Shri Radhe Maa – Leela-Amrut- How Devi Maa saved little Annie

 

Shri Radhe Maa

How can I abandon the one who calls me mother?

– Shri Radhe Maa

By Rita Chana

 

What follows is the story of the biggest miracle that Devi Maa has wrought in my life – my daughter Annie.

 

Annie was born on 13 weeks premature on 15^th September 2011.

She weighed just 750 grams – the weight of a box of mithai. Annie had lots of problems but she weathered them all thanks to Devi Maa’s blessings. When she was born, doctors cautiously advised us to take each day as it came. 

Annie in the days following her birth

My faith in Devi Maa was unwavering; I was sure she would help my little angel tide the trials she was facing. The doctors told us that Annie was bleeding internally in her head. 

I prayed to Devi Maa and the bleeding disappeared.  Annie was born before her digestive system could develop fully, and she also had a blockage in her digestive system the doctors told us. All symptoms pointed to that direction. On the day Annie was to be X-Rayed, I prayed to Devi Maa and tied a molee (sacred thread) around her swaroop (picture). I knew that Devi Maa was looking after her. I had full faith in her.

I was steeling myself for the inevitable operation that I expected the doctors to recommend. However, the results of the x-ray shocked everyone, including the doctors when it revealed that she was completely normal. This was when my husband realised how powerful Devi Maa is. He is not religious or even spiritually inclined but after this ordeal, he is convinced that Devi Maa helped Annie at every step. Whenever Annie had any problems, I would quietly pray to Devi Maa and within minutes, Annie would show signs of recovery. Devi Maa blessed our daughter by naming her Annie.

Precious Annie is truly is one of Devi Maa’s little miracles.

Devotees can serve Devi Maa. They can never repay the debt of her love 

By Sanjeev Gupta

Shri Radhe Maa

Water flows from a higher level to a lower one. This, in my experience, is also true of Devi Maa’s grace. While humility or deenta is rewarded, those who come to her door intoxicated with the pride of money and fame are often deprived of her grace. It is not that ‘Devi Maa’ does not love such devotees. It is just they allow their stubborn ways to deprive themselves of Devi Maa’s grace. I know this because I have been similarly foolish in the past. Devi Maa practices tough love. I know that she loves me so much that she does not mind sending a little suffering my way to halt my journey to ruin. The wise one’s learn fast. Devotees who are fated to wait longer for her grace keep repeating the same mistakes.

Shri Radhe Maa

I was reminded of my old foolishness for the umpteenth time during the Maa Jagdambe Jagran on March 3. There were several devotees present at the venue whose lives have changed thanks to Devi Maa’s grace. Not one of them denies this. Some sadly also mention wherever they can how much they have done for Devi Maa. It is as if I am staring at a mirror. I have been there and done that myself and I know it is not a good place for a devotee to be. What can we possibly do for Devi Maa who is the great doer in the lives of all her devotees? We can only express our love and devotion for her. We can never repay the debt her love places on us.

When Devi Maa comes to know of such statements – and there is nothing she does not know – her eyes crinkle in amusement. She laughs like a child.

Shri Radhe Maa – Leela-amrit – When ‘Devi Maa’ called

Shri Radhe Maa

by Sanjeev Gupta

Shri Radhe Maa

Sardool Sikandar’s story: I was telling my son about Devi Maa’s miracles. He was understandably skeptical. He asked me if Devi Maa would call if he prayed to her in his heart. I told him that she would if the prayer was sincere.

 He closed his eyes and prayed. A few seconds later, the phone began to ring. My son stared at the phone in terror. The screen said DeviMaa. I smiled and asked him to take it. He was too stunned to respond. I took the phone. Devi Maa’s voice rang out clearly.

“Kripa karo Devi Maa,” I told her.

“Give the phone to your son,” Devi Maa said.

I handed the phone to my son. He was too shaken to speak. He greeted Devi Maa with a Satsri Akal, a namaskar and Jai Mata Di in a single like.

