Guest guest Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Namaste Augustine, Warm welcome! Nice to hear your personal story and experience with Lord Ganesha. You're right, He is a special rarity. It is said He is close to the human realm. As Keeper of the Akashic Records, He obviously saw you did many good deeds and whether in this lifetime or in a past life. Therefore He rescued you during that car accident. It was indeed a miracle that a the car's gasoline tank was split in half, yet didn't burst into flames!!!!!! And you got away with light injury, a limp and no doubt some shock and trauma from this episode which I hope you have fully recovered from. They say everything is connected so I guess your friend was attuned to you via the statue you gave him or 'connected', therefore he rang to mention that the statue of Ganesha fell and had its left knee broken. Excellent to name all your cars after Lord Ganesha! The power wheel is therefore like Mushika who gets you where you want to go, smoothly and without obstacles! Wonderful to hear your friend's son loves Ganesha too and keeps an idol of Him. Thank you for sharing your story. This shows us that Ganesha is ever Present in all realms and indeed He bestows miracles to the deserving. A.G. , "agudabi" <agudabi wrote: > > My name is Augustine.

A few weeks later, half a world away, I was driving a friend's car in an undersea tunnel. Someone crashed into us from behind, bending the entire car, which spilt half its tank of gasoline. We were lucky there was no fire. In the tunnel it would have been disastrous. I hurt my left knee and was limping for a while. > > Several days later I received a letter from the friend whom I had given the statue to. He said the statue had fallen and had broken at the left knee. He had a feeling I was hurt and asked if I was okay. > > I keep an image of Ganesh and several cars I own have been named in his honor. > > A Scandinavian childhood friend who was also raised in Punjab and Kashmir tells me her son loves Ganesh and always keeps an icon of him. > > He is a rarity: a happy god. > > Namaste, > > Augustine > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
