Shri Nathji had saved
the life of Raja Jagat who was on deathbed after a terrible motorcycle accident
in early 1930’s. His mother Rani Lachhmi, cried bitterly and begged Shri Nathji
to save his son. Shri Nathji was moved by the plight of that lady and saved
made his son rise from his death and gave him new life. This gave her immense inner
peace. Shri Nathji had saved him only to give peace and enlightenment to her
mother. Raja Jagat died after few years in 1934. By then her mothers heart was
at peace due to the blessings of Shri Nathji.
Rani Pritam Kaur was
the wife of Raja Jagat. She had intense faith is Shri Nathji. Her one chanting
in life was “Nathji, Nathji” and this went with her even upon death and beyond.
She lived in Sahaspur Bilani Estate, Muradabad. For this property she and also
her mother in law had to fight a long legal battle. Rani
Pritam Kaur entered politics and frequently sat for the Assembly Elections. She
use to write letters to Shri Nathji seeking His blessings for her political career.
In 1959, she arrived
at Allahabad and heard of Shri Nathji’s presence there. She wished to go for
His Darshan at once. But a devotee said
the He is not seeing visitors these days, so it would be better if you go at
some other time. Rani Pritam Kaur said that she know Shri Nathji. He will not
refuse to see a devotee who is thirsting after Him. I can say with assertion
that “Guru Kharrote milange! Shri Nathji would be on his feet waiting for me.”
At that time Shri Nathji was standing outside the chambers of his palace,
taking to some devotees. Even though the devotees brought a chair for Him and
asked Him repeatedly to sit down, He continued to stand and talk. The devotees
were surprised. Just then Rani Pritam Kaur arrived in her car accompanied by
others. She came running to Shri Nathji and fell at His feet, saying:
“O Nathji! You are
antaryami – you know everything! I had made this bold assertion that I would
find you on your feet waiting for me, and that is how you met me!” And turning
to the others she said: “Didn’t I tell you that Nathji would be waiting for me,
and on His feet.”
Shri Nathji said Rani
Pritam Kaur, now you know the extent of your own power – only devotion such as
yours could have made me stand and wait for so long! Not everyone has the power
to do as much!
There was the time when Shri Nathji had left the shores of India during 1963-1967 and was living abroad. Rani Pritam Kaur did not know where Shri Nathji had gone and searched for him in India with intense restlessness. She met saints and sages of renown who admired her faith in Shri Nathji but asked her to see Shri Nathji in them. However she refused saying:
“How can I see Shri Nathji in you? No one in the world can match the face of my Nathji!”
After Shri Nathji had returned to India and had settled down in Delhi at Sarvodya Enclave, there was a time in 1971 that Shri Nathji asked about Rani Pritam Kaur from Priya Nath. Both of them recollected that she had a house in Defence Colony in Delhi even though her permanent address was at Sahaspur Bilari Estate, Moradabad.
Shri Nathji expressed a desire to find her address, and, therefore, he and Priya Nath drove down together in their Standard car to Defence Colony. They went to the Post Office where the postmaster told them that they did not maintain a list of the addresses to which they delivered their letters, and said it would be impossible to locate a person by name in a colony where thousands of people lived.
Even as Shri Nathji and HH Priya Nath were driving away from the Post Office, Shri Nathji suggested that they ask a postman carrying mail whether he knew about Rani Pritam Kaur.
Much to their delight the postman was carrying the mail of Rani Pritam Kaur and gave them the address! It was nothing short of a miracle, and showed how Shri Nathji’s eagerness to meet a devotee could make the impossible possible.
Shri Nathji and HH Priya Nath reached her house and were taken into her bedroom where the Rani lay seriously ill. Rani Pritam Kaur received the pleasantest surprise of her life on seeing Shri Nathji.
She said:
“Nathji! Mujh badnaseeb ke ghar kaise aa gaye!
“Nathji, what made you come to the house of one so unfortunate as I!”
She was seriously ill and too weak to get out of bed to welcome Shri Nathji and Priya Nath. She called out loudly to all the inmates of her house:
“Are! Jaldi aayo! Bhagwan ghar aaye hain, darshan kar lo!
“Come quickly! God has come to the house! Come and have his darshan!”
Even as Shri Nathji sat on a chair placed close to her bed, she narrated her illness and the litigation that her enemies had initiated against her. She was confined to bed with pneumonia and paralysis.
Shri Nathji said to her:
“Rani Pritam Kaur, if you so wish you can be cured of this illness!”
And she replied:
“Who am I to dictate to you, O Nathji! I leave it in your hands. But it is my prayer that I may not be cured. Even if you cure me today, this last moment must come again later in life. And when it comes again, you may not be here. Now that I have set eyes upon you I can leave the world in peace!”
Shri Nathji was immensely pleased with her answer.
She said further:
“There is one thing that I would ask of you, however, and that is to place your feet on the bed, close to my hands, where I may touch them!”
Shri Nathji did so, and the Rani was at peace.
Shri Nathji spoke to her for a long time, and, after blessing her, left the place. He forgot his walking stick in the house, which her daughter Indra Mohini preserved and kept with her.
Later, news reached Shri Nathji that the valiant Rani had passed away in great peace and happiness, knowing fully well that she was going to the heavenly abode her Lord and Master had prepared for her.
It was thus that Shri Nathji gave a new life to some, and blessed others to go to the regions beyond, in a state of perfect peace and happiness, which was the envy of saints and sages.
Her daughter, Indira Mohini, continued to have the same faith in Shri Nathji that her mother had. She would always keep Shri Nathji’s walking stick with herself, and stand bravely in the elections. She would say:
“This stick keeps my enemies at bay!”
There was a time when she was to have a serious operation and took Shri Nathji’s stick inside the operation theatre, and fearlessly had the operation, which turned out to be a success.
