When life met grace: My first meeting with Mohanji
In August 2021, during a satsang in Finland, I had the life-changing opportunity to meet Mohanji for the first time. Unlike my husband, who was already connected to Mohanji through regular meditations, I had little awareness or connection at that time. To me, Mohanji was just another person. However, this meeting was destined to alter the course of my life deeply.
The moment my soul recognized its guide
The moment I saw Mohanji, something within me began to change. This experience, known as “Guru darshan,” marked the beginning of my spiritual awakening. In Mohanji, I recognized the essence of Shirdi Sai Baba and felt that he was the Supreme Divine incarnate. It was as if Sai Baba himself had blessed me at the perfect moment in my life. I felt like a child embraced by a loving parent, overwhelmed with joy and gratitude.
The divine timing of my transformation
Shortly after this transformative encounter, the Mohanji Foundation announced the commencement of the Empowered Program. The timing felt almost magical as if the program had been designed exclusively for me just days after my transformation through Mohanji’s darshan. With the blessings of the Datta Tradition, I embarked on a series of Empowered programs, navigating the ups and downs of life.
Transforming through empowerment
Participating in the Empowered programs has been a transformative journey of self-discovery and inner cleansing. Each session peeled away layers of negative emotions, revealing a new version of myself. In Serbia, during Empowered 5, I dove deep into silence, enhancing my energy awareness and cultivating kindness and compassion. An intense desire to live a purposeful life blossomed within me, with Mohanji’s teachings becoming the backbone of my existence.
A divine visit: Mohanji’s blessings in our home
During Mohanji’s visit to Finland, he also blessed us by visiting our home. This was our greatest blessing, a reassurance that he would hold us and accompany us throughout our journey.
Mohanji’s light in my darkest moments
Mohanji’s guidance prepared me for life’s most challenging moments, including the passing of my husband, Saravanan, on April 29, 2024. I still remember once telling Mohanji that I wished to die before Saravanan because I didn’t think I could ever accept his passing. Yet, on the day Saravanan left his body, something miraculous happened. I was in total acceptance. Mohanji had also prepared me for this through multiple experiences.
Holding on to grace in life’s final moments
During Saravanan’s transition, I felt completely held by Mohanji’s energy. I reminded Saravanan to visualize Sai Baba, Mohanji, or any divine figure he wished to focus on, and I asked him to hold my hands as though it was Mohanji himself holding him. I ensured he had a smooth and peaceful transit, constantly chanting loudly in the hospital room. Mohanji gave me the strength to be stable and composed, and I realized I was simply an instrument through which he worked. Mohanji provided stability and peace to both Saravanan and me during this deeply emotional moment.
Discovering love amidst despair
When I felt I had lost the love of my life, I was engulfed in despair. Yet, in Finland, I was approached by many people who offered their love and support. This made me realize that love is always present, surrounding me in various forms. The care I had shown Saravanan manifested in the kindness of others, filling my heart with gratitude.
Even in my darkest hour, Mohanji provided constant guidance. He gave me the strength to return to Finland with my child, Dhoni, and offered us unwavering support as we navigated life without Saravanan. I literally feel that I am in the grip of Mohanji’s hold; it keeps me active and engaged rather than falling into despair. I am strong because of him, stable because of him, happy because of him, peaceful because of him, and above all, alive because of him. His guidance is a constant source of strength.
Empowered to share and serve
Despite my initial hesitation to stand before an audience, Mohanji’s grace empowered me to lead yoga and meditation sessions in my local community in Finland. His blessings gave me the courage to step out of my comfort zone and share the transformative practices that have enriched my life. While I charge a nominal fee for these sessions, a portion of the proceeds is lovingly contributed to the Sai Baba Temple in Finland to support their annadaan (food donation) initiatives. This has become a way for me to express gratitude and extend Mohanji’s teachings of love and selflessness.
Mohanji continues to hold and guide me through life’s ups and downs. His teachings are my anchor, and his blessings give me strength, stability, and peace as I navigate this journey. I feel immense gratitude for his presence in my life. I design creative posts under the name Light from Mohanji, sharing his teachings to reach diverse audiences.
Additionally, I am a dedicated volunteer within the Mohanji platform, working with different teams. Also, I got the beautiful opportunity to support the social media design team of Sai Baba Temple of Finland. Sai Baba and Mohanji have truly given light to my soul, guiding me toward a more meaningful existence. I strongly believe that my child Dhoni and I are being taken care of by Mohanji and the Guru Tatwa.
The keys to peace: faith, acceptance, and surrender
I am immensely grateful to the people of our Mohanji family for their unwavering support. Above all, I am filled with love and gratitude towards Mohanji, whose blessings enabled me to participate in all the Empowered programs and embark on this incredible journey of self-realization and spiritual growth.
Although life was a roller coaster, with a mixture of different flavors of experiences, my approach to challenges has shifted dramatically. Pain persists, but I have learned to remind myself not to suffer. Faith, acceptance, and surrender are the keys! Mohanji’s teachings have always been my guiding light. The compassion and support from our Mohanji family, pure channels of his energy, continue to nurture my transformed self, leading me toward the Supreme Light.
