"My daughter has a snake bite. All efforts to save her have failed."
"But ... I am not a Mantrik!"
"You may not be. Yet I have full faith in you! Only you can save my child!"
"All right. I come if it is possible to save somebody's
life.”
In all good intentions the good Muslim went with that man.
The girl was totally unconscious. Mantriks felt hopeless and helpless. There was no way to save her. Under these odd circumstances, the good Muslim chanted the Navakara Mantra and sprinkled water on her. A great miracle took place. The poison in the body disappeared. The girl got up from her bed as if in a new birth. All were delighted and thanked the good Muslim. All said : "Unique is this good turn!"
Feeling compassionate towards an offender, a criminal is not a small matter. Rare are such noble persons to come across in this world!
The Navakara Mantra is eternal, its effect is simply wonderful. In the scriptures we come across so many examples that stress its magical effect. What is necessary is unstinted faith in the person who chants the Mantra. No worldly considerations of doing a good tum or superfluous attitude, a confused mind etc. should come in the way.
In the present day, man is devoid of faith, of confidence; we seek immediate reward. We think only of worldly rewards. We gain as we desire.
We have hours to spare for other Mantras, but find no spare time to chant this sacred Mantra. When our revered preceptor asks: "Do you chant the Navakara Mantra?"
