How do Devi Deities and Saints Etc. work? Why is invocation of deities or guru important before asking questions?

The Devi Deities and Saints we pray for are very enlightened and smart beings. These Deities and Saints find ways to create solutions, and the best part is that they are not affected by the caste, color, or creed of the person. I am sharing few real life incidents to elaborate this matter. Please note and analyse the powers of these powerful saints; that in each of these events, I have not actually met any one of these saints.

1. Once an internationally renowned person called me for some consultancy and the person kept his name hidden. Though I was aware from day one, who that person is, but I too kept the secret hidden as well, just to make sure that he does not feel awkward. Once during a casual talk I inquired that how that person found me. The answer that person gave me stunned me. The person never believed in astrology or predictions and considered it a hoax, however he was a devotee of a great saint who by a strange coincidence is my manas guru as well. The person told me that once he was very much perplexed and was searching for some solution and read one of my books and according to him he felt a strong urge to contact me for guidance. This urge forced him regularly for three four days and then he was forced to contact me. This was not coincidence, his guru wanted to provide solace so he found a way through which he can talk to another person who can solve it. Coincidentally, at the very same time, I need some money to visit a holy place. The person got my service and I got my money. He did not knew that My guru and his guru are same.
2. This is a recent incident. Rather, I would say I came to know about it very recently. This person contacted me few years back for a Ṃahalaxmi Anushthan. Usually I am not keen for any kind of Pooja so I asked the person to go for Praśna first to analyse whether the Pooja was needed or not. Secondly, I cannot do any Pooja without the confirmation from my beloved Goddess. The Praśna clearly indicated that the problem was real and so an Anushthan was needed. My reluctance was still there, because I avoid rituals as they might invite more troubles. However, I was literally dragged by some force to do it. I did it and the person was also very happy. Recently while talking to each other I realized how I was dragged to do that Pooja for her. She was the devotee of a Godly saint whom I worshipped as well. I have deep gratitude towards this saint. This woman was told to do Pooja by some astrologer in South and I was sitting in North and yet she contacted me for Pooja which was strange. However, recently the chatting revealed the real force behind all this. A powerful saint who still listens to every problem.
3. I admired this person like my own younger brother. I did not knew why I have deep love and regards for this person. Every time this person contacted me, I felt very happy without any solid reasons. I even gifted him some gemstone during the change of a daśa because some unknown power was telling me to help him. We never met each other but know each other from past few years. In spite of all this, I never knew that he and his wife both were staunch devotees of the same saint I loved. This recent revelation was enough to understand who was the active force behind it.
4. In this case a person sitting in another part of world contacted for his/her near one’s critical health. This person was told to offer prayers to a particular Madhva saint whom I loved despite of the fact that I am a staunch Shakta. The revelations were strange because the person owned a temple of this saint. Actually this person was forced to contact me in order to get the help and I was forced to help in a strange way. You see this was the smartness employed by this great guru so that problems can be solved.
5. In another case, I needed some money for repairs and I got a call to design a very difficult spiritual object for a saint. This object was to be designed according to sthapathya rules. This was a very expensive product and the person ordering it has never seen me in person. The person was sitting in another part of country. Yet the money was immediately sent even before the order was started. I designed it in one and half months and went all the way to that place to hand it over with my own hands. The whole travel was full of extreme joy without any solid reasons. I crossed four police checkpoints with a three foot long large super precious object but none of the police man saw me. My arrangements were like breeze and I got respect from unknown people during the travel. I was wondering what was happening and realized that it was done by none other but the great saint of South.

All these incidents clearly explain that our love and devotion for powers is always helpful. Those powers may not belong to same ideology or religion or even caste. However, after working for so many years, it is a clear evidence that these forces actually guide you for answers and may employ the other person or doctor to help you. You will reach the exact person if your devotion is strong. So when you are asking a Praśna you should always worship your ishtha deitie, your Guru etc. before asking the Praśna. These forces guide the astrologers for correct answers. Without this, every calculation is just maths and not spiritual guidance.
