Nhau Tujhiya Preme - The Experience of Love

Since Nhau Tujhiya Preme was webcast live to us on the 26th of May, it has been received beautifully by Shraddhavans across Australia. Here are some of the reactions to the event from the Bapu Parivaar in Australia.

Naveensinh Nayak and Ranjanaveera Nayak from Melbourne, have this to say.

"Please note here below our feedback to the Nhahu Tuziya Preme event:
 

There really are times we are without words during or after a show because the event itself was so inspiring, perfect, real and amazing, and Nhahu Tuziya Preme was absolutely no exception by any count.  And, it is always challenging to try to put into words something that can only truly be experienced through heart.

 

Before we provide our humble feedback we would like to reiterate Poojiya Sameerdada’s words spoken when he made the announcement of this grand event, Nhahu Tuziya Preme. He said “Na Bhooto Na Bhavishiyati Asa Satsang Honar Ahe” and what a statement he made !!! Poojiya Sameerdada’s foresight on this event was exemplary. NTP was not only a musical extravaganza but a program to show our love towards our Sadguru PP Aniruddha  Bapu.

 

For those of us who can’t be there in person, we could have only hoped to live vicariously through the amazing images shared on Facebook and blogs. But this time there was something else in store.

 

No words could describe the joy that we went through when we came to know that the whole event would be made available to all overseas shraddhavaans via live webcast. One will call this luck but in simple words we say this is only because of the love of our Sadguru that he wanted every one of his Shraddhavaans to witness this festival of love.

 

To put the icing on the cake our joy knew no bounds when we heard that the webcast will begin with Rasayatra and Bhavayatra in addition to the Premayatra. Now that is because we had only heard about the Rasayatra and Bhavayatra from our family members and other Shraddhavaans and lo ! we get an opportunity to go back in time to experience those memorable events. Shreeram Bapu for making this happen.

 

The webcast started at 4.30 pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time) and we felt like we were part of the crowd though we were watching live on the television at our home. We were mesmerised to see our Bapu, Aai and Dada live in front of us.…. nothing else matter for that moment of time. Their image on the TV really captured the essence of the night, we were transfixed, and sat for a while soaking it in. Their presence in the stadium itself immortalised the event.

 

We noticed that every little detail of the program was well planned, the compere, Gaurangsinh Wagle gave an awesome prologue to the abhangs that were sung by hand-picked veeras and sinhs. The superlative performances alike by singers, musicians, technicians and support staff was commendable in its own level. This is a very good example of team work and as Bapu says ‘You and I firm together nothing can stand in the way every’. We were fully immersed in His love and fed our soul with banquet of His love and believe everyone watching live or in stadium would have as well. On that day nobody went home hungry of love.

 

With a head full of memories we acknowledge that this was once in a life time experience..the Nhau Tuziya Preme event will always remain in our hearts forever.

 

The bar is now higher for the next sequel of NTP…

 

Lastly, we would like to appreciate the efforts of one and every member in the IT group who under guidance of Poojiya Sameerdada worked hard to make it possible for hundreds of Shraddhavaans outside and inside India to watch the program live from home. Aptrateem !!!

 

We are Ambadnya Bapu…

Vinayaveera from Sydney says
"खूप दिवसापासून लिहायचे होते,

"न्हाऊ तुझिया प्रेमे अनिरुद्ध प्रेमसागरा" या प्रेम यात्रेबद्दल !!!

 

 माझ्या भावना व्यक्त करायच्या आहेत. 

आठवतो मला तो दिवस ज्या दिवशी तुम्ही सर्वाना  सांगितले या कार्यक्रमाबद्दल!!!!!

मन काहुरले कारण आम्ही तो प्रोग्राम मिस करणार होतो. मनाला दिलासा दिला की ठीक आहे नंतर सी डी पाहूया , भारतातील सगळी तयारी whatsapp ,facebook  मुले कळत होती; वाटत होते किती सेवा करतात हे भक्त!!! आपण इथे बसून फक्त बघआयचे ?

