How to Receive a Miracle, Fast

Spiritual Technology for Modern People

October 25, 2019 by Lalitha Donatella Riback

Have you been wishing for a miracle? A turnaround to end delays… and experience big changes that make you truly happy?

I was recently in India, and I got a chance to meditate on how much easier it is to turn your life around through the help of God and Goddesses.

The sad truth is that we have limited vision, and despite our science and technology, we think convoluted, strategic, scheme-y thoughts to try to get what we want.

In fact, scientists tell us that we think over 60,000 thoughts per day, which are mostly recycled (or karmic) thoughts.

That is about 35-50 thoughts a minute! No wonder we often feel tired and confused.

And more often than not… our strategies don’t even work.

In India I felt different

I was so busy traveling through the south state of Tamil Nadu that I didn’t even notice how much my mind had changed:

I expected to get what I wanted, fast (and by the way, I did!)
There was no fear of failure
I had absolute faith

For example, I wanted to enter the sanctum of Goddess Meenakshi in Madurai, which in 20 years had never been open to foreigners.

During the four-hour car trip from Rameshwaram to Madurai, I mentally conversed with the Goddess with my heart full of hope:

I came this far for you, and I want to experience you. I cannot take no for an answer. Please allow me into your sanctum.

At the outskirts of this celebrated, multicolor, UNESCO-protected Meenakshi temple, we finally made it past the long line of people waiting at the entrance.

Then I entered the magnificent Meenakshi temple. My eyes grew bigger. I’d already been there a week before, yet this time it looked grander and more beautiful.

I smelled fragrant flowers and vibhuti (the sacred ash devotees and priests wear on their foreheads).

Then my experienced guide announced that he would most likely perform the sacred rituals on my behalf, and I would need to wait outside.

My heart rebelled and silently responded: No way.

Unexpected miracle due to the auspicious planets

Then a miracle happened: a kind priest led us through a faster lane, leaving hundreds of devotees waiting at our left side, while we easily made it through the right-side pathway and into the Goddess’ sanctum.

There, another priest asked for my name and Moon constellation…I replied with a faster heartbeat, afraid he would hear my foreign accent.

I was confident, though, because I had chosen an auspicious time for this ritual.

I knew, through Vedic astrology, that certain planets (the Moon, Mars and the Sun) supported my wishes.

I entered an altered state thanks to the magnificent flowers of all colors, voices chanting mysterious mantras, lit ghee lamps being circled around gorgeous Meenakshi, sounds of bells.

Some devotees pushed me from behind trying to get a glimpse of the Goddess in her glorious attire.

I handed the priest a special garland for Goddess Meenakshi.

Finally, the other priest came back. He handed me a basket with coconuts, bananas, flowers, sacred powders and held out a different flower garland for me to wear.

I felt love from the Divine and the joy of prayers answered.

I’d been accepted by the Goddess! Tears.

And with her permission, I could now pay a visit to Lord Shiva, her consort. In fact, in Madurai where the Meenakshi temple is located, you need to visit the Goddess first, not Shiva (as in other temples).

Soon after the rituals at the Shiva sanctum, I was given another flower garland by the priest. I was now wearing two garlands, which was unprecedented for me.

But that’s not all — the Goddess had a grand surprise for me.

Grand finale

I was also given a shiny green and red cloth to put around my neck. So I now resembled Meenakshi herself, covered in flowers and silky fabric.

Tears rolled on my cheeks.

My spiritual connection with Goddess Meenakshi has been strengthened through this deep experience.

And when I later prayed to her for another miracle, I quickly received it.

I desperately needed rest and I wanted a comfortable, quiet hotel room, as the 4-hour driving on 2 hour-sleep had taken a toll on my health.

More gifts came

At my arrival in the hotel in Madurai, the manager announced to me that my reservation had been upgraded to a 3-room (and a huge bathroom) suite.

This was for free and without my asking!

Another wish I had before I left New York on my way to India was losing 10 pounds.

This isn’t something easy for me. I like sweets and in the nearly 4 years of writing my recent book, sitting all day, typing, eating candy, and avoiding all exercise (even my cherished yoga), I’d gained a dreaded 10 pounds.

At the Chennai airport as I boarded the flight back to New York City, I felt different, lighter.

At home in New York, one of the first things I did was stepping on my white scale (which I usually dislike to do).

I lost weight without exercise or diet

Lo and behold, I had lost 9 pounds, and… the next day, 10 lbs. I had again my ideal weight for the first time in 5 years.

Other miracles small and big happened in India… I will tell you later.

The point is that you don’t need to wait for miracles

So, the point is: you don’t need to travel alone on this earth plane, where we wait indefinitely for our wishes to come true.

You don’t need to do it all alone… because with love and faith you can ask for what you want from a beloved Goddess or God. Or Jesus, or Buddha, or an angel, or any form of the Divine.

You can also consult a Vedic astrologer to learn how to use the positive energy of your good planets to get what you want.

If you don’t do this, you’ll end up changing the proverbial particles (as quantum physics teaches us) for a bad outcome, and you will probably wait a long time for what you want.

When we pray to God or Goddess, we bypass what I call the slow brain: full of rationality, linear thinking, logical calculation, and… limited vision.
