This is a tale of my cousin’s
great grandfather, Late Shree Mathura Prasad Agnihotri. They say that he had
some super natural power of seeing the future. It’s said that he acquired those
powers through sadhna (spiritual practices) offered to Goddess Chandrika, a
temple based in outskirts of Lucknow. He did mention once or twice about the
toughness of this spiritual process to his close ones. He said that he had
fractured all his bones, went food-less for endless number of days, etc. The
process was really tough but what he was awarded was special, it was one of its
kinds. He could see the future. He didn’t predict anything on his own, instead
a girl child, who was a helper at his home, used to utter the predictions he
made. She is a Parliamentarian today. He was famous, even the Bollywood stars-
Rekha & Jitendra visited him. Some of today’s industrialists and
bureaucrats are said to have flourished under his supervision. It’s said that
he was to pay a visit to Indira Gandhi on 31st October 1984. Indira ji made
arrangements for his visit. My Tau ji was to accompany him to Prime Minister’s
Residence at 1, Safadarjung road in New Delhi. My Tau ji did all his packing
and reached his home to pick him up but then to his surprise ‘Dadda-ji’
cancelled the visit. No one used to enquire the reasons behind any of his
decisions. But on 31st October
the reason was clear, he knew about Indira Ji’s assassination. Now the question
arises, why didn’t he try to stop the assassination? He could have saved the
life of 8000 or more Indians.
If it’s true that he could see
the future, it means that the future is pre-decided. Now this implies that we
are mere puppets in the hands of some supernatural power. Today, the world’s
population is 7.14 billion as estimated by U.S Census Bureau. Then there are
8.74 million species ‘known’ on earth. So now if the future is decided, the
super natural power has to mange and record every life event of (7.14 billion
humans + 8.74 million * x + y*z) organism, where x = average population of all
the species, y= the number of unknown species, z = average population of
unknown species. This really is a hectic work. All the supercomputers of the
world combined, may fail. Then if someone like my cousin’s grandfather hacks
the logic and changes the code, the system of that Supernatural power may fail
too. So this might be an answer as to why didn’t he reveal Indira Ji’s
assassination plan, so that the Supernatural Power’s system may not crash. But
then again the question arises, if we are the creation of some Supernatural
power, how can he be so in-human & barbaric to have caused incidents like
Delhi gang-rape, massacre, riots, 9-11, 26/11, etc.
Dadda Ji had three sisters, all
of them unmarried till date. The reason being, Dadda ji’s prediction of their
short life if they get married. So now the question is as to why was he
partial? Did he not exploit the loop-hole in supernatural power’s code now? If
he could save his sisters life, why can’t he save Indira ji’s life? Then there
is this question, how & why was Dadda ji blessed by Chandrika Devi. Was
this too pre-decided? Chamdrika Devi is one of the 330 million Hindu deities.
Do all the 330 million deities have such great powers to offer? Is Hindu
religion above all religions? What about Gods of other religions? Do they too
have such powers to offer?
Now, if we are being controlled
by some supernatural power, what is it that he wants from us? Why has he
created the earth, its atmosphere, the sun, the moon and other elliptical
bodies? Why has he chosen earth for creating life on it? Why is everyone
different from each-other? What is the purpose of our life? What is it that he
wants from us? There are far too many questions to be answered for us to
justify wading through this endless labyrinth.
Well, I think that it’s the
power of humans that can make them do anything they want. In my opinion, it was
meditation that led Dadda ji decipher the God’s code. I believe in one
supernatural power, ie., God. I believe in one-ness of all religions and
humanity to be above all.
