Clouds of Grace

Jai Gurudev!
This incident is of the time when we participated in the Mission Earth Green Project of AOL. By the time my husband and I had started planting trees in our city, it was already March, and the monsoon season had almost come to an end.
That particular day, we planted around 100 trees in our locality, taking the help of our Mali (Gardner). It was a bright sunny day with scorching heat, because of which our Mali was worried that the trees might die. But my husband told him with immense faith that Guruji won’t let that happen, and He will ensure that these plants/trees are taken care of. Our Master is so caring and just takes care of everything, and if we sincerely pray for something it will surely be granted. Faith and Hope for a miracle was all that we were relying on, as we had made certain commitments for the project, and could not step back fearing the inappropriateness of the season. So we surrendered all to Gurudev.
After about 15 minutes of having planted the tees, our Mali came running towards us and he was literally shouting, “It’s a miracle, your Guruji has listened!”. We were wondering as to why he was saying that. When we came out, we were surprised to see that the sky was overcast with clouds. The sun had been overshadowed by the dark clouds, and it seemed as though it would rain any minute.

This was a true miracle, because just 15 minutes back, there was no sign of a single cloud in the sky. And soon enough, it started raining heavily, and all our plants/trees not only survived, but have now grown into huge, healthy trees.

Rains in the month of March, WOW! Such is the Grace of our Guru. We are really blessed to have a living God with us, in the form of Gurudev.

Love you Guruji! Jai Gurudev!
