Amazing Dattaguru leela

This experience proves God will always stay with his devotees  and he will listen to his devotees  prayers every minute, every second.

January 13th we were busy with moving ( into new building in the same apartment ) and things and January  17th my daughter had her dance performance for Tamil Pongal  program & she had been practicing it for 2 months. But Jan 12th night on words she developed high fever and on 13th morning when my husband took her to the doctor & we got to know it was flu & he took care of her while i was busy with the movers and moving the stuff and taking care of some other things. But that day from morning on words...even i wasn't feeling well & i started chanting Dattachalisa from morning till 7pm until the total moving finished. Right after the moving..... i started feeling severe body pains ....& i told my husband to take care of my daughter and i lie down on the bed while chanting Dattachalisa ....& told in my heart...Baba....& Sripada....I am  not feeling well &even the same with my daughter too & more over she has to perform her dance in 4 days and i am not sure how the things are going to be ? Please take care of us. & i messaged my friend to pray for me and my daughter & while chanting Dattachalisa i fell asleep without my knowledge & No One can believe the miracle.

                         After i went into sound sleep i can feel lord datta swami is standing next to me with Thrishulam ( A tall person ) &; i can feel the person who was standing next to me was pressing my body very hard for about 3 - 4 minutes and after i woke up i can feel  very light.

Though i suffered a lot during that particular week ....Still Vittal babaji was with me every minute every Second taking good care of me and my little one.

2) MY Second Experience::

Monday January 26th evening i received a call  from a friend  asking me about my Last name and my credit card details.

I answered to her yes, Yes....All the details are Correct ! How do you know ?

Friend : Is it ....Do you remember where did you forget your credit card ?

I said :: Oh...No... Yesterday my husband used it.

friend :: Yes, I am at Indian grocery store ....The store person asked me do you know Sree datta? & she showed me your card. Now i have your card with me.

ME:: I thanked her ...& said See....the store person had asked you ....& I only know very few people from this place as we are also new to this place. Luckily you are the person whom they had asked about me.

That too....I know that friend thorough Sai Bhajan group...As i organized sai bhajans quiet few times at my place i got to know her other wise i do not really have much indian friends in this place where we live.

This experience proves : Our Beloved Guru and Sripada Swami will always stay with us to take good care of our needs and things.
If we surrender ourselves to Our Guru he won't leave us not even for a second.

Om Sri Sai Ram Guru Deva Datta.

Chanting Datta Chalisa experience 4

My Experiences chanting Dattachalisa Continuation::

From my personal experiences i always feel who ever chants Dattachalisa written by Sri Vittal babaji. With those devotees
Sri Dattatreya swami and Sri Vittal babaji will always stay every minute every second.

Once one of friend who was new to Dattachalisa and upon my word she started chanting it and felt Sri Vittal babaji's presence with her in her house.

Today we are going to read more of my good experiences:;

As i always mention about my pregnancy time...It was very hard time and at 4th-5th month time even doctors said it is not healthy pregnancy and there are chances to not to continue further stages.
But Sri Vittal babaji suggested me to chant Dattachalisa and Lord datta will take care of everything. & From then on...Dattachalisa became Oxygen to me.

The time during my pregnancy when i used to feel lonely...I read a advertisement in a flyer at the doctors office ....For new mothers if you can call and register ...The home visitor will come to your house to educate you until baby comes 2 years old. I felt very happy and called the agency. From then on... every week they used to come and spend 2 hours time with me & seriously it was very big help to me during that time & I can 100% say that ...
It all happened with the grace of Sri Vittal babaji by chanting Dattachalisa all the time. As babaji knows my condition and my state of mind during my pregnancy ....& i always feel he came to me in that form to calm me down ... because how many of my other friends called the same agency to seek some help ...
by then the agency  started implementing some new rules and they couldn't get the same service i was getting.

The Surprising part is :: In the beginning when i signed up for the parenting classes they said they will only come until baby comes 2 years of age. But upon my husbands job we had to move to different place in Florida and same agency had a rule to provide the services to new mothers until  the baby gets 4 year old. &
I always felt like sharing this experience with our family members here but it happened today only with the grace of Sri Vittal babaji.
Every week my home visitor used to spend 2 hours time with me until my little one turned 4years. It was really a big help in so many aspects to me.

