Sripada Rajam Saranam Prapadhye.
Sripada devotee Gauthamiji is sharing an amazing experience with swamy.
Namasthe.
I would like to share an incident – a miracle I would say, that I got to experience.
A few days before, I visited Pithapuram along with my family members, first time after my marriage. We had darshan of the lord and sat down in the temple premises to do parayanam of Sripada Sri Vallabha Charithramrutham. I completed reading an adhyayam and sat aside. While my husband was reading, I saw an old man. With long hair and beard, he looked shaggy and was in rags. He was behaving in a strange manner. But I noticed he had the features of Sripada Sri Vallabha. Spellbound, I took a photograph of the old man in my husband’s mobile and showed it to my parents. I thought of giving the old man some money, but he had disappeared by then. Later, after coming back to our hometown, when I checked for the old man’s photograph in my husband’s mobile, it was not visible. I checked with my husband, but he was sure he did not delete it nor did anyone else. I tried hard but could not get a trace of the photograph. I was just left dumbfounded.
This experience made me feel the old man was none other than the LORD himself, who wanted me alone to have his darshan live, but not save his photograph anywhere.
Jai Gurudev!
Sripada Rajam Sharanam Prapadye!!!
Jaigurudatta.
