Have a blissful "Attitude of Gratitude"

We need to have the attitude of gratitude to live a happy and blissful life. God has blessed us with lots of good precious things. We need to appreciate the good things that God have blessed us and be content with our life. If you want to feel rich, count the things that money can't buy. So only It is told that "Count your blessings" always.

If you have good food, clean drinking water, roof on top, neat dress to wear, decent job, good friends and loving family members then you are one of the blessed souls in the top 3 percent population. Do you know that the things that you take it for granted someone is praying for.

It is not the HAPPY people who are THANKFUL. It is the THANKFUL people who are HAPPY. Focus on the good and celebrate life with the blessings which GOD have already given.

Robert Emmons, author of Thanks!: How the New Science of Gratitude Can Make You Happier, strongly emphasis that having a gratitude journal and writing in it daily, can significantly increase well-being and life satisfaction.

In "The Happy Zen" whatsapp group, we have conducted a "Gratitude Challenge" and requested our members to write the things and persons whom they are grateful in their life.

"Sai Krishna" - A Divine blessing from God

In this post, I would like to share my real-life experience about how GOD have been very kind and blessed us a divine baby. 

Once we decided to have a divine baby, me and my wife have performed nine weeks Sai-Baba Vrat from March 2015 onwards. Followed by the Vrat, on 14th May 2015 we have performed a special "Sai Baba Pooja" at our home. 

Then, we visited the Doddamallur Sri Navaneetha Krishna temple [ Approx 65 Kms from Bangalore on the way to Mysore ] on 16th May 2015. Sri Navneetha Krishna Temple became very famous after the famous Astrologer, Editor of famous Tamil Weekly "KUMUDHAM  JOTHIDAM" Sri A M Rajagopalan Swamy has been advocating this temple to manifest a divine child for the couples. Lots and lots of couples have been blessed with a divine child after visiting this spiritual place. 

Within 48 days after performing the "Saibaba Pooja" and visiting the Krishna temple, my wife's pregnancy is confirmed. We are delighted by the divine blessings and Thanked God for answering our prayers. 

With the blessings of the God, we have been blessed with a divine baby boy on 10th Feb 2016. Inorder to show gratitude towards God, we have performed a Thanksgiving "Sai-Baba Pooja" on May 12th 2016 and named our divine son as "Sai Krishna". 

As requested by Shirdi Sai Baba, we need to have "FAITH" and "PATIENCE" with GOD to manifest magics and mircales in your life. Once you put your desire to the Lotus feet of the God with pure devotion, it will be manifested soon by the will of the God at the right time. 

If your faith is pure, Magics and Miracles will happen for sure. 

The Happy Zen Speaks : 
I am not recommending you to believe only Shirdi Sai or Krishna. I strongly believe in Shirdi Sai words "Sabka Malik ek" [ God is One]. You can pray to Allah, Jesus or Lord Shiva, etc. Finally, all your prayers goes to one God who is formless, Omnipotent and Omnipresent. I have written this article to inform everyone that, GOD listens to everyone sincere prayers. Believe in GOD and have trust in his plan and process.

Senthil - Divine Experience at Shirdi Sai Temple Pondicherry

In the below post, I would like to share the divine experience from our happy zen friend Senthil at Shirdi Sai temple at Pondicherry. 

"I used to do all the techniques u mentioned except meditation. In my life for the first time, yesterday I meditate before Shirdi saibaba for about 10 minutes. A miracle happened. Usually I used to go sai temple in evening, where I vl get prasadams or flowers. Yesterday I was upset & I went to sai temple I didn't get any blessings in form of prasadam or flowers. 

Then only I came to know that , morning there is no practice of giving prasads or flowers in the temple. For the first time I just sit & meditate before saibaba . after sometime I stood & about to leave. At the time I leave, iyer requested me to wait & surprisingly he gave me a beautiful garland. I shocked.  And I am glad to receive tat. This was the first time I meditate I receive a garland, wen no one vl be bestowed with flowers in the morning. Ohm Sai Ram"

From the above incident, it is very clear that God listens to everyone's sincere prayers. Shirdi Sai had given the garland to Senthil as a token that his prayers will be answered. 

If your faith is pure, miracles will happen for sure. Have FAITH and PATIENCE and all your prayers will be manifested for sure with the Divine's blessings. Om Sai Ram.
