Sai ram brothers and sisters
I firstly bow humbly at the feet of our precious and dearest lord .I thank baba
for keeping me constantly in touch with sai baba groups emails and reading
everyones incidents .with the spiritual touchings and 'gnyana' that he gives to
his devotees constantly and directly -we are really lucky enough to realise and
feel & see through that he is omnipresent and he is within us , around us ,
behind us and ahead of us where we go .
Let me now narrate a series of incidents that have happened to me during the
last week
and I can never forget this trip to HongKong ever again .I would love to savour
the memories forever in my heart.
I was about to start to my official trip on 29th early hrs to HongKong (first
time)via mumbai
and i was pretty nervous &
worrying to baba about my hotel location near a funeral home and how am going
to stay all alone .I took the ganesh idol , baba's photos,satcharita ,
and several photos ! in my handbag .the day before i was leaving i got a mail
from 'heart to heart team' sathya sai's group mails ;and would you believe what
the starting message was
How can we practice to see God's hand every where at all times? Swami
teaches us kindly with a beautiful example today.
'Wherever you go, whether it is America, Japan, Germany, Pakistan or India,
there is only one Sun that illuminates the entire world. If it is daytime for
us now, it will be night in America. Does that mean that there is no Sun in
America? No. The Sun is here, there and everywhere, illuminating the entire
world. Since the Earth rotates round the Sun, it is night in America when it is
day in India. Similarly, God is everywhere; He is omnipresent. He is immanent
in us. We should always develop a feeling that God is with us, in us, above us
and below us. One should develop such firm faith. Then, one can see Him at any
place of one's choice'
-Divine Discourse, Aug 6, 2008.
I thanked baba that he heard my heart and he was indicating directly to me ..am
sure because no one else would understand why that message came that date
only..till now baba never took any countries names !
So with a brave heart started my journey .
29th Mar 2009
I reached HongKong at 8.55 hrs and reached my hotel room. i arranged first all
the baba photos and the ganesh idol it was a sunday so i could relax and also
say my prayers.
I read Satcharita as soon as i reached the hotel room and to reconfirm the
email message to my shock i opened the page and the content on it was page 85 ;
the first para that has the content on Mr Jog.baba meant to say
"If you spread your palms with devotion before me,i am immediately with you
,day and night.Though am here physically i still know what you do beyond the
seven seas .Go wherever u wish ,over the wide world ,I am with you.My abode is
in your heart and i am within you.Always worship me , who is seated in your
heart as well in the hearts of all beings.Blessed and fortunate indeed is he
,who knows me thus"
i was thrilled reading this para and got a strong indication already that baba
will take care of me throughout this trip and new place.
Evening i chanted 108 names and did my prayers.(Baba would be thinking and
laughing she doesnt do prayers in India but in HongKong hmmmmm....)
day 1 night: I was scared to the core ....i couldnt sleep in the dark
i could hear constantly baba;s voice inside me saying ' dear child nothing can
come upon you until i will it.No one can cause harm to anyone unless i will
it.dont worry these evil spirits cannot even touch you.they all are under my
control.all good and bad are all under my control
you should leave all your worries and sleep..but still i applied vibhuti
and then reduced the aircon since it was making me shiver all the more
and finally due to baba's constant cajoling i slept off till i got up
at 6am HK Time .( which is 3.30 am india time)i had a nice bath and did 108
names chanting again.
30th March 2009
that day i was surprised to see a note from heart to heart again relevant
to my actions.
Why are there multiple types of people, each exhibiting different
characteristics? How can we stay focused despite the distractions? Swami
explains very clearly to us today
Sai Inspires - 30th March 2009
To cultivate devotion to God, always endeavor to mix with good persons, engage
yourselves in chanting the Names of the Lord, and be thrilled with the joy that
wells up in you. Why do you waste time or even pollute it by talking ill of
others? The eye, the hands, the nose, the head, the stomach, etc. each look
different. Each does one special task, and has a different name and function.
But they subserve the interest of one body to which they belong; they do not
work at cross-purposes, do they? So too, each of you is a limb in the body
called society. Do your work without a murmur, work in co-operation with all.
Then the society will be healthy and happy. Love, Love alone can bind you to
others and to God. God is the very embodiment of Love.
- Divine Discourse, Jan 28, 1975.
So the lord was kind enough to give me advice that i should concentrate on my
work that i have come to do .and also keep chanting the names of the lord.now
isnt it so kind of him to communicate likewise?
that night again i slept after lot of cajoling from baba .i was shivering due
to the aircon but it was better my confidence was slowly getting restored due
to baba's presence in the room and constantly talking to me in my heart. i
slept off and got up again at 6.30 am
31st march -day went off well and so did the night.But one thing happened
differently.suddenly while i was working at office i was instructed to go on
1st apr instead of my earlier booking 2nd april... i asked myself what is this?
