Miracles of B...🔗

I have been blessed with the wonderful opportunity to know B as a close friend. And without realizing it, I have been a witness to many of his miracles, directly or indirectly. While B has no interest in making all this known publicly, I still wish to document it for future generations to know that such happenings are not a myth (as I myself used to wonder until a few years ago).

There are many miracles to talk about, but the most interesting of them all is materializing things! Oh well! Things cannot really be materialized since laws of nature state that you cannot create matter out of nothing... but they can be teleported! Until I met Swamiji, I thought this was possible only in science fiction movies and TV shows like Star Trek! But I heard Swamiji talk about it as if it was really just another scientific process of converting matter to energy, moving it over and then converting the energy back into matter; 'Just like your phones do with sound energy' Swamiji had said.

"Fascinating! But was it really possible?" My heart knew that Swamiji's words were always true, so it must be possible if he said so. But my mind, so deeply rooted in the realm of logic, found it hard to accept this without sufficient proof. How would it work?" I thought.

It was Dec the 18th, 2008. I was in Bidadi for the Jayanthi celebrations. The ashram had received a new kind of ring. It was very unique and elegant looking silver ring with a single rudraksha bead in it. As soon as Swamiji saw a sample of the ring he liked it so much, he decided to gift one to every ashramite! We all got one, and were super thrilled about receiving such a beautiful & special gift from Swamiji.

A couple of days later my parents arrived at the ashram to volunteer for the Jayanthi celebrations. They were assigned to help out in the Galleria showroom. My mother saw the ring on my finger and liked it instantly, like everyone else who saw it. She wanted one too, but when she enquired in the Galleria showroom, she found out that all the sample pieces were taken by Swamiji and given away, so they had to wait until they received fresh stock of supply. She mentioned this to me, a bit disappointed.

The next day, B and I were just chatting about many things, when I mentioned to him about my mother's wish to get the new rudraksha ring, and her disappointment that they were all out of it. B smiled and asked me, "Shall I get her one of those rings?" I thought he was joking and said "Yeah, sure, she would be thrilled! But unfortunately, Galleria really has no stock left, I checked in the showroom this afternoon."

He smiled mischievously and asked, "Do you really want it? I will materialize one!" I couldn't believe what I had just heard! I was thrilled and suspicious at the same time. "Can you really do that? Show me your hands, let me see if you are hiding a ring somewhere in your sleeve", I said to him. He showed me both his hands, palms open and said, "Check whatever you want, I have nothing here".

Then we kept talking about other things for about 10 minutes, and all this while B was rubbing his hands gently against each other. I assumed he had just joked about materializing the ring because our conversation had moved on from that topic to other day-to-day happenings at the ashram.

And then, all of a sudden, he told me to extend my hand. He placed his closed fist over my hand, palm facing down... and suddenly I felt something small and cold drop into my hands! Viola! It was a silver rudraksha ring! I looked at it in disbelief as I was trying to register the fact that I had actually witnessed a miracle, first hand, with my own eyes. Now there was no escaping for my intellect and logic that such things are not just a myth or a matter of faith and belief, but they are truly possible.

Within a few moments, my darned intellect kicked in and started asking all kinds of questions, instead of letting me enjoy the beauty of that moment. I asked B, "You could not have materialized it, because materialization is not possible. That means you only teleported it. Where did you teleport it from? I thought we were out of stock!"

"Yes! It is teleported", said B. "It must have come from the emergency stock that the Galleria keeps." At this point I realized that teleportation is also quite a miracle just like materializing. Then my mind relaxed from all the questions, and I was simply in awe of B and his miraculous powers! I was so excited, I want to run around sharing this exciting discovery with all my others friends, especially my husband who, being an atheist, used to reject anything not proven by modern science. Sensing my excitement, B immediately forbade me from divulging these secrets to anyone, unless B approved of it.

It began to sink in that B really was no ordinary person. He was truly an enlightened being, as Swamiji had once declared to a small group of ashramites, and as B himself had admitted to me once. I am filled with gratitude for being a close friend of an enlightened mystic.

