Divine Experience

“Jai Gurudev! This is one of the 100 experiences of Mr. S. K. Sharma (Mantoo) from New Delhi.It was mid of May some 25 Years back and Swamiji was in New Delhi to give pravachan. Guruji was staying on our First floor house room. It was afternoon and I was sitting with Guruji. Guruji told me to get him glass of water and I immediately went down and brought glass of cold water for him. As soon as I reached the last step of stairs of first floor I noticed thousands and thousands of honey bees hovering over the veranda of first floor. I got shocked to see so many bees and I noticed that I was unable to even see Guruji standing just across the veranda because of huge number of bees between us. I slightly hesitated and started looking towards Guruji for instructions. Guruji told me Mantoo beta do not get scared as bees were also living beings. He told me a mantra and asked me to chant the mantra and bring water to him. I immediately started chanting the Mantra and in a while started walking towards Guruji with Lacs of bees all around me. I kept on chanting the Mantra till I reached Guruji and was surprised to note that not even a single bee touched my body while I was walking towards Guruji’s Room. When I reached Guruji I asked him reason of bees not touching me while I was surrounded by Lacs and Lacs of them. Guruji explained that every siddha Mantra undoubtedly has strong effect but it is the personal strength of person who is chanting Mantra to have true faith and devotion in words he is chanting. Guruji explained that when you are chanting words your body starts producing antibody secretions which the bees do not like was the reason no bee came near me. He further said that it was my belief and true faith in Guruji which kept my inner feelings very strong to make the mantra do its job and also gave strength to the inner of my system to produce smell which repelled bees not to touch me. This is the same effect some anti repellent creams do when you apply them on body for keeping mosquito’s away from your body. Morale of this story is that on one side Guruji taught me importance of chanting mantra in right manner and on the other side, as he has a practical science background, he explained me the effect of mantra scientifically on our body and environment. He explained to me saying Mantoo, this is the reason Holy saints sitting and practicing in deep Jungles are not disturbed by wild animals. Saints who are practicing and are in dhayana while in Jungles are free souls not worried about wild animals and their bodies keep on excreting smells that keeps animals away. Jai Gurudev!”
