Apaghaat Bhaya Jaee I Tale Akaal Maran I
Sankatat Madat Hoee I Mile Manaadhar II
(We are rid of the fear of accident and untimely death never befalls us. We get help in every difficult moment. He gives us the strength of mind)
This is an experience that explains the underlying meaning of these words.

It was Gurupournima day on July 11, 2006. My father boarded the  Borivali train at Vile-Parle station. He did not know have the faintest idea about things that were to come his way. As the train approached Jogeshwari station, there was a loud noise. For some time, he did not understand what was happening around him. There was a bomb blast in his compartment. There was massive chaos around him. The intensity of the bomb blast was so huge that the metal sheets in the compartment were ripped apart. People were thrown all over the place. My father was also thrown out and was on the railway track. However, my father who had stepped out to take darshan of his beloved Sadguru was taken care by Bapu he had no wounds except for some  small bruises.

People were running helter-skelter. First aid was provided to people. The rescue operation began in full swing. In the nick of time, a person walked up to my father and asked about his well-being. My father told him that he needed to go to Khar to Happy Home where his Sadguru lived. My father had lost his money and the person who asked him seemed to be poor. Therefore, both of them walked from Jogeshwari to Happy Home,Khar. Later Dr. Paurassinh Joshi (Bapu’s son) came down. He enquired about my father’s well-being and made arrangements with the help of security staff to reach my father to my sister’s house at Sion.

It was only due to the never ending love and blessing of my Sadguru Bapu that my father was saved from such a calamity. Bapu runs to rescue his bhakta in fact he gave him a new lease of life.

This is how my Sadguru stands right behind every bhakta and protects him. We have experienced His unfathomable strength.

(Now O Sadgururaya! Grant me just this one wish. May I never stray from your path. You alone be my father, my mother every single birth. May Your name O Aniruddha, be always on my lips.)
