Starting today I have decided to start a series on my encounters with God. Most of these incidents would sound like plain co-incidence to many. Probable. But to me these are those small incidents that strengthen my belief about His presence, renew my faith on Him and keeps me ensured of His infinite benevolence towards the good.

To be more precise, actually I want to keep a log, of how many such con-incidences can actually happen in ones life! For I have experienced them so very often. Are all of them mere co-incidences? Or the being of the Supreme Power is established by it?

I would like to have all the readers' views and comments to enrich my strong beliefs and little knowledge.

Before starting with my experiences, I think, I should also give a fair idea of God as I believe in:

I do not visualise my God in any form, shape or idol. Therefore, quite naturally, I do not wish to attach any “He/She/It” to my God. Its only for the ease of writing in the English language that I would refer to Him as “He”, as has been done conventionally. Otherwise, in my mother tongue, in which I do all the thinking and also  interact with my God, I have a word that does not differentiate between a ‘he’ or a ‘she’ thereby making it easier for me to refer.

Also, I do not attach many religious strings to the relationship I have with my God. I do have enough respect for the learned and enlightened religious disciples of Him who are doing the preaching work to their best and claim to have improved the lives of their self as well as many of their followers. I genuinely enjoy listening to them from time to time and also try to follow some of their golden words. But predominantly I limit myself to simply acknowledging the presence of the Supreme Being, the Omnipotent, and have faith in Him and not bind myself much with the conventional religious activities of the God-fearing community.

A Special Note:

All said and done, however, I must admit my weakness for one particular religious figure – the witty, naughty, super intelligent, super human, the sea-of knowledge, the so-called complete incarnation of the Lord, – the one & only Bhagwaan Sri Krsna ! Just love Him. This may be because I have seen the lives of a lot of people around me, whom I respect a lot, being immensely influenced by the great “Bhagavad Geeta”.  I have not read it though except this one sloka:

“Karmanyevadhikaraste ma phaleshu kadachana,

Ma karmaphalaheturbhura Matesangostvakarmani”
