[By Shri Durgaprasad]
I am Durgaprasad. I would like to share few of my experiences today though there are several of such miracles. I am working as a scientist in a central government organisation since 1998. I have 2 very good devotees of Swami as my colleagues here - Shri Anil and Shri Surya. All of us regularly learn and discuss Swami’s knowledge.
Swami saved my job:
In first 2 years of my job, I worked with one great mathematician as part of my job. In year 2006, that mathematician floated a supercomputing project funded by Ratan Tata. In year 2007, that mathematician offered me a job with a huge salary package, as he knows me very well. Myself and my family members were very happy and I decided to leave my government job. Before putting my papers for resignation, I asked Swami whether to leave or not. I was thinking that Swami will encourage me. To my surprise, Swami discouraged me and explained me nicely the security in govt job. Immediately, I dropped my idea of quitting. My family members felt I took a foolish decision and losing a huge package. You don't believe, after 15 days, a news came in National newspapers that Tata closed that project due to delays in the project executed by that mathematician. Swami saved me from a disaster that was about happen. This is half of the miracle. Next half of miracle is of more intense in nature.
Foreign visits:
In those years, many moved to software sector using the experience gained as scientist in my organization. There used to be lot of foreign visits in software sectors. Similarly, few scientists from my office used to visit foreign countries on official visits. My relatives and family members used to ask me why am I not getting such opportunities of foreign visits from my office. As Shri Anil told last time, a foreign visit from our office is an honour as we represent our country in international forums. Only very seniors get such chances. Just after few days after the above miracle happened, our Head of division asked me to prepare an international project proposal, but to put my immediate senior as chief of project and myself as a member so that it would get a clearance from higherups. In such projects, a member may get utmost one chance and chief of project gets two chances of foreign visits in a span of 3 years. The project was approved and miraculously I was made as chief of that project. In that project, l attended not only those 3 meetings and an additional unexpected 4th meeting as well.
Swami's help in website development and maintenance:
I'm not an IT guy who can code for websites. But Swami gave me a complete guidance on coding for our website. Recently, website was migrated to a new server and no support was extended from service providers to solve the migration issues. Even website forums also did not provide solutions for such bugs. During this time, Swami gave me ideas, which appear to be random for me. But those ideas helped to solve website problems. Those ideas are not even available in any of the website forums. This clearly proves Swami can get his work done through anyone even if he is not related to that field.
I thank Swami for all His grace on me.
Paadanamasakaaram Swami.
