illus- trates Gurudev’s divine unification with Cosmic Energy. 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 me to 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 that work.” Gurudev said “In that case, wait for 10 minutes. I will call you again.” After waiting for half hour, when Gurudev didn’t call back, I decided to call him up. Guru Ma Experiencing Divinity 47 yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 48
  • 25. took the call. I requested Guru Ma, to let me to speak with Gurudev. Guru Ma replied, “Gurudev is 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 and said,“I’m ready. You may bring Prem sagar along with you.” I reached him as quickly, as was humanly possible. I humbly asked Gurudev to reveal the mystery of what to me seemed incomprehensi- ble. I had wondered why he went back to pray, just after we spoke earlier and were about to leave for our destination. “Initially I took permission from God to take you along with me. But when you told me about the arrival of Prem Sagar, then I had to take permission yet again for taking Prem Sagar along with us. Now I have taken permission from God. Now you can come as soon as possible.” We all left for Mehrauli. With my mind now cleared of any doubts, we proceeded quietly to our destination. Whenever Gurudev sees any of his devotees unsatisfied, it is an intrinsic part of his nature to try to bestow more blessings on him. One such Experiencing Divinity 48 incident happened in the convention organized in Bangalore. A devotee attended the conven- tion and after its completion, he requested Gurudev to visit his home. Gurudev accepted the offer happily and even visited his residence. The devotee welcomed Gurudev, with a great deal of love and respect. The very next day the devotee expressed his dissatisfaction regarding something. In the first place, his desire itself was inappropriate and therefore 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, related to his duty.“Do only ailing people come to see a doctor? Do healthy people not need a doctor for any reason? God has given me the duty to cure people, regardless of the fact whether the ailment is a physical, mental, or spiritual one; or simply related to financial and other problems in their lives.” Gurudev illustrated what he had just explained, by a different incident, but one which Experiencing Divinity 49 yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 50
  • 26. was well documented, related to Swami Vivekananda.“One day Swami Vivekananda was sitting on a river bank. He was repeatedly trying to help a poisonous scorpion, to come out of the river. Whenever he succeeded in getting the scorpion out of the river, the scorpion stung him and then retreated back into the river. In the meantime, Swami Vivekananda’s Guru, Ram Krishna Paramhansa came by. He asked Swami Vivekananda that when he knew the scorpion would sting him repeatedly, why was he trying to take it out of the river. Swami Vivekananda said, “If a scorpion cannot change his deadly, behavior of stinging, then being a human, how can I change my attitude of helping others. It is in the nature of a scorpion to sting everyone, but it is in my nature to help everyone. So I just hope that I am successful in taking this scorpion out of this river and can protect it from drowning.” Gurudev said, “This should be the case with us too. Loving others should come naturally to us without expecting anything from them. Our aim should be to try to change the nature of other person with our positive attitude and giving” In November 2004, on the day of Ganesh Experiencing Divinity 50 Chaturthi, I was with Gurudev in Mumbai. Gurudev was at an unknown location for special Ganesh Paath and meditation. About a couple of days before this, Gurudev had accepted some devotees’request to visit their home. One of the devotees 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 I will not be meeting anyone as it is Ganesh Chaturthi, a special day, and I am on a fast. I will not 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 and start their fast. Please contact the people I had promised to visit and inform them that I will not be coming today.” Gurudev concluded the call saying,“Don’t try to contact me. I am switching off my mobile phone.” As per Gurudev’s instructions, I informed everyone including that lady. She was not happy to hear that Gurudev would not be coming and sounded rather annoyed. She said, “I made elaborate plans to welcome Gurudev. If today Gurudev will not come, then it will create a very Experiencing Divinity 51 yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 52
  • 27. embarrassing position for me, besides having to abandon my elaborate arrangements and preparations already in place to welcome him.” On hearing her agitated response, I was extremely perturbed not knowing how to handle the situation. Suddenly, Gurudev called me and asked, “What are you worried about?” Reluctantly, I told him. “One lady is not ready to listen to anything,”I said. Gurudev’s response was to me, by now, not surprising in the least. “Is my fast bigger or the love of my devotees? You give me her number and I will talk to her directly," He said. I gave her number to Gurudev. Later that day, the lady called to say, “Because of you, today I feel that I am blessed. Gurudev called me up himself. It is the biggest thing that has happened in my life. He said, that if I so wanted, he was ready to come and