Saint Rammurti Baiji asked Rakeshbhai Pandya to give satsang about his experience with spirituality, part 2:
"When I do meditation, I get so many things. God gives me different messages.
In 1990 I took photography classes as part of my GE requirements. I went to Self-Realization Fellowship in Los Angeles on Mount Washington.
It's such a peaceful place there. Parmahansa Yogananda used to sit there in meditation under the pepper tree, which is still preserved there. I saw some devotees working there, and I said, "What if I get a chance to work in this kind of place for seva, for service."
Within a year or two we got connected with the baijis, the saints,and their elder sister. Their satsang was going on at the Norwalk temple where we went every Sunday. We got more into it and we received the knowledge.
During the Northridge earthquake we lived in Sun Valley. Just three weeks before that, we received the knowledge. You won't believe, the earthquake epicenter was 14 miles from where we lived. I felt like the townhome was lifted and just... pounding.
Me and my wife sat under the door and we started doing meditation. All the books and bookshelves were (shaking and falling), and after that, whatever was the lesson or message from God, we don't know.
Then this ashram property was purchased, and they needed someone to take care of it. So we decided to rent our other property and we will move here and do seva and whatever we can.
The reason I'm saying this is I started from Babaji, who was in my mind as I wanted to do seva.
So God arranged this. We both moved here. We did seva here for four or five years. We had a daughter here and stayed nearby after that. And we still did satsang and meditation.
So what I'm saying is that middle part of that breach... I started with Babaji and came back full circle to Babaji.
I'm not just believing that. How it starts, how it ends, God decides that."
