I Bijay Mishra, of Jamalpur, Munger, India want to share with you the experience of ‘after life’. Although I believed in rebirth, I never believed in spirits, ghosts or ghouls. One day I got a chance to read the pages of a book on afterlife by a famous author, B.D.Rishi. After reading the book I became more inquisitive about afterlife. How these entities live & in what space they live, what they do, do they ever feel the pangs of hunger or thirst like us, were queries which popped up in my mind now & then. In the year 1974 I was on a job in Jamalpur Railway Workshop. One day during lunch hour, our senior engineer Ramnaresh Mishra started a topic on afterlife. I said I have read too, but I am in two minds. My intellectual mind does not believe in such gossip but the inner mind is inquisitive. Smiling at me Mr. Mishra replied whether you believe it or not it has happened in my life. Today I shall narrate the story to you. Every one present became attentive. The officer started, “Twenty years back I was living alone near my place of work. I met a spirit & my relation with her became close”. One of us inquired smilingly, “a lady spirit, Sir?” Yes! said Mr. Mishra. “Every night she would make a visit. We talked a lot. She used to tease me often. Sometimes she painted my feet red. Every day a new topic & some new teasers.” Mr. Mishra was a senior officer, with gravity built in to his nature & none of us could ever doubt his word! We, could not take him lightly & laugh it out! because he earned our respect due to his character. He continued with the ‘spirit’ episode for few days more, in such a lively manner that many of our doubts seemed cleared. I was impressed by him, most. The astonishing thing for me was that the ghost was a woman of Muslim faith as per Mr. Mishra. The time passed like the water of adjacent river. Days later Mr. Mishra came straight to my section. He was highly perturbed. In a disturbed voice he confided, “Vijay, she came again after twenty years! She told me it was because I contemplated on her. I am finished, you understand what I mean! I am a family man now, with grown up children. I don’t want any of the things that occurred twenty years back, to happen again because of her. It was different then!” I tried to console him. But inside, I was afraid too ! However I advised him to utilize the power of Gayatri, to ward off the entity. “Do regular chanting along with meditation of the rising sun, Sir. And do not forget the Gayatri Yajna,”I told him. I saw him listening intently! Again on the third day he came to me in a normal mood & uttered that the ghost, Shanti is coming every night for a chat but she is no more like the old ghost, she used to be. She is so sober & wise. She even told, “I know Vijay.” Hearing this I was at a loss! How does she know me? How a muslim soul can have a name of Shanti? Any way I requested Mr. Mishra to ask her when she appears again. The very next day Mr. Mishra took me to a place where no one would disturb us & said, “You are her brother by initiation.” I was a little relieved. But I had many questions! Now it means she was initiated by my spiritual Master. How it is possible? A Muslim woman taking initiation from Him? Where it happened & when? I requested my senior officer to retrieve the data from the spirit. “ Sir, Please find out from sister, Shanti the answers, I said with a benign smile. By now I stopped to worry or fear!” The next day Mr. Mishra said, “Well Vijay she was initiated by your Master, Pundit Shriram Sharma Acharya!” I was not going to leave it at that & queried, “How was it possible?” “In 1970 a 108 kundi(pit) Gayatri MahaYajna was performed at Tata Nagar. She strayed in to the area along with many similar entities! They were all attracted by the sanctity of the environment due to the Yajna. They collectively met your percepter.” “Oh great Rishi, prayed the ghosts! These humans whom you are addressing will be saved, we realize, but what will happen to us? Who will save us? Neither we have the physical body, nor we have a place of abode, we just get straying all the time! You are the avatar(incarnation) of the Supreme Consciousness, we know, please take pity on us & save us!” Then your Master called all such wise ghosts to a large field away from the Yajna area and initiated the lot with Gayatri Mantra & gave each a suitable name as identity. The Muslim spirit got the name Shanti. I didn’t take leave of my officer with this information alone. New queries were popping up, so I requested him query her, what they do in the astral world? Again next day I got the information from him that they work at the behest of my Master, under His discipline . I became a little greedy for more information & wanted to know from sister Shanty, what the great Acharya is doing in the Himalayas & where exactly he is, for I knew he was in the Himalayas at that time. Shanti declined to give information, saying they are bound by a limit, so could not divulge anything beyond that. By this time I started believing in astral bodies of entities. My queries about the changing of this undesirable era to a more humanitarian one was answered. Thousands & thousands of us are working in our own humble way at Master’s instructions in this visible world & millions must be working in the invisible astral world guaranteeing the change, a change for a better world & better world order! A year after this incident, Shanti talking to me through Mr. Mishra, she vanished. Even though we tried to contemplate on her, she did not appear. A great change has occurred to Mr. Mishra & he got initiated too. In the year 1975, I was allowed to come to Shantikunj, in Haridwar. A spiritual camp for return of pranic(life) energy was being held under the spiritual guidance of the Master. There was a day when each sadhak could ask intimate questions to the Master. When my turn came I just uttered the word Shanti, whose memory was still afresh in my mind! At once, without waiting for me to complete the sentence, the great Rishi started talking looking towards the horizon, Son! clothings changed, clothings changed! I understood the meaning; She took birth in human form! I could not collect my courage to further query the great sage. I saluted the revered saint & left ………..
