MIRACLE AT HARVARD
=====================
By Priya Nath Mehta
When I first came to Harvard, one of the most intellectual centers of learning in the USA, and also the most famous, I was confronted by some of the best brains from all over the world.
Sitting in a class of students meant that I was sitting with "toppers" from their Universities and countries, and it was a "tough fight" just to stay on at Harvard.

When I first came to Harvard, one of the most intellectual centers of learning in the USA, and also the most famous, I was confronted by some of the best brains from all over the world.
Sitting in a class of students meant that I was sitting with "toppers" from their Universities and countries, and it was a "tough fight" just to stay on at Harvard.
It
is said that it is very difficult to get into Harvard, but very easy to
get out! Or rather be kicked out of there if you dont match up to their
standards. I saw some of my friends get dismissed from the University.
I hated science and I hated Physics most of all, and here I was, studying for my Ph.D in Nuclear Physics, and Astrophysics.
All my life I had wanted to study the Arts but because the choices in school in India were limited, here I was forced into Physics by my own bad choice!!
But strange as it may seem, I found the atmosphere very spiritual amongst a bunch of atheists and scientists. The students and teachers were the kindest, humblest and the most helpful I had ever seen. And this according to me was one of the highest stages of spirituality. Though they did not believe in God but they believed in goodness. They had not seen the Sun but they moved in its Light.
I wondered whether my Father's miracles would reach out across the oceans to get me out of a difficult situation at any time.
And there came the time when I was faced with the challenging Ph.D Orals Examination, with three of the most eminent scientists of the University sitting before me to ask questions.
I found I was able to answer most of their questions, but there was a learned Prof.Lazer, an Astrophysicist, ( Physicist and Astronomer combined) whose questions were so difficult that I was baffled for a while. In fact I didnt know the answers at all!!
It was then that I offered a silent prayer to my Father, HH Shri Bhola Nathji, who was sitting across the oceans thousands of miles away, to get me out of the tough situation.
And a miracle happened! The Department Secretary interrupted the examination and said to Dr. Lazer: "Sir, you are urgently wanted at home! It is very important!"
And so Dr. Lazer excused himself and left the examination hall in a rush!! He did not return. And I was saved from the volley of his questions and passed the examination with flying colours!!
It is my sincere advice to people to have similar Faith in HH Shri Bhola Nathji and you will see him rush to your aid wherever you are in any part of the world, and call out to him!!
