OM SHREE LAKSHMI NARAYANAYA NAMAH!!!!!

OM AMMA!!!

I take the opportunity to express my gratitude towards our beloved OM AMMA and LORD LAKSHMI NARAYANA during my son’s Upanayanam function, held on 7^th June, 2012 at Vartak Nagar Aiyappa Temple.   I would like to share my experiences and amazing happenings in the temple, during 6^th June,7^th June and 8^th June, 2012.

To begin with, when the date of the function was fixed, Om Amma conveyed DEVI’s “itcha” of 9 yards saree of particular colour, on the day of function. Subsequently along with Om Amma, around 25 of us went to Ganapatipule during 11th to 13th of May. On 12^th May, Devi blessed our Son, Pranav nicely by holding his hands and we felt as though she is passing on some energy and conveying some MESSAGE to him.

We were disappointed to know that due to some unavoidable circumstances, Om Amma cannot attend the function.   

On 6^th June, 2012 “Nandhi” function was performed at my residence.  After the function got over, around 3.00 p.m. my husband Mr. Shiva was spellbound to receive the call from “DEVI”, blessing the family with all the best and telling that she was around during the function throughout and will be there for the Upanayanam too. Again, in the evening, amidst all hectic schedules, we got a call from the temple to visit immediately at around 9.00 p.m.  When myself and my husband reached the temple, to our utter astonishment, DEVI was looking very beautiful in the saree which we had given and we got Goosebumps when we saw that DEVI was soaked with full of KUMKUM from head to toe.  AGAIN, we could seek the blessings of OM AMMA at the temple itself. Also, the DHOTI(weshti) of NARAYAN bhagwan was graceful and the two colour border appeared as ONE BORDER which was matching exactly with the colour of SAREE.

On 7^th June, 2012 UPANAYAM function went off very smoothly and OM AMMA with family came to my residence in the evening and blessed PRANAV.

On 8^th June, 2012, early morning, I was taken aback when my sister in law, called me from ERODE and said that she saw NARAYAN bhagwan in her dream and smelt haldi(manjal), continuously even after she got up in her house.   On the same day, DEVI gave darshan during our regular class and told SHE indeed had come in my Sister in law’s dream and gave ‘haldi’ to all of us. (My Sister in law, UMA Kannan, infact was instrumental and purchased all clothing for our function as well as for LAKSHMI NARAYANA, as well as other Gods and she could not come to attend the function due to a fall resulting fracture.)

Miracles after miracles!!!!!!!!!   On 8^th evening inst. we got a call from the temple to visit the temple at around 9.00 p.m.  My husband had gone out for some work and he came back and in hurry we rushed to temple.  Om Amma had changed the alankaram and to our great surprise, OM AMMA asked both of us to unfold the saree and weshti respectively, which were worn by LAKSHMI NARAYANA from 6^th evening to 8^th evening.  WE WERE THRILLED with this unique experience.   We started to unfold slowly and to add our thrill we saw Chandan/Vibuti with tulsi from Narayan Bhagwan Weshti and Kumkum/Haldi from DEVI saree.  WHAT A FEELING!!!  

We can’t explain in meager words, about our experience, throughout the three days.  OM AMMA although she was not physically present during the function but her presence was there and her blessings enabled us to perform the function grandly.

NOT TO END this chapter of our experience, on 9^th June, early morning, my husband Shiva and my son Pranav had gone to Amma temple for ASHTABISHEK of LORD AIYAPPA.   While doing the archana, all of a sudden, OM AMMA called PRANAV and asked him to do the archana along with Her.  My husband was very thrilled and happy to see that PRANAV got such a rare opportunity of doing pooja  alongwith OM AMMA.

ONCE AGAIN, we thank OM AMMA for her continued guidance and blessings which are bestowed on our family.

GEETA SHIVA & FAMILY.