break his fast for me. But I told him that he can come whenever he wants to come. He said that he will come tomorrow. He also advised me to observe the fast for today. I am blessed that he himself called me today.” My firm belief today is, trust in the divine completely. God is a divine ocean of Supreme Blessings. Experiencing Divinity 52 On the occasion of the 18th Prabhu Kripa Dukh Nivaran Convention, scheduled to be held on 13th-14th December 2003, in the city of Bangalore, a press conference was organized two days prior to the convention. There, by sheer co- incidence I met the director of the renowned Vivekananda Research Institute, who was well aware of the unique, divine powers of Gurudev. During discussions, he said, “Giving a complete diagnosis of the patient just by looking at the photograph shows the elevated status of Gurudev’s divinity.”He went on to say,“A seminar is 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 would participate in the seminar. He said, “Gurudev’s holiness and divinity have reached great heights. His extraordinary divinity would be a viable subject for a debate in the field of science. They want to invite Gurudev for the seminar, and this would enable a scientific analysis of his divine abilities, the results of which would be put forward to the panel of scientists and other intellectuals in the seminar.”When I discussed the proposal with Gurudev, his response was gentle, and he accepted the proposal, understandingly. Experiencing Divinity 53 16 Under the Scrutiny of Science yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 54
  • 28. On 17th December, Gurudev along with a few volunteers reached Vivekananda Institute. Scientific analysis of Gurdevji began in several scientific laboratories like Revoked Potential, Metabolic Analyzer etc. Gurudev was requested to attain a highly elevated spiritual state of mind in meditation.The results that started to emerge were nothing short of startling. Gurudev’s body was connected to several machines. The results and analysis of the experi- ments were continuously under the acutely focused scrutiny and mental scanner of several scientists. After some time, the scientists were surprised to see that, Gurudev’s heart was beating at a normal pace, but the breathing rate was below normal. His mind had achieved an extreme state of sensitivity. This led one of the scientists to make a declaration which shocked everyone.“Gurudevji has left his body," he stated confidently. Scientists started to check the pulse rate of Gurudev. It was missing, or non-existent! They increased the sensitivity of their machines, but in vain.They could still not detect any pulse. After a lapse of some time, Gurudev came back into a normal state of being, of his own accord. His pulse returned to normal, once again. Experiencing Divinity 54 With the results of Revoked Potential, scientists concluded that Gurudev‘s mind works at a greater speed than a normal human being’s mind. And during meditation, the sensitivity of Gurudev’s mind reached a state of inexplicable elevation. His power and ability to grasp was innumerable times higher than that of any normal human being. After all the proceedings of the experiments came to an end, scientists concluded, “We have done these sensitive experiments on many spiritual Gurus. But undoubtedly, the experiments done on Gurudev can be witnessed only once in a lifetime. Descriptions about saints can 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 a seat in a big hall. There were 18 patients sitting in the hall. Their complete diagnosis was readily available with the doctors. Every one present was amazed to note that Gurudev saw the patients only for seconds and then gave their complete diagnosis in detail. Gurudev’s diagnosis tallied with the diagnosis and details of other informa- tion available with the doctors. One unique incident occurred. After simply Experiencing Divinity 55 yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 56

The lady said, “No, I am not infected with any such disease.” Gurudev then said to her, “Shall I tell you about disease you have contracted, in public?”. After getting no reply from her, Gurudev spoke to her earnestly, but in a quiet, sober tone. “You have AIDS”. After listening to Gurudev, the lady broke down sobbing profusely. Gurudev then contin- ued saying,“Don’t worry, I will communicate with God for you.” After the emergence of such positively conclusive results and reports, a huge discussion ensued in the seminar on the importance of ‘Spirituality in Modern Times.’ Experiencing Divinity 56 It is the supreme truth and a material fact that astrology is a definite science. Lines present on our palms and feet and positioning of various planets in our horoscope chart directly affect our lives. But there are few people in this world who understand this science in its entirety or in great depth. A person definitely experiences, whatever is written in his destiny. But it’s very important, that the person should develop the expertise to master this science in depth. In Shrimad Bhagwad Gita also, Lord Krishna had said, “Every one gets the fruits of their lives depending upon his karma or deeds he has done in his present life or previous births." But he also said that, "if a person comes to me with a selfless heart, then I forgive him and free him from all his fetters 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 the holy feet of Gurudev and Panditji, and sat near their feet. After some time, Panditji told me something that surprised me immensely. Panditji said, “There is absolutely no indication in the Experiencing Divinity 57 17 The Trump Card yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 58
