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.
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.
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.

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!
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.
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.
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.
Meet T. J. Jayamohan, a former politician hailing from Alleppey. His life took a profound turn after experiencing a miraculous recovery from 4th stage of cancer, a condition that had left doctors predicting the loss of his voice. This astonishing turnaround is attributed to his unwavering faith in the Kreupasanam Mother of Grace, who, through Her powerful intercession to Lord Jesus Christ, granted him this remarkable cure.
Today, Jayamohan who has vowed that he would speak the glory of God only in his life, stands as a passionate ambassador of the Kreupasanam Shrine, fervently sharing his unwavering devotion and the incredible miracles it has bestowed upon him and his family.
Among these miracles, Jayamohan mainly narrates a heartwarming story involving his only daughter, who gave birth to a truly miraculous baby. This journey was not without its challenges, as many medical specialists had abandoned hope while the baby was still a fetus in the womb.
When the child was born prematurely, it faced several life-threatening complications, leading to its placement on a ventilator for careful observation. Even though the medical professionals had lost hope on multiple occasions, Jayamohan's steadfast faith in the Kreupasanam Shrine worked wonders, miraculously leading to the recovery of his beloved grandchild.
This is the testimony of Sheeba from Kozhikode. She is a Hindu believer. She was facing numerous problems in life. She used to pray fervently to her deities in her personal pooja room.

She made an elderly couple visit Kreupasanam and take an udambadi, whose only son had absconded from their home as he fared poorly in his studies. Even though the parents did not have much faith, because of Nisha's faith, that youngster returned home.
Nish and her family also received many favours through the intervention of the Holy Mother, that are too impossible to happen otherwise.
Maria Sabitha is from Kaliyal St Mary's Forane Church under the Thakkala Diocese in Kanyakumari district. She was a muslim before she took the Christian Faith. As a result of her religious conversion, obviously she was isolated by the other muslims.
She had a severe health issue in 2006 (an extra bone growth on her neck), for which she travelled from pole to pillar but no solution. She went to different hospitals in Kerala and Karnataka states. At when she was in Kattappana hospital, a German surgeon accidently happened to see her and offered to conduct a surgery on her neck. The operation was performed successfully.
But after 10 years, the pain on her neck became severe and she was unable even to move her hand. Then she went to some doctors and they gave her some pain killer injections that gave some temporary relief. At last she came to know about Kreupasanam and went there and took an 'udambadi'. What ever happened in this poor woman was mere miracles!
