Guruji has always given me more than what I asked for. Before I can thank Him for one thing, He gives me a thousand other reasons for being grateful. He blessed me with a high percentage, 92.2%, in the Class 12
th board examinations and with a good percentile in the JEE Main paper. Thanks to Him, I got admission in the B. Tech course (for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science) in Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Delhi. And new clothes to wear to college.
Guruji also blessed me with His
darshan on the morning of 31
st July 2024, when I was very emotional. I was crying in front of Him and wished to hug Him. I closed my eyes as I cried and imagined hugging His
swaroop. At that very moment, I saw that Guruji was really present and I was hugging Him tightly. Guruji repeatedly asked me to relax my hold ("
Kamliye chadd menu, chadd menu"), but I didn't leave Him until He had kept His hand on my head. I can never thank Him enough for blessing me.
There was more to come. We had listened to a
satsang which indicated that Guruji would visit our house on Thursday (
Guruvar) along with His
sangat. And indeed Guruji came to our home! That day, we were doing a small satsang at home when I noticed a patch of water on a wall. It turned into the imprint of Guruji's Lotus Feet. Soon, Ma Lakshmi's Lotus Feet and a petite image of Lord Ganesha's
vahan (vehicle or mount),
Mushak Raj, could be seen on the wall. My mother noticed Shivji and Parvati Ma's Lotus Feet on the same patch of water. She also noticed
Shiv Ganas (attendants) and the blessed mouse. I can't express how blessed my family and I were feeling.
A day later, it was Shivratri, and He blessed us again. We saw an Aum and 'Ram' on the same patch of water. I also saw the image of a peacock. I went to a mandir in the morning and offered
jal to the Shivlinga. I could also make a beautiful
rangoli of Lakshmi Ma's Lotus Feet, a
swastik, Aum and Ek Onkar with flowers. It was all His grace.
On August 3, I planned to go to the market to buy necessary items, such as a lunch box and a water bottle. I was feeling ill, but He made me well in a few minutes. And His grace was with me during the market visit. I could get everything at an affordable price.
Guruji told me through a satsang that "
walk sabse changi cheez hai" (walking is the best exercise), but due to excessive humidity here I cannot go for morning walks and I also find it hard to get up in the morning. I apologise to Him. Guruji has given me the
sewa of cleaning up the house and the washrooms–which I am able to do because of His mercy.
I need Guruji's blessings all the time. I am nothing without His guidance and blessings. He knows how much I am struggling with my syllabus, which is vast and hard. I have full faith that since He has chosen this course for me I will be able to complete it successfully. Yet I find it difficult to fulfil the demands being made on my time. Guruji had inspired me to read about the life of the eighth Sikh Guru, Shri Har Krishan Sahib-ji. I had also started reading the
Shiva Puran and
Ram Charita Manas, but now I cannot find the time. I need His help to set a schedule that works. I am also distressed at the thought of being unable to help my mother, who is already bearing the family's burdens. I pray to Guruji to help her and guide me so that I can manage everything.
Thank you so much, Guruji, for providing me not only what I asked for but often even more than what I asked for. Please bless me always and take care of all things. I will always remain your younger daughter. Lots of love, Guruji!
