H.H. (Mrs) Vaishali Suresh Mungle is engrossed in chanting the Name of Shriram
H.H. (Mrs) Vaishali Suresh Mungle is a devotee of Shriram. In a dream in October 1987, a Postmaster gave Her a paper with ‘Shriram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram’ written on it, and when She realised that this was the grace of Brahmachaitanya Gondavalekar Maharaj, She wrote Shriram’s Name one lakh times. She read out the Dasbodha at many places and served as an examiner for the Dasbodha Mandal.
She has had the Darshan and blessings of many Saints.
She constantly chants Shriram Name and performs every action while chanting. She also encourages others to chant His Name. Earlier, She chanted His Name 85,000 times and made others chant too. She chanted Shriram’s Name 63,000 times on Her 61st birthday at Shri Kshetra Gondavale. She celebrated Her 75th birthday on Guru Purnima in July 2022 in a different way – by chanting Shriram’s Name 75,000 times for 3 consecutive days !
Some months ago, She was confined to Her bed after a fall, but Her spiritual practice did not cease. She is always in deep remembrance of God. Her face looks happy and peaceful. She believes that every action is carried out by God and due to God. Despite the intense pain She experiences, She is happy because of Her constant devotion to God and the unending quest for Shriram. Her face has a lot of radiance due to spiritual practice.
Her son, Mr Sanjay Suresh Mungle, is performing spiritual practice under the guidance of Sanatan Sanstha.
H.H. (Mrs) Vaishali Mungle, who has set an example of how to be happy even in illness by keeping alive the quest for God, is progressing briskly. On Ram Navami in 2013, She reached the spiritual level of 61%. On 7th July 2023, She attained the spiritual level of 71% and Sainthood due to many qualities such as immense faith and devotion unto Shriram, constant quest for chanting, etc.
I pray at the feet of Shriram that may She progress spiritually at a similar pace !
