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 31^st 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 31^st 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.
