My Life is Saved!

One year I joined a team of boys who were hiking up a mountain in Slovenia. It was at the last minute that I decided to join the team. Unfortunately, being inexperienced in mountain hiking, I did not take sufficient water and I became dehydrated. The long and the short of it was that I had to be taken down off the mountain because I became so sick. I called Hiranmoyi and told her I was sick, but I myself didn’t know how really sick I was.

Finally in desperation I called Vinodini in England and asked her if she thought there was any way that I could be airlifted to England. She became extremely worried and called Hiranmoyi, who raced to the Aspiration-Ground to tell Guru. Guru told Hiranmoyi to immediately go to Slovenia to get me and bring me home.

When Guru saw me the night I arrived in America, he told Hiranmoyi that there were death forces all around me and that I was not to see anyone or do anything for 13 days and nights. That night I thought I was having a heart attack and I was rushed to the hospital, although they found no evidence of anything. During this time, Guru told Hiranmoyi to pray for me with utmost devotion since I was too ill to pray myself.

Gradually I recovered and Guru later told the disciples that the Supreme had listened to Hiranmoyi’s sincere prayers. I have never forgotten this experience and my gratitude to Guru (with a little help from Vinodini and Hiranmoyi!) for saving my life.

I forgot to mention something very important. I was in such a hurry to leave for the trip that I forgot to ask Guru if he felt it was appropriate for me to go at all. If you inwardly or outwardly have a Master, always seek his advice before doing anything – especially something so potentially dangerous!