  • 30. horoscope chart of Gurudev for either a marriage, or for that matter having children. Further, there is no possibility of his having any wealth or money.” I was not able to comprehend what Panditji was saying. How was that possible? I respected Panditji from the bottom of my heart, so I would not believe that what he said was not truth. But the reality was the exact opposite i.e. Gurudev is happily married to Guru Ma, blessed with two beautiful children and is heavily bestowed with an abundance of wealth due to the divine blessings of Goddess Lakshmi. Gurudev's fame is widespread. He is renowned internationally and far beyond the confines of national boundaries. Yet, I could not doubt Panditji’s intellectual ability or expertise in astrology. Gurudev had already appraised me about Panditji being a scholar of astrology and of his expertise in the same field. So when I placed my query in front of Gurudev, he replied, “Reverend Panditji is perfectly right in whatever he is saying. I don’t have lines for marriage, children or having any money. Whatever I have got, I received from God due to His blessings and His Will.” Experiencing Divinity 58 Gurudev has always emphasized the importance of selfless service to mankind. He elaborated this by saying that whatever he has got 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’s selfless service by virtue of spending time with him in close proximity, which began with our project and the filming of‘Secrets of Ayurvigyan’. One such incident happened in June 2002 whilst the filming progressed.We were in Mussourie for the shooting of the show. Gurudev and Guru Ma were staying in Philigiri Hotel at Camel Back Road and our camera team was in another hotel, on Mall Road. Just after the shooting schedule was completed for the day, Gurudev instructed us to check out from our hotel and reach him as we were scheduled to travel to Haridwar after this. As instructed, we checked out from our hotel and reached Gurudev. I asked the camera team to wait for some time, and went over to Gurudev’s room. Delhi based politician Shri Jagdish Anand was sitting with his wife in Gurudev’s room. Gurudev and Guru Ma were in a conversation with him. Experiencing Divinity 59 18 Selfless Service yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 60
  • 31. Suddenly Gurudev looked out of the window. He got up swiftly, and in a flash, moved briskly out of the room.We were all surprised to observe this. Then Guru Ma simply said, “Please ask the camera team to return back to their hotel. The crew was scheduled to go to Haridwar but I don’t see that happening now. I think we need to postpone the plan. I don’t have any idea right now 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, he had Rs. 60,000 in his pocket. Now, I don’t even see the probability of that money returning back either. We need to fill fuel in the car, but I don’t know how it will happen now.” Confused, I discussed my thoughts and further queried Guru Ma to elaborate further as to where Gurudev had suddenly disappeared without a warning, leaving our plans to travel to Haridwar 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. Gurudev saw that saint crossing the road and therefore he ran after that holy saint. Now with all dedication and devotion he will offer everything he has in his pocket to the saint. After that, he will accom- Experiencing Divinity 60 pany him. I really don’t know when Gurudev will come back. That is the reason, I asked you to postpone the program of going to Haridwar presently, and to kindly return for now, and check in, at your hotel again." Tense with the newly developed situation, I started strolling about on the road, impatiently. I asked the camera team to wait for some more time. After an hour, I saw Gurudev coming towards 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 me and I need to fill the fuel in my car also.”Gurudev said, “Don’t worry! Let's go inside. We may find some 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 money was found, which covered all our expenses to reach Haridwar.. Later Gurudev gently said,“Dedicate yourself completely to your Guru, without thinking and Experiencing Divinity 61 yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 62
  • 32. 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 service for his Gurus. One such incident happened when Gurudev used to work as a compounder in a dispensary at Sant Nirankari Colony. His salary was Rupees Three Hundred per month. One morning, when Gurudev was leaving for his dispensary, one of Gurudev’s old friends came to see him, from Hanuman Garh. He came to collect Rupees Three Thousand back from Gurudev, which he had loaned to him quite some time back. When the friend asked for his money from Gurudev, he replied gently, I haven't taken my salary from past four months from the dispensary. I will return Rupees One Thou- sand back to you today, and with Rupees Two Hundred I will run my household. Saying this, Gurudev left for the dispensary. On reaching the dispensary, Gurudev got his salary.While returning home, he saw his Guru. As per his gentle, caring and generous nature, Gurudev gave his entire salary to his