[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.
Rains stopped temporarily during my travel:
In Mumbai, during rainy season, rains will be continuous. Even if any break is given, we are not sure when it will start again. In fact, sometimes, it looks that the sky is fully clear and if we go out without umbrella it can rain immediately in no time and we will get drenched. Particularly, we have an experience here that during the time of going to office and returning from office, the rains are observed always. So, we always carry umbrella even while going for short distances during the rainy season. So, while going to office by bike, we have to wear rain coat and pants. It leads to suffocation and sweat inside. So, it is not liked many times to wear the rain coat and pants.
In such a situation in Mumbai, by Swami’s grace, in one of the rainy season, for full one season I experienced no rain while going to office and also during returning from office. It rained after I reached office in the morning and in the evening, it rained after I reached home. It is for full one season from June to September, not for one day or two. From next rainy season onwards, I started going in car not only for office but also even for short distances. I should not use the power of Swami unnecessarily like these trivial issues. I am extremely sorry Swami. Thank You Swami.
Presentation in National Conference:
Once, we wrote a technical paper and published it in a conference, held in Chennai. I was asked to present it in the conference. I started to prepare the presentation in Powerpoint one week before. I took nearly one week to prepare the presentation. That evening I am leaving for Chennai to attend the conference. So, as usual after the preparation of the presentation, I went to take tea along my colleague.
After returning from tea, I was just going through the presentation again, which I felt very clumsy with long write-ups. Then I started to make changes. This time, I showed mainly pictures, graphs with brief write-up in between. These whole changes happened in last half an hour. I felt I really wasted full one week and the same presentation was not at clear even to me to explain. This time in just half-an hour I finished off the whole presentation. It is sheerly because of the grace of Swami and His excellent ideas. I presented the same in the conference. In fact, to our astonishment, this presentation was selected as the best oral presentation in the conference and won a cash prize also. This is sheerly by the grace of Swami. Thank You Swami.
No pains even though ligament tear occurred in accident:
Recently, I met with an accident on Sion-Panvel highway. I was riding the bike along with my wife Smt. Bhagya on the backside. At the red signal, we stopped and when the green signal appeared, we started. But, because heavy traffic, vehicles were moving very close by. A state transport bus hit our vehicle from behind and I lost balance of the vehicle and we both fell on the ground. Last time, I only met with the accident when my wrist was fracture but did not experience any pain due to the grace of Swami. But, this time, we both were involved in the accident and so a doubt occurred in my mind, how will we manage if both have some fractures. But, by grace of Swami, Bhagya did not have any injury or fracture. I had a ligament tear in the right knee. But, there is absolutely no pain. In fact, with such ligament tear, I drove the vehicle back to the house as I can’t leave the vehicle on the highway filled with heavy traffic. Actually, Bhagya called on Shri Phani and he told that you drive the vehicle home.
After reaching home, I went to our casualty department for immediate medication, showed to doctor. He took X-ray and suspected ligament tear. But I had no pain. Next day, I showed to Orthopedic surgeon. The doctor was astonished when I told him that I have no pain. I told him that my guru told me that I will not have pain but I have to follow other formalities like visiting doctor, wearing knee cap, taking all precautions etc. Later on, I was sent for MRI also. MRI scan showed a huge ligament tear. By Swami’s grace, I did not get a pain even equal to that of cut of blade. The doctor did not believe me and seen MRI scan again and discussed with his senior doctor. Senior doctor told him that he has perfect ligament tear. All this is possible due to infinite kindness of Swami.
I am greatly indebted to Swami for protecting me at all times. I am greatly indebted to Him for giving me the highest post of His servant in the entire creation.
Swami please excuse me if there are any mistakes. Namaskaram Swami.
