Om Ji Bhrigu Parivar,
Sorry for the length! Here is a description of a fraction of some experiences with Gurudev and Guru Mata :)
Initially had met with Guruji through my father, as they had both played cricket together on the east coast! Through this connection, my mother, father, sister and i connected spiritually to Guruji, being initiated to Geeta Divya Kriya Yoga on July 4, 2009.

Earlier on, in June of 2009, Gurudev had looked at my chart. Through His pure intuition, He made several astounding predictions that held true. He said that there would be an inclination to spirituality after December of 2009. He also mentioned that there would be a move from the current home i was residing in to another location, further away, after January of 2009. In addition, He said that i would be making a trip out of the country after June 2010.
The first prediction was the inclination to spirituality. Never had i even imagined living in an ashram, or being so deeply involved with a spiritual lifestyle. February 1, 2011 was the flight to John Wayne Airport, the day i was blessed enough to first step foot into Bhrigu Ashram. This coincided with the second prediction, the move to California which was decided less than two weeks prior to leaving. By Guru and God's grace i moved to the Bhrigu Ashram, residing there until December of 2010 (at which point my entire family had moved to California walking distance to the Bhrigu Ashram - after over 30 years of living in Pennsylvania). The third prediction held true on the trip to India with Guruji, Guru Mata, Devang and Shreeya (we left on June 4th, 2010 - the prediction was for a trip out of the country for June 2010!).
At the end of January 2010, Guruji had blessed the Emerald ring, chosen by Him, for me to wear. Within a week, so many changes occurred that i never imagined would be possible. For most of my 23 years, up to that point, there was never a time that an anxious heaviness wasn't in my stomach. Always nervous, hands always gripped and knotted into one another, i couldn't sleep at night, going through cycles of severe depressive states. This anxiety and physical strain dissolved along with a multitude of other physical problems, such as severe migraines that lasted for days or sometimes weeks, and degrading quality of eyesight – where at a point i began to experience sporadic blurry patches in my vision. In August of 2010, Guruji guided for a bangle of copper, silver and gold. Upon His blessings to wear the bangle, it was almost immediate relief. Prior to this period, there was a thick fog of mental confusion and unruly emotion that was clouding my functionality. With His grace, after wearing the bangle, this fog slowly settled to an increasingly clear mind. i started to feel His and Guru Mata's backing, that their support was lifting me, and there was nothing be afraid of. His umbrella of grace was protecting me, vanquishing all of my doubts and deep rooted fears.
There is so much more that seems so important to write – the way Gurudev had guided us through my father's health battle, the way that my father, sister and i were hired at the same company upon their move to CA, being able to take a trip to Badrinath with Guruji and Babaji, how i lost over 50 pounds after moving, the hundreds of predictions that i was fortunate to see come true in my time spent at the Ashram – there just isn't enough space!
If anyone were to tell me that i would be a completely different person, i would never have believed them. If anyone were to say that i would experience happiness and bliss the way that i am now, i would have never understood. i went from a state of monumental mistrust in others to complete unshakable faith in Gurudev and God. He showed me God in everyone, and in myself. i came to truly value the divinity in me.
It was a transformation of imagining what i though i wanted, to knowing exactly where i was meant to be. my Guru's words resonate with me constantly, and there is no greater feeling than to know you are being guided in the right direction, that you can completely surrender to the One who has experienced that one Truth.
Blessed by Grace beyond any words, so fortunate to be at the feet of Gurudev and Guru Mata. Praying for further faith, pure love and complete surrender.
With Deep Reverence and Love,
Om Tat Sat

OM SHREE GURVE NAMAH
Couple of months prior to meeting Guruji I happened to read “Autobiography of a yogi”. While reading the book I felt a very strong current inside me. It felt like my whole body was vibrating. That book sowed the seed of desire to get initiated into kriya yoga.

Couple of months later, I was at a park with my 3.5 year old daughter and saw a pleasant looking lady vipulaji enter the park with shreeya. We both smiled at each other, the conversation began and LIFE CHANGED. When vipulaji talked about Guruji, she talked with so much faith and respect that made me want to know more. Then Kishore ji joined us at the park. He had come directly from the ashram after listening to Guruji’s pravachan. The energy in the air was just magical.
The next day, I called vipulaji and asked her if I can join her to the ashram one day. She gladly agreed and introduced me to guruji. Thank you vipulaji. As I entered the ashram, Guruji was giving pravachan on “significance of aarti”. He exuded warmth and affection. Listening to his pravachan just calmed me down.
My second day at the ashram, Guruji took a look at my horoscope. As Guruji was taking a look at my horoscope, the flower that was neatly tucked in the ganesha idol fell down to the place where we were sitting. This is considered a good omen. I was spellbound. The facts that he predicted about me were so accurate.
At the time I was thinking of looking for a job. Guruji predicted that I will get a job very soon. With his grace and blessings, within a month things started to fall in place and I had the offer. Distance to work and the kind of job were exactly like what he had told me. Guruji recommended that I wear emerald. He carefully chose an Emerald that was blessed by Babaji and made sure he got it ready for me before he left for the India trip. Thank you so much Guruji.
During his India trip, inspite of his busy schedule guruji was always available to answer my questions no matter how trivial it was. He is always there to guide.
There are so many simple shlokas we listen to and never know the essence of it. But when you listen to it from Guruji the meaning just comes to you. His Sanskrit is impeccable. I have never seen anyone so articulately explain Gita and vyas katha. When you listen to him the meaning just stays with you.
Lot of the times when I go to ashram there will be some question in mind but after listening to Guruji’s pravachan the questions just get answered without even asking. Whenever I have attended Guruji’s discourse, it is always something that I was thinking about or talking about that day. It is like Guruji read my mind.
The benefits that I have experienced after listening to Guruji’s words and meditation are not just material but psychological as well. Something, which one has to experience. There have been times where Guruji casually mentions something during conversation and it just comes true. I have learnt the hard way not to apply my analytical mind for everything. Like Guruji always says surrender to guru and god is the key. I know I have a long way to go.
Guruji not only preaches but he also leads us by example. Bhrigu ashram is ashram in true sense. I have always seen Guruji and Gurumata selflessly giving and guiding anyone who comes in contact with them. Anyone who comes to the ashram, are welcomed with open arms by both of them. Truly blessed to be part of bhrigu parivaar.

