The memories of that time still live on in a tender corner of my heart—like an unfinished prayer that continues to rise toward the sky.
A small portion of the sacred land of the ashram had already been sold. Though that piece was small in size, its significance to me was immense. Again and again, one vision would arise in my mind—that right there, a grand, divine, and serene idol of Lord Hanuman would be स्थापित… a place where every visitor could forget their sorrows and feel both strength and devotion awakening within.
I made many requests to the owner of that land—humbly and earnestly—but perhaps it was never meant to happen. He had his own needs and eventually built his home there. The day this became certain, something within me broke. I cried… I cried deeply. Those tears were not just for the land, but for the dream I had lovingly nurtured in my heart.
Gradually, it became clear that there was no corner left in the ashram where I could envision placing Hanumanji’s idol. I looked in every direction, at every possible spot, but nothing felt “right.” Then I consoled myself—“Perhaps this was my wish, not God’s. If He truly wishes to come, He will create His own place.”
At that moment, I let go of my efforts and held onto prayer.
I told all my children, “All of you start writing ‘Ram Naam.’ When our collective prayer becomes true and sincere, Hanumanji Himself will be compelled to come here.” This was not an ordinary request—it was a seed of faith that I planted in their hearts.
And then something wonderful happened.
One by one, the children began writing the name of Ram. Small booklets, notebooks… every page filled with “Ram”… “Ram”… “Ram”… They began sending me the books they had written. Those books were not just filled with words—they were filled with devotion, surrender, and an innocent belief that every line they wrote would reach God.
Even today, all those books of Ram Naam are safely with me. Whenever I look at them, it feels as if every letter is alive, as if each “Ram” is glowing like a lamp.
In my heart, I made a resolve—that the day God’s work begins, the day the time comes for establishing Hanumanji’s idol, all these books will be placed in the foundation of that sacred work. Because that foundation will not be made of stones alone—it will be built upon our prayers.
All we had in our hands was prayer… and the rest was in God’s hands.
Time passed. The blueprint of the ashram was ready, construction plans were prepared, but no place could be finalized for Hanumanji’s idol. Each time, something felt incomplete, something seemed out of harmony.
Outwardly, everything appeared normal, but within, a quiet pain remained—like an unanswered call still waiting for a response.
Then came the year 2021. While we were all deeply engaged in the practice of Ram Naam, I had to travel to Haryana for my child’s wedding.
Perhaps that journey, that moment… was about to bring something I had never even imagined.

Victory to the Divine! Victory to Bhole Baba!
