NOTHING STANDS BEFORE HIS WILL

NOTHING STANDS BEFORE HIS WILL

I was at Bengaluru Ashram for Shivaratri 2012 AMC (advance meditation course). The Shivaratri celebrations were filled with such bliss and ecstasy as I have never experienced before.

Shivaratri fell on the 20th which also happened to be the day our course ended. I was to leave early morning on the 21st as I had a flight to catch at 9:10 AM and the Bengaluru Airport is about an hour and a half drive from Ashram. It was during the course only that Guruji decided to perform Rudra Homa early morning on the 21st. I was a bit sad and prayed to Guruji to start the Homa as early as possible so that I could at least have a glimpse of it before leaving. The start time of the Homa was sometimes displayed on the screen as 6AM and then one day it was shown as 6:30 AM. Now, I felt there was no way I could attend the Homa but consoled myself saying that regardless of my physical presence there, Guruji would be performing the Homa for all his devotees.
However, as luck would have it (or rather Guru Grace :)), by the end of 20th night's Rudrabhishekam and Mahasatsang, it was announced that the Homa would start by 5:30 AM. I was so glad that at least now I would be able to have a few glimpses before leaving.

On 21st morning, I arrived at the Yagnashala (where homa was to be held) with bag and baggage at 5 AM and did “Om Namah Shivaya” chanting and Sudarshan Kriya. I could hear the chantings start while I was still in meditation. When I opened my eyes after sometime, I saw Guruji sitting right in front. A message then arrived on my mobile phone. I checked the message and to my utter surprise and joy, found that my flight had been delayed and would now leave at 10:35 AM. I was so happy. I just bowed down to the Master. I could finally attend the Homa fully. Tears of gratitude rolled down my eyes when Guruji waved to everyone, giving blessings at the end of the Homa.
Once you have come to the Master, know that you are completely taken care of... His love for you is infinite... :) :)

Jai Gurudev

MIRACLE IN MY LIFE

MIRACLE IN MY LIFE

I am Sameer a YES! & Art Excel Volunteer from Kalyan, Maharashtra. I remember during the rainy season we had our Art Excel course. Participants had to come a long way to the venue to attend the course & as it was rainy season, situation would get worse.

It was the first day of Course and as soon as Deepa di (Faculty of Art of living) started the course; it started rainning so hard outside. When first day of the course was about to
come to an end, Deepa di just told everybody that `You are taken Care of'. Guruji is always there to help you, to protect to you. Just be with the divine & see the Miracle.

As first day came to an end, really rain stopped & everyone was so surprised. Both the times (while coming to the course & while going home) rain used to stop & when all the participants reached home, rain started again.
Guruji I love you & thank you for caring for us.

There are number of Guru Stories. For this time I wanted to share this amazing magic with you all.

Joy GuruDev!!!

My Story Today

My Story Today (19.12.11)

This morning (19.12.11) on my way to office in Banglore near Jalahalli cross; I had to cross BEL circle and while driving in my car I was distracted for a couple of seconds and when I looked up there was a car right in front of me. There was no way I could avoid it so “Bang!!!“ I hit the car in front of me with a loud bang and fearing the worst I got out and accepted my mistake.

On checking both the vehicles I was surprised to see there was not even a scratch on the car and also neither the head lamps of my car were broken nor the tail lamps of the vehicle in front of me.

Thanks to “Guruji” nothing happened to any of us or the cars. I said thanks to HIM & proceeded to work.

With HIS Grace, Life continues to surprise

With HIS Grace, Life continues to surprise

It was Jan 2nd, 2012 which was the first day of work in the New Year. I was at the railway station on my way to board a train early in the morning at 6.20 a.m. I noticed the normal route was blocked on account of refurbishing and repairs. It meant I would have to re-route and walk a bit further to reach platform no 2.

