Chapter 145 :  This flower shall make you write everything

A boy who also happened to be Gurunatha’s distant relative was visiting Gurunatha’s residence very often. Their family’s financial status was very average. He had good relations with everyone at Gurunatha’s house.

Since I came to Gurunatha’s house, I knew him and his elder brother. Both were pious, quite reserved and would not talk much. Recently when I met him, he recounted one incident in his life with me like this...

“I was studying engineering then, I had one difficult subject, whatever I did, I could not grasp even a bit of it. During my exam time I learnt that Gurunatha had come to Bangalore, I met and bowed to him. As there were too many devotees I did not get an opportunity to talk to him. Meanwhile, Gurunatha sent all of us to do paduka puja at Mysore. It was I am when we returned. The following morning as soon as I got up, I went directly to Gurunatha and told him, “Gurunatha, today I have this exam. This subject I have not understood even a bit. How much ever I try, it does not seem to get into my head. I am confused what to do. I thus explained my helplessness.”

Then Gurunatha took a flower that was put on a photo of Chandra Shekhara Bharthi seer in that devotee’s house. Giving the flower to me... he said “just keep this flower with you, this flower will make you write everything”. With these words of assurance he sent me back.

I went to the exam without reading anything, I have no idea what I wrote, and I do remember I did write something though. But, I got good marks in the subject and passed it. Today if I am a lecturer it is because of Guru’s compassion only. He is with me in every step of my life. He concluded his experience with these words.

What this Charanadasa has observed over a period of time is that to all devotees Gurunatha used suggest... keep reciting ...”Chandrasheskhara Pahimam, Chandrashekhara Rakshamam” or keep writing it, He will make your path trouble-free.