Today I am writing these few words to deeply Thank You Sanjay Guruji for your accurate reading and the gemstone you recommended for me last year.
I will never forget the series of things you mentioned last September 2010 and I quote your words---
"Your Brother's marriage will go very smoothly in Nov 2010. You will experience a lot of happiness in Nov/Dec2010 with your family and life and your mother will also experience happiness and bliss after feb 2011"

Each and every word in this reading came true .My mom came here to stay with me in March 2011 and we spent very good time with each other for 6 months. They were really memorable.
Additionally, after that reading session you recommended me a yellow pukharaj ring for my job growth. You mentioned that after 15 Oct 2010, I will experience the change in job. I took your words and started wearing the ring. After that for some time I got busy with my brother's wedding and went to India. Came back and was still maintaining my old routine job which I had for long time now.
Suddenly, in April 2011 I got call for a position in a big pharma company. I got selected and was offered that job. I asked you, and you told me to take it but due to distance reasons I did not continue.
Again in May 2011 , I got another call for another good company ,which also I got offered .You told me to continue ,but due to travelling issue I did not continue this one either . I did not follow your words twice. But I repented heavily on my decisions and not listening..
To my surprise, in Aug 2011, I got third position in another good company which I took and now continuing. It is contractor but I will take my chances.
During all this time, it never occurred to me what may have triggered all these sudden events in my life…But, now that I am thinking in retrospect your words in Oct 2010, it should no longer surprise me. It is the result of Bhrigu and your blessed ring I am constantly wearing on my finger!!!!.
Guruji these events have greatly intensified my faith more each day in the gemstone and Bhrigu Blessings!!
Please bless our family..

My Pranams and Namaskar to all Bhriguvians,
Pranams to the Holy Feet of my Beloved Guruji...
I met Sri Guruji on 10th August, 2011 for the first time at Hyderabad. I was at Mrs. Shivani's place by 5.30 am and waiting for Guruji to arrive. Guruji arrived at around 6.10 am, the moment I saw him, the divine light, the aura was amazing. The first thought that came to my mind was aah......at last I have found my Guru. I have never seen a Guru before and always craved for spiritual guidance from a Guru. I am happy God himself has directed me to my Guru. The right Guru to take care of my life, advice me at the appropriate moment and help me in my pursuits.

His presence was magical. I was really feeling the positive vibrations in and around me. I was sitting close to Sri Guruji and shaking my head in approval to what Guruji was saying during the course of his pravachan. I was a bit dissappointed when Guruji did not ask my details for the Nadi readings, however he told me in a soft tone that he will meet me one on one a little later, that really gave me the confidence that I will be getting even more closer to him, a truly divine soul. Guruji radiates divinity in and out.
Coming to the condition that I was in, when I met Guruji. My wife was ill with Fibromyalgia a crippling disease, she was unable to squat or stand and do anything. She was in a lot of pain. I quit my job in Chandigarh and came home for her. Financial resources were fast drying up and I was really.....really looking for a Guru to take control of my life.I was unsure about everything, with thoughts hovering in my mind. How can I pay the exorbitant school fees of my Twin Kids? How will I look after my sick Wife? How will I take care of my aged Mother?
As told to me, Guruji called me and my wife, asked my details and my wife's details entered them in his system and started narrating the past with the exact dates and also told us our future with the confidence and authority. I was stunned with the details that he provided with the dates about the past. That in itself removed most of my miseries that I was going through at that time. Guruji gave me and my wife a Blue Sapphire each and asked us to wear it. Guruji also advised my wife to perform a certain ritual each Saturday for six Saturdays to get rid of her health problems. Also,Guruji told me with conviction that I will get a Good Job within 40 Days of wearing the stone.
Myself and my wife did everything in word and deed to what Guruji told us. Today I am really happy to pronounce that my wife is really doing good. Her health has improved by leaps and bounds, since we met Sri Guruji. I have secured a job in a Company at Bangalore and the in the next few months my financial status too will improve. I still remember, Guruji said "take my word and write it down, everything will be OK and you will get a job", "Do you have a Passport in place, you will go abroad", ".If something comes out of my mouth, it has to happen and will happen for sure". The confidence in Sri Guruji, the feelings of strong faith in Sri Gurji's Holy Feet is what is driving me. Sri Guruji has showered his divine grace and blessings on me. I am really delighted about the whole thing and wanted to share it with all of you.
Belive me the day I met Guruji, that night I was feeling hot as though I was running a high temperature. And the encounter with my divine Guru was flashing without a stop in my mind. Even today I can hear guruji's voice the pravachan the predictions and all. He is always with me guiding me in every aspect of my life. Guruji please do forgive me just in case, I have committed any errors of omission or commission.
May Sri Guruji shower his divine blessings and grace forever. May he grant us the oppurtunity to perform Guru Seva forever.

Om Ji,
I am happy to share experiences with Guru Ji and Bhrigu Ashram.
I am American, Catholic, my mother is from Pennsylvania and my father came to the US from India. I was blessed with a loving upbringing, including the normal ups and downs experienced growing up.

