Icing on the cake - the best part of Swamiji's Tithi Pooja

Feel Blessed with Mother's Grace

This is my Facebook write up on 3rd February...

I must tell you this - i have to!

On 1st February 2013 in the evening i got a call from Sri Sarada Math, Pune. One of the Mataji said,"Shraddha, nn Swamiji's tithi puja Sarada Ma will be wearing the sari you had brought for Her." I was very happy indeed & said, "i truly believe now that my 150 have reached Him".

The story doesn't end here... i had bought the Sari from Sarnath when last year we had been to Chitrakoot, Kashi etc. I searched today for those pictures & i was enthralled to know that i had bought this sari for Maa exactly on 3rd February 2012 and today Mother has worn it exactly on 3rd Feb. 2013...!

I am happy to the brim knowing that She has blessed me and She has blessed all..!!! It is not by fluke nor by chance but by Her infinite grace She has blessed every one who were with me during my journey last year....every one who became a part of 150 lectures. What do you say?

After every lecture i use to say that, "after a pilgrimage, a yatra we usually do a 'mavanda', a celebration but for me i do not want any punya, may all the accumulated Punya be distributed to each one who became a part of it..! So it has happened, am assured of it..

Icing on the cake..!

The story doesn't end here...read the best part...

I slowly digested the fact that The Mother has worn that Sari which i had bought for her and concealed my happiness, didn't get much excited and kept ruminating over it. I again got a message that the sari will be changed on 7th so if i had to see i can come to Pune by 6th evening...and i reached. 

As i went there i saw all the Matajis smiling at me. Then i got to know something more from which i haven't yet come out. They told me that every year a saree comes from Belur for Sarada Ma for Swamiji's Tithi Puja. Even this year it came but after putting it on Mother they saw that it didn't have border etc. so it got rejected and then saree brought by me was selected. It has sometimes happened that the sari sent by Belur wasn't approved by the Matajis' but it seldom or rather it had never happened that a sari has been put up on Holy Mother and then removed. 

Every thing points towards a fact that i am very lucky and blessed. I am scared because this is too much for me to handle. Have never been so lucky any time but blessed?

Yes, i am ready to agree with the fact that i am blessed. Every body who worked hard to get this Sankalp fulfilled is actually the receiver of this Blessedness. I am just the mediator to tell His message, His life and take His infinite grace to all.

I have posted the following on Facebook after seeing that blessed sari on Ma Sarada Devi - 

Yesterday came to Pune & straight went to see that blessed sari which the Holy Mother chose. There is one more angle to this story, but I must keep it in heart. When we give a cheque we get receipt for it. Similarly, this is a receipt that the bouquet of choicest 150 lectures reaching Him. I like the marathi word-Pochpavati.! See the pic & feel blessed..
