The date for the operation is fixed for October 19 – an unlucky number as Priya Nath feels. It was on January 19, in 1979 that the powers of evil had made their onslaught, an onslaught that was still continuing. Would October 19 be equally unlucky?“Rahe phoola phalaa yaa Rabb ye chaman meri ummeedon kaa,“O God, let this garden of my hopes remain ever fresh,All his life, Shri Nathji had poured out the vital forces within him for the service of humanity. The hearts he had given peace to were his buds, his saplings, whose roots he had nourished with the precious moments of his life.
