New Delhi, India: May 6, 2008 – Released by Federation of God Believers –Before my father could say anything, the Saintly Person said, “Don’t suppose who am I” just tell me why don’t you go inside the temple?” He interrupted in such a way that made my father blank about the query in his mind, even though my father’s memory was photogenic, he forgot his query as if hypnotized or attention diverted.

My father replied that the temple Chief Organizer refused to permit his wife to have the glimpse (darshan) of Lord Krishna in the temple despite his earnest request.

Without replying to my father, the Saintly Person went inside the temple and returned after a while and advised my father that the organizer of the temple looked to be quite tough and would not allow your wife to go inside.

In the same breath, the Saintly man further advised my father, better take his wife home. What about Darshan of Lord Krishna? “Leave it to Him”, he replied. Don’t waste time; go home immediately; the mahurat (the auspicious time) is passing. My father felt as if he were mesmerized by that saint, he just felt mum, my mother who was also listening everything was similarly felt silent for a while.

However, addressing my mother the saint blessed on her head and said, (words to the effect): “Pay respect to Lord Krishna at home.”  He then moved towards my father and said, (words to the effect), “Take your wife home without wasting time. The saint did not enter the temple, but disappeared somewhere through the front main road.

My father and mother were looking at each other, not knowing what to do and what not to do, whether to obey the saint and go home or wait at the temple? They were stuck between the lines.

After recouping his wit, my father asked my mother better to go home. My mother said it wasn’t possible immediately, “With great difficulty we have come through a hired tonga (horse carriage) with a special rearrangement with him to fetch us back after the function was over. If we wish to go home now, how shall we be able to move unless we find another tonga, and that’s quite difficult now.” “Even otherwise, we have already committed to our tonga driver to come after one and a half hour or so.”

My mother continued: “What’d happen to the tonga driver when he doesn’t find us here?  Moreover, it shall not be fair for us to ditch the tonga driver like this. So, it would be better to wait.”

My father replied, “When the tonga driver comes to our house, we shall compensate him for his additional trip.” But my mother said, “Where is another tonga available, how can we go?”

My father also felt helpless and dropped the idea to move home immediately, since it wasn’t possible for them to go back without proper conveyance for his wife, my mother. Thus my father decided to wait till the old tonga driver arrived who was committed to take them back.

It was a long waiting for the tonga driver and meanwhile they had no regret since my mother was to stay at the Temple Main Gate till the symbolic auspicious birth of Lord Krishna took place. So they stayed there and decided to wait, nothing else to think, they decided.

To their surprise, just after a while the same Sainlty Person came by some a special decorated tonga and asked my father that if he liked he could use his conveyance and he would help him in lifting his wife on the backseat of the tonga and take home?.

My parents was overjoyed and hastily agreed to the proposal by the Saintly person. The Saintly man helped my mother and lifted her to sit on the back seat of the tonga with my father. The Saintly man sat on the front seat along with the tonga driver  keeping my mother’s chair on his lap.

After about 15 minutes, they reached home and the Saintly man helped my father in getting down my mother comfortably and made her to sit on the chair. My father asked the Saint to hold the chair of my mother till he opened the lock of the house to get in. The Saintly Person co-operated with my father, as desired.

Incidentally, I was still awake and came out of neighbor’s house and called my sister and brother to come out, they, except my youngest sister Raj Kumari who was sleeping there. All of us were sitting and listening to the stories of Lord Krishna from the neighboring aunt.  My elder sister and brother both came out of the neighbor’s houe to help take my mother inside home. At that time, I was about 13 years of age and my brother over 15.

My brother helped my father in carrying mother inside home and I was left out. My father asked the Saintly Person to come inside and bless all of them. Without waiting for the reply from the Saintly man, my father along with mother and brother went inside.

The Saintly Person blessed me and put his hand on my head and asked my name, and when I said “I am Baldev,” he embraced me.  I felt for a moment as if Lord Krishna Himself had hugged me and just in seconds he went away by his tonga.

When my father came out, he enquired about the Saintly Man; I told that uncle had gone. On hearing this, my father was disappointed for not finding him there. He tried to search for him running after him for a few yards, but the Saintly man had already gone out of sight.
