Dr. Narula of Sri Udaigiri Research Center, National Hwy No. 5, Bhubaneswara. Manufacturer of jiva sin drops which instantly cure sore throat and eliminate stomach problems also. Rs 15 only. I did not believe it. Then on the train coming back from Vrndavana, Bhagavata insisted i try some to cure my then sore throat, and son-of-a-guna if it didn't actually work instantly! This man was some kind of medical /ayurvedic genius.He liked our little straw and mud hut ashrama, and wanted me to study medicine with him, but I did not see it as a good move back then, being too stupid. Uneducated happy brahmacari reading CC all day. So i was getting a real education.
Dr Narula also kept Brghu samhita, the Vedic Book of Lives, and told me how it had been lost, but rediscovered by a Sanskritist as he ate puris from a cup made of one of it's pages, the whole traced won and consequently discovered minus the portions handed out by samosa wallas. Brghu Muni had recorded the astrological lives of all the living entities in it. My Name was in there. I was apparently a ranking ksatriya officer in one recent past life, goofed up or caused some problems for sages during a forced retreat, and consequenlty i should do some penance to atone.
We used to drink water from the well near his center. It cures all kinds of internal illnesses, is famous across the world. Kundagiri. We had one red clay pot, Vaisnava das would ride our ashrama Hero bicycle , heavy and black and solid as a rock, there, and come back with a fresh pot. That sat on the floor in our room, with a steel glass atop, and the ehat and evaporation through the clay pot kept the water always cold. the hotter it got, the colder the water, in fact. It was here that i took my initiation by baptism into the ritual of drinking from a common cup without touching it with lips; gracefully lifting the shiny cold steel cup a-high, positioning it just so, tilting, tilting.....then forthwith pouring water all over one's face and kurta. This did not force me to go thirsty, however.
