MY Guru-Story.....

Tweet

---

Since I was so sad on those days I took a sudden decision to go to Bangalore Ashram on March 2nd 2012. I got the Information that Guruji was leaving for foreign tour on 4^th of the same month. I left for Ashram on 1st evening from Kochito Bangalore by train. On 2nd of March early Morning I have reached Bangalore City Railway station.
After taking refreshment from the Railway station itself, I went to Majestic to fetch Bus for Ashram. I was going to Ashram for the first time. I had telephoned to Ashram to know whether Guruji is available there on that day or not. A lady voice answered my call saying that, Guruji’s all programs changed and Guruji will be available on 26th of March Only...!!

I was on a state of cry, with disappointment. At last, I decided to go back to home and so I went to the ticket counter and asked for train timings back to Kochi. I got to know that, my train is there on at 21.30 hrs only. So it was a waste of my time in the railway station to wait for 10 hours.

I thought...However I have come to Bangalore..I shall go and see the Ashram. So I had to put my luggage in the cloak-room of the railway station and again went to Majestic Bus-stand to fetch Bus. A Bus driver who knows Hindi guided me on that.

At last I reached the Ashram. I went to the information Counter and enquired. I got information that Guruji is now at Delhi. And Guruji would be coming on (3rd of March) and so Satsang is there with Bhanu Didi and Dr.Manikandan today and on 3rd there will be Guruji's Darshan.  I was totally excited. So I went back to the Railway station and took my Luggage.

In the evening I was late for the Satsang. Only few people were there for satsang. To my Surprise, Guruji was in front of me accompanied by few people. I RAN TO GURUJI AND FELL ON TO GURUJI'S FEET. GURUJI BLESSED ME. In the Satsang Guruji answered the three questions I wished to ask.

In May 2012 when I was physically and mentally weak, made a sudden visit to Ashram, likewise reached early morning at Bangalore City Railway Station..Refreshed. Reached Ashram.

Then again  to my surprise, AFTER POOJA, GURUJI IN FRONT OF ME, IN THE CAR...WAVED TO ME, SMILED AT ME...HAD EYE TO EYE CONVERSATION WITH Guruji... Got a Meditation also directly from Guruji in the evening Satsang.

I STILL BELIEVE THAT in the first case..ON THAT DAY GURUJI CAME FOR ME-ONLY. HAVE FAITH IN GURUJI..IT PRODUCES WONDERS.....JAIGURUDEV.....

You Are Not Alone!

This incident happened during October 2012 when I had just joined my new job in a new city. I started my working day at 5.30 am in the morning as I had to first drive 3.5 hours to reach my new place of work at 9 am. Around 6 pm I finished my work and went to the parking and tried to open the car which has central lock and it just barely opened. I immediately knew what had happened. By mistake I had left the headlights on when I left the car in the morning. Normally the car would make warning sound when this happens, but due to some electrical fault this didn’t happen. Now the battery was discharged and the car wouldn’t start. I started praying immediately: “Guruji, help!” 

At that time very few cars were left in the parking. Close to my car, a van was parked and a young gentleman was in the car. So I asked him if he could help me. He said let us push the car and see if it starts. He and another person pushed it but the car didn’t start. So I said: “Let use jump leads to start it.” They agreed to provide me starting help using jump leads. Very soon I discovered that I didn’t have any jump leads. I used to have those in my old car and there weren’t any jump leads in my new car. What to do? It was past 6 pm so majority of the shops were closed and I was in a new city, didn’t know where to get the jump leads and my family and friends were miles away! I kept praying to Guruji: “Only you are my saviour Guruji, please help!” 

One of the gentlemen who had helped me earlier said; “There is a DIY shop nearby and it might be open and they might be selling jump leads.” He was willing to take a walk with me and show me where the shop is. Yes, it was open but they didn’t have any jump leads. What to do now? While we were walking from that shop, I saw a general store which was open. So I suggested that we check there. Lo and behold! They had one last pair of jump leads for me! We bought them and walked back to the car. 

In the car park there were few cheerful young men who helped me to charge the car battery using the jump leads. As soon as the car started the gentleman who had walked with me to the shop said: “Sorry I have to go now!” I was waiting in the parking to pick up my girlfriend from work and she is here now”! I thought to myself, Guruji what a perfect timing! I know and have experienced many times that Guruji is there to help us and look after us regardless whatever the situation we find ourselves in. I count on Him! 
Jai Gurudev!

Gurudev's Grace is Amazing

Tweet

He always hears our prayers, fulfills our every need and loves us very dearly. So many miracles happen every moment with me but this one I felt like sharing with all.

I live in Singapore, called up my brother in Delhi to wish them all on Dusshera day .To my surprise he was in hospital admitting our mother suffering from liver cirrhosis and many other complications.With lords Grace we got the tickets to rush to Delhi same evening. Next morn We went to hospital and couldn't believe our eyes. She was in ICU sinking with multiple organ failure. We had no hope but my Faith in Guruji has been and shall remain forever so I did not give up.

Yesterday (Thursday)after eight days of battling in ICU on ventilation etc I cried and prayed to Gurudev for some good news.