पण,

" बापूला माझ्या प्रेमाची तहान ,बापूला माझ्या भक्तीचीच भूक आहे" 

याचा प्रत्यय आला जेव्हा वैभव सिहानी स्वतः फोन वर सांगितेल की ओवरसीस केंद्रांना सुद्धा हा प्रोग्राम पाहायला,अनुभवायला,मिळणार आहे . आनंदाला  पारावर उरला नाही कारण हे म्हणजे तुमच्या योगे आम्हाला अनुभावाय्ले मिळाले या सद्-गुरु तत्वाचे अकारण कारुण्य !!! 

माझया बापूला कोणत्याही गोष्टीपासून आम्हाला बाजूला ठेवायचे न्हवते. बापुना आपल्या प्रत्येक लेकराला देवाच्या प्रेमात चिंब ऒले  करायचे होते 

प्रेम काय असत ते कळत जेव्हा आपल्या आईकडून .त्यानंतर जीवनात अनेक नाती आपल्याला शिकवत प्रेम काय असत .

पण खर प्रेम कळल जेव्हा बापू माझ्या आयुष्यात आले तेव्हाच. त्याचा प्रत्यय प्रत्येक दिवसागणिक येतो आहे.

२६ /०५ /२०१३ रविवारी संध्याकाळी ४ वाजल्यापासून देवाच्या प्रेमात त्यानेच आम्हाला नाहायला घातले. लहान बाळाला जसे न्हावू माखू घालून त्याची आई स्वच्छ सुंदर बनवते त्याहीपेक्षा या माझ्या सद्गुरूने मला आतून प्रेमरसात हळू हळू पूर्ण चिंब भिजवले कारण पुज्य मीना वैनी , आद्य पिपा ,साधना ताई ,चौबळ आजोबा यांना माझा बापू कसा दिसला आणी त्यानी माझ्या सद्गुरूला कसे आळवले तो भाव त्या गायकांच्या भावपूर्ण गायनातून, आय टी टीम च्या अतुलनीय मदतीतून, वादकांच्या सुमधुर वादनातून ,आणी सर्वात उच्चांक म्हणजे

सामोरी बसलेल्या आपल्या आई,बापू,आणी दादांच्या नजरेतून,हालचालीतून,चेहर्यातूनओत प्रोत वाहत असलेल्या आठवणीतल्या भावामधून .

राम रक्षेच्या एका प्रवचनात बापूनी सांगितले आहे कि सद्गुरु तत्वाची सर्व केंद्रे सदैव १०८ % कार्यरत  असतात . पूर्ण खात्री होती की बापू आपल्यासाठीच आहेत. कारण प्रत्येक अभंगामधून वाटत होते की जणू हा माझ्याशीच रिलेटेड आहे आणी त्यातून तो मला खूप काही शिकवून गेला. संपूर्ण अंगावर रोमांच येत होते. पण मनाला खूप मोठा आधार सापडला होता जो खरा होता आणी कधीही दगा देणारा नाही याची त्याने स्वतःच खात्री दिली होति.मनातल्या बापूंबद्दल असणार्या भक्तीला आता आर्त प्रेम कसे असते ते खऱ्या अर्थाने कलले.

सद्गुरू दारीचा आहे मी हो श्वान अनुभवताना आईच्या डोळ्यात गुड्डू बद्दल चे उत्कट प्रेम दिसत होते आणी त्याच बरोबर बापूंचा शाश्वत दिलासा सुधा दिसत होता. श्री राम.
शेवटचा अभंग तर सगळ्या बापू भक्तांनी या देवाकडे केलेली प्रार्थनाच होती आणी त्यातच आम्हाला भरभरून मिळाले बापूंचे प्रेमही अगदी स्पष्ट दिसत होते.

हे बापुराया , आम्हाला सदैव तुझ्याच ऋणात ठेव.

मी अम्बज्ञ आहे.

विनायावीरा."


And Ameysinh Panjape from Sydney, has this to say.

"This event is a great example of team work and a very well execution by P.P. Samir dada, singers, musicians, shradhvans and our IT team. Being in Sydney we were thinking we will miss this opportunity to watch the event but Bapu karito apuli Seva, he made arrangements to watch the event remotely. Ambadnya.

 The name of the event itself narrates everything. The best thing I feel of this event is as follows.

Singers and musicians were amazing, their efforts were really whole hearted. The way they executed their efforts on that day was amazing. To me the effort IT team took in order to put those pictures on the big screen was amazing. Because of these photographs I understood each and every abhang with same efficiency as it was sung and written. Before that day I was knowing abhang but the real meaning was clear on that day.

