Jai SriRam
Koti koti Pranam to my Satguru Sri Nitin Dada.
This is my story. In the year 2014 I faced a calamity which I had never imagined. For a few months I was having breathlessness. Actually I could not identify that it was breathlessness since I had never experienced it. Finally in the month of May even walking a few steps became painful. A chest x-ray revealed that the left side of my chest was filled with fluid. I was admitted to a hospital. The chest physician who was treating me had a strong suspicion that I had cancer and ordered a biopsy. My entire world came crashing down. My family and me were extremely frightened and confused. There were only questions with no answers in sight.
At that time Sri Nitin Dada was visiting our aunt Prafulla Gaitonde in Pune. She broke the news to Nitin Dada. She told Him that there was bad news to which he replied that no news is bad. Nitin Dada started from Pune to come to Mumbai. Before leaving He told Prafulla Kaki, "The job is done". (Later Prafulla Kaki would always quote Him and tell me that now you have nothing to worry about.)
Nitin Dada started from Pune and came straight to the hospital to see me. Before that I had met Nitin Dada a couple of times and I was immensely happy to see Him. I told Him what the doctor had said and He said to me, no matter what my reports say I would get well. However He said that I should never forget what has been done for me. He emphasised that I should take Naam constantly even after the work is done. Even as I write this I have tears in my eyes when I remember His immense compassion and kindness. In the hospital Nitin Dada looked after me and my husband Chaitanya like we were His children.
My biopsy was done and it was diagnosed that I had stage 4 cancer. I was prescribed 6 cycles of chemotherapy. After my first chemo, Nitin Dada came to my residence to see me . He touched my forehead and His signature fragrance started wafting from my forehead. The fragrance remained for a few hours. After 4 cycles of chemo I had a scan which showed that my body had completely responded to the treatment and was disease free. I still had 2 more chemos after that.
Nitin Dada says that doctors give the medicine but it is Maharaj/God who gives the cure. During my treatment my haemoglobin level used to go way below the normal level. I asked my doctor once whether I could bring it up with changes in my diet. The doctor looked at me and said quietly, 'no, you cannot do anything'. The mind is so ignorant that even after facing such an extreme situation it is not ready to give up its doership.
Cancer is a deadly disease but the treatment is even deadlier. No doctor is able to give the assurance that one will get well. Nitin Dada not only looked after me but also my family and kept them healthy and safe. I do not know how to thank Him. I am very happy to be indebted to Him forever. As He says everything happens for a reason.
I am eternally grateful to Him for giving me a place at His feet.
Jai SriRam.