In the Summer of 2005, a new seed was planted into spiritual life. During that time, I was preparing to study in Germany for graduate school and was learning the German language with a teacher before departing. At my last lesson, my German teacher gave me a copy of the book 'Autobiography of a Yogi.' I didn't read the book right away. Slowly though, I read page by page, then chapter by chapter. I began to notice that the stories of the Saint Yogananda were imparting deep lessons, inspiring more spiritual goals in life. It also shed new light on the commonalities between Western and Eastern spiritual traditions. As I was reading the book, it felt like my thinking was transforming.
During this time though, life was not easy. I was having some conflicts in establishing a general career direction. In addition, I was witnessing some behavior in society that had inflicted a lot of inner sadness and anger. I was seeing that many people were abused by the financial system and didn't know what was happening. Waves of wastefulness and corporate selfishness seemed to show darkened roots within a social order I had always predominately trusted. I was filled with intensive stress from the after-shock of experiencing a more deceptive side of humanity. I had wondered if all the optimism I previously carried in life was simply youthful naivety.
In 2008, I returned to the United States, to PA. I had been praying and meditating more often and was connecting with family and friends on this basis to help strengthen in faith. I was seeking solace. The transition was to move from faith into society to putting faith into God, the Supreme. Through all the pain I wanted find the best way to serve with my time here.
The meditation experiences during this time had handed me some unexpected surprises. It told me that my faith, trust and love could be strengthened. Thus I desired to learn from others who had 'been there before.' I was reconnecting with my Christian roots as well as discovering new lessons from the Indian background.
In this time, I had reconnected with a high school friend Hetal Kharecha. We shared our perspectives on life and spiritual views. I had learned about Guru Ji, who was friend of the Kharechas. It turned out that Guru Ji and Bhrigu Ashram were also coming from the same Kriya Yoga tradition as Yogananda Ji - the book that I had been reading already. I was excited to meet Guru Ji.
That time came in the Summer of July 2009 when I met Guru Ji. The first days were very difficult for me. It was not exactly what I expected. My ego was greatly challenged on hearing things I didn't think I wanted to hear. I was wondering if Guru Ji really understood me or not. But eventually I started listening more instead of constantly defending. Instead of going to a place of anger over the things that I wasn't happy about, Guru Ji helped me to sincerely ask where it was coming from. In general, I started to listen more. I found that much of my struggle was because I didn't want to let go of many of the passing experiences in the world that I would have to let go of anyway. I was replacing the permanent joy with the impermanent things in life. My trust in God was weak. I still re-learn this every day. But I realized that Guru Ji was helping me become a better person by constantly reminding of this. Guru Ji helped me to remain more humble, saying 'the breath can go away at any moment!' I was beginning to appreciate life with more gratitude and Guru Ji was someone who was simply not afraid to make these shortcomings known!
Soon after meeting, Guru Ji read my astrological chart. The subject was enigmatic to me, but Guru Ji cited many particular things from my past, as well as some accurate situations about other family members. He recommended gem stones for my brother and I to wear. We received the stones. I can say it is a bit easier for me to note the changes by observing my brother than by looking at my own self. Shaun began wearing a pearl, and I noticed he became much calmer, focused, confident and settled in his activities since wearing the ring. I noticed this distinct change when he began wearing the the pearl that was blessed for him.
One very special experience happened a year after meeting Guru Ji. At this time I had been wondering whether to visit India or not; there was an extra plane ticket because of a family event happening. But, I could not afford the ticket and there were some family conflicts about my travels. I hadn't been to India in 6 years. Finally it struck me that I should ask Guru Ji for advice. He was very happy to hear about the the India travels, noting that this trip was not a coincidence. He said to visit for a Pooja Abhisek at the Kashi Temple in Benares, which would be a purifying experience. After speaking with Guru Ji, everything just seemed to fall into place, conflicts disappeared, and it had felt that it was the right choice to make the trip to India.
When I had arrived in India in Delhi, I stayed with a cousin of mine who actually has many particular mannerisms similar to Guru Ji, and he was spiritually seeking. I told him about the trip to Benares, and he was happy to make arrangements: as it turned out, his employee's father was the chief of police of Benares! Because of this connection, my father and I went to Benares and were treated very kindly by the townspeople; everything worked clock-like.
My experience in Benares was incredible. We awoke early in the AM for the Abhishek, and during it I felt an extremely strong clarity of the inner voice. Afterwards, I meditated on the river and also felt a particularly unique sense calm there. I sat by the water and had been drawing and writing poetry in a surrendered way where there was no effort whatsoever in the work, unlike I had every experienced with art in the past. I was experiencing deep inner peace!
I am very grateful to have met Guru Ji and the more time that I spend, the more I appreciate what Guru Ji is doing for everyone. I have learned, slowly, to appreciate God in all things, increased love for family and humanity, and a stronger appreciation for the Catholic faith as well. I also go to church, and have felt that knowing Guru Ji, helps me see the commonalities and the beautiful messages that underlie the Christian tradition and vice versa.
Seeing Guru Ji living through action - not just talking about a spiritual life - has been a special experience. Witnessing how Guru Ji acts in various situations, especially in daily life situations that come up, is very helpful. Consciousness is immediately impacted as one can sense the deep experience. He brings the core perspective that reminds of the true nature of things; when the mind is stuck on something selfish, Guru Ji inspires a way to bring it back. His method of speaking with others is extremely clear and candid, which is refreshing.
When being in Guru Ji's direct presence, I can notice that my thinking becomes clearer and my intentions become purer, almost automatically. Feelings become settled like a gentle stream. It is very powerful. With the experience of gained calmness and increased self-discipline in such a way, it is a wonderful positive thing that only helps carry out good into the world experience.
The connection to Guru Ji has been especially valuable, because it is very easy to jump into habits that are self-destructive in order to alleviate temporary pain, if healthy habits are not fully established in one self. It definitely is valuable to know someone like Guru Ji who has a sense of unshakability and deep stillness, which is ever-inspiring on the spiritual road.
Praying for love of God, His entire Universe.

From the time the meditations have begun, there has been a marked change in the way my life has progressed. Meditation has distinctly allowed for much of the mental and emotional excesses to be pushed aside or dissolved. Through the meditative practice, so much becomes a direct positive gain while so many negative aspects of our perspectives simply have no room to exist. The meditation has also given me a much better focus in my thoughts and actions. Meditation offers a way for one to continue facing life's most difficult challenges without seeking outward aid from conventional means. It is one of the greatest gifts I have been given for ultimate calmness and peace of mind.

The jyotish lectures and classes have been very interesting thus far. Having only the exposure of what western media portrays as astrology, I have learned that there is a great depth and dimension to what actual astrology entails. There are very complex algorithms for giving an accurate perspective into ones specific life events and occurrences.
Certain specific experiences had occurred after Guruji's suggestion of my wearing the Guru's sapphire. I remember a specific incident driving on the turnpike leaving New York city, when all of a sudden my car began to spin out of control on the freeway very randomly. My car had finally stopped dead against the oncoming traffic. Those who are familiar with the Jersey turnpike know it is a busy intersection and weekend traffic is always busy. At the moment my car had stopped, there was not a single vehicle on the road. I had returned my correct direction and pulled over to recollect. Once I returned to the freeway traffic began its normal pattern. The most amazing incidents occur when Guruji describes an event to occur on a very specific date, and it does. I was told I would begin my new job at the exact time he told, I received the news. I also made a major cross country move on the exact dates he had predicted. Most noticeably, I have experienced a significant amount of ease in many situations that would always present roadblocks or obstructions usually. This has occurred with the coupling of the sapphire and meditations together. I very specifically remember close to Thanksgiving when Guruji had told my father to get a full cardiac workup done, simply because he had some elevated cholesterol problems, a common issue. He pointed to my dads chest and said he noticed something there in the area of the heart. A few months later, physicians had found 3 of his major arteries blocked at close to 100%, regardless of his medications. This would not have occurred to us normally since he is an athlete in peak condition with strict self control in diet and exercise. We are very grateful for his full recovery and blessings we have received.
I am extremely grateful for Guruji and Gurumatas constant guidance.

