In the summer of 1999, I sat with Swami Vishwananda in his parents' house in Mauritius. A young boy of nineteen years old travelled from far on his motorbike to visit Swami Vishwananda for the first time. He said that his father had many dreams of Swami Vishwananda, although he had not actually met him. The young boy was curious to know why Vishwananda was communicating with his father in this bizarre manner? Vishwananda conversed at length with the young man while I sat beside them. They swopped tales and laughed wholeheartedly while getting to know each other better. Suddenly Swami Vishwananda playfully hit him on his hip. The young boy was amazed to find out the pain that had troubled him for many years had gone. Swami Vishwananda said jokingly: "Tell your father that your pain on your hip is gone and you came here for this reason only."
