Sri Sri is my Savior

Jai Gurudev,

I would like to share one of my Guru stories with you all. This was when I went for a trip, with my husband, my daughter and one of our family friends, to Malaysia in October, 2009. I had purchased a new digital camera especially for the purpose of this trip, so that we could capture all the fun moments and cherish them in the years to come. For me, memories are extremely special, and what better way than a camera to capture such sweet memories.

Our first stop was at Genting highlands. As we went to the games zone, my husband was carrying the camera and clicking pictures of my daughter, as it was her first trip to any foreign country. We all were really excited and were busy enjoying the rides and taking loads of pictures. We did a lot of sight-seeing and truly explored a lot of new places. Late in the evening,we came back to our hotel,and suddenly we realized that our camera is not there. This was really disheartening for all of us, as the camera was the main element of the trip, with which we could relive all the lovely moments spent together. So we went back to all the places,and searched even with the CCTV footage, but couldn’t get any clue of our lost possession. By the end of it, we lost all our hope, as next day we had to make a move for Kualalumpur.

My husband was not a believer of AOL at that time. Next day, when we all were having our breakfast, our family friend suggested to us that we should say “Jai Gurudev” with full faith once, and then leave everything on the Master. So with a feeling of hope and faith in our heart, we all said JAI GURUDEV, together. Just after a few minutes, when we were heading towards our bus, suddenly, a man came in front of us and showed us a camera, asking if it belonged to us. We were stunned at this. That was our camera. We couldn’t believe that in a population of lakhs, this guy actually found us. He asked us to make him meet our daughter, so that he could match the pictures, for proof. And when he saw my daughter,he instantly handed the camera to me.

We just couldn’t believe our eyes. At that time, we all shouted in a chorus “JAI GURUDEV”. This was possible only because of Guru’s Grace. This incident really strengthened my faith in the Divine, as I could feel the presence of a Master in my life. I could feel that my prayers are truly being heard and answered.The biggest blessing was that we could save the pictures of our daughters’ first foreign trip, memories of which we will cherish for a lifetime.

HEARTY THANKS TO GURUDEV FOR BEING THERE WITH US, ALL THE TIME.
