Namaste friends,

 

I talked about sound vibrations at various levels, some gross and some subtle. Though it may be tough to visualize for some, we are all connected at some level and can communicate through mere thoughts.

 

I want to narrate a small story.

 

We performed a Shata Chandi Homam at the Kalikambal temple in Chennai during March 1-7, 2006. It was finished in the afternoon of March 7 and then the water from the kalashas used in homam was used for doing abhishekam of the idols inside the temple. The priests took me inside the garbhalaya for that ritual. I was sitting inside, close to the idols. The priest brought a Rudraksha mala from the Mother and put it around the neck. For a second, the following stupid thought raced through mind: "I already have so many Rudraksha malas. It would've been nice if I got a sphatika mala as a memory of this homam." Immediately, I told myself: "O fool, just keep quiet and be happy with whatever you get." I then forgot about all this and did some meditation there while the rituals went on.

 

I was on a flight to Hyderabad next morning. My son was hitting the seat before him with his legs and the old gentleman in that seat turned back to complain. I apologized to him and told my son to sit properly. After a few seconds, that gentleman turned back again and asked my name. When I said I was PVR Narasimha Rao, he said that he liked me and that he used my software. He was a professional astrologer in Hyderabad. He had seen a photo of mine 6 years back in an EST interview and recognized me although I had no hair (I had given my hair at Tirumala before the Shata Chandi homam) and looked different from the photo. In fact, he said he was intuitively expecting to meet someone important on the flight and was extra alert because of it.

 

He told me he had met a saintly person the previous evening (i.e. a few hours after the abhishekam mentioned above) and the gentleman gave him three sphatika malas. Apparently, he was told to keep one for himself and one for a close family member. He was told by that saintly person that he would meet a person he admired within 24 hours and had to hand over the third sphatika mala to that person! He was supposed to go back to Hyderabad on March 8 night by train, but some sudden changes of plan meant he canceled the train reservation and took a flight in the morning instead. It happened to be our flight, we happened to sit behind him, my son happened to push his seat, he happened to recognize me and so we connected. As soon as we went to the baggage claim and his suit case came, he opened it and gifted me the sphatika mala.

 

Look at all the coincidences in this story!!

 

I had taken a vow to read Durga Sptashati for 108 consecutive days, starting from the Shati Chandi homam. I used that sphatika mala from that day onwards.

 

It is clear to me that the energy that drives all of us also connects all of us. Sometimes, this unseen connection is stronger than the physical and explicit connection formed through external senses (hearing, seeing etc). All this results in a lot of interesting coincidences at times!

 

I have seen many examples like this and this story is only one illustration of the idea.

 

BTW, when the thought came to my mind, it was the afternoon of March 7 in Chennai. I think Cancer was rising. When the sphatika mala reached my hands, it was the forenoon of March 8 in Hyderabad and Taurus was rising.

 

Sarvam SreeKrishnaarpanamastu,

 

 

Narasimha

Dear Lalitha garu,

 

> > Thank you for this story as it reinforces my belief on the Universe, > > God and the coincidences and how doors open when we leave everything > > to God.

 

This is precisely why I shared a personal story with the group. If I can inspire even one person, I thought it would be worth writing.

 

However, I need to caution you against calling it a "miracle" or thinking of me as a "sincere, true and humble devotee". This is not really about me at all. The fact is that it was a very auspicious moment and I was close to an idol worshipped by great sadhakas and I was in a small area where atleast four really great souls were present at that time. All that may have contributed to whatever happened.

 

If at all there is something to take away from this story, it is what Lalitha garu wrote above. This is not really about *me* at all. This is about Her. I am merely a nimitta in the story. So do not think of me when you read the story and only think of Her.

 

In the last month or so, Jupiter and Ketu were transiting in Aquarius navamsa. Aquarius in my natal rasi chart contains my AK Moon and my current AD planet. This transit has made me post a lot of articles related to spirituality. If my writings were useful to some people, I am glad. If my writings were found to be nonsensical by some people, I am sorry (please ignore me).

 

I seemed to have ruffled a few feathers with my spirituality posts unintentionally. I will be reducing my spirituality related posts.

 

 

Sarvam SreeKrishnaarpanamastu,

 

Narasimha

Narasimha P.V.R. Rao Ji i have also some experinces in this regard.

i wanna share one of them.

In the Start of Last Year I suddenly have a thrust to read " BHAGWAT

GITA " i was in noida . i visited malls to purchase a copy of BHAGWAT

GITA but all were in english traslation so i was not interested. Then

i forget searching because of my busy work schedule. Then after three-

four weeks my team leader came to me and said vishal my one of friend

is attached with ISCON and he is selling BHAGWAT GITA(hindi) Are you

interested I was surprised how GOD himself heard voice of my heart.