2nd Experience ::: One day me and my little one reached home after roaming out side for long time. & i prepared my tea and as she asked me to open the Patio door so that she can play out side....I said play for a little while & i will bring my tea. & Within 5 minutes i prepared my tea & came to the patio. While i was drinking it.... my eyes went to a small plant which is just next to my patio. & the moment i saw i realized it might be a snake...But i wasn't sure about it. I said lets poke and see if its a snake or not....I simply took small stick and poked it gently ...That's it ...
the snaked turned to my side & i was scared and grabbed my little one and ran into the house and locked the patio door. & for couple of minutes i couldn't digest the thing i saw....Oh...God my little one always plays in the patio. & I Thanked God for letting me know about it & immediately called apartment office to inform about it. Later they came and they spread some medicine on all the plants & took the snake away. It was medium size snake in skin color so no one can even realize it as a snake & the surprising thing is without my spectacles i won't be able to see clearly but that particular time without my eye glasses on...my eye could reach the plant and realized its snake. From then on... i never allowed my little to stay alone not even for a minute in the patio.

These are all the examples ..... From them we needed to learn... with our knowledge or without our knowledge so many things will be going around us every minute every second... But If we believe in Guru/ God & Have strong faith in him ....He will take care of us from all aspects. Though we needed to be careful from our side but some of the things we can't sense them ...we can't understand them as we are just human-beings... But Guru / God will always protect his child.

Even if we can consider my yesterdays experience .... I was about to keep my old hand bags into my charity box as i have a habit of clearing the clutter for every 3 months in my house. But at the last minute Guruji changed my mind and i couldn't  keep the bag in my charity box. With that result i did not loose my valuable necklace.

The intention of sharing all these good experiences with description is ....May be who ever is reading these posts ...It will be inspiration to them & even they will get motivation to chant Dattachalisa and Experience very good changes in their lives too.
Anyway in-order to get a thought of sharing these and writing all these ....Sri Vittal babaji himself is doing for sure. Other wise my fingers won't type anything & i won't be able to present it to all our family members. The days i used to write my journey posts....
I truly realized how much love babaji showed towards my family only after i started writing it.

Om Sri Sai Ram Guru Deva Datta.

Chanting Datta Chalisa experience 3

My Experiences chanting Dattachalisa Continuation::

One day i realized about my necklace after we moved to different building in the same apartment....& i started searching about it but i couldn't find it anywhere. The month January not started with good things...the new year starting did not give any good memory.
After new year within in the first week some problem came in my apartment building and the maintenance guys couldn't fix the problem & we had to move to different building in the same apartment & which was really a painful thing ....as we have so much stuff to take care of & during the same time i was busy with my daughters dance performance practices and me & my little one were suffering with flu... I was really upset with all the bad things going at the same time. I could not concentrate on anything at that time....Once my mother came to my place and after i got settled a little bit then i realized about my necklace and searched every where but i could not find it. 2 nights literally i started thinking about it but i was not able to get any clue or idea about it ...where did i keep it the last time when i used it. What to do ??? During the day time i am being normal in the house with my family though i used to think about the necklace all day long and every day night i used to go to bed early and with peace of mind i started thinking to recollect about my necklace and the last time i had used it. No matter how much i tried to remember but i couldn't get any idea & again same story everyday morning .... I used to search here & there in the house.

