Sripada Rajam Saranam Prapadhye.
Sri Guru Dev Datta
This is my second experience. First being how Datta saved me from a poisonous insect in my temple. I will start from last year only. After I did Parayan of Sripada Srivallabha Charitamrutam I also did parayan for 40 days for job change. And had Datta's grace. I got job in world's top IT firm and not only that I was sent sent to a foreign country for 6months by that company. It would never have been possible without Datta's grace. I am currently based in another location. When I moved here last year I didn't carry my charitamrutam book as my sister was also doing parayan but I feel that Sripada had his own way of reaching us. When I came back from foreign I went to home town and this time I brought the book as I was undergoing some mental turmoil. So I did parayan again. From many days I wanted to have an idol of Sripada but could not find it online. But one day I booked a search on India mart and next morning I got a what's app from a nice person who deals in marble idols. I casually asked him whether he had sripada idol and guess what he sent me two pictures to choose from. I was not expecting it since not many people know about Sripada or In other words Sripada does not want them to know about him. I placed an order for a smaller idol on 31/5/16. Meanwhile the emotions turmoil was going on increasing. Sometimes I would think that Datta and Sripada are angry with me. I would cry and cry and cry. I would say Datta you say you are SMRUTI MATRA PRASANNA but I cry before you everyday. Cant you hear me. Cant you see my tears. I was also waiting for Sripada idol but it was getting delayed. Finally the person shipped it and told me that by today that is 18th June 2016 I will receive it. Since morning I was waiting. And since I stay in PG I didn't want that any one else should take it. I called the courier guy but he was pathetic. I read the reviews of the courier company and my heart sank. Finally I got the number of the delivery boy. First he said he would deliver by 3pm then he said rudely that he would deliver on Monday. I was crying badly and I was ready to beg him that please my parcel is imp. Then I said ok gv on Monday. I again tried their customer care and before I could dial the courier boy called again that he would deliver the parcel today only. I was so happy. I went to the market to get milk and curd and sweet for him. And finally I received him. Yes I got my Sripada. I gave him a bath with milk and curd and offered sweets to him. I was so happy.. Two days back I also saw a dream that I was in a sea ( I'm scared of water bodies ) but at a safe distance. Suddenly water started rising and I was away from the shore. I looked towards the shore and started walking saying DATTA DATTA DATTA. I was walking against the water flow still i found no difficulty to walk and easily reached the shore. And when I looked back I saw a whirlpool which came but didn't touch the shore. Datta and Sripada are testing me real hard but I know they will never fail me. The day I will be about to fall they would come running for my rescue. Attaching the pics of my sripada idol. Jai Guru Datta