Why am i feeling like going a day earlier.i was feeling sad that am unable to
do pooja for my baba's statue and also missing home.at the same time i was
thinking should i just stay one more day and do shopping..let me check with my
sponsorer.if she says the workshop will get over faster i can take a 7.15 pm
flight back on Wed to be in india by Thursday!
i coordinated suddenly with my travel agent and he replied yes the tickets are
available for 1st april and you can proced taking all approvals
i found my boss was online and took his immediate approval and Lo ! within a
few hrs my return was pre poned by a day. I saved money for company and also i
was saved of loneliness cause all my colleagues were returning to their
countries on 1st april itself,I would have been the only one
1st Apr- Train incident
we finished the session a few hrs earlier and my bus to airport at 4.20pm from
hotel . So if i had to do shopping i had to really rush and finish and reach
hotel by 4.00 pm at least.i accompanied my friend to a very very posh mall . i
felt it was very expensive so i took the guidenace of the mall staff to let me
know of a cheap market .they told me the ladies market is good ,its at MongKok
area.so i decided to take a train since i had not exchanged enough HK Dollars i
had to change 2 trains as per the train route map .So with some broken english
passer by's help i could sail through to the first route.the second route also
i took with a strangers help and reached the market.after shopping for half an
hr it was getting late.so i decided to take a taxi to the hotel to save time.
but to my dismay i checked my purse only 130 HKD were left after shopping!
and when i got into the taxi the taxi driver told me it will cost 180 HKD to
the hotel ! in some broken english and chinese he dropped me to the nearest
subway station ! thank Baba! he saved my money and also guided the driver !
after i went to the station -now i have to take the first route 2 stations
ahead and then change train to the hotel destintation ie two lines
i kept checking with passer by's on which destination to take for my hotel
(luckily i had my hotel card with chinese address also printed on it along with
english) but no one could help me really.so i went to the train boldly and
checked the route.suddenly i thought of asking one lady who was silently
standing in pink top and grey skirt .whether this train goes to 'admiralty' in
english.i was thinking she wont know. but to my surprise she spoke very very
fluent english just like a singaporean not like HongKong! she said am going to
admiralty i can show you to get down and catch the right train! again i was
thrilled and we boarded the train
during the 2 stations she checked iwth me all my travel details
where am from , what i came here for ? etc. and then she suddenly told that she
will check for me with the hotel where to get down and which exit to tke so
that i can reach for the bus within time since it was already 3.30 pm in the
train!
NOW THIS IS A MIRACLE THAT HAPPENED TO ME ONCE A LIFETIME BABA SHOWS HIS REAL
PRESENCE BUT I DIDNT REALISE IT ! ONLY BABA CAN DO THIS >> IN A NEW COUNTRY
THAT TOO IN A TRAIN WILL A STRANGER EVER USE HER MOBILE AND BE SO HELPFUL
SHE WAS SO KIND LIKE A BABA DEVOTEE ! I THANKED HER TWO TO THREE TIMES AND ALSO
TOLD HER SHE WAS SPEAKING SO NICELY IN ENGLISH AND I WAS LUCKY TO MEET
HER.SHE ALSO TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TAKEN THE TICKET ONE STATION BEFORE.ACTUALLY
THE HOTEL STATION IS ANOTHER BUT I SHOULD SPEAK TO THE STATION TICKET COLLECTOR
AND THEY WILL CHARGE EXTRA .NOT TO WORRY YOU CAN CONTINUE WITH THAT TICKET ONLY
.THAT TIME ALSO I DIDNT REALISE IT COULD BE BABA! I WAS JUST WONDERING THAT
SUCH A NICE HUMAN BEING ! SHE KEPT TALKING TO ME AND FINALLY WHEN THE TRAIN
HALTED SHE AND ME ALIGHTED TOGETHER AND SHE POINTED TO AN OPPOSITE TRACK TRAIN
AND SAID THATS YOUR TRAIN .HAVE A SAFE TRIP AND HAPPY JOURNEY!AND RAN OFF
TOWARDS THE STAIRS!
NOW I IMMEDIATELY GOT INTO THE TRAIN AND THEN TEARS ROLLED FROM MY CHEEKS THAT
I REALISED IT WAS BABA WHO SENT THIS ANGEL TO HELP ME OR ITS HIMSELF IS A
MYSTERY BUT I WAS GUIDED ON TWO THINGS - ONE ON THE RIGHT TRAIN AND SECONDLY ON
THE STATION TO BE ON TIME FOR MY FLIGHT.
