Chapter 66 : Coalition Government formation

This incident happened around 2007-08. An influential politician from the state who wanted to form the government had tried meeting Gurunatha a couple of times but had not succeeded. Determined to meet him this time he started following Gurunatha wherever he went. At last he was able to meet Gurunatha at a devotee’s house in Chickmaglur.

Knowing his inner desire Gurunatha got a ring and made him wear it,” in so many days your aspirations will come true; you will become a chief minister. But, you will not be able to keep your word”, saying these words Gurunatha sent him back. Not knowing the full meaning of what Gurunatha had said, the politician happily went back.

As Gurunatha had said, a coalition Government was formed and the politician became the chief minister also. Once in power under the pretext of ‘Grama Vastavya’ or village stay the politician stayed in a village close to Sakharaya Patna and was waiting eagerly to meet Gurunatha till late night. However the wait was in vain. Knowing very well that the chief minister was trying to meet him, “If you truly understand the concept and feel of the word Guru, you shall leave all your entourage behind, come and meet me alone, I shall get any job done for you, otherwise you may be a chief minister for the state but for me you are a nobody” thundered Gurunatha. The message was.. Guru is not meant for publicity. The chief minister got the message and returned dejected. But, he had a surprise in store for him.

A week after that Gurunatha asked me to take care of his home while he was away.. he said “The CM wants to see me I am going to Bangalore. “

When returning from some work in Rajarajeshwari nagar in Bangalore the CM had a surprise on the way. He saw Gurunatha waiting for him on the road. Overjoyed on seeing Gurunatha CM got down from his car offered respects and said.. “What shall I offer you? You had declined to meet me at your house, now you have come all the way to see me. If I get a chance to stay in your house for one hour or get a glass of water from you I shall feel privileged”. Gurunatha agreed, gave his blessings and distributed fruits and eatables to his entourage and left the place.

Guru is an ocean of compassion; we just need to have the patience to wait for his graceful glance.
