Prime Minister of England, James Callaghan



Shri Nathji met former Prime Minister of England, James Callaghan and his wife at the wedding of the son of Shri D.N.Sinha, his devotee, whose association with Shri Nathji had lasted over fifty years.
Though the night was bitterly cold, and the wedding on the 24th of January 1982 was being held in the open and Shri Nathji had barely recovered from the strain of the Birthday celebrations of Babaji, he had still wished to grace the wedding with his presence and to bless the couple.The guests at the wedding were astonished at the appearance of Shri Nathji. The lights and illumination paled before the Divine radiance of Shri Nathji who wore his navy blue achkan and golden yellow turban and white woollen chooridaars looking like a majestic King. The entire wedding appeared filled with a divine atmosphere, and even the sounds of music carried a divine melody. Everyone stared at Shri Nathji even as Shri Sinha introduced him to the guests.
Callaghan and his wife, were both greatly touched on meeting Shri Nathji. They had seen many an Indian before but never one with so much Majesty and Royalty which exceeded the royalty of even their royal families. A spark touched their souls and then disappeared.
