On date 10/2/2013 at 1:30PM, we all goan Hare Krishna devotees had gone for a picnic at Gokul dham at Chikli,Karnataka . We reached there at around 12:15 pm.We all devotees went inside the gokul dham temple and performed dhandvet pranam to Shri Shri Gour Nithai and after we performed nice kirtan.Later,a nice lecture was given by gokul dham bramhachari. After finishing the lecture,we visited the entire Gokul dham and also visited the goshaala.Later,all 70 devotees sat in the bus and left for the prashadan to a nearby place.The entire journey was through a big forest and we sang “Narsimha Bhagwaan” aarti n other chants.
While on the journey,there was a deep downhill.Incase any untoward incident had occured,nobody would have been alive..thats for sure.Unfortunately,the bus breaks failed,and we were helpless.One thing was sure..that the bus would have gone and fallen deep inside a gorge.
Suddenly,all devotees shouted “narshima bhagwan”s name together.We could not think of any other thing except chanting His name.The moment we took Bhagwaan’s name, the bus miraculously turned towards the non-danger end of the hill and we all were saved.The driver later said that he had lost all the hope of survival if any. This was the first incident of any such kind in my life.I was sitting in the cabin and i saw death so close that i can’t explain in words.All these days,i used to just hear Bhagwaan’s incidents in ur lectures.But that moment,i got first hand experience all about what Bhagwaan really is.Our fate is decided by Bhagwaan and nobody else.Bhagwaan can decide and change our destiny by his will. And i won’t forget Gurumaharaj,your Ashirwaad and Prabhupaad’s krupa. We realised that all of Bhagwaan Shri Krishna’s avtaar came to our rescue. I was so excited to narrate this once in a lifetime incident to you.Hence this email. Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj Your disciple Premi Krishna Das
