Nothing wrong in asking regarding our experiences, I felt God's presence near me on many occasions! One such occasion is ---
Once when we were visiting a Vishnu temple between my place and my parents' place while going back to my city, we stayed in a State Guesthouse for that night. In the next morning when he came out after bath, announced that the shower fixture was fixed on the wrong side, so be careful while opening it, he warned. But unknowingly I too did the same mistake and opened it and kids had a head bath and surprisingly the same happened to me, with wet hair we all started to visit the Vishnu temple. Had good darshan and started back,there was no restaurant on our way, so didn't have anything since morning! But meanwhile, our car was suddenly stopped on the highway, the driver said, the repair work will take at least half an hour. Instead of waiting under that Banyan tree, we decided to explore that unknown village's muddy lanes. Found a small post office, after that there was a cluster of small temples, curiously we were in, I entered into a shiva temple, there sat an elderly lady with a one rupee coin size vermillion on her forehead sat near the Shiva . Let me reveal a fact,😊 normally I am not so keen to pray Lord Shiva, I am a Krishna Bhakth [ don't think seriously about it , it is just like that, not a controversial thing,] so never did fasting on Shivratri day and never visited any Shiva temple on that day! Now, the elderly lady offered me a fist full of Bilva Patras[ leaves] and said do puja , she recited the mantras, unknowingly I did the puja, later with a silver tumbler gave me water and with her eyes directed me to pour the water slowly on the Shivling , then milk, and then with blessings gave me a flower. Kids and he were in Hanuman temple till then and they joined me to pray Shiva , I came out and said about that lady and turned that side, she was not there! When I asked the person who is cleaning the premises --who is that lady and where she lives, wanted to give her some money[ stupid me], he said, there is no lady in this place . no one sits there near that Shiva, today is Maha Shivratri , all the villagers visited the temple in the early morning itself , no one will come till the evening, that is why I am cleaning it! I was stunned ... what is this????? Had head bath in such a way, didn't get anything to eat since morning, the car stopped near this temple, who is that elderly lady/ Why she insisted me to do puja there with Bilva leaves? After Vishnu darshan, he directed me to see Lord Shiva too , nothing in our hands, sometimes the God bless us with His Divine love , it is a lesson for me, never try to stay away from any God, all are the One , the Supreme Being, only names are different! Of course later we found a very good restaurant and had a tasty bf and reached home with all the divine blessings in our hearts. 😊
