Once upon a time, there lived a boy called John who was very popular among his family, friends and teachers at school. He was a good leader, a grade ‘A’ student, and an all-rounder, a good role model for all the students. Everybody loved him so much; it was almost as if he had cast a spell on all those around him.

     Fred, one of John's friends, once decided to find the secret of John's success. With this intention in mind he visited John's house. He found John's room to be very simple and neat. On one of the walls in the room hung a large, homemade plaque with the words, ‘I am third’ on it. When Fred asked John what it meant John replied, “That is the motto by which I try to live. It has made my life very easy and stress-free. It means, ‘God is first, others are second and I am third.’”

Relief from stomach ache after chanting* (repeating) God’s Name

    I used to suffer from a persistent stomach ache for many years. I had tried every possible treatment in vain. One night, the deity worshipped by my family appeared in my dream and said, “Don't visit the doctor, come to Me instead.” From that day onwards, I began visiting the Deity’s temple every day and chanting (repeating) Her Name regularly. Sometimes, I find that my chanting is going on automatically through out the day. The stomach ache, too, has completely stopped since then.
