Background of this magical story: a desire sprouted…
The Maha Kumbh Mela took place from the 13th of January until the 26th of February. At first, going to the Maha Kumbh Mela was not my plan, nor was it my wish. I had no clue what it was about, and to be honest, when I got to know that it was a place where millions would gather, my mind rejected the idea. I am usually not so fond of extremely crowded places, so the idea of Kumbh Mela (ignorantly not knowing its immense blessing and benefits) didn’t appeal to me much. Later, when I learned more about it, a desire to go sprouted within me. Since I had other commitments, traveling to Prayagraj to attend the Kumbh Mela was not practical. Still, I would occasionally check the tickets and was struggling with the decision of whether to go or not.
Meanwhile, other obstacles occurred as well, so I gradually let go of my plan to travel to Prayagraj. During the Maha Kumbh Mela, I attended online satsangs with Mohanji on Zoom, and several times, Mohanji talked about the importance of the Maha Kumbh Mela (which only occurs once in 144 years) and spoke about the significance of taking a dip. Every time he mentioned it, it poked me within, and I would mentally tell him sadly how I wished I could take a dip, too. The desire to take a dip in the Ganges grew stronger within me each day, and I felt truly sad that I was not able to do so.
This chance would only come once in 144 years, so I felt helpless. Still, in the back of my mind, I kept the idea of traveling last minute to Prayagraj, even if it was just for a short stay. Then, in the meantime, I got a leg injury as well, so at this point, I completely let go of the whole idea. I accepted that it’s not in my karmic agenda to take a dip during the Maha Kumbh Mela. Instead, I cultivated gratitude for the possibility of being able to attend the online satsangs and experience the Maha Kumbh Mela from a distance through MhouseMedia’s wonderful videos and photos.
During one of the satsangs, Mohanji mentioned how one could take a dip for somebody who cannot come and how, as an effect, the person may feel lighter. I thought, “Wow, that is amazing!” Since I had this intense desire to take a dip, I thought, “Maybe I can ask someone to take a dip for me.” However, I didn’t want to bother anyone, so I brushed that idea aside at the same moment and forgot about it…
Mohanji always takes care
But Mohanji had other plans. He hears every thought, knows all our desires, and knows exactly what each one of us needs or doesn’t need, what to give or take, but also when to give or take something. He is truly always with us and takes care of us every moment! Some days–or maybe a week later–I unexpectedly received a message from dear Elham, a sweet Mai-Tri practitioner from LA, asking if I had asked someone to take a dip for me. I responded that I hadn’t, to which she replied that she would try to take a dip. It’s as if she had read my mind even though I had not spoken about it or spoken to her that week.
Synchronicity
A couple of days later, during the night (it was past midnight), out of the blue, I felt a very intense shift in energy: I felt so much peace, ease, calmness, more stillness of mind, and especially lightness and lots of love (funnily, this was a complete contrast to what I had felt and was going through that same day afternoon). It was a very soft and soothing energy. It felt like a Mai-Tri had been done (as I was thinking of this while narrating the experience, I saw 11:11—another confirmation). It literally felt like I was wrapped in a blanket of love in the lap of Divine Mother. I totally did not understand what was happening and couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that I suddenly felt like this. It was not just mere joy but a very tangible, different shift of energy. I fell asleep peacefully and slept like a baby, waking up with this lightness too. Again, when waking up, I was surprisingly thinking, “Huh, what happened? How am I feeling this way?”
When I opened my WhatsApp, I saw a message from Elham at 4:20 am, telling me that the dip had been done about 4 hours before. I calculated that she took the dip around 00:20 am in my country. This perfectly synchronized with how I suddenly felt last night out of the blue. Of course, I had no clue she had taken a dip, but the effect, exactly around that time, was very deeply felt! Now, it all made sense. I was speechless. Also, the feeling of being in the lap of Divine Mother made sense.
River Ganges is called a mother and has feminine qualities. Through Mohanji’s grace, I was able to “take a dip” in Mother’s love from a distance and feel her. Important to know that after this energy shift experience, I also noticed how the strong desire to go to Prayagraj to take a dip –not just mentally but even on a deeper level in the system– was fully gone. This was, for me, yet another indication that Mohanji fulfilled my desire completely. Not in the usual ways, but in his magical, unusual ways!
Why did I say that Mohanji also knows when to give us something? Because the timing of this dip was perfect. The day when the dip happened, I had been going through a very unpleasant situation during the daytime. It weighed heavily upon me and caused a lot of negative emotions. It was intense, and I felt that asking for a Mai-Tri would be a good idea. However, the Mai-Tri practitioners I am familiar with were all at Kumbh Mela, so instead of requesting a Mai-Tri session, I decided to go to a Shirdi Sai Baba temple. As I said, the midnight experience felt like an actual Mai-Tri itself–very healing and cleansing.
So, even though I ended up not requesting a Mai-Tri session that day, I still received the same effects through Mohanji’s grace. Exactly at the point when I needed it the most! In short, both my desires – to take a dip and my wish to get a Mai-Tri were completed in one go: a double blessing! That too from the comfort of my home without even traveling. How can we thank Mohanji for his magical ways?!
Key lessons
Sometimes we don’t get what we want, which could have numerous reasons. It could be a delay, a protection, or some other reason. Sometimes we get gifted with things we didn’t even imagine, or perhaps what we would not even deserve without his grace. What are my key learnings from this? All we need is faith and surrender to the Master. The Master always takes care of us.
Your faith can move mountains and your doubt can create them.
I am deeply grateful for Mohanji’s grace. My deep gratitude to dear Elham for her kindness in making this possible. Thank you, Mohanji!
