The Challenge of Modifying Karma

In 1963, while I was walking with Guruji (Swami
Paramananda Saraswati), he told me that in old age I will
have serious trouble with my legs. In 2000, thirty seven years
later, I was nearly crippled and no doctor in Delhi or Lucknow
gave me even one percent chance of recovery. They said that
I would never be able to walk ever again in my life.
Smt. Bijoya Chakrabarty, the Water Resources minister (BJP leader
from Assam) in the cabinet of Atal Bihar Vajpayee had got me
examined by big doctors. I had given her a prediction about
her victory from Assam and becoming a minister. She came to
meet me again in 2006 and when she saw me walking without even
a walker, she stared at me with disbelief and describes it all
now as the eighth wonder of the world! No leading doctor had
given me one percent change of recovery she keeps saying now.
But she had not told me of the gloomy diagnosis of doctors then.
I was one of those fantastic cases of a patient who was given
no medicine. I recovered through prayers only. I do not quote
such personal examples but here I have to since I emphasize
that one must do it, offer prayers, oneself. I did my Guru Mantra,
Vishnu
Sahasranama, Narayana Kavacham, lying on bed, violating
all Vaishanava rules of shuchi or cleanliness. I recovered partly
and can walk without a stick, climb stairs but cannot walk now
for five miles at a stretch. In 1957, I had gone trekking to
Rohtang Pass in a continuous walk of many hours, covering 36
miles at a stretch!
My students who have seen my condition in 2000 and see me now
have started believing in Vishnu
Sahasranama and Narayana Kavacham and some of them do it
now, having learned the recitation of these with me.
Similarly, Guruji had told me in 1963, about a young man of
twenty one years that he was born with a rogi shareera (sickly
body) but that would not affect his longevity! By 2007 that
young man now sixty five years old has been hospitalized at
least fifteen times, excluding the period when he had to remain
to confined to his bed at home which may be more than twenty
times! Nearly thirty five such attacks of sickness, illness
accident etc. in a period of forty years is what I am witness
to.
In my book, Yogis Destiny and the Wheel of Time, I
did not confine my discussion to only Guruji but wrote about
other saints to show how this great spiritual current flows
all over India. I revealed only twenty percent of what I have
been a first hand witness to. It is my luck that I met such
great mahatmas. They have never said that karma phala or results
of karma can be liquidated so easily. One has to reconcile to
fate cheerfully.
This is what an astrologer can see and prepare people to face
- life with its enigmas of bliss and pain, the duality of joy
and torture which is what human life is. If an astrologer claims
that he can wipe it out, what he is doing is talking against
our own scriptures, the great preachings of mahatmas, and great
examples like that of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa or Ramana Maharshi.
I know many more such examples and in not a single case of those
suffering mahatmas was there any lack of the divine ecstasy
which they enjoyed and gave to their disciples experiences of
ecstasies in ample measure. They had risen above their body
consciousness, that transcendental stage which is a fiction
to the stupid western scientist because in their countries they
can never see such examples.
