"Our Lady of Kreupasanam Brought Us Here" – The Inspiring Testimony of Sathi, a Hindu Woman from Vaikom
"At the sacred altar of Kreupasanam, where I believe our Blessed Mother reveals her living presence, my son and I stand today only because she herself brought us here. All glory and thanksgiving belong to Mother Mary and to Lord Jesus Christ."
My name is Sathi, and I am a Hindu woman from Vaikom, Kerala. I work as a Nurse Assistant at Kottayam Medical College.
My journey to Kreupasanam began through my friend Ambika, who lovingly introduced me to the Shrine and encouraged me to make the Kreupasanam Udambadi (Covenant Prayer). On 4 July 2023, I made my first Udambadi with one heartfelt intention—that my son Vishnu would receive God's blessing for a secure government job.
A Mother's Desire
More than anything else, I wanted my son to participate in the 23rd Kreupasanam Rosary Rally.
Unfortunately, I could not attend because I was unable to get leave from my duties at the Medical College. I was deeply disappointed, but I continued praying with faith.
When preparations began for the 24th Rosary Rally in October 2024, I joined the Akhanda Japamala (Perpetual Rosary) online and prayed every day.
Just then, another obstacle arose.
My son informed me that he would be unable to attend the Rosary Rally because his PSC examination was scheduled for the very same day.
As a mother, my heart was broken.
I prayed earnestly:
"Mother, after all these prayers, please don't let this opportunity pass us by."
Mother Mary's Loving Intervention
Later, someone in our prayer group informed me that there was a Volunteers' Rosary Rally a week before the main rally.
Immediately, my son and I decided to attend.
We reached Kreupasanam and prayerfully participated in the rally.
Afterwards, someone asked,
"Didn't you come last week to receive Father V. P. Joseph's blessing? It would have been a great blessing for your son's government job."
Hearing this made me very sad because I thought we had missed that opportunity forever.
With tears in our eyes, my son and I prayed a heartfelt Hail Mary.
As we were returning home through Marari Beach, we stopped for a short rest.
To my great surprise, I suddenly saw Rev. Fr. V. P. Joseph, accompanied by Sr. Jomol and a few others, walking nearby.
I immediately called my son.
We approached Father and explained,
"Father, my son cannot come next week because he has his examination. That is why we participated in today's rally."
Father smiled warmly and asked,
"What is your name?"
"My name is Vishnu," my son replied.
Then Father blessed him saying,
"Go and write your examination. You will do well. One day you will come back here and give your testimony."
Father blessed both of us.
At that very moment, I felt deep within my heart that our Blessed Mother had heard my prayers.
The Examination
On the day of his examination, my son prepared himself with great faith.
Before leaving home, he prayed.
He reverently used the blessed oil and blessed salt from Kreupasanam and carried blessed salt with him.
As he entered the examination hall, he silently prayed once again.
At that very moment, he noticed a church standing nearby.
Immediately, peace filled his heart.
He believed Mother Mary was walking with him.
He wrote the examination with complete confidence.
An Unexpected Blessing
When the PSC results were finally published, we were overwhelmed with joy.
My son Vishnu secured the 42nd Rank.
Soon afterwards, he received his Government Appointment Order.
Holding that appointment order in our hands, we returned to Kreupasanam—not to ask for another miracle, but to offer thanksgiving.
Every blessing belonged to God.
A Promise to Continue Serving
During the Rosary Rally I made another promise.
As long as God gives me health, my son and I will continue serving as volunteers during the Kreupasanam Rosary Rallies.
We also distribute Kreupasanam newspapers and continue sharing the devotion with others.
Today our entire family has deep faith in Lord Jesus Christ and Mother Mary.
Before leaving home each day, we pray together.
My son often says,
"Mom, please apply the blessed oil."
Then together we ask Jesus and Mother Mary to protect us wherever we go.
We regularly pray the Rosary, read the Holy Bible, visit poor and sick people, help orphanages, and support those who have no one to care for them.
Whenever possible, I also send a small monthly contribution to an elderly woman who has no one to look after her.
Protected from a Serious Accident
One day, while returning home near Kallara, our motorcycle suddenly skidded and overturned.
Within moments we found ourselves dangerously close to an oncoming KSRTC bus.
Looking back, I firmly believe that Mother Mary protected us.
We escaped with only minor scratches.
Had things happened differently, I might not be alive today.
Once again, I thanked Jesus and our Blessed Mother for their loving protection.
Vishnu's Testimony
Vishnu also wishes to thank God for every blessing in his life.
Although it was I who made the Udambadi, my son prayed faithfully every single day.
Before every examination, he prayed with the blessed oil and blessed salt from Kreupasanam.
By God's grace, he was included in both the LGSS and LDSS rank lists.
He began his government service in the LGSS department on 7 May and continues to trust God for further opportunities, including the LDC rank list.
In his own words,
"Everything I have today is because of God. I thank Jesus Christ and Mother Mary countless times. This government job is not the result of my own abilities. It is a blessing received through the intercession of my Kreupasanam Mother. All glory belongs to God alone."
A Life Transformed by Faith
What began as the prayer of a worried Hindu mother seeking God's help for her son became a journey of deep faith in Jesus Christ through the loving intercession of Mother Mary.
Today, Sathi and Vishnu continue to return to Kreupasanam—not merely to ask for blessings, but to thank God for His countless mercies.
Their testimony stands as a witness that sincere prayer, unwavering faith, and complete trust in God can transform lives in extraordinary ways.
"Thanks and praise be to Lord Jesus Christ and to our Blessed Mother forever."
