Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 dear members, i am a resident of mumbai and in the last 2 days my faith in Lord Guruvayurappan has only saved us. My 44 year old banker husband who underwent a bypass surgery in may 2004 works at churchgate.worried,how he would tackle the crowds in the train while commuting i had suggested that he commute by a chartered bus to and fro after the surgery. except a few times that he has to take the train he generally commutes by the chartered bus. however on 11 th july morning, he told me that as he had audit at the bank he would have to stay at work longer and would be taking the train back.Evening as i returned home from work, uncannily i felt like watching the news and to my horror saw that a blast had occoured at khar-santacruz close to where we stay. my first reaction was obviously to call my husband and warn him but i could not access him on his cell. i called up his office only to realise that he had left office at 5.35 pm. i just started praying to Lord Guruvayurappan and after 10 minutes got him on his cell. thankfully, he had decided to take the bus and was on his way home. he sure was startled on hearing about the blasts. anyways,he got home and quickly checked with all his colleagues whether they were fine. a few were in the train however as they were in the second class compartment were saved , however they returned spent the night at the local branch of the bank. my husband then tried to call his fellow colleague sharad Bobhate with whom he had come down from the bank. sharad took the train and my husband the bus. we tried till midnight to contact him on his cell but sometimes the network was busy and sometimes the number was shown as busy. we hoped he was at some night shelter and fine. however next day his son called up our home early morning to find out if his dad had called us by chance! that is when we decided to search the hospitals for him and after going to 5 hospitals we found his dead body at sion hospital. nothing can describe how shattered we felt. when i agonised why my husband had to undergo a surgery 2 years back, i realise now with amazement what a grand plan was there in it. if he did not have a surgery, he too would have been travelling by the the train.Again Was'nt it my Lord Guruvayurappan who asked him to take the bus even though he was supposed to sit late and take the train.before his surgery my husband hardly showed interest in coming to temples or in pujas. todaythat has changed and his faith in god has definitely increased. i have every reason to beleive that the surgery was for positive reasons. i can only be amazed and wonderstruck with the lila of Lord Guruvayurappan . I surrender humbly to his will. He knows what is best for us and ours is only to be part of his grand plan and seek his divine protection always. humbly, jayashree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Dear Jayashree, Incredibly touching story. Thanks for writing and sharing with all of us. We all are glad to hear your family is safe. The tragedy in Bombay was a man-made calamity. We all have to fight together as human beings and cut across lines to stop such acts. May god help all other victims of this man made tragedy.