Om Ji Sanjay Bhaiyya,
Om ji to all the Bhrigu parivar,
I was connected with Sanjayji in 2007 through Astrology. At that time , i was in between jobs and waiting for a Govt. contract job. Sanjayji asked me to wear Red Ruby and i wore it and the contract came through very quickly.

Later in 2009 I was unemployed for several months and could not get a job local to NJ. I got a consulting job offer for a company in Portland. It was not the one i liked. it was a small Testing job and the pay was also small. So i talked to Sanjayji about this .. he said "For now take this job as Bhrigu Prasad and go to portland but soon i will get a job in my home state (NJ)". So i accepted the job bought a Plane ticket for travel date in 1 week. Then i got an interview call from a local company very close = 1 mile to my home. I did the interview on Monday or tuesday but the result was pending .. they said i would know the result by Thursday . Client did not make a decision till Friday . So i gave up my hopes on that job and packed my bags over the weekend and on Sunday i was getting ready to leave the house to catch flight to Portland and the Recruiter called ( Whoever heard of American recruiters calling you on sunday ) and said i got the job and the start date is in 2 days.
I was excited and i immediately bowed down to my Guru and Bhrigu maharshi. Strange are the ways in which Bhrigu helps his devotees/shishyas.
There are several experiences of my cousin Bobby (his transformation, progress etc) that i have seen with my own eyes and i believe we were meant to be connected with Sanjayji and BHRIGUji.

OM Ji Guruji and Bhrigu Parivaar,
I met Guru Ji while I was living in NY and was visiting a close friend of mine (Rakhi) in Irvine. Rakhi had a meditation/satsang at her home. There were a few other mutual friends present. After the satsang, Guru Ji, met all of us individually to look at our charts and help us with any problems I had. We were all waiting for our turn and I was the last one and when Guru Ji realized that I was the last - He said "Shivani ko Kaise Bhool sakte hai - Shiv ki Vani" I had barely met Guru Ji and had already felt His warmth. A few days Rakhi and I were at Bhrigu Ashram and Guru Ji's instant comment was "I knew you would come." I felt such a strong vibe and love that I remember telling Rakhi after that there is some aura about being around Guru Ji - I was overwhelmed with tears - Just couldnt stop crying. It was a " I am home" type of feeling!
I just finished listening to the "Pariksha" audio - where Guru Ji explains that "Extreme Surrender is required and surrender is not said in words - It is in practise and easier said than done."

My lack of surrender to my Guru had caused a lot of pain last year to my family and I. Guru Ji has mentioned not something very important and had specifically asked me not to go ahead. My ego and resistance told me something else and as Gurudev says, when you have bad karma, you just have to go through it - Karma is the consequence of our actions and I was the one to blame for all the pain I went through. But GuruJi still guided me effortlessly without making me feel guilty.
GuruJi had asked me to wear a Pukraj last year and had gone through so much to send me the stone. I noticed a lot of change in my behavior, actions and overall personality change. To pray before eating, Showing gratitude, Maintaining calmness in the mind, Putting God before anything else, Believing that every action is an action of God - All these disciplines comes from the Guru and truly my Guru has given me the strength to imibibe these qualities. There is still a long long way to go but I feel the change/positivity on a daily basis.
Thank you Gurudev for always teaching and giving us the strength to abide by the principles and guidelines that you fervently try and drill within us. Truly blessed to be under your guidance.

Dear All
Om Ji,
I came in contact with Guruji in the year 2003 through the medium of Jyotisha. I had done a course in astrology and was fascinated by the subject. At that time, I joined this astrology group on Yahoo towards the end of Year 2003 so that I could discuss and learn more from other people. Guruji was there on that group. Lots of people used to ask questions everyday and I remember that Guruji would easily respond to 70-80 people each day with their astrological queries and the analysis would be very deep always starting with the correction of their birth data first! Guruji was like all of us in terms of the family responsibilities, job etc and I was completely amazed at the amount of time he was able to invest in this and the service he was doing to everyone! People were benefitted enormously and we all used to feel so much respect and gratitude towards Guruji.

Apart from the questions related to personal guidance, there were a lot of discussions going-on on astrology as a science. I had been taught by other teachers before. However, with Guruji, Astrology takes a completely different dimension! I remember how each astrological query answered by him was soaked in and based on the uplifting nature of dharma, about how these grahas tell us about our inner being and spiritual progress and how astrology came out as a way to overcome the tangles which we feel around us in some form or the other. Jyotisha taught by Guruji has always uplifted me tremendously and filled me with a positive energy and attitude towards life.
I remember that I used to travel a lot in buses at that time and would feel completely irritated by the crowd there. However, with bhaiya's guidance, I started becoming more accepting and stopped feeling the irritation. I instead used to feel like all these people are my brothers and sisters and we are the children of same God. When i told Guruji about it, he felt very happy and it was then that he accepted me as his shishya
There are numerous instances of his astrological and spiritual guidance in my life. Seven years ago, he predicted that you are meant to come to US. I was a government school teacher at that time and didn't know how it would happen but used to accept all that he said as a blessing. He guided me on career prospects and soon I found myself working in the IT Sector in MNCs in India. With a teaching background not related to IT, it was very difficult to find entry into the IT Sector but with his blessings, my first job was in one of the most prestigious MNC of the world! At the time of writing this testimonial, I am in Seattle, WA State and feel blessed to be in the sanidhya of such a pure, alleviated and loving being.
Before coming to US, when I went for my VISA interview, Guruji told me to wear an Emerald. He gave me one which he had energized. However, I could not get it set in a ring before the interview. My VISA got rejected. I called Guruji and told him that my VISA got rejected and the first thing he asked was – “Did u wear the emerald ring I gave u?” He told me to positively wear the ring before I go the next time. The next time I went there, I wore the ring and got the visa seamlessly! There are endless examples of his jyotish and spiritual guidance in my life and these are just two instances.
In this time, I had reconnected with a high school friend Hetal Kharecha. We shared our perspectives on life and spiritual views. I had learned about Guru Ji, who was friend of the Kharechas. It turned out that Guru Ji and Bhrigu Ashram were also coming from the same Kriya Yoga tradition as Yogananda Ji - the book that I had been reading already. I was excited to meet Guru Ji.
That time came in the Summer of July 2009 when I met Guru Ji. The first days were very difficult for me. It was not exactly what I expected. My ego was greatly challenged on hearing things I didn't think I wanted to hear. I was wondering if Guru Ji really understood me or not.