As I was making my way towards platform no.2 taking the other stairway, I suddenly slipped. My footwear flew in one direction and my bag fell in another. I rolled down like a bouncing ball. My head hit the edges of the stairway.

But even as I continued falling, unable to arrest my fall, I felt someone pick me up gently and place me softly on the ground. It was not the thud or broken bones or gashing injuries with blood. On the contrary, even as I was unable to comprehend or make sense of where I was, I was able to dust myself and walk off in a daze to catch the train.

I generally pride myself on having quick reflexes since I am able most of the time to catch things mid-air even as they sometimes slip out of my hands or quickly gather my wits. But this time it was Guru's grace that took care of everything. Even as I fell so violently there was no outward sign of major mishap. I continued through the day marvelling at the 'timely intervention' and felt immensely thankful and grateful for his presence when I needed it.

Life continues to 'shock and surprise' all the time with his amazing grace.

Om Namah Shivaya...

BLESSING EXPERIENCE

BLESSING EXPERIENCE

Jai Gurudev!

I and all of us have always had unique and different experiences while giving blessings. With me this has always been a Divine Presence.

My father always wanted me to become a Doctor, because of my caring nature of helping everyone who is in pain in our family. I didn't want to become a Doctor but at the back of my mind I always had that. Guruji has fulfilled this wish also. We all are respected like Doctor's when we go for blessing in hospitals.

Last week during Diwali I had an amazing experience. I received a call for blessings from Manish, that bhaiya a little girl Shikha Chauhan is not well and is in ICU and I immediately went to hospital. I have visited people many times in ICU but this was very different, for the first time I had gone to a children's ICU. There were so many little angels who were in pain and were crying. I was moved and silent. I saw Shikha sleeping/little unconscious, only four yrs old, with oxygen mask, inside glass box, both the hands covered with syringes etc. Her father was very happy to see me and wanted me to keep my hands on her head to bless her and removed the glass box in spite of my requests of not doing so.

Immediately after the blessing, she was relaxed and calm. She started to bring her hands together, her eyes were closed. Again for the second time she did the same, then we realized that she had also experienced the Divine Grace and wanted to do pranam and thank Guruji. I held her hand and expressed my love.

While returning home, I was deeply touched and full of Gratitude towards the Master for making us His instrument.

Now Shikha is fine and at home.

Jai Gurudev!

My Guru story

My Guru Story

Jai guru dev,
I would like to share my Guru Story with all of you.
This year we went to the ashram during navratri for the advance course. It was a 6 day long advance course. On the 5th night, in VM, Guruji gave darshan to all the advance course participants.

But as I was not aware of this, I missed that opportunity and later when I came to know about this I was very disappointed and I got angry at Guruji and I told Guruji that if he will not give me darshan then I will never come to him.
There were only 2 days left in our departure from the ashram and I felt that now I won’t be getting the opportunity because on ashtami the asharam would be very crowded.

But on ashtami, in the evening satsang, he gave darshan to everyone. We all were sitting in a line and for a second he looked at me and I was very happy and I felt very fortunate having got the darshan. He also gave darshan on the 9th day. So even if I missed one opportunity, I got two instead!!
I was feeling very blessed.

Thanks

You just got to Touch Him, He Embraces You with All HIS HEART!

You just got to Touch Him, He Embraces You with All HIS HEART!

Hi! Guru's stories are so many, where there is faith, Guru's grace is rolling !! I have many to share and each as beautiful as another... The last being...

We had gone to Banglore this month. On return the 1-1/2 hour journey to the Airport always seems long compared to the excitement at the time of going when one is so eager to reach the Divine abode. We were returning at around 2pm and somehow I always feel heavy and loaded at time of return (which I am sure most of us do when it is time to return from the gates of the Ashram). I was quiet in the car.

