ETERNAL INDIA 24 - DIVINE INTERVENTION

( Dr. R. N. Gupta is an allopathic doctor who, having established some medical centres now devotes his full time to spiritual pursuits and got built the Sai Temple of Najafgarh New Delhi along with a rich businessman who wife experienced the grace of Shirdi Sai Baba. Dr. R. N. Gupta once told us that he was getting built a Vishnu temple also above the Sai temple. I and my other friends expressed a wish to do Vishnu Sahastranaam and Naamavali there one day after the temple had been built. There we met Mr. Baljeet Singh who experienced the grace of Lord Vishnu and got cured of what was an incurable disease according to Dr. R.N.Gupta. The narrative here is given by Sangeeta Parijat , the daughter of Dr. R.N.Gupta. Sangeeta a brilliant electronic engineer who also taught in Delhi university is a gold medalist of Jyotish Acharya of the Bharat Vidya Bhawan having topped in the examination. K.N.Rao)

The incident that I am narrating here is about my employee Mr. Baljeet Singh. He has been working for me since 1986. Somewhere in year 2001 he started complaining of severe back ache. I got his X-ray and CT Scan done and consulted many doctors. He was diagnosed with “Prolapse of Vertebral Disc”.

Doctors tried all possible treatments like weight traction, medications, plaster, exercise etc. but nothing worked. The severity of the problem continued to increase and eventually he was bedridden. Doctors said that his vertebras have started degenerating and it cannot be cured even by surgery.

He is the sole earning member in his family comprising of two small children, wife, parents and grand father. While he was on bed I continued to give him his salary and paid for his medical expenses. Periodically I would visit him to enquire about his wellness and see if he needed anything.

One day when I visited him he sounded very depressed and said it was very difficult to sit at home full day and do nothing. I suggested that if he wanted he could come to Sai Temple, Najafgarh whenever he felt low and be there for sometime, may be change of scene would help.

He started coming to the temple off & on and slowly started taking interest in the day to day activities of the temple. As time passed he started feeling better and took on more responsibilities to the extent that he was appointed the manager at the temple in year 2004.

His medicines gradually reduced and finally he could manage just with a support belt. At that time the construction of Shri Vishnu Temple was in full swing at the first floor of Sai Temple. He was assigned the complete responsibility of supervising the construction. He worked with all sincerity and got so engrossed with the cause that many a times he would stay all night long to take care of work at the temple.

The day came when “Pran Pratishtha” of the deity of Shri Vishnu Bhagwan was to be done. He left very late at night after taking care of all what was needed for the ceremony and came back early next morning. Full day he was running up & down the stairs of the temple.

At the end of the hectic day when the ceremony was over he suddenly realized that he had forgotten to wear the belt in the morning. He was very surprised because he felt no pain despite the heavy physical work load he had undergone that day. He went inside the Vishnu temple and did a “Sashtang Pranam” in front of the deity thanking the Almighty for curing him of his long suffered illness. From that day he has not worn the belt once and is running his life very comfortably without any pain in his back.

This is a miracle because as per medical science his vertebras had degenerated and no surgery or any other treatment could have corrected it. What would we call this if not the Divine Intervention of the Almighty to cure the sufferings of his devotee who had so selflessly served Him.