I was beginning to appreciate life with more gratitude and Guru Ji was someone who was simply not afraid to make these shortcomings known!
His spiritual guidance is the one which holds utmost value in my life. It has brought me more freedom and peace. He helped me recognize my bad habits and work on them. Sometimes, the samskaras that we have are so subtle that we ourselves are not able to identify them. Guruji has indeed been like that potter who beats the pot from outside to give it the right shape but at the same time supports it from inside so that the pot doesn't break. In our Hindu culture, we have so many traditions and sometimes we just follow them blindly without the right bhavana or understanding right meaning behind them. Guruji helped me understand the deep and esoteric principles behind them which started filling all the acts of my life with meaning and joy. The meditation helped me to be more active, efficient and alert in my day to day activities. He always says that even if you falter while doing your meditative practice, you should still persevere. I had never been able to understand the deep meaning and guidance reverberating in our scriptures before he explained them. The shlokas in Bhagavad Gita, Bhagvatam, Patanjali Yoga Sutras suddenly started to carry so much meaning and application in our daily lives.
Guruji, I have so many shortcomings in me and there is a long way to go but with your continuous guidance and love, I feel confident that I am on the right path and will reach the goal someday. The peace and the real joy which we experience when with you cannot be explained in words and that is what connects all of us to you. The quality of this joy is completely different from the happiness that one gets from the material pleasures in the outside world. I feel ever grateful to God to connect me to you.
With deepest love and regards at your lotus feet and ever fortunate to have you as my guru.

After going to the ashram, my whole life in terms of situations and occurrences that used to trouble me are much less. I've been searching for something my whole life that would allow me to be in that peaceful state of mind constantly. Books, medication or a psychologist would not have been able to put me at ease on such an elevated level. This impacts to the core, every cell of your being feels it. That's what makes the experience incomparable to any other.

Meditation has helped me to reach the root cause of what has inflicted much pain and volatility. This path has been the guiding force in helping to shed the excess in life which binds to feelings of depression and negativity.

If My Guru and God himself were to stand in front of me, to whom should I bow first? I choose you my Guru Ji because If you hadn't been there I would have never known what God is.

I met my GuruJi in 2007. I had a desire to know right from wrong and to study the Gita. The first session of Gita swept me off my feet. I felt a strong connection to the Gita and my Guru. It was almost like I had been hearing the Gita from him in the past and that connection had been re-established. Since then, I've been listening to his discourse on Gita/Patanjali Sutra/Jyotish. His discourses are full of amusing stories which make the understanding of the scriptures much easier. He goes in depth and detail to make us understand the hidden meaning of each verse. When he teaches something, it stays with me. The way he teaches, I have a deeper desire and longing to learn more. Listening to his discourse and meditating under his guidance makes me feel closer to God as I am listening to Lord Krishna's pravachans from him. I feel the presence of God in the sense that I don't feel sad, instead I am more at peace and happier inside. I used to be focused on the negatives, now I look at the brighter side of everything.
GuruJi teaches us how to lead a spiritual life while living in family life.And he's a perfect role model for this. Guru Ji teaches us to see God in one and all – its so beautiful.His teachings resonate in my ears - You are the change you want to see in this world; By surrendering to Guru and God, you become one with your Guru and God; be in this world, not of the world; I can go on and on. He is giving us spiritual wisdom continuously – be it through his daily discourses or emails or personal phone calls. He is my 24/7 support line! And all he asks in return is that we meditate daily with love and devotion to Guru and God! Its so touching. I humbly bow down to my Guru for patiently, lovingly, selflessly guiding me constantly on the path to God Realization.
I was excited and i immediately bowed down to my Guru and Bhrigu maharshi. Strange are the ways in which Bhrigu helps his devotees/shishyas.

After a long wait, all 4 of our family members were initiated into the Geet Divya Kriya Yog on the July 4, 2009 at Ithaca, New York retreat by our Guruji Sh. Sanjayji. We all felt the blessings of Shree Maharishi Bhriguji thru him.

I started feeling the inner tranquility after practicing Geet Divya Kriya Yoga and listening to his divine discourses. The 30 + years of business and worldly stress started to go out of me and my physical, mental health improved with increased balance. All my relationships and activities have improved. Things that used to bother me, now bother at a minimum.
Listening to Guruji's divine discourses, my questions got answered before I asked. Every time, different meanings, messages come when I listen to the same discourses. There are so many divine & miraculous experiences that are hard to describe which one can feel and experience only.
OMJI.

OM Ji ,
I originally came to the Bhrigu Ashram to have my astrological chart done because we have little access to Vedic Astrology in Orange County. I am from the Catholic faith tradition, yet I believe that Joytish is divine and a gift from God. In contemporary Western astrology I have felt a certain commercialism and a lack of God awareness.
I was connected with Sanjayji in 2007 through Astrology. At that time , i was in between jobs and waiting for a Govt. contract job. Sanjayji asked me to wear Red Ruby and i wore it and the contract came through very quickly.
Read More
When I arrived at the Bhrigu Ashram I received an astrological reading by Sanjayji, after which I was invited to stay for the Bhrigu Divine Reading. I became aware that I was in a Godly home and that God was at the center of all devotion and study, yet happily, astrology is not excluded, but included as a means of worship and in the seeking of God's world.
Sincerely
Linda

Om Guruji Om Shree Bhriguve Namha Om Shree Baba Ji Namha and Omji to whole Bhrigu Parivaar. It all started in march of 2009 when I entered the Bhrigu Ji Ashram and met Guruji for the first time. I came with my mother. At that time I had very minimum feelings because my mother had already taken me to multiple places so this was like another one I thought so but this time I was wrong. My history has lasted almost 15+ years in all the wrong actions which were not only wrong in society but also in Gods way.
I got initiated into Kriya same year. All I know is it has to be my Gurujis Kripa and his love that kept bringing me back to his Lotus feet. Guruji and Gurumataji have never let me leave the Ashram hungry. Guruji and some of the Bhriguji Parivaar devotees know what problems I had if some who don't can call Guruji and he can tell. Guruji the path and love you have given me I can never express in words. After the initiation Guruji told me to do Kriya with love and devotion to God and masters .
Read More
Guruji also recommended neelam gem which I got after that meditation was regular for one year. Myself and all the loved ones saw a change in my whole attitude. Even I was thinking this is too good to true but it was happening. There was hardly a day passed without calling Guruji. Relationships, work everything started moving in right direction except for little struggles which life brings. Guruji, it was a complete U turn the way I was leading my life. Me and my brother whom I hardly use to talk in the past would eagerly wait for every Friday for Gurujis Satsangs and share lot of experiences on our way to the Ashram.
Guruji I really don't know how to put this in words. I still have long ways to go but without your and Gods hand over my head it is not possible. This year finally I got diamond which Guruji had also told me to wear. When Guruji chose the diamond and told me to wear it he also told me to not wear the neelam then for next few days I kept thinking why Guruji told me to take neelam off this is called( DOUBT). Guruji there are lot of avagunas in me but only with your and Gods Kripa that U turn is very possible.
Even till today I get that same shanti when I am at the Ashram with you and Bhrigu Ji Parivaar. When I think I know it then there comes the pitfall. Guruji with all my heart I say I need your loving guidance for ever. Doubting leads me to false impressions. Like said earlier I can never express the love and guidance you have given all of us. Guruji I can go on and on about the path you have shown us.
Humbly bowing down in your lotus feet and always praying for more love and faith towards you and God. Guruji before I met you I did not care about others, family and myself that's all and it was not possible without your love, guidance and Kripa.
Again in your lotus feet
yours
param.