Bapu was there and the way he was appreciating efforts of every singer was amazing, what else we needed. We got prem and origin of prem ( Abhangas) with actual meaning.

So this is the event which will never happen again (NA BHUTO NA BHAVISHYATI). I really pray to bapu that I don't forget single moment of this event. Eagerly waiting for DVD now :)......

Mee Ambadnya ahe......

Ambadnya,

Ameysinh Paranjape"

"We had a fantastic time watching the event of 'Nhau Tujhiya Preme '. In fact we have no words to express. The after effect of this event was indeed very blissful and mesmerizing and we couldn't get our minds away from the event until the morning. All the viewers watching from Perth (WA) had a same kind of feeling. Those who were watching it for the first time found it very hard to believe the way it was organized. The most amazing aspect was the strength of the most extravagant and spectacular audience. Indeed everyone was getting wet in the blissful shower of love that our dear Bapu, Nandai, Suchit Dada and Sameer Dada were pouring on top of each and every shraddhavan!!!!! We could not wait for another similar kind of event in future. We really appreciate from the bottom of our hearts all the efforts taken for making this event successful. This includes all those talented and amazing singers, a band of all the great musicians, the IT team whose worked continually to make it possible for everyone across 37 countries to view this event live (hats off to Prasadsinh and his team) and of course the many other people/coordinators including you (well done Vaibhavsinh and Leeladharsinh!!) and the audience and last but not the least our dear/loving/praiseworthy P.P. Bapu, Nandai, Poojya Suchit Dada and Sameer Dada.

We have received excellent feedback from all the viewers/sharaddhavans watching from Perth. They all enjoyed watching this event live and the new viewers (those who saw Bapu for the first time) were amazed to see the strength and devotion of people towards Bapu. I am just including some of the pictures for you."

Srijaneeveera and Alvinsinh Dmello of Brisbane said this.

"Rains, they say is a great equaliser. It drenches everyone equally, whether rich or poor, old or young, everyone is drenched, when they are out in the rains. There are those who venture out to enjoy the rains, and then there are those who get caught in it unaware. This varsha of our beloved Bapu's love, was just the same, a rain which drenched the hearts and souls of all alike. Whether, we experienced the event in person at the DY Patil stadium, or watched the live webcast in some other end of the world, we were all drenched alike. 

When the news of a mega satsang being organised, was first announced, I was happy, but not too excited, because I knew, I would not be able to attend. And as the momentum for the event began to build, I felt sad, about missing out on it. But our Bapu knows what lies in the heart of each one. He heard the wishes of all his out of station bhaktas, and organised a live webcast for us... The experience was amazing and mesmerising. 

While I sat at home on Sunday evening, gearing up for the event to begin, I wondered, if Bapu would be shown, or would it be only the singers and orchestra. Would we see Bapu's entrance and exit, I wondered.... and lo behold, we saw it all. Saw each and every expression of Bapu during the event, witnessed the tears flowing from Aai's eyes, saw Dada with his calm smile... Bapu blowing kisses to the singers, the singers who sang with amazing bhaav and dedication. The entire experience was magical. I felt fortunate to be able to witness Bapu live, and only because He organised for me to have that golden opportunity. A Satsang that vibrated around the globe, creating huge vibes of Bappa's protective love and care for all His children, whether far or near. When it rains, everyone is drenched, the rain does not discriminate, nor does our Bapu's premvarshaav.

Pratham Sacchidanand Paduka Pujan(My FirstSacchidanand Paduka Pujan ) Dec 2011

Ananya Premaswarup Dattabhakta Chudamani

Charanashrit Tritaphar Mahapaapvimochak

Sarvapurushaarthapradayak Shantisinhaasanastha

Sadguru Shree Aniruddhasinh ki Jai!

  

The biggest anubhav(experience) of any Bapu bhakt(a devotee of Bapu), I believe is finding Bapu's love and grace. Nothing in the entire universe can compare to the love our Bapu showers on us. Every moment in life is from then on a miracle, every little thing is the part of a divine scheme Bapu has created just for us, each and every individual devotee.

