[By Shri Suryanarayana]
With the salutations at the lotus feet of Swami, I would like to share my experiences with my contemporary human incarnation of Lord Datta i.e., His Holiness Shri Datta Swami.
I met Swami in January, 2000 for the first time in Shri Ajay garu’s house in Vijayawada. From then onwards, I had witnessed innumerable experiences. In fact, I daily experience Swami’s kindness on me in one form or the other in my daily life.
First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratefulness to Swami because of the three most important things given to me i.e., human birth, marvelous true spiritual knowledge, allowing me to serve Him. In fact, even in the worldly life also, I am blessed with an excellent job even though my academics are just ordinary. This is also an experience of Swami, who is God Himself even though it happened prior to meeting Swami. It means Swami was protecting me even before meeting Him.
Granting a Child
Before meeting Swami, I was going through Guru Charitra. That time, I was not having child. I visited Swami in January, 2000 as mentioned earlier. Shastras say that the darshan of Mahatmas burn the sins. After the divine darshan of Swami, my wife (Bhagya) is conceived and later on delivered a baby boy. In fact, here that Mahatma happened to be incarnation of God Datta Swami Himself.
During the carriage of child, I felt that if she is sent to her parents’ place, it will benefit the child right from the womb of the mother because of the divine atmosphere due to Swami, His bhajans and His knowledge etc. With this intent, I sent her to her parents’ place. Swami fulfilled my wish by visiting my in-laws place regularly throughout the period of her pregnancy. The original intention in my mind was never conveyed to Swami but Swami fulfilled my desire. In fact, Swami continued His grace even after delivery also, which is an extra bonus given by Him.
During the time of delivery also, she faced a very serious problem. The child drank the womb water and was suffering with breathing problem. By Swami’s grace, this was also overcome with ease.
She underwent Caesarean operation during the delivery of the child. Swami went to hospital next day to see Bhagya and child. There Swami asked her whether she has any post-operational pains. From the next moment onwards, she was not having any pains and felt normal.
Saving my Life in the Accident
Once I went to Vijayawada to meet Swami. Swami was walking on the terrace of my in-law’s house in the evening. Meanwhile, Phani ji also came there. Swami in between His walking told Phani ji that Surya’s horoscope is not well and shortly will get difficulties. Swami also told that anyway there is nothing to worry. After this incident, I returned to Mumbai.
After reaching here, one day, I was driving my scooter on Sion-Panvel highway in Mumbai. I have to take left turn to go to ration office but I missed it and went over the immediate flyover. Then I have no other choice but to take U turn and come back. I was about to take U turn to return, but I found traffic police standing there. Then I felt that I might be fined by the traffic police if I take U turn there since there was no U turn there. I got tensed to be on the vehicle in the center of the road as fast going cars are seen on both sides. I lost balance and in a big confusion, I tried to take left turn from fast lane itself without seeing behind. But to my surprise, scooter suddenly stopped. At the same moment, a very fast-moving car just passed by me. Had the scooter not stopped, I would have been hit by that car and it would have been a catastrophic accident with death.
No Pains In spite of Wrist Fracture
After that, I waited for few seconds and tried to enter left lane to avoid the buzz of speeding cars. Almost I reached left extreme of the road when another biker hit me from the side. With the help of a lory driver, I went to hospital from the accident place and showed to the doctor. He took X-ray and told that your wrist is fractured very badly. The bone of the wrist became powder. But I absolutely did not have even an iota of pain. Doctor was astonished when I told him I have no pain. Later, I underwent operation with bone grafting and now the wrist has become normal by the grace of Swami. By Swami’s grace, that catastrophic accident with death reduced to a minor wrist fracture with no pain. At the same time, Shri Anil called Swami to convey Him about the accident. But, that time Swami was already suffering with lot of pain. It definitely means, He has taken my pain and suffered on my behalf. At the same time, I am relieved of such great pain. This shows His extreme kindness towards His devotees.
Omniscience of Swami
Allaying fear of Terrorist attacks
Once, I planned to travel to my home town to attend the operation of my father. Accordingly, I booked the train tickets. The train leaves from CST, Mumbai. Then, all of a sudden Mumbai terrorist attacks (26/11) occurred. My plan is to leave on 27th by train starting from CST. My colleagues here suggested it is very risky. Then I called Swami and asked Him whether I should start or not. Swami told me to proceed. I boarded a local train to reach CST. Before the local train reaches CST, all most all passengers got down in the prior stations. But, I got down from local train in CST and hardly found anybody on the station other than few police officers with normal guns. I have to walk a long way from local station to main line trains. Because of the word of Swami, I walked and boarded my main line train. Even in that train very very few people were there. Without the word of Swami, it is just impossible to board the train because there were doubts that by chance any terrorist is still in hiding on the platform in some corner or in the trains parked there. Nobody is sure. I express my sincere thanks to Swami.
In fact, there are plenty more experiences. Now, I shared a very few experiences here. Swami please excuse me if there are any mistakes.
