The divine intervention

The sole intention to start the spiritual group, Adhyatmwari in Germany was to give people a platform to practice their spiritual beliefs and to help them grow in their journey. I was searching for such a group and when I didn't find one, I got the idea of starting it from my mother-in-law and there has been no looking back since then. In March 2023, on Gudhi Padwa, I started it on an experimental basis and since then till now, we have done various chanting sessions of Maruti Stotra, Ram Raksha Stotra, Atharvashirsh, Sri Sukta, Manache Shlok, Bhagwad Geeta etc. Various people have talked on different spiritual topics on different occassions and the response has been good so far.

We share many good experiences on this journey together, which motivate us and help us keep going and not quit. What does this group chanting really do? Does it help? Does it give any tangible results? Those who chant regularly can vouch for it's positive benefits on the mind and on health and also on things that have been stagnant for years, there is a certain flow in life that is created, there are certain paths that are suddenly visible. but those who have never tried doing it or are sceptical will never be able to reap the benefits of this wonderful science of Mantrashastra.

One such story really moved us all. A regular group participant, who stays in Berlin told us about her encounter with  the divine. 

She was in the US for summer holidays at her sister's place. One day they visited one Indo American festival where many stalls of different things were put up. One of them was selling accessories related to pooja (act of worship).

Out of nowhere she saw an idol of Lord Rama, Lakshman and Hanuman. She inquired for the price as she thought of buying them. She got a very heart felt response, the seller told her that those Idols are not for sale, they are from a trust in Ayodhya. She could simply take them for no cost or give a dakshina of whatever she felt was appropriate for those murtis.

On hearing this, her daughter jokingly said, mom don't give a dollar for those murtis, it is too less an amount. Still the seller was unperturbed and replied, money is not important, the desire to take these murtis home and to trust the divine is more important. She then decided to offer 21 dollars as figures  like 11, 21 are considered very auspicious in the Sanatan Dharma. Lord Ganesha is often offered his favourite modaks (sweet made of jaggery and rice flour) in 11's, 21's. The seller happily accepted the amount and packed the idols for her to get them to Berlin. She installed them in her new house in a new pooja mandir and this is the picture that she shared. 



She really didn't understand how she encountered that stall in that festival in the US and got those Idols for her home in Berlin. She truly believes that the chanting we do together through the group is creating something out of human limits.

One has to believe in the law of attraction, one has to let go of the ego and surrender. One has to tune in to the collective consciousness that helps us grow. One has to believe in the divine intervention, to experience it.

Jai Shri Ram!
