Diwali 2018 bulawa & blessings..

Jai Guru Ji..

Diwali is very special for everyone as you meet with all your near and dear ones.  I also wanted to visit Guruji for Diwali on Diwali day but I was not sure whether my family's schedule would permit that.  Just a week before Diwali I went to Bade Mandir and I had tears in my eyes.  I told Guruji that I wanted to come and meet him for Diwali but I may not be able to come.

Just a day before Chotti Diwali, I saw Guruji in my dream.  He was just standing with a specific hand folded pose in a maroon colour chola.  I got up and thanked Guruji for his dream darshan and blessing. The swaroop that I saw in the dream, is not very common amongst all Guruji's pictures available now.  I searched for it on internet and I found the same picture of Guruji standing in Empire Estate Mandir with folded hands.  I thought that may be Guruji is indicating that I should visit him at Empire Estate Mandir.

I found out from someone that Empire Estate Mandir is not open for Darshan on Chhoti Diwali. I thought let me go and see.  If Guruji will allow, they will let me have His Darshan.  I took an auto from my office to reach there with Diwali Gifts for Guruji :).

As I reached there and knocked on the door, the sevadaar aunty came. I told her that I have to come to meet Guruji for Diwali.  She called some other sevadaar uncle and I told him the same thing.  Generally, they dont allow sangat to pay visit like this, but to my amazement not even once they said that I cant meet Guruji.  

They very kindly opened the door for me and I sat with Guruji alone. As I got up after praying to Guruji, the sevadaar uncle told me to stop. He said 'wait, we are getting Chai Prashad for you'.

Unbelievable, I thought.  I relished that Chai & Samosa Prashad and alone time with Guruji . Guruji showered me with so much love and blessings that day.

Jiveen assa pareeta paiyaan Guruaan nu milan layi, uss preet di reet Guruji ne vi nibhai honi hai.

Jai Jai Guruji.

S-458, Guruji's GK Mandir and the connection

Jai Guru Ji

When Guruji's GK Mandir (S-458) got re-opened, I got a WhatsApp forward and I went there to pay my respect.  Later I came to know that it is not open for Sangat on daily basis.  I was a little disheartened on knowing this, as my office is in Nehru Place and I thought it would be easier for me to visit frequently.

Still then, I would often visit GK Mandir morning/evening even if it is closed.  I would stand outside and pray and I have received so many blessings in form of rose fragrance, peacocks screaming, OM Darshans. Guruji after all is not bound by closed doors, even if I cant see him, he saw me coming almost daily.

Then one day while sleeping I saw a vision of home with number S-451.  I wondered what it is and then ignored it.  2-3 days later, again a saw the same vision. I couldn't make out what it is, as Guruji's Mandir address is S-458.  I told my driver to take me to S-451.  I wanted to see what is so special in that home. We reached there and there was no home number as S-451.  We looked around and couldn't find one.  After much searching, we found out that is a barren plot where construction of a home is going on.  I didn't understand what relevance it had with my vision and left it on Guruji.  I told my driver jokingly 'lagta hai Guruji is saying yeh tumhara ghar hai'.

Few days later, when I again visited GK Mandir, I saw that it was all broken.  I asked someone and they mentioned that it is being renovated.  I then realised that may be Guruji wants me to tell by
S-451 vision that his Mandir will also soon be broken and renovated.  I still kept visiting GK Mandir thinking that Guruji soul resides here.  Sometimes the passerbys would look at me astonishingly on seeing me with folded hands in front of ''Malba'''.

But Guruji surely was seeing me.  On the day, when the Mandir had to be re-inaugurated, I got no whatsapp or any intimation that it is getting re-opened and satsang will be held there.  There was some work and I was thinking whether I should visit the Mandir that day.  But a strange pull brought me to GK Mandir and Alas! I was surprised to see the Mandir re-opened and Satsang is about to start.  Contrary to the parking crunch there and people advising me to park my car at GK Market, I got the parking right in front of Guruji's Mandir.  

Guruji called me to re-opening of GK Mandir and  Satsang with so much love.  Our Master surely sees us whether we are able to see Him or not .  All he wants is to give and receive love.  Also, if he wants to call anyone, He will make sure that the person reaches him anyhow.