|| OM BHRIGUVE NAMAH ||
OMji,
I would like to share with you a brief summary of how my life has changed for the better after finding my Guru. Let me start from the beginning. I was a simple person, getting up everyday doing my daily routine, living pay check to pay check and trying to do my duties for my family. I was living my life worrying of what tomorrow will bring along my way. My life was happy on the outside but burning up inside with a sense of emptiness. I was going through a very difficult phase in my life. On August 12th 2007 my brother introduced me to my Guru Shri Sanjay Aggarwal. I joined a conference call and Guruji asked me for my birth details. After an extensive conversation, Sanjayji said that I would get some good news within 9 days and he asked me to chant a mantra. On August 19th 2007, I received a job offer that was a turning point in my career.
Read More
I realized that there are two categories of people; one who believes everything is based on luck and the other who believes that everything happens according to GOD's Plans. I knew the path ahead of me was not an easy one but at least I will have my Guruji with me to talk me through it. I started reading Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yoganandaji with wisdom and understanding.
My family and I are really blessed by Shri Bhrigu Maharishi that we were given the opportunity to attend the first Meditation Retreat in December 2007, fighting against all odds. We were not financially equipped, I was suffering with severe stomach ache and on the day of travel our apartment roof started leaking. My Guruji said, your name is already in the register, GOD is testing to find whether his devotees are sincere or not. At the retreat I took my first lessons in meditation from my Guruji. Since then, a whole world of inner guidance has opened up. During my meditation sessions, I saw a pale blue orb then it suddenly expanded around my vision. This was my first experience of `The Light of GOD'. I had felt the presence of `THE ALMIGHTY', and with that presence, came an immense supernatural joy. My eyes and ears were suddenly opened. Things seemed different to me. My heart would be filled with so much love for people, appreciation for the trees and birds chirping, the sun shining. I was made aware of my true existence. The meditation retreats that I have attended with my Guruji are healing, nurturing and transformative experiences, and I highly recommend them. Each retreat has been subtly different because the issues, concerns, pains that I brought were different, but I was always moved, transformed, grounded, renewed, soothed, energized and refreshed.
I was initiated into Geeta Divya Kriya Yoga in September 2008. Ever since my life just seems clearer, like more light can come into my space. Guruji always says that the purpose of human life is to progress towards perfection in the realization of our "True-Self." GOD is within you. Maybe we take to many things for granted in not knowing the full impact caused by our foolish actions...words, or even our thoughts. Guruji says if we are to progress spiritually we have to look deeper within ourselves, in this way we will discover the good and the bad which we house within, then pray with true love and devotion to GOD and request to discard the bad which in turn will help remove the obstacles that block our path to GOD realization. Then with GOD's grace we may attain "Moksha" or "Liberation of the Soul." The best we can do is to sow the seeds by meditating everyday, with full love, devotion and leave the rest to THE LORD ALMIGHTY. Geeta Divya Kriya Yoga practice becomes firmly rooted when it is cultivated skillfully and continuously for a long period of time. For those who seek liberation wholeheartedly, realization is near.
Guruji asked me to wear an Emerald when I was in between jobs from November 2009 to January 2010. I got a job in January 2010 in Delaware. I got a better job in April 2010 and this was even closer to my home. In August 2010, I wore a Blue Sapphire. Since the moment I started wearing the gemstones recommended by our Guruji and blessed by Mata Brahma Jyotiji, things started becoming clearer to me and I know what to do. I'm feeling more balanced and open minded and my boundaries are well placed. There has been a big shift in my life. Life is really good! I believe the gemstones played a very big part in changing my life for the better.
If not for you Guruji, I would not be were I am on my spiritual journey. I don't know if I would have even started this journey without connecting with you and I feel blessed. I humbly bow down to my Guru, Mata Brahma Jyotiji and Shri Bhrigu Maharishi and seek their divine grace and blessings.
Thank you all.