I REACHED THE STATION AND TO MY SURPRISE THE STATION MASTER JUST ACTIVATED MY
TICKET CARD FOR THAT STATION AND DIDNT CHARGE ANYTHING EXTRA.I WAS GETTING LATE
BUT WHAT TO DO ...I REACHED THE HOTEL AT 4.10 PM AND GOT REFRESHED FOR THE BUS
SHUTTLE AT 4.20PM.
BY THE LORDS GRACE I WAS ON TIME TO REACH THE AIRPORT ON TIME!
SEE OUR LORDS LOVE ..ITS UNFATHOMABLE CANNOT BE EXPLAINED.how muchever we thank
him and owe him its endless love ....
i opened the sat charita in the bus towards the airport as thanks giving
and baba told me in my heart -give me dakshina for giving you darshan!So i
promised him after reaching India surely i will.
When i opened the page it was scary the message page 116.
Under story -balasaheb Mirikar
the story was on snakes baba is explaining to his devotees that this is our
dwarakamai where you are sitting.she wards off all dangers and anxities of the
children who sit in her lap.this masjidmai (its presiding deity)is very
merciful she is the merciful mother of the simple devotees,whom she will save
in calamities.once a person sits on her lap,all his troubles are over.He who
rests in her shade,gets Bliss.
Then baba gave him Udi and placed his hand on his head.When Balasaheb was about
to depart,he again said -Do u know that Lamba Baba'(long gentleman ie serpent)
? and then closing his left fist he brought it under the right elbow and moving
his left arm like the hood of a serpent he said " he is so terrible,but what
can he do to the children of dwarakamai' when the dwarakamai (its preciding
Diety)protects,what can the serpent do?'
I just related the content on this page to the evil spirits that baba saved me
from ..maybe its in my mind or maybe it was real. i dont know but
at least baba asked me to go one day earlier and also helped me to reach india
safely. I arrived at our home and thanked baba after reaching hom on is day
'Thursday!"
Aum sai ram - Bow to Sri Sai ,peace be with all
I shall narrate another incident that occured yesterday at Kollur Baba comes
as Beggar and blesses the bride ...
This miracle took place when my family was leaving to Shirdi on
22nd march 2007
On 21st march, my mother and I visited Baba's mandir [T.R.Nagar Bangalore]
We were sitting in dwarakamai , my mother was reading SHRI SAI SATCHARITRA
and I was reading 108 names of Baba.
I was seeing Baba's face.. and asked him to give me darshan in person and
as it is said, if u ask anything from heart baba fulfills the wish....
A small girl who had worn a silk gown and top with lots of gold jewellery
came and sat in between my mother and me. Then she came very close to me. I
got scared wondering why she sat so close and was looking at my face.
She tapped my leg and asked me for biscuits as she was hungry, I said I
didnt have any. Then she asked me for some monet so that she could
buy
biscuits. I dont know y but I couldnt resist her vibration.. felt as though
it was too godly.
I quickly put my hand inside my purse and started searching for 9 rupees,
[why i was searching for that particular amount..I had no idea]
My mom asked me what happened I asked her for some change my mom gave her
Rs.9 and even I gave her Rs.9 . After recieving the money she still sat for
some time wathing my face. Then she left. The temple was crowded.I was
wondering why a girl with so many gold ornaments and who appeared so rich
was asking us for money.. The was she asked ... it was as though she was
sure that I wud give her money...
And her vibration left me almost shivering..
When we came out of the temple.. I saw a very old saint who walked like a
young man, He gave us a smile. I thought.. IT WAS BABA FOR SURE.
On the way back to home .. I was discussing the incident which took place
in the mandir
.. I told her that I was searching for 9 rs .. and I dont
know why ... and that her vibration was too powerfull..
My mom was shocked .. she told me that even she was searching for 9 rs and
even she had the same feeling regarding the girl's vibration.
We both couldnt keep eye contact with her.
I told my mother that the girl appeared so rich and still came and asked us
for money .. not only the ornaments but even her green gown gave her a rich
look ... my mom said that the girl was wearing brown gown ... but I was
very sure that it was green .. How could we see 2 different colours .. is
still a shock for us..
We were also amased of the fact that .. She came dirctly to us .. asked
money n the left the mandir without asking monet from anybody else ..
I later realised that even Baba [statue] was wearing the same green colour
dress ..which the girl wore ..
But till date my mom says it dress was brown in colour .. and I rem it as
green ...
I thank Baba for being so kind and giving us darshan ...