Jai Guruji

When I heard Guruji's Voice..

Jai Guru Ji..

Some time back, I so desperately wanted to hear Guruji's voice and was thinking..it would have been a great blessing if I could have met Him earlier, heard Him, may be touched Him.

I requested Guruji to please make me hear Him..I just wanted to hear Him once and receive his blessings.

Next day..I was listening to one satsang by Meera Jauhar Aunty on YouTube with my earphones ON.  Just a minute must have passed, and her voice that was audible to me changed.  Unbelievable to many, but it became a male's voice that I was hearing. Also, the satsang which she was narrating became very unclear...I could just hear a male voice narrating something.

First, I assumed it to be a technical problem and didnt hear it for some time.  After few minutes, I plugged it and again that Male voice was there...I again thought that may be some problem with my phone or the video.. I sent that video link to my colleague and checked on her phone and earphones.  It was perfectly fine!

It suddenly struck me that a day before, I had requested Guruji that I wanted to hear Him.  Still doubtful, I clicked on many other videos on Youtube but they were perfectly audible and fine. So, it ruled out any problem with the phone also.

                  

After about 30 Minutes, I clicked on another Guruji Satsang by a Dubai Sangat and again the voice became Male's. I sent that satsang to my friend and on her phone, it was fine. It firmed by belief that indeed Gurui is blessing me with his voice and may be also conveyed me that whenever a satsang is shared by a sangat, Guruji speaks through him/her and it is indeed  a big blessing.

Only Guruji knows that how many times I have tried to bother him, but Him being so loving, patient, and forgiving, he always grants our wishes.

Jai Jai Guruji.. Shukrana Guruji

The Amaze-ing Blessings..

Jai Guru Ji

As I had mentioned in my previous satsang, Guruji blessed me with a new car i.e. new Amaze. The day we got the delivery of the car, I went with my family to Empire Estate Mandir to thank Guruji.  It was a Monday and we thought that Empire Estate would be open in the evening, but it wasn't. We requested them to let us in but they didn't.  Anways, the Sevadaar uncle said 'You can give me the car key and the mithai that you got for Guruji, I will take it inside the Mandir and get it blessed 'and we did so.  After he got the key of the car blessed, he also got one rose bouquet along with it as Guruji blessing. What a lovely blessing we all thought and came back home.

Next day while going to office, I wanted to click a picture of the car to send it to my family.  My husband was sitting inside the car. I sent that picture to my family and noticed a very strange thing..

As I zoomed the picture of my husband sitting inside the car, it wasnt his face.  It is as if someone else is sitting.  His face looked like a combination of two different faces.. I showed that picture to my family and my friends and everyone said this 'This is not him'.  I then realised that may be Guruji gave his  darshan and blessings since we couldn''t enter his temple, the previous day :) .  Unbelievable to understand it for many, it was surely a big blessing for us.

After few days, I was going to  my neighbourhood and a very strong fragrance of roses accompanied me everywhere.  I thought ''today, Guruji is very happy and therefore he is blessing me''.  Same day evening we decided to go for a late night drive.  As we got down to go, I saw reflection of Guruji's face on the car.  I showed it to my kids and they laughed it away.  I forgot about it after that.

While coming back from that late night drive, our car was standing on a red light and some taxi company driver, hit it from the back badly (probably drunk).  It was such a strong jerk that we all came out and were shaken badly.  Our car got smashed from behind badly. But, surprisingly all of us were unhurt.

I then realised that Guruji saved us that day by giving his blessings in form of rose fragrance and face impression on the car.

Thank you Guruji for all your protection, care, love, guidance and blessings.  Always be with all of us.

Jai Guruji.

My Health Checkup and that One Call..

Jai Guru Ji

Guruji always direct us to what is good and important for us.

I get my health checkup done every year and this gives me anxiety..some days before and some days after the checkup.  This year, I bravely decided that I will not get it done..I am perfectly alright and I am feeling healthy.  Because of this overconfidence, I started neglecting my eating habits and workouts.  I was getting into that 'All is Well and I can be lazy' trap.  5 months passed since the due checkup date.

