Your sincerity has the power to move God

I love reading some of these true experiences of the saints and enlightened beings as they are so inspiring! Here are 3 beautiful accounts of how one’s sincerity can literally move God!

Story of Ramanuja and his Lord Vishnu deity.

This is an interesting happening in Ramanuja acharya’s life, a south Indian philosopher who helped to consolidate the Visistadvaita Vedanta (qualified non-dualism) School of Hindu philosophy and is renowned as a saint by the Sri Vaisnava branch of Hinduism. According to Hindu legend, his parents prayed for a son, and it is said that the Hindu god, Lord Vishnu incarnated himself as Ramanuja. As a child, Ramanuja demonstrated an aptitude for philosophy.

One day, one of the Mughal Kings had come to Ramanuja’s small village and had completely pillaged everything in it, including Ramanuja’s favourite deity of Lord Vishnu. Ramanuja went to the Mughal King and managed to convince him to give it back to his deity. The Mughal King agreed and took him to a vast storage area where hundreds and hundreds of deities were stored. Ramanuja just called out “Chellai Pillai” (meaning ‘Come back, My Beloved’ in Tamil) and immediately his beloved deity of Lord Vishnu came into his arms from the piles of deities in the storeroom.

When you think Ishwara (Existence), do you feel it is too far to be able to touch it? Too vast to behold? Too difficult to understand or grasp?

A new way of living with awakened 3rd Eye

Three months after the initiation into the 3rd eye awakening by Swamiji, Paramahamsa Nithyananda, how has life been?

Honestly, I am still learning a new way of living and being with this gift of an awakened 3rd eye. It is said in many spiritual records that an activated Agna chakra, 3rd eye (which coincides with the pineal gland) opens up many possibilities to experience other dimensions or frequencies of the spiritual world. It means one treads in the zone of the Unknown – God consciousness. Swamiji declared that man plus 3rd eye equals to God.