                              One day night i started talking in my heart...Baba!!! I am very sorry that i am seeking your help ...but what do u want me to do ?? i did every thing i could do though things were very bad during the time we were moving ....Still i took care of the valuable items and documents ....But seems to be some mistake had happened ....But i promise next time i will be more careful baba...Please baba can you help me to find this necklace?? Since long i had a wish of chanting Dattachalisa on Occasion of Mahasivaratri but this year also i will be alone my mother will leave my place before shivaratri...still...I will try my best to chant dattachalisa 108 times if i find my necklace. Please baba....help me in some way or the other way and during morning time and night time all the time either i used to chant dattachalisa or i used to listen to Sripada leelavaibhavam book along with my mother. & the next day ( It was Thursday ) Morning right after i had my morning Tea ....I told my mother to take care of my little one and i started searching for it & after 1 hour i couldn't bear the thing in my heart anymore and i shared with my mother and my husband about my lost necklace .....Then immediately my husband said...You might have kept it in your hand bag check all your handbags. He knows the best in me and worst in me ...I respected his word & checked in my old hand bags...( which i have checked even before too )) but this time in one small zip i found my lost necklace. I was so very happy & first thing i thanked baba !! for being there with me & for taking care of me every minute and every second b/c the surprising part here is:: the day we were moving i called the charity people to come & pick up some clothes and some other stuff from my house. My hand literally went to keep the same hand bag in my charity box but at the last minute i felt like saving my old handbags which are in very good condition ....& in the last minute i thought to keep them with me just in case they might be helpful to me in packing any of my medicines or  any handy (immediate use items ) things once we move to the new building.

After that... i went to my husband and appreciated him for his good observation. B/c he knows what ever it is... i will simply throw the things into my hand bag as if it is like a trash bag. After this episode i felt sorry for being careless no matter how the circumstances are but we should definitely needed to take care of the things without any fail. B/c at the end of the day we will be the losers.  

Second thing what i realized is :: God / Guru will take care of everything once we surrender to his holy feet. B/c chanting Dattachalisa and listening 52 slokaroopa Srigurucharitra & Sripada Leealavaibhavam book ... are my must and should daily activities.
When i am cooking ....when i am driving for pickups and drops, house hold chores...while putting my little one to sleep....While helping her to do her home work or any of her activities.....I will simply turn on the videos in my phone and while listening to them i will do my daily activities. Even in one chapter in Sripada Leelavaibhavam book... Babaji explained మన మనస్సుకి ఒకటె సమయంలొ రెండు పనులు చెసె షక్తి ఉంటుంది. & he explained the same story how it had happened to me in this experience the way i lost my necklace though i was able to stay normal but my total mind was thinking about my lost necklace only. When it really happened in my life immediately i recollected the same story from Sripada Srivallabha Leelavaibhavam book ...Sri Vittal babaji told all of us.

Om Sri Sai Ram Gurudeva Datta.

Experiences chanting Datta Chalisa 2

Jaigurudatta !!!

My Experiences chanting Dattachalisa Continuation::
In January when my family traveled to my bothers place one incident happened which i am going to share here.

Through out the journey it was not pleasant due to bad weather but  some how we started from my place and reached Kentucky. After we reached Kentucky and when we were just 30 minutes away from my bothers place ....We got stuck in the traffic and then... slowly the snow started....In the beginning my daughter started enjoying the snow & even she co-operated through out the 7 hours drive ....But when we stuck in the traffic & even after an hour... the traffic seemed to be in the same position without moving & we were waiting and the snow became worse & it was dark and things started getting worse...Like the weather and the traffic and we lost patience after 7 hours drive and my daughter started crying...& she started crying that she wants to use the restroom & she doesn't want to sit anymore & she is hungry......&& Coming to the traffic there was no change since 1 hour .... We were literally stuck in the traffic & we were kind of helpless in that position.... Once she started crying i felt very bad .... B/c i know how much my little one co-operated through out the journey but at the last moment when we were 30 minutes away from my brothers place even Me & my husband lost patience due to the bad weather ..&& I can imagine about my little one's situation too.

So ....I tried to calm her down but no-way i can do anything for her at that moment. Then i said in my heart ...Baba !!! You saved us through out the journey no matter how bad the weather was & we have been stuck in the traffic since an hour & now my little one started crying please baba.....help us ....& I started chanting Dattachalisa in my heart ....By the time i am about to finish my 11th time of chanting dattachalisa.......All cars started moving very fast....&& I felt that was amazing !!!.
Once i started chanting Dattachalisa in my heart... My little one started to calm down a little bit & she co-operated until we took the immediate exit and went to the rest area.
During this Journey only...One big truck moved to the lane where we were ...The truck driver couldn't see my car ( as it was in his blind spot ) and though we honked to caution him...but still he changed the lane and all of sudden we had to move to the shoulder area to avoid the accident. & The moment the truck guy came into my lane..... i screamed a loud saying Baba !!! & i was really scared through out the journey until we reached my brothers place.