OM Ji, Pranams and Charansparsh to Guruji,
and OM Ji & Pranams to everyone in Bhrigu Darbar,
2010 Annual Bhrigu West Coast Retreat has been a life changing experience for us. For the last few years, we were experiencing a void somewhere deep down in our hearts and minds, I remember several occasions where myself and Sushma would keep discussing till late in the night as to why we are in USA and why we are doing what we were doing in life. Inspite of having job, family, house, happiness, etc., there was no satisfaction and we would feel something is missing in life. We attempted to do several things like running a business, buying a house, traveling etc., and the void was still present. I used to take up extremely challenging projects in order to immerse myself into work and get the satisfaction of doing something worthwhile, though this path was giving me satisfaction, but I knew the void is still there and moreover Sushma was being left behind, and the corporate environment would again lead me to think that it is not worth while to try achieving satisfaction by doing challenging projects as it did not seem to matter in the overall scheme of things and did not seem to be the true purpose of life.
Read More
Then we tried reading lot of spiritual books, and though on the surface it would seem that we were understanding the sacred texts, but we both knew there has to be a deeper meaning and only a Guru would be able to explain the teachings of our spiritual texts and lead us on the path towards enlightenment. Sushma tried to connect to two other groups to start Meditation and Yoga. The groups were good, but somehow we did not gel in. So, in short, we knew there has to be a deeper meaning to human life than the normal routine that we were following.
Around this time, Vinay emailed us a flyer that Guruji was coming to his house in NJ (we sincerely thank Vinay & Anita for opening the door for us to meet Guruji). We felt blessed as soon as we got initiated in Kriya Yoga late last year and had no doubts in our mind that we found the Guru we have been seeking for. For the first few months the practice was regular and we felt we were on the right track, but then life caught up with us and the Kriya Yoga practice was not regular. After Guruji's next visit, we got back in track and though we have a long way to go, we at least had the satisfaction that we were on the right track. Nothing in life gives more peace and happiness than being at Guruji's feet and listening to Guruji speak. We were truly blessed to be able to go to the 2010 Annual Bhrigu West Coast Retreat, and receive the initiation into second level of Kriya Yoga, and to be able to experience the real self and be able to understand the true meaning of the statement "God created us in His image". The four days passed like four minutes and before we knew the retreat came to an end, and we were saddened at the thought of leaving. Each moment at this retreat gave us an inner peace, happiness, and the energy that we have been seeking all the time. Gurumata's bhajans and Guruji's words are still echoing in our ears everyday, and encouraging us each morning to find the inner strength to discipline ourselves to wake up and practice the Kriya Yoga regularly. The retreat helped us to understand the significance of correct technique of Kriya Yoga, and get a deeper insight into the purpose of human life, it has helped strengthen our resolution to walk the path of Kriya Yoga and to make a sincere attempt on a daily basis to not only do the Kriya Yoga but also to try and go deeper in Paravastha each day. The retreat also helped us to understand that it is ok not to experience light and it is normal for the mind to keep running away unconsciously, and to understand the point that as we Meditate the past Karma is being burnt and each new day takes us a little closer to our ultimate goal of God realization. We also had the opportunity to stay at Bhrigu Ashram, and experience the selfless giving of Guruji, Gurumata, Mark, and everyone in Bhrigu Darbar. Going to the mountains to look at the site of our upcoming Bhrigu Ashram was amazing. We all need to do whatever it takes on our part to get the job done to accomplish the goal of building the Bhrigu Ashram. With the blessings of Guruji, and God, extraordinary things are destined to happen and the lives of everyone in Bhrigu Darbar is going to change for the good forever, and we all will play the predestined roles in Bhrigu Ashram with Guruji's guidance.
In short, the retreat helped us (lost souls) to connect, to belong and to realize the true purpose of life and have the opportunity and means to work towards achieving the true purpose of life.
After meeting Guruji, and listening to his teachings at the retreat, I'm sure everyone in Bhrigu Darbar would agree to one thing: that at the end of life, we cannot complain that we did not have an opportunity to meet a spiritual Guruji who could have shown the way and explain the true purpose of life, and guide us on what we needed to do on our part.
Bowing with Love and Devotion on to the Lotus feet of Guruji and God,

Om Ji Guruji,
Humbly bowing down at Thy feet. Please forgive and guide if have written in error.
Last year, the end of 2010, was a very stressful and tumultuous year for myself. Had a lot of tension in relationship between parents and had a break in a relationship. Came to the ashram in tears. Guruji recommended to wear the pukraj. At the time, it was difficult to get the pukraj immediately, so Guruji recommended wearing the meena for the time being. As soon as wore the meena, felt a sense of calm and peace. There was less anxiety and felt less emotional as well. After some time, through divine grace, wore the pukraj and immediately after wearing there were several changes that took place amongst my relationships; the tension between parents was gone and things started getting a lot better. There was more harmony, and the conflict that existed before was gone. After wearing the meena through the grace of Guru, also connected with my to be husband. After wearing the pukraj, things about my marriage started coming to play

There were several miraculous events that took place after this. Went to a Bhrigu Divine reading. During the reading, it was said that after December 15th, there would be progress towards my marriage. Shortly after, my to be husband said he wanted to see me (he is out of state). Had not told him about the reading at the time. He had just seen me a short time ago the same month, and now was saying he wanted to come see me soon. The ticket he booked was around December 17th. There were some weather problems where he lives and his flight got delayed, so he came right before Christmas. During that time, parents wanted to meet him, and we did and somehow at the time, after meeting them, we discussed with them that we wanted to get married. We had not planned to disucss this with them that night at dinner, but somehow the conversation flowed right to that. After he left, wedding planning started amongst both our sets of parents. Later had come to the ashram, had gone for Bhrigu Divine Reading. Guruji had thrown the stones that signified the number 7, which is the number for vivaaha. Guruji had guided that our marriage would be peaceful and would be happy. Our wedding date was fixed after that. Will be getting married this coming July. Know that this is only through the grace and blessings of Maharishi Bhrigu and Guruji. Maharishi Bhrigu and Guruji guided every step of the way. Guruji's words have gone deep and reflect in all that has happened in the last couple months. Guruji has also guided that it is only through the grace of the Guru. He had said that 100 percent faith and surrender is necessay and to leave everything to Guruji, and he will take care. Realize the power of His words today, and feel very blessed.

Testimonial by Kishor Kharecha(kak4466@msn.com) on June 4th, 2011 - Astrological Experience
When 25 years of hard worked successful business was falling apart, many inner signs and external advices led me towards ASTROLOGY. So many top astrologers were consulted in India and the USA. They pretty much described the charts, dashas and the remedies which did not help my deteriorating situation at all.

The successful business was gone despite following all the prescribed remedies. Soon after, I survived 3 stroke attacks miraculously. But the mental and physical health had taken its toll. Despite all the efforts, no changes came in health and career. Meanwhile, our Guruji, Sh. Sanjayji had been astrologically and spiritually guiding us. All his readings were precise and predictions have been coming true. He had asked me to remove my red coral and yellow sapphire rings. First, he prepared me a new red coral stone ring and soon after I wore it, I received my first job as he predicted. Then we moved from PA (37 years) to CA as he predicted. I've come thru some serious heart problems that were built up over the years from business stress. After he prepared me a new yellow sapphire ring, my last heart procedure went miraculously smooth and painless. Recoveries in health, career, spirituality and life are simply mind blowing for our entire family.
Seeing these types of things happening with so many people in front of our eyes is truly amazing.

