NEW JERSEY: A highly educated and accomplished Hindu family living in Edison here claims that images of Lord Shiva are appearing in and outside their home.
Abhishek Mishra and his deeply religious family have been stunned by the naturally formed (Swayambhu) images of Shiva inside and outside their home. They have shown these to the Press and family friends.
The family believes it is a rare divine sign.
Mishra, who has had a successful career in the corporate sector, says, “Lord Shiva, we call him Mahadev ji, has blessed our home, and we feel his divine presence on our property all the time.”
Among the astonishing manifestations at the Mishra house was a Shivling that took form in ice during the winter snow, while a 50-foot image of Lord Shiva holding a trident appeared in the backyard snow. Inside their home, an image of Shiva with Nandi was found on the bathroom tiles, and another meditative form of Shiva emerged from ice.
As the word spread, many people witnessed this remarkable occurrence, calling it a true spiritual marvel. For many believers, the formations at the Mishra house are a sign of divine blessings, strengthening their faith and devotion.
The Mishra family house welcomes visitors who would like `to experience the spiritual miracle.’
Mishra, who claims to be an intuitive individual, says he wants to convey to those who are willing to listen that there is a Divine Power, referred to by different names in various religions and worshipped in different forms.
Aligning with that Divine Power will make our worldly life happy, peaceful, and prosperous, he adds.
He says his faith in the Divine has been strengthened by these mysterious events unfolding in their home.
With Diwali celebrations just over and Christmas and New Year events rolling around, Mishra says, “The world would be a happier and unified place if people truly understood the essence of these festivals in their entirety. The understanding and acceptance that all religions are paths to the same spiritual principle will bring us closer together, potentially healing a fractured world.”
Interestingly, Mishra and his family are highly educated and accomplished.
With a master’s in computer science from NYIT, he worked in the IT industry for 20 years at Fortune 500 companies, including AT&T and IBM.
His wife, Namita, who has a master’s degree in computer engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology, has worked for Goldman Sachs and other leading companies.
Their son, Avi, is pursuing a master’s degree in computer science from the Ivy League UPenn. Their Daughter, Anika, works as an Assistant Genetic Counselor at St Barnabas Hospital in Livingston, NJ.
The Mishra family lives at 25 Lavender Drive in Edison – in the area known as Little India.