It was Dec 23rd, 2008, the day the Brahmotsav celebrations for the Jayanthi started. It was also the day I turned 35. I was thrilled to have received Swamiji’s darshan and blessings for my birthday despite his really busy schedule on that day.

Later in the day, I was talking to B when he wished me a very happy Birthday, and asked me what gift I would like for this special day. I thought about it for a few minutes and said, “I can’t think of anything I need other than always having Swamiji’s presence in my life; and he already blessed me with that this morning!”

Then B said, “Okay, I’ll give you a small gift anyways. Check my hands”, he said showing his open palms. I realized then he was going to materialize something! I was excited again, I guess I must have thought the first instance with the ring was just some stroke of luck and he wouldn’t be able to do it again. So now I was curious to see if he could really repeat the miracle.

Then as usual we talked about other things while B kept rubbing his hands. Suddenly, I remembered that he was teleporting something and I asked him if it was there yet. He said, “Its here, but I’m still putting the cover for it”. “What do you mean?” I asked. He explained that the object being teleported was there between his palms, but not yet fully there, and he was still teleporting the final layer of it, what he called as the cover. And then after few minutes he asked me to close my eyes, extend my hand and dropped something into my hands.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a beautiful pair of earrings, made of pink pearls (my favorite among jewelry) and red sandal! It was a really lovely pair, exactly what I would have picked for myself from the Galleria store! I was looking at it in disbelief, and then at B in awe, and barely managed to say ‘Thank you, I love it’!

“How do you do it?” I asked him. “Oh, its nothing. These are all just a child’s play, once you know the technique”, B said. “Where and how did you learn all these miracles?” I asked. “That’s easy, I just downloaded the technique to do it!” answered B with a wink and a smile.

“I have a million questions in my head, about this and many other mystical things!” I said. And he agreed to answer them all patiently, to the best of his ability. I must give B the credit for being patient with me, and treating me like a two year old who is filled with curiosity and questions about anything and everything around them.

Sometimes, when I would say I have a question, he would smile and say, “I was beginning to think you have become enlightened, because you haven’t asked me a doubt or question in a while!” Sometimes, B would be in a mood to talk mystical things, and he would tell me to ask all my doubts and questions.

There were times when I would draw a blank and say I have no more questions for him. He would laugh and tell me that I have finally become enlightened! Other times, when I would pose a barrage of questions, and he was bored with my silly questions (silly at his level), he would refuse to answer anymore by saying, “Why don’t you go ask your son (referring to Swamiji) about all these?” For some strange reason, I was never able to ask Swamiji all my doubts and questions, for they always felt too silly to be wasting his time on.

I was in Chennai for a month helping my father-in-law with some personal work. Suddenly one day I saw a rash like appearance on my chin. In my usual manner, I ignored it thinking it was some kind of allergy and it will go away in a few days. But it steadily increased and spread from one spot to my entire chin area. It became so noticeable that anyone who saw me asked about it and advised me to go see a doctor.

I tend to avoid doctors and unnecessary medications in general, and especially so in India where doctors tend to give an overdose of medicatons. So I continued to ignore such comments. One of those days, B was visiting Chennai and had called me to enquire how I was doing. I mentioned to him about the rash, and he advised me to apply Swamiji’s vibuthi, which is known to have healing effects.

Unfortunately I didn’t have any of it with me, as I had left it all in Bangalore, with my parents. B specifically told me to apply the vibuthi from the Shiva Ratri celebrations that were conducted recently by Swamiji in the ashram. I was very sad that I couldn’t get access to it until at least a week later. When I told B about it, he was extremely kind to me, and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll give you some”. I happily agreed to meet him for a cup of coffee, when I would also pick up the vibuthi from him. As soon as we met and ordered our coffee, almost immediately I asked him, “where is my vibuthi?” He had a little bag with him, since he was traveling. I opened the bag and looked for a little packet of vibuthi in it, but couldn’t find any! “I don’t have any with me, but I can get some for you from Bidadi”, he said with a smile.

I understood what he meant, and decided to wait for the gift. After we had our coffee and chatted a bit, I had to leave. I was beginning to wonder when he will do the actual act of teleporting the vibuthi from Bidadi, when he said to me, “Don’t forget your vibuthi, its in the bag!”