Testimonial by Kulu on October 2nd, 2011
The following is my humble and sincere effort to narrate and reflect on some of the astounding experiences that I have recently experienced over the last few months but have not yet been able to logically understand them.
In April 2011, I was introduced to Shree Sanjay Aggarwal thru a personal friend, who had then in turn, further apprised me about the philosophies and practices of Shree Maharishi Bhriguji Maharaj and the teachings of Geeta. Ever since then, various incidents of strange nature have been evolving around me and I truly cannot say that I understand much of it.
Read More
After a prolonged illness my father had recently left for his heavenly abode towards the end of August, 2011. Following that, I had immediately left for India and had concluded various rites and rituals which without a doubt were very exhausting, emotionally and physically. Upon completion of all ceremonies, on September 3, 2011 around 1:15 pm, I started back for home in US and had rented an Indian version of a Toyota SUV from a reliable and known person, from my home town in Haryana.
As we were driving towards Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, about four and a half hours away, I was feeling very sleepy and exhausted. I was accompanied by my Aunt who had also come to visit our family, from overseas, after a very long time. While she continued to chit chat with me, I could barely keep my eyes open and cat napped all along. Around 3:00 pm I dropped her off in a town called Rohtak and continued on my journey towards New Delhi.
As luck would hold for me, as soon as I had got out of Rohtak, around 3:30 pm the clutch of my rented (stick shift) SUV failed and I was stranded on the highway, with all my heavy luggage items, in middle of nowhere. I was very upset as I had planned to visit another Aunt in New Delhi, who also had been very ill over this past year and still be at the airport on time for my flight. Now the chances of either one looked very bleak.
The driver of my SUV diligently tried to get another car for me or to stop any other car going towards New Delhi but nothing worked out for an hour or so, even though hundreds of cars went by. As I was giving up my hopes in desperation another SUV came by which was registered in Punjab and was driven by a Sikh gentleman named Raj (name changed for purpose of anonymity). As he pulled up further down the highway, my driver ran up to his car and requested him to give me a ride to New Delhi or still better to the airport.
Even though Raj himself was going to New Delhi airport yet, he was quite skeptical in offering a ride due to recent incidents of robbery and plundering on the highways of India by unknown drivers and/or passengers of auto cars. After my driver convinced him by vouching for my good character, Raj walked over to my SUV to personally talk to me but as he saw my big hulk come out of the SUV, he just turned around and walked back to his car. He told my driver that he would definitely not take me in his car as I seemed to be a guy with a very intimidating personality. Only after my driver again persuaded Raj that I was nothing short of a gentleman, to my relief, he finally agreed to give me a ride to the airport. I was very happy and as I settled in his SUV I promised him some extra money too.
As we were driving down the road and getting to know each other little better, I suddenly noticed a small picture of Shree Maharishi Bhriguji Maharaj on his dashboard. When I asked him as to whose picture it was he confirmed it was his guru Shree Maharishi Bhriguji Maharaj’s picture, who had changed his life from desperation to peaceful and fulfilling over a very short period of time. I was quite surprised of the coincidence that amid such confusion and distress I had ran into somebody who represents the same line of faith.
During further discussion he revealed that he often goes to Maharishi Bhriguji’s Center/Temple in Moga (in the northern state of Punjab) and is very close to the Punditji over there. He then told me that there is someone by name of Sanjay who had visited Moga Bhrigu Center and also has an ashram in USA that is devoted to Shree Maharishi Bhriguji Maharaj. I asked him if he was talking of Sanjay Aggarwal from California and he acknowledged by saying yes and was seemingly quite animated. I told him that I not only know Sanjayji but had also recently met him in NJ. I also showed him the ring on my finger that was recommended and procured by Sanjayji for me.
Raj was very happy to know that and then narrated some of the astounding things that Punditji from Moga Center had said about Sanjayji. Conversation soon became of a very personal nature and he even got me to talk to Punditji in Moga Center using his own cell phone. When Punditji from Moga was apprised of all that had happened that day he blessed me and shared a lot many other things relative Sanjayji. He also said, “Don’t take this event as an incidental happening of your life, as it was deliberated by Bhriguji Maharaj and was destined to be so; as Bhriguji possibly wanted to be your ‘Saarthi’ for the day and had possibly prevented some other major mishap of your life.” Punditji spoke at length about the karma and cycle of life and death.
After a very hearty discussion with Raj I finally got to the airport and then safely got back to US on September 5th, 2011. On the evening of September 23, 2011 I met with our guru Sanjayji and narrated the incident from my India trip. To my surprise most of the things Guruji said, even the ones that were of very personal nature and I had not even talked about, were almost identical to what Punditji had said in India. During that weekend I had spoken to Punditji in India a couple of times and had also received a Bhrigu Vani reading from him. Again to my surprise, it was almost identical to the Bhrigu Vani reading that I had received from Sanjayji ten thousand miles away in USA over the same weekend. In all honesty I do not have any logical explanation for any of these experiences. All that can be said is that it is BhriguJi operating at both the places so how can there even be a discrepancy?! Guruji took care of me when I got stuck in ways unknown and I was fortunate enough to even receive bhrigu ji’s blessings.
During my lifetime I have come across many a spiritual leaders and gurus yet the events, experiences and inner reflections that I have undergone over this short period of time have no other parallel. With the stories that I have heard of and the experiences of my past, no doubt I had certain reservations relative to modern age gurus and religious institutions but learning about the philosophies, practices and teachings of Maharishi Bhriguji Maharaj, comprehensive essence of Geeta and Kriya Yoga Sadana with our guru Sanjayji has again initiated me to look within, contemplate and meditate on the self. These kind of incidents cannot be counted as a mere co-incidence! It is definitely God’s plan of moulding our lives in a positive direction operating through the rishis and the Gurus. I do believe that with Guruji’s guidance, blessings and compassion we will be successful in our spiritual journey and will be grounded in eternal peace and tranquility.

Om Ji,
I am thrilled to share my experience with Sanjay Ji. Both myself and my husband met Guruji late 2009 upon request from one of our dear friend Balaji. When I met him I was quite hesitant. I sat in the satsang at our friend's house and it really felt very good and peaceful. Guruji's satsangas always bring lots of peace within.

My husband and I later on got to meet Guruji one on one. We both were going through a tough phase. My husband had just sold his business and was looking for some direction in his life so he spoke to Guruji personally. Guruji predicted few things that were going to happen based on astrology. It was really like a miracle. So many things Guruji mentioned came TRUE! It was quite unbelievable!! We kept seeing Guruji whenever he would come to NJ. His prediction on the birth of our baby was spot-on! Our son is the biggest joy of our world and has filled our lives with so much of happiness. I want to thank Guruji with all my heart for all his guidance.
In the past, Guruji had guided me and my husband to wear rings according to our horoscopes. It has benefited both of us a lot. This year after my pregnancy when I underwent a surgery and had to take out my rings that I had been wearing for so long, my back pain came right back. As soon as I wore the rings back, the back pain disappeared. Isn't that something!!!
For the non-believers out there, it could be a series of coincidences, but so many together could only be a miracle.
Thank you a lot Guruji.