Guru and came back home, silently. On being asked about the money by the Experiencing Divinity 62 friend, Gurudev said, “I have given my entire salary of four months to my Guru.” The friend then asked him,“Now, how are you going to run your household expenses?” Gurudev replied back, “With the divine Grace of God.”The friend was both anxious and very surprised to hear that. He gave some more money to Gurudev and left for Hanuman Garh. Another incident happened when Gurudev had recently bought his new Esteem car. In the evening, Gurudev along with some saints left for Haridwar. They were driving through the dense forests of Muzaffar Nagar. It was a cold, chilly night. Suddenly, one of the saints sitting in the car said, “What are you doing in this car? With whose 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. Nothing was visible. There were just a few cars visible now and again on the road. When Gurudev, got tired after walking for some time, a car stopped near him. While rolling down the glass of the window, the saint said,“You are very innocent.This is your Experiencing Divinity 63 yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 64
  • 33. 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. Experiencing Divinity 64 Repeatedly, Gurudev has mentioned in the Prabhu Kripa Conventions organized in India and abroad, that the Cosmic Sound Secrets given in these conventions for the removal of all physical, mental and financial obstacles of a person are elicited directly from the holy scriptures like the Vedas, Jinvani, Guru Granth Sahib ji, Kuran-e-Pak, Bible, Dhammpada etc.With the divine blessings, Gurudev can provide it from any holy scripture of any religion. Generally, people do not tend to believe this fact and reality but this is the only truth. With the divine blessings, this has been exemplified many times. One day Mr. Satendra Jain and Mr. J.K. Jain owners of a famous national publication house, ‘Motilal Banarasi Das Publications’came to meet Gurudev at his residence. I had a lengthy discus- sion with them on Jainism. After some time, Gurudev also arrived. The Jain Brothers touched Gurudev’s feet and then there was complete silence for some time. Gurudev asked about the discussions having taken place before his arrival. We told Gurudev the content of our interaction. He appreciated the topic of the discussion in a serious manner. Then he meditated for some time and started Experiencing Divinity 65 19 Unity in Diversity yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 66
  • 34. 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 to recite everyday to make them free from their physical, mental and financial problems. After expressing his views, when Gurudev paused for some time, Mr. Satendra Jain said, “If we are going to publish your views in a cate gorical order then it will take the form of a new scripture on Jainism, full of divine secrets. Your views on Jainism are the basis of different Jain scriptures. Your knowledge about Jainism is divine.” After this incident in November 2004, Tera Panth Sabha, a Jain organization invited Gurudev to Secundrabad. Gurudev accepted the invitation happily. A renowned Jain saint by the name of Shri Sumermal was also present there. Gurudev discussed about Jainism in detail and disclosed the divine secrets of Jainism, which could help mankind to come out of their problems and benefit them. Gurudev also illustrated the divine secrets present in Jinvani which can be used for the benefit of mankind. Experiencing Divinity 66 Muni Sri Sumermal addressed the audience and said, “After listening to Gurudev, it appears that his views are not only based on Jainism, but they are based on his experiences of life. It appears that he has absorbed the divine secrets and has had an intuitive glimpse of Jainism in his life.” Another incident of cosmic divinity can be witnessed at Jalandhar convention in August 2004, where Gurudev revealed the cosmic secrets from the Guru Granth Sahib. In July 2004 a Prabhu Kripa Convention was held in Jammu & Kashmir. After the completion of the convention we all accompanied Gurudev to Hazrat Bal where Imam Sahib welcomed Gurudev whole heartedly. At the request of some Muslim brothers Gurudev revealed some divine secrets from Kuran-e-Pak. The truth behind divine powers is as Gurudev explains saying that, “The truth behind Cosmic Sound Secrets is not words but certain sound which are present in all religious scriptures in a scattered form.” Gurudev provides us these Cosmic Sound Secrets by putting them all in one thread. It has been well illustrated in all the Experiencing Divinity 67 yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 68