This happened on February 27th, 2009. I was pleasantly surprised, because this time I didn’t see him rubbing his hands or doing anything explicit to have the vibuthi teleported! When I asked him about it, he simply smiled.

In Dec 2008, Swamiji’s birthday according to his stars (not the English birthday which is a fixed day of the year) was celebrated in the ashram in his hometown of Tiruvannamalai, at the foothills of his favorite Arunachala. During that day, there was free darshan of Swamiji to all those who visited the ashram. Although the ashramites expected a huge crowd of about 5,000 people, the turnout surpassed all our expectations, and a whopping 20,000 people showed up for the event!

At some time, when I was done with my volunteering tasks, I offered to assist at one of the galleria stalls, and B also happened to be there. While brisk sales were going on at the stall, some volunteers came running to B and asked for more malas to be made available on stage. He asked them to look for it in the covered area behind us where all excess stock was stored. After frantic searching, they returned to him with a sorry face! B called the next in-charge and enquired how many malas they had shipped for the event, and it was quite a large number (a few thousand). And yet there were a few hundred people who still wanted to buy malas!

The volunteers did not want to return to the stage and inform Swamiji that we were all out of malas! They knew he would be unhappy with them for their poor planning! So they were desperately trying all other sources like the 2 mobile galleria vans that were standing outside to somehow get some more malas, but with no luck. Eventually, B told them to open a certain box and look inside it. Reluctantly, they opened it and found it was full of malas and bracelets, about 400 of them! They were thrilled and quickly scurried away with that box. Then B turned to me and said, "See what all I have to use my powers for"! I was looking at him puzzled, when he explained to me that he had to quickly teleport about 400 malas & bracelets because his volunteers back at the Bidadi ashram didn't plan for such a huge event, and hence shipped less numbers than they should have.

I was still looking at him all confused, and asked, "I thought you could only teleport something that is small enough to fit into your hands, like this ring (indicating the ring he gave me sometime ago). How did you manage to teleport four hundred malas into a box somewhere behind you?" To which he answered, "it doesn't have to fit into my hands. If I am present in the area, that is enough, things can be materialized or teleported to that area. And if I can teleport one ring, why can't I teleport four hundred malas? It's the same technology!"

In addition to this, there were innumerable occasions when B teleported material for Galleria, to quickly make up for a deficit. From January to March 2009, Swamiji toured many cities in Tamilnadu, conducting the one-day meditation workshop called Kalpataru program, for the first time ever. The program was a huge hit and thousands of people showed up for the program in each city. Most often, when people would go for darshan, they would want to buy a mala of Swamiji or a bracelet, so that they could get it energized by Swamiji directly. There were times when the stock that was brought from Bidadi would fall short of the demand. The local galleria volunteers would panic and come running to B, who is also the overall In-charge for the galleria department and ask him if there were more malas in any other boxes. The ashram volunteers in the galleria department, having looked already a few times would pull a long face and say that unfortunately they were all out of it. B would look deep into his agna chakra area and direct a volunteer to pull out a box in a particular area and look into it. And unbelievably, there will be a couple of hundred malas in there!! The ashram volunteers would protest in bewilderment, "But we opened all the boxes and checked earlier, we didn't find anything!" B would just tell them, "You didn't look hard enough!"

I thought to myself, "It helps to have such talents rolled up your sleeve; it really helps you survive these situations! No wonder my poor father could not survive long in this job, he didn't know such tricks!" My father used to be in-charge of galleria before B moved to the ashram. I had seen him face the challenges of managing supply and demand, maintaining the ever-expanding inventory, etc. It really takes an enlightened person to be able to handle the complex operations, exploding stock and international demands for the materials! No wonder Swamiji had put B in-charge of this crucial department.

Other Incidents Since B and I were close friends, he would tell me about some of the interesting or fun things that happened. He told me about many other incidents of teleporting.

