Om Shri Gurbhyo Namah
Om Shri Bhriguve Namah

Om Ji Everyone

With GuruJi and GuruMa’s kripa, we moved into a new house on March 31st this year. Manoj and I would like to share the Miracle like events we’ve experienced in the past few months and the Divine guidance we got at every step from GuruJi and GuruMa –

Nov 11th, 2016 – GuruJi told us to start looking for a house from Jan 2017. He told us by March 15th, everything would be very clear and the move will happen very fast.

On Jan 22nd GuruJi told us the following details about our house -
3 bedrooms plus, price range, close to Ashram, Detached home, Something narrow is there, similar to Rajesh and Chaya’s house – look in that area, some body will vacate and you’ll get it,
3 months from today, by April 22nd you would have decided everything.
Change your realtor right now, it won’t happen through him. GuruJi gave us a reference for a realtor.

Feb 10th – reading came that we should place Maha Ganpati moorti facing east and Shree Yantra in our new home (which we still hadn’t found). This will remove vastu dosh and bandhu dosh. So BhriguJi had already seen that our new home will have Vastu dosh and given the Remedy for it as well !

Feb 14th – A house came up on the market and our new realtor texted us the details. The realtor’s open house was scheduled for next day. GuruJi and GuruMa were leaving for India that evening itself. Amidst their extremely busy schedule with children and packing etc, they took the time to drive by the house and without even looking inside (it wasn’t open to the public yet), they told us that this was our house! They told us the exact price to quote and assured us that we’ll get the house. This is a very competitive housing market in Irvine, but their words put us at ease and gave us the confidence to move forward. Next day, we were the first ones to see the house in the Realtors’ open house (which is usually not allowed) and made the offer on 15th night. The seller had already scheduled open houses on Sat and Sun, and our realtor had told us to expect a response earliest on Tue after they have had a chance to wait for any other offers over the weekend. Our offer was delivered to the sellers on 16th morning. Within an hour, we got the verbal acceptance followed by the purchase agreement later! GuruJi and GuruMa were in flight, but they kept guiding us on the phone even in transit, it’s amazing.

When we walked thru the house the first time, we noticed there was a huge Eucalyptus tree very close to the house and leaning in towards the house. We both had some concern that this might fall on the house and even mentioned it to our realtor. The next day the tree was cut by the city without our asking for it – our only feeling was of overwhelming gratitude to Bhrigu Maharaj, He had taken care of the slightest concern that had entered our minds.

March 15th – We still hadn’t closed the house but the reading came in which BhriguJi gave us the Grah Pravesh Tithi as Ganesh Chaturthi  and told us how to enter the house to remove Vastu dosh. On Nov 11th, GuruJi had already told us that by March 15th, everything would be clear !!

On Jan 22nd, GuruJi had mentioned these details:
3 bedrooms plus – we have 4 bedrooms and a loft
Some number should add up to 4 you will find out – 4 bedrooms
price range – spot on
Close to Ashram 100% - its 5-7 min walking distance from the Ashram
detached - yes
something narrow is there – there’s a narrow pathway going up to the main entrance
similar to Rajesh and Chaya’s house, around that area – 5 houses away from their house
some body will vacate and you’ll get it – renters had vacated the house recently, and the owner put it on the market
3 months from today, by April 22nd you would have decide everything – Our move-in date was March 31st.

We’ve been in our house for over a month now and are still amazed by the level of details given to us and the precision of the readings. Everything was already planned and waiting to unfold. GuruJi and GururMa’s guidance made everything so simple for us. We humbly bow down to them in gratitude.

I met GuruJi and GuruMa in 2007 through my cousin. That time we were living in Minneapolis. I had just read the Autobiography of a Yogi by Shri Paramhansa Yogananda Ji and had a strong desire to read Shrimad Bhagvad Gita. I tried reading on my own and also read the interpretations of a few other authors but it did not make sense to me. My cousin told me about GuruJi and that he was going to start a Gita pravachan on the phone via conference calls. So just out of curiosity I logged in and I was blown away by the very first pravachan! Never before had I heard such a beautiful explanation and analogy of the Gita and that too in such simplistic language. My husband and I started listening to GuruJi’s pravachans regularly on the phone after that. We also got initiated into Geet Divya Kriya Yoga from GuruJi .

In 2011, we moved to California. We live just two minutes away from the Ashram and are personally involved in the day to day activities of the Ashram. A typical day at the Ashram – GuruJi does Bhrigu Aarti and pravachan in the morning. There is aarti in the evening too followed by pravachan. Then the nightly prayers. All this is available via conference call to all the devotees. Throughout the day GuruJi and GuruMa are meeting with people or talking to them on the phone answering their spiritual or personal questions. On a daily basis we see so many people benefitting from GuruJi and GuruMa’s guidance. Friday evenings are special as there is also dinner (prepared by GuruMa) at the Ashram after the satsang. Sunday mornings are reserved for Bhrigu Divine Readings. The readings are beyond our scientific/logical mind and are a direct proof of the presence of the Divne power and how it is guiding our lives. On Sunday evenings, GuruMa has been teaching Hindi and embroidery to the kids. Recently, GuruJi started Rudram path and Abhishekh on Monday evenings.

All these events are free and open to everyone. There has never been any demand for any donations. All contributions to the Ashram are voluntary.

The Ashram also organizes annual retreats (5-7 days) and mini retreats (3-4 days) throughout the year. The retreats are full of pravachans from the various scriptures – Gita, Bible, RamcharitManas and many more. GuruJi’s interpretation of the scriptures makes it so easy to understand them. The retreats also include multiple meditation sessions to reinforce the meditative practice, bhajan/kirtans and the sumptuous meals prepared by GuruMa !

In 2012, we travelled with GuruJi and GuruMa to India to meet GuruMata BrahmaJyoti Ji (affectionately known as BabaJi) in Bhrigu Ashram at Uttarkashi. BabaJi has three Ashrams in India, in Uttarkashi, Kiyani and Haridwar. BabaJi herself has acknowledged the light of BhriguJi in GuruJi and GuruMa and given the blessings for establishing Bhrigu Ashram in California.

GuruJi and GuruMa have two kids and GuruMa has severe rheumatoid arthritis. And yet, I’ve never seen them say no to anyone who asks for help or taking a break from their daily schedule. They are an excellent role model for all of us showing us how to lead a spiritual life while balancing our family responsibilities. It’s a blessing to be under their guidance. Every day I receive invaluable spiritual guidance from them in the form of Aarti, pravachans, mantra chanting, various poojas etc. In return if I do any little seva at the Ashram, it is out of my own free will and respect for my GuruJi and GuruMa. It’s the least I can do in return for the priceless knowledge that they are showering on me. I humbly bow down to them.
