Guru Story - NEVER DOUBT GURIJI

I was in love with a boy in my college days for the last 4 years.When i was in final year during campus time many companies visited our college but i unfortunately we both could not get through it.Last company was WIPRO ,so i was expecting a lot but again same ,i could not made through it.But i was more depressed because my boyfriend could not get through it.Those days i was very depressed,frustrated .Even i stopped my kriya & stopped believing on guruji also.
11th june 2010,the last day of our college days.I still remember that day.We all friends decided to have lunch together.That day i was carrying a bag in which by mistake i carried all my original certificates of 10th,12th,college registration card.That file also contained admit card of SSC exam of my boyfriend.While doing lunch some body stole my bag.After lunch only we came to know about it.We all searched it a lot but all in drain.That time also i was more worrying about him,his SSC exam rather than my own certificates.In all those tensed environment after seeing my concern towards my boyfriend more rather than on myself,1 of my close friend disclosed me something that changed my life.From her i came to know that he was dating some other girl from last 1 an half month.He was not at all loyal to me.Later he too accepted it all.That was the worse day of my life.Though i tried a lot but did not get a job & now on last day of college lost my all original certificates.And most importantly i lost my love,my trust ,that i always used think as my asset in my life.I broked up completely
Next day i had my train for my home town.I came back.There at home i had to go through many procedures of courts ,in order to issue my certificates again.But in my heart i was feeling everything will be fine.Exactly 4 days after incident i got a call from a person from berhampur(where my is college situated) that he got a file containing some certificates from a raod side dustbin.Those people took my bag and thrown that file containing certificates in dustbin.After getting his call i forget breathing for a while.Then 1 by 1 i asked him about all the certificates.I thanked him alot & at the same time remembered my guruji.Then he couriored me all my certificates.And i got my certificates back.That day i remembered GURUJI ,cried a lot and understood the reason which he wanted to show me.

This was a miracle for me.That good man returned my career to me.And i felt so guilty that i doubted guruji!!!!!. , i left believing on guruji for 1 boy who finally ditched me.If that day my bag had not being stolen ,i would have never came to know about his actual face.I must have being made fooled later also.It was all a miracle,loosing of bag ,then again getting it back.In this way GURUJI saw me the correct path,he took out me from unknown truth.He saved my life from becoming more painful.
In life we faces many problems,and many times we stop believing god,our guruji!! but guruji never leaves us.He 's always with us,holding our hands,showing us the right path.Now am happy and always feel GURUJI with me,around me.
ONCE GURUJI CAME INTO YOUR LIFE ,NOTHING WRONG CAN HAPPEN TO YOU………….JGD!!!

Journey from House Wife to an IAS Officer
JaiGurudev !!
My journey from house wife to an IAS officer is really full of ups & downs. During my tiring preparation i experience lots of frustrations,many times I thought to give up not only preparation of Civil Services but also my Life. But at the Crucial Pont of time my friend suggested to take 'Basic Course' of Art of Living .
Initially I took admission to Course as A causal nature .But at the end of course I changed in and out .At the end of course I realized that everybody has greater or Smaller problem in life and it be can be tackled. Guruji (Shri Shri Ravi Sankar Ji )at crucial point of time given me help .Our teacher in Basic Course told that henceforth your all problems were those of Gurujis.It is true that I experienced the thing in Dicto .Now Now Sudarsan Kriya has become indispensable part of Life .The Kriya has given the
experience that life is full of goodness and Joy and there is someone to take care.Now in future in position of authority I sincerely will try to promote this way as art to live life on mass basis.
Guruji has given the world the treasure of how to learn Art of Living. I wish everybody should pursue it and experience the beauty of Life.

