It was the evening of the 8th of October 2005. I was thrusting a lot of my belongings in a bag as I was preparing to go to the Cleveland clinic, America for a training course of 2 months duration. Meanwhile, my wife, Mrs. Priya, came along with a photograph of her deity (Yes, I was considering HIM as only her deity then) and said to me, “Rajeev, I know that you do not believe, but please keep this photograph in your bag for my sake.” At the time, I was not aware that the hands of Param Poojya Bapu, in the photograph, which were raised to give blessings, will hold back the ‘gigantic Tsunami’ approaching my life! During those years, I used to travel abroad at least 5 to 6 times a year. But it was only during this visit that my wife thought of giving me this photograph and this was not a mere coincidence. In the third week of November, there was a sudden shot of pain in my back (ribs). I thought that it was probably because of the snowfall, cold breeze and my demanding daily schedule....

Hari Om! I am Santoshsinh Tanaji Rale residing at Rajgurunagar, district Pune. I am 33 years old, married with a 5 years old son. Since childhood, I had a burning desire to join the Indian Army and serve the nation. I had to face several obstacles in order to achieve this. I continued to have faith in God and kept trying my best. After taking massive efforts, on August 27th 1994, my dream turned into reality and at the age of 18 years, I travelled to Belgaum for my training. I kept on achieving several milestones one after another and in 2001; I excelled in the Commando course. After that, I was posted near the Kashmir border in a region called Kupoda. My wife heard about Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu in the year 2003 and she immediately informed me about him and asked me to chant “Om Mansamarthyadata Shree Aniruddhaya Namah” mantra. From the time I got this mantra, I would chant this mantra whenever I would face any obstacles or difficulties. In fact I had not even seen Sadguru Aniruddha...

This is an unforgettable experience related to my Dubai based younger brother Shri. Rajeev Dutt’s family. This experience proves that regardless of whichever corner of the world one is in, our Sadguru Aniruddha Bapu’s blessings are always with him. Our Sadguru promptly comes forward to rescue a devotee from the trials and tribulations of life by conquering entire eras, time and distance. In May 2002, my sister-in-law delivered a wonderful baby girl. She was named “Eesha.” Since my brother is stationed in Dubai, my sister-in-law returned to Dubai with the baby 3 months post delivery.Since Eesha is the youngest member of the family, everyone would pamper her. However, even after having celebrated her first bithrday, she could not stand on her own feet. I was worried and had an inkling of apparent disaster. Family members pacified me by saying that some children do achieve certain developmental milestones such as standing, walking etc later than usual. Well, I was in Hong Kong while...

On the 10th of May 2010, at around 6.00 am, we (Sameerdada and I) returned to Happy Home from our Kankavali tour. As usual, Sameerdada proceeded to meet Param Poojya Bapu on the 6th floor. Param Poojya Bapu was having coffee in the living room. Vaibhavsinh Karnik was sitting with him. Vaibhavsinh said, “In fact, today Bapu was going to sleep early at around 4.30 am. But then, Param Poojya Nandai woke up due to some reason and Bapu had to spend about an hour speaking with her.” Sameerdada narrated in brief regarding the tour and how it had gone off well after which Bapu retired to his room and we also left. The next day, our routine commenced at 11.30 a.m. After completing his work, Sameerdada went home for lunch at around 4.45 pm. Mr. Avinash Ajgaonkar (works as a driver in Happy Home) called me up sometime between 5.30 - 5.45 pm. He was sounding a bit scared. He told me that the building where Dhrutiveera (Sameerdada’s daughter) attends her coaching class is on fire. No sooner ...
