Holy Shivaraathri and U.G.
An Exalting Experience
" On Shivarathri (March 10, 1994), I was sitting there observing him.
Around 3 O'clock in the afternoon that day, I observed a change in him.
I looked into his eyes. They looked fierce and scary.
I felt as if I was looking at a cobra.
Suddenly I blurted, ' You have cobra-like eyes.'
He laughed.
Immediately I expressed my apology for such an uncivilized remark.
My remark did not bother him."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"...He came out and I asked him why the blood vessels on both sides of his neck were engorged.
One could clearly notice them.
He said they got so on full moon days and also on Shivarathri "
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
" ...By that time something extraordinary had happened.
I did not see this myself, but heard it from others who had seen it.
He was sitting in Padmasana and swaying like a cobra without any movement at the base of his spine."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
" U.G. goes to bed at midnight and takes catnaps. He sleeps in a coiled fashion like a cobra. ".
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
" ...The next day we drove to the hilly parts of Jubilee Hills.
On the way he said that he felt that a spot on his forehead was activated.
He said that it could be the pineal gland in his brain.
Unfortunately as I was sitting in the front seat of the car I could not observe him well. "
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"...We all gathered at the airport.
As he was bidding goodbye I could not contain my emotions.
Who is this man to make me suffer so much?
Why am I to regret the departure of this man whom I have never met in all the 65 years of my life? What is my weakness?"
I went to the side, wiped my tears, came back and bade him farewell. ".
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"...I contacted U.G. in Bangalore over the phone.
He promptly answered.
I told him in a single sentence, ' U.G., I am deeply grateful to you.'
He asked me, ' What for? What have I done for you? '
I said, ' Yes, you have. You have created a turbulence in my mind and a longing to be with you. This feeling of separation is killing me.'
U.G. replied, ' Forget it. You are a scientist, and you should not have sentiments.' "
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
" It so happened that I was to go to Mysore soon after, and I told U.G. that I would be in Bangalore that Thursday.
He said at the airport before he left, ' I'll see you in Bangalore.'
I did not take his words seriously...
Contrary to my expectations, he indeed cancelled the trip and waited for me in Bangalore . . .
When I entered Mr. Chandrasekhar's house, U.G. stood up along with several others and welcomed me.
' We have been waiting for you for such a long time. Why are you so late? ' U.G. said.
That aggressive courtesy drenched me in a fit of emotion which I tried to contain.
' Why am I attracted to this man? What is the connection? '
I was with U.G. till 5 p.m. and left for Mysore."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
These encounters with U.G. prompted me to write what all I have understood from my discussions with him and from my reading of his books.
What I present here* is just my personal viewpoint...."
