Sheeba's amazing testimony of aggressive stomach cancer cured

This is Sheeba from Pallippuram in Ernakulam, Kerala. She hails from an orthodox Hindu family. She is narrating her story of how she came to know about Jesus Christ and the Holy Virgin Mother, and how miraculously she became their ardent believer. 

Sheeba's husband Sambasivan- a fisherman, was diagnosed with aggressive cancer in the stomach, with a tumor weighing 2.5 kgs. The cancer had spread to all his internal organs, and his condition became very hopeless.

He was admitted to a hospital where surgeons performed a surgery that lasted for 10 and a half hours. During the surgery, most of his internal organs such as the large and small intestines, esophagus, gallbladder, etc., were partially removed. His food pipe was removed, and a separate tube was fixed in its place. When he was shifted to the ventilator, his condition was worse than that of a dead body.

While Sheeba was crying outside the operating theater seeing the condition of her husband, a woman gave her a Kreupasanam paper and told her to pray, saying, "Nothing is impossible with God!" Though she had never heard of Kreupasanam or the Holy Mother, she hugged the paper with respect and prayed to the unknown God to cure her husband, whom the doctors had predicted would not survive.

Sheeba did not lose hope; she prayed fervently. Despite objections from her husband, son, and other members of their Hindu community who did not share her belief, she persevered. She visited Kreupasanam, took Udambadi and prayed with unwavering faith, and her persistence paid off. What followed was an incredible miracle. 

Slowly and gradually, all of Sambasivan's organs regrew, much to the astonishment of the doctors who had treated or operated on him. Today, Sheeba holds an unshakable devotion to Lord Jesus Christ and Holy Mother Mary. She testifies to the power of Christ and His Virgin Mother to everyone she meets.

A devoted believer who felt as the 'daughter of the King of Kings'!

Merlin Martin's journey is one of faith, perseverance, and divine intervention. Hailing from Angamaly in the Ernakulam district, Merlin's devotion to Holy Mother Mary was unwavering, yet she found herself at odds with Kreupasanam Mother due to hearsay about the deity's authenticity. This led her to oppose the Kreupasanam Prayer conducted by her mother in their home.

Merlin was the eldest daughter in her family with three younger brothers. She was a responsible and concerned member in the family which was completely sunk in debts!

Despite having no background in aviation or hospitality, Merlin harbored a fervent dream of becoming a cabin crew member at Qatar Airways. Her aspirations led her to participate in a rigorous selection process in Calcutta, where 998 other competent and beautiful candidates vied for the coveted positions. In her own assessment, Merlin considered herself the least qualified candidate, citing her physic particularly her height. During the selection process, any scar on the candidates' bodies typically led to disqualification. However, Merlin boldly chose to reveal the scars on her knees, attributing them to her devout prayer life. Remarkably, even the selectors (who were also devout) overlooked this, recognizing the depth of her faith and conviction.

Against all odds, Merlin emerged triumphant, securing one of only eight positions offered. Her journey serves as a testament to the power of faith and determination. Merlin attributes her success not only to her unwavering belief in Lord Jesus and Holy Mother but also to the transformative power of prayer.

The blessings extended beyond her professional life, permeating into her household, which underwent a remarkable transformation. Previously fraught with challenges, including her father's struggle with alcohol addiction, Merlin's family found newfound peace, happiness, and prosperity.

Merlin's story is a reminder that obstacles can be overcome through faith and perseverance. Her journey from opposition to opportunity underscores the profound impact of steadfast belief in the face of adversity. As Merlin continues to navigate life's challenges, she does so with an unshakable faith in God, knowing that with Him, all things are possible.

Incurable autism, Hyperactivity and chronic eczema cured miraculously

Meet Alice Philip, a dedicated nurse originally from Kerala, who has called Yongork, New York home for many years now. Despite passing by the Kreupasanam Marian shrine numerous times in the past, she never felt compelled to step inside, lacking any reverence for it. However, on February 19, 2022, something changed within her, and she found herself drawn to visit the shrine, responding to an inner calling.

Accompanied by two non-Christian women friends, Alice brought along her two grandsons, both afflicted with incurable illnesses. Her elder grandson struggled with autism, hyperactivity, and various other disabilities, rendering him unsuitable for admission to conventional schools. His behavior posed challenges, restricting their ability to go out together. Meanwhile, her younger grandson battled severe eczema since infancy, a condition that affected him from head to toe.

