I met  divine Maitreya, a few years ago in 1997. For the most part of this association, He heard me… all my problems, all my ravings and rantings, all that my mundane mind could come up with… but most of all he heard – even when I did not verbalize it – my ONE and ONLY fear. This fear used to make me break into cold sweat… the only thing i would be thinking about all the time… This fear was that if and when i get married, my husband will die soon. The fear had gripped my life. I would see dreams that would wake me up from sleep and panic me. I was low in confidence and used to think that I was not good at my work. Maitreya slowly chipped away at many layers of dirt and conditions.

Once Maitreya gave me the photo of Rudra Yantra along with the mantra. This was after I finally got married. That very day of receiving the Yantra, I meditated on it and there was this vision got. I saw a huge red blob on the frontal part of a skull and the entire picture dissolving. I knew immediately what it was telling me. But the best part was that though i saw what was in store, unlike earlier, i was afraid only a little. There was a certain calmness. I shared it with a very divine person in a mail and she wrote back what a fantastic experience among other things. In my usual way, I let Maitreya know about my vision. He promised to take care of it.

From then on, my fear slowly started growing but even then it did not take the proportions of what it used to be. Exactly two and a half years after I had the vision following the meditation, I came down with fever. We went to the doctor and he gave a few antibiotics. As I was getting better, my husband too came down with fever. Since I could not drive, I could not take him to the hospital. We were in a different country at that time so away from family for any kind of support. Thinking that he got the fever from me only, we decided that he can take the same medicines prescribed for me. So he took the dosage and by late evening, he started pacing the house and felt very strange. He got up to go to the washroom and stood for a moment. I followed him and the next moment, before I could realise it, he collapsed and just fell down. He had his fists and teeth clenched. I panicked like never before and started shaking him vigorously. In a matter of a second, he opened his eyes and said why are you shouting? I made him go to the bed and lie down. He was fine. But he got up again saying he was feeling nauseated and wanted to go to the washroom.

He got up and in a jiffy, plopped down again unconscious, teeth and fists clenched… I tried putting my hand in the mouth so that he doesn’t bite his tongue. I kept calling him out loud in my panic and shook him vigorously. He woke up and again said why are you shouting. This time I made him sit up on a chair and gave him shorts and a tee to wear.

I went to knock the neighbor’s door and requested the gentleman to call the hospital, which was luckily on the ground floor of our apartment building.

By then it was 1.30 in the night and I called Maitreya on his phone. He was awake and was in Dhyana. I told him the situation and he said yes i know that’s why he was giving him healing already and said its a case of food poisoning and asked me to give him a mix of lime ginger and honey to make him vomit out what was there in the tummy.  I rushed to prepare the mixture and made my husband to eat it. By then he was cold with sweat and then again in a jiffy, he just collapsed on the chair with the chair breaking down and he was on the floor. We went down to the hospital and the doctor performed the tests and said there is nothing wrong with him as such. But my husband continued to sweat and his tee was soaking wet. Seeing  my panic, the doctor said let us take him to the specialty hospital and put him on a drip. I kept chanting Maitreya’s name through out the ambulance ride and got him admitted in the emergency ward. There at the ward, my husband said he wanted to vomit. He just had to try it a bit and out it was. He felt a lot better and then the sweating came down and he could sleep though he felt very weak.

I went in and out of the ward trying to meet the doctor on duty and then they decided to do a few more tests. I was in touch with Maitreya through out. I updated his family too.

In the morning, the doctors shifted him to neurological ward and did various tests including the Brain CT Scan and tests for other vitals. Reports were to come in the evening and the Neuro physician was also supposed to come then. Though he slept almost through the day, he was fine overall.

In the meantime, Maitreya and others were continuously healing him. We were afraid that the brain scan will throw up something malignant.

The reports came and the neurophysician came… checked out the report and checked my husband. The report was NORMAL. I immediately messaged Maitreya and he called back to say the ageless Mahaprabhu Pinakadrika had already given the Abhaya to my husband and told Maitreya that he would be absolutely fine. Maitreya said, “I am thankful to Him and everyone who healed him and for giving him his life back. If there was a situation where one life had to go to save the other, then your Baba is there to go.” I replied, “You two are the most important people in my life. I am greedy to have both of you with me always. So don’t say that. I can never allow you to go.”

I realised later on that Maitreya was not doing normal healing like any other healer, rather he poured his life into my husband. In such a situation, it is divine’s will – either to keep my husband alive or Maitreya alive. Mahaprabhu Pinakadrika – the shipra prasadi – gave me both my husband and Maitreya back to me ALIVE. I do not have enough words to express my gratitude to Maitreya and Mahaprabhu Pinakadrika.

The day passed and the doctors decided to keep my husband in the hospital for that night under observation. The next morning the neurophysician came back and told me, “he is absolutely fine, do not worry about him. He can be discharged.” Music to my ears and our friends arranged to bring us both back home.

The day Maitreya decided to pour his own life energy into my husband was his own birthday… Even as I write this, I can only feel the eternal gratefulness for what only Maitreya ji can do. The bhiksha that he has given my husband and me is divine. Thank you Baba.

When we met Maitreya almost a month later, my husband – who till then had not accepted Maitreya as his Guru and who had always considered him as my Guru- hugged Maitreya and cried. Maitreya later on told us that Maha Baba was with us in the hospital. I was amazed and asked him as who? He said try and remember… there was one person -  a hospital staffer – who assured you that he would be fine. I remembered it was the neurophysician who had told me that my husband would be fine. I thanked the roly-poly, bald, pot-bellied Middle Eastern physician and wondered how Maha Baba could take his form and come to meet us personally and did the physical examination of my husband himself.

For someone who is a Purnavatara of Lord Shiva himself, anything is possible… including giving me my husband back ALIVE.
