Witness of Grace....

Morning began as usual today. Thursdays is follow up day at SSRVM. Got a call from the HOD in the morning that I had to take Kriya early today, so with kriya tape was off to school. I must confess I have become habituated to driving a little fast these days! Well not very fast though, so twas a speed of ard 60kmph. An SUV behind me was speeding and driving too close. Suddenly at the crossroad near Lifestyle, a car suddenly came in the middle of the road in front of me and I braked, coz there was nothing else I could do.

I went completely blank. Heard a very loud noise (movie style), and saw the SUV behind me had brushed the whole car on my side.When I regained sense a few moments later, I realized the car that had come in front of me had disappeared. The driver of the SUV was saying something, but I wasnt listening.

That moment of the braking and the loud noise that I heard, I felt as if I was encircled by somthing which cannot be described in words. 'GRACE.'
Completely untouched, I drove on to school. With the loud noise that I had heard, and the hit to my car, I dreaded the thought of seeing what had happened to the car and drove on. My mind on 'Kriya time was 9 and I had to be there.' Reached school and got down wondering what my car would look like, but apart from some few white scratches on the doors, there was nothing! :)

Looking back, I realize that in those few moments I had been close to complete disaster. All I felt was this protective shade around me. That moment I was a witness of what was happening without being a part of it.

Just yesterday we had gone on a school trip to Iskcon Mandir, Gobinddham Gurudwara and a beautiful old Masjid. The swamiji at Iskcon was so happy to see a whole bunch of over 70 kids and their teachers dancing to the tune of ' hare krishna, hare krishna, krishna krishna hare hare'...They did not allow the kids to leave till all of them got the fruit and mathri prasad. While we were leaving he called me and a gave a generous helping of halwa in my hands. Felt blessed and now feel the trip was for me! Maybe some samskaras got burned... :)

"You are being taken care of" - are Guruji's words that ring in my mind.

On the practical side: I have to take care while driving and not speed up.
ALIVE!! Every moment in faith and eyes full of tears of gratitude..... :)

My first Bal Chetna Shibir :)


'Love moves the world'
With Guruji's grace, finally my first Bal chetna shibir at Visamo Kids, Ahmedabad,with Chetna di.. Amazing experience.. Once again experiencing the power of intentions and the grace of the master.
And all that the kids wanted to hear towards the end of the shibir were more and more Guru stories..:) To be able to give Mantra diksha to around 60 lovely n loving children on Sharad Poornima '3rd October', what more could I want...Tears not stopping since then.
Love you Guruji for everything....
"Tum mile to jadoo cha gaya, tum mile to jeena aa gaya, tum mile to maine paya hai khuda ":)
In Gratitude.... :)

Janmashtami


An amazing time at the ashram with Guruji this Janmashtami:)
Grace flowing in full force, with two participants at the AMC sharing experiences of disappearance of cancer! One young boys blood cancer in the second stage disappeared simply after the basic course and after doing sudarshan kriya. He had come with his family to meet Guruji..

Another young girl (ard 27-28 years old) with cancer got cured after taking up an advanced course following a meeting with Gurudev. She had been suffering from fear of closed spaces and now felt free of all her phobias. Nothing short of ecstacy was her ex-pression as she shouted, I love you Guruji in front of thousands of people.:)

A special group of habituated cigarette smokers had come from the city after attending a special course for smokers. (People who had been in the habit for 40, 50 years) came at the Sunday satsang and reported:
An elderly gentleman smoking for 55 years, quit on the first day of the special course..
Another one smoking for more than 40 years hasnt touched a cigarette since he did the course :)
All of them overflowing with gratitude.
