|| 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...

|| Hari Om || ‘Anand Manee Maayeena, Kasa Ga Savaru |Ghe Gagan Bharari, Udu Pahe Pakharu, Pakharu ||’ Ever since we have come to  Bapu, each and every member of our family  has experienced Bapu’s unconditional and incomprehensible love.  We have even experienced some of the experiences read by us. It not only makes one happy but it also strengthens one’s faith at the lotus feet of Bapu.Today I am experiencing the same joy one gets in solving a difficult mathematics problem. I want to share that joy with you.This experience would remind you of the ‘Ghantanaad’ from Matruvatsalyavindanam.My husband and I were returning from Belgaum by train. My reservation was from Meeraj to Mumbai.  Since the S.T. bus which we were supposed to take to Meeraj was delayed, we decided to go to Kolhapur to board the  Mahalaxmi Express. We performed “Aanhik” and also chanted Dattabavani during our journey from Kolhapur to Meeraj. Since it was a Sunday evening the Meeraj – Mumbai train...

|| 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...
