Narrator: Service is religion Listen to what Guptasadhak Shyamakyapa said
Devotee: Pranam, Guru Dev.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: Pranam, child.
Devotee: As you can see, sitting next to Guru Dev is Dr. Kakoli Roy. She was previously working at Delhi AIIMS and has recently transferred to Kolkata. She has had profound experiences since joining Guru Dev’s path.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: She used to practice medicine at AIIMS. After leaving, she came here. Where are you currently?
Devotee: I am a professor at Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: She is a professor at NRS College and a child specialist. Let’s hear from her directly.
Devotee: My meeting Guru Dev was entirely due to God’s immense grace. His blessings are unforgettable. Meeting Guru Dev was a divinely ordained relationship. His blessings have been undeniable in various situations involving me and my child. While in Delhi, I faced unbelievable problems that science often cannot explain. For instance, my father once fainted and severely injured his finger. Despite extensive treatment and antibiotics at Delhi AIIMS, the wound wouldn’t heal. I was preparing for a second surgery as the finger was at risk of being lost. Out of desperation, I sought Guru Dev’s blessing. Miraculously, after his intervention, the wound that I had been dressing unsuccessfully for a month healed within two to three days. Even the exposed bone was covered, and we avoided plastic surgery. I am eternally grateful to Guru Dev.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: Her father’s wound simply wouldn’t heal. I gave her some medicine, and it was cured. Similarly, I performed the Annaprashan (first rice-eating ceremony) for her child. She went through a lot; if I hadn’t been there, who knows what would have happened. She is like my daughter to me. She has made a name for herself in medicine and now wants to start a private practice. I told her to go ahead; I am here for her. Many harmful things had been directed at her, but I cleared them all.
Devotee: We won’t delve into personal matters here. It’s clear how much she has benefited from your grace.
Devotee: I believe Guru Dev provides the solution to every problem. Coming to him feels like being led by God himself.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: She even went abroad for training. Despite her medical success, she remains devoted. I have many doctor disciples—around 18 to 20—and she is one of them. Many prominent doctors, including a hospital superintendent in Jalpaiguri and Dr. Koronjai from PG Hospital, seek my guidance.
Devotee: Guru Dev’s followers are indeed widespread.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: I love them all dearly. My only wish is for doctors to serve people selflessly. I help dozens of people daily without charging a penny. This service to humanity is the highest form of worship. I tell Dr. Roy that serving people will bring her closer to God. While government pay is fine, selfless service is what truly matters. Medicine is a service-oriented field, just like my spiritual work. Sometimes I even direct people to doctors for medical issues, but they insist on my intervention. People come from as far as Siliguri and Mumbai with severe ailments like cancer, seeking hope.
Devotee: Your glory is well-known, Guru Dev.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: I help those who come to me. Selling God’s power for money is wrong. I refuse to charge for the help I provide. We even help couples who are struggling to conceive. Many children have been born through these blessings. Service is the ultimate religion, as Vivekananda said. I will continue this path as long as I can.
Devotee: It was wonderful speaking with you. Dr. Roy is a talented physician and like a daughter to Guru Dev.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: I love her from my heart and will always be there for her.
Devotee: Let’s conclude this episode. Stay healthy and well. Pranam, Guru Dev.
Guru Shyama Khyapa: Pranam.
