[We were discussing about the terrifying situation, held on 25th December, 1990]
On that day, the extreme misery and suffering of so many people made Guru Maharaj very sad . Moreover, those people met Guruji while leaving and said, ‘ Guruji, we suffered unbearable trouble coming here on your birthday_we passed the night awakening and getting wet !!”
These words made Guru Maharaj very much worried. Later in the evening, Murari Maharaj went to Guru Maharaj’s room and told Him about the suffering of so many people and said, “You use to say, ‘Mother Nature is in My hand, if I move My hand_ then the world will be in turmoil’, _ then this terrible rain could have been stopped by you ! If that was done, so many people would not have this trouble !!” Guruji replied “If you go against Mother Nature, She will not tolerate it ! You have to suffer the consequences!”.
After that, Guru Maharaj became silent and closed the door. Let the next incident be heard — “After Murari said those things, I began to feel a pain that can not be explained. And from there a rage arose ! May be it happened for a moment_but then it was seen that suddenly My room became bright with light and one by one my two Gurus – Ramananda Abadhut and Swami Baulananda appeared in the gross body. Besides them, three other mahatmas _ Babaji Maharaj, Sirdi Sai Baba and Hariharananda Giri also appeared !! My Guru Ramananda Abadhut turned his hand affectionately on my head and said “What are You doing !! You know how much the whole world would be affected if a little anger were created in Your mind !! We come to you so that the world may not be harmed by Your anger or rage. You calm down. It doesn’t suit you !”
Seeing them suddenly in my room, I became astonished for a while ! My previous thoughts also disappeared instantly. Then they said _ ‘Look, the fact is that Banagram is the work-ground, the land of asceticism. So it should not do festivals here- especially not in your lifetime !”
After saying these things, they left.
“For 12 years since the establishment of the Ashram in 1978, nature has accepted the festivals, and not only accepted it, but also helped to do it. Every year there would be strong wind and rain after the festival. This would have blown away all the rubbish including the used plates and the Ashram would have been cleaned by being washed the garbage by the rain water.”_Guruji told us afterwards.
