Dr. Pramod Kumar Talwar

Dr. Pramod Talwar is son of Dr. Dev Datt Talwar, He had, prayed to Shri Nathji to pass him in his medical examinations at Bombay, and was pleasantly surprised when he passed with unexpected miraculous pass marks. He wished to go to America and pursue cosmetic surgery, but the Indian Government was loathe to grant permission, as this was considered a non-essential subject. He came before Shri Nathji and prayed earnestly before him and Shri Nathji’s miracle made the impossible possible. The man went abroad to become a surgeon of repute in later days. 

Shri Nathji appeared to have especially given his protection to the Talwar family. He had saved the life of Dr. Dharamvir Talwar as also that of his niece, Rekha Dodeja.
Dr. Dev Datt Talwar, the brother of Dharamvir Talwar, arrived in January 1984 for Shri Nathji’s darshan bringing his son with him who had incurable blood cancer.
He had asked Shri Nathji to take care of his son:

“Iskaa khyaal rakhnaa! Do take care of him.”

It was a measure of the Blessings of Shri Nathji that Dev Datt Talwar’s son lived for several years afterwards, despite the cancer, and later passed away peacefully. .

But both, Dr. Dev Datt Talwar and his surgeon son, Pramod Talwar, forgot Shri Nathji’s Kripa Divine Grace afterwards, and had only a minimal contact with him. This was also true of Rekha Dodeja and her husband as well.

Dr. Leslie W. C. Miles

 In January 1984 Shri Nathji's devotee Dr. R.B.Chavan, who was the Professor of Textile Technology. brings with him a certain Dr. L.W. Miles, who is a Professor at the Manchester University in England, under whom Dr. Chavan had studied.
The Divine Flow of Shri Nathji in English is marvellous to behold.
Both, Dr.Chavan and Dr. Miles, are touched to the core. Here are the teachings of Christ coming alive from the personality of Shri Nathji.
Dr. Miles stares in fascination, his soul captivated in a world of hitherto inexperienced spirituality. Dr. Chavan is greatly impressed. His Faith in Shri Nathji grows a hundredfold as he sees his Christian friend totally overwhelmed by Shri Nathji’s words.
Fortunately, Priya Nathji preserves that lecture on an audio cassette.
Later, when Dr. Miles had reached Manchester, he wrote to Shri Nathji and said:

“I had thought that the Grace of God existed only amongst Christians but I was surprised to see that Grace emanating from you. May your mission to give peace to the world succeed, for your personality transcends boundaries of race religion and nationality.”

Some years later, when Dr. Miles’ sister lay dying of cancer in a hospital, Shri Nathji sent him his famous writing: “A Message of Peace”.
Dr. Miles wrote back:

“Your pamphlet gave my sister tremendous consolation, and she was at peace during the last moments of her life!”

Robin Farquharson meeting Shri Nathji

In 1964 whenShri Nathji was in London. Shri Nathji and Pran Nath were driving in their Ford Anglia car at night when the car ran out of petrol. Since Pran Nath had to stay in the car to prevent its being towed away by the police, Shri Nathji took an empty petrol can and went in search of a petrol pump in the streets of London.
He stopped a tall Englishman and asked him where he could find a petrol pump. The man gave him directions, which were very complex, and Shri Nathji said in humour:
“Even if I were able to find the petrol pump, I would never be able to find my way back to the car!”
The Englishman was good enough to walk along with Shri Nathji to show him the way. As they walked together, Shri Nathji began speaking. He narrated a Persian Verse and explained its meaning to the Englishman:

“Gar falak kaare turaa barham zanad az jau marau
Jaamaa raa khayyaat saaazad kataa baihre dokhtan

“If the skies destroy thy plans do not despair,
For the tailor cuts the cloth only to sew it!”

The Englishman was startled. Shri Nathji had given him the answer to a complex problem that had been plaguing his mind. He was so impressed by Shri Nathji that he snatched the petrol can from his hand and apologized for letting him carry it for so long. He became very devoted to Shri Nathji and asked to see him the next day.
This was Shri Nathji’s method of interacting with the spiritually thirsty souls of the world. He had to go out into the streets of London in the dead of night with a petrol can in his hand in order to give his darshan and blessings to Robin Ferguharson!

  Robin Ferguharson asked Shri Nathji when he can come and meet Him the next day. So he had made an appointment to come and see Shri Nathji at 9 a.m. the next morning, and Shri Nathji was struck by the man’s punctuality even as he looked at the clock in his room. Shri Nathji described the man’s arrival as follows:
“The hand of the clock showed five minutes to nine, and then one minute to nine, and finally when the clock struck nine, there was a knock on the door–and there was Robin Ferguharson! Punctually at the appointed time! Not a second earlier or later!”
 

Shri Nathji admired his punctuality and will  always speak about it in His sermons

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reginald Robin Farquharson (3 October 1930 – 1 April 1973) was an academic whose interest in mathematics and politics led him to work on game theory and social choice theory. He wrote an influential analysis of voting systems in his doctoral thesis, later published as Theory of Voting,  and conjectured the Gibbard–Satterthwaite theorem together with the philosopher and logician Michael Dummett. Robin Farquharson was educated at Michaelhouse, Natal, South Africa, 1944–46. He earned a B.A. in South Africa from Rhodes University College, Grahamstown (1947–50). Subsequently studying at Brasenose and Nuffield Colleges, University of Oxford (1950–53), he obtained a second-class B.A. honours PPE degree. He was given a Research Fellowship at Churchill College, Cambridge in 1964. He also studied at the Sorbonne in Paris.

