Param Gurudev’s discovery of Shree Uvasaggahar Stotra is very inspiring. He had just entered the second year of his ascetic life when he contracted a severe illness and vomited 80 per cent of his blood. Doctors had concluded that he had just a few moments to survive. On hearing this, the 22-year old saint started reciting Namaskar Mahamantra. He was fearless even in the face of death, and was preparing himself to welcome death peacefully.

Destiny, however, had something very different in store for him. He was born to lead countless souls on the path of truth. And so, in those precious moments, the words of a stotra which he had never read or heard before, started emanating from within. He himself was confused. But the more he tried to correct himself, the stronger the inner force of that unknown mantra became. He felt an unexplainable inner strength and asked the doctors to begin the treatment, with a self-confidence that he would survive. To their absolute surprise, he came out of danger within a few hours and started recovering.

Since then, he has mastered and actualised the Mantra with deep sadhana and meditative practice, uncovering the hidden energy of every syllable, word and stanza of this stotra.