Shri Radhe Maa

“You wanted to hear my voice?” Devi Maa asked.

“Yes,” my son blurted out.

“How do you find it,” she laughed.

“It is beautiful Devi Maa,” he said.

“Is there anything else that you would like to ask?” she asked.

“When can I have your darshan?” he asked.

“Soon,” she said. “That was not what you had prayed for. Now that you have asked for it, you shall have it,” she said.

Shri Radhe Maa – Amrut leela – A friend in need

 

Shri Radhe Maa

 

By Sanjeev Gupta

Shri Radhe Maa

Vishal Sareen’s (Mintu) story:  I had settled happily in Australia after I got married. Life was good except for three regrets. I missed India. I missed loved ones back home and I missed Devi Maa. I requested Devi Maa to bless us with a visit to Australia. She promised me she would come. This was in 2007. I had just been in Australia for a year.

 In 2008, just a year after she made the promise, Devi Maa came to Australia and stayed for two weeks. Mamtamai Shri Radhe Maa’s leelas continued in Australia. I re-established contact with an Indian friend with whom I had lost touch for the last few years. He had moved to New Zealand and was now a citizen. He moved to Australia a short while after I moved to that country myself. Despite having moved before me, he was struggling to make ends meet. He had a degree in logistics but that had not done him any good. He was forced to drive a taxi to manage his family that comprised of his wife and son. I asked him to pray sincerely to Devi Maa who always rewards those who believe in Her and wait patiently for her blessings.  

I invited my friend to Devi Maa’s chowki in the house of another devotee in Australia. I prayed to Maa and asked her to help my friend.  I asked her to make me a channel of her grace. I told my friend that he could stay with me till he found a house on rent, which is a big deal in Australia. More so, if you are an Indian with a New Zealand passport and have no income. A few days after the chowki, which my friend attended, as we stepped out of a friend’s home to drive home, a man called out to us. He was an Indian from Fiji. He told us that he called because he thought we looked Indian. He wanted to rent out a house he owned. Would we know of someone who was interested?

So, my friend had his house on the very night of the jagran. A fortnight later he landed a job that appeared to be made just for him. A few months later, his wife joined him with their son. Devi Maa honoured my request. The friend is a staunch devotee of Mamtamai Shri Radhe Maa today.

Shri Radhe Maa – Doing business in Australia

By Sanjeev Gupta

Vishal Sareen’s (Mintu) story: I was always clear about two things in life. One, I wanted to create a life for myself in Australia. Two, I wanted to start and manage a business of my own. When I expressed my desires to Devi Maa, she smiled and said that both my dreams would come true in time. She also assured me that it would all happen without much effort on my part. It was a test of my faith in Devi Maa. She always emphasizes the power of saburi or patience and deep faith or shraddha.  

I knew that Devi Maa’s words would not go in vain. However, I was young and impatient and wanted things to move fast. Devi Maa merely smiled at my impatience and advised that I wait. Things would move in a favourable direction, she assured me. 

I completed my post-graduation in computer science. My elder brother was already a computer hardware and networking engineer. Together, we started a small computer training institute in Punjab. Life was moving on just fine but I kept wondering when Devi Maa’s words would come true. I was steadily deepening my knowledge of computer parts and peripherals. Choti Maa, Devi Maa closest sevadar and my elder sister, called to tell me that Devi Maa wanted me to enroll for certificate courses in LINUX, MCSE and CCNA. I told my sister that I did not see the point. I was already a post-graduate. However, this was coming from Devi Maa. So, there was no way I was going to ignore it.

In 2007, my family arranged my marriage. My bride was Indian but her family had settled in Australia. We got married and getting a citizenship was not a problem at all. 

