Sri Sri my Saviour…

Last year I went to Ashram for Winter Break (YES+ Advance) with Bawa and Dinesh Bhaiya. I started my journey from Delhi with 25 friends and we enjoyed this to the fullest. I can say it was my best journey so far. We enjoyed each moment and did our sadhna (meditation) in the train; sang bhajans (divine songs in praise of the lord) and it was pure Satvik Masti (divine enjoyment). I hoped that those would be the best days of my life and I would visit all around the ashram and a lot more stuff I had planned. But as my Guru is so magical and it has been said that whoever comes first time to the ashram, there is always a surprise for him (I was not aware about it at that point of time). As we reached Bangalore, on the night of 26th December at the Railway station and the bus was late by one hour. We were so happy, so we started to dance on one song and suddenly my leg slipped and I had a jerk in my leg and it started to pain soon. One of my friends quickly gave me pain relief and it somehow was in the tolerable range.

Then I reached the ashram, sorted my housing and went to the room. Next day there was immense pain in my leg and I was not able to move a single inch from my position. Soon my roommate took me to the dispensary and the Doctor said it needed an X-Ray test. I was in a laughing mode, as I was quite sure that it was a general ankle twist in the leg, and nothing more than that. But as it was the doctor’s advice so I had to go to X-Ray center. Thus I went to the Ayurveda hospital, took an X-ray and the result was that which I never thought of. It was a fracture in my leg and in a sad mode I said, “Guruji, what has happened to me?” and Guruji replied as though saying, “Life always revolves around God’s wish not on your own route.”Then the Doctor gave me an order for plaster and I was in the whole process like a dumb person and thought in my mind that “anyhow I have to do the advance course, come what may!” I said to the Doctor, “I have to do the course” and Doctor replied, “You have to come after 3 days here and change the plaster.” It was away from the Ashram and course was in Silence so I could not go there but I said, “I will come” and returned back to the ashram.

I was not sure as to how I would complete my course but soon Guruji managed everything. I got a wheel chair and all arrangements like housing near Vishalakshi, taxi early in the morning from Aparna. My friend used to come with food for me and I enjoyed each moment of course. I used to enter the Vishalakshi Mantap at 6am and leave around 11pm at night for 5 days. It was like sitting in Guruji’s lap, as it is Guruji’s most favorite place. I never thought I would complete the course. But because of Gurujis blessings and my faith in Him I feel free, and am celebrating my life.  I went to the hospital after 5 days and changed my plaster. The doctor was so happy and said that after all I had completed my course. I had a contented smile on my face, he got his answer, and lastly my plaster was cut soon within 4 weeks.

Thanks and love you Guruji so much.