  • 35. scriptures that they can be found only by a wise mystic. For instance, Gurudev provided a special Cosmic Sound Secrets to all devotees from the Atharva Veda. It is well written in Veda that this mantra is a super jewel of all mantras. It has powers of Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, Lord Mahesh, Goddess Mahalaksmi, Goddess Mahakali, Goddess Mahasaraswati, Lord Kuber, Lord Indra and many other Gods. This mantra is the most effective of all Mantras, because it gives benefits on an immediate basis. About this, an evidence can be also wit- nessed, Gurudev said,“God is one, but his names are many. Some call Him Ishwar, some call Him Allah, some call Him Wah-e-Guru, some call Him Jesus, some call Him Buddha and some call Him Mahavir. Water quenches thirst, regardless of name anyone calls it by. The sun also shines equally over all, even if it is called by different names.” Further, Gurudev says, that the Cosmic Sound Secrets being provided to all devotees by him, are directly received from God. And God has no particular religion. He belongs to all equally and therefore Cosmic Sound Secrets are extremely effective and can be found in all the Holy scriptures. Experiencing Divinity 68 It has been scientifically proven innumerable times that all proceedings of Bhagwan Shree Lak- shmi Narayan Dham take place with the divine blessings of God. Regardless of how famous, or great a singer, author or orator one maybe, it is ultimately the divine power of God, which comes into play, and the power that rules the hearts of thousands of devotees, unconditionally. On the Prakash Utsav of Sadguru Nanak Dev Ji, in November 2003, a famous singer was in- vited to the studio. He was famous in India and overseas for his Sufi singing.That day, sang a devotional song for the recording. After the recording, Gurudev asked us a question in a low voice, “How was that?” I promptly replied that,“I was not able to see any depth in his singing or voice.” “Switch off all the lights and cameras of the studio and let us all sit with our eyes closed for few minutes,” instructed Gurudev. Everyone followed Gurudev’s instructions. We were also given a special Mantra by Gurudev to recite. Ten Minutes later we were instructed to switch on the lights. and Gurudev asked the singer to sing the same song again. The singer sang again, but this time there was a striking difference, and the impact on us all was Experiencing Divinity 69 20 Divine Powers yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 70

Another miraculous incident comes to mind, where I was to inaugurate the Ayodhya convention. Unfortunately I was under a severe attack of infection and suffered a sore throat and had lost my voice. I was extremely worried about not being able to speak or anchor the convention. Deeply concerned about failing in my duty, I bowed down and prayed to Gurudev silently. After my humble prayer, I made one further attempt to speak. I was very relieved and humbled to note that my voice had returned to normal. I resumed my duty and inaugurated the convention, but the most astounding thing was that after the convention, I lost my voice once again. Something very similar had happened when the first convention was due. I was to speak for a recording regarding information on the first convention. Due to a bad throat, I was unable to speak. Yet, it was crucial and unavoidable that I proceed with the recording. It could not be postponed. I began to Experiencing Divinity 70 pray and started the recording. I regained my lost voice for the recording, although I was dismayed when my voice was lost again as the recording ended. The TV show “Secrets of Ayurvigyan” had already crossed the milestone, within a few days of its first telecast. The show was achieving a record viewership and witnessed dizzy heights of success. In this show, Gurudev would look at the photograph of the applicant and give them a complete diagnosis, along with solutions. We began 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 complain that for Gurudev’s show, the enormous amount of mail and phone calls being received were af- fecting the normal routine work of their channel. They said that their whole staff was very much disturbed with such disruptions. As the show's popularity grew in stature, one of 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 Experiencing Divinity 71 yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 72
  • 37. meditation and then gave his approval to go ahead with the proposed show. My problem was that I didn't know Punjabi language well enough. I discussed this with Gurudev and expressed my concern and reservations. “I will not be able to host and anchor the show, but I will stay behind the camera. Any Punjabi anchor can come and host the show and he will show you the photographs and ask you the questions related to the photo." I said. But Gurudev asked me to sit with the anchor during the show and compeer the show in a way that I could handle it. The search for a Punjabi anchor started. A professional Punjabi anchor was head hunted in Mumbai. Surprisingly, he was not able to ask any questions to Gurudev. We then tried to find a Punjabi 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 Punjabi anchor.We will simply continue as we did earlier.” In another incident, I want to illustrate, I had an idea that we should add some glamour to the show by introducing a professional model to anchor the show. This I believed would attract Experiencing Divinity 72 more viewers and thus increase the viewership several 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." Gurudev smiled gently and said, “Do as you feel is right, but you will also have to be a part of anchoring the show." As per Gurudev’s instructions, I contacted a professional model co-ordinator to select a model for the show. I invited a model to host the show. 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 he looked at the model very seriously and said,“My dear, today you cannot sit for the recording, because you are going through your menstrual cycle." The model was present along with her mother. Both were shocked to hear that. The model then asked me, very softly, “How does Gurudev know that I am having my periods." She left the studio, shortly after this. Another model was arranged to anchor the show. Shooting went on for hours. After some time, Gurudev suddenly addressed the model Experiencing Divinity 73 yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 74

