Divine Experiences Happened in My Life…
Though I am not an expert spiritual writer, but some-how, I covers the features of spirituality, about our Holy Hindu Sanatana Dharma, and also about the significance of the great almighty. My aim is to make a better understanding on the almighty by the people, since due to our day to day troubles and turmoil, sometime or other, we may lose our faith on the great almighty! Similar to us, god also had faced sufferings in their life. The great Lord Shiva drank the Hala Hala poison in order to safeguard the entire universe from destruction. Likewise, the world’s richest god Venkateswara, who contains the entire aspect of Lord Vishnu, is a god of simplicity, since he himself has once led a very simple life, by living in a small hut of his foster mother Ma Vakulamalika, who was Ma Yashoda in her previous birth.
Hence, we must understand that sufferings are common both for us and also to the great almighty. Almighty is always mighty. He contains great powers, and through that, he controls the entire universe.
In order to make a better understanding, I am hereby given some of the important divine experiences faced by me in my life, on a point by point basis:
Few years ago, when a person who claims himself as a big spiritual personality and when he tried to enter into my home, I stopped him from doing so, due to the grace of the god, or otherwise I would have lost my precious life!
Though, I am an average student in studies, but, however due to the grace of the great almighty I am able to complete my M.Com., Degree and also pursued a Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administration as well as a Higher Diploma in Software Engineering.
Here I have to surely mention about my Divine Guru Sri Raghavendra Swamy, who acts as a saviour and he is present all over my body and soul and acts as a good guide, guru and also as my divine parent. Somehow, I am able to survive in this difficult world only through his grace, or otherwise I would have been collapsed and I might have died!
Once I donated Rs.150/- towards construction of a Silver Chariot in Ayanavaram Raghavendra Mutt, and when I have visited the Mutt on one fine Sunday, a strange person who was present there, who was unaware about my whereabouts and about my donation, keenly said, Hey Harishankar Sir, Go quickly and see the Silver Chariot for which you have donated Rs.150/-, and after I keenly observed the Silver Chariot, and when I thanked him for making me to go through the chariot, the person said, “I didn’t say anything to you, and now only I am seeing you, anyhow it all happens due to the grace of our Swamiji”, and after saying this, he suddenly disappeared from that place. I think that Guru Raghavendra might have appeared before me in the form of that stranger!
At present, though, I am not leading a happy life, yet, I am able to overcome from my difficulties, only because of the great almighty, who is present everywhere and anywhere and who dwells in my soul forever.
Though so far, I am not a successful person in leading my family life, yet, due to the grace of the god, I stays in a Retirement Home, who offers good hospitality services, and here I am able to taste the wonderful food offered by them, at a meagre rate. My mother is getting tired and weak day my day due to her old age complications, but still she is able to lead a comfortable life at this place. Still at this age of 54, I have the hope that sooner or later, I would be able to lead a good peaceful family life with full of support, and I am very much interested to lead a better family life, and for that I strongly rely on my Kula Devata Ma Angalamman, Erode!
I am not a person who frequently chants the Shiva or Vishnu Mantra, though I mentions it in all of my articles. But, for the past 25 years, I am chanting the Mantra, “OM SRI BHAKTA PRAHALADHAYA NAMAHA”, and “OM SRI GURU RAGHAVENDRAYA NAMAHA”.
When I lost my father before 21 years, the great almighty took his place, and leads me in the right path. Due to his grace, I am also able to do Spiritual Services like writing spiritual articles as well as doing some sort of small donations like donating food to the beggars, servant maids, security guards and to auto drivers.
Though I have not visited the holy places like Kasi, Rameswaram and Dwaraka, yet, I have the hope that in my future life, I would be able to do that! I am also very much interested to put some YouTube Spiritual Videos in future, and it all in the hands of the god!
I strongly rely on my Kula Devata Angalamman towards granting me a better future life. Though still now I am uncertain about that, yet, I have the faith, since only by keeping faith on the almighty, we would be able to somehow survive in this present life. Days may pass into weeks, months and years, yet, we should never lose our hope, since as per the famous proverb, ‘Only faith and devotion would bring great prosperity to us’.
Though I am not a bright person still today, yet, the great almighty has given lot of confidence to me, and he acts like a ‘Divine Guard’ in my life, since he only tells, ‘WHAT TO DO’, ‘HOW TO DO’, and ‘WHEN TO DO’ the things in my life. We should act as per the proverb, ‘Forget and Forgive’, show mercy even to your enemies, and even to those who attacks you!
Apart from worshipping the god, please worship Saints also, since they only act as a divine messenger between us and god. In fact, Saints are ready to do more and more, than that of god, since they act as a part and parcel in our life. Bury your worry by worshipping the divinity, be humble, don’t hurt anybody through your words, take care of our parents, let our tongue always chant the glory of the god, let our eyes sees the divine beauty of the deities, let our hands bows before the god, let our ears always listen to divine songs, let our legs march towards the temples, let our stomach be filled with the divine Prasad items, let our soul be fully filled up with spiritual energy, let us keep our entire body and soul cleanly, and let our entire body parts, keep worshipping towards the great almighty.
“OM”
