Victor Kanu from South Africa
Swami when He wants to get people
for His divine mission, get them from whichever the place they
belong to. Here is a story about one such a personality, Victor
Kanu, Who was brought into Bhagawan’s fold by Bhagawan Himself and
later served to the society immensely. Here is a story narrated by
one of my friends, who saw the video cassette of this noble
devotee and called me to narrate this story. My humble request to
all the readers, if you happen to come across this kind of tales,
please send a mail to this group and this will immensely benefit
all the members.
Victor Kanu is a diplomat of South African nation and is very
simple and noble in thought. He liked to serve the mankind and a
very religious person. One day he dreamt a very strange dream. His
ancestors and elders appeared to him, they garbed him in his sleep
and carried away to great and unknown heights. Then they entered
him into a big hall with dooms and lights, which was never seen by
this gentleman earlier. Then there appeared a short form in red
robe and dark curly hair. This person called him, talked to
sweetly and blessed. Victor could not understand what the person
was talking about. He only noticed that the form was talking to
him charmingly, affectionately like his mother loved him at
childhood. It was like home coming to this elderly person. He was
loved cared and blessed. Then appeared his ancestors to grab him
back from that person. Victor got up from sleep only to know that
it was not in reality but only in dream. It was so vivid and
thrilling for this diplomat that he wanted to know the person who
appeared in his dream. A few days later an old friend of him came
to his place and in the conversation the stranger took out a
photograph of Baba. The moment Victor saw, he recognized that it
was the same personality, who he had seen in the dream and wanted
to know about. The stranger gave him all the details of Baba and
the way to reach Parthi and went on his way.
Victor Kanu, came to Parthi to see who this personality was, from
South Africa. The very first day Baba called him for a personal
interview and told him about the dream. Swami said you have to a
lot of service to the society, that is the reason why I had called
you. From that moment onwards, Victor dedicated his life to Swami’s
mission. He stayed in Parthi for a long time to understand the
mission and activities of Swami. The generally religious person
started seeing a meaning to his life. He went back to South Africa
and started a small school in South Africa with a group of 30
students and started teaching them. He selected students who were
discarded from schools because of merit and educated them. He
taught them the value system which he learnt from Baba’s ideals.
Incidentally this was the first Baba school outside Parthi. His
services and teachings were so popular that now South African
government has given the responsibility of revamping the total
education system in the country.
This very inspirational character, is very eloquent in his ideals
and speech, as my friend was narrating, one should listen to his
lecture on Bhagawan mission. I will try to grab this cassette at
the earliest to display for all of us.
Incidentally, he is the person who had the hostel constructed in
Brindavan.