I managed to find a job shortly after I landed in Australia thanks to the certificate courses that Devi Maa had asked me complete. After working for some time, I decided to branch out on my own. My brother joined me and together we started our business RM Electronics. My brother and I live together in the same house. People wonder how we manage to do in this age of nuclear families. I can say with conviction that it is our devotion to Devi Maa that has made it all possible. I have found a soul mate, founded a successful business and created a life for myself in Australia thanks to Shri Radhe Maa’s grace. 

Whenever there is a chowki in India, the audio visual is streamed live across the world on the Internet. On such days, our entire family watches the chowki online. We also ensure that every new purchase in our house is offered to Devi Maa before it is put to our use. Even the children in the house know how it is done. We are blessed to have such a loving mother. Jai Mata Di.

Shri Radhe Maa – A promise is a promise

I will never abandon you.

– Shri Radhe Maa

By Sanjeev Gupta

Vishal Sareen’s (Mintu) story: Mamtamai Shri Radhe Maa promised me in the winter of 2001 that she would visit our house on Diwali. Devi Maa tests our faith. She also expects us to be patient. I had asked her to bless her home in Mukerian, Punjab, with her charan and she had graciously agreed. Diwali being a special day for Hindus and Sikhs, Devi Maa’s devotees make it a point to seek her blessings. Devotees maintain that seeking her blessings on the day ensures prosperity, peace and health through the year.

Not surprisingly, on Diwali, the clock kept ticking and yet Devi Maa did not come. I however did not want to abandon my faith in her words. We had decorated a room so it was transformed into her gufa. Our bed was to be her aasan or throne where she was to give darshan. We waited with a sinking feeling, expecting her to would turn up any moment. At around 1 am, I told my mother that it was time to retire. However, I thought that it was appropriate that we would sleep on the floor that night. Devi Maa’s aasan would be left undisturbed. It did not feel right to disturb it.  

The night was very cold and the blankets warm. I slept soundly. Sometime into the night, I was awakened by Devi Maa’s voice, “Mintu, you are sleeping soundly and you have not spread the blanket for me.” I thought I was imagining it. The voice rang out in the darkness once again. “Get up, spread the blanket. It is very cold.”

I woke up and looked at the aasan. It was undisturbed. I spread the blanket that had been kept over it. The clarity in Devi Maa’s voice was still with me. The hair on my hands stood at end. She had indeed visited. I had been given fresh proof that Devi Maa always keeps her word. With her, a promise is a promise.

Shri Radhe Maa – What Maa gave me

By Sanjeev Gupta

Rita Purohit’s story:Mamtamai Shree Radhe Maa channels her grace mainly through sight or drishti during her darshan. She is an ansh avatar of Maa Sherawaali Durga who has no selfish desires save the welfare of her devotees. Her door is a divine hospital where the worse of afflictions are cured. Her energy is gentle, full of light and radiant with love. Her grace has fulfilled all my desires. She has given me much more than I deserve. She is am embodiment of maternal love. She does not ask anything of anyone. She does not demand worship or service. She does not ask people to abandon beliefs, philosophies and old ways of worship. Whatever she says comes to pass. She rarely speaks on her own. All specific queries made by devotees are directed to Choti Maa, her closest attendant, who communicates Shri Maa’s will to her devotees. In the nine years I have known her, my health has improved, my financial issues have been sorted out, my family has grown to be supportive and there is a deep sense of contentment in life. I do not fear death anymore because I know Shri Maa will guide me in the hereafter as well. My only prayer now is that I do not commit a sin so grave that it attracts Devi Maa’s displeasure.

Shri Radhe Maa – Home of my dreams

By Sanjeev Gupta

Rita Purohit’s story: Eight years ago, I was hunting for a flat in South Mumbai with a budget that was not even one-fourth of the going market rate. Not surprisingly the search proved to be fruitless initially. When I shared my problem with Devi Maa, she declared firmly, “I will not only help you get a house of your choice, it will be a house within your budget.”

