7. Navakara-An Inconceivable
Chintamani
Muniraj Shri Amarendravijayji M. S.
The marvellous incident and its analysis are taken here as an extract from the book "Achintya ChintamaniNavakara❞ with thanks. The photograph of Shri Gulabchandbhai was presented to us by members of his family. Shri Gulabchand died some six years back. The incident is narrated in his own words as follow:
"
I was suffering from cancer that was growing more and more serious and acute day by day. There was no hope of recovery. There was absolutely no hope of recovery. Food could not be taken; water could not be taken since the last five days. Thirst and pain were simply unbearable. The course of penicillin injections was on. This injection was given every four hours.
It was at that time that all of a sudden a thought as if twinkled in my mind. I was reminded of these words heard years back.
"Man might not have taken to religious works during the whole life. Yet, if one remembers and chants the Navakara Mantra at the last moments after begging the Jivas. Forgetting all enmities and forming friendship with all the Jivas, then one's Atma progresses and marches on the right path (Sadgati)."
Therefore, for Sadgati, I immediately started the chanting of this Navakara Mahamantra. I told the doctor, "I need no medicine, not even injections."
