80. Pigeon And Navakara Sadhvishri Archanashriji, a Pupil of Upåpravartini
Shri Agnavartini Maharaj
(1) Once two young ones of a pigeon fell down from the upper floor and were injured. They were struggling for survival. I gave to the two pigeons the shield of Shri Navakara. They got revived and became absolutely normal. They got so very much attached to me that they would follow wherever I went. Really, inconceivable indeed is the effect of the Navakara Mahamantra.
(2) Once in 1972, a Jain gentleman arranged a lecture by our worthy preceptor in view of the programme of Akhanda Japa at his residence. Due publicity was given in the town, but it began to rain heavily at night.
At 9 a. m., the rains were on. Then the gentleman, who felt disturbed, approached our Gurujini Maharaj and said that all charm was lost. "All my desires have failed," he added. Then our Guruniji Maharaj said : "Don't you worry. I shall reach your place exactly at 10 a. m.”
After the gentleman left, our Guruniji Maharaj took to the Japa of the Navakara Mantra. The lashing rains came to a stop and there was bright sunshine. This is the miracle that the Mahamantra brought about!
