1. I participated in a service called “Secret Acts of Kindness” from www.sivababa.org. One can pay a person in India to write 10,008 mantras for another person. This benefits the receiver even though he/she doesn’t know about it. The mantra writer also gets the benefits of writing mantras and earns some much needed income. I ordered 10,008 mantras for job/money for a friend who lost his job and didn’t have the money to pay rent which was due in one week. Two days later, the friend got a decent job with a positive work environment and was able to start work the following day! He was able to pay the rent and move on with his life in a positive way.

2. I ordered 10,008 general mantras for someone who had an interview for his application to become a U.S. citizen. He had his interview 4 days later. The interview was long and emotionally difficult, but he did pass.

3. I was sending a package in the mail to a relative who has been in poverty and ill-health for a long time. At the last minute, I put a package of vibhuti into the box. The relative doesn’t know anything about vibhuti. I wasn’t able to talk to him until about a month later. I called him to explain what the vibhuti was and how to use it. My relative had misplaced the package of vibhuti somewhere in his apartment. To my delight, he told me about two miracles that happened since he received the package. He had really wanted to go on two trips, but didn’t have the money. For the first trip, a club he is a part of decided to pay his expenses so he can attend. For the second trip, he wanted to return to his hometown after many years away. An old friend cashed in his frequent flier miles and used them to buy an airplane ticket for my relative.
