Devotees Experience - By Renu
We (my husband, our children, our parents and myself) were jolted out of our easy going, comfortable and happy lives more than 2 years back for reasons that our Sai knows. Our sorrow was of unimaginable magnitude as we couldn't believe and accept what was happening to us and why! We sought the grace of the Lord as never before...we started worshipping each and every form of the Lord in Hinduism and kept praying day and night that may this difficult period pass with least amount of difficulty. The worst of times never seemed to be ending no matter how hard we prayed to any deity.... however, even during these most difficult of times of our lives, we started experiencing little miracles of our beloved Saibaba to the extent that even our seven year old boy asked me once that why is that whenever he prayed to any other form of God, his prayers weren't answered but whenever he prayed to our Lord Saibaba, his prayers would immediately be answered! Believe us, throughout this whole difficult episode, only 2 things kept our whole family going and those were 'shraddha' and 'saburi'...there were times when we were almost at the brink of breaking up when we would be reminded in some way or the other by our beloved Sai to hold on steadily to 'shraddha' and 'saburi'! Our difficult times spanned for a period of more than 2 years and during those difficult times, we felt that our sorrows were never ending and we couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel! Even when there was no light at the end of the tunnel and times were tough, we all held our faith in our beloved Sai and kept praying day and night for this painful saga to end and end it did finally on 2nd Jan 2009 by our beloved Sai's kripa!! It is no less than a miracle how our sorrows have ended so fast as anything could have gone wrong at any point of time and our period of suffering could have been longer but, by our beloved Sai's kripa, this whole episode has ended finally and now we are leading a happy life once again and this a dream come true for us! It's only now as we look back and think, we realize how our beloved Sai has always been with our family day and night, helping us, protecting us and showing us the correct path to tread which has finally led us to our happiness once again, so, I would sincerely like to urge everyone who is having a difficult time, please think positive only and keep praying to Lord Sai with a pure heart day and night...He listens to every little whisper of ours and surely your prayers will be answered when the right time comes....have shraddha and saburi in the Lord Sai....these 2 magical words will take each and everyone through the thickest of turbulences in anyone's lives....we are living proof of it! All glories to our Lord Sai....our many, many thanks to you Lord Sai for taking care of us so well in the most difficult times of our life and we pray that may He look after every single soul and lead them to everlasting happiness at His lotus feet! Sai Ram Renu
