Guru’s Miracles are truly beyond Time, Space and Distance! Nilesh Gupta did the Part-1 course in July; travelled to Perth in August to do the Advance Course with Chris Dale, and did the Sahaj Samadhi Meditation in mid November in Sydney. Enthusiastically, as a devotee’s journey begins, we would meet frequently for Satsangs, discuss knowledge, and share Guru-Stories. Every week, we would struggle to find a follow-up venue – Calling Schools/Colleges/Temples/Community Centres’. Just then, Nilesh and his wife Charul decided to give a part of their warehouse for the Art of Living follow-up activities. Construction started soon, within a day of this thought manifesting in their minds. Amidst their busy business and house hold chores, both husband and wife devoted their time and efforts for Seva – arranging Intro talks, organizing follow-ups etc. Planning and execution was at its peak for the centre’s interiors, matching sofa, a big picture of Gurudev, a Knowledge Library etc. Filled with enthusiasm, both of them put their mind and heart into the inauguration of the centre with a beautiful Guru-Puja and Satsang by Chris Dale on the last day of their Sahaj Course. After travelling for around 45 km from the Sahaj venue, Nilesh rushed to the warehouse for decorating the centre, but just 30 minutes before the inauguration, Nilesh fell from a height of 7 meters, from a forklift, while putting some lights for the centre. What happened was truly tragic, but the only good thing in all was that Nilesh had retained his consciousness, and was smiling all through while his head and elbow were bleeding incessantly. But the people around had only one question in their eyes “How can this happen to him, he was the main organizer?” So we finally contacted Guruji, and HE replied “Don’t worry, he will be fine”. Soon, he was taken to the hospital. Meanwhile, the devotees at the centre continued with Om Namah Shivay chanting and prayers, followed by Guru Pooja, to uplift the environs. The Doctors at the hospital declared that considering the height from which Nilesh fell, it is no less than a miracle that he not only survived the fall, but was smiling too, with no major issues in the head/spine/ any of the vital body parts – except fractures in the elbow, knee and pelvis area. Divine Grace had saved him. Nilesh ji’s wife, Charul, sent this message: “Thank you all so much for the love and blessings you all have showered on Nilesh. We are so fortunate to be under Guruji’s shelter. After a fall from 7 meters, with no head and back injuries, our faith has become stronger in the Divine. The Art of Living has taught Nilesh to smile under all circumstances, even with shooting pain of multiple fractures. I am very positive that he will be fine and walking in a couple of weeks despite of doctors recommending couple of months. Charul JGD “ With such unshaken faith, Gurudev’s blessings and the immense love from the Art of Living family, everyone is sanguine that Nilesh shall be fine soon. The couple celebrated their 14th Marriage Anniversary in the Liverpool hospital on the 25th of November, with the loving presence of the volunteers around. We wish them many more years of blissful life ahead, to light up many more lives around by serving, caring and sharing in devotion. Also, it was the day of the first follow up at the Centre, and was a huge success with 25 people, and the perfect Knowledge Sheet on “Faith”. Truly – “Ups and downs are a Part of Living but Smiling through those ups and downs is the Real Art of Living” – Such is the Power of Knowledge, Faith and Grace that flows when a Master enters ones’ life. Jai guru dev.
