My Experience

Invisible Doctor’s meeting with Supreme Doctor

--B K Chandra Shekhar

�

�It was the saddest day of my life. Lying on operation table, in a semi conscious state, I heard the team of doctors discussing the seriousness of my case.� One of them suggested calling the classified surgeon who was on leave but locally available. After the doctors gave me general anesthesia, I became unconscious. The Classified surgeon arrived and advised that I be maintained on the DIL (Dangerously ill List), and quickly be referred to the oncologist for further treatment and management of the case.� My wife was called and briefed about my condition. She gave her consent for further referral.� When I regained consciousness, I was not told about the seriousness of the case, but simply informed that I would be transferred to ‘Army Hospital (Research and Referral)’ for better treatment and management.

�I was assisted by my wife and one medical assistant. I was transferred to the research and referral hospital, where pathological and histo-pathological tests were carried out.� I was re-operated after examining all reports.� After two weeks I was transferred to the malignant diseases treatment centre of Command hospital, Pune.� After a prolonged discussion, the medical oncologist decided to manage the disease by four cycles of chemotherapy, each cycle lasting for five days.

The nightmarish experience of treatment by chemotherapy put me in depression and fear. My appearance also changed completely. The horrible appearance of premature old age led me further into severe depression.� A series of deaths in the MDTC also put me in constant fear.� The end of my life cycle seemed imminent.

�My kith and kin visited me but nobody could encourage me to face the painful treatment. I had strong faith in God, but one of my close friends asked me one day, “where is your God?”� Hearing that, I started crying.� With lots of fear and apprehension about survival in the mind, I tried to sleep, but could not sleep due to the extreme stress I was experiencing.� Lots of mind agitating thoughts were putting me into a state of trauma.� Despite being a strong believer in God, I lost faith in Him and became motionless.� When I was on the verge of collapsing due to extreme depression, a white luminous star appeared in front of me.� It grew brighter and brighter.� I found myself in a pool of powerful red coloured rays from the light piercing my body. I experienced enlightenment of the mind with flashing of the most empowering words coming from the divine �" “Your life is the most valuable treasure for me.� You will survive to carry out divine service to enlighten the world.”

�With these words, the light disappeared.� It just changed the course of my agitating mind.� I was rejuvenated, my mind was filled with confidence, and my shaking faith in God turned into unshakable love for Him.� I discovered the power of patience to bear the trauma of treatment.� My purpose of life was defined by God.� My consciousness moved to the higher self.� I felt the existence of my immortal self in a mortal coil.� I experienced that the eternity of my soul was realized.� I believed that every adversity contains within it the seeds of an equivalent or greater benefit. Everything happens for a reason, and a purpose that it serves.� The winter of sorrow will yield to the spring of joy just as the brilliant rays of the morning always follow the darkest part of the night. The circumstances or situations that cause us sorrow are the same as those that introduce us to the strength, power and wisdom that we truly have.

�No longer did I felt sorry for myself.� A divine power returned to me that day.� I discovered the fortune on the other side of the fear I had of malignant diseases. Invisible Doctor within was awakened by meeting with the Supreme Doctor.

�After that, I experienced sea-changes in my personal life. It was a really wonderful experience. Physically I recreated myself (you can compare my two photographs given below) exuding an exceptional vitality.� Intellectually I accessed the most universal truths as revealed by� God himself upon which a spiritually enriched and meaningful life is built and integrated them into the way I viewed the world, finding inner peace in the process.� Emotionally I became aware of many of the wounds and inflictions that I had suffered.� I realized that these wounds were merely blockages which prohibit experiencing the joys that all human being deserve to experience on a daily basis.� I was empowered to clear the blockages affecting me physically and psychologically.� Spiritually I accessed the deepest core values and reconnected with the highest self.� I identified and learned the art of happy and healthy living making my life energetic and congruent with the highest values and according to the dictates of my conscience.� I discovered my destiny by discovering the most valuable treasure hidden inside.� I understood that diseases in mind only cause disease in the body.

