Chapter 28:  Guru's grace

The lady took a deep breath and immediately started recounting another experience.

I had been getting severe pain in my right hand and once the pain lasted for about 4-5 days. I came to know that Gurunatha was visiting a devotee’s house in Chickmagalur and went there. I had consulted doctors before, they had done some tests they could not find what was causing my suffering.

As soon as Gurunatha saw me, he smilingly asked ‘How come you were not to be seen for 4-5 days?’ When I told him about the pain, he asked “Is it this hand? Touched my hand once and said, nothing bad can happen to you.” That was it, from that day l have not had that pain again.

In another instance, my son’s health became a concern all of a sudden. I kept aside all my pending work and rushed to meet Gurunatha. A large crowd had gathered to see him, I was anxious if I will get a chance to speak to him about my son. As I was thinking about this, tears rolled from eyes automatically. Gurunatha asked me to sit down, after about 1 1/2 hrs he said, “Your son does not have any serious problem, he gets pain in his knees and back of the head, he will be alright.” He immediately turned towards the people who had gathered there and joked, see I have done the scanning, she needs to pay me the scanning fees.” Within a short time my son recovered completely.

She started recounting another experience shortly after that. “Once, we had to travel to Belgaum regarding my son’s work. On hearing this, Gurunatha suggested that I should make one rice item and distribute it on theway. In a hurry, on the day of travel, I had prepared a small quantity, when we reached Belgaum we got down to distribute the rice, people flocked us as if we were distributing prasadam from some big temple. They removed their footwear and accepted what we offered with gratitude. This made our belief that our Gurunatha is always with us even more firm. My son’s work also finished without much of an effort.

In another instance, I had to go to Bangalore on some work. Without informing Gurunatha I started and met him on my return about 2-3 days afterwards. Gurunatha asked “How come you were absconding from 2-3 days?” That very moment I decided, I will not travel anywhere without informing him, for the simple reason that he will be looking after us each and every minute. Even today, we are living with the same belief. With these words she concluded her experiences.

Recounting a Gurunatha’s saying.. “Your own knowledge that follows you like a shadow wherever you go is your Guru” I left that place.
