We consider ourselves as fortunate to have been in company of Swamji from a very long time.
There are innumerable experiences, which cannot be considered less than a miracle. Of them all, I would relate two prominent instances, deeply imprinted in our minds.
Son's Matrimony
The first incident relates back to the time when we were anxiously looking out for our son's matrimony and spoke to Swamji to seek his blessings.
Swamiji firmly said that we would finalize the same within coming weeks. Needless to say, this indeed turned out to be true.
Though, the favorable matrimony dates turned out to be sooner than we had expected. This did not even give us time to go back to India for purchases and so we were faced with the impossible task of buying traditional bridal sari and jewellery, which could only be found in our city back in India.
In these moments of despair we called Swamji, who blessed us with a surprise bounty of finding the desired dress we were looking for. As soon as we spoke to him, we ran into a new shop which housed dresses from our hometown.
Our happiness knew no bounds and we were overjoyed to witness Swamiji's words in action.
Now, we were left with finding bangles designed as per our traditions - an uphill task as they were not easily available (amongst another tasks).
Once again, Swamji's blessing played magic and one of my close friend got hold of the exact set of bangles I was looking for originallys designed for another bride who couldn't use them as the size was not right.
I cannot relate to you the joy and the immense satisfaction we felt when our endless search were quickly answered after Swamiji phone call.
Swamiji's guidance for daughter
The second incident is related to my daughter, who happened to have a close encounter with some shoplifters at her own supermarket.
On the morning of the incident, when leaving for work as per her daily routine, she had an inner feeling to look out for the fire extinguisher in her supermarket. Once at the supermarket, she did locate it, only to run into some muggers who threatened her to keep silent.
Out of fear she did remain silent but her frightened face did caught the attention of a paper delivery boy. He sensed something was wrong and quickly came for rescue from the back entrance.
Soon the muggers escaped from the front door while managing to bag a few valuables.
My daughter was taken a back with this situation and went into a state of shock for a few days.
We advised her to narrate the incident to Swamji and seek his blessings. After speaking to Swamji, she felt reassured and collected courage. She also began to write Jai Shri Ram in her shop.
Slowly thereafter the situation changed. Now she was no longer the first person to open shop at early hours. This change also brought us peace of mind as it really worried us to know my daughter is no longer alone in early morning hours.
Jai Shree Ram !
