Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 divinesahajayoga " Suneel Janakwar " <suneeljanakwar Thu, 6 Jan 2005 03:36:06 -0800 (PST) DivineSahajayoga Miracle (or as expected by Mother's grace!!) story from Tsunami-hit Andaman & Nicobar – update on Yogis & SY center there Jai Shri Mataji ! It has been reported in various Indian media that the Andaman & Nicobar group of islands of India had suffered around 3000 deaths and little over double the number were reported missing till yesterday (the official death count is based on number of bodies found – the bodies not found are declared missing!). The leader of Andaman & Nicobar Mr. Manoranjan Saha is based in the capital of the island group - Port Blair. The gentleman is very-very simple, even by Indian standards. He wears a dhoti-kurta (a dhoti is a wrap around cloth, generally of cotton, that is still worn by villagers in many states in India and regarded unfashionable by modern Indians!). His sight is always towards the Mother Earth or towards Shri Ma. He cannot speak English (he acknowledges that he had learnt it in college but cannot speak) but can converse in Hindi with a Assamese or Bengali (east Indian languages) accent that is difficult even for a hindi language knower to understand. It was heard that he is made fun of even amongst SY's in a center which I too was part of but his surrender and dedication are what SY's like me who are nowhere as deep as him should look up to and learn. He had presented miracle photographs that came out at his center to SY's including me when I was based in a city in South India. The photo had his contact number at the back. The day before yesterday (4th Jan 05) it was announced on the Indian Television that telecommunications with Andaman & Nicobar group of islands have been restored. On calling him up yesterday morning he was very happy to receive a call from a SY. He said that all 150 SY's in the group of islands are safe by Mother's grace. The center is intact too. (He runs the center from his house of which he occupies a very small part & has dedicated the rest of the house for the center. The center can accommodate all 150 SY's there!). He informed that a SY had a house at the jetty. The waves crossed the jetty's wall but stopped at the wall of this house (you may have seen in photographs of areas along the coast in south-east Asia that all structures along the coast were completely destroyed. This house is not). He informed that the center was on a small hill and intact. On asking him whether he needed help in any way he seemed very hesitant to ask. Here he was in a land torn apart by Tsunamis and in one of the worst affected places of India, being asked how he/ the other SY's could be helped while he kept on talking only Sahaja matters. He narrated how he had asked the question at the South Indian Seminar last year of how to remain in the Sahastrara longer & how he had received beautiful answers from other SY's. His only regret was that he had wished to donate some land and build an old age home by Mother's grace but the water level has now gone over his land (a number of islands have gone under water completely or partly). It was requested of him to check up with other SY's in the group of islands and to inform if they needed any help and it was thought that if he himself may have needs, he may inform subsequently. A contact telephone number was given to him but he said that it was not possible to call outside from Andamans till that point of time. He said that he had wanted to contact Mr. Nalgirkar (India leader) to take permission for performing a havan after the disaster but he could not get through. He also said that he also did not wish to call any SY in the mainland so that the person may not wrongly construe it as a call for help. Though he had been told that he will be called after a day to check on help needed but I was worried how to organize (any sum would be a pittance to people whom I thought would have lost there everything) and then how to send out the help (bank transfers may not be working; even if a SY from South India is requested (I have been brought to Pune by Mother's grace & am no longer in South India) it would be difficult for him to go there – and it was anyway too late by the time I remembered that I had Mr. Saha's telephone number with me! Also the telephone lines had just started working. Yesterday I even thought that I will post this to a SY e-mail group & word will spread. But then I was also worried how people will talk to him because of his language constraints mentioned earlier and even if someone wants to send help the logistics barriers may be insurmountable for now. The Indian government is indeed doing a good job of giving help to its affected people and also other affected nations but the prevailing conditions are really very bad. All the time I was thinking how this problem can be solved not realizing that the divine itself takes care of all its children. Today, after trying to leave it to the divine and giving myself a bandhan, Uncle Saha was called. It was already afternoon – it had taken me that much time to surrender and call! When asked whether he could find out what help was required he again reassured that all 150 SY's in the island are safe and do not need anything (though the overall situation is indeed grim since the lowermost point of this group of islands is just 60 nautical miles from the epicenter of the earthquake in Indonesia). He said that by Mother's grace he was pretty well off monetarily (though many of his lands are under the water now). He also helped/ is helping other SY's in the islands monetarily. He said that he is telling me about the help he has/is providing only because I am sounding too concerned; otherwise he prefers not to tell this. His only grief now is that his desire to build the old-age home may not happen or be stalled because of nature's fury. What he said subsequently demonstrated the establishment of Shri Mahalaxmi in him. He wants to donate a huge sum for SY. He asked me that since I am in Pune I should find out how he can give the money. He had actually bought the money when he came to Pune for Christmas Puja but was unable to meet the national or the city leader because of the huge event (these were the only means he seems to know through whom to donate) and had to take the money back. What is specially touching is that he still wants to give the same amount in spite of the difficult condition he may be facing. More on the miracle – though in SY it is not a miracle but known fact of Shri Mataji's protective powers. The SY center in Port Blair had many photo-frames of Shri Mataji. Though they fell down because of the earthquake but not even a single one was broken! The public address system too is intact. It had cost Mr. Saha quite a sum to purchase this for public programmes. The center had a couple of televisions and mud pots of plants. (I can get the center photograph with me scanned but don't know how to send to the group without being blocked by because I see all attachments removed in where I receive my divine sahajayoga group e-mails except the ones kindly posted by the Moderator whose url i.e. link is specified). Everything of the center is intact. Most others buildings around are destroyed and people are saying that this building remaining and that too with its contents intact is a miracle. Many people are leaving the islands because of fear of inundation of the land and bad conditions there. He says that because of Shri Mataji he does not have any fear and wants to remain there to carry on Sahaja work. A true leader, isn't he? Jai Shri Mataji ! - a SY from Pune P.S. 1. Mr. Manoranjan Saha's telephone no is 03192-235031. It may have to be dialed +91-03192-235031 from other than India. He may not understand non-hindi speaking SY's but will definitely understand Jai Shri Mataji (Your talk may be limited to that only !!) The telephone of Andaman & Nicobar centre if any SY wishes to dial from a country other than India would be +91-3192-235031. The hyphens(dashes in the number) are to be ignored i.e. like 00913192235031. 2. Just got a phone call from a SY in Chennai in South India –of course all are safe there as well - JSMJ !
