In His Divine Presence

Sonya Gupta, March 2024
I had heard of Guruji in July 2023, but couldn't relate to Him. In September I went from Canada, where I live, to India to see my father, who was very sick. My mother talked about Guruji to me, and I was curious to know more about Him. I began watching YouTube channels that featured Him. I placed my faith in the truism that Guruji would direct us to Him at the right time. Having returned from India, one day I had a vivid darshan of Guruji in my dream. He told me to attend a satsang.

Soon I came in touch with a friend who is a devotee, and she promised to include me in a social media channel related to Guruji. But it didn't happen. Two months later, I went to an acquaintance's house and was fortunate to find a devotee talking about Guruji. She invited me to a satsang, too. With Guruji's blessing I could do so and felt happy and content. I attended a second satsang and there smelt His divine fragrance. I was wont to pass it off as perfume, but I closed my eyes and sniffed again–roses! It was an indicator of Guruji's divine presence.

Sometime later, my intuition told me that I was not doing shukrana to Guruji. And then I came to know that sharing my satsang means showing my indebtedness and gratitude to Guruji.

Anantam shukrana, Guruji. Thank you for showing me the path to your darbar.
