"You lead a life like that of an initiated person even without the actual Diksha. Why this Diksha then ? What will be our lot ?"
The news of the stealth of the Angi spread over the town, the Police Inspector was informed. We told him :
"This cannot be the work of any local person. It is therefore desirable that the entrance and exit of outsiders should be checked." They sat in a car to leave information at big stations."
There was no facility of telephone etc. then. The fact was that the thieves had reached on the four roads at Hasada. They wanted to run away to some other village.
They conjectured the car of the Police Inspector to be of someone else and asked it to stop. On seeing the unknown persons, the Police Inspector halted the car. One thief saw him and ran away. The other was caught red-handed. The Angi and crown were intact in his satchel.
On our return from Pratikramana, we got the happy news. All persons were simply spellbound.
This was really the power of the Navakara Mantra. The recovery of the Angi enhanced our delight and enthusiasm considerable.
Our Diksha took place in a very happy atmosphere.
Our benedictive prayer is that all may attain to the uplift of their Atma by the totally pure Sadhana of the Navakara Mahamantra.
