60. Wooden Plank did not move at all
Revered Munishri Pradhan Vijyaji Maharaj, Dhoraji
In the course of my worldly life, I went on pilgrimage to Jaisalmer with Shri Manilal Jhinabhai Vora. One more Marwadi gentleman was also in our company. He raised a quarrel with Manibhai and took him to the police chowky. I also accompanied. The police gave a severe beating to Manibhai. Then they arranged a log of wood and were about to beat him again. Then it was that I touched the end of the wood and recited the Navakara Mantra again. The police tried very hard to remove the log of wood. But, thanks to the grand effect of the Navakara Mantra they failed. They got tired and sought the pardon of Manibhai and myself.
Grip of the ghost removed In Samvat 2005, in the town of Sami, during the course of Chaturmasa, one Sadhu Maharaj Shubhamkaravijayji by name, was in the grip of a ghost. When the ghost would possess him he would grow very strong, awfully strong. We had then to close him up in a separate room. A Goraji Maharaj was summoned.
He said : "The ghost is very much powerful. I shall charge Rs. 500. But I can come only in the month of Aso during the Navaratri holidays. Once that ghost had given a kick to my guru Shri Vinaychandraji. I then apologized. I sought his permission and started chanting the Navakara. I entered that room and gave a good beating to him. Thanks to the grand influence of Shri Navakara Mahamantra, the ghost left the body of Munishri that moment itself. Munishri regained his normalcy.
