Guest guest Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 I have been here in Florida for 6 months now due to my husband's work. I didn't know much abt the affects of the hurricanes here. This poor state has always been the victims of this monstrous and destructive winds and rains. I'm sure u wld all have seen in the news. When the first hurricane came in July, I experienced abt 75mph of the winds. It was already quite bad. I prayed to Baba asking for protection for everyone here. Baba then came to my dream and showed me how He diverted the hurricanes with His hands. Nature acts in response to our Karma. And so I have read that Baba tries not to interfere much with nature. So, all the while, Florida has been quite safe and been escaping the distrastrous hurricanes like Katrina and Rita. Until, when Wilma came. I was so prepared like all the others cos' Baba did warn me that there's a major hurricane coming a month ago. I did not have the least fear or worry in me and took it quite lightly I suppose. It striked so directly where I live, in Boca. I experienced the eye of the hurricane and my, it was horrendous. The winds were so angry, roaring so loudly and furiously. They were so full of revenge. Huge trees were uplifted with some portion of the ground attached to it's roots. There were just too many to mention. In the midst of all this, I was so busy running around for ice and gas,knowing that I have to survive on whatever cookable items I have only for a week as they were slowly turning bad one after and another. I started to worry for the children as they will have to survive on biscuits alone after hearing from the authorities that it will take 4 weeks for the power to be restored. I even thought of going back to S'pore. I saw all those people around me so stressful, distress. 4 days after the disaster and immense calling for Baba to say something abt this situation, Baba finally came on the Thur and said, it's for u to see and feel the sufferings of these people who have been going thru' this every year. These 4 days were already draining me out, how abt those people who endure this every year? I then realised how I have forgotten completely abt chanting the gayathri mantra in the midst with all this. I felt I just regained strength from Baba's words. I started to chant for 108 times with the form of BABA. Of course I was also distracted by my children, but that didn't stop me. I tried to chant as often as I cld after that. And to my surprise, the power was restored in the evening at 7.20pm with all the screamings of excitement going on in the neighbourhood. It was supposedly to have been restored by Nov 15 or even 26. We were all expevting it much later as prioprities were going out to hospitals and other emergency providing areas. But I was really ,truly enchanted by the power and wonders of this mantra. So soon was the effect. The streets outside were still weeping in the dark except for the area where I live, gleaming and glowing with blessings. But my heart still kept on praying and chanting for those still without the power. Since then, Gayathri mantra has been my favourite now, not for miracles or wonders. But for everyone's safety, peace,harmony, good health and for all good. I just wished I was chanting much much more as the hurricane was approaching us! Gayathri amma will protect all of u. So, lets all chant as often as we can for the whole world! Sorry, if I've not been as detail abt this wonder of Gayathri mantra, I'm rushing thru this mail. I'm still experiencing some power outages with the internet connections. So, I'm trying to post this mail be4 the next outage. May BABA bless all of u so immensely! Keep chanting!
