I bow at the lotus feet of Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu a million times. Bapu has permeated on this earth to uplift devotees’ lives and to facilitate destruction of their bad destiny. Bapu has facilitated for us Jaggantah Utsav, Gayatri Utsav, Dattayaag, and Shri Avadhootchintan Utsav. He has helped us do Rameshwar-Kaashi yatra, and Darshan of twelve Jyotirlingas. One cannot even imagine doing the Rameshwar–Kaashi yatra at Shri harigurugram. Bapu is quite concerned about every devotee’s well-being. He does all this out of love for his devotees.
On the first day of Avadhoot Chintan Utsav, when I reached there, I was given a plate full of fragrant flower petals, Bel leaves, Aaudumbar and Palas leaves, Hibiscus flowers, some gravel and dry twigs. On entering the designated area, I offered those flowers and leaves to 24 gurus. I emptied the plate, now left with only gravel and dry twigs into a large strainer. Here as well, Bapu took away all the gravel and twigs from every devotee. Bapu wants to change the wheel of destiny for us.
In Sarvatobhadra Kumbh yatra, we went to Kaashi and fetched water from the Ganges, then traveled to Rameshwar and sprinkled it on the Lingus of Rameshwar. Then we sprinkled the water from Kanyakumari on Kaashi Vishveshwar. I was quite overcome by happiness as I performed all these actions. I was then seated in a classroom on the first floor. Other devotees were with me in that classroom. Bapu wanted each devotee to do Shri Dwadash Jyotirlinga Kailashbhadra Mahapoojan and also wanted each devotee to do Aarati. There were close circuit televisions in the classroom. We saw Bapu, Nandaai and Suchitdada doing teertha yatra along with other devotees. While watching all of that, I requested some ladies sitting in the front row to look at the television monitors. I said,”All those who are walking along with Bapu during this teertha yatra are really fortunate.”
Then I exclaimed in my mind,”Bapu, please let me get a chance to do Aarti with you, just once. That’s all I ask for.” In the nick of time, it was the turn of our class to go for Aarti near Jyotirlinga Poojan. Just when I passed by and entered the hall, people behind me were stopped. The person who was controlling the Bhaktiganga said to me,”You are fortunate.” On entering the hall, when each of us was made to stand in front of each Jyotirlinga, we had Bapu, Nandaai and Suchitdada with us. Paurassinh was there as well.
Aarti began soon after. We were asked to offer Bel and were asked to beat the Damroo. I could not contain my joy.
My Bapu fulfilled my wish! Bapu in his discourses says that all that he wants from each devotee is love. He also says that if one calls out to him with love, he definitely reciprocates such a call.
I bow at the lotus feet of my Vithu Mauli, my Sai Aniruddha a thousand times.
checkup. Both of them visited Dada as scheduled. Then, Dada asked them to visit Dr. Hitesh Parikh for further treatment. In a few months, my daughter-in-law was expecting! Our happiness knew no bounds.
On Thursday, 28th December 2008, Rajesh and Ankita were blessed with a beautiful son. I had always wanted to celebrate a Diwali with my grandson. Bapu helped fulfill this wish.
O Bapuraya, we are grateful for all the love you have showered on my family.