But somewhere I had this thought of whether I should get it done or not.  I spoke to Guruji and told him. 'Guruji, I am taking this very brave decision for me. I am not getting my health checkup done this year.  If you feel that I should get it done, either you come or speak to me or let Apollo Hospital people call me that my health check up is due' (Apollo hospital never calls people to follow up, I was very sure, even if you miss it for 2-3 years)

After about a month, I got a call from APOLLO Hospital. They said 'Madam, your health checkup is due' and I was like 'What?? you are calling me, you never call!'.  I immediately realised that this is a directive from Guruji and after  15 days I went for my annual health checkup.

Nurse checked the BP and she said it is high.  I said, it cannot be, may be because of anxiety, it is high.  She checked 2-3 times and it was still high.  I went to the hospital  physician and he said 'It is high and you should start taking BP medicine immediately'.  I tried explaining it to doctor that it may be due to anxiety, but he refused to listen and prescribed me BP medicine.  I looked at Guruji swaroop in amazement 'Why Guruji, why?'

I went for my Gynae checkup and the doctor said that I had some  infection, which I had no symptom of, and she gave me some mild medicines to eat.

I had go to general physician again (same day) and I told him to check my BP again.  This time, it was perfectly normal.  Doctor was surprised, he said 'aapne medicine le li kya? (have you already taken the medicine)? and I said NO.  He said dont take medicine now, but generally keep your lifestyle healthy.

So, in nutshell, without this checkup I would have never realised that my BP was going on a higher side and of that Gynae infection and it could have been worse.  But Guruji knew it and therefore the most un-expected call from Apollo came.

Guruji.. you are so caring and loving.  What would have I done without you.  Thank you so much!

Jai Guruji

Six Months later..You wait & watch..

Jai Guru Ji

I have been regularly going to Bade Mandir every Thursday and because of this, I started talking to some regular sewadaars and they started knowing me.  One of such blessed Sewadaar is Mukesh Uncle and we generally exchanged pleasantries after I had my Darshan & Langar.

One fine day, out of the blue, he told me 'aap ab regularly aane lag gaye ho..aapko lagan lag gayi hai.. cheh mahine baad dekhna aapke saath kya achha hota hai'. (you have now started coming regularly and now you seem to be connected...just wait and watch what happens to you after six months).  I was surprised!! I asked him what he meant by that and he said even he doesn't know and just wait for six months to pass.

I was happy that I have got Guruji's message and blessings through him and kept wondering what will happen after six months.  I think I forgot about this in due course.

As six months since then were about to be finished, I was blessed with two major gifts from Guruji and I only knew that they were my most cherished desires.  I had been dreaming about them since long but never asked Guruji to fulfil them since I believed that if Guruji wanted it to happen, it will happen on its own..I am in no hurry!

Guruji not only blessed me with a New big car but he also blessed me with my childhood dream i.e. Going to London for a vacation with family.  Both these things fell in my lap unexpectedly, suddenly and without a pre-planning.

There are seperate satsangs regarding car and London visit which I shall write in seperate posts.

I am most thankful to Guruji because he has flourished my life and my soul to the maximum and has kept me and my family in his sharan.

I also called Mukesh Uncle to give this news and for sure he was very very happy to hear this..

Jai Jai Guruji...Many many thanks!

Lost and Found..Guruji saves the day !

Jai Guru Ji.

Earlier, when I used to read some of the satsangs mentioning how Guruji helped them to find their lost valuables, my logical mind thought, what are people doing? They are just getting Guruji in everything. Guruji for sure has better and bigger issues to solve, than to find their lost gold ring!!

Until...it happened with me too.

I generally keep my solitaire ring at one place, after I come back from office or in my handbag.  Nowhere else, since I have the habit of forgetting where have I kept things.  One fine day, before leaving for office, I looked at the same place but my ring was not there.  I looked in my handbag and it was still not there.  After coming back from office, I searched all the cupboards, it was nowhere. I really got worried then.  Since it is too expensive, I cant even tell it to my family that it is lost.  Also, I cant buy it again..what to do??

