Chapter 9 : The Wisdom of Pandit Vasudev
Startled, they all are turned to see that person who just said this words. Everyone felt a powerful devine yet gentle presence of that person. He wore a saffron dhoti and a white kurta, with a Chandan and red tilak on his forehead. His well-maintained dark beard and shiny black hair added to his strong appearance and his body maintained with yoga and sadna (meditation) the perfect slim and fit. He entered the sanctum, bowed to the deity, and placed his hand on Sayali's forehead.
"How are you, Sayali?" he asked, his voice is strong yet polite.
Sayali bowed respectfully, "Namaste, Panditji I am well and good. How you are doing Panditji."
by the blessing of Lord Narshima I am Absolutely fine .
The others followed suit, greeting him, and seeking his blessings. Panditji blessed them, wishing them intelligence, power, and strength. Meera felt an overwhelming sense of positive energy from him.
Panditji looked at Meera and said, "The universe will guide you, to where you need to be.” That's why you are here.
Confused, Meera asked, "I'm sorry, Panditji, but I don't understand what are you trying to say."
Panditji smiled, bowed to Lord Narasimha again, and took a bundle of cotton strings from the deity's seat. He tied the strings around everyone's wrists, then asked them to follow him towords his beautiful hut . The driver stayed behind in the van to rest while the children followed Panditji to his house at the hill's edge.
The house, surrounded by medicinal plants and flowers, offered a panoramic view of the village and its farms along with few animals like dog , cow, goats and few birds etc. The children played with the calves, goats, and dogs around the house while Panditji and Meera watched.
Panditji introduced himself, "My name is Vasudev. What is your name?"
"Meera," she replied. "I am from Pune, here came with my family and friends."
Panditji nodded. "So, you are Dr. Sanket's daughter. And these are Dr. Yash's children?"
Meera confirmed, "Yes, that's Supriya and Jayesh."
Panditji remarked, "You all have bright futures ahead of you." He then turned to Meera, "I know you have questions in your mind. I have been waiting for all of you for a long time."
Meera, puzzled, said, "I'm sorry, Panditji, but I don't understand."
Panditji reiterated, "As I said in the temple Meera, 'The universe will guide you, to where you need to be.' I knew you would come here one day, and I know you want to ask me a question regarding what you all experience. But first, let's sit inside my house. It's sunny out here."
He led them inside his modest home, which was filled with the fragrance of medicinal plants and flowers. They sat on a wooden platform while Panditji settled on his seat, offering them some fruits to eat.