�But my sufferings did not end here. I sustained the other cycles of chemotherapy with great powers of patience.� Due to this power of patience, I recovered well.� After three month of completion of the chemo cycle, I was diagnosed with another disease, Hepatitis ‘C’, causing fibrosis of the liver, with a rise in sugar levels in the blood.� But I realized that I could get rid of these diseases with the power of inbuilt patience of my Invisible doctor.� A sick person is called a patient because of presence of patience in him.� Patient does not mean sick.� I learned and realised the most ancient techniques of Neurobics and Rajyoga at Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual Organization.� I nurtured the basic values in my life to heal myself completely and remain happy forever. I understood that to remain healthy I have to heal the mind first by removing all blockages completely with the help of the Supreme Doctor.

�Another ordeal of treatment started.� I received 300 injections of interferon of 4.5 mu in ten months and drugs responded well due to the positive support of invisible doctor and regular meeting and experiencing power of the Supreme Doctor through Rajyoga and Neurobics exercises. Blood reports became normal.� Now, all my diseases are in the state of remission.

�I realized that my life was gifted by God for service to mankind.� After spiritual awakening by regular Rajyoga practice, God enabled me to write four books related to mind, memory, Neurobics and Rajyoga.� Despite my busy working schedule in the armed forces, God provided lots of opportunity to share my wisdom and experience with my colleague, friends and relatives.� Soon God Shiva Baba made me a folk hero of sorts.� With great patience, confidence and Godly authority I started motivating others and instilling the confidence in the weakest. I started showing the right path to the seekers.I now realize that cancer and hepatitis-c was the best thing that ever happened to me. These diseases led to an increase in wisdom and understanding, and held lessons that paradoxically made my life better.� The illness was something that was part of a hidden divine plan.

Once I saw a person, who went to a hospital’s intensive care unit (ICU), where his father was unconscious and on several life-support systems and nothing was working. The person had just been chased from the bedside because visiting hours were over. Further visitation, he was told, was “against policy” and would “interfere.” His father died in the night, alone.

�This man became furious for being separated from his dying father.� He was prepared to damn the whole of modern medicine, not only for its ineffectiveness, but for its callousness as well.� He remained embittered toward a system that, as far as he was concerned, neither worked nor cared.

�Therefore I approached my friend Biswaroop Roy Chowdhary to do something tangible to create mass awareness about the hidden healing powers in all human beings. Medicines are fully effective if these are taken with full faith and creating a positive healing vibration in the body through neurobics and Rajyoga. I experienced such healings and my friend also achieved what he wanted through his mind power. Hence we decided to devise a system to create true awareness about the missing dimension of medical science in order to support our doctors in quick and effective healing through mind-body-medicine together. Our Book, Invisible Doctor, is an eye opener for all those who are exploring a healing process beyond medicine.

�Empowered by the Supreme Doctor (popularly known as “Baba Vaidyanath”), Invisible Doctor runs a pharmacy inside our body, which produces insulin, digine, pain killers, all hormones, all medicines and tonics, which are required to maintain a powerful mind and a healthy body.� If Invisible Doctor’s pharmacy stops functioning (due to disconnection from the Supreme Doctor), we visit Visible Doctors and swallow medicines, tonics, pain killers etc. (as prescribed by Visible Doctors) to treat our body.

�Remember, “Visible Doctors treat only body by medicines but Invisible Doctor ensures total cure by empowering mind and spirit with connection of the Supreme Doctor.”

�Invisible Doctor is within us.� Consult him along with treatment by Visible Doctors and ensure your total cure of mind, body and spirit.

Recently the Supreme Doctor enabled me to prove efficacy of Rajyoga in sleep management by breaking the Guinness World Record in marathon category on 22^nd Feb 2008 at NOIDA (UP), India. With the help of Rajyoga I managed my sleep and broke the Guinness World Record of longest TV watching marathon by S Joechem of Canada and set a new world record of 72 hrs 18 mts.

1.PLEASE PONDER OVER IT!

Give, give, and give -- what is the point of having experience, knowledge or talent if I don't give it away? Of having stories if I don't tell them to others? Of having wealth if I don't share it?

I don't intend to be cremated with any of it! It is in giving that I connect with others, with the world and with the divine.

Dear Ilander friends,

Presented hereunder is an account of a film star, a renowned dancer, a perfectionist professional, an editor and the last but not the least, a very good human being. Hema Malini, as all of you know her, has ruled over the hearts of cine-goers for about forty years now.

