Relationship Miracles
For two years I have been following Dattatreya’s teachings. At first I started by adding a few rituals to my usual spiritual practices. But soon I incorporated most of the mantras and remedies suggested by Baba, including pujas and fire rituals at Astroved. My main problem in life has been in relationships. At one time, I was separated from my life partner. I wanted reconciliation, he didn’t. I prayed constantly for a happy outcome in this relationship. One day, I felt almost desperate and decided to write, daily, 1008 times my wish of being with my partner followed by Om Siva Baba. As Baba teaches, I did this for 45 days. I was skeptical all the time during this practice, which took all day, especially because all the while my ex partner kept repeating that he would never get back together with me. But I was willing to try anything. Writing the mantras gave me an amazing opportunity to observe my mind. I was shocked when I noticed that most of the thoughts arising were negative–a mixture of sad memories of failed relationships and painful episodes in my life. After a few weeks, also good memories started to arrive. I kept writing in a daze. On the 44th day, as I was praying to the picture of Dattatreya, I heard his voice loud in my mind: “You won.” I was startled. But later, when I spoke on the phone to my partner, there was no indication that he had changed his mind. On the 45th day, before I could even finish the 1008 mantras, he called me and asked me to get back together and join him in his city (miles away from mine). I remember crying so much from joy. Unfortunately, the problems that had caused our separation had not disappeared. We separated again. And again, I naively tried my best to return to him. He refused, and I suffered from the most painful rejection I can remember in my life. After a very difficult year–in which I literally prayed day and night, sleeping only 2 or 3 hours per night–I was on the verge of a physical and mental breakdown. My ex was unmoved and verbally abused me every time we spoke. Despite this I still loved him. Then one day, with one last shred of strength, and after experiencing physical pain in my heart muscle and chest, I prayed to Baba’s picture: “Baba, I have done everything possible for happiness in this relationship. I am about to collapse. Please take me back to him tomorrow, or immediately find a new partner for me. I can’t take this pain anymore.” The next day I met the most wonderful man I could ever imagine. He was everything I had ever wanted in a relationship: very spiritual, gentle, intelligent and amazingly handsome. He even told me that once, after the end of his marriage, he chanted mantras daily for 18 consecutive hours. He was clearly my soulmate. Thank you Dattatreya Siva Baba. For many years I prayed to God to bring me a Guru–a truly enlightened master–to guide me on my path. It happened when I met Siva Baba.
