Kishore 

My life after coming to US would have been more stressful had it not been for grace of Guruji and Lord Hanuman. I had tremendous trust and faith that lot of hurdles in my life were reduced by Lord's Grace and I was able to get settled in new place, job with very little stress and anxiety. In general I am easily excited and get into lot of stress for every minor things. As described in various articles I described, Lord's guidance helped me. 

One particular phase I remember very well is when I was teaching my wife how to drive. We had secured admission for our daughter in a private school which is around 1.5 miles away from home. One needs to drive to school to drop off my daughter or pick her up during afternoon. Since I can't do that I had to necessarily take up the task of teaching car driving to my wife. She was quite nervous about that as she had pretty unnerving experiences before.  I enrolled her in driving classes. Since only 2 hours per day will not be sufficient to give enough confidence to handle driving test, I decided to give regular lessons every day night. 

After coming back from work and finishing dinner we used to go for driving. For around 30 minutes everyday for almost two months, my wife will drive on couple of routes. It was a nervous phase because if she makes even small mistakes we may have an accident. In a typical 'driving car' the person teaching driving will also have control of car. But using our car, I can't control the car if something happens and I have to rely on giving right directions to my wife and rely on her to take proper step to prevent any possible accident. Added to that we also had to take our daughter on these 'lessons' because we can't leave her alone at home and go. It is big risk to all of us. Only thing that made me do that was trust in God. Every time we went out we prayed to God to protect us. 

There was one time when my wife almost crashed into a pavement. She got scared after making a turn and hit gas pedal instead of brake and somehow managed to bring the car to stop. I almost thought we got into an accident. She was scared most the next day but I told her to have confidence and again with trust in God that he will protect us. If we managed to go through this phase without having any incident it is due to protection of Lord and nothing else. Whenever my wife thinks back on those days she still wonders how she managed to go through that testing phase and we once again praise lord for helping us going through this transition without any problem. 

We wanted to share this because we felt divine guidance and grace in our life and his protection was very important for us. If you also encounter testing times in life just trust in God and ask for his continuous protection. You will be protected. 

Jai Sriram, Jai Hanuman
