How Grace works

What can be a greater blessing than your wild wishes being fulfilled? As I wrote my book “The Arjuna in Me” , I wished for two things in particular.  One that it had to become a bestseller and second the first hard copy had to be delivered to my Guruji, Sri Sri Ravishankar ji. For a first time author the first was a difficult task and the second was hardly a possibility. But blessings can do wonders in one’s life. As soon as I had published my ebook it was a instant hit and a bestseller within a few days! Yes my efforts were there but grace was much more. As I struggled to get the hard  copies printed at local printers unknown difficulties caused delays. Some printers refused to print whereas others wanted me to redesign the book cover with them. However, finally a printer agreed to do the printing in the format I had self published the ebook.  My friends and family were waiting for the hard copies for over a month now, but my mind was wondering how do I send the book to gurudev? Thus a few weeks later I got the news that Gurudev would be visiting Goa for IFFI inauguration! My happiness knew no bounds… it was as if this visit was planned especially for me! But as the date of visit grew closer a different kind of apprehension started to brew in my mind. My printer has not yet delivered the book! How was I to hand over the first copy? But nature acts in unfathomable ways. I received copies of my book the previous night of Gurudev ‘s visit. I was overwhelmed! So much was being done for me with so much precision! Thus when I came to know that I may not be able to deliver the book to him due to time constraints or rush of people I knew in my heart that this obstacle would also be removed.  Thus that evening I found a way to make sure that my book was delivered to Gurudev inspite of all the odds. Thus, my two big wishes were instantly fulfilled without much efforts on my part. Thank you Guruji for bringing light and grace into my life…🙏🙏
