Power of Amma's Mantra

Om Amriteshwariyah Namah!
I visited Vallicavu on Dec 30, 2005 ,welcomed the New Year there and requested Amma for Guru mantra. Amma blessed me by giving the guru mantra of my Ishta devata. It was Jan 2nd ,2006 and I was returning back to Palakkad to my relatives place. I went to the Kayamkulam bus stand to board a bus to Palakkad. I boarded an interstate Deluxe bus from Trivandrum to Coimbatore with very limited stops. There were many passengers and I had to stand for long time. I got a seat when the bus about to reach Ernakulam. There were 3 more hours of journey left before I reached Palakkad. At Ernakulam bus station, I saw both the driver and the conductor getting down the bus.It was around 11:45 am . I assumed that the bus will have a halt for atleast 15 mins since I saw both the conductor and driver getting down. To reserve my seat, I put my hand baggage in my seat , informed a gentleman seated behind me that I will be back after attending nature's call. I went to the public toilet just a few metres away and came out in less that 10 mins. While on my way back to the bus, I noticed that deluxe bus in which I had placed my bag with my valuables moving away. I tried running behind it but it was out of sight in seconds. I went to the bus station master and informed about the incident. He said he will contact the next halt station of the bus and ask them to put the bag in that station. He directed me to board another bus so that I can find my deluxe bus en route. I boarded another bus to Thrisur. By Amma's grace the bus ticket issued by the deluxe bus was an electronic one that had the issue date of the ticket and had the names of my boarding and destination points. So I was not charged any fare by the bus conductor of my new bus. My bag with all my valuables was travelling in another bus. All I could do was chant the mantra that Amma gave the previous day. The bus conductor was getting nervous since I was travelling on a ticket issued by another bus. He wanted me to get down before Thrisur to prevent any raid by the ticketing squad and hence was looking ahead to see my bus en route. He showed me the deluxe bus that was halted in Angamaly due to some war of words between one of the passengers and the bus conductor. I ran to my bus and found my bag placed near the drivers place. On seeing my bag left in the seat , some of the passengers searched it and placed it at an isolated place.The gentleman behind me dozed off and did not alert the driver or conductor about me getting down for nature's call.Finally I united with my bag due to Amma's grace and the power of HER mantra. All I could do was to mentally prostrate to Amma's lotus feet.
