There are hundreds of such stories where the miracles of namokara have been detailed, both in the Swetambara a well as the Digambara literature.
The mantra that created miracles in the ancient times can also do so even today; it happens too. It is common to hear that some some one had some specific benefit due to the namokara mantra; someone got clear of his ailments, some one came out of his ailments, someone came out of a tormenting predicament, someone got his lost wealth and someone were cure of effect of poisons.
A businessman from south Africa got his five kilograms of gold confiscated in an income tax raid; the case went on for months. He started the chanting of the namokara mantra. After six months he won the case and got his gold back.
Many such incidents take place everyday, but because of lack of communication and publicity the common man does not get the correct information's. We have given illustrations of five famous old stories of the effects of namokara mantra in this book; this certainly impress the readers. We narrate here a few true and famous incidents of modern times where the tangible effects of namokara mantra, based on experience, have been detailed.
1. All the plights of Abdula Rajjaka, a Muslim from Jakhaura (Jhansi), were removed by namokara mantra. A letter from him was published in the Jain Darsana (vol.5-6, year-3 p.31). We are giving the excerpts from this letter:
....I follow the rules that before sleeping I keep on chanting the namokara mantra. One winter night a large snake shared the bed with me and I was not aware of it. I dreamt as if someone was warning me that there was a snake and telling me to get up. I got up two or three times and look around with the help of a lantern. seeing nothing, I returned to the bed and slept. Due to the effect of the mantra, I did not come out of the bed on the side serpent was lying, not even once. In the morning when I got up I started to roll up the mattress. It was then that I saw the large and thick snake lying in the bed. I pulled the bedsheet. The snake immediately raised his head out, slithered out through the hanging bedsheet and went away.
The second incident is just two three months old. When the people of my community came to know that I have accepted the jainism a meeting was organised and I was called to attend. From Jakhaura I went to Jhansi and attended the message. Every one present expressed his view and raised many question. I kept on replying them all. Many people went to extent of conveying that it is better to kill such person other than allow him to convert to another religion. Thus everyone told what he thought. In the end everyone went home and I too returned to my room. In the evening just at the sunset I started my samayika (a jain meditation). When I concluded my samayika and opened my eyes I was surprised to see a large snake crawling near me. I also saw a pot placed near the door; this indicates that someone had brought the snake in the pot and left in my room. The only intention was to harm me.
But that snake did not harm me in any way. Full of fear, I enquired from the people about who had done it, but in vain. Next day when I was doing samayika the snake bit a neighbours son . The man cried and uttered," Oh! what I have done. I brought the snake for four annas to harm someone and it has bitten my own son." It was then that I came to know about the culprit. The child was given treatment. Even I helped. But he did not respond and died. That man had only one son. After fifteen days that man also died. see, what a pillar that samayika and the namokara is; the looming disaster of death and pacified and passed without harming.
2. In the modern scientific age when the medical science claims of its ultimate progress, there are still some diseases for which science fails to provides treatment. Even doctors says that the patients requires prayers and not medicines anymore. they loose hope from the patients life.
something like this happen to Sri Gulabcand Bhai
For six months Sri Gulabcand Bhai suffered from headache. Doctors were consulted and told, "I had a terrible headache, please give me proper treatment"
After extensive checkups doctors said "we cannot diagnose your disease"
One after another doctors were consulted but none of them could diagnose the disease and gave the same reply. The pain went on increasing.
One day Sri Gulabcand Bhai saw a blood clot on the mucus when he coughed. when he informed his family doctors, I lots of test were conducted. The doctor said Sri Gulabcand Bhai ! it appears to be cancer."
Hearing of cancer Sri Gulabcand Bhai became concerned. He met Dr. Kapur who examined him thoroughly and said, just know you take a course of penicillin. We shall any other treatment after that only."
