Can anyone truly have control over the five great elements — Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space? Only Lord Dattatreya and the Sadgurus who work as His representatives. No other deity holds such authority. The human body is created from these five elements; bones, flesh, organs and senses arise from them. From conception the body grows, every organ develops, and life takes form. But if an organ is absent from birth, can it be created later? And can it be created fully functional in an adult body? A Sadguru, having mastery over the five elements, has full authority not only over His own body but over anyone’s body, because all bodies are composed of these elements.
One such example occurred when Shri Vyankatnath Maharaj visited a devotee named Vyas for a ceremonial *padya-puja*. Many respected people, including lawyers and doctors, were present. The Vyas couple were deeply sorrowful because they were childless. After countless tests and treatments, nothing helped. Finally, the Mission Hospital in Jalna issued a written report stating, “This woman does not have a uterus. Hence she can never conceive in this lifetime.” Their last hope collapsed. They tried vows, fasts, prayers and rituals, but their suffering only deepened. They accepted that they would remain without children.
A disciple named Parker insisted that Maharaj must visit the Vyas family. Although the Vyas couple did not know Maharaj well, they invited Him out of respect. After the worship, Maharaj casually asked what the man did for a living. Seeing the couple’s sorrow, the wife explained their infertility situation. Maharaj gently said He did not know medical science, but He would solve their problem. Immediately a lawyer objected, saying it was impossible and that Maharaj should not give false hope. Maharaj remained calm and said He could see their pain and would bless her. Placing a coconut in her lap, He declared, “Two years from today, your cradle will move.”
A doctor insisted that conception was impossible without a uterus. Maharaj simply replied, “If it is God’s wish, the organ will be created. You wait for two years.” Everyone doubted Him — except the Vyas couple, who felt hope for the first time.
At that time, Narendra was with Maharaj. After returning home, he asked, “Maharaj, why did you say two years?” Maharaj answered that since the organ had never existed, it needed to be newly created and strengthened to match her current age. Nine months were needed for pregnancy, and the remaining time was required for the organ to form and mature. Even two years, He said, was very little for such a divine task.
Everyone waited. Exactly two years later — her cradle moved; she conceived. A woman medically declared *without a uterus* became a mother. Later, she even delivered a second child — a son and a daughter. Doctors were astonished. How had an organ missing since birth been created? How had it grown to adult size so quickly? How did it function perfectly — twice?
The answer is simple: her body was made of the five elements, and Vyankatnath Maharaj had mastery over those elements. There was no ritual, no elaborate ceremony — only a coconut placed in her lap with divine will behind it. Only a Sadguru can give motherhood where nature has denied it. Only Guru-tattva can make the impossible possible.
