24th December, 2011 in Bombay is a day I will never forget. My brother had made me in charge of the main security gate from where Guruji was to come and go. Standing there the whole day, I was seeing every single person going up and coming and I felt ”why am I not being taken up to meet Guruji? Later that night, Guruji came down and was walking towards the stage and he turned and came to me and held me hand and asked ”kya hua mooh kyun latkake khadi hain’ (What happened? Why are you sad?) I said Guruji nobody is taking me up then Gurdev said ”Acha magar upar bohot bheed hain” (It is very crowded upstairs) then he said ”toh kya kya hua mein neeche tere liye aaya hoon” (I have come down for you) then he went towards the stage and in 10 seconds he came back and held my hand again and said “chal mere saath” (come with me) and in a crowd where people were just shouting ”Guruji” he’s walking ahead looking behind and asking me ”khanaa khaya”? (Did you eat food?) I said haan Guruji. Again he asked ”pet bharke khaya?” (Did you eat enough to fill your stomach?) I said “Jee haan Guruji” and after he left I finally went UP! 😀

A fairy tale, a sci-fi movie, call it whatever you may like, this incident completely changed my life and made me realize what it means to have faith on the Divine. It was just another normal day; I was headed to Kalyan with my family with the music playing in the celebrative atmosphere. We were regaling those moments in the car.
It wasn’t long before we realized that on this busy highway, there was a truck running astray and at break neck speed. Our car tried to make past this unusual and reckless driving, but just as we thought we did, we realised that the truck was right behind and even before we could take evasive action, the truck rammed into our car crushing it almost completely till the back seat. Such was the impact that we felt the body would not even realise it’s got crushed, but as faith would have it, apart from a catastrophic damage to the car no one else incurred any major injury!
To pass it off as just a chance or a coincidence would be undermining the presence of a Master in my life, whose divinity and grace has made me what I am today. So what if we dint see him there saving us, all of us sitting in the car knew this was out of the scope of human possibility.
For someone else this might sound like a fairy tale but for me and my family, we know we are taken care of, always and in all ways.

I did my First Yes Course in May 2008 (after appearing for 10th board exams) I was an average student and after every exam my parents used to tell me same thing that if I would have studied then I would have scored much better marks. In the course my teacher, Swami Hardik ji told us to give 100% in whatever we do in your life. I used to feel very bad that I did not gave my 100% during my SSC studies, so I was tensed and worried about the result all the time. On the day of my result, after Kriya I was sitting in front Guruji’s picture. At that time my mom came and said the same thing, if you would have studied then the situation would have better. I went to toilet and there I felt I could hear Guruji’s Voice in my mind. He asked how much I would like score in 10th, 84% or 87% and I answered that 84% is enough and on my mark sheet my score was exactly 84.15%
The same happened during my HSC exam (12th grade board exams). In that academic year I did almost all the courses, Yes!+, Yes!++, Yes!+ Actually where DSN and I was active in Kalyan Yes!+
I used to feel that if I don’t score good marks then I will spoil Art of living’s image. On the day of my result I was chanting the Guru Pooja in my mind, then I intuitively thought that the second digit of my percentage would be 8, so I was expecting 68 or 78, but 68 was too low and 78 was too high for me. I was praying to Guruji, and when result was declared my score was exactly 78%
I am in my final year of the CA course now. I appeared for CA entrance exam, IPCC, in May 2011. We have 2 groups in IPCC, 1st group has 4 Subjects and 2nd group has 3 Subjects to clear. During my results, I was in the same situation. I prayed to Guruji that I should at least clear one of the two groups, but the moment I prayed to him a I felt that I don’t know what is best for me. I said Guruji whatever is your wish let it happen, then Guruji’s reply (in my mind!) was, “I think you should do the groups”, and the same thing happened, I cleared both the groups.
Today, whatever I am and wherever I am, it’s just because of him; I can’t imagine my life without Guruji and Art of Living.
Jai Gurudev

I would like to share one of my experiences with Guruji. On the 13th of May, 2011, Guruji was in the Bangalore Ashram for his birthday celebrations. We all knew in advance that he was to celebrate this grand day in the Ashram that year. Like every other devotee, it was my wish also to be a part of the celebrations and get the opportunity of meeting him that day. So I had planned to go to Bangalore on the 12th in order to attend the birthday and get Gurujis Darshan .But a few days later, closer to the date, I realised that I would not be able to make it and would have to stay back in Bombay due to certain personal reasons. So basically I had to cancel my entire plan of meeting Guruji on his birthday because of which I was extremely upset as I really wanted to be there. Guruji was supposed to meet each and every devotee one to one on his birthday and I was not going to be there. But little did I know that he was not going to let me remain upset for long as on the night of His birthday, he came in my dream and gave me flowers and blessed me .That was something that was very special for me and I treat it not merely as a dream but a true Darshan that my Master gave me on his birthday. It was nothing less than a miracle for me. It just proved to me that HE is always there for me. I might not be physically close to him but HE is still with me. HE resides within me and is taking care of me and all of us.
Guruji is the best 🙂

When I started the part 1 course, my main purpose was weight loss but I got much more than that. From my 1st day to the 6th day- I was washed every minute. My love and compassion for my Guru was so deep that I wanted to spread the awareness all around, so I immediately became a volunteer and started organizing courses for my teacher- Dinesh Bhojwani. Many miracles were seen in my day-to-day life as he made me realize his presence in every passing day. I use to talk to him every day, bothering him, kept asking him questions till I got the answer and I always did at its right time.
One of the miracles that shook me was when one of my friends wanted to take our friendship to the next level. I had lost all contact with him for nearly two years because of his wrong intentions- and I kept asking Guruji why now? Why again? As taught by Guruji people change, so I dint know had it or not for him. I told Guruji, take 15 days and please solve this for me- LET THE RIGHT THING HAPPEN FOR BOTH OF US. It was unbelievable how in EXACT 15 days the entire truth came in front and GURUJI saved me from having the wrong life partner.
My faith has always being with him even while mom was in the hospital. I was regular with my kriya. I lived in Jaslok hospital, Mumbai for 15 days only with her- I had not seen what was happening in the outside world. My mom’s journey to the hospital continued for 2 months. In between came GURU Poornima where I had decided to do my long kriya at Bandra Talao hall and only shout and shout and ask Guruji what is your plan for my mother and why are you troubling her by making her go through so much in the hospital. After I did my kriya that morning – I tried the hardest to remember what I had to talk to Guruji and I REMEMBERED NOTHING. NOTHING AT ALL- I ONLY LOOKED AT HIS BIG PICTURE & SMILED AT HIM.
My mom’s journey ended at the hospital when she had to also end her time with all of us. She left me and my dad all alone on the 14th June 2010. I dint cry at all in front of my father because I had to support him like I did in our hospital journey. When I burst out at home – my friend played Vikram Hazra’s song Om Namah Shivaya Gurave-Russians Rock. Guruji showed me the visual of him coming and taking mom, holding her hand, both of them wearing white long gowns and my mom was very happy. I smiled and laughed to her and said goodbye.That was my first and till date visual glimpse of Guruji.
Listening to that song till today makes me cry and I she was with me right now. Life has changed a lot for me. I have not been so irregular with kriya since I started this beautiful journey, but I still believe Guruji has a big plan for me.
Jai Gurudev.
Bhavika Hinduja.
