“Last year was difficult for my wife and me. We faced many challenges in our lives. We prayed to Shri Mataji, but we weren’t sure if our prayers were reaching Her.

In September, I went to drop off my mother-in-law at her residence in Achalpur. While there, we visited a Sahaja Yoga center and experienced a wonderful meditation that brought us a deep sense of peace and resolution.

When we returned to our hometown of Khendwa, I spoke with our local vegetable vendor. He told me that he had come to our house while we were away. Someone had opened the door from the inside and informed him that we were not at home and didn’t need any vegetables. The next day, the vendor returned to our home, and the same thing happened.

I asked the vendor what the person who opened the door looked like. He said that the lady was wearing a dark brown sari, was very radiant, and had a large, moon-shaped bindi on the forehead.

A fellow Sahaja Yogi later explained that, just as Shri Ganesha’s symbol is the Swastika, the symbol of the Adi Shakti is a moon-shaped bindi. That’s when we realised that the person who had opened the door to our house was none other than Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Herself! At that moment, I understood that Shri Mataji is always taking care of our lives.”
