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
