The constant sufferings and interruptions Anamika was facing at the hands of the dark forces left me extremely worried. One, she was from another community and second, there seemed to be no solution to the problem before her. It was if I was voluntarily taking on the mantle for a mishap.

One day, it came to my mind that I should take Anamika to our revered Guru Acharya Shri Mahashraman ji in Bengaluru, who was there for his Chaturmasik residence. After all, he is the head of the entire community and in the present circumstances, it was only given that if any hindrances occurred during any events under his leadership, then he must be made aware of them for him to provide any necessary direction as he may deem necessary. Moreover, his blessings would bring clarity to our path ahead.

For our journey, we had to plan such that Anamika’s routine of meditation in the morning and evening would not be affected and she should not have to undergo any difficulty. Accompanied by another instructor from the Kendra, we embarked for Bengaluru. We paid our visit to Gurudev and listened to him perform the Mangal Paath before informing him about all that had transpired until then. After he had heard everything, I put forth before him my concern about how I was to proceed. He gave a very simple solution to my predicament – when no solution comes to mind, then one must calm the mind and pray. Whatever the conscience then says, one must proceed on that path. I accepted this as a mantra and decided to act accordingly. Anamika and the accompanying instructor too were overwhelmed in the mere presence of Gurudev and his recitation of the Mangal Paath.

Thereafter, I took both the disciples to visit Sadhvi Pramukha Shri Kanak Prabha ji and informed her of all the events in detail. She made Anamika sit with her and asked her a few more questions to obtain some more insights into the entire case. Then she instructed Sadhvi Shubhra Yasha ji to stay present during Anamika’s evening meditation and guide her.

Due to the restriction on the presence of men in the quarters of the sadhvis after sunset, I could not be present during Anamika’s meditation in the evening. However, when Anamika returned after completing her meditation, she seemed extremely pleased because it was after a very long time that she was able to complete her meditation without any hurdles. She told me that Sadhvi ji had undertaken some special techniques because of which she did not face any difficulties.

(Almost two years after this incident, when I met Sadhvi ji in Bhilwara, she told me that she had asked Anamika to meditate on her Sushumna (spine) while chanting Arham. My error lay in that I had not asked her about the method she used that first time and the very next day, I left from Bengaluru for Udaipur in a hurry, with the thought that perhaps a resolution had been achieved.)

Later, during the day, Anamika and her companion too returned to Delhi.

Little did I know that when I would receive news of Anamika’s evening meditation in Udaipur, my worries would only increase manifolds.