For the very first time, I spoke to Guruji mentally for a material thing, much against my wishes.  I told him 'Guruji, I have no courage to tell my family about this nor I can buy it again, please help me!!  Get someone to call me that they have found my lost ring..please please do something'.

I closed my eyes and suddenly something happened to me.  I went in the other room, opened my daughter's cupboard, looked underneath a stack of clothes and WOW..my ring was there!.  It is as if some magic has happened.  I thanked Guruji immensely but again the devil logical mind said 'it may be coincidence'.

Few weeks later, my daughter gave me her sunglasses to keep in my handbag.  After few days, she asked for it.  Again..the sunglasses were not in my handbag.  I again got worried since it was her birthday gift and pretty expensive.  This time I told my family and we all searched everywhere, but they were nowhere to be found.  We looked in all the cupboard, cars, drawers etc.!

Very reluctantly and helplessly, I had to speak to Guruji again for this small thing.  I told him 'Guruji, you know how dear these sunglasses are to my daughter, please help ..I promise I will be very careful in future'..  Just as I spoke to him, I immediately got up, opened my son's cupboard, and they were right there on the top.  How is it possible? We must have looked in his cupboard atleast 10 times earlier.

Both the times, it wasn't a  co-incidence, my mind has understood.

Guruji is always with us, listening, hearing and watching us..We just sometimes choose to ignore or term it as co-incidence.

Thank you Guruji for everything.. Jai Guruji!

Hastey Raha Karo..message from Guruji

Jai Guru Ji

There are days when you just want to meet Guruji or miss him so much..I guess it was one of those days, when I went to Bade Mandir on a Thursday.

There were many un-answered questions in my mind, too many things to thank him for, too much love and respect that I wanted to express   That day, Guruji kindly blessed me by making me sit near his Gaddi in Bade Mandir Hall.  As I listened to the soulful shabads, tears were just rolling down by eyes, out of Gratitude.

I didn't knew what to do at that moment, how do I express my gratitude to him, how do I get to see him , how do I seek answers for my unanswered questions. Amidst this dilemma, I was very happy with my eyes closed and tears of joy were continuously flowing down.  I wanted to hear one message from Guruji that will fulfill my soul.

After I had my Langar Prashad, generally I go to bow down again to Him before leaving.  That day, when I was again in the queue, I saw from far that  a new sewadaar (who was standing near Guruji's Gaddi) was continuously smiling at me.  I thought he must be mistaking me for someone else.  As I approached nearer, his smile got wider, as if he wanted to tell me something.  I thought he will say 'aap phir aa gaye, abhi toh aap maatha tek ke gaye they.. (you have come again? you came earlier also for bowing down).

But, to my surprise, as I came near to Guruji Gaddi where he was standing, he stopped me and sai ' Hastey Raha Karo, Guruji hai naa, sab sambhaal lenge'. (keep smiling, Guruji is there and he will take care of everything).

OMG..it cant get this direct, I thought.  What a big blessing and assurance from Guruji..I had seen this Sewadaar for the first time and had never spoken to him earlier.

Guruji knows best what and how.. leave it to him, all the time.

Jai Guru Ji 

Mahashivratri Blessings & Sewa

Jai Guru Ji

I have always craved for Sewa at Bade Mandir but never got an opportunity to do so despite trying.  Thinking it to be Guruji's wish, I stopped contacting anyone for giving me Sewa at Bade Mandir.  It was my earnest wish to work in Bade Mandir kitchen and contribute in preparing Langar.

One day when I was eating Langar at Bade Mandir with my friend, two sewadaars were also sharing Langar with us.  Just for the sake of starting the conversation, I asked them :

Me : Uncle, you do Sewa here at Bade Mandir?
Him : Yes, we do
Me : OK
Him :  Aapko karni hai Sewa ?  (You want to do sewa)?
Me : Yes, but I can come only till 9 pm.
Him : Why?
Me : My children are small and I stay far.  So, I have to reach back home on time.
Him : (a bit angrily) OK, then raise your kids first and think about doing Sewa.