Determined to seek solace and healing, Alice embarked on a journey of faith, turning to the shrine's spiritual practices and took 'Kreupasanam Udambadi'. Through fervent prayers and unwavering devotion, she performed rituals and sought divine intervention. Miraculously, both children experienced profound healing, defying the odds of their ailments.

Alice's story serves as a testament to the transformative power of faith and the miraculous possibilities that unfold when one listens to the whispers of the heart.

'I tell you, not even among Christians have I found such faith!'

This woman is a Hindu by religion, and her husband faced a severe accident in 2019, resulting in fractures to his spinal bone, two shoulder bones, and four rib bones, requiring over 100 stitches on his back. Doctors recommended four emergency surgeries for his recovery.

With a heavy heart, she visited the Kreupasanam Shrine. Upon entering, she immediately felt a profound sense of solace. She prayed earnestly and performed all the rituals with devotion, sensing the Holy Mother's presence, enveloping her in love and care.

Upon taking the udambadi, she developed a strong desire for a Holy Bible and Rosary chain, despite not knowing how to pray or read. Her primary intention in coming to Kreupasanam was to seek healing for her husband, who was predicted to be bedridden due to 85% fractures in his spinal bone. She held steadfast faith that the Holy Virgin Mother would work a miraculous healing, and indeed, her husband was healed within the stipulated time, walking without the need for surgeries.

Subsequently, her non-believing aunt experienced a miraculous healing for severe nerve bleeding through her faithful prayers at Kreupasanam. Additionally, her cancer-affected grandmother, initially lacking faith in Christ, received divine touch and quick relief from pain following her prayers, astonishing everyone in the house.

While initially seeking material benefits, the woman is now eager to become a devoted disciple of Jesus Christ, 'through the Holy Virgin Mother to the Lord'. She expresses gratitude for being taught the Holy Bible and various theological facts directly by the Lord Himself. Now her sole prayer is to remain in the love of the Lord until her death.

This testimony prompts reflection on the Holy Verses in Luke 7:9, with a suggested modification to emphasize the remarkable faith of this woman: "When Lord Jesus heard these things, he marveled at this young woman, and turning to the crowd that assembled in the Shrine, said, 'I tell you, not even among Christians have I found such faith!'"

Merchant Navy Safety Officer SIVA NANDAN's amazing sharing

Siva Nandan, a devout Hindu hailing from Kayamkulam, Kerala, has a unique and inspiring story to share. Currently serving as a security head in a merchant navy ship, Siva Nandan's spiritual journey took an unexpected turn when he developed a profound love for Jesus Christ without knowing much about Him.

Despite his Hindu faith, Siva Nandan found solace in conversing with Lord Jesus during lonely nights on his ship voyages. His connection with Christ grew stronger over time, leading to a life-changing experience three years ago.

During a perilous journey from Yemen to South Africa, Siva Nandan and his 21-member crew encountered a sudden and violent weather change. Adverse winds and heavy rains damaged the ship's engines, causing it to overturn and sink. In a moment of desperation, Siva Nandan called upon Jesus Christ, expressing the imminent threat to their lives. Miraculously, in the blink of an eye, a wind blew in the opposite direction, restoring the ship to an upright position.

In the aftermath of this traumatic incident, Siva Nandan turned to the Bible, and opened it (A Bible was gifted by a friend sometime ago, which he used to read without understanding). To his astonishment, the verses he encountered resonated deeply with his experience: "He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters" (Psalm 18:16). Convinced that it was the miraculous intervention of Lord Jesus Christ that saved him, Siva Nandan embraced the Scriptures with profound love.

Upon returning home, Siva Nandan visited Kreupasanam and participated in a 'covenant' ritual in October 2023. During evening prayers at their home, he sensed the presence of the Holy Mother of Kreupasanam through a fragrant aroma, the same fragrance he experienced at the Holy Altar of Kreupasanam. That marked the beginning of countless miracles for him and his family. His handicapped daughter exhibited sudden signs of healing, while his medical student son received a rare invitation for employment in the United States.

Now, Siva Nandan's sole wish and prayer are to receive grace to deepen his love for Christ and His Mother. May God bless him abundantly and fulfill his desire to love the Lord and His Holy Mother with unwavering devotion.

Marian Udambadi testimony of a bone marrow cancer patient H M

This is Thomas, hailing from Amballur in the Thrissur district, where he serves as the Headmaster of a school. Thomas battled bone marrow cancer, and in recounting his journey, he vividly describes the steep decline in his platelet count and the severity of his condition.

