World Trade Centre Tragedy Rasila Sivani Bahrain
September 11th 2001 changed the history of this planet, but little did I know that it would change the history of our lives too. My younger sister's husband who had gone to work that morning in the world trade center was missing!! When I spoke to my sister, my heart started pounding, ready to jump out. These things only happened to others and in movies. This could not be happening to us! From then began our nightmare. My mind stopped functioning. All I could think of was Guruji ... Guruji ... Guruji, the almighty who runs my life.. my beloved master.
I immediately phoned him in America and told him everything. The hunt for my brother-in-law was on. It went on for days and days.Days became weeks and still there was no sign of him! Every police station, every hospital, every mortuary was contacted but to no avail. We were hoping against hope that we would find him somewhere, maybe in a state of coma or in a state of amnesia but alive - somewhere.
Knowing Guruji's powers I beseeched him to give us some direction. Till then my sister had not met him. The only balm to her hurt mind that I could offer each day was Guruji's name. I kept telling her not to worry because Guruji was there looking after us. Slowly he was becoming a pillar of strength for the entire family. Again when our anxiety became unbearable I rang him and begged him to share his insight. He said he couldn't see any positive news. My mind believed him but my heart was not ready to accept what was being indicated. The hunt had been on for days and days. Our hopes were diminishing as time went by. I rang up Guruji. I was desperate. Again I asked him the same thing - where could we find him? Where was he? By now we were prepared for the ultimate , but only if we could get some concrete proof!
