It is the 1st of September, 1987. Priya Nath is always worried whenever September comes in any year. It had always been a month that had proved to be inauspicious for Shri Nathji. It was in September 1980 at Mussoorie that Shri Nathji and Priya Nath were subjected to harassment and false cases that consumed a lot of their time and energy. Again it was in September 1981 that Shri Nathji had had the dreaded X-Ray taken which confirmed the diagnosis of Cancer. It was in September 1983 that Veeran Devi died. Finally it was in September 1992 that Shri Nathji left the planet earth in his physical form. Strangely enough in his book ‘Mrityu ka Rahasya’, The Secret of Death, Shri Nathji had attached a handwritten note on Death. The note was dated September 1972.(1)Meri mushkil me aate ho mere mushkil kushaa tum ho,Thou cometh to my aid in every trouble, Thou art my Saviour,(2)Zamaana aayaa hai raahaton kaa, nazar men sabke vo yaar hogaa,The Age of Bliss has come, the Eternal Friend shall be seen by all,(3)Nakaab rukh se utthaa ke ab too jahaan ki nazaron men phir se aajaaLift up the Veil from Thy Face and come before the eyes of the worldShri Nathji usually wears a yellow ‘rumaal’, head kerchief, and a green cotton shawl in bed these days as he writes till late hours of the night, which turn into the early hours of the morning.
