Lord Hanuman Came Through For My Children -
The Presence of Lord Hanuman In Everyday Life
Childhood is the right time to instill good value system and faith. My daughters
are now grown up and lead a God fearing righteous life. I was tutored by my
mother to believe in the Almighty whatever the circumstances. She told me that
prayers when offered by a truthful heart were always answered. Since childhood,
I endeavoured to teach the same value system to my daughters which my mom had
taught me.
 My three small daughters came to me one day
and asked me to take them to the zoo. I had promised them the same but
unfortunately it was cloudy and drizzling on that Sunday when the small dears
wanted their promise fulfilled.
My husband
said there was no point in going outdoors especially the zoo on such a gloomy
day. My poor dears made a long face
and the sight of their tearful eyes made me feel very bad. I looked up at the
sky but could not see any chance of the black clouds giving way to dear Sun
Lord!
I tried to distract
them but could the disappointment in their eyes.

When my youngest came and
touching my face asked - "Mummy, Won't the sun come out?" I answered on impulse
- "Of course it will. All three of you read the Hanuman Chalisa seven times and
then see what happens".
After managing to keep them
absorbed, reciting the Chalisa in their childish tone, I got busy with my
household chores. Once or twice I noticed that the elder two were reading the
small book whole heartedly while the youngest followed suit but kept looking up
at the sky. I felt guilty too that on such a dark damp day it was impossible to
see even a glimpse of the sun. Had I done wrong in asking my children to pray
for such a small thing? Well, since the poor dears were half way through,
nothing could be done now.
I thought I would cross the bridge of faith Vs no God
when I came to it.

I had forgotten about the three carrying on
with their recitation in their room while I was busy in the kitchen. I had not
looked out of the window as I was busy frying the masala for Alu dum and washing
rice for pea pulao. Suddenly I heard footsteps and all three daughters clutched
me saying breathlessly - "Mummy Mummy! Look outside, the sun has come out." The
eldest said - "We finished reading Hanuman Chalisa seven times and God answered
our prayers." "Yes mummy, the sun has come out. We can go to the zoo now,"
chimed the second one while the youngest pranced around saying - "There is no
rain. Papa can drive us to the zoo now. Oh what fun!"

I accompanied my daughters to the verandah
and looking up at the sky saw the brave sun peeping through the still dark
clouds. I couldn't believe my eyes. How could the sun shine when there were dark
gloomy clouds and drizzling rains since morning.
Anyway, we all got
ready, went to the zoo and had a wonderful time.
I knew that day that God is
always there for you especially for the children when they pray for something
with a pure heart.
