|| Hari Om || Our family has been under the Bapu fold for the last 12-13 years. My family and I have experienced Bapu’s grace on numerous occasions. Bapu has become a part of the family. Before undertaking any task or before going out we would always remember Him.On 4th October 2010, I had an unforgettable experience. We have a wholesale business in Khadki near Pune. We deal in bananas. That evening, at around 7 p.m., I went to Pune with my friend to make a payment. After making the payment, I started my journey back home. Suddenly, it started raining very heavily. We halted on the way hoping for the rain to subside but it kept raining incessantly for the next one and a half hours.At around 9.30 pm the rain subsided and we started our journey again. We reached Shivaji Nagar but the road was flooded with water. So, instead of joining the Mumbai-Pune expressway directly we tried to take a shortcut via the Range Hill route, onto the expressway. But, the water levels were increasing constantly...

|| Hari Om || I would like to share with you one such instance from my life and how my Sadguru Bapu salvaged me from a fatal adversity even before I realised it. Bapu as always lived up to His promise. Sangati ahe me tumcha khachitaTeenhi kaali teenhi lokantVisarlat tumhi maja jari khachitaMe nahi visarnar tumhas nischita || (I am your friend forever. I will never forsake you. You may forget Me but I will never ever abandon you) Travelling in Mumbai suburban trains during peak hours is indeed a great ordeal. Trains speeding into the stations, people alighting before it even slows down and passengers jumping through the train on the mob waiting at the doors before the trains stop.It was October 30, 2009. I was on night shift. So I left from home in the evening to go to office. I was on customs duty at the international airport at Andheri. I boarded the train at Charni Road station. The train reached Andheri station at around 8 pm. It was a Borivli bound train and so it was all the more...

|| Hari Om || My sister-in-law, Smita Sunil Jadhav and I were going to Gurukshetram for the night ‘pathan’. We left Ulhasnagar in the evening and came to Gurukshetram at about 8.30 at night. My sister-in-law happened to check her bag but could not find her purse. Was it flicked in the train? Both of us panicked. She had Rs. 1200 in her purse and I had only 120 rupees. We were worried as to how we could spend the night. The return tickets were also in her purse that meant we had to buy the tickets. That left us with a mere 50 rupees. Smita said that this money was not enough for our food and to spend the night therefore it was best that we return immediately.I assured her that we would borrow some money from someone here and return it later. But she would not agree to it. Eventually I told her that we would share a plate of snacks. Saying so, I went to the counter to buy the coupons. There were two people at the counter. I asked for a plate of pakodas, gave the 50 rupee note, took ...

|| Hari Om || Ever since I have come to Bapu I have experienced His love and grace several times, be it small things in our daily life or a big calamity. It has never happened that my Bapu has not saved me or protected me. It can never happen and it will never happen.It was on the 25th April 2010, that my friend and I went to Kalyan market on my scooter. Since there was a lot of traffic I was riding at slow speed trying to manoeuvre my scooter through the cars.I was finding it difficult to steer the scooter in the traffic. Just then a Santro without giving the left signal turned left just in front of me. Immediately I braked  and the scooter skid and banged against the Santro and I was thrown under a running bus. The rear tyre was literally half way on me. At that moment I thought that everything was over, I was helpless. In such a situation who else but Bapu can be the Saviour?Eventually it was He who moved the wheel of time and the bus driver immediately applied the brakes and the ...

|| Hari Om || For a long time I wanted to visit Leh-Ladakh. My close friend, Mrs. Jayashri Kardile’s son had arranged a tour to Leh-Ladakh and she asked me to join the tour. Initially I was in two minds but then finally my husband and I decided to go. The reservations were done and we had a get together on the 11th of July at her place.Our tour was to start on the 24th July 2010 from Mumbai Central. For all the shraddhavaans the month of July is very dear as Guru Pournima falls in this month. I wanted to give my name for seva for that day and it was then that I realised that Guru Purnima is on the 25th of July. Hearing this I was very upset. It had just slipped my mind to check the date of the Gurupournima. I asked Bapu to forgive me and with a heavy heart I set about the preparations.When we left on the 24th July to go to Mumbai Central by taxi from Borivali it was raining very heavily. We were worried whether we would reach on time. But by Bapu’s grace we reached on time and the train also left on time...

|| Hari Om || As I write this experience, I am reliving the moments. My heart is throbbing. One can imagine my state on the day it all happened. It was the 8th of May 2010. The day began quite like any other....but only till the afternoon. We did not have the faintest of idea about what awaited us beyond.I was doing my daily afternoon chores. I was about to put my two and a half year old son to sleep. Since he was in a mood to play and was playing I did not force him to sleep. That day it was very hot so I opened the windows.………and then a terrible thing happened, while playing my son fell from the window.  We stay on the second floor and I was alone at home.My only support was my Bapu. Looking down I was stunned and I could only shout out Bapu's name. Bapu! Bapu!My son was crying down. I ran down, picked him up and called my husband and briefly told him what had happened. We went up, I applied udi on his forehead, even put some udi in his mouth and stood in front of Bapu’s photo....

|| Hari Om || Our factory is at Silvassa (Diu-Daman) so I generally spend most of my time there; more so because I am responsible for the entire operation there. As usual this time too I was in Silvassa and after completing my work at night I was to leave next morning. As is my routine, I prayed to Bapu to wake me up in the morning.I woke up early and left Silvassa. The first one and half hour of my travel were smooth. However, after that my left hand started aching. Then there was burning sensation in my chest that culminated in pain. Initially I thought it was acidity so I took a break and sipped some water but there was no relief. I was at the wheel and was travelling alone.I realized that this was something serious. I was extremely restless and frightened. As a last resort, I prayed to the photograph of Bapu in the car and urged him to bring me safely home to Dombivali.I then started driving again. Eventually, the chest pain subsided and I drove safely for the next three hours. During...

|| Hari Om || It was November 21, 2010, the auspicious day of Aniruddha Pournima. By this date, I had completed writing 151 ‘Ramnaam’ books. Of these, I had already submitted 142 books and on the day of Aniruddha Pournima, I was going to submit the remaining 9 books.I left home at around 11 am to reach Mulund, the venue of the utsav. I had kept the passbook of Aniruddha Bank of Ramnaam in one of the Ramnaam books. As my train reached Kurla station, we started getting news that there was an accident at Vikhroli station due to which the trains were not moving ahead. We were stranded in the train for nearly one-and-half hours. No announcements were made about the status and no one there had any clue about what was going on.In the meantime, my sister, who had left for Mulund before me, telephoned me to inform about the railway accident and suggested that I should take a rickshaw to reach there.Accordingly, I got off the train at the Kurla station and walked towards the eastern express...