I want to share here, the beautiful chain of Bapu's grand scheme, that led to the first Sachhidanand Paduka Pujan in my residence. In 2011,  various sharaddhavans across Australia were gearing up dor the Sachhidanand Utsav, and Ranjanaveera from the Melbourne Kendra asked me, if I am interested in celebrating the same. My younger son was barely 2 months old at the time, and I did not think I would be able to do justice to the celebrations and with a heavy heart declined. Bapu had a different plan in place, that I wasn't aware of back then. Ranjanaveera, later left for India, and when the padukas finally reached Melbourne, there was an additional one....for us. When I realised that the Paduka had travelled all the way from Mumbai and arrived in Australia, I understood it was Bapu's will.... and made up my mind to celebrate the Sachhidanand Utsav, to the best of my abilities.








When I saw photos of Bapu actually wearing each and every paduka that was sent out for the Sachhidanand Utsav, my heart craved to have a pair of those Padukas come to my home. Bapu had set the ball rolling for me to be a part of it, long back......A few months back, a Bapu Bhakt from Mumbai, had sent me a few booklets, I had not had the time to really look at them in detail, but as I sat, sifting through things to see, what I would need for the Pujan, I saw that there lay a booklet of the Sachidanand Paduka pujan vidhi. I was amazed..... Bapu had arranged for everything to be in place. I did not even know what the Sachhidanand Utsav was, when that booklet had arrived in my home, but Bapu made sure it was easily available to me when I needed it.

Thus in 2011, we partook in the Sachhidanand Utsav for the first time, all by Bapu's Grace and through His divine Leela.

MI TULA KADHICH TAAKNAAR NAHI!!! Anubhav By Dr. Atulsinh Prabhu

MI TULA KADHICH TAAKNAAR NAHI!!!

It was not even a month that I had moved to

 Bangalore to work at a reputed cardiac hospital and I was feeling homesick. My parents had advised me to perform “Ahnik” daily and I was pretty regular at it despite weird duty hours. 29th July 2007, It was a sunny weekend with no trace of any rain. I had planned to catch up with an old school friend who like me had moved temporarily from Mumbai to Bangalore for work. It was after 12 years that I was meeting him and we decided to have lunch together. We met around noon, caught up with lots of things, revived old memories and had a nice time together. As we left for our respective homes, I was held back by a drizzle for which I took refuge near a shop. As I was waiting for the shower to pass, I happened to notice a row of roadside second hand book stalls like the ones we see at Flora fountain area in Mumbai. Inquisitively, I started browsing through the available books with a hope of procuring a good deal especially with a renowned and useful medical textbook which usually are very expensive first hand.
My eyes fell up on a copy of “BIBLE- The New Testament” and a thought crossed my mind that who would think of disposing such a revered book, however the book was dirty and not in a visually attractive condition. With this though in mind I looked on and the next thing I saw was a English version of “SRI SAISATCHARITRA” !!!. My mind just could not accept the book to lie there and I picked it up to see the book. It was in crisp condition and seemed as if the person who bought it had never read it before disposing it off. Though I had a similar book at my house, I simply could not digest the fact that this sacred Granth (although in English edition) was lying in dust at the roadside. I asked the vendor its price . “Twenty rupees” , he said “ but I can give it to you for fifteen”
I did not haggle around with him further and bought it instantly, cleaned it gently and placed it in my bag. Then, I called up my father in Mumbai to tell him about this uncommon experience and could hear a constant jap in the background. I asked him about the jap and he replied that he was in a seva for Gurupournima utsav and I was taken aback. Guru Pournima !!! How is it that I was unaware? I cursed myself apologised to Sai. However,I was happy that He made me aware of this by His Grace and in His way. I happily took the book home, offered flowers and prasad, meditated on Sai, Bapu and considered it as His form always.
Later, I moved to Chennai for 2 years and took the book with me, read it with devotion till one day I gave it to my father for Bapu’s ‘hastasparsha’ and forgot everything about it. After my return to Mumbai, I took Marathi version of Shri Sai satcharitra to read completely forgetting about the English version. 
It was Ramnavami day 01 April 2012 when my wife Shruti and sister Greeshma attended the Utsav at Shri Harigurugram. As they went for Sai satcharitra pathan, my sister opted to take an English version for the pathan and when she took the first book of the lot in her hands, she was surprised to see a label bearing my name “Dr Atul Prabhu”. Being confused, she couldn’t quite understand why a book with my name was lying there. After speaking to my father, they understood the matter and brought the book home after taking permission from the shraddhavan volunteer. 
As I was in Sydney, I came to know this when I called them at night to enquire how the utsav was celebrated in Mumbai. I could not believe what had happened. The Sacred granth amidst a pile falling in only my sister's hands is definitely more than a mere coincidence and is nothing else than a glimpse of His unconditional love. 
This is a perfect example of the magnitude of truth in Bapus gvahi “ I shall never forsake you”. It is not a mere statement but a representation of Bapu/Sai/Parmatma’s love and grace. He will never leave us alone ever even if we leave Him. 
This reminds me of Dr Yogindrasinh’s magical words…………. 
Guruchi kripa Hich Gurupournima ho.
Pratikshani amha anubhav laho. 
Guruchya runanche akhand smaran raho. 
Gurumaulichya runi mi budalo . Aniruddha tujha mi kiti runi jhalo. 
Hence I decided to share this experience with you all on occasion of Gurupournima 2012 since it has been 5 years since the day the Granth came to me. It relieved me of my loneliness, provided me sahvaas, took care of me when I was away from my family and brought me back safely. If it were not for Bapu's teaching, we would not have gauged the importance of Saisatcharitra in our life. Truly, I am indebted to you Bapu for thy grace in the way the granth came to me unexpectedly not once but twice and on both occasions during a major utsav was being celebrated Gurupournima and Ramnavami even when I had forgotten about it. Lots of Shreeram Bapu for your eternal grace.