Upon arriving at Kreupasanam in February 2023, Thomas was in a critical state, with a platelet count of only 23,000, rendering him extremely weak. However, fueled by unwavering faith in the Holy Mother of Kreupasanam, he believed in her power to facilitate a complete recovery.

Before engaging in the udambadi rituals and seeking blessings from Rev Fr Joseph, Thomas had made a remarkable decision in his mind. Despite his fragile health, he resolved to climb St Thomas mount in Malayattoor, an endeavor he successfully accomplished—astonishing everyone, including his attending physician.

Throughout his battle with cancer, Thomas endured excruciating pain. The presence of sores on his tongue made eating an arduous task, causing him to endure a three-month period of literal starvation.

Following the Marian Udambadi, Thomas attributes his miraculous healing to the grace of Jesus Christ, mediated through His Blessed Virgin Mother. Today, he stands as a testament to complete recovery and restoration.

A 3rd year Medico's touching testimony! Athulya, d/o muslim-hindu couple

Athulya, who hails from Thiruvananthapuram, is a 3rd-year medical student. Her father is a muslim and mother a hindu. They are rubber tapping workers and their family's economical condition is very backward. Though poor, her parents had a dream to see their daughter becoming a doctor. To turn this dream into reality, they enrolled Athulya in a Private medical entrance coaching institute in Pala, a significant financial sacrifice for a family engaged in rubber tapping. And today Athulya is defying the odds and overcoming unimaginable challenges to pursue their dream!

The journey wasn't easy for Athulya, but very hard. Having studied in an ordinary Malayalam medium school, the transition to medical education was daunting. The academic stress reached a point where she contemplated discontinuing her studies and pursuing alternative courses like TTC or B.Ed. However, her parents, driven by unwavering determination, persuaded her to persevere.

The pressure took a toll on Athulya's mental health, leading her to seek help from a psychiatry doctor. The struggle was so intense that her thoughts turned to the unthinkable – suicide. Yet, her vigilant parents stood by her side, guarding over her day and night.

In the midst of adversity, Athulya found solace in her faith. Despite being raised as a Hindu, she had embraced a profound belief in Lord Jesus Christ. Her unwavering prayers and faith sustained her through the darkest moments.

In a transformative turn of events, Athulya made a pilgrimage to Kreupasanam and took udambadi, a spiritual commitment. She attributes her miraculous continuation in medical education and success in clearing exams to the support of the Holy Virgin Mother.

Athulya's story is a powerful narrative of triumph over adversity. It underscores the pivotal role of family support, the strength derived from faith, and the importance of seeking professional help for mental health challenges. Athulya's journey stands as a testament to the indomitable help and support one receives when taken an udampadi (covenant) with the Holy Virgin Mother Mary of Kreupasanam!

An international player's testimony on the power of prayer

Meet Josna Yohannan, a name that resonates with excellence in her hometown of Changanasserry. She's not just an international sports player but also a testament to the power of unwavering faith and determination.

Josna's career in the state government was steady, yet the desire for a better job and a higher salary prompted her to seek opportunities in the central government. Little did she know that this decision would set in motion a series of events that would test her resolve.

When the central government presented her with a golden opportunity, the condition was simple - report immediately or let this dream slip through her fingers. However, transitioning from her current role to a central government position wasn't as straightforward as it seemed.

Josna had to secure a relieving order within a remarkably short timeframe, and to do so, she navigated the complex bureaucratic landscape. She met officials from clerks to high-ranking IAS officers and tirelessly sought the support of various ministers. Promises of assistance were made, but progress was slow and uncertain.

Throughout this challenging journey, Josna never lost faith. She believed in the intercession of the Holy Virgin Mother and turned to prayer in her moments of despair. Her mother, who had taken an 'udambadi' in Kreupasanam, stood as a pillar of strength, offering unwavering support. Together with Josna's children, they fervently prayed for a breakthrough.

Then, on the eleventh hour, it happened. The wheels of bureaucracy turned, and Josna's files were processed. She was granted the relieving order she so desperately needed to embark on a promising career in a central government department in Lucknow.

Josna Yohannan attributes this miraculous turn of events to the collective prayers of her mother, children, and her husband, who prayed ceaselessly with unwavering faith. It's a story of faith, persistence, and, above all, the power of prayer, reminding us that miracles can happen even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges.

