Namaskaram Swami,
With my salutations at the lotus feet of Shri Datta Swami, I would like to share my three miraculous experiences given by Swami. In all these experiences, Swami protected me from loss of money or treasure. Since I don’t have words to thank Swami, I would like to quote one of the verses written by “Shri Annamayya”. He says, “Kachitivi Attittanaka…” in Telugu. Like Annamayya said, Swami protected me in every situation where I was in trouble or faced any difficulty without any limitations, hesitations, or conditions. I will present all of these experiences one by one below.
Miracle 1
This miracle happened after my wife got cerebral hemorrhage and Swami protected her from death. During that time, Swami asked us to vacate our apartment and shift to a house nearby Tatagaru’s (C B K Murthy) house in Krishnalanka (in Vijayawada). He asked us to do so because my wife was not well, and my parents were also not there. Therefore, being nearby Tatagaru’s house will be helpful. By the grace of Swamiji, I was able to get a house just opposite to Tatagaru’s house. On an auspicious date as suggested by Swami, we shifted only the essential items to the new house thinking that the remaining items can be shifted later. Since we already moved the essentials into the new house, I delayed shifting my other belongings for about 20 days.
One day, Swami came to our house in the morning and shouted at me as follows, “Are you going to shift your belongings from your old house or not? You just shifted few things and left all other things in your old house. If you want to shift, you must do it immediately.” Since Swami told me seriously, I decided to shift all of my belongings on the same day itself with the help of Shri Sharma garu. After we were done, we realized that there was a robbery in that apartment on the same day! Four houses which were locked were robbed and one of them was my house! They first entered my house and found nothing. Then, they went to other houses and robbed all of the gold and other valuables. As per Swami’s suggestion, we already shifted everything to our new house, or else we would have lost all our valuables.
After all this happened, I narrated the entire story to Swami. As I finished explaining everything, Swami said the following words, “This is the reason I asked you to vacate your apartment immediately. It was becoming difficult for me to safeguard your house at nighttime because there is no security there. I have been awake all these days safeguarding your house.” In this manner, Swami protected me from suffering a huge loss by protecting my house with His infinite kindness.
Miracle 2
This miracle happened when Phani ji and I went to an institutional investor. I was carrying a bag consisting of 350 grams of gold given by my office, which was to be distributed to various agents who won them as prizes. When we went there, all the people whom we were supposed to meet were busy in a meeting and we were asked to wait until the meeting was over. Instead of waiting there, we thought of having tea at a tea stall right across that institution. As we finished our tea, I received a call confirming that the meeting was over. I was also advised to go to the institution immediately before the agents left.
In the hurry to meet the investors, I forgot to take the bag and went inside. We were in the meeting with all the investors for about 30 minutes and came out. As we came out, I asked Phani ji if we brought anything along with us. Phani ji said that there should have been a bag with us. As soon as I realized that I forgot the bag outside, I felt very afraid. The only hope then was Swami. Since I am not even in a position to pay back the money if I lose that gold, I prayed to Swami to please help me find it. We both went back to that same place where we sat before while having tea and found two people sitting there having tea. Fortunately, the bag was still there. I enquired how long those two people have been sitting there. They said, “We are here since the past 30 minutes. We thought somebody might have forgotten this bag and accidently left it here itself, so we left it as it is”. In this way, Swami has been with me all the time protecting me in every difficult or dangerous situations.
Miracle 3
This miracle is also similar like the other two I explained above. An institutional investor gave me 3.5 lakh rupees in a bag, which was to be remitted in the bank as an investment. After finishing lunch, I hung that bag to the bike hook and started my bike to go to office. While driving, I went over a speed breaker and due to that jerk, the bike hook broke, and the bag fell on the road. I did not notice the fall and continued to drive to my office. As soon I reached, I found that the bag was missing! Since the way to my office was a one way, I immediately came back to my house to search for the bag by going in the same direction. Very close to my house, I noticed the speed breaker and thought that the bag might have fallen there. This thought appeared in my mind as if it was a hint given by Swami miraculously.
I parked my bike on the side and started searching for the bag. As I searched, one rickshaw puller came to me and asked what I am searching. I told him that I am searching for my bag, which could have fallen off my bike due to the jerk from that speed breaker and asked him if he found it by any chance. By Swami’s grace, he did find it! He had handed over the bag at a lecturer’s house, which was beside the location of the speed breaker.
Apparently, as soon as the bag fell off my bike, the same lecturer spotted it and asked the rickshaw puller to call me to inform about it. Since he couldn’t find me, the lecturer asked the rickshaw puller to give the bag to him. They opened the bag and saw the money as well as my card. The lecturer thought that he will wait until I come back or else, he planned to call me with the help of my card present in that bag. If that lecturer had not seen the bag while it fell from my bike, I would have lost it. In this manner, Swami found a way to protect my bag until I went back to search for it.
That is why I quoted a verse written by Annamayya garu, “Kachitivi Attittanaka…” which means that Swami protected me in every single situation without any hesitation whenever I needed Him.