A Life Saviour and a Companion Bapu

‘Gurur Bramha Gurur Vishnu Gurur Devo Maheshwarah Gurur Sakshat Parabrahma Tasmaye Shree Guruve Namah’

Most of the shraddhavans may have heard about this magical mantra. This mantra tells us about the importance of Guru in our lives. I have always been influenced in my life with the ‘Guru-shishya’ relationship. ‘Guru’ is more of a generic term used for any kind of teacher who can impart the knowledge of something he/she has mastered.

Likewise 'Sadguru' is a term used more broadly to classify this kind of relationship. It can only be used for the one and only enlightened being whose purpose in life is to guide others in their spiritual journey who's none other than our Nitya Anadi 'Bapu'. I grew up hearing a lot of stories about saints and how their like was influenced by their Gurus. I was convinced that one day I'll definitely find my own Sadguru who will guide me in my spiritual journey. I was doing my final year of Engineering when I heard about one such Sadguru who had just started influencing many people and he was none other than our Sadguru Shree Shirdi SaiBaba and Swami Samartha Maharaj from my uncle. He showed me the photo of this great divine person and to my amazement and surprise his first vision itself was beyond my imagination. He took us to Shri Sai Niwas and to the temple at Juinanagar. We were very fortunate to receive the (Rui Bhasma) which was given to all the shraddhavans at that time.

    I'd just like to share my first experience that I had about Bapu. I was sitting on the couch with my mom and masi and there was a telephone call for my masi at home. My masi was talking with someone on the phone and when she finished talking she came and sat with us. When she was sitting on the couch she started fainting and we could clearly see that she was getting a paralytic attack. My mom was shocked to see her in this condition and I was frightened, but then I remembered about my uncle telling me about our Sadguru (Bapu) and I could only remember about the 'Rui Bhasma' that we got from the temple at Juinagar. I immediately went to get it and applied some on the forehead of my masi and put some into her mouth. She fell unconscious after that and my father went to call the doctor. The doctor had arrived immediately within a while and even my masi  slowly started regaining her consciousness and she was perfectly fine by the time doctor started examining her. The doctor confirmed that she had this only out of stress but we all could actually see what she had gone through. And thankfully by Bapu's grace she hasn't had any health problems since then. Bapu had given us a clear proof of his grace even when we had not even started knowing very well. We should all be Ambadnya in true sense after having experienced this kind of a grace.

    The second instance that I could recall was when I was studying and doing my final year of Engineering. Now everyone can understand that the college days are memorable and full of struggle at the same time. I never failed in any of the subjects while I was completing my studies but when I had attempted 7th Semester which was during the last year of my studies I wasn't able to pass in one of the subjects. That was in the year December 1999 and that was the beginning of the time since we had started experiencing P.P. Bapu's grace. Only because of my Bapu's grace I was able to pass in that subject as I had applied for the re-evaluation again for that subject and then I was passed without having to attempt it again.

