S.K. Joshi was an accountant in the A.G. Office at Allahabad. He, too had received an inner enlightenment from Shri Nathji when he had first come for his darshan at the Chopras’ house, where he was a tenant.
He and his wife began to serve Shri Nathji with all their hearts at Cavendish Hotel. While he would sit outside in the lawn and await Shri Nathji’s orders, his wife would go and help cook in the kitchen. Both of them had received a faith that nothing in the world could shake.
S.K. Joshi had given a departmental examination for promotion in his office. He was a man of nervous temperament, and he discovered, much to his distress, that he had brought the answer book home instead of depositing it in the examination hall! It was too late for him to do anything about it now. This was his last chance for promotion.
Upon a sudden impulse he placed the answer book behind a small portrait of Shri Nathji in his home and prayed to Shri Nathji. The next morning when he woke up, he found to his great astonishment that the answer book was gone! He asked his family members but no one had picked it up from there.
He was pleasantly surprised when later he found his name in the list of those who had passed the examination. He came before Shri Nathji and narrated this miracle himself.
His wife’s faith in Shri Nathji equalled, if not exceeded, his own faith. The entire family acquired untold faith in Shri Nathji.
Shri S.K. Joshi was stricken with a speech defect that arose out of nervousness. He would often speak to himself as if he were mumbling. He had visited many a doctor and speech therapist but no one had been able to cure him.
Later in 1968, he came for Shri Nathji’s darshan at Delhi and began to cook for Shri Nathji. Pran Nath mistook Joshi’s mumblings for curses and so lost his temper on Joshi that he well nigh pushed him out of the house. The anger of Pran Nath worked a miracle for Joshi. His speech defect disappeared altogether and he ceased to mumble to himself thereafter. He would ever afterwards thank Pran Nath for ridding him of a disease that had plagued him all his life.
