by Ranjith Palassery, Saudi Arabia
My spiritual journey from doubt to devotion.
I went through several difficult situations in my life. In 2022, during one of my visits to a Shirdi Sai Baba temple in Dubai, a friend—whom I knew to be spiritually advanced—introduced me to the name “Mohanji” for the first time. While I felt a deep sense of calm in Baba’s presence at the temple, the challenges in my life weighed heavily on me. Despite the temple being just a short walk from my room, I stopped going. Caught up in negative feelings and depression, I didn’t seek out more about Mohanji or take any steps to change my situation, and I continued to struggle with my sadness.
During my time in Dubai, my friend taught me a visualization technique that surprisingly worked wonders for me. I felt its effects as I transitioned to Saudi Arabia; it was as if the visualization itself was guiding me along my path. However, I became curious about other spiritual practices, like mantra sadhana. I explored countless YouTube videos, but to my disappointment, most of them felt fake or insincere. Whenever I approached them with a scientific mindset, it became clear that much of the content was staged or recreated, as channels like “Tricks,” etc., would often reveal.
Still searching for answers, I spoke to my friend again about the chakras and my persistent back pain—something related to anxiety that doctors had been unable to cure for nearly a decade. The pain was particularly intriguing to me because in many images I saw online, the chakras were located along the spine, and it may be the misalignment causing the pain (It’s just a doubt of a confused mind). My friend suggested I start chanting “Om Namah Shivaya” 108 times daily, saying this might align my chakras and help me feel better.
So, I began my practice. Day by day, I felt a subtle change, a calmness slowly seeping into my life. After 27 days of chanting, I came across a YouTube channel called “Bharatha Darshanam.” At that time, I had no idea who owned the channel. Intrigued by its content, I asked to be added to any spiritual discussion group they had. To my delight, they welcomed me into the Mohanji Kerala Family group. (This happened on July 8, 2024)
After joining the “Mohanji Kerala Family” group, I encountered some incredible people who radiated positivity in abundance. I had the opportunity to connect with five truly remarkable individuals who felt like they were speaking nothing but the truth. Their words were sincere, their guidance immediate—sometimes, even before I could process my own doubts, their answers would arrive. Despite their busy lives, they always responded to my messages with warmth and clarity, often within seconds of reading them.
What truly amazed me was their language, energy, and overwhelming sense of positivity. I felt embraced by a genuine family—a family that lived up to the name “Mohanji Family Kerala.” They made me feel like I belonged, offering care, support, and understanding without expecting anything in return. This unconditional love and selflessness were beyond anything I had experienced, even within my own family!
It left me in awe. How could human beings embody such pure positivity and compassion? And then, it dawned on me—the source of their power is Mohanji. I realized that it was his energy, his teachings, and his presence that had transformed them into such extraordinary souls. In that moment, I felt blessed to be part of this beautiful spiritual family, a family that welcomed me with open hearts and uplifted my spirit in ways I could never have imagined.
After joining the “Mohanji Kerala Family” group, I felt compelled to share my long-standing struggle with anxiety and the back pain that has plagued me for over a decade. Whenever I faced a stressful situation, I would feel a painful, hammering sensation in my lower spine. I consulted four of the best doctors, and each one advised me to control my anxiety and meditate.
I am generally happy at my current company, but certain situations were challenging. One manager (he is like Durvassavu Maharshi to me, significant and dangerous), whom I admire deeply, was straightforward and direct, which made me anxious during meetings. I would feel my back pain intensify, and, in those moments, I could barely speak, feeling like I had lost my voice. Despite my hard work and many achievements, I felt like a fool in front of senior managers. I felt sadness and depression, and my world seemed filled with negativity.
Feeling lost, I decided to share my pain with three members of the Mohanji Kerala Family. One of them immediately connected me with the best doctors. Another took my photograph and informed Mohanji about my situation, seeking his blessings. The third person guided me to connect with the Mai-Tri team for deeper healing. But even before anyone could take further action, Mohanji responded.
On September 1, 2024, at exactly 7:20 am, I felt something happening in my spine, and my spine became strong and pain-free. I knew this healing was real when, even though I had a stressful job to handle that day, the pain didn’t come back even though I was anxious. I was amazed and deeply grateful to Mohanji for this incredible change!
Amazingly, around the same time, I heard the manager whose presence made me so anxious had been offered a new job and was moving on from our company. We would miss him because of his honesty and straightforwardness, but I realized that I no longer had any reason to feel anxious or fearful. This news was confirmed on September 3, just two days after my healing!
With my back pain gone, I felt lighter, happier, and more confident than ever before. I started having meaningful discussions with many of my colleagues, something I had avoided earlier. One engineer even shared his future business plans with me and asked for my support! I noticed everything shifting towards positivity—problems in my working time (troubleshooting issues in my work environment) that I thought would take hours to solve were being resolved in minutes. I felt a new sense of wonder and clarity in everything I did!
One morning, I experienced a small but meaningful miracle that showed me the love of my Guru. The night before, I was listening to meditation videos that made me feel calm, and I fell asleep quickly. I slept so deeply that I forgot to set an alarm on my phone. I woke up late and realized I had missed the bus. Thankfully, someone had told the driver I was coming, and he waited for me about 150 meters from my camp.
I ran as fast as I could to catch the bus and, by the time I got on, I was very thirsty. As the bus went over a bumpy road (camp road, mud road to the main road), it shook, and at that moment, an unopened water bottle fell right in front of me. I was amazed—how could this happen? I realized it wasn’t just a coincidence; it was Mohanji’s love and care, helping me even in small ways. It showed me that Mohanji’s grace is always there, even in the simplest moments. Now, I hope Mohanji will guide me in living my life in the most fulfilling and meaningful way possible.
I realized that all this is the power of Mohanji at work, transforming my life in ways I had never imagined. With Mohanji’s blessings, I have dedicated myself to doing as much charity work as possible, knowing that every benefit I receive in life will be given to Ammucare and helping others.
This is my heartfelt promise to Mohanji. I am grateful to know that Mohanji’s grace has healed me and changed my life forever.
Narration from Surya Sujan, Kerala
While chatting with Mohanji on Thursday night, as I always do, I mentioned this person (Ranjith) to Mohanji. Ranjith’s eyes in his profile picture indicated a high level of depression, and his voice while speaking was very feeble. I shared with Mohanji that he has severe pain in his backbone when having anxiety attacks. Mohanji mentioned that he has some blockages.
On Friday morning, I got a message from Mohanji that the blockages would be removed soon and that he wouldn’t have to worry. He also mentioned that Ranjith should offer Sai Baba a coconut and annadaan to Monks and old age homes. I conveyed this to Ranjith. At that time, around 7:00 am, he felt an electric shock passing through him, which he texted. Later, in the next 2/3 days, he had presentations and meetings, which went well and were appreciated by his manager. This is how Mohanji worked in the background and relieved him of years of pain and anxiety.
