A visit from the God himself

Once there was a village which was affected by a pandemic. In the midst of the pandemic the villagers had no choice but to evacuate the village but the people had nowhere to go. In this chaos, one of the villagers', Manoj's wife died. The couple had a 4 year old son. One of the villagers advised Manoj that he should go to Puri Jagannath temple and pray for his wife's afterlife so that her soul shall rest in peace. Manoj went to the temple with his son. Manoj wanted to buy some flowers to offer in the temple. Manoj asked the boy to stand in the shade of a shop while he was buying things from another shop. The shopkeeper where the kid was standing got annoyed as Manoj was buying things from another shop. The shopkeeper shouted at Manoj and asked him to take the kid from his shop's shade. Manoj took the boy and told the shopkeeper that God is watching everything. 

On that day the shop had zero business. Later the boy was really hungry. Manoj tried to keep him calm and consoled his son that as soon as they get darshan of the lord, they will go and have their lunch. The queue for darshan which was moving very slowly, stopped all of a sudden. The people around came to know that there was a VIP and his team who were visiting the temple and so till they finish, common people will not be allowed to enter. The VIP who was inside praying to the lord was offering 54 varieties of sweets, worth a lakh to God. 

The VIPs offering the sweets were all displayed in the CCTV footage displaying television. The little boy watched it and he became more hungry. Manoj understood his son and he asked the boy to sleep for some time. Manoj took the boy in his arms and the boy rested his head on his father's shoulder and eventually fell asleep. As soon as the VIP left, the people in the queue began to rush for darshan, the order was no longer maintained and the security guards were forced to shout and beat the people to fall in a line. Manoj and his son were pushed aside. Manoj felt really sad. 

Out of nowhere Manoj heard a whisper. The voice from the void told Manoj to go back home. I will visit you. Manoj and his son returned to the village. Manoj fed the boy and kept some water ready for the guest. Manoj even lit lamps to welcome god. After sometime Manoj fell asleep as well. Around midnight a man showed up. Manoj was quick to sense the presence of someone at his doorstep. A man appeared from the dark and Manoj addressed him as The Almighty. The person replied Yes you are right. Many have different perspectives of God but I am like you or any other human. I have a connection with everyone. Manoj executed his duties as a humble host and the guest took his leave. Soon after this incident the pandemic disappeared without a trace from the village. People were back to normal and happy life. Manoj and his son visited the Puri Jagannath Temple every year since then. 

Manoj visits the shrine not seeking any blessing but inviting the deity to visit him. Manoj greeting the deity and treating the deity as if they are two friends is an amazing visual. Manoj has surpassed the bond of a devotee to deity, he has taken it so personally that he has made friends with the God himself.

Predictions and perspectives have no role to play with the God

Kutty story #59

   God is within us through our journey of life. The story is about a baby boy who was about to be born into this world. He pleads to God not to send him to earth as it’s very chaotic and deceitful. God convinced him with his soft spoken voice and soft strokes, all about life and death. He tells him its very important for him to be born on earth for a reason. The baby boy finally gives in but asked for a promise from God in return. He asked that God be with him always as he wouldn’t want to go otherwise. So God agrees with a smile. The baby boy asked God “how will I know you are with me when we are on earth as I will not see you”. God replied with a smile “whenever you close your eyes and see you will see two footprints, one will be mine and one will be yours”. So the baby boy was born and life went on as any other baby. He grew into a kid and then into a young man, got settled in life and got really busy with life and its tensions. He had forgotten all about the discussion he had with

The bond Sudhama and Lord Srikrishna were great friends. Both of them were good friends since their days at Sandeepani Saints Ashram as disciples. The students were supposed to follow the instructions by the Saint also they were all supposed to help the master's wife by collecting wood for household purposes. The boys were in charge for collecting flowers for Pooja and wood for cooking.  One day it was ekadashi (the day for fasting) the wife of the master had kept two hands full of dry fruits for Sudhama and Lord Srikrishna as they had to go to the forest. Since it was the day of fasting the students were not allowed to go to the street seeking food from the villagers. However another sage walked into Sandeepani's ashram and asked for food. Sandeepani's wife politely replied they have not cooked anything as it is ekadashi and there is no food in her kitchen to spare for the sage. The sage meditated for a moment and with his inner eye he could see the two hand full of dry fr
