|| Hari Om || I was in Delhi between 14th and 18th November 2011. Since it was not cold I had not taken a sweater. When I entered the plane I saw passengers wearing sweaters and feared it could be cold in Delhi too. I was tense. I could not imagine spending five days in the cold without a sweater.  But then I told myself I need not worry. My Bapu would take care of me. The mere thought was reassuring and gave me courage.    I reached Delhi at 9 in the morning and it was cold but pleasant. Throughout the day I did not feel the cold but in office everyone was talking about the chilly weather suddenly disappearing. And then throughout that week it was warm.    On Friday 18th November I came back to Mumbai but two of my colleagues had stayed back. On Saturday when they called me they mentioned that it was surprising that since Friday evening the weather had suddenly changed and that there was a cold wave. I was overwhelmed for I was sure that my loving Bapu had held back the cold wave...

|| Hari Om ||    A million salutations to My Father Bapu and My Mother Nandaai. My wife, Sneha and I, begin our day by chanting Bapu’s name. It gives us boundless joy and our day sails smoothly.  Bapu has a prescient knowledge of any trouble or adversity His bhakta might have to bear. In this way, we are eternally indebted to Him. Bapu rushes to provide succor to any of his bhaktas, whenever they are in trouble. This is one such experience. It was a Thursday, on September 23, 2010, and my wife and I were returning home after Bapu’s discourse. At around 12.45 in the night, our rickshaw had reached Jagdusha Nagar near the North Bombay High School in Ghatkopar. Suddenly, a dog appeared in front of our rickshaw. The driver swerved the rickshaw the other way but the rickshaw overturned in the process. Both of us called out to Bapu loudly. The rickshaw had overturned but miraculously, my wife and I remained in the rickshaw. The driver was thrown out. By Bapu’s grace, no harm came...

|| Hari Om || It was 11th July 2006, the day of Guru Pournima, the Day when the Guru bestows His blessings on His disciples. For me, Bapu's blessings came as a new lease of life. Only Bapu can ward off all the troubles of a bhakta and He ensures that He is always there with the bhakta from the beginning till the end. The Guru Pournima was held at Kandivali and my daughter and I were involved as volunteers. Our shift got over at 3 pm. That is when we went to seek the blessings of Bapu in the main hall. Bapu was sitting along with Nandaai and the Aniruddha Chalisaa had just started. We started chanting the Aniruddha Chalisaa. All the while I had the impression that Bapu and Nandaai were looking at me. In hindsight, I think that they were aware of the troubles I was going to face and had prepared me for it. We finished the pradakshina where the Sai Ram mantra was being chanted. Finally, we left and reached Kandivali station at 5.30 pm to catch a train to Dadar. On that day, bus transportation...

|| Hari Om || When I started writing the Ram Naam book, I wrote three books in succession. I completed them on Wednesday and decided to open my account in the Ramnaam Bank on Thursday at Shree Hari Gurugram (the venue of the discourse). On Wednesday, I prayed to Bapu, “Bapu, I have written these books sincerely, wholeheartedly and with faith. I am on the path shown by you, the path of truth, love and  joy, I request you to bless me with your darshan either today (Wednesday) or tomorrow (Thursday) in person or in my dreams.”Wednesday passed by. On Thursday, I opened my account in the Ramnaam Bank and was about to head to the third floor when a volunteer stopped me and greeted, ‘Hari Om Kaka’. I was surprised when the volunteer asked me to accompany him but I followed him.….And to my greatest surprise, this volunteer took me straight to the hall where Bapu sits for the discourse and seated me right in the front row in front of Bapu. My Bapu is just so loving! I make a childish...

|| Hari Om || I first heard about Bapu in 2008. Initially, I had several doubts in my mind. Questions like who is this Bapu and how could people accept Him as God; were something I kept pondering upon. I started reading various experiences in Krupasindhu and also stated reading the Dainik Pratyaksha along with other publications for five to six months. Eventually, I started writing the Ram Naam notebook.Also, a devotee of Bapu asked me to read the Sai Sat Charitra. I started reading it and although I did not understand much I used to enjoy reading it. Once, my neighbour informed me about the examinations on Sai Sat Charitra which were conducted. I decided to appear for level 1. I appeared for the exam and 108% Bapu got the paper written from me. Later, I found out that I had passed with a distinction in the exam and I had to go to Mumbai to collect the paper.I was extremely happy and excited. I thought this would be an opportunity to seek the blessing of Bapu. Although, I did not have...

|| Hari Om || It is the Sadguru who draws his bhaktas towards him and that to at the time apt for that particular bhakta. My mother, Mrs. Anandi Yadav, and I have been a part of Bapu’s family and have been regularly doing Bapu’s upasana for the last 8-9 years. Also, all the other members of my family have immense faith in God.As recommended by my mother I have been intermittently attending the upasana at the Ulhasnagar Upasana Centre on Saturdays. I thoroughly enjoy listening to Bapu’s discourse. At times I would feel that Bapu is telling my own experiences. So as the days progressed my faith in Bapu became stronger and firmer. Bapu showed me through this experience that a person who has unflinching faith on Bapu always gets His support.For the last two to three years of my studies, I had to sometimes stay at Ulhasnagar, Satara or Nanded. Hence, I was not able to regularly attend the upasana on Saturdays. But, the moment you accept Bapu as ‘yours’ he takes your entire responsibility...

|| Hari Om || On the mid-night of November 7, 2008, I was travelling with my family from Satara to Kolhapur. We had to take the Kolhapur-Satara National Highway and had to cover a distance of nearly 200 km.We were 10 of us traveling in a Maruti van including women and children. We traveled comfortably for the first one-and-half hour, but as we were approaching Pune, which was 40 kms away, our left tyre got punctured and the vehicle turned towards the left side of the road. In normal circumstances when the car is in speed and a tyre punctures  the car usually turns turtle in that direction. But, in our case we were fortunate that the car just got pulled in the left direction and did not topple. This was possible only with Bapu’s grace. By that time it was already 2 am.We were stranded on the highway amidst biting cold and pitch-darkness. To add to our woes there was a swarm of mosquitoes around us. We kept waving at each passing vehicle, but all our efforts went in vain. We had a stepny...

|| Hari Om || Apaghaat Bhaya Jaee I Tale Akaal Maran ISankatat Madat Hoee I Mile Manaadhar II(We are rid of the fear of accident and untimely death never befalls us. We get help in every difficult moment. He gives us the strength of mind)This is an experience that explains the underlying meaning of these words.It was Gurupournima day on July 11, 2006. My father boarded the  Borivali train at Vile-Parle station. He did not know have the faintest idea about things that were to come his way. As the train approached Jogeshwari station, there was a loud noise. For some time, he did not understand what was happening around him. There was a bomb blast in his compartment. There was massive chaos around him. The intensity of the bomb blast was so huge that the metal sheets in the compartment were ripped apart. People were thrown all over the place. My father was also thrown out and was on the railway track. However, my father who had stepped out to take darshan of his beloved Sadguru was taken...
