[ Now we were discussing about Guruji’s mother…..]
We were talking about Chakshanjadi’s mother(i.e Togorda’s mother) the previous day. Their house was situated in such a place, where ghost or spirit used to cause a lot of troubles there ! Off and on the ghost or spirit would appear and only a big head with two big eyes used to move round the yard ! Togorda was young then.So, of course, the rest of the siblings were much younger than him! They would get scared when they saw this, but when the mother would come out, the ghost would run away. Mother told Guru Maharaj (then Rabin) to sleep for one night in the upstairs room of their house (the room where the ghost was most active). Because a spiritually advanced fakir (their master) who used to come to their house, said to them before he died, “I shall not come anymore, but you don’t have to worry, a great Mahatma (spiritually advanced man) will come to your house soon and He will ease all your difficulties.”
As soon as Guru Maharaj started going their house, they realized that He was that very person(mentioned by the fakir). That’s why ‘Mother’ told Guruji to sleep in that room – so that the demonic nuisance would subside. But such an incident would happen – they didn’t even think!!! If they knew, they wouldn’t tell him to sleep in that room. Let’s Tell the story ->
Guru Maharaj said – “After dinner I conversed a little with Mr. Sattar. Then the work-weary body could no longer run, so I went to bed and I fell asleep instantly. Suddenly I woke up due to an inconvenience – it was as if someone was watching over me ! I looked at the window near my feet without moving – and saw many faces were looking at me, with utmost curiosity ! At first I thought they might be sneaky thiefs, who came out to steal ! Then I saw that one of them, like a strong-looking fakir, was chanting some mantra or doing other actions and was applying energy on me ! And the amazing thing was that without my permission, my body was automatically getting ready to resist or absorb that energy ! The short fight by applying internal energy continued for some time ! It was, just like you saw the Ramayana or the Mahabharata war on TV .
After a while I saw that he was pushing me so hard by applying his energy that it seemed like he would throw me out of bed. But the more energy he was applying, the more energy from my body was neutralizing it ! After some time, he became calm and powerless ! Then I came downstairs and went out to contact them. As soon as I came downstairs, I saw Mr. Sattar and ‘Mother’ were waiting there. They were worried if I was harmed . They were awaken – and the house was shaking when the short battle was continuing . Mr. Sattar even tried to get up but he could not. Then ‘mother’ ran and grabbed the Qur’an in her chest and started praying to ‘Allah’ for my safety. At that moment, the sound of ‘La ilahi illullah, Muhammad Rasoolullah’ started coming out of every brick of the house ! ”
However, begging from ‘mother’, the spirits again returned to ‘birth and death’ cycle and the house was free from the troubles caused by the spirits.
These incidents of Chakshanjadi have already been published in some different books by different writers in different ways (But it is true that all the ‘leela’ of God himself (Bhagwan Swami Paramananda) can never be fully expressed by one’s writing or saying ! Some has been hidden as a mystery !!) ! But I am now saying about a different incident about Chakshanjadi’s mother, that happened in the year 1989/90 during Guruji’s sitting.
Once, after bathing in the morning at Banagram Ashram, I had a little tiffin and went to the place of sitting(The attitude was like that if we would listen to that day’s sitting, we would become a ‘brahmajnani’ ( means who knows all the knowledge of universe). 25/30 people like me were sitting on the tarpaulin seat. But I was thinking that we were sitting on the highest peak of the Himalayas and Mahadev (Shiba) himself was in front of us ! In the meantime, when I was thinking that, He (Guru Maharaj) came out of His room and sat down in His particular seat. As soon as He sat, the ‘pranam’ began. ‘Pranam’ continued for ten or fifteen minutes ! Then the question and answer session started. But the sitting of that day did not seem to be right at all ! He was answering someone’s words, avoiding someone too – – – It was going in this way for a long time. Suddenly, in response to someone’s question, Guru Maharaj became worried and started to rebuke him. Guruji’s rebuke meant heart hitting rebuke!!! I am trying to say one or two sentences. “You are talking nonsense !! While taking initiation, you decided to follow the path indicated by the Guru? How much do you follow it ??? Don’t I know how you spend all the day ??” After then, continuously He started saying what the man did, what he said, how he spent his time ___ everything ! Just think what was the condition of that poor gentleman !!! In the midst of so many people __ all about him was leaked!!
However, the embarrassing condition of the gentleman did not last long, because Guru Maharaj, seeing that the person sitting next to him was smiling mildly, started to rebuke that man, leaving the first one. The same situation happened with the second man !! Then it was continuing to another one, his next one, his next one —— !!! Whom He started to rebuke…it was as if to peel his skin like a cucumber !! [The author(me) was not left out either, I didn’t know before that it could be insulted more without abuse !!! Absolutely my ears were turned hot. Of course, once I heard from Sabyada (Sabyasachi Manna) that Guru Maharaj Said, “What do you think of me? Am I a B.C?” Here if B.C is abusive word ___ then that abusive word is also blessed’.]
After rebuking everyone in a severe way, that time He said __ “Nothing will happen with you. Are you thinking if I will become happy if you sit in front of me wearing white clothes? Ignoring my words will make Mahamaya dissatisfied !” …etc. etc ! Everyone was sitting with their heads bowed ! No one was raising their head anymore ! [What I thought at the time of beginning of the sitting and what was our condition then!!]
At that very time suddenly Chakshanyadi’s mother appeared there !! She had just arrived, and from a little distance she had heard all the last words spoken by Guru Maharaj. As a result, standing in front of Guru Maharaj, she grabbed Guru Maharaj’s two cheeks with her hands and caressed them a little and in this way at first she enquired about Guru Maharaj’s health and also asked some other questions. Then she said “Dear! Why are you rebuking my children(we, who were sitting there) like that? Why will they become bad ?? They all are good. Are not they your children?? Then why will they become bad ? Certainly they all are blessed ! Those who have such a Father like you__ what do they become afraid of??”
When mother was saying these words, Guru Maharaj’s face was becoming changed ! The face turned reddish and He became like a child. He was then talking like a child with the mother !!
Mother still did not leave Him. She said to Guruji, “Dear! tell the devotees that they will become well . Cheer up them saying _’they will become alright’ ! Look at the plight of my children at your rebuke !! ”
Guruji started to do or say the same whatever the mother told Him to do like a little child !!
At the end of the sitting He said to us _”I am helpless to all these beloved mothers ! I compell to become a child in front of them ! Because they just love me, they only just love me and don’t want anything in return !! ”