Ma Nithyananda Sree was another good friend of B. She too knew that he was an enlightened mystic. In fact, it was she who helped him experience his true self and realize his enlightenment. A couple of years earlier, in 2007 summer on Swamiji’s instructions, Sree was giving discourses on Siva Sutras and also conducting a meditation for each sutra. This was attended by all the ashramites present then, and Swamiji was in the US at that time. During one such meditation session, one of the ashramites fell into a deep Samadhi experience. When he came out of Samadhi after 2 hours, he realized he was B, an enlightened mystic. Since then, he has always felt much gratitude, respect and love for Swamiji and Sree for being instrumental in this realization.

Coming back to Feb 20th, 2009, B had just returned to the ashram after attending to some work in Chennai. Sree was happy to chat with him and catch up after a while. As they were bantering around, she was pulling his leg about mystical powers and miracles. Then B asked her if she wanted to see a miracle. She was thrilled and agreed immediately.

As you can guess, B showed her his open hands, told her to check everything, and then he told her that she can expect to see a bunch of pins there. Then they kept talking as he rubbed his hands gently, and after a few minutes opened his closed fist. Viola! There were a bunch of safety pins there! How did it get there? Where did they come from? Those were Sree’s questions too… for which B simply replied, I teleported it!”

B often visited Chennai on ashram work, and many times he would stay in ma Bhaktika’s home, as Bhaktika’s entire family is devoted to Swamiji and the ashram. They always welcomed anyone from the ashram to stay with them for any length of time, and took very good care of them.

On one such occasion on Mar 7th 2009, when B was staying over, he was up late busy with all his phone calls as always. Ma Bhaktika was also up late, working on some book publication, not uncommon for her to do. B stopped by Bhaktika’s office to discuss some issues related to upcoming book publications. While they were sitting across a table & talking, B suddenly pulled out a bar of Dairy Milk chocolate and gave it to her!

Bhaktika was generally quite aware, and she knew there was no chocolate there on the table earlier. So she was surprised and asked him how he got it, to which B just said he did some magic! She asked him if he can do it again, and he refused. He said the magic could not be repeated. Bhaktika also knew that B was a very spiritually evolved soul, and possibly an enlightened mystic. So she knew that there was more here than meets the eye, but she couldn't elicit a better response from B at that time.

On Mar 25th, 2009 B had been invited by Bhaktika's mother (lovingly called 'aachi') to preside over a pooja at home. He was given all the respects offered to a senior brahmachari of the ashram. After the pooja, B felt like giving something special to aachi to help her feel the pooja was a success. He was sitting at their dining table and talking to Bhaktika and he mentioned this to her. She smiled with an idea of what was coming - more magic!

B kept rubbing his hands together as they were talking and finally produced a small yantra (the laminated kind sold in Nithyananda Galleria). He gave it to Bhaktika and said, please give it to aachi as a gift from the ashram for the pooja. She knew now that he had teleported it, so he quickly warned her not to reveal that information to anyone else, including aachi. But after this, he still kept rubbing his hands and that got Bhaktika really curious. When she asked him about it, he said, "I'm not sure why, but my hands are still itching for something". Then he asked her to remove the newspaper under his hands. She did it, and to her surprise she found one more chocolate there for her!

Having been in-charge of the archives at the ashram, Bhaktika realized the importance of documenting such miracles, and being her diligent self she immediately got a camera, and took a picture of the chocolate and yantra that was just teleported. She also made a note of the date and time of the incident. And then after enjoying the chocolate, she carefully saved the wrapper as proof for posterity. Although aachi didn't know that the yantra was teleported for her, she was very happy to receive it as a gift from the ashram, she felt that was an auspicious sign.

On Jun 1st 2009, B was in a meeting with members of the Nithyananda Youth Foundation. One of the members there had a severe headache and was unable to focus on the meeting. She badly wanted a tablet but no one had any. At that point, B reached into his pocket, pulled out a headache tablet and handed it to her. She didn't know that the tablet was teleported, she thought B must have been carrying one in his pocket. But when he narrated this incident to me, I teased him saying, "Are you sure you didn't already have that tablet in your pocket?" B replied, "Do you really think I need to carry headache tablets for myself. I heal others' headaches; if I ever have a headache, I won't need a tablet to heal it. So why will I carry a tablet for it in my pocket?" Seemed reasonable and logical enough for me to accept his argument!
