Finding Joy Beyond Monday Blues

Monday blues were in full swing today. Deadlines waiting, tasks piling up, crowded trains, honking vehicles, and a restless mind. Today was no different. On my way to the office, I was consumed by stress and irritation worrying about the day ahead, annoyed at my team’s errors, and battling the chaos of a busy street.

As I was hurrying across a tricky road where vehicles rarely slow down, something unexpected happened. Two little street kids pointed towards me. At first, I didn’t understand. I walked a few steps ahead, then turned back and realized — they were asking for help to cross the road.

I immediately walked back, held their hands, and guided them across. What struck me in that moment was not just the children’s trust but also the line of vehicles that actually waited for us until we were safe. For once, the world seemed to pause so that two little kids could safely cross.

The stress of the morning melted into a quiet smile. That small act brought an instant happiness and dissolved all my stress. It reminded me that even on the busiest days, joy hides in simple moments of kindness. Sometimes, helping someone else is the best way to help ourselves.

The Divine Timing of Swayambhagwan Trivikram’s Grace

This Ram Navami 2025, as I opened the book Swayambhagwan Trivikram Anant Namavali, written by my beloved Sadguru Dr. Aniruddha Joshi (Bapu) and published by Anjaneya Publications in 2023, I felt an overwhelming sense of divine timing. I had purchased the book back in 2023 on the occasion of Ram Navami, yet it remained unread until today that is Ram Navami 2025—exactly two years later. Was this merely a coincidence, or was it Trivikram’s unique way of guiding me to its pages precisely when I needed it the most?

Recently, discussions around karma, past-life sins, and their impact on my present had been occupying my thoughts. And just as I opened the book, the very first Namavali appeared before me was:

“ॐ त्रिविक्रमाय नमः”

Along with it, there was a powerful statement by Bapu:

“Trivikram’s speed can never be stopped by anyone, at any time, anywhere, or by any means. Therefore, my sins and destiny cannot prevent Him from entering my life.”

These words struck me deeply. Often, we find ourselves burdened by our past actions, questioning whether our mistakes and sins have distanced us from divine grace. But this statement was a firm reassurance—no force, no past deed, no sin can prevent Lord Trivikram from entering our lives. His grace is beyond any limitations, just like His three great gaint steps that encompassed the universe.

We have heard this truth from Bapu himself during Thursday discourses, yet in the chaos of daily life, we tend to forget. Doubts creep in, and we start believing that our past mistakes define us. But Trivikram’s grace is unstoppable. He does not wait for us to become ‘worthy’—His love is unconditional. (Visit https://aniruddha-devotionsentience.com/ for more details)

Reading this Namavali was like receiving a personal message from Him, reminding me once again that no matter what has happened in the past, His presence in my life is unwavering.

This Ram Navami, I am grateful for this divine reminder. Lord Trivikram’s grace does not waver, and neither should our faith.

Wishing everyone a blessed and joyful Ram Navami!
