He Knew The Right Time To Be There

I was invited to be a part of the Fashion Show at the International Women’s Conference, Bangalore, this year. I have done Pageants in the past, however this one was very prestigious and close to my heart, for the obvious reason!

I met Gurudev a day prior to the event, and told Him that I had come for the ramp walk and took His blessings. My deepest desire was to see HIM watch me on stage. Rehearsals for the event were happening in full swing. My excitement levels were on the rise, as we came closer and closer to the final moments. On the day of the event, contestants were discussing whether Guruji would be present for the event. And I am sure HE KNEW THE RIGHT TIME TO BE THERE.

When it was my turn for the walk, I could see from the distance, Gurudev sitting on the couch. I knew exactly where to walk up to and then pause. As I walked the long pathway, my eyes were only on HIM. I continued my walk and took my stance, just opposite to where He was sitting on the couch – like a ‘King’, unperturbed and watching. I Smiled. THIS was MY moment !! This was what I had wanted right from the beginning ! This was what I sought for, since the time I got the call from IWC. As I took the U turn back, I felt so happy, I was thrilled and elated. I had got what I had come for !

On returning backstage, I heard my co-contestants discussing that Gurudev had not come for the event, and was watching the Live Webcast instead. I was shocked. It was simply unbelievable. This was just not true. I am a realist and do not get carried off by events or moments. I yet dare not say aloud what I had just encountered. What followed thereafter was a grand dinner, along with an auction for the gorgeous outfits, and wonderful and bonding time. I slept that night, knowing deep down that I could not be wrong, nor mistaken, nor dreaming about Gurudev’s presence right there before me. The following day, it was further confirmed that Guruji was not there the previous evening for the event.

I have read umpteen Miracle stories and heard how HE does incredible things. I know, HE KNEW THE RIGHT TIME TO BE THERE….For ME, IT WAS A CINDERELLA EVENING !!
