Guru Maharaj Darshan Das Ji: Conquering the Factory Spirit
In 1972–73, there was a factory owner who came to Guru Maharaj Darshan Das Ji as they were facing many difficulties in their workplace due to paranormal activity by a spirit called Gwyn. Sometimes the fan would fall down, the fire in the bhatti would vanish suddenly and then ignite automatically again, bulbs would break on their own, and many more strange things were happening.
These people were very worried about the ongoing disturbances at their workplace.
They approached Guru Maharaj Darshan Das Ji and said, “We are in trouble.”
Guru Ji instantly replied, “I know what problem you are facing.”
Guru Maharaj Ji, with a divine spark on his face, was already blessed with the power to know everything beforehand.
So, Guru Ji told them, “I know what issue you have come to me for.”
Guru Ji said that he would visit their factory on Thursday, as he used to keep his schedule free on Thursdays.
The owners offered, “Guru Ji, shall we come to pick you up?”
Guru Ji denied and said, “I will come by myself.”
They then said, “Guru Ji, we’ll tell you the address.”
Guru Ji instantly replied, “If I already know what problem you have come to me for, wouldn’t I also know where your factory is?”
Guru Ji then told them their exact factory address.
Astonished, the owners bowed to Guru Ji and went back, waiting eagerly for Thursday.
Guru Ji said, “You go right now. I will come on Thursday.”
As Thursday came, Guru Ji reached the factory. Upon arriving, he told all the workers to go home and close the factory for the day.
All the employees were sent home, and Guru Ji told the owners, “Wait for me. I have to visit a family residing nearby for two hours. Lock the factory.”
Guru Ji returned after eight hours. The owners had been standing outside the factory the entire time, waiting for Guru Ji.
It was 7 PM in the evening when Guru Ji arrived.
He said, “You’ve been waiting for eight hours?”
Guru Ji then asked them to bring a folding bed. “I will sleep in your factory tonight,” he said.
The owners looked at Guru Ji with concern and fear.
Guru Ji smiled and said, “What are you looking at? I asked you to bring the folding bed. I am going to sleep here tonight. Lock the door from outside.”
The factory owners and their family did as instructed. They locked Guru Maharaj Ji inside the factory and went back home, as per his instructions.
The owners couldn’t sleep the whole night, worrying about Guru Ji. They returned early in the morning around 4 AM and sat outside the factory, waiting for a signal from Guru Ji.
Around 7 AM, they heard some noises from inside the factory and thought Guru Ji had woken up.
They called out fearfully, “Baba Ji, Baba Ji, shall we open the door now?”
They didn’t hear any reply. So they sat and waited again.
An hour later, they heard the door being knocked very loudly.
They thought Guru Ji was knocking. When they opened the door, they didn’t see anyone, but found Guru Ji lying down in a resting mood.
Upon their arrival, Guru Ji smiled and said, “You all have come? Did you bring the lassi? I’m hungry,” laughing joyfully.
Then Guru Ji asked, “Did you meet the one who was in your factory and knocked the door?”
The people replied, “We didn’t see anyone.”
Guru Ji said, “He knocked the door when he realized you had come and ran from me. Since last night I was trying to make him sat beside me, but he kept running ,he was too fear form me. Let him go, now he will never head back here!” he added playfully.
The people felt great relief, as the troubling spirit was finally gone from their factory.
This is how Guru Maharaj Ji, the Supreme Power, helps the sangat in their times of distress and brings them peace.