I was then quietly eating my Langar, when the Sewadaar uncle said 

'Listen, open Sewa hai.  Aapko teen din aana hai sewa karne'.  (you have to come 3 days to do sewa).
Kaise karna hai, yeh aap dekhiye, but aapko teen din sewa karne aana hai (how to do it, that you see, but you have to come for 3 days).

I was confused and excited at the same time.  The way he said it so authoritatively, it seemed like Guruji is ordering me to come.

I joined with my friend for Bade Mandir Sewa, before Mahashivratri and to my delight, was given Kitchen Sewa (which I always wanted).  On 2 days, Guruji blessed me with his fragrance while doing Sewa.  On third day, just a day before Mahashivratri, me and my friend were offered Langar Prashad distribution sewa in the afternoon as well as decoration sewa at Guruji's main Hall.

As I stepped in my car after doing 3rd day Sewa, a tiny waterdrop appeared on my handbag as Guruji blessing.

Such are ways of Guruji to bless his Sangat and reduce their Karmas.

Thank you so much Guruji.  

Jai Guru Ji

Anniversary Gift & Wishes..from Guruji

Jai Guru Ji

Last year, on 12th of December was my wedding anniversary and I wanted Guruji's special blessings on that day.  Since it was a working day, I attended half day in office and was leaving for home in afternoon.

I wanted to go to Bade Mandir that day, but since it was Tuesday, Bade Mandir was closed.  I thought let me go to GK Mandir and pay my regards to Guruji.  Although, I knew it would be closed, but still, my heart was craving for his Darshan. I took Mithai Prashad for him, just in case the Mandir is open.

I went there and surprisingly, it was open!  I was happy !  But, Sevadaar uncle told me that the Mandir is not open for Darshan for Sangat.  I requested him to let me in for 1 minute, so that I can pay my regards to Guruji.  I told him that I have got Mithai Prashad and he got it blessed from Guruji.  Then I requested him to keep it in Mandir only for distribution.  He asked me my name and then told me 'please write your name on the Mithai Box' and I did that.

In my heart, I wanted some gift or blessings from Guruji.  As I stood to get up and go, the Sevadaar uncle didnt even give me Jal Prashad.  I was surprised since they give Jal Prashad to everyone who is in Mandir.  But, for the first time, I thought, I will not ask for any prashad from uncle.  If Guruji has to give me, he will give it to me anyway.  May be there is some good in it.

I went out after Darshan and was wearing my shoes when the uncle called out to me.  In his hands, was a full box of imported chocolates and he gave the entire box to me!

I was overwhelmed and full of Gratitude for Guruji, who surprised me and gave his blessings on my special day.

Thank you , thank you, thank you Guruji.

What is good for you..will come to you!

Jai Guru Ji

I was thinking of doing Yoga regularly but postponing it for some or the other excuse.  I was also trying to get a good and experienced teacher, but wasn't getting anyone.  Then suddenly I one day, I found a very good teacher and engaged him for teaching Yoga to me.  He is  a young and well built man, sports personality types. 

The day he came for the first class, I saw a dream at  night.

I saw that that a young and well built man, wearing sports track pants (same as my Yoga teacher) called me in an amphitheatre and said 'Aap Idhar Aayiye' (you come here).  When I went to him, he pressed my head, my neck, shoulders and spine and said 'Release Happiness' and I did that thinking 'He should have said 'Release Sadness' and not 'Release happiness'.

Then he asked me 'aapko kaisa lag raha hai' (how are you feeling) and I replied 'Very good, lagta hai bhagwaan ne aapko mere liye bheja hai' (It seems God has sent you for me).  He then started laughing in the dream and then the dream ended there.

2 days later, when my Yoga teacher came, he finished the entire session and then he asked me to close my eyes.  He pressed my head, neck shoulders and spine in the same manner as I saw in my dream.

I had tears in my eyes and it also confirmed my belief that Guruji wants me to do Yoga regularly as it is good for me, and this teacher is sent by him.  Guruji makes us do everything that is good for us!

So Satguru pyara mere naal hai...jithe kithe mainu leye chhaddai...

Jai Jai Guru Ji
