How to Embrace Pain : When Sickness Comes Can Health Be Far Behind? Dada J P Vaswani's Journey to Recovery

When this greeting emerges in unison from a million hearts on 2 August 2010, it won''t just be a birthday wish -- but a salutation to the guru, a humble obeisance to him, an assertion of faith, an expression of profound gratitude to God, and a jubilation of Dada''s presence in our lives. This book is an account of the pain, suffering and healing that Rev. Dada J P Vaswani went through -- a journey of recovery which is an inspiration to all of us. Brought out especially to celebrate Dada''s 92nd birthday, this book is also an outpouring of love, reverence arid devotion for a guru who is indeed a mats, pits, bandhu sakha, guide, guardian, friend, mentor and a dearly beloved elder brother to everyone whose lives have been touched by his abounding, abiding grace. The book also commemorates a historical occasion, when members of the Sadhu Vaswani Satsang world-wide, will celebrate their beloved Master''s birthday in New York -- for the very first time. The fact of the matter is that this unique celebration follows an unfortunate accident that caused a major injury to Rev. Dada; it also resulted in a three-month long period of hospitalisation, excruciating pain and enforced rest, which was a period of agony for his devotees across the world. But Dada''s exemplary attitude and patient acceptance of his pain and suffering, leading to his remarkable recuperation and recovery has proved the truth of his assertion: every incident, every accident of life is a gift from the pure hands of God. He is always with us, watching us and watching over us! Dada is not just a mentor and teacher: he is a living saint whose life is his message. Above all, this book is a tribute to the tremendous spirit of courage, fortitude, faith and optimism with which Dada embraced pain and suffering, showing us the perfect way to tackle the problems that life is constantly throwing at us!
