When God Comes Running: Real Life Miracles of Lord Krishna
Sometimes life becomes unpredictable, and hope slips from our hands. Two years ago, I felt the same — as if everything I called “mine” had dissolved into uncertainty. Yet today, when I look back, I realize that every tremor, every fall, every moment of pain was quietly pushing me toward surrender. Our losses often become the hidden passages through which grace enters.
Sri Krishna remains a mystery wrapped in silence and compassion. The saints say that even the desire to think of Him, to whisper His name, to remember Him for a moment — is already His mercy flowing toward us. Without His touch, who would even call out “Krishna”? After wandering through countless lives, here we are — writing about Him, remembering Him.
Today, I want to share real-life experiences from devotees around the world — stories where the veil thinned for a moment, and His presence became unmistakably clear. These moments remind us that the road of Bhakti, though filled with challenges, is always held by the One who never abandons His devotee.
The Bhagavad Gita That Walked Out of Fire (India)
In June 2025, an Air India Dreamliner crashed shortly after takeoff near Ahmedabad. The wreckage was a scene of twisted metal and blazing fire. Yet from within the ashes, one object emerged untouched — a copy of the Bhagavad Gita. Its cover was scorched, but its pages remained intact.
Rescuers fell silent. Some wept. Even skeptics folded their hands.
It felt as if the Lord Himself was whispering:
“My words remain. My presence remains. Even when worlds collapse.”
The Child Who Awoke Before Lord Jagannath (Odisha)
A father from Rajasthan carried his comatose son to the sacred Singhadwara of Puri. Medicine had reached its limits; hope was slipping away. He surrendered fully at the lotus feet of Lord Jagannath.
As he returned from darshan, trembling with prayer, the miracle unfolded. The child moved. His eyes opened. His head shifted gently — as if responding to a divine call.
For the father, there was no doubt:
Mahaprabhu had answered.
The Rain That Protected the Kirtan (Germany)
In the 1970s, government bans tried to silence harinam in parts of Germany. Devotees gathered anyway, singing with love. As police approached to arrest them, the sky suddenly opened and rain poured down.
The officers ran for shelter.
The devotees kept singing.
“Krishna turned the clouds into protectors,” one devotee later said — smiling through the storm.
Bullets That Couldn’t Harm Devotion (South Africa)
During apartheid, ISKCON’s inclusivity drew hatred from extremists. One night, bullets were fired into the Durban temple. A bullet pierced the wall — just inches from the altar — yet harmed no one.
An elder devotee simply said:
“When you sing His names, He stands guard Himself.”
The Wind That Silenced Protesters (Poland)
During a Ratha Yatra, protesters blocked Lord Jagannath’s chariot. Tension rose, voices grew loud — and suddenly, a powerful wind swept through the square.
Signs flew away. People scattered. The chariot moved gracefully forward, like a lotus gliding across still water.
The wind itself became a devotee.
The Elephant Who Recognized God (Thailand)
During a deity installation in Bangkok, a notoriously aggressive elephant was brought for the procession. Yet the moment she faced the deities during arati, she bowed her head.
The mahout whispered, tears in his eyes:
“She never bows to anyone.”
But before Krishna — she bowed like a child before her mother.
Fire Avoids the Altar (Chile)
A sudden fire engulfed the ISKCON temple in Santiago. The roof collapsed, books burned, flames roared — everywhere except one place.
The altar room.
No soot. No smoke. Garlands still fresh.
Even the fire chief said:
“Something protected this place.”
Krishna in the Prisons of USSR (Russia)
When religion was outlawed, devotee Ananta Shanti Das was thrown into a psychiatric ward. Yet in that cold, oppressive darkness, Krishna came — in dreams, in visions, in warmth beyond explanation.
Today, dozens of vibrant temples stand across Russia.
Bhakti survived iron bars and state power.
The Blue Boy in the Dreams (Iran)
In Iran, devotion often moves quietly, like a flame cupped within hands. One woman who received a secret copy of the Gita began chanting softly each day.
She dreamt of a blue boy who told her:
“Don’t be afraid.”
Years later, she escaped the country with her son and joined ISKCON abroad.
Krishna finds His devotees — even through borders, silence, and fear.
A Rainbow After the Storm (Australia)
At a kirtan festival in Sydney, a sudden storm scattered tents and instruments. But a small group continued chanting.
Within minutes, the storm broke — and a double rainbow arched across the sky like a divine blessing.
It felt like Krishna whispering, “Keep going.”
The Sadhu Who Disappeared(India)

A group of pilgrims became lost in a forest. No phones. No signs. Night approaching. A sadhu appeared suddenly, guided them to safety, gave them water — and vanished before they could even ask his name.
The pilgrims still say:
“We know who He was.”
These Are More Than Stories
They are reminders. Gentle touches from the unseen. Through fire, rain, bullets, despair, and the fragile fabric of human life, the Divine keeps whispering:
“I am here.
Call me with love.
And I will move the heavens for you.”
Nature may rage, the world may doubt, and governments may resist — but Bhakti walks through fire, and the Lord walks with Bhakti.
