H.H. (Mrs) Susheela Apte, accompanied by Mrs Pranita Apte, performed Aukshan in a bhav-enriched manner at Sanatan’s Ramnathi Ashram

Ramnathi (Goa) – H.H. (Mrs) Susheela Apte performed the Aukshan (Ritual of waving a lit lamp) of Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale on 16^th May 2023 in a bhav-enriched manner to celebrate His 81^st Birthday.

H.H. (Mrs) Susheela Apte is 85 years old. Old age prevents Her from going out or undertaking any travel. Despite this, She travelled from Mapusa (in Goa) to Ramnathi (covering a distance of over 40 kms) in a wheelchair to have Darshan of Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale and to perform His Aukshan. This was a testimony to the fact that God yearns for bhav (Spiritual emotion).

H.H. (Mrs) Susheela Apte offered a sattvik (Spiritually pure) flower at the feet of Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale, bowed to Him, touched His feet and paid obeisance to Him.
H.H. (Mrs) Susheela Apte is four years elder to Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale. Hence, She lovingly performed Aukshan as an elder sister. When She saw Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale, She was overwhelmed with joy and gratitude as if She had met God.

At that time, Mrs Pranita Apte (H.H. [Mrs] Susheela Apte’s daughter-in-law) offered a shawl, a coconut and a garland to Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale. Later, she presented a sari and a blouse-piece (in the ritual of ‘Oti bharane’) to His Spiritual Heirs – Shrisatshakti (Mrs) Binda Singbal and Shrichitshakti (Mrs) Anjali Gadgil.

Shrungirishi stopped rain and a cyclone so that seekers are able to watch Gurudev’s ‘Brahmotsav’ without hindrance ! : Saptarshis

As a result of the ‘Putrakameshti Yaga’ performed by Shrungirishi, Shri Vishnu was born as Shriram in the family of King Dasharatha.
The arrival of Shrungirishi eliminated the drought in the kingdom of King Rompada and rains arrived.

However, one characteristic of Shrungirishi is that His arrival may or may not bring rain. Shrungirishi stood on the grounds so that all the seekers could see Gurudev’s ‘Brahmotsav’, Gurudev and His chariot without any hindrance. He stopped the rains 21 kms away and a cyclone 1,200 kms away from the venue. (The Meteorological Department of India had forecast that cyclone Mocha that had formed in the Bay of Bengal, will make rapid landfall on 9^th May 2023. But it finally made landfall 3 days later. – Editor)

We Saptarshis express gratitude unto the Holy feet of Shrungirishi and Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale, the Incarnation of Shri Vishnu, for stopping the rain and the cyclone by their subtle powers at the venue, so that the seekers are able to have the Darshan of Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Jayant Athavale without any hindrance.

– Saptarshis (Through the medium of  H.H. [Dr] OmUlaganathan ji, 12.5.2023, 11.30 a.m.)

(Sanatan’s seekers too express gratitude unto the Holy feet of Shrungirishi who ensured that rain and cyclone do not hinder the ‘Brahmotsav’ Celebrations of Gurudev in Shri Vishnu’s form. – Editor)

 Individual spiritual experiences of seekers published in SanatanPrabhat are according to the Principle – ‘Where there is bhav (Spiritual emotion), there is God’. It is not that every individual will have similar experiences.