Before I tell you the details, let me tell you how I got introduced to her. Born in a village in District Panipat of Haryana, I was not acquainted with films upto the year 1969.We had no pucca road from our village to the nearest town. The nearest bus stand was 10 kms away while the nearest railway station was about�8 kms away. Till 1969, we had not travelled in a bus or train, as we never required doing so. This was the case with most of my class fellows also. So we had no introduction with the film world.

When I was in seventh standard, a book of Hindi grammar was introduced in our course. There were also ‘Muhaware’ and ‘Lokoktiyan’ in the grammar book. These are called ‘Idioms’ and ‘proverbs’ in English. Now, there was an idiom ‘Paani bharnaa’ which means to be ‘inferior’ or less important. The grammar book was published for the first time and by that time one or two films of Hema Malini had been released and she had become very popular ( as I understand now). So, the writer of the book would have thought it suitable to give a practical example for appropriate usage of the above said idiom. He wrote the following sentence:

Hema Malini ki sundarta ke saamne anya nayikayen paani bharti hain

[It means : other heroines are inferior to Hema Malini, in beauty]

Dear friends, this was our first introduction with the film world and of course with Hema Malini.

Renowned throughout India and abroad for her acting prowess, Hema Malini is currently a member of Rajya Sabha. She thinks that every citizen has the right to do something for the betterment of the country and wants to use her name and popularity for a good cause. A great advocate of women's issues she takes special interest in art and culture and the environment. She is also an exponent of Bharat Natyam.

She has a penchant for perfection and puts her best efforts in everything she does. She is very particular about cleanliness and wants that things should be at their proper place. When the office guys goof up and they don't do the assigned job, it is very irritating to her.
She has learned to control the self and remain calm and stable in trying circumstances. The provocations remain but she doesn't react to them, and is firm and authoritative.

Hema ji feels that God has given her everything. She is a devotee of Shri Krishna.
Very keen to propagate Indian art and culture, she has extensively toured throughout the world for it. Ballets, particularly those based on Shri Krishna and Ramayana, really fascinate her. She performs in selected music festivals and in some spiritual programmes. She had once visited headquarters of Brahmakumaris organization at Mt Abu and had an experience of Rajyoga meditation, most probably in the year 1995. There she also met with Dadi Prakashmani ji, the then Administrative Head of BK organisation.

A multi faceted personality, she is also founder and Editor of Meri Saheli, a women’s magazine. She is extremely influenced by her mother. Very few people know that she had (produced and directed?) a film named ‘Indira’, for highlighting the issue of gender discrimination in Indian society.
She can control her emotions and is a sedate soul.
Her favourite books are Dadaji Dilip Kumar Roy and Ma Indira Devi's ‘Pilgrims of the Stars’ and ‘The Fluter Still Calls’ in which Dadaji narrates Ma Indira Devi's experiences.
She would like to be remembered as Hema Malini, a good human being.

Thanks friends for reading a long narrative� on Hema ji. I will write, in due course,�about some more film personalities whom I met .

Dear Ilander friends,

here is a news of a distressed ship, salvaged by our naval ship INS Rana.We had been to INS Rana in the year 1982, when we had just joined National Insurance Companmy Limited as Asstt. Administrative Officers and were under training at its Head Office, Kolkata. It was nice to see it in the news today.

Incidentally, I had also good opportunity to visit and inspect INS Vikrant, stationed at Mumbai Port , in the year 1990, where I had gone on L.T.S.

That visit and INS Vikrant, need to be dealt at length, in another post.

With Best wishes --Ranjit

Dear Ilander friends,

Here is a song from an old film.The song is really

unique, as it contains heart felt praise of God.

�

Human beings have been in search of God,

since time immemorial. God descends from His

Abode--Soul World-- to give us true knowledge

and show us path to purity, peace and prosperity

on the most auspicious period in this Eternal World

Drama.The present time is Sangam Yug, the period

of God’s descent and human ascent.

�

Please see the last line of the last stanza:

�

naa bichhadenge hum caravan paa liya hai

�

I feel my ilander friends are special people

Who are in search of Him and after recognizing

Him, they will be part of a large ‘’caravan’’. It is sure

that they will never part with Him, and will remain

with the ‘’caravan’’�"company of God-loving elevated

souls….Best wishes.

--Ranjit
