A story of guidance and protection from the divine
I dedicate this blog to my eternal mother and father, Mohanji, whose compassion and love time and again make my soul realize that its ultimate goal is to merge into his divine consciousness – the highest and purest form of union, which is of the soul with the supreme soul. It may seem far-fetched to my logical mind, but this is what a soul at the deepest unknown level yearns for.
Writing testimonials and reading others’ testimonials is a sacred sadhana (spiritual practice) for me. Reading blogs has always purified my being, reinforcing my faith in the Tradition and Guru Mohanji. My gratitude to all the beautiful testimonials and more power to all the beautiful souls who don’t hesitate to pour their hearts out to express gratitude to Mohanji and have developed eyes to understand how he works.
Thus, in this testimonial, I would like to narrate how Mohanji brought light to my awareness regarding Sathya Sai Baba’s divinity, how Mohanji helped in the transition of my octogenarian grandparents’ souls while they were passing away, and the journey towards Consciousness Kriya. When I was reading the Power of Purity book for the first time in 2020, I saw an image of Sathya Sai Baba among pictures of other masters. I could not understand why this picture was among the Datta Tradition Masters. Without being judgmental, I set this thought aside with due respect.
Many months later, while on YouTube, I stumbled upon a video of a Sathya Sai devotee named Sai Shravanam. He was sharing his experience with Baba and also the anecdotes of being in the Master’s physical proximity. I started listening to it with respect and openness. It was intriguing to listen to his narration, and as the minutes passed by, my doubts about Baba’s divinity were getting erased.
When I was a teenager, I heard many negative things about Baba through mainstream media, and those narratives did not allow me to seek the truth regarding Baba’s divinity. Not only that, but my family members believed in all these things, which made my mind even more murky.
Miraculously, the day I saw this devotee’s experience sharing, that night itself, I had my first ever astral encounter with Sathya Sai Baba. In that dream, I also met Mohanji and narrated my encounter with Baba, to which he gently nodded as if he was aware of what had transpired between me and Baba. After waking up I got very sad over the separation of this divine encounter. It felt like the womb of the divine. Extremely safe and nourishing, energetically. This encounter had a deep impact on me, leaving me transformed.
One day, I dreamed of seeing Sathya Sai Baba placing something in my palm in a temple. After waking up, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t recollect what was given to me. The same day, in the evening, my mother was casually cleaning the cupboard. Lo and behold! A photo of Sathya Sai Baba along with Lord Dattatreya was found. It’s hard to find photos of Sathya Sai Baba in our house since we are devotees of Shirdi Sai Baba. My mother said that long ago, someone gifted this photo to my father. This serendipity was nothing short of a miracle. This showed me when we stick to our Guru with consistency and devotion, the entire Tradition starts to care for us and bless us. I have attached a photo here:
I will now narrate how Mohanji helped in the smooth transition when my grandparents were passing away. In December 2020, my maternal grandfather suffered a brief illness; hence, he was shifted to the ICU for a week. Naturally, my mother was very concerned. After hearing this news, I felt I should listen to Mahamrityunjaya Mantra in Mohanji’s voice. I kept listening to it. I had a vision after some time. I saw my grandpa lying in a hospital bed, and his subtle body was constantly moving in and out of his physical body as if his soul was deciding whether to continue with the current body or to move on. This vision hit me hard. I got a sign that was not pleasant to my logical mind.
But still, with some hope, I sent a udi packet in my mother’s hand since she was visiting him in the ICU in another city. As she came back home, I asked whether she managed to apply udi on his forehead or just keep it beneath his head. She replied that she had forgotten to give udi in the chaos. At that moment, I realized it was not just a packet of mere udi but that it truly carries the essence of Shirdi Sai Baba. I had to accept and respect Baba’s decision, which indicated that I should respectfully let the soul choose its onward journey. These signs prepared me enough to go through the passing away of my grandfather.
Due to some genuine reasons, I couldn’t attend the funeral of my grandfather. These thoughts and feelings plagued my mind. I prayed to Mohanji to help me overcome this guilt. After a couple of days, I had a vivid dream in which I saw my grandfather in a clean dress with a healthy body. I took his blessings, touching his feet. A few feet behind my grandfather, I saw Mohanji walking past, silently respecting my mourning and intimate time with my grandfather. This dream, to a great extent, reduced my pain. Not to mention, my grandfather had shared his dream in which he saw Gajanan Maharaj (a saint) vividly just a month ago before his passing away. Grace was tangible in his smooth transit as the dots got connected when I recollected this memory.
