Jai Gurudev,
As everyone knows, Guruji holds a special place in everyone’s heart. However, when it comes to meeting him, you might think he has millions of followers above you, and wonder how you would ever get the chance to meet him. You assume you would be just one in the crowd. But this is completely wrong thinking. He loves each one of us and has plans for everyone.
It was March, and I was living in Dubai, missing friends and family, feeling the weight of being so busy. In the back of my mind, I was thinking about meeting Gurudev. I was craving to have his darshan. It had been almost four years since I last saw him in Chandigarh during an Infinity Course. Since then, so many ups and downs had come into my life, and I was just sailing through it all. I was praying daily in my sadhana to meet Gurudev. Meanwhile, my husband had booked a very expensive hotel in Dubai for our wedding anniversary on April 29th.
On April 23rd, a Sunday morning, I received a call from our Art of Living teacher, informing me, “Neha ji, we would like to inform you that Gurudev is coming to Dubai on April 29th.” I was completely shocked, confused, awestruck, blessed, and happy all at once.
Within seconds, I realized that my husband had made that hotel booking, and I wanted to meet Guruji. How would this be possible?
I requested my husband to change the booking dates, and together we sent an email to the hotel department, requesting them to change our booking dates. It was a completely non-negotiable, non-refundable, non-cancellable, non-changeable booking.
You won’t believe what happened next. We couldn’t believe our eyes. We received an email confirmation back stating that our booking was not found in the system. We were super happy to read this. They confirmed that due to some system error, our booking was not found anywhere in the system. They requested us to please take our refund or book another property.
He is a magician! He is the power! He is Bhagwan! He is everything to us!
Jai Guru Dev!
What a Gurustory on Guru Purnima! He is the true magician whose mystery we cannot understand but savour the fragrance.