Theory of Voting was originally Farquharson's doctoral thesis but was deemed to be of such a high quality it was later published as a book in its own right. Although written in 1958, when his doctorate was awarded, it was eventually published in 1969, by Yale University Press. The main reason given for the delay in publication is that Farquharson insisted that the logical choice diagrams be printed in colour, which they eventually were, in black, white and red.

The book won the Monograph Prize in the field of Social Sciences, awarded by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Farquharson diagnosed himself as suffering from bipolar disorder (manic depression), and episodes of mania made it difficult for him to obtain a permanent university position and also resulted in him losing commercial employment. In later years, he dropped out of mainstream society, and became a prominent counter-cultural figure in late-1960s London. Farquharson wrote an account of his unconventional life in his 1968 book, Drop Out!, in which he described a week of being homeless in London.

Dewan Bahadur Amar Nath Nanda

 Dewan Bahadur Amar Nath Nanda was a highly distinguished personality of Pujab during British India. He was father of Shri Nathji's very important devotee Mrs. Shakuntala Mehra, who remained devoted to Nathji till the last breath of her life. Because of her devotion many members of her family got associated with Shri Nathji.  Her husband - Vaidraj Sudhanva was also devoted to Shri Nathji. Also her younger sister Raj Puri. And Shakuntala's daughter, Aruna Gupta and Shashi Katyal. Specially Aruna Gupta remained most devoted to Nathji. Later Aruna Gupta 's son in law Pramod Kapoor also becomes devoted to Nathji.

 Dewan Amar Nath Nanda (B.A., M.I.E.) was a highly distinguished civil and sanitary engineer in British India who served as the Sanitary Engineer to the Government of the Punjab during the 1920s and 1930s. He holds a significant place in the history of Indian engineering as a pioneer of public health infrastructure, municipal drainage, and early cooperative urban planning in the region. Throughout the 1920s, he rose to the peak of the Public Works Department (PWD) Sanitary Branch, frequently officiating and ultimately serving as the head Sanitary Engineer for the Punjab region. He oversaw extensive waterworks and regional drainage programs across major municipalities like Lahore and Multan. Dewan Amar Nath Nanda was one of the core foundational figures behind the creation of Lahore's famous Co-operative Model Town. In the early 1920s, he backed the visionary cooperative housing initiative alongside legendary engineer Sir Ganga Ram, facilitating the acquisition and engineering layout of what would become a model garden-suburb for the Indian middle class.

He was an influential, active council member and Vice-President of the historic Punjab Engineering Congress (established in 1912) throughout the 1930s, working alongside iconic Indian engineers like Rai Bahadur Ajudhia Nath Khosla. He served as a senior corporate member and leader within the Institution of Engineers (India), taking part in critical annual governance meetings shaping national engineering ethics and fee guidelines in the early 20th century. 

 Beyond Punjab, his engineering expertise was sought after by the princely state of Jammu, Kashmir, and Rajputana. He is credited with conceiving the first major modern water supply scheme for Jaipur. He designed the 110-kilometer-long pipeline from the Ramgarh Dam to Jaipur City. The project was completed under his guidelines and inaugurated by Viceroy Lord Irwin in 1931.

Later in life, his administrative and technical acumen led to his appointment to the high-level Delhi Improvement Trust Enquiry Committee. He worked closely alongside national figures like B. Shiva Rao to reform the chaotic post-partition urban development of New Delhi until his death in late 1950. He passed away on October 26, 1950

Jainson’s shop at Connaught Place

 

When Shri Nathji was staying in Delhi, He used to buy garments, specialy winter clothing from Jainson’s shop at Connaught Place. This shop is still located at E Block, 9, Middle Cir, Inner Circle, Connaught Place, New Delhi, Delhi 110001. 

It was started by the visionary Mr. Bimal Prasad Jain, as a retail outlet in the heart of Connaught Place in 1954. Its a popular clothing store offering a diverse range of readymade garments.

Justice Rangarajan

 Shri Nathji’s  along  Priya Nath, visited another advocate’s house at Sarvodaya Enclave, a certain Justice Rangarajan, for the Nagpur house problem. The advocate who speaks mostly in English is greatly touched by Shri Nathji’s personality, and wishes to meet him again for spiritual enlightenment.
Shri Nathji goes home later and records and re-records, very painstakingly, a long philosophical speech in English for the advocate, despite Priya Nath’s protest that he should not tire himself out to such a great extent. But Shri Nathji had been deeply touched by the man who said he needed Shri Nathji’s Blessings, and these were going out invisibly in the form of Shri Nathji’s words, which he had recorded on tape for him.

 During the 1975–1977 Emergency declared by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, veteran journalist Kuldip Nayar was arbitrarily detained under the Maintenance of Internal Security Act (MISA). Sitting on a division bench with Justice R.N. Aggarwal, Justice Rangarajan ruled in favor of Nayar. The bench held that fundamental rights still existed despite the Emergency, and citizens could not be detained without strict adherence to the law.
Even after the government released Nayar before the final verdict was read in an attempt to moot the case, a furious Justice Rangarajan insisted on delivering the judgment anyway, adding strong remarks that criticized government overreach.
Following the ruling, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's administration immediately transferred Justice Rangarajan to the Gauhati High Court.
