The Young Student

April 15, 2008

When my sadhanas started to succeed for real, I needed something to

test my capabilities. I got it sooner than I thought.

This boy was about to be thrown out of school. Though his parents

tried everything they could, he simply didn't have the ability to

learn further. When his parents approached me, I was prepared to

refuse to help them; but the boy's innocence was irresistible. Since

his parents were willing to bear the expenses, all I needed to do was

to put in my efforts in a six month long Mahavidya anushthan. The

boy's future was at stake; therefore, I decided to teach him as well.

As the anushthan progressed, things started to change - slowly but

surely. In the first month, he developed a keen interest for studies;

during the second and the third month, he learnt and remembered

things a whole lot better; the fourth month made him self-confident

and the fifth made him ambitious; by the time the anushthan reached

completion he was an altogether different person - eager to do

whatever it takes to win. With fire in his eyes, this former looser

not only topped, but also set record for highest marks in all

subjects.

I don't know what made this miracle possible - my anushthan, his hard

work, Gurudev's blessings or a perfect blend of all these. The

anushthan was a crucial milestone for both of us.

The blessing of Gurudev and the Goddess are still with him as he is

heading towards a promising career.