Suddenly I wanted to use the toilet. I kept bearing the uncomfortable situation trying to divert my mind at the fast moving vehicle thinking I will ease myself only at the airport. The ride to the airport has only villages and shops one passes through. However, natures call is such that I had to tell the driver to stop at some motel, hotel or even a petrol pump where I could just relieve myself. Time passed, but no clue of any toilet (leave aside a decent place)! Suddenly after some time the driver stopped near a bakery telling me it is a hotel! I got off from the car, highly disappointed, and did not dream of venturing to the Bakery which was empty with a few biscuit bottles. I knew my face was filled with anguish and they would not understand what I wanted. Just then I saw Big Guru's Face Smiling from a hoarding. That instant I knew.... Just below Guru's hoarding was garland making ladies. I asked them if there was a toilet close by (by this time I was not concerned about the hygiene, cleanliness) coz most important was to relieve myself. They just pointed across the road and said there was a bathroom.
I ran across yet unsure whether they had understood what I spoke! When I crossed the road, I saw "PUBLIC Toilet". My heart sank and I quickly started taking out tissues from my bag, ready to use, anticipating the mess, dirt and stinky place and the ordeal that I would be facing. I rushed in the Ladies Toilet and to my utter disbelief - the place was clean, neat and tidy. No Jaguar fittings, but very decent ceramic tiles, clean basin, water facility and even soap! It was as though my mental fright of a dirty, public toilet, plus the physical discomfort was just taken care off the way I wanted! Needless to add, not a singletissue was also used! I felt so good, smiled and relieved that Guru truly understands even a biological and desperate discomfort!

In continuation, I must add, I reached the airport happy. I was on a 6 PM flight and on reaching the counter overheard the staff saying the 4.00 PM flight was two hour delayed! I was aghast. I requested if I could take the 4 PM flight because obviously 6 PM would be further delayed. They told me that it was not possible as the flight was full. I went through the Security and much later got a message that the 6 PM flight was further delayed to 7.30 PM! I had no heart to wait at the airport brooding. I once again went to the Security, prayed to Guru saying he must help me and get me the delayed 4.00 pm flight to reach as per my scheduled time. Normally the Security once having checked-in, does not allow going down. But this guy obviously had got the 'connect' and happily allowed me to go down. At the Jet counter the rush had become intense for obvious reason. But I knew, with conviction, HE was with me! I approached the counter lady. The lady before me was begging for the 4 PM flight saying she had a medical examination etc. I heard the counter lady refusing her saying the flight was full. My heart sank! Just as that lady prepared to leave, the staff counter, just took the boarding pass out of my hand and even before I could speak volunteered (as though she read my mind) "Ma’am, I only have one middle seat in the last row in the 4.00PM flight. Would you like to take it?" It was as though I was being obliged!! My happiness knew no bounds, that My Guru truly hears me when I yell and scream at him for attention, as also he hears me most when I am silent!! I came home with stories and more stories and just never enough of HIM.

Loads of love to the one who LOVES him with all FAITH....

His Grace

His Grace

Jai Guru Dev!

I always feel Guruji's presence all around. Just yesterday, after I read Guru story in my email, I felt I should also at least share one. So here is the one that I would like to share with all.

Today, 2nd Dec 2011, my sister inlaw, brother’s wife was admitted in the hospital in New Delhi in the early morning hours for her second delivery. She had labor pains right from the morning and was induced also. Whole day I kept praying for the mother and the baby and was sure that Guruji's Grace is with all of us. I was so sure of Guruji's love and Grace that I got a cake in advance even before the news came. I was having dinner with a few friends but my mind and heart was waiting for the news from Delhi. When the news was not coming till 9 pm, I sent Guruji's picture and a message “Jai Guru Dev” with it to my brother through my mobile and guess what ...just after 10 mins, I got the news that a baby boy bearing weight of 3.5 kgs has been delivered normally and that his Mom is safe.

Tears of joy, love and Gratitude filled my eyes and heart.
Guruji had already blessed the baby.
Thank You Guruji.
My humble pranams at Your Lotus feet.
