Kishore 

After I was able to buy car from one of my colleagues, I wanted to go with my family to nearby temple at Livermore. I had visited this temple on my previous visit to US and have a vague idea of the route. However I took a map to the temple. One weekend we started in the morning. We were following directions carefully and going on the freeway. As we were going I found a exit which said "to livermore". I took the exit immediately and went on the way. This was a two lane highway compared the freeway which I remember going on earlier. We compared the route we were taking with the map we had and I realized that I took the wrong exit. I was worried. For almost 10 minutes I was not sure whether I took the right exit that will really take us to where we wanted. There were no cities en-route where we can stop and enquire. In my heart I prayed to God to guide us properly. Thanks to God gradually I found that we entered Livermore city, the exact place where the temple was located. Once I reached the city I was able get back on the track and go to visit the temple. We had a nice darshan and prayed to Lord Hanuman's idol there and came back. I told my wife that God is taking care of us. Though we have our own preferences to lead our life, he guides in the right direction without our knowledge. By having faith and trust in HIM is important and we will get HIS grace.

Jai Sriram, Jai Hanuman
