| Shrikhand Mahadev – Shiva’s Darshan |


Om Namah Shivaya!!

This is an experience shared by Vishal Sagar, the elder brother of Babaji Shivananda. The incident occurred during the recent Shrikhand Mahadev trek in July 2018.

The Shrikhand Mahadev peak is considered one of the abodes of Lord Shiva and opens up for pilgrimage in the month of July. The peak is at an elevation of 5227 metres(17150 ft) and is generally considered one of the toughest treks in the Kullu district. (Source – wikipedia)

| Guru sermon- Mahamrtyumjaya mantra |


Experience sharing as received from a devotee from Zurich, Switzerland:

On this Gurupurnimaa day 27th July, I wished to come early from office and attend the bhajans at our local Sai Center. I was chanting all the way on my return to home the mantra given by Babaji – the Mahamrutyamjaya mantram. Soon after I got into the elevator in my apartment, the elevator got stuck and the doors gave up opening, in fact this was first time in my life I got stuck inside a lift. I tried all tricks including the elevator alarm and screaming so that someone could hear me and call the servicing personnel. Nothing helped and as expected, I started to chant the Mahamrutyam Jaya Mantram and messaged Babaji. Soon after I messaged Babaji, I could get some instant relief the door gave a little gap enabling my voice to reach the apartment inmates. I had just that level of battery in my mobile to call my friend who immediately sent an email to Servicing Co. Normally unlike in India, people seldom come out of the apartment nor bother to attend to others, hence one can imagine the state of affairs being stuck inside the elevator with heavy heart beats and profuse sweating. All along I was praying to Babaji to somehow send someone and get the elevator repaired and let me out. Suddenly I heard some noise, the elevator dropped to the ground floor on its own and within 20 minutes a technician came and even spoke to me in English (seldom people speak in English in this country) and he managed to push the door and I jumped out of the elevator safely. Had I not continuously chanted the Mahamrutyam Jaya Mantram as directed by Babaji, it was sure I would have choked with the fear unable to open the iron doors of the elevator.

Ofcourse I learnt being Gurupurninmaa day the Guru and savior Babaji was always beside me to protect and lead me to safety.

Pranams to Pujya Guruji, thank you Babaji!!

Om Sri Sairam… brothers and sisters, my humble pranams to our beloved Swami and our guru Sri Swami Shivananda…

Today, I would like to share the experience I had when I first stepped towards Kangra Sai Mandir. It was on 17th July 2012, when I first went to Kangra Sai Mandir. I was told by some devotees from Punjab about Kangra Sai Mandir and Swami’s divine leelas there. I too wanted to visit the temple but didn’t know the exact location of temple. One day i.e. 17th of July 2017, I was all prepared to go to Puttaparthi but due to some reason I was unable to go and I was very upset and sad about the cancellation of my trip to Puttaparthi. A few hours later on the same day, I received a call from some devotees from Punjab about their plan to visit  to Kangra Sai Mandir, asking me to come and meet them there in Old Kangra.

Sairam brothers and sisters.. today I am going to share an experience when Babaji visited my home in Delhi…

It was 21st February, when I invited Babaji for dinner to my house. Babaji came home along with loving Sai brothers Ashish and Vipul and Sai sisters Divya and Poshna. We offered pooja to Swami along with Babaji, followed by dinner. After dinner we chatted for a while and after that Babaji was about to leave and as he was moving towards the door, he suddenly held my hand, started waving his hand and created a beautiful ring given by Swami.. I was amazed to see this unexpected happening… the ring was so beautiful… more beautiful than I could have ever imagined…

Om Sri Sairam. A Humble offering to our beloved master – “The Master we have never seen before”.
Our connection with Babaji at Kangra happened through a friend, a friend with whom we were not even in touch with for more than 9 years. We traveled with no expectations but with a few jitters which I left with the Lord to take care. The humble Babaji and family, elegant altar of Swami, heart warming bhajans, most beautiful Maa and Aarthi set us up feeling so comfortable. It was astounding to feel part of a family on the very first day and little did I expect for my little one to really feel this Love so instantaneously.
