       Faith in god

  • 19 November 2009, Bochasan
    In a telephone conversation with Swamishri a devotee asked for guidance, “My relative’s daughter likes a boy and wishes to marry him. The boy too has agreed. But the astrologer has forecasted that their marriage will break up after three months. What should we do?”
    Swamishri blessed the devotee, “Since you have firm faith in Shriji Maharaj chant the Janmangal paath five times every day. Any obstacle will be resolved. Everything will work out well. Chant Swaminarayan namaha, Sahajanandaya namaha. Have faith and trust and proceed ahead with their engagement and marriage.”
    Swamishri liberates devotees from obstacles by virtue of their firm faith in and prayers to God.

         Faith and bhajan

  • 23 November 2009, Bochasan
    Swamishri was reading a fax from a devotee in America: Since the last eight years he has being going through severe trials at work, business and in other areas of life. He is facing a financial crisis. Physically and mentally he is going through one torturous problem after another. Swamishri was moved and said, “He is going through a severe test!” He blessed him, “It has pained me to know that you are facing problems in your business and personal life. You and your entire family have firm faith, understanding and satsang. Devotees of the past had unshaking refuge in God, yet they had to go through obstacles and suffering. So, be patient and do bhajan. Shriji Maharaj is the all-doer, and whatever he does is for your good. Maharaj will do good for you.”Swamishri sympathized with him and consolidated his patience and spiritual faith.
