On Wednesday, the 1st
October, 2003 ‘Raju Dhanawade’ the artist, was painting and
superimposing on Shree Swāmi’s picture to make Him look like "Aadimāyā" (Benevolent Goddess
or Devi form wearing a female garb) for "Navaratri" festival. (A
festival to glorify Goddess "Durga" and to praise her, worship her for
nine continuous days). At that time, once again, Vibhūti started
to come out of the picture. Immediately after this, innumerable
‘OM’s’ (Auspicious letters) appeared on the photograph. We had
decided not to decorate and clutter the picture by flower garlands, so
that the devotees who came to our house the next day (i.e. on Thursday)
would be able to see Shree Swāmi decorated as "Aadimāyā" clearly. Next
day not a single devotee got garlands for Shree Swāmi’s picture, as if
to say, ‘Shree Swāmi’ heard us and agreed with our thought-process and
revalidated the plan, no one got a single garland. Normally this never
happens. Isn’t this ‘Shree Swāmi’s magic?
On Thursday the 16th October 2003, entire Poona City’s electric Power Supply failed. Since it was a Thursday many devotees had come to visit, but with 'Shree Swāmi's' grace only ‘Shree Swāmi’ Prāsād’ (our house) had electricity. When entire ‘Poona City’ was engulfed in darkness only our house had electricity supply. To make readers understand the gravity of the situation, I would like to mention that even our immediate next-door neighbor did not have electricity supply and hence could not switch on lights, but only ‘Shree Swāmi’s Darbār’s and our home lights were working. After 'Shree Swāmi Māuli' showed us this great miracle, there was nothing left for us to understand in this life. THIS WAS THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE. I had no identity left. I surrendered to 'Shree Swāmi'. All this only 'Shree Swāmi Maharaj' controls and He makes things happen. We do not want anyone to unduly praise us. My family members and myself are NOTHING. ONE and only Shree Swāmi is the Doer. He is Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient. He comes running for his devotee’s help. Please love him and devote yourself to him. Do Bhakti. Your faith will be revalidated, and your prayers will be heard. Please experience it. On Thursday, many devotees who long for Him, come to visit us eagerly and happily but leave our house with a heavy heart. |
