How can you feel the presence of God



 People often ask how can you  feel the presence of God.From time to time there are many stories from puranas telling us how God helps his devotees from misery.
 
Prahaladha ,a young boy who was a true devotee of Lord Narayana suffered a lot from his own father Hiranyakasubu for not respecting him and failing to utter his name Hiranyakasubu.God saved him from those torture done by his father in disguise.Yet when he asked will his Narayana is present in that tomb.The boy said of course God is there.As he kicked the tomb,there came a feature which was neither human nor animal Narasinha and ths killed the King Hiranyakasubu.So God came in a different form to save his beloved devotee

Another episode well known by all of Dropathi wife of Pancha Pandavas.When the Pandavas lost everything they were all helpless and could not resist Duschadanan from pulling the saree of Dropathi ,their beloved wife"s body.All were witnessing like dolls.Soon as Dropathi seeked the help of Lord Krishna He said Akshayam meaning which never ends but continues.So Lord Krishna came in the form of saree to protect His devotee. Duschadanan became weak and tired as he could not remove the saree from her.Thus Lord saved her from shame in disguise of  saree.

Like wise in Sreerangam a chettiar girl very devoted to Lord Ranganatha was helped by Lord siva in the form of her own mother who  helped her in delivery and a son born to her.The girl at first thought her own mother ,but soon realised that was Lord Himself who came as Mother ,when her real mother came there after a few days after her delivery since she was standard due to heavy flood.Lord is known as Thayum manar,(means He also Became a mother).The Temple for Thayum manavar is now in Rock temple at Trichy.
 
All these incidents ,as well as miracles that happen in our life reveals the presence of God.
