Chapter 126 :  Guru, the healer

It is often said a goat eats anything it wants to.. Likewise there was not a skill/ trait our Gurunatha did not know/possess. The remedies he used to suggest were easily accessible to even the common man.

Once a lady who was staying close to Sakharaya Patna came to Gurunatha and explained her peculiar problem. She was in tears and started like this... “Sir, whenever I go out of the house crows come and bite me. It has become difficult for me to venture out of the house, please suggest a remedy”. Gurunatha immediately got some flowers and got it distributed among the women who were walking on the road. The lady asked what the reason behind the problem was, Gurunatha explained she was being troubled by an evil spirit and he assured that she will not face a similar problem again.

When Gurunatha went to a devotee’s house in Chickmagalur, they got one young person who was suffering from Sarpa Suttu (Herpes). He was crying out of pain and discomfort. Gurunatha immediately got one Janivara (sacred thread), got it drenched in deepam oil and asked it to be tied around the waste of the boy. It was already evening by the time it was done. Surprisingly by next day the boy’s condition had improved a lot.

In another instance, Gurunatha was returning home from a famous Shiva temple in Malenadu in a car belonging to a devotee in Chickmagalur. On the way he stopped at Chickmagalur and visited another young devotee’s house. This devotee’s wife was suffering from very high fever. Gurunatha told her..”See it has been more than 3 days since I left my house, I will go to my house once and then come back and take care of your ailment”. With these words Gurunatha came back to Sakharaya Patna and returned to that devotee’s house in Chickmaglur the very next day. He mixed some cooked rice and milk with his own hands and gave it to devotee’s wife. He assured her that she will be alright and went away. Within few hours of this, she was completely alright, much to the relief of everyone around.

Sadguru will not only heal the ailments of the physical body but will also impart devotion and knowledge to his devotees which will help the devotee break the transmigration loop (cycle of births and deaths) through Sadhana. Those who manage to win over this transmigration loop are said to have won over ‘Bhava’ and the Guru who guided them is called ‘Bhava roga vaidya’.