    The third instance I can never forget in my life as it's extremely threatening even when I still recall it today. This was somewhere in April 2007. That was Saturday morning between 11:00am to 12:00pm. I was driving down the road and was on my way to shopping Centre and also had my mom and daughter accompanying me and they were seated at the back of my car. I was about to turn right from the signal when my car collided with another car. For a moment I didn't understand anything at all as to what was happening. Then I realized that my car had completely crashed out and damaged from the front when it collided with another car. But we were alive and safe and my daughter and mom were still seated behind. And even the people seated inside the second car were alive and safe. Then few people gathered and someone told to park the car on the sideways of the road to prevent the traffic. The police arrived immediately for the interrogation and even my husband was there within half an hour. But because there were no injuries the police were able to complete their job quickly. Then I realized what a horrifying experience we had. The most invaluable thing we had inside the car was the photo of our Sadguru, Aai and Suchit Dada. When we came back home, my mom said that this could have so much worse than we could ever imagine. But to my surprise my Sadguru had proven it wrong again and showered his same grace on me and my beloved ones the third time. We all felt so much protective by his grace after having gone through this nightmare. All I can say is it's very hard to understand God but our Sadguru is trying to make it so simple for us by showing his presence and indicating that he's always with us and nothing can go bad at any time. We are truly Ambadnya and shall always be at your feet!!!!

Our Experience in Australia

During these last 11 years we have experienced numerous miracles of our Bapu. These incidences have only reaffirmed our faith in Him. We feel delighted to share couple of recent major experiences which we came across in Australia.

On 1 Nov 2006 we arrived at Melbourne from Singapore. As per the Contract my company provided me with a two week's leave and a temporary accommodation so that in those two weeks I could find a permanent rental place to stay. I was stressed and did not know what, where and how to find accommodation in this new place. Being in a new country it is not an easy job to find rental houses without any help. Nevertheless, I selected an area where I found many people from our subcontinent stay and started early in the morning to search for a rental house. I had my Bapu constantly in my mind as I was looking at different houses. In Melbourne there are many formalities that need to be satisfied with the real estate agents to inspect and shortlist the rental places. A week passed by and I had not a single home in my shortlist. The remaining five days were more crucial for me and my wife, Ranjanaveera. Then the next two days also went by without much luck. After reaching home and feeling hapless my wife and myself kept praying Bapu to help us out in this foreign land where we knew nobody. After the evening upasana of our Param Pujya Bapu my wife told me to pray and apply Udi to forehead without fail before leaving the house in the morning. Duh! I said to myself, how did I forget applying Udi so many days before leaving the house?

As told, the next morning I prayed 'Bapuraya now only you can get us a rental home' and applied Udi. I was looking for a two bedroom house and I told Bapu that I will devote one room specially for You as Your Upasana Centre in Melbourne. Like previous days I left and went to meet the real estate agent. He gave me a list of accommodation to look for. The first house that I came across that day had everything that we had in our mind and as a bonus was close to all the amenities one could ever think off. Moreover it had three bedrooms which I wasn't really looking for. When I enquired with the agent about the monthly rent I was shocked to hear that the rent of this house was less than that of a normal two bedroom house. I just shut my eyes and kept saying in my mind ' BAPU I CANT BELEIVE THIS BUT THANK YOU '.

In Melbourne, if you are super lucky then the minimum duration to be selected as a tenant by the agent and owner is three days. Now these three days are - a day for the agent to contact the owner and provide him with list of interested tenants, then a day for the owner to ring the references to know interested tenant's background / salary status and finally a day for owner to make his mind and advise the agent. After the inspection the agent told me to wait for half an hour so that he could speak to the owner. After half an hour I called the agent to know the status of my application and I could not believe my ears when the agent said the owner wants to give me the house on rent whilst there are people still inspecting the house and showing their interest at the same property. Being a new person in the town I neither had any reference nor past bank history but more importantly did I have my mauli Bapu's Udi with me on that day. I was spellbound by my Param Pujya Sadguru's boundless compassion. I can never forget this moment. Immediately thereafter signing the rental contract when I came out those interested tenants waiting outside asked me how did I get the house and I confidently showed my Bapu's photo on my Trivikram locket.

