Saina Nehwal, India’s ace shuttler, has added precious, much needed to country’s scanty medal tally. Of course, we are joyous enough about. But the way, the medal made our kitty little heavier, is amazing. Because one who played the crucial role , did not desire its pocketing without ominous sweating.
The remark, “I never believed that India could win a medal in badminton because the competition is tough” made by Saina after winning bronze, well attests the emotional burst of Harvir, her father. Once Wang Xin, world no. 2, conceded the match due to knee injury, Harvir watching the match with his colleagues burst into tears and said, “It’s all because of the grace of Lord Venkateswara. Though it’s not fair to think in this manner but because God wanted her to win, the other girl must have got injured.” Harvir Nehwal’s heart out- pouring is spiritual with a bearing worth incising.
An ardent fan of Saina, I always craved to watch her world class matches. Alas! Could watch only a few. Thanks to governmental penchant for ‘cricket game’ with Nelson eye to the rest in matters of publicity and telecasting.
Out vacationing in Bungaluru with family, on 18th November 2010 evening watched Saina’s quarter final match Asiad 2010 at Guangzhou China against Hong kong’s Yin Pui Yip. Dominating from start Yin Pui swooped to win first game 21- 8. Disappointment was at its worst. Game ended nearly uncontested. Overwhelmed by the loss, I took to showering cosmic energy-Reiki- to Saina intuitively, with no experience of such a situation before. The situation upturned. Domineering, Saina avenged her defeat 21- 8 in the second game. Encouraged, I continued providing Reiki shower even during games interlude. The third game Saina gave excellent show of her prowess. The score was 20 – 20 with Saina serving. At this crucial juncture Saina made a critical mistake. She served short. Yin Pui refusing to play won the match, winning third game 21-20.
The match outcome, disappointed ace shuttler’s fan club. I was no exception. But the success at my intuited debut with Reik,i for one playing match, excited me to the peak. My family, with son Amuleek Singh Bijral CEO of Mountain Trail Foods witnessing, was awestruck. I, including Ashok Sharma, Dy. Director Youth & Sports Services J & k failed obtaining e-mail of Saina Nehwal for her sounding.
Stupendous powers of Reiki have been well availed off ever since I underwent level 1 and 2 courses under Rani Venkat Traditional Reiki Master of Pune in 1995 & 1996 in camp organised by army at Udhampur J&K where I then functioned as Director cum Principal Police Training College. Even after retiring as IPS,IGP, I reach out to needy free of charges for sheer happiness. Precisely this is what ploughed me in Saina’s Asiad 2010 quarter final encounter. I wish her to touch the pinnacle of her sports career bringing pride to my motherland India.
For power disruption, a curse of our country, I missed late night quarter final match of Saina in London 2012 Olympics. Excitement was high learning Saina had entered semi final. Confident of India’s star shuttler’s performance under cosmic umbrella and her success, on 2nd August Pardeep Dutta correspondent of e-channel Times Now was specially briefed about my experiment with holistic forces and results during Saina’s Asiad 2010 Guangzhou China encounter against Hong Kong player and that same would be dabbled in during her London 2012 semi -final & other matches.
Unaware about Saina’s semi final match schedule, I rushed to be before T.V. from bank when my wife informed on 3rd August that Saina semi final match was in progress and she having lost first game 21-13, was struggling half way through second game. Saina was trailing behind in second game. By the time I could adjust, the Chinese player, Yihan Wang world no.1, had clinched the 2nd game again 21-13 and the match in her favour.
On 4th August at 6pm, Saina’s match for bronze started. Electricity failed but Gauvish J.E. rescued us timely. Connecting to Saina, provided swathes of Reiki. Saina lost well contested 1st game 18-21. Reiki shower continued uninterruptedly with intensity of energy flow increasing in 2nd game. The score was 14-20. Saina saved four game points and score was 18-20 when Xin Wang of China trying to play Saina’s shot suffered knee injury. She limped with pain. Xin signalled conceding the match.
Though, painstakingly involved at ensuring success for Saina, the way the victory came was least desired. It didn’t get me the taste of a win. Reiki shower was meant to bring dominance over the opponent by boosting positive charge and not to weaken the opponent. Reiki is positive and not negative. Distressed over seeing Xin writhe in pain it’s apt to rethink applying Reiki in sports arena. Yes I wished Saina a victory Olympic medal. But not the way it has come.
