“He’s God; living God on Earth.”
Did I believe it then? Not at all.
When that Uncle told me about Guruji many years
ago, I was as sceptic as anyone. Being a literate, worldly businessman, I
couldn’t just digest the notion that the man in the photo, which I was being
shown, was God.
The man in the photo had no hair on His head,
had a little squint in His eyes and a look of amusement on His face. God? Sure,
He looked smarter than the average Indian man, but no way did He look anything
like the picture of God I had in my mind! No long flowing hair, no snake around
the neck, no Ganges flowing from the head, no Trishul in His hand. How could this be Shiv?
Yes, I had a lot of speculations. But there was
one question that nagged me- if He really is God, can I afford to lose Him?
No, not a chance. And it wasn’t like anyone
could make a fool out of me just by entangling me with myths and lore. That’s
when I decided to go take a look, just in case. I had nothing to lose anyway.