Guru Story - How Lucky

Every moment I live..every breath I take is by the Guru's grace; there are innumerable Guru stories in my life from the smallest desire being fulfilled to the most unexplainable event.
But here is a recent one.
Recently Guruji had sent a message asking everyone to be extra careful while travelling between the 24th-27th January saying that it was accident prone and so people should take utmost caution to travel. However what He did not add was that He is there like a protection shield around you.
What happened on this fateful day was..I started for home from office earlier than usual as we were having the first ever 'Yoga Jam' of London that evening.
As I came up to the pedestrian crossing I checked the road (remembering to be careful ); there were no cars coming so I started crossing at the zebra crossing…..few steps in the crossing I look to my left and I see a car coming emerging from the roundabout but I keep on walking expecting the car to stop as it is my Right of way (at least people follow rules in London or so i thought)..however in the next 5 seconds or so what happens is I see a strong glare of light out of the corner of my eyes I am lifted off my feet and thrown to the side the road. I would like to go in a slow motion over this sequence of event …the car came and hit me at 45 km/hr and the driver swerved to his left at the last moment(please read Guruji made him swerve at the last moment so that I did not have to take the full impact of the car) which caused only the right side of the car to hit my left side..the impact was so hard that I was lifted of my feet..however the amazing thing is when I fell on my stomach I fell so lightly as if it was a feather touch …as if I have been gently lifted and placed on the ground.
From the paramedics, to the doctor who checked me ( and I believe the guy who hit me) wondered how I did not break any bones after being hit so hard.
Everyone kept on repeating how lucky I was … who knows that better than me how lucky I am to have Guruji in my life who takes care of each and everything.
I had a bad bruise on my left leg but other than not a single scratch on my body ; there were lot of speculations about how lucky I was that hadn't the car hit me where it had..had it been 2 cm either side both my legs would have suffered broken bones.
However here I am jumping on both my legs and waiting to melt in the beloved gaze of my Guru.
Guruji I love you so much.
Jai Guru Dev

Guru Story - Being Blessed

This incident dates back to two and half year, yes our Silver Jubilee Year. My wife was carrying our second child. The growth, movement of baby and health of the mother was excellent for initial three months. During a routine checkup post first three months, it was noticed that there is no weight gain in baby as well as mother. Doctors decided to wait for two more weeks and advised us for sonography.

After two weeks, we went for sonography in the morning and went to our gynecology doctor in the evening with the report. The mood and face of doctor turned yellow. He explained to us that the report is negative and there are serious problems. The head of baby has grown bigger; the movements have slowed down and told us that these are the indications of "Down Syndrome". This means the child would be mentally retired and can be a serious problem for the child and family if we allow the baby to born. To this my wife became seriously depressed & became stressful. Holding her hand with chanting of gentle Jai Gurudev I tried to assure her that nothing of this sort will happen.

Doctor advised us to go for Culture test on fluid inside uterus. This is said to be ultimate test to conform "down Syndrome". This procedure is complicated and may sometimes result in to abortion or injury to baby. With creating and assuring of HIS bliss my wife went for the test. It takes three weeks for the culture to develop. The three weeks were spent by my wife & our family as if those were three years. During this period I was assuring her to keep faith in HIM and Blessing the baby "Jai Gurudev" as many times as I could. I was very sure that everything would be fine and nothing can go wrong when Guruji is with us.


After three weeks we got call from hospital that the report is ready and we can collect the report, with heavy heart and loads of weight on our legs we went to collect the report. The first question my wife asked the doctor even when we were still to enter her cabin that "How is the report?" and happily she replied "everything is normal, consult your gynec doctor for further advice." On this my wife looked completely relived with reinstating strong faith in Guruji.


With the report we rushed to Gynec doctor, on seeing the report he got relived. Wished us all the best and continued with normal regular treatment. 17th August 2006 we became proud parents of healthy girl child. Her name is Jahanvi. Today she is quarter to three and recently joined the school to attend ply group. She enjoys satsang and all the AOL bhajans. I remember what Guruji once said, "Look backward with gratitude, upward confidence and forward with hope"