What are you going to do so early at 5 O’clock in the morning?” Listening to this, the model was taken aback and nothing short of scandalized.Visibly anxious, her face mirrored how shocked she was. She left the shooting after saying that, “Swamiji is very dangerous, How did he come to know that I have asked all my five boyfriends to meet me at 5 o clock in the morning? I will not come in front of him again. I don’t know what more he might say.” The lady was left very surprised, and the whole camera team stood riveted as if stunned with the revelation. Co-incidently her father was also present at the shooting. She left the shoot, saying “How did Gurudev come to know about confidential details of my personal life!" This incident happened in Mumbai. During the night shooting Gurudev started looking very angrily at the light boy of the show. He said,“You beat your wife regularly, drink and abuse drugs daily. Stop doing all this." After listening to all this, the light boy started apologizing profusely but Gurudev closed his Experiencing Divinity 74 eyes and sat quietly. Gurudev says,“After saying my prayers, when I sit for the shooting, I am able to visualize the whole crew along with their family members and can also see the problems and ailments they are suffering from.” Once shooting was being done late at night. Suddenly Gurudev asked the cameraman to call his mother at home. He said, “Your mother is seriously ill. She is not able to get up from the bed. You call her up immediately." When he called up at his residence, he was surprised to know the truth. Once, on another occasion, shooting was being held late at night. While shooting, the cameraman dozed off. At that moment, Gurudev was diagnosing a gentleman and was explaining his ailments. But when we tried to wake up the cameraman, Gurudev stopped us saying, “Let him sleep. He hasn’t slept for the past three days. He is really very tired. I have made him sleep. He will get up on his own after three minutes and will 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.

  • 39. It is a Universal Law of Nature that as one sows, so does one reap. Neither the seed nor the field benefits when the farmer sows a seed in the field. The farmer alone benefits and enjoys the fruits of his labor and toil. The seed sprouts and gets transformed over a period of time into fruits and flowers. A striking lesson 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 the Universal 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 to be held in Maharashtra. After the convention, the divine process of Gurudev visiting the homes of devotees and volunteers was taking place . At midnight, we had already finished our dinner at one of the devotee’s house. It was around 2 am, in the night. Suddenly Gurudev announced,“We have to go to one more place. There you and Guru Ma alone will accompany me. No one else will come.” Experiencing Divinity 76 As per Gurudev’s instructions, we started for this unknown destination. After travelling through some lonely isolated streets, the car stopped, in front of an ordinary house. The family greeted Gurudev and Guru Ma with loads of love and respect. After some time Gurudev asked the lady,“Sister, prepare some food for us. I thought to myself that we have already had our dinner, so why is Gurudev asking them to prepare dinner again?” After some time, dinner was laid out before us. 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 a precious necklace which was worth lakhs of rupees. I wondered how the simple, ordinary looking family had gifted such a precious necklace to Guru Ma, as the head of the family was 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 Experiencing Divinity 77 21 Service to Mankind yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 78
  • 40. they had kept for the marriage of their daughter. Shall I return this necklace back?”he asked. I said hesitatingly, “Gurudev, whenever a farmer sows a seed in the field, the seed never returns back as a single seed, it always returns laden with fruit or other gifts which are immeas- urable, abundant or a hundred thousand fold of whatever is sown.” Gurudev closed his eyes and recited a mantra and said, “I have asked God for what you were wishing for this family." Another incident of Gurudev’s blessings being showered on his beloved devotees is illustrated in this incident. A convention was to be held on Guru Purnima day and was scheduled for 4 o clock in the evening. The weather betrayed us as it had become unbearably hot. Gurudev was staying 7-8 kms away from the Venue. He was in meditation and in special Path so no one was allowed to meet him. But due to some important work and with the permission of Gurudev, I went to meet him. It was 12.30 in the afternoon. Two ladis, one of whom was a senior official, came to meet Gurudev.When they bowed down to Gurudev, he asked them why they had come. The ladies said, “To get your blessings.” Then Gurudev closed his eyes and Experiencing Divinity 78 said,“Go to the venue of the convention on foot. Don’t take a car.” I was concerned and uneasy after hearing this. It was so hot outside that it was difficult to cover 7-8 km on