THE REVOLVER ATTACK ON HH SHRI NATHJI

Whenever Godly Souls or Divine Beings come upon the planet earth to spread righteousness, love and peace, the powers of evil, the powers of Satan, cannot bear it, and do their best to destroy such personalities.
The powers of evil know that they cannot harm the souls of such godly folk, so they make the bodies of these godly souls, which are vulnerable, a target of their onslaughts.
The Advent of HH Shri Bhola Nathji on the planet earth was more than the forces of evil could bear. They had to blow out his light at all costs.
HH Shri Nathji had no enemies in the world, because his overpowering love turned even foes into friends, and indeed he loved his enemies as well, if any.
It was the 9th of August 1949. HH Shri Bhola Nathji was living in the Himalayas with his wife, Mahamateshwari and two children. Mahamateshwari had gone to leave the children to their school.
HH Shri Nathjj was in his room upstairs when the servant came and informed him that ten people had come to seek his blessings.
As was his wont, HH Shri Nathji dressed hastily so as not to keep the visitors waiting, and came downstairs, and outside the verandah of his home.
As he saw the ten people come towards him, he divined that they had evil intentions.
Although HH Shri Nathji was the politest and humblest of all folk in the world, yet he was as brave as a lion. People who thought his humility was a sign of his weakness were in for a surprise.
Suddenly with a voice like that of thunder from the heavens, that appeared to reverberate in the mountains and the skies, HH Shri Nathji said:
"KHABARDAAR! NO ONE DARE ADVANCE!"
All the ten folk halted in their tracks as if paralyzed by the awesome voice.
But their leader advanced towards Shri Nathji and said:
"You have paralysed my men! But I am enough all alone!"
And saying this he took out a revolver from his pocket and came to Shri Nathji and placed the revolver on his chest, saying,
"I can shoot you!"
HH Shri Nathji said to him:
"If you dont like good things to exist in this world, then go ahead and shoot!
"But let me tell you, that the revolver is in your hands, but your hand is in the hands of God!
"If it is His Will that I must live more in this world to do His work, then you cannot fire your revolver.
"But if it is His Will that my work on earth is over - then go ahead and shoot!"
The man's hand began to tremble. He could not bear to look at
HH Shri Nathji in the eyes, and sought to go behind him.
But HH Shri Nathji turned around along with him keeping his eyes fixed on him.
Just then Mahamateshwari appeared on the slope leading to the house and said loudly:
"Nathji! What is happening there?"
HH Shri Nathji who always gave the highest of respect to Mahamateshwari, made as if he were a child and said to her:
"Mataji! O Divine Mother! These people have come to shoot me!"
With a cry that was so loud that it caused the public on the Mall Road below to look up at the hill, Mahamateshwari ran up the slope towards the house.
Suddenly the assailants panicked! They were gripped by an indefinable fear and ran from the premesis, leaping over the gate and disappearing into the mountains.
Shri Nathji would ever afterwards call Mahamateshwari:
"Mushkil kushaa - the remover of all troubles!"
Later a meeting was held in the prestigious Savoy Hotel of the town where the people of the city prayed to HH Shri Nathji to file a police complaint against the would-be assailants.
But Shri Nathji forgave them all, and there the matter ended.
People rushed from various parts of India when they heard of the incident and burst out into tears when they saw HH Shri Nathji. They continued to weep even when they knew he was all right. They could not bear the thought of anything happening to their dearest and most loving Nathji, who loved everyone even more than his own self.
But it was a warning that the powers of evil were still alive in the world and that the agents of Satan stalked the righteous folk who lived in the world, so that righteousness would not spread.
It was also a warning to the powers of evil that the power of God was mightier than they had imagined and was alert to their wicked designs.
In the picture attached we see HH Shri Nathji standing outside the verandah of the old house in which he lived, along with Mahamateshwari and Priya Nath. This was the exact spot where the incident took place in 1949..
