Jai Gurudev.

Jai Gurudev.

 

Because of Gurudev's grace, I had had the opportunity of attending a few sadhana

shivhirs (camps). In one of the sadhana shivhir, I had an experience that I

would like to share.

 

A bhajan was going on and Poojya Gurudev was seated on a neatly decorated asana

on the pandal. I was looking at our guruji when all of a sudden I felt the

things around me changing - Everything around me started turning dark and even

the bhajan that was going on appeared to have stopped. I could sense a pin

drop silence. Guruji's physical appearance started changing. He started

looking younger and his hairs were also long. The figure before me was now no

longer that of our gurudev Dr. Narayan Dutta Shrimaliji. I had read Swami

Yogananda's "Autobiography of a Yogi" about 4 years back. This book had a

rough picture of the Maha-avtar baba. I realized that the person I was looking

at (our gurudev) was none other than the Maha-avtar baba - his appearance was

exactly the same as that of Mahavtar baba's

picture. This glimpse lasted for a few seconds when I was (almost) completely

thoughtless. Then all of a sudden some thoughts arose in my mind and I ended

up putting a question mentally to our Gurudev - "What is happening?”. With

this the things started reverting back to "normal" and our gurudev was now

seated in the form of Dr. Narayan Dutta Shrimali and the same bhajan was going

on and the guru bhai's around me were enjoying the bhajan.

 

I was fortunate to have had this glimpse and I firmly believe that our gurudev

was none other than Babaji. From my earlier experiences, I knew Gurudev could

read our thoughts and answer our queries even if they weren't asked. I only

wished that I could have remained thoughtless then for a little longer....
