Divine Experience
“I would also like to share how, during my first-ever visit to Angareshwar – Guruji taking on the form of a village volunteer, had helped me reach his Ashram. I only knew that Gurudev had settled at a small hamlet named Angareshwar near Bharuch town on the banks of holy Narmada. I did not know that Bharuch was not a big city and not all trains had been assigned a stoppage there. Hence, I boarded a super fast train that did not have a stoppage at Bharuch. I went to sleep at night. When I woke up in the morning, I saw that the train was stationery at Bharuch station. In haste to alight the train fast, I requested my co-passengers to help me with my luggage and I alighted the train. But all the time, I was baffled at the thought that a super fast train that did not have a stoppage at Bharuch had not only stopped there but also remained stationery till I woke up and alighted! As if the train had some divine instructions to do so! I used the station’s waiting room to get fresh. Meanwhile, a man came and asked me,”Where do you want to go?” I said I wanted to visit Angareshwar and he replied that even he was going there. We decided to go there together. On reaching Swamiji’s “Paramhans Kutir”, he remarked that Guruji was inside and asked me to go in. I entered the Kutir and was delighted to see the divine bodily form of Guruji, radiating so much of positivity. On seeing me he remarked joyfully, “Oh Prannathji, how did you reach here?” I replied, “One gentleman was kind enough to escort me here”. Guruji asked me to call him in too. I came out of the Kutir and looked for him, but he was not to be seen around. I was surprised, but thinking that a person could not get far away in such a short time, I searched for him on all sides, but could not locate him. I understood that it was all Guruji’s divine way of helping me reach his abode without hindrance or problem.”
