|| 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...

|| 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 ...
