Devotee:
Greetings, Gurudev.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Greetings to you, my son.
Devotee:
Greetings to our audience as we begin today's episode. I should mention that we filmed an episode earlier where you might have seen…
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
No, I haven't released that one yet.
Devotee:
Ah, I see. In any case, you will soon see that Gurudev received a phone call, which we discussed in detail in that upcoming episode.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Right. An NRI called and said, "You are a part of the Mother Goddess (Maa). I want to meet you." This young man here is going to explain how that came about.
Devotee:
The person sitting next to Gurudev is the one who experienced this. Let's hear it directly from him. Please state your name and where you live before you begin.
Pushpak:
Greetings. My name is Pushpak Chatterjee. I live in Barrackpore.
Devotee:
Tell us about your experience.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
He sees the Mother almost every day. She is always with him. From what I've gathered, she follows him. It might be due to his past karma; he hasn't even taken spiritual initiation in this life yet, but the Mother appears to him frequently. Even when he thinks of Tarapith, he sees her.
Pushpak:
Actually, I haven't been to Tarapith yet.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Oh? Where did you see her then?
Pushpak:
When I am lying down at night, whether asleep or awake, even with my eyes closed, I can see the Tarapith temple and the cremation grounds. I hear the chant "Jai Maa, Jai Maa Tara" and the sound of temple bells.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
You see this while you are fully awake?
Pushpak:
Yes, while awake. Also, whenever a spirit enters our house, I can see it immediately.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Has this been happening for a long time?
Pushpak:
Yes, since March.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
So when these things happen at night, you are awake?
Pushpak:
I usually wake up suddenly because I feel a cold breeze. The first time, I saw a face, though it wasn't clear. Then one day on the rooftop, I saw a spirit very clearly. He had no hair on his body, was unclothed, wore a Rudraksha mala, and was very thin.
Pushpak:
This happens every night between 1:30 and 1:45 AM.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
You see him consistently at that time?
Pushpak:
Yes. And when I do, I feel that cold breeze. It happens mostly on Saturdays and Fridays, sometimes Tuesdays or Mondays. During those times, I've seen the Tarapith temple and cremation grounds two or three times. I've heard bells, crying, and the name "Jai Maa Tara."
Pushpak:
Then one day at my new office, I saw a young girl enter.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
In your office?
Pushpak:
Yes.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
How old was she?
Pushpak:
A small child. She was carrying a garland of hibiscus flowers.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
What was she wearing?
Pushpak:
A red saree, with Alta (red dye) on her hands and feet. She had long hair. She spoke to me very affectionately and said, "Put this garland on me."
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
What kind of garland?
Pushpak:
Hibiscus. She brought it to me in the office.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Were there other people around?
Pushpak:
No, I was alone. It's a small workplace. She insisted, "Put this garland on me; no one else will." Because she was just a child, I did it. She then blessed me and told me to chant "Jai Maa Tara" and listen to Shyama Sangeet (devotional songs to Kali) whenever I am in distress.
Pushpak:
I asked for her name. She replied, "Don't you know your own mother's name?" She blessed me and then simply disappeared. I told my mother about it, and she told me to bow to that spot. Later, the girl appeared again and gave me Gurudev's name and phone number.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
My name?
Pushpak:
Yes. She told me, "Stay with him and never leave him. He is a part of me. If you have any trouble, go to him."
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
She said I am a part of her?
Pushpak:
Yes. She said, "If you are in danger, go to him."
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
And she gave you the phone number?
Pushpak:
Yes, that same little girl gave it to me.
Devotee:
That child?
Pushpak:
Yes, and she mentioned his name. That's how I found my way here.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Did you know where I lived?
Pushpak:
No, my father searched online and eventually found you.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
This is truly extraordinary. It was undoubtedly Maa Tara herself. When she said I am her part, she spoke the truth. I am her son, Tara's son. You have come to the right place. I will do whatever I can as she has instructed. Chant her name and listen to the devotional songs of Ramprasad.
Pushpak:
We even had the Chandi Path scriptures recited, but the spirit didn't leave. It's been here since March.
Mother:
Greetings. I've come to seek Gurudev's help. This started with my son in March, around Shivratri. I didn't see anything myself, but he did. I suggested the Chandi Path because although the spirit wasn't harmful, it was appearing regularly around 1:00 or 1:30 AM every few days. It wasn't afraid of holy names either.
Mother:
After my son's experience, I went to a Kali temple with a beautiful hibiscus garland and sweets. I wanted to put the garland on the Goddess myself, but the priests took it and did it. I felt a bit sad that I couldn't do it personally. My son didn't know about this temple visit.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Is this why you called me?
Mother:
Yes. My son saw the girl at his office right after that. Since I couldn't offer the garland with my own hands, perhaps the Mother came to him to receive it.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
It may sound unbelievable, but supernatural events do occur. We don't know his past life connections. Why else would the Mother take a garland from him? And she even asked him, "Don't you know your own mother?"
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
It's a miracle. She gave him my name even though he had never heard of me.
Mother:
We are originally from Banaras and Allahabad. We moved here for work.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
She gave my name and number. Did she mention I live at the cremation ground?
Pushpak:
No, just to contact you for help.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
You are very fortunate, my son. I bow to you because you have seen the Mother with your own eyes.
Mother:
We have come to you now; we trust you will know what to do.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
I am just an innocent person, but since the Mother has said I am her part, I accept that I am her son. I am happy she acknowledged me this way. I have always called myself Tara's son.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
You won't see those disturbing images anymore.
Pushpak:
Gurudev, please don't tell Maa Tara not to come to me. I have wanted to see her for a long time.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Very well, I won't say that. If she wishes to appear, she will.
Mother:
At his office, she even called him by his nickname, "Papai." He looked around, but no one was there.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
There is a deep connection between him and Maa Tara. I am humbled that she spoke of me as her part.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
People everywhere know me as her son. I will do whatever is needed for your well-being, as she directs.
Devotee:
Friends, you've heard this incredible, true story. It is truly hair-raising.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
This young man called me and said he would come on Saturday. They come from holy places like Banaras. It is wonderful that he was graced with a vision of Maa Tara, something many of us haven't achieved despite years of devotion.
Devotee:
Regardless of visions, the fact that the Mother herself identified Gurudev as her part is a massive testament.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
I have always been her son.
Devotee:
This is a true story. We will conclude this episode here. Greetings, Gurudev.
Guru Shyama Khyapa:
Greetings to all.