A K Anthony's wife's Kreupasanam testimony

Arackaparambil Kurien Antony, popularly known as A.K. Antony, is a distinguished senior leader of the Indian National Congress party, having served as both the Chief Minister of Kerala and the Defense Minister of India. Despite his notable political career and a reputation for having a clean image in a field often marked by controversy, Antony is an individual with an intriguing perspective—he does not believe in God, a stark contrast to his traditional Catholic Christian upbringing.

Enter Elizabeth, his wife, who, by coincidence or fate, was a colleague of Mariamma Oommen, the late Oommen Chandy's wife, during their time at Canara Bank. Their union took place when Antony was 44 years old, and since that moment, Elizabeth has carried a profound prayer in her heart—a prayer for the spiritual transformation of her husband.

Life took an unexpected turn for the couple when they were both seriously affected by post-COVID complications. Elizabeth's brother went to Kreupasanam and took an Udambadi, which, miraculously, resulted in her speedy recovery. Witnessing this profound change, Elizabeth decided to embark on her own spiritual journey to Kreupasanam Shrine in 2022, for taking an Udambadi at Kreupasanam for her many intentions. Her primary motivation was the well-being and transformation of her husband, who was grappling with both physical and mental health issues, an ordeal that deeply concerned her.

The power of Udambadi extended its blessings to Antony as well. He experienced a remarkable improvement in his physical and mental stability, a transformation that not only restored his health but also bolstered his confidence. Remarkably, at the age of 83, Antony was reelected as one of the Working Committee members of the Indian National Congress, a testament to his enduring commitment and newfound vigor.

Their sons, who were well-educated and shared a desire to pursue a political career, faced an unexpected challenge. The Congress party's policy discouraged the children of leaders from joining their fathers' party, leaving Elizabeth in a state of sorrow. Amidst this predicament, Anil Antony, one of their sons, received an invitation from the national leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), an invitation that presented a moral dilemma for Elizabeth. The BJP's reputation, particularly in relation to religious matters, raised concerns.

In search of guidance and solace, Elizabeth turned to Reverend Father Joseph, the director of Kreupasanam, whose comforting words reassured her. Father Joseph offered words of hope, assuring her that Anil could have a bright future within the BJP, despite the complexities and controversies associated with the party.

In conclusion, the journey of Arackaparambil Kurien Antony and Elizabeth is a tale of remarkable transformation, faith, and the power of spirituality. Antony's unique perspective on spirituality, coupled with Elizabeth's unwavering faith and their shared experience with Udambadi, reflects the complexity of the human spirit. Her testimony is a testament to the profound impact of faith on individuals and families, a journey that has not only touched their lives but also continues to inspire others to navigate the intricate intersection of faith in everyone's life.

4th astonishing Testimony of Hindu lady Usha from Alappuzha

My name is Usha, and I hail from Alappuzha. My family belongs to the Hindu religion. However, when life presented me with a series of challenges, a friend of mine introduced me to the Kreupasanam community through their news paper. I read the contents of the paper to my husband, who has visual impairments, and he suggested that I visit the Kreupasanam Shrine. Without hesitation, I hurried to Kreupasanam then and there, on January 18, 2018, and took the udambadi—which was a significant step in my spiritual journey. During the following week, while attending the prayer service at Kreupasanam and witnessing numerous individuals sharing their testimonies of the blessings they had received, sitting beside me, a fellow attendee expressed skepticism, suggesting that these testimonies might be fabricated, perhaps influenced by monetary incentives. In response, I gently urged the woman to listen attentively before passing judgment. Little did she know that I would soon have my own testimony to share. This is my fourth testimony at this Sacred Altar. At one point in our lives, my family faced a daunting challenge when my son's visa application to the USA had been rejected three times, causing us immense mental distress. However, following my udambadi experience, we received a divine intervention. The very next month, against all odds, my son's visa was approved. I firmly believe that the benevolence of Lord Jesus and His Holy Mother has showered countless blessings upon my life and that of my family members. Their divine presence has been particularly pronounced in the lives of my two daughters-in-law. The Kreupasanam Marian Shrine has been a source of guaranteed solace for me and countless others. I solemnly testify that it is with the blessings of my Holy Mother of Kreupasanam me and my family are doing everything well. It's a testament to the power of faith and the profound impact that belief can have on our lives, regardless of our religious backgrounds. In sharing my story, I hope to inspire others to embrace the extraordinary possibilities that faith in Lord Jesus and in His Holy Virgin Mother can unlock. Just as I found solace and witnessed miracles through Kreupasanam, so too can others find hope and blessings in their own spiritual journeys.