To everybody's surprise she opened her eyes and moved her limbs. She communicated and recognized all family members and visiting relatives.

So a new ray of hope from our beloved Lord . Thank you for blessing us. You shall remain in my heart till my last breath.

Aisi hain kripa Guruji  humpar sada

Bhoolegey naa kabhi tumhey sada

Long live Gurudev and long live Art of Living

Jai Gurudev!! 

There are many incidents in my life and he has taken care of me every time. This is one such incident which is worth sharing with everyone. 

It was the month of August 2012 and I had a very important business event to attend on Oct 6 at Bangalore. I booked the tickets for Bangalore immediately as it was difficult to get proper reservation. I just thought that I will stay for an extra day there and visit the Ashram and have His darshan as well. But as I had to accompany my colleague and there were back-to-back meetings, it was not possible to extend my stay at Bangalore or take-out time to go to the Ashram. I thought, I will miss seeing Him this time. I was feeling bad that I am being so close to the Ashram and not seeing Him. 

In September, I received the email that the event in Bangalore got postponed by a week and will be on Oct 13 instead. I hurriedly checked for the tickets and luckily I was able to get two tickets again for Oct 12 and the return. This time also, I cannot spare an extra day in Bangalore. But, I thought I will use the week before ticket if possible and go only to the Ashram and see Him and come back. May be this is His wish. 

Next day I received an email from AP Information Centre that Guruji has called all teacher coordinators, district coordinators, Apex bodies, Program coordinators to the Ashram and they will inform the dates shortly. Now, if I have to go for this meet then I have to take leave and it is always tough to get the tickets when there are few days spared for travel. So, I was just wishing that the date should be Oct 6 or 7. And yes, Guruji fixed the meeting date with Him on Oct 7. So, with me another DDC member also got the reservation and the chance. Guruji made me book the tickets in August 2012 so that, I can meet Him in Oct without any trouble. 

Looking at past and present, we try to plan the future. Guruji, seeing the future and plans our present. 

We had an hour long session with Guruji and we had an awesome face-to-face talk with Him. These were the most precious moments that I have spent with Him. Thanks a lot Guruji for being with us always.

Thanks

Jai Gurudev!! 

I am a Student studying in Class XIIth standard (Science Stream) and a YES! Graduate.

It was usual Day but held Important to Me as it was My Interview Day for D.S.A.T (Districtive Sciences Of Automobile Technology) Level-II as I had earlier Qualified its written paper i.e Level-I.

I was Really Cool & Calm on that day, It was natural that there was a little element of Nervousness too but I went With full confidence to the Required Venue for the Level-II(Interview).

As I went there, saw many candidates just learning with all books piled Up in their hands……Soon After as the Needle of Clock struck 10, We were handed over a Interview Sheet which stated all necessary details of ours Which we had to handover to our interviewer. And at the back of the page there were two Questions

Q.1) What are your Inspirations for your life??

Q.2) What all Made You Inspired to take up Science as A Stream??

My Answer to 1st was Obviously Sri Sri (My Real Time Hero)

And for the second was ALL My passion to take up Science as a Stream.

My chance came at about 11.30 am, I went inside the Interviewers Room. 

Said "Jai Gurudev" and Went in.........

he took the interview sheet. And as soon as he started to read the back side, he was so impressed that in all my 20 minutes that he only talked about guruji and told ,"I also did the course 5 years back" and then a question was asked by interviewer to know if I know about Art of Living organization.

So he asked me these questions,

q.1 In how many countries is art of living spread??

q.2 Where s the art of living s international center situated??

and my interview was over!! 

everybody asked what did he asked you?? I just giggled & came.

I was passed in level ii and became d.s.a.t scholar 2012...

My interviewer getting impressed and asking no questions~all guru’s grace!!

Jai Gurudev, 

I wanted to share this amazing guru story. I have a 11 month old daughter and she is quite handful. Keeps me on my toes all the time. Usually every day was great but that day for some reason I was quite tired and a bit cranky. Everything seemed to take more time than usual. I was to drive with my daughter to Friday beach satsang. I started getting ready to leave and packed every little thing that my daughter might need. I was going towards my car to enter through the garage and my husband called I picked up the phone talked to him and headed to the car. Placed my daughter in the car seat and headed to drive and suddenly I realized I don't have my phone with me. I searched the whole car again went back home searched it, didn't find it. Then I left thinking it must be in the car.. so after the satsang we searched the whole car.. Called the phone numerous times, but didn't find it. 

Funny thing was in the evening when my husband called to find where the phone is there was no dial tone since it was in the underground parked and that same night we started getting the dial tone that only meant that someone had the phone. Again late in the night we kept on calling but no luck. Then suddenly while my husband was calling the phone I just closed my eyes and prayed to Guruji. And the very next minute I get a call from my phone and the person who picked it up was a 10 year old girl with her mom. Her mom wasn't speaking English. So my husband talked to that little girl and we got out phone. 

Amazing is the guru grace. We are so blanketed by it all the time. Just not aware sometimes with all our layer of stress and feverishness. Just need to connect back to yourself with regular sadhana and meditation.

JGD

Payal.
