|| 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...

|| Hari Om || We were a group of 13 headed for Mumbai from Jalgaon on January 8, 2011 in a Tempo Traveller. We had sought Samir Dada’s appointment for Jan 9 at noon and had planned to attend the Panchasheel prize distribution that evening.  We had also intended to seek darshan in Govidyapeetham, Gurukul (JuiNagar) and Sai Nivas during the Vardhaman Vrat. We decided to halt at Govidyapeetham at night.  Everyone had done the vratpushpa pathan and upasana before setting off for the journey. We were about 44 km from Jalgaon when Mrs. Sunita Tayade, one of the women travellers with us, started feeling sick. We asked the driver to park at the side as Mrs. Tayade wanted to throw up. Mrs. Tayade got out of the vehicle with a bottle of water in her hand.  The driver of the vehicle too got down, cast a glance at the rear tyres and came back and sat at the wheel. All of a sudden, the left rear tyre burst with a loud din tilting the vehicle to the left. We got down of the vehicle and were...

|| HARI OM ||    It was the 14th of November 2008. At about 9 o’clock at night my daughter, Manasi and I were cleaning vegetables and my husband, Vinaysinh was standing on a stool and fixing the tube light in the hall. After some time we heard a very loud noise. Before even knowing what had happened I just screamed. Then we realised that the tube light which my husband was fixing had fallen on my head and the glass splinters were all over the place. Glass pieces were all over my body, even in my hair. I was so scared to touch my hair fearing that I would be bleeding all over. After I had gathered myself I slowly touched my head to see if there was any bleeding. To my surprise there was no blood but lots of glass splinters. To confirm I even told my daughter to check and even she confirmed it.  A tube light falls from a height of 7-8 feet and shatters right on my head and I am safe, I do not even bleed! Is it possible?  Even our doctor could not believe it that there was no bleeding...

|| Hari Om || Bowing at the lotus feet of Bapu, Nandai and Dada I wish to share an experience which endorses the fact that our only Saviour is my God, My Bapu.   It was the eighth day of Navratra. I had decided to go to Juinagar, Gurukshetram and Sainivas. Since I could not go on the day of Lalitapanchmi  (5th day of Navratra) to Juinagar I decided to go to all these places on that one day. I went by train from Ambarnath to Kalyan and from Kalyan I took a bus to go to Juinagar. I got down at the highway and was crossing, I crossed halfway and while crossing the other half ………. I do not know what happened. A car had knocked me down. Right from the moment I left home I was continuously chanting, “Om Krupasindhu Shri Saithanaya namah:” but now I was chanting it loudly. I stood up and started walking. My bag was flung far away, a man picked it and gave it to me. My knee was bleeding profusely, a man tied his handkerchief on it, and since the bleeding did not stop another man...

 || Hari Om || It was November 8, 2008. I was on my way to my in-laws' place in Vita, Sangli for some work. Since I had made plans at the last minute I did not have a reservation. I therefore boarded a bus from CBD Belapur and decided to get off at Karad. Several passengers got in and out of the bus at various stops. At Pune, one such passenger came and sat next to me and bought a ticket for Kolhapur. As I later found out his name was Vaibhav Patil. I got down at around four or five am on the highway at Karad and headed for Vita. The money needed for the onward journey was in my breast pocket. It was only when I reached Vita did I realize that I had lost my wallet containing money, my ID card and a photograph of Bapu. Had I dropped my wallet somewhere or was it stolen? I could not even begin to guess. I did not mention about my wallet to my in-laws or to my wife. I did not want to worry them. However there was one thought, a very reassuring one, that kept recurring in my mind: my ...

|| Hari Om || “Aum Manahsaamarthyadaata Shree Aniruddhaay Namaahaa”. I begin writing my experience with this mantra that epitomizes my Bapu. Also this was the mantra that gave me the strength to escape from the jaws of death. I have been coming to Bapu from December 2000. In June 2011, I met with a terrible incident. But, it was Bapu who saved me. It was a Saturday on the 4th of June 2011, I was struck with a bout of cold and cough. But due to certain unavoidable circumstances, I was unable to visit the doctor. As the next day was a Sunday, and no doctor would be available, I got a few medicines from a friend, who happened to be a doctor. After two days, I started feeling breathless while doing my diurnal exercise. I thought that it was because of my sickness that I felt so and I continued my exercises. On 14th of June, we had a meeting with Bapu. I told Bapu about my problem of breathlessness. Bapu said that He knew of my problem and would further give me two more exercises. After...

|| Hari Om || Mr. & Mrs. Parab were an old couple staying in the society just behind ours. On 13th July 2010 I heard from my friend that Mr. Parab had left home three days ago and not returned. I was shocked and could not imagine Parab aaji’s (granny) plight. Just then my friend mentioned that her husband, Shekhar Kode had met Suchit Dada regarding Aajoba (Mr. Parab) and he had told them to chant the Dattabavani . We decided that all of us would go to their place at 9 p.m. and chant the Dattabavani.  As decided all of us met at their place and chanted Dattabavani. I took Parab aaji to the 'devghar' in the home, applied udi and sincerely urged to Bapu, “Panduranga! O dear Bapuraya, O Aniruddha! May this udi which I am applying, reach aajoba (grandfather) wherever he is. May he be safe and in good health. May he come home to aaji.” Then I comforted aaji assuring her that she was not alone, the entire Bapu family was with her. I told her to continue chanting and that Bapu was...

|| 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...
