We often think that it is our spiritual aspirations, worldly needs or insurmountable problems that lead us to Bhagawan's fold. But, little do we realise that in reality, as Swami would say, it is the Lord who comes seeking those that belong to Him. Born into a family that wasn't given to regular forms of worship, and married into a household that was well-endowed but not particularly spiritual, 91-year-old devotee, Mrs Jaya Natarajan, in this first part of the conversation shares the inscrutable events, visions and encounters that were slowly preparing her for the grandest blessing of her life. The interview was recorded in 2023.
