By Preeti Yadav, India
There are moments in life when what you once wrote in your diary as a silent dream or wish suddenly starts unfolding in reality — with awe, grace, and divine precision.
A few years ago, I had written something so simple yet so close to my heart:
“I wish to have a piece of land where I can have my home near Krishna’s abode in Vrindavan. A home filled with the divine music of Krishna bhajans, sung by devotees, day and night.”
At that time, I didn’t know how it would ever happen. Although I belong to Gurgaon, just a few hours away from Vrindavan, my life never aligned for me to visit this sacred land in my 43 years, despite my deep desire to be there.
But Krishna — in his leela — had other plans.
A Subtle Call from the Divine
Recently, I was directly invited by the divine to participate in Shadaadhaara Prathishta, a powerful three-day event being held near Barsana for the foundation of the Guruvayurappan (Lord Krishna) Temple in the divine presence of Mohanji.
The moment I heard about it, something shifted inside me — a deep pull as if my soul whispered,
“You got it!! You are meant to be there.”
I happened to be in Gurgaon around that time, and though the place is around 3 hours away, I felt hesitant to express my desire to attend to my family. Not because they wouldn’t understand — but because the words didn’t come. It was a deeply internal call.
So, instead, I returned to Bareilly, where I currently live with my husband and children. Yes, it was farther — about 6 hours away — but the desire within me was stronger than the distance.
A Quiet Prayer
It wasn’t easy for me to speak about my intention openly at home either, so on the 13th, I chose to send a gentle message to my husband late that evening:
“If you’re okay with it, I’d like to go for this event on the 16th and return on the 17th.”
Then I put my phone on flight mode and went to sleep.
That night, I had a beautiful dream — I saw myself with Mohanji. And not just that night, but in the nights that followed, too.
When I woke up in the morning and turned off flight mode, I saw his (my husband’s) reply: “Okay, go.”
Tears filled my eyes. My heart bloomed in silence. I can still feel it as I write this piece of experience.
When the Storm Tested My Devotion
On the morning of the 16th, I woke up at 3 am and was ready to leave by 5 am with my 8-year-old daughter Krishita. But the weather had other plans — there were thunderstorms and heavy rains. My heart sank for a moment.
I reached out to Mohanji, and he advised lovingly:
“Don’t travel in bad climate. But we shall meet soon at the historic landmark — a Lord Krishna temple at Nandgaon, near Barsana.”
His words grounded me.
I waited a little longer, not thinking of anything, just flowing with time, with a sense of calmness. No anxiety, no random thoughts, nothing. I was just doing what was required at that time. The rain, too, started settling down, and I asked the cab driver to come by 7 am. We started by 7:30 am; the skies cleared — a gentle sign. I boarded the cab with Krishita beside me, and we finally left.
A Return to Myself
As we were approaching Vrindavan, I started experiencing a sharp pain in my heart space — and a return of cervical pain I hadn’t felt in years (since stepping into my calling as a life coach, I felt as the purpose of my life). My body was responding to the shift in energy of the space.
I called Pooja Gandhi — she lovingly said everything was arranged and that I was welcome.
When I reached the Wingston Hotel, the hotel was serene, even though my heart was still racing. As if everything outside me was a movie, and I was watching it, not a part of it. And I could feel my heart was looking for that first sight of Mohanji. Generally, I feel uncomfortable with people; it’s not my cup of tea. I have a selective inner space that I don’t share with everyone.
I was guided to have lunch — and during that moment, Mohanji walked in. He embraced me.
And in that one hug — it felt like I returned home. I felt like I belonged. The alignment, the centring — as if my soul had been recalibrated.
Empowered Weekly Session
After lunch, we attended Mohanji’s satsang, where he introduced the “Split Your Mind” technique.
I had previously done this process online through the Empowered programs, but I always wished to experience it in his physical presence.
That wish — quietly tucked away — manifested that day.
Here, I realised how the emotions which were developed due to others are active, but the ones I gave birth to were settled. And I felt that those, too, were taken care of and will be taken care of. I was just observing — attached yet detached from self. The stillness of the Consciousness pulled me, and Mohanji’s voice went deep into me, keeping me calm even when those emotions tried to take over my awareness.
There was a feeling of safety and freedom that stayed with me. I simply became an observer — becoming aware, accepting, pausing, and moving to action, and all this happened without any conscious effort.
A sense of courage and confidence took birth — because, for the first time, I took the decision to step out alone, with just my daughter, to visit Radha Rani Temple.
Being an extreme introvert who often feels resistance in social spaces or going out alone — this moment was a silent breakthrough. I didn’t seek company, validation, or permission. I simply moved with trust.
The Grace of Radha Rani
The climb to Radha Rani’s temple was steep but joyful. A shopkeeper — ready to leave for Govardhan — reopened his stall just for us. He offered a beautiful thali and prasadam. He did not ask the price; he just prepared the thali beautifully, decorating it with all the materials.
The temple was crowded, yet we reached the priest with ease. He offered our thali and returned it with a lotus flower. Moments later, Krishita joined me, and the priest, seeing her, lovingly gave her another flower.
In that moment — I knew we were invited, seen, truly seen, appreciated, accepted and embraced. We took a few pictures (again, not Me Types)
Purification by Fire, Blessed by Rain
The next morning, we arrived early at the Guruvayurappan Temple site. The yagna began — intense and sacred.
I was asked to shift thrice, and eventually, I was guided to sit right in the front row, very close to the sacred fire. The heat was immense. But I chose to see it as an inner purification.
I closed my eyes, and a thought seeped in: “Let this fire burn away all that no longer serves me.”
And just as the priests concluded the ceremony, it rained. It wasn’t just a miracle — it was a divine orchestration—a celestial reassurance.
Throughout the visit, the closeness to the Master raised my frequency. You become a manifest or — not in the worldly, controlling sense — but in the most natural way. It flows through you. No need to manipulate thoughts. It just happens.
When Every Wish Aligns
After breakfast, the event drew to a close. Most guests left, except the core team and a few of us who stayed to absorb the stillness.
While returning to Bareilly, the day became hot again. Silently, a thought came, “Let it rain once more…”
And it did. Again. In that moment, it hit me:
The home I once dreamed of — is now being built by Mohanji. The retreat I desired — found me in this form. The temple foundation, the satsangs, the rituals, the darshans, the blessings — everything aligned.
My Heart Overflows
This was more than a trip. It was a soul remembering. A sacred homecoming.
And I bow in deepest gratitude to Mohanji, Radhe-Krishna, my beloved family, my ever-supportive daughter, our kind cab driver, and the entire organising team — especially Pooja Gandhi, Sangeeth and family, Mamu, Subhashree, Madhu, Thea, Vishnu, Mimansa, Murali, Prathibha Di, the hotel staff — and every single soul who held space for this miracle.
When You Remember Your Soul-Worth….
The Universe remembers your dreams.
And that’s when life becomes a prayer in motion.
That’s when Krishna walks beside you — without a murmur, without a sound — but with complete presence.
Radhe Radhe!