Once those words were out of Devi Maa’s mouth, things changed for us. The properties we were shown by estate agents after she reassured us had a positive air about them. Her words came to pass; they always do. There are times when she also gives bad news but that too is taken care of if one prays earnestly to her. I can say from my experience and from the experience of others who have surrendered to her that she is a mother who never fails her children. Once a devotee surrenders, he or she becomes her responsibility.

Shri Radhe Maa – How I became a devotee – III ( Rita Purohit )

Plastic bangles and pure love 

By Sanjeev Gupta

Rita Purohit’s story: When I had my first darshan of Mamtamai Shree Radhe Maa, I had asked Talli Baba, her attendant, if I could have the tassel that hung around her hands and her plastic bangles as memento. He refused. What a rude man, I thought. All that fuss over some trinkets! I did not know at that time that it was not up to Talli Baba to decide what could be given away. That is entirely Devi Maa’s call. After Devi Maa left the venue, I was drawn to the place she had given darshan to the sangat (congregation). And what did I see – there, on the seat she had graced, were the two bangles and the tassel I had coveted. The skeptic that I was I wondered if someone had (maybe Talli Baba) had told Devi Maa what I had asked for. However, I brushed such doubts aside and claimed the objects as Devi Maa’s prasad. 

The doubts refused to die. At the next darshan I stood in a corner looking at Devi Maa. “I will believe in you if you single me out for a gift of a tassel and four bangles again.” A fraction of a second after I voiced the desire in my mind, Devi Maa looked at me and with one finger gestured for me to come closer. I did and she took off her tassle and four bangles and handed them to me. All my doubts were put to rest. I have never had reason to question her divinity after the incident. 

Shortly after the incident, I found my husband and my in-laws being drawn to me. There was less bickering happening and we were soon reunited. I knew it was Devi Maa’s energy at work. It has been nine years since then, and we have grown to be an extremely close knit family of devotees dedicated to the service of Mamtamai Shri Radhe Maa. I am not alone here. Thousands of devotees attest to how Shri Radhe Maa’s love has united estranged families. The stories and many and they keep coming in.     

Shri Radhe Maa – How I became a devotee – II ( Rita Purohit )

By Sanjeev Gupta

Rita Purohit’s story:  When I reached the chowki, I took in the lavish preparations and wondered if God who is said to expect simple heartfelt devotion would approve of this grand setting. It was too loud, too colourful and too elaborate for my liking. Then my brother irritated me with his comment that Ma had visited the place in pavan roop. What he meant was that Devi Maa had in some magical way visited the place while we sang bhajans. He said this was told to him by Choti Maa who is Devi Maa’s closest attendant or sevadar. “Maa says she would not come to the chowki because she does not feel khench or pull towards the congregation,” Sanjeev told me. I wondered if my Choti Maa had called Devi Maa and communicated my skepticism to her. Maybe, they had spoken over the phone, I told myself.

A few moments passed and Sanjeev came to me with another message from Devi Maa. Devi Maa wanted me, yes me, Sanjeev’s sister is whom she had chosen for the job, to sprinkle ganga jal in all over the house. I hesitated for a moment before agreeing to the order. It is the normal devotional thing to do, I told myself. What harm was there in doing it? After doing what had been asked of me, I alighted the stairs that led to the space where the chowki was being held. As I looked ahead, Shri Maa’s car zoomed into view and stopped a few feet from where I stood. I watched transfixed, as the door of the car opened. She just put one foot out of the car, and that is all my eyes took in. I looked at it and wondered at its beauty. For about a minute, the foot is all she took out of the car.    

Then she stepped out and I was stunned by her beauty. I also saw a halo spread like a rainbow rising from her shoulders, its curve rising high above her head. My God, I remember thinking, she is divine, and began to sob uncontrollably. I cried my heart out for three hours for no reason at all. She smiled at me.  I felt her loving energy envelope me. It was bright, motherly and extremely positive. If I had to use one word to describe her, it would be ‘positive’. She is a dynamo of positivity that spreads not only in places she visits but also in homes and other places where her swarup or images are honoured.
