Chapter 63 : Strange remedy for swelling of the brain

Once this Charanadasa’s sister was suffering from severe back pain and headache. The headache was so bad that she would not let any one touch her head. Doctors were consulted and various scans were done. Doctors came to a conclusion that there was swelling in her brain which was playing havoc with her health. When Gurunatha was consulted he suggested a peculiar remedy. The remedy and her subsequent recovery would leave the entire medical fraternity mesmerized. She was asked to feed bananas to buffalos wandering by the roadside. Within weeks she made full recovery and till date she is leading a healthy life.

Another sister was fed up with the problems in a big joint family. When she started to explain her problems Gurunatha stopped her to assure “Relax, your husband shall construct a new house, I will personally oversee your house warming ceremony”. Though she was relieved by this assurance, in due course she forgot about this conversation.

It was around 2006-2007, one day Gurunatha suddenly put me the Charanadasa into a devotee’s car in Shivamogga along with various puja items and sent me to Bangalore. It was evening when we reached Nagarbhavi in Bangalore where my brother-in-law was constructing his house. All devotees gathered at the site and informed my brother-in- law about Gurunatha’s instructions that the house warming ceremony should take place on the same day. Plumbing work was going on at the site then. Though a bit taken aback by the sudden instructions, my brother-in-law stopped the work and made arrangements for puja in one portion of the house. Aruna parayana, Paduka puja and various other rituals were performed. It was 10.30 in the night when the “Griha Pravesham” finished. What was special was that ..the day on which my brother-in-law did puja to start the construction and the day on which Grihapravesham happened as per Guru’s instructions were same and both happened to be on Tuesday which is normally considered inauspicious to start anything new among commoners.

Later that night when everyone had left, my sister recalled that Gurunatha had assured her that he would personally ensure they construct a new house and move in.

Though the disciple had forgotten about the assurance, the Guru had kept his word.
