Death Met Its End . The brother of a heart specialist in Bombay got himself operated on the heart. The operation failed and the doctors declared him clinically dead. Following the custom of the hospital the doctors left from the back door of the theatre. This they did after declaring on paper that he was dead. Two hours passed, the relatives were totally restless. The brother-doctor was frightened; he could not give a reply to anybody. Then it was that all of a sudden a miracle was there. The patient got up all of a sudden and sat in his bed. All were awfully surprised.
Seeing people all-round, he asked : "Why have you all come together here?" He was then told of what had happened and one person added "Your operation of the heart failed and the doctors declared you dead. How is it that you have survived?"
The patient explained : " had gone to India to meet my Guru Maharaj."
His preceptor was none else but the great Adhyatma yogi most revered Pannyasapravara Shri Bhadramkarji M. S., who had rendered so many good turns to a number of Atmas. It is impossible to describe this in words.
Let us now see how the patient had acquired the Navakara from him. During the course of my tours abroad, he had heard my lectures on the Navakara Mahamantra and had several dialogues with me. Actually I had inspired him to receive the Mahamantra from my preceptor. He was therefore inspired to receive the Navakara Mahamantra from Shri Bhadramkaravijayji M. S. He came to India by plane for the purpose. He had vowed to take food and water only after this.