foot. But I kept my thoughts to myself, and trusted Gurudev’s divinity to manifest in the matter, somewhere along the way. The lady official instructed her security guards accompanying her, to precede them and reach the convention in the car, on their own, and both ladies then left the place happily, to proceed in order to reach the convention venue, on foot. After some time, Gurudev asked me to send a car after them, to drive them down to the venue. I sent my car immediately, along with the driver to pick them up mid way and drive them to the convention venue. The driver returned soon and informed me, that they refused to accept the lift. Three hours later, just as I reached the venue for the convention, both the ladies made it to the venue as well, having completed their journey by foot. Their face was completely red, but I could see an inner glow of elation and happiness on their faces too. Experiencing Divinity 79 yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 80
  • 41. A few days later, the lady informed me that she was in some big trouble due to some official reason. The other lady was also in some huge problem. To my amazement I learnt from them that with the blessings of Gurudev, both were able to deal with their miseries very successfully. I then realized it was part of Gurudev’s divine plan to deliver the two ladies free from all their problems Experiencing Divinity 80 The greatest spiritual Gurus and elevated Masters always work selflessly to ensure their devotees' wellbeing. Different Masters through- out the ages have used different methods to achieve this. Some accomplish this through generous distribution of the divine secrets and mantras. Others recommend austerities and meditation, and the third way is that the Gurus take all the devotees’miseries and ailments upon themselves and then get rid of it through meditation. Gurudev has been helping his devotees selflessly through all of these unique methods. It is well documented throughout history, in all the ancient scriptures that it is crucial for a person to have strong, unquestionable, rock like faith in God and his Guru who will help him to be delivered from all his mental, physical and other miseries. Gurudev has freed his devotees, from this rule as well. He clearly states that even by the devotee simply practicing the Cosmic Sound Secrets given by him, they begin to work. The Cosmic Sound Secrets are going to manifest and work for the individual reciting them and will show their beneficial results, regardless of the fact whether the devotee has any trust or faith in God or not.

  • 42. The conventions are attended by thousands of devotees who are struggling with incurable and other serious ailments. They have gone everywhere from doctors to astrologers, tantriks to ojhas and hakims. Seeing no benefits from anyone they come to the convention to get divine blessings of God. Gurudev gives them a simple cosmic secret which they can recite anywhere and at any time in the morning, evening, whilst travelling and that too only for 15-20 minutes. Devotees do this recital daily and get rid of their problems. Many people go to astrologers who suggest them recitals which will get carried on for longer duration of time. For an example, I cite the one lakh times recital of‘Mahamritunjaya Mantra’. Then it is surprising to understand that how a simple recital given by Gurudev can make us free from all of our problems. Of this, Gurudev says, “For the convenience of devotees, it is advisable to do it for few minutes, but you can increase the time to make it more effective and result oriented.” Gurudev’s way of freeing a person from all his miseries is exemplified through numerous and varied incidents. One such incident happened on the first day of the convention scheduled in Experiencing Divinity 82 Patiala in October 2005. That day Gurudev arrived but didn’t say anything. He wrote to me on a piece of paper that“One of the devotees' is battling for his life against throat cancer at Stage 4, he requested me to restore his good health. I have taken his ailment on myself, therefore I will not be able to speak today." Next day, Gurudev came back to his normal condition. He was able to speak properly. He also said,“The devotee who was suffering from throat cancer till yesterday and because of whom I was not able to speak is free from his ailment now, with the divine grace of God. I am normal now and his health has been restored.” A similar incident occurred, when a lady contacted me and said, “My Guruji stays in Mehrauli, Delhi and is well renowned in the field of spiritualism. He is not keeping good health these days. He is very serious and is vomiting blood.The doctor has not been able to diagnose him properly. But I feel, with the grace of Gurudev, he may recuperate and regain his health back.” I told Gurudev about the lady’s urgent request. Gurudev said, “I will go and see him in the evening.” Experiencing Divinity 83 yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 84
