helpful has been his presence. The effort to live in my higher self has dawned on me only because of Muniji Maharajji's teachings. It is like being born again. He is turning my life into devotion and a prayer.
About 5 years ago, I saw Maharajji Muniji Shree in my house - astral travelling. He appeared as a small figure about one foot high, and was seated meditating in the lotus asana. Lo and behold! It was a wonderful sight to see; and then his celestial voice said: Your name is Shobhna. What is your mission in life? Where are you going? That was my awakening moment. My Master had come to lead me. When I had the fortune of his darshan next, after about 2 months, I spoke to him of this incident; Maharajji Muniji Shree said he has come to my house many times.

Maharajji Muniji Shree's presence is accompanied by a splendid fragrance many a time. Once I was taking a big picture of Maharajji Muniji Shree to my friend's house for a pooja for the next day. Within seconds my car was full of Maharajji Muniji Shree's fragrance which stayed in the car for several days.
He has blessed me with the "Mahamantra Namokar Mantra". The nectar and blessings and protection pouring from the chanting of this Mahamantra are amazing and have helped my family and me tremendously from obstacles.