With everyday passing Gulabcand Bhai's conditions deteriorated. There was inflammation and swelling in the throat. Quantity of food reduced. Even with the help of liquid no solid food could be swallowed. He was in a bad shape.
The inflamation in side the throat increased and it became difficult even to take liquids. Next day Dr. Modi was consulted. After examination and tests he said, " Gulabcand Bhai, your cancer has reached to the last stage. There is no scope of treatment . The conditions has deteriorated so much that it is not possible even to take a slice for biopsy."
After this, Dr. Modi took aside a family doctor of Gulabcand Bhai and advised him, "The patients wont last for more than a day or two. Inject sedative so that he dies peacefully."
Dejected, Sri Gulabcand Bhai and his family doctor returned. They had lost all hopes of life.
The fact was that Gulabcand Bhai had the cancer of throat and tongue. The tonsils, that assist swelling of food , were all inflamed. This cancerous inflammation of tonsils had reduced the passage in the food pipe. That is why Sri Gulabcand Bhai could not even drink water He asked his family Dr. " please do something so that I can drink water. I am thirsty , the throat is absolutely dry."
The family doctor assured, "Spend the night somehow I shall feed you some water with the help of tube tomorrow morning."
Sri Gulabcand Bhai returned home. he was already so disheartened that he was not able to build any confidence even on the assurance of the family doctor. The thought that he would not last the night kept on tormenting him. The darkness of despair started filling his mind slowly.
When the courage tires, worldly crumbles and there is not a ray of hope, man turns towards religion. Only religion provided him an allround protection. Gulabcand Bhai also thought of religion. He thought-why not chant the namokara mantra, that is the only hope now.
It was half past seven in the evening. The door of the house were closed. Seeing the last moment approaching he begged pardon from his family members and all being in the world. After this wished that all the being being happy, healthy and flourshing. Then Gulabcand Bhai drowned himself in the chanting and practice of namokara mantra the agony reduced. No desire was left except other than a purer next life.
Driven by such extreme melancholy, when a man submits to religion he forgets everything else due to resultant acuteness of faith. This acuteness of faith hastens the success in practices.
At eleven in the night Gulabcand Bhai vomited profusely and became unconscious due to extreme weakness. What happened with the chanting of the namokara mantra with such deep concentration showed his results, the cancerous infection and the contaminated blood was thrown out and the patient was cured.
Although he had fainted due to weakness, the family members took it to be coma before death. He is not going to come out of this coma, they thought and started wailing and crying. But after sometime Gulabcand Bhai regained consciousness. As he was oft rid of the disease, he felt relieved and light. If felt as if the dark clouds of torture had dispersed. He asked for water and drank two-three tumblers full.
The family members also felt relieved. A ray of hope flickered. The person could not even gulp a mouthful of water had consumed two-three tumblers. It was a sure sigh of improvement condition.
His mother asked "son have some milk"
Gulabchand Bhai said, "bring it please I shall try to drink"
The mother brought some milk. Gulabchand Bhai drank one cup of milk. He had a sound sleep. When he got up in the morning he felt exhilarated. He took tea. After four five days he started taking liquid and semi-solid food. He started regaining energy.
Gulabchand Bhai had a direct experience of the efficacy of the navakara mantra.He started silently chanting the navakara mantra all the time and wishing all being be happy and healthy. After around four weeks, Gulabchand Bhai went with his family doctor to a specialist, he was astonished. He had given only a day or two days of life to Gulabchand Bhai. He asked Gulabchand Bhai, "under whose treatment you recovered". he replied,"I had simply called Gods name. I had not taken any medicines."
How could the doctor believe that the God's name had cured Gulabchand Bhai? He asked a lot of questions, but how long could he continue asking and what new could Gulabchand Bhai relate? he had not only chanting the navakara mantra. In the end the doctor stopped inquiring.
After this he got many other worldly benefits due to the chanting of navakara mantra. He got house and shop. He could meet the desired person without any difficulty.The chanting of navakara made his life life happy.
