|| HARI OM ||   That Bapu loves his bhaktas is a fact beyond debate. What I am about to share is an incident that fills me with ever increasing gratitude - Bapu also loves those who have never seen Him but have followed his path, His values; and Bapu loves them as much as any other bhakta.   Last week my husband and I were in Shanghai on business. There the ‘Hepatitis B’ injection is mandatory for everyone. However the Chinese doctors administer it only on affirming the fitness of a person. My husband was suffering from high blood pressure. On examination it was found that his blood pressure was very high. He was given tablets and the blood pressure monitoring machine strapped to his arm. We went to make the payment, the machine still on his arm. We realised that the wallet was missing. We had lost our cards too. Fortunately I had sufficient money to make the payment and so we paid the bill and went home. As soon as we came home my husband informed the American Bank and other...

|| Hari Om ||   Just like a sparrow can be drawn to oneself by tying a string to its legs, the Sadguru pulls the bhakta towards Him. Moreover, those bhaktas who hand over their ‘string’ to the Sadguru, with faith and love, will find that the Sadguru uses this ‘string’ to pull them out of any adversity; including death.   It was in 2002, during the anniversary of the Vikhrolki (East) Upasana Centre, that I started coming to Bapu. In fact, as mentioned in the Shree Saisachcharit, it was Bapu who drew me to Him. After that day, with Bapu’s blessings, I became part of the various activities of the organization.  In 2004, my friends and I went to the Dadar Chowpatty to take part in the activity of the re-immersion of Ganpati idols. We had to collect the various idols, put them in a bag and carry the bag in a boat, deep into the sea, for immersion. Only those who could swim were allowed on the boat and I was one of them.  It was 4 pm and the boat had already made two rounds...

  || Hari Om ||     I bow at the lotus feet of Sadguru Bapu and would like to tell him that even if I were to become physically incapacitated, I would have no qualms about it but let the incapacitation of my mind wither away.  Please do keep my mind in control and also healthy. I had gone to Suchitdada’s clinic on December 04, 2010 to show him some reports. These reports belonged to a boy from Bapu parivar.  The boy’s mother was with me that day.  On reaching Happy Home, in order not to get late to be at the Clinic, I stood outside and performed my Namaskar in front of Dattagurubappa and Mahisasurmardini Aai. When I looked inside, I saw Nandaai offering her respect in front of Aai Mahisasurmardini.  I did not get to see Aai’s face.  However, I did not feel like moving away from there.  However I sort of lingered there.  When I looked into my watch, it was nearing 2 pm and thus, I stepped forward two steps.  Someone from behind said,”Wait a minute.  Aai is going to pass by...

  || Hari Om ||   Once a person obtains the ever protective shield of one’s Sadguru, his life is transformed.  One tends to experience his divine interventions every step up the way.  Through these experiences, one receives the affirmations that the Sadguru looks over each and every devotee.  Then, one is drawn towards his lotus feet like a Bee to the Honey.  As described by Baba in Sai Satcahritra, one is reminded of “Kaamave Tari Majavarich Kaamave I Krodhave Tari Majavarich Krodhave”   In the spirit of this principle, one then tends to share all of one’s love and affection with one’s Sadguru.  Bapu then becomes an integral member of one’s family. This is a story that took place just before 2011 Diwali.    Something seemed to have gone wrong in our household for the previous few days.  Nothing seemed to be going well.  We were faced with problems and obstacles from all four sides.  I had to drop out of third year of engineering.  In the midst of that, quite...

  || Hari Om ||   I am Dr. Shashanksinh Hore, I am an Orthopedic Surgeon.  I might need about 4-5 Krupasindhu Magazines if I began narrating all my experiences.  I was a total agnostic till about year 2008.  I had faith in Shirdi Sai Baba though.  I used to go to Shirdi for Darshan twice a year.  Since I am an orthopedic surgeon, I managed to earn a sizeable chunk of money at a relatively younger age.  I had all the material comforts such as a Home, a Hospital and a Car as well.  Wealth and money attract many vices. I was no exception to this. I used to consume alcohol every day and was almost a chain smoker. My wife, Dr. Meghaveera is an anesthesiologist by profession.  She was a devout follower of Bapu much before I became one. She used to write Ramnaam Book and also chanted Upasana every day.  I used to hate all those Babas and Godmen.  Needless to say, my home did not have Bapu’s picture.  I used to joke about my wife’s devotion towards Bapu and I would also make...

  || Hari Om ||   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 ...

|| Hari Om ||   Since 2002, I have been regularly attending Bapu’s upasana at the Ghatkopar centre. I have also been attending Bapu’s discourses every Thursday at Shreeharigurugram (New English School).  My eldest son, Rajesh, got married in 1998. But had no issue for 10 years. We approached various doctors but in vain. My daughter-in-law, Ankita, suggested that my son marry another girl. I was aghast at this idea. I told her that whatever be the case, she should not worry. My Bapu is compassionate and He will surely rush to our aid. But, under no circumstances, would my son marry a second time. Once in January 2008, I was standing in a queue to seek Bapu’s blessings on a Saturday. Rajni Shripati Patil was managing the queue. She asked me if everything were alright as I looked worried. I narrated my problems to her in brief. She heard me patiently and said that she would take me to Suchit Dada’s clinic. As decided, we went to the clinic. Suchit Dada examined Ankita’s reports...

|| Hari Om ||   No one from my family is a Bapu Devotee.  My Husband passed away.  I had a strong desire to perform the last rites as recommended by Parampujya Bapu!  I was immersed in the sorrow of my husband’s demise.  I stayed firm (blessings of Bapu) on my decision and then Bapu ensured it happened as per my wish.  The last rites were performed as suggested by Bapu. What else can be a bigger, greater experience than this one? One would come across a sentence in “Shree Ramrasayan.”  It says that the principle of Sadgurutatva makes arrangements for providing support to someone well before one encounters difficult situations.  In this Kalyug, this Sadguru Tatva makes arrangements for his devotees much before the calamity hits that devotee. The significance of such an arrangement and the realization that Sadguru made such an arrangement dawns on a person while going through a situation. This took place in the year 2004. We had a meeting at home regarding the reading of...
