________________
Both times I spent five days in hospital. Nothing seemed to improve my condition. We even tried several ayurvedic and herbal treatments. Then Guruji entered into my life. My family and I went to visit Guruji at a friend's house, for the first time.
At this point, we did not know anything about Him. Guruji gave a lecture for about an hour. Frankly, I sat through it just waiting for it to get over, as I was only about 12 years old and I did not really understand what He was saying. My family and I had to leave the session a little early. As I was leaving, I went to touch Guruji's feet. He caught my head and held it down in His lap, with His hand on my head. I struggled to get free, as I had no idea of what He was doing. I now realize that He was giving me a special blessing.
After this point, there was a marked improvement in my health - my asthma improved dramatically.
I was never admitted in hospital after this and to this day, with Guruji's grace, my asthma is mild. In retrospect, I had no idea of what Guruji was doing at the time. However now that I have gained a little more of an understanding, Guruji's powers continuously amaze me. And I know that I have barely seen the tip of the iceberg.
