Chapter 67 : Three weddings

Gurunatha was adept at fixing time for auspicious functions. Without looking at any calendars (almanac), birth charts suggesting dates for his devotee was his specialty.

A devotee originally from Sakharaya Patna but residing in Bangalore had wanted to construct a house. Knowing this one fine day Gurunatha along with his sister went to this devotee’s rented house in Bangalore, took him along to the construction site. Gurunatha got his sister to perform the necessary puja to start construction. This happened on the new moon day which is actually considered inauspicious to start anything. The devotee has since moved in to the new house and is leading a peaceful and happy life there.

Once Gurunatha had found an alliance and fixed the marriage date for a devotee’s sister in Banavara. The marriage was to take place in Bangalore. He arranged for another marriage on the same day at 4.30 am for the son of a Bangalore based devotee and the bride was from Sagara. Gurunatha was personally present at these

marriages. While there he got two families who had come for the above marriage to talk to each other and strike an alliance. Not stopping at that he made sure the marriage took place around 6.30 am on the same day in his sister’s house!

He started immediately to Sakharaya Patna from there and was seen resting in his house in Sakharaya Patna at noon as if it was any other normal day. Only an all capable force can achieve such a feat isn’t it?

Gurunatha had a great respect for the famous advaitha peetha. Likewise, the seer on that throne was also equally affectionate towards Gurunatha. Gurunatha had got the peetha’s name written on his own house and was heard repeatedly saying “Everything that was his, belonged to the peetha”.

Every year it had become a practice for the seer to come and stay with Gurunatha for a day or two. Probably during his second visit, suddenly thick clouds gathered around and it started raining. One of the seer’s followers came to Gurunatha and asked him, “It would be a problem for the function if it rains isn’t it?” Gurunatha smiled at him and asked “would you stop the rain?” Having said that, he asked me to get a coconut, touched it and giving it back to me asked me to roll it down the street. I did as instructed. Within a few minutes, the clouds disappeared and it was clear blue sky again. Everyone gathered there was amazed at what had happened.

Gurunatha always used to say “Everything should be his(God’s) and he should be yours. Nothing should happen as per your wish, everything should happen according to his wish, only then the man will not lose his senses”