The time the truck came into my lane ..... In my car Sripada Swami's Sidhamangala Stotram was going on..((the CD was playing in my car ))!!. Actually if my daughter is in the car she won't allow us to change the CD :Sripada Ganamrutam which i have posted earlier. She wants to listen to the same CD Over and Over but she never ever feel bored. Because of my daughter ...My husband without his knowledge learned Sidhamangala stotram ...
I am very happy for that. & I Thanked tons of times to Sripada Swami and Srivittal babaji for sending that Sripada Ganamrutam CD to me in the form of Srinivas garu !!!.
After this incident i felt like posting about Sripada Swami's CD Sripada Ganamrutam in our Sripada Swami's page so that all other family members will get a chance to know about it and they will also enjoy it.

See... God / Guru will always stay with his children every minute, every second. It all depends upon us to realize their presence with us. Jai Sripada!!! And Jai Sri Vittal Babaji !!!.


OM SRI SAI RAM GURUDEVA DATTA

Chanting Datta Chalisa experience 1

Jaigurudatta !!! From today on words i will be sharing my experiences by chanting Dattachalisa written by
Sri Sri Sri Swami Vittalananda Saraswathi Maharaj
(Sri Vittal babaji ). and my experiences by Reading / listening to Sripada Srivallabha Leelavaibhavam book. The book narrated by Sri Vittal Babaji.

Today's experience is ::

   One day night my daughter started complaining to me about her ear pain around 9pm on...& i was kind of concern what to do as it was night time and more over my husband was out of town during that time...I asked her do you want me to take you to the doctor now ?
She replied :: No mommy i have ear pain so tomorrow i am not going to school.
I said :: See.... if you don't feel like going to school i won't send you to the school but please tell me the truth beta, & i told her the story of a Boy & tiger ..( I hope all of us might know the story the way the boy lies and at last the tiger comes and hurts him )

Then my little one said :: OK, but mommy its true i am getting ear pain.& I am telling you the truth.
i gave her medicine and put her to sleep while chanting Dattachalisa in my heart ! ( b/c Babaji always used to tell me to chant it & that's all i know )

Surprising part is :: Around 3 am she woke up and called me Mommy ...
I asked her what is it ?
little one replied :: Mommy as i slept well my ear pain went away, Don't worry about it mommy ...good night ! & right away she went into sound sleep.

The most surprising part is : Once she sleeps at night she will be awake everyday at 7.30 am but she won't wake up during midnight & even when she wakes up at 3am or 4am she won't go to sleep normally ...She will give lot of trouble once she wakes up in the middle of night ....but that particular day  she woke up at odd time & saying to me as don't worry about her ear pain and she went to sleep right away ....These things made me to surprise and feel babaji's presence with both of us during that time as he knew i was very tensed that (( I never tried driving during night time and i will only drive to familiar places...How am i going to take her to emergency if her pain gets worse, But if she can stay good just this night tomorrow morning i can take her to the doctors office.....etc...etc..so many things were going in my head and i couldn't sleep till she told me don't worry and good night ))

After she told me @ 3am, then i slept well and the next day morning i took her to the doctors office and every thing got settled. Then i realized what had happened the night before was pure
Sri Vittal babaji's Leela.
Other wise whole night i must have thinking about her and i must have stayed awake. & the next day it would be hard for me to handle the things Inside and outside. I realized Vittal babaji made
all this to happen to calm me down.

For New Mother's who are reading this:: Small info:: When ever kids complain about their ear pain & if it is in Odd timings...then try to give them
1) Pain reliever Medicine
2) Take a sock and put some rice in it & microwave the sock for 30 sec to 1 min and after you check the sock whether its very hot or warm ...try to keep it at kid ear area where they are complaining about the ear pain and keep the sock and rub gently for a little while so that they will get good relief. ( My friend shared with me when i told her about it...who has 2 kids and she has very good experiences with all these things )

We will see more good experiences in tomorrow's Post too.

Om Sri Sai Ram GuruDeva Datta.
