Narrator: Good evening, viewers. We are not here today to promote Gurudev; his renown is already well-established. However, there are those who, having received his blessings, have found a new lease on life. They feel compelled to share their stories, despite our reservations. They insist on telling the world about the benefits they have received. Joining us today is one such lady. Ma'am, please state your name and share your experience.
Devotee (Lady): Namaskar. When I first came to Gurudev, I couldn't even tell what he looked like. I was in a terrible state—not only was I in physical pain, but I was also completely blind. I couldn't see anything. The people with Gurudev had to help me sit down and stand up. I couldn't even see where the idol of the Mother Goddess was. Every doctor I consulted told me I would never see again. But Gurudev… words fail me. Because of him, I am standing here today, and I can see the Mother Goddess with my own eyes. It is a miracle. I can see everyone here. I can now light candles and lamps for the Goddess with my own hands. No matter how much I praise Gurudev, it won't be enough. I urge everyone to visit him at least once and seek the Mother's blessings. I don't think you will find such peace anywhere else. The more I come here, the more I feel I need him. He is the one healing me.
Narrator: What exactly was the medical issue with your eyes?
Devotee (Lady): Due to high blood sugar, my retina was completely damaged. I lived in total darkness. My husband had to help me with everything—from sitting and standing to even putting on my shoes. I never thought I would be able to see Gurudev like this. But he told me, "You will see, I am telling you." He supported me in every way. He told me to go ahead with the surgery and to keep chanting the Mother's name. Today, the fact that I can see is entirely due to his grace.
Narrator: What did the doctors say?
Devotee (Lady): Doctors had given up hope. But at Disha Eye Hospital, Dr. Arnab Das decided to try one last time. He said, "Your back is already against the wall, so let's try one final effort." That final effort was guided by Gurudev.
Narrator: Viewers, as you heard, where doctors had turned her away, she came to Gurudev. It was her faith and his blessings that worked. Gurudev, what would you like to say about this?
Guru Shyama Khyapa: What is there to say? When she first came to me, she couldn't even find her shoes. We had to help her put them on. She arrived on a scooter, and I remember we had to help her off it. She was crying uncontrollably, saying she would never see again because the doctors said her eyes were "dead." I comforted her. It might have sounded like a hollow consolation at the time, but I told her, "You will see, Mother." I performed some spiritual work on her eyes. Afterward, Dr. Arnab Das, whom she mentioned, decided to perform the surgery. We often find that when we perform spiritual work on "impossible" cases, the doctors' efforts suddenly become successful. That is what happened here. After the operation, her sight gradually returned. For someone who has seen the world and then suddenly plunged into darkness, there is no greater pain. I felt that pain.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: One day, she came back on her own and told me she could see. She described what she saw in detail, and I knew her sight was returning. However, because of the diabetes, as she regained one thing, she lost another—her kidneys are now affected. We need to work on that now. I have firm faith that the Mother Goddess will heal her kidneys too. I help everyone; I don't turn anyone away. It brings me great joy that she can see. This is what we call "Drishti Daan" (the gift of sight). It was the Mother who did it; it would be wrong for me to take the credit. She comes here now to offer her prayers, and she is doing much better.
Narrator: Viewers, you heard the account from Gurudev and the lady herself. We are not broadcasting this for promotion, but because those who have been healed insist on sharing their testimony. They want the world to know. Ma'am, any final words?
Devotee (Lady): Just one thing: please come to Gurudev. Come see the Mother. You will miss out on so much in life if you don't come here. That is all I have to say.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: Everyone who comes here with faith in the Mother is benefited. The Mother Goddess here is "alive" and active. I tell people—whatever you ask for, you shall receive. My presence is just a medium; the Mother's power is what works. We perform the rituals and keep the spiritual energy alive here. Everyone who comes is blessed.
Devotee (Gentleman): I would like to make a special request. The Mother has given us Gurudev, whom we call "Baba." Through him, we reach the Mother. If you are facing any problem and want relief, come to him. To reach the Mother, a medium is often necessary, and Gurudev is that medium. Let us all help each other and find peace. Thank you.
Narrator: Gurudev, thank you for allowing us to record this episode today. Pranam.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: Blessings to you all.
