23. You Become Now a Millionnaire of
Shri Navakara
Hasmukh C. Shah E, Simla House, 203 A, Second Floor Off Napean Sea Road, Bombay-400 036
I am the son of Shri Chimanlal Bhogilal, a nephew of the worldly life of revered Pundit Bhadamkaraji M. S. In Samvat 1965, Shri Maharaj Saheb had his Chaturmasa in a village adjoining Jamkhambhalia. I had gone there for Paryushan. Saheb Shri seated me near him and asked : "Hasmukh! You run here and there so much. Do you earn anything or not?"
I replied : "Saheb, I toil for whole day and earn 250 rupees with great difficulty."
He replied : "Your lot will be the same till your former sins are annihilated. For these sins, Navakara is like an atom bomb. It can, at a time considerably destroy sins and new sins will not bind you. The result will be that the balance of merit (Punya) will be on the rise. All things desired will then move around you."
The matter was to my immediate liking, I said : "From to-day, I come to the refuge of Shri Navakara Mantra. Give me your blessings."
He advised me to chant and count one full mala of Navakara and thus gave to me a gift. He sang every Pada and I repeated. On completion he blessed me and said : "Chant this Navakara for full six months. You will certainly rise up, dependent though you will be on the Navakara.”
