Sou Prutha & Chi. Puneet Choudhary
By the grace of the Guru, Chi. Prutha Harshe Choudhary, beloved granddaughter of P.P. Janardan Swami (Appa Azoba), was divinely blessed to receive Guru-diksha in a dream from Appa Azoba, just before her wedding at Takarkheda. What made it even more sacred was that the day was *Guru Purnima*. As shared by Bhangale Sir in his speech, Appa Azoba appeared in the dreams of many devotees that early morning and bestowed Guru-diksha upon those who were earnestly seeking it.
When he gave Prutha the Guru-mantra, he lovingly double-checked if she had heard it correctly, and also guided her on how many malas to chant each day.From her childhood, Prutha felt a deep inclination toward spirituality. The moments spent with Appa Azoba are her most treasured memories. She fondly recalls one such incident during aarti — when the hall was packed and she was quietly lip-syncing the Owalina Oja aarti. To everyone’s surprise, Appa Azoba instantly noticed, began enacting her gestures with a smile, and the whole place was filled with love and laughter.During their final meeting before Maha Samadhi, he lovingly recited Sai Baba’s verses and awakened in her the eternal truth “Sabka Malik Ek”. With beautiful simplicity, he explained the deepest spiritual wisdom in a way even a child could understand. Those sacred conversations continue to guide her outlook and daily life.Professionally, Prutha serves as a Packaging Engineer & Industrialisation Development Specialist at Decathlon India.
Her husband, Chi. Puneet Choudhary, is a Dentist practicing in Bangalore.Together with their 6-year-old son, Chi. Samarth Choudhary, they walk the path shown by Appa Azoba nurturing a home filled with Shri Guru Krupa. They feel Appa Azoba’s presence always, residing in their hearts. In many tough and difficult situations, they have felt him guiding them. He continues to be their silent support in every decision they make.Their humble prayer is to carry forward his timeless guidance and pass it on to the next generation
