A page out of my life..... Concluding part

I think, it was in 2002 December. My father said that he would like to have the Anjayar statue in his puja room if I didn’t have any objection. (He was a staunch devotee of that God.) I was only too happy to accept this offer since I felt relieved that my favourite God was going to a new abode where He would find a more committed Bhakta.

Contd. Part 3
During my visit to my father’s place, I took the idol and handed it over to him. He now was installed in the puja room of my father’s house where He got special attention from both my father and mother. Certain astonishing things happened after this to which my children and I were witness other than my mother. My dad told me that he had a vision in which Lord Anjaneya had wanted His statue (not the one which was in the puja but a new bigger one) to be installed in some temple by my husband. I didn’t know what to say to this since I was not sure how my hubby would take it. So I asked my father to write all the incidents that happened and also about what came in his vision in a diary.
After a few months my father himself, collecting donations from near and dear ones, to which I too contributed, ordered for an Anjaneyar statue at Mahabalipuram. This statue was sculptured as per the image he got in his vision. Even the name- ‘Sangu Chakra Veera Kubera Anjaneya was chosen by him as per his command from an unknown force. Now that Majestic Anjaneya, six feet tall is installed in the <st1lace><st1lacename>Pallikkaranai</st1lacename> <st1lacename>Lakshmi</st1lacename> <st1lacename>Narayana</st1lacename> <st1lacetype>Temple</st1lacetype></st1lace>! He is the centre of attraction of the temple now. A temple, which was in a state of neglect till then slowly, started getting attention. A lot of people, mostly locals, who, earlier never visited the temple, became regular visitors. Besides Lord Lakshmi Narayana, who is the main deity of the temple (about 700 years old), the other deities which were installed along with Anjaneyar are Venkatachalapathi and Sri Rama, Lakshmana and Seetha Devi. There were a hundred hurdles that came in the way in the smooth functioning of the temple. All the obstructions were removed by Rama Bhaktha Anjaneya. In fact, He had warned my father about this too and had also assured him that He Himself would remove all hurdles and be the cause of the temple gaining its new glory! Now the litigations of the lands have been won in the temple’s favour and the construction of the boundary wall has begun and money is pouring in for the purpose. Of course this objective could not have been acccomplished if not for the excellent cooperation of the local people who have been residing in that area for more longer time than my parents, who moved in there in 1996.
After initiating the process, my parents have moved over to Kilpauk as per my request. Father goes to the temple once a week to see the progress. Once the temple is well established, he would be just another devotee like others. If The Great Lord has other plans, His Will would prevail.
Now, people who have been reading this thread would wonder, What is the link between the incident that happened recently and this episode. Well, I see a personal message in this and felt like sharing it with all to convey a great experience which happens in everybody’s lives in various ways. If only, we are able to decode the mystifying events, we can feel the presence of God every moment of our lives.
Post script- My father’s father was a priest in Sri Rama tremple in <st1:city><st1lace>Jamshedpur</st1lace></st1:city> even though he was not born into a priest family. Not out of choice did he take up priesthood but for survival. Thus was it ordained by the Almighty! Bizarre are His ways, yet, if we choose to walk the path shown by Him instead of trying to be the master of our destinies we sure make a success of life!
Thank you, dear Ilites for the patient reading of the incidents of my life. I hope you enjoyed reading.