Two years after this incident, my paternal grandmother fell seriously ill due to age-related issues. My family members tried their best to tend to her needs. But her recovery seemed far-fetched. As the situation seemed worse, I prayed to Mohanji about her health. One fine day, I had a vivid dream. I saw Mohanji taking all of our family members in a four-wheeler to an ancient Datta temple. I also felt the subtle presence of Swami Samarth Maharaj in that vehicle. Mohanji alighted and asked my grandmother to step outside of the vehicle and have the darshan of Lord Dattatreya. She was wearing an elegant pink cotton saree. Mohanji also asked me to distribute prasad on the temple premises. After waking up, I couldn’t properly decode the meaning of this dream, so I left it to the universe to reveal its meaning with time. I also subtly feared her passing away, to which I got a strong message in my head saying, “You would get strength.”
Exactly after 15 days of this dream, my grandmother passed away peacefully. I did gain a lot of stability during her passing away, and my heart chakra felt protected; otherwise, grief and pain would have seeped into my system deeply. Credit goes to Mohanji. A couple of weeks after this incident, as I was doing a power of purity meditation, I went into a deep meditative state. In that, I felt the presence of my grandmother conveying a message to me, saying, “I am happy.” These were not just mere words; I could feel her state of happiness, which was satvik (very pure) and wasn’t dependent on external stimuli. When I contemplated on these 2 incidents later on, I could feel Mohanji exuding the energy of Rudra by liberating these aged ailing souls from this lifetime. Indeed, I have immense gratitude for Mohanji.
Consciousness Kriya training
Recently, all three of us, my mother, brother, and I, have been trained in CK. We each have our tiny anecdotes associated with this. First, my brother applied for CK in August 2023 and started waiting for the confirmation email. I waited until my heart guided me to apply for CK. I wanted to be patient and did not want to apply in a hurry, even though my mind was telling me otherwise.
One fine day, I got a nudge to apply for Kriya. Without further ado, I prepared myself and applied for it wholeheartedly in mid-December 2023. It almost took 4 hours to complete. Lo and behold! On December 23, on the auspicious day of Vaikunth Ekadashi, both of our applications were accepted! I immediately sensed the blessing and grace factor. Not to mention, exactly 2 days before the confirmation email, I had the opportunity to visit a powerful Lord Hanuman temple near our hometown on Thursday. A confirmation email came on Saturday. Divine orchestration was tangible.
Later, I became a bit worried about my mother’s Kriya application. I surrendered to Mohanji. Many days after, I had a dream in which Mohanji, in a white kurta, was sitting on the pavement in a random place, holding an application form in his hand, telling me to apply for it. This took me a couple of days to decode the message. Later, I realized Mohanji had asked me to apply for CK for my mother.
Since she is currently not tech-savvy and proficient in English, I was thinking about how to get all the questions answered by her. This task demanded patience and planning from my side. I explained each question to her in our native language and jotted down answers. With confidence and faith, I filled up the form for hours. Those hours felt like a sadhana for me. I was already experiencing divine energy as I was recollecting my mother’s spiritual journey.
That day, I visited a powerful Datta ashram where a great Datta Tradition Master lived. It’s even said that unless the Master calls a person, he can’t visit that place. The devotees perform aarati every day in a specific way, along with singing bhajans. To perform aarati, the devotee should enrol her name in the dairy maintained by the ashram. Aarati is performed only by women.
And women eagerly wait for their turn to perform aarati. That day it so happened that the lady who was about to come to perform the aarati was late by a few seconds hence my mother was picked to perform the aarati. Surprisingly, my mother had not enrolled her name. Grace was tangible. And I felt that her application would be accepted. She got the blessing prior, and after a couple of months, her application was accepted.
Now, I was a bit worried about the implementation part since I had heard that training would take several hours at a stretch and that the language would be in English. With full faith, I surrendered. Also, I conveyed my concerns regarding this to the Kriya coordinator. One fine day, we got a call from Nikunj Naredi. She kindly asked whether my mother would attend training, which will be conducted in Hindi.
I was super happy and asked my mother to cancel all the plans for the day and sit for the training session. Nikunj conducted training for only 2 people who needed Hindi and also mentioned that this is the first time Kriya training is being conducted in Hindi. We were feeling blessed for this.
Recently, on November 23, both my brother and I got trained in Kriya, which fell on the auspicious day. It was Sathya Sai Baba’s birthday. Mohanji Acharya Subhasree conducted this. At the end of the training, we all got confirmation and blessing from Mohanji that he was with each of the participants. This was shared by Subhasree Ji, who had personally texted Mohanji before the training was concluded. Now, all 3 of us are eagerly waiting for the initiation day.
