Modi and the sadhana of zero sleep.* Doctor Sharad Thakar is a very popular writer and doctor by profession from Gujarat. His novel 'Singhpurush' on the life of Veer Savarkar is very popular. Four editions of this novel were published within one year.
When the doctor met Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the interaction he had with him was... Honorable Prime Minister Narendrabhai welcomed us warmly. In the beginning I simply asked him Narendrabhai how are you ? how is it going ? Normally common answers are "going very well". But Narendrabhai did not say so. He seriously said "No. Everything is not fine. Right now I am doing a sadhana, to gain control over sleep! I said... But as far as I know you only sleep for two and a half hours, so why this ? He said... In fact I am missing even this twenty one and a half hours. I want to reach zero sleep state. I mean the third final stage ? - I. "So you also know about this!" - Narendra Bhai. I said "Yes. I am also a seeker. Of course not as much as you, but just behind you. We all know that Shri Bajrangbali never sleeps and in the Ramayana it is said that brother Lakshmana kept watch day and night outside Sri Rama-Sita's Parnakuti. During the fourteen year exile Laxman did not sleep even for a moment. I know that not to sleep even for a moment is the highest stage of Sadhana! Meanwhile, when I asked him about his sadhana in the Himalayas, he said yes. It is true. I got the vision of Maa Durga but she ordered me to go back and do nation's service! I asked, 'Why do you want this zero sleep state for?' He solemnly said, "Our country India is great but it has been looted for centuries. My poor brethren have fallen into the abyss of corruption. I want to bring them up, for that I have to work round the clock for 24 hours. For that I want to achieve this zero sleep state." His eyes were teary while telling this and mine also while listening to it. I said - 'Your name is at the top of the list of terrorists. In this condition don't you feel afraid ?' He solemnly said "I am not afraid of death. No one can kill me till the task for which Mother has sent me back is completed and no one can save me once it's over. Also we have seen in our country that even after having so many commandos, bodyguards when the time came death suddenly followed." This is our Prime Minister! I am not one of those who blindly worship anyone. Even while buying a simple clay pot we test it by tapping it twice. And he is just a human being. Crores of people in our country have elected him as the Prime Minister after so many tests and that's why I support him.
