On February 22, 1980, Khorshed and Rumi Bhavnagri lost both their sons, Vispi and Ratoo, in a tragic car crash. The Bhavnagris’ faith in God was shaken. With both their sons gone, they felt they had nothing to live for. They thought they would not survive for long.
A month later, something miraculous happened. Through a medium, the Bhavnagris received a message from their deceased sons that they were happy and at peace in the spirit world. Over the next few months, Khorshed and Rumi, with the help of their sons, developed powers of complete concentration and relaxation which made direct communication between parents and their sons possible through a process known as Automatic Writing.
Vispi and Ratoo thus conveyed to their parents a desire to dictate a book containing the laws of the spirit world, for which they had obtained special permission from higher souls. They thought it would be of considerable benefit to human beings to know the true laws of God and the spirit world, which, if followed, would help Earth souls advance spiritually.
As friends, and even strangers, heard of Khorshed and Rumi’s communication with their sons, they came pouring in at the Bhavnagri residence. Khorshed and Rumi slowly realized that by reducing the pain of others through selfless service, their own pain was considerably reduced. They provided guidance and comfort to both young and old.
By sharing their story, they prevented people who had suffered a similar loss from being consumed by sadness. They counseled people regarding various problems, but eventually they nourished those souls who had a true thirst for spiritual knowledge and a desire to improve spiritually.
Through this book, and the life they led, the Bhavnagris prove that even though human beings might face an insurmountable amount of pain, if the desire for healing is genuine, something higher, more powerful awaits – an understanding of God’s Laws and a transformation of the soul. The Earth is a school, a spiritual battleground where the soul is constantly trained and tested, and the aim is to emerge from this school stronger, wiser, and more compassionate.
If life is a journey then there is no doubt that Khorshed and Rumi Bhavnagri were two of its most inspiring travelers.