  • 43. Next day, the lady contacted me again, and said, “A miracle happened yesterday. Last evening, Gurudev came. For some time both the saints were in one room in silence. I don’t know what happened between them, but from the time Gurudev has gone back after seeing my Guruji, he is not vomiting blood!” Later Gurudev told me,“That saint had taken someone else’s misery upon himself, but was unable to get rid of that ailment, therefore he was so ill. But now with the grace of God, he is well again.” I would like to go back in time to recall another incident from my personal life. This is from the days when Gurudev would look at a patient’s photograph in a show called “Secrets of Ayurvigyan” telecast on Aastha Channel, and give a complete diagnosis along with the medication and mantras required. I used to accompany Gurudev to several locations for shooting. Once, when we were together in Vrindavan, we stayed at Balaji Dharmshala. Gurudev was staying on the first floor, while I was put up on the second floor. Gurudev was meditating in his room and I was waiting for his meditation to get over. I was sitting in my room Experiencing Divinity 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, my whole body turned a reddish hue and then I turned pale yellow. Immediately, the make-up man rushed towards Gurudev’s room. Gurudev was still in his meditation. Gurudev, had already seen the earthen lamp in the pooja room snuff itself out. The crew told Gurudev about my condition. Gurudev said very simply, “that was the reason the light of this lamp went out. Don’t worry, I will come shortly.” After some time, I gradually started recover- ing and soon became normal again. Gurudev came to my room and said, “Let's set off for the shooting.” The venue for the shooting was Keshav Sarovar in Govardhan Parikrama Sthal. Gurudev soon left, along with crew members for Keshav Sarovar. Gurudev was in a separate car. 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's driver coming towards me. He said, “Gurudev is Experiencing Divinity 85 yogiraj:Layout 1 1/9/2010 3:33 AM Page 86
  • 44. very serious, he is lying unconscious, on a broken bed in a nearby ancient temple. His clothes and body are badly soiled. His body is very still.” After hearing of this I ran all the way to see Gurudev as fast as I possibly could. I was shocked to see his condition. After some time Gurudev came back to consciousness and gradually started to feel normal again. He started getting up, from the broken bed. Silently, he instructed me, “Call Guru Ma and tell her that lamp in the pooja room has gone out. Ask her to light it again.” He then asked for a fresh set of clothes from 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 started doing the Parikrama while lying down in the car itself. After the Parikrama, we came to Balaji Dharmshala but Gurudev’s health was deteriorating. He was vomiting badly. Guru Ma was also called from Delhi. Guru Ma reached within 4 hours of getting the news of Gurudev’s rapidly deteriorating health condition. Next day, when I went to meet Gurudev in his room, I observed that Gurudev appeared normal. Experiencing Divinity 86 To satisfy my curiosity, Gurudev unraveled the secret or mystery behind the whole incident. I was stunned to hear what Gurudev had to say. “The time for your life had ended. That was the reason the lamp lit in my pooja room, blew off on its own. But when I prayed for you, God transferred your death on to me. With God’s blessings your life was returned back to you within a few seconds. But, when you were preparing for the shoot at Keshav Sarovar, I came out of the car and started to walk, but within seconds, I lost my consciousness. I fell into the puddle of muddy water. I didn’t stop reciting the mantras. After some time, God returned my consciousness. I got up very slowly and went to the nearby temple and lay down on an old bed. But now there is no need to worry. I will be fine within 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 perfectly fine and the shooting started in full swing at Nandan Van Studio.

  • 45. After the completion of 16th Prabhu Kripa Convention, Gurudev’s mystical powers touched a record milestone. During the convention, a renowned saint came and personally requested me to bring Gurudev to their Ashram. When asked the reason behind this special request, the disciple told me that Swamiji’s daughter was seriously ill. So to get her Gurudev’s Blessings, Swamiji invited him to the Ashram. The disciple repeatedly requested me to bring down Gurudev, and persisted in his re- quest both during and after the convention. After the convention, when Gurudev retired to his room for rest, he reminded me yet again and repeated the request. When I told Gurudev about this repetitive request, He said,“We will go to the ashram after the completion of the convention.” The very next day, Swamiji’s disciple reached the venue and after the completion of the convention, Gurudev left with them for the Ashram. Guru Ma and a few other volunteers also accompanied Gurudev to Swamiji’s Ashram. Following Gurudev’s instructions, I also Experiencing Divinity 88 accompanied them in the car but my mind was riddled with confusion and recurring doubts.We reached the Ashram very late at night. When we entered the Ashram we saw small temples having been built up with the photographs of Swamiji placed in them. His disciples were worshipping him like God. I thought, this saint always talks about“Hari”(one of God’s names) in his conversations, and says everything happens with the will and wishes of God, but there is not a single reflection of“Hari”in these small temples built 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 large scale. We were taken to an unknown location and we were asked to wait while Gurudev went in to see Swamiji. After some time, Gurudev came back and we all started roaming about in the Ashram.
