He hears us wherever we are…

We are based out of Coimbatore and were fortunate to be annexed into the benign fold of Sri Sri Swamiji’s grace a few years ago.

We have a routine of doing Akhanda Maha Mantra Kirtan on the birthdays of all our family members and other special occasions. We decided to practice this a few years back, starting on May 8, the wedding anniversary of our parents.

On that day, the Maha Mantra Kirtan started at 6:00 am and went on throughout the day. At about 6:00 pm, it came to a close and just then I had a thought on whether Sri Swamiji would have known about the Akhanda Nama at all. I then thought, ‘Well, if He had known, would He not respond in acknowledgement? Does He not always say that Maha Mantra Kirtan is something close to His heart?’ The stream of thoughts had not even faded from my mind, when the telephone rang. Sri Sri Swamiji was at the other end of the line, talking to my father!

I was surprised to see how our sincere prayers and the Nama Kirtan reaches Him, where ever we are, and in whichever state we are!