We had now one room specially referred to as Bapu's room wherein we did our weekly Upasanas and daily prayers. I also understood that Bapu had showered his grace upon me. I realized that if you make a sincere request to Bapu and if request is reasonable then Bapu will definitely answer to your request. The fact was just proved. So if you have faith in Bapu, in daily life, whenever you have day to day difficulties, he will definitely come to your rescue.

HOW COULD ONE DESCRIBE HIS LEELA's ? THERE IS NO NEED TO WORRY ONCE YOU TAKE HIS UDI AND HIS NAME WITH FIRM FAITH. Just want to conclude saying that HIS LOVE AND HIS GRACE IS ALWAYS WITH US - BE IT OUR HOMELAND OR IN FOREIGN LAND.

After two years of renting in that same house we were informed by our owner that he wanted to sell the house (he feared he would not get a better price in coming five years due to 2008 Global Financial Crisis) and so we were forced to moved out. We had two choices either to move into another rental house or to buy our own house. We thought buying was a better choice but again we found ourselves racing against time. As our daughter was growing up we were looking for a house which would be near to her school. Now that when we decided to buy, we had the same intentions of buying a three bedroom house, being one room specially for our Sadguru Bapu. Again we went through the roller coaster ride as we were in the period of getting our Permanent Residency and also buying a house. Those were really stressful days of our life. Our Permanent Residency was getting delayed due to some or the other reasons. And as per our initial plans we had planned to wait to get our Permanent Residency prior to buying a house but our Bapu had something else in store for us.

Since we had to act quickly we decided on one of the property which was near to school and the railway station as well. We signed the papers and got the keys. After signing the contract we had two months to move into our new house. We were not happy thinking that although we purchased a house in Australia we won't be having our parents or our close relatives for the house warming ceremony. It was again through Param Pujya Bapu and Param Pujya Suchitdada that we got an auspicious date to move into the new house. But persistent delay in getting Permanent Residency was also adding to grief. A month passed by and suddenly one day I got a call in my office that we have got the Permanent Residency. The situation had changed completely and I was shocked to believe my ears. On hearing this I became very happy and felt pleasantly relieved. OUR HEART WAS FULL OF GRATITUDE AND LOVE FOR BAPU. WE REALISED HOW BAPURAYA STANDS BEHIND HIS DEVOTEES AND ALWAYS WANTS THEM TO BE CHEERFUL AND HAPPY.
 
Later, when there were only two days to move into the new house, we were MORE SURPRISED WHEN WE OPENED A COURIER sent from Sydney by a Bapu bhakta, Ashishsinh Rane. Being Satchidanand Utsav in December we had received our Param Pujya Bapu's Padukas. WE WERE EXTREMELY GRATEFUL TO OUR BAPU AND THANKED HIM SINCERELY FROM THE DEPTHS OF OUR HEARTS. As advised by HIM, on 5 December 2008 we moved into our new home with all smiles and happiness along with our Bapu's Padukas. Before unpacking our things in the house, we had Paduka poojan done in our new house. What more could we wish for when Bapu himself came past seven seas to bless us and our new home and we walked into our new home along with our Sadguru Bapuraya. Now to just make a point here, all of above events cannot be just series of coincidences waiting to happen. I can confidently say that it was my Bapu who took care of all of above events to my advantage.

 

ANIRUDDHA HOW INDEBTED WE ARE

ANIRUDDHA HOW INDEBTED WE ARE....

 

I would like to conclude saying

WHENEVER WHEREEVER ANYWHERE, WHEN THINGS GO HAYWIRE, MY ANIRUDDHA BAPPA IS ALWAYS HERE THERE EVERYWHERE TO TAKE CARE FOREEVER FOREVER FOREVER....

 

We are eternally indebted to Bapu, Nandaai and Suchitdada for protecting our family and for always being there for us even though we stay so far from India. DEAR BAPU, WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALWAYS WITH US EVERYWHERE. WE FEEL SO BLESSED. PARAM POOJIYA BAPU, NANDAAI AND SUCHITDADA WE KNEEL BEFORE YOUR LOTUS FEET AND PROSTRATE HUMBLY WITH LOVE AND DEVOTION.
