OM SRI SAI RAM Dear Blessed Sai devotees, my dear sisters, Sai Ram !
Don’t get upset over the long delay and wait to get blessed. Scientifically also, more anxiety and an agitated mind goes negative in such aspects. First stop thinking about this and lead a normal life. Take a good doctors advice and improve your health that it is fit to bear babies. Then leave everything to Baba. Don’t even count the dates etc. It is not like olden days. Now we know everything and a good gynaecologist will advice you even the minute details. Apart from all these, if God wishes, impossible gets possible as the following story reveals.
It is not a story but the actual truth.
CHAPTER 39 of Sri Guru Charitra 60 Year Old Sterile Woman Begets Children. There lived one Shounak Gotri, Apastamb Brahmin named Somanath. His wife Ganga was a devoted wife, pious by nature. She was 60 years old, but she had no issue. She used to come to Shri Guru and bow to him devotedly every day. Shri Guru being pleased, one day asked her, `Why are you worshipping me daily? What do you desire? God will fulfil your desire. She said, `gurudeo, a woman's life is futile without an issue. Without a son the homeis like a forest. Issueless persons go to hell. Please give me a boon so that I will have a son at least in next life.'
Shri Guru smiled and said, `Service to the Ashwattha will not be futile. There is an Ashwattha tree at the Bhima Amarja sangam. I am present there after the bath in the river. Therefore worship the Ashwattha devotedly. The greatness of Ashwattha is narrated in the Puranas. Brahmadeo is at its root, Vishnu is in its middle portion and the Rudra is on its top and the Agni (fire god) lies in the interior of this tree. In the months of Ashadha, Poush or Chaitra, when Guru and Shukra are not set, when the moon is favourable on an auspicious day, observe fast and start worshipping the Ashwattha.
Do not touch the tree on Sunday, Sankranti and in the evening. The floor at the root should be smeared by cowdung and have rangolee designs. Worship the Ashwattha thinking it as a Trimurti, with 16 upchars, then saying Purushsukta and observing `moun' take rounds of the tree. Two lakhs rounds destroy even the sin of Brahmahatya. The Ashwattha gives four purusharthas. The desire of a son is also fulfilled by him.
Recitation of Mrityunjaya sitting at the Ashwattha on Saturday, avoids accidental death and gives long life. One gets credit of feeding several Brahmins, if one Brahmin is fed under this tree. If one Ashwattha tree is grown, 42 generations are liberated; but if one Ashwattha is cut, it is a great sin performed. Home performed under the tree gives credit of a great sacrifice. Do Homa of one tenth of the number of rounds and feed Brahmins and give golden Ashwattha in charity.
She started worshipping Ashwattha as advised by Shri Guru. On the third day, she had a dream. A Brahmin told her to go to Shri Guru at Ganagapur, have seven rounds of Shri Guru and take the prasad that is given to her and that her desire will be fulfilled. She awoke. On the fourth day she went to Shri Guru and had 7 rounds. Shri Guru gave her 2 fruits and said, `Eat these fruits. Your desire will be fulfilled.'
She then completed her vrat of the worship of Ashwattha. During meals she ate the fruits given by Shri Guru. In the evening she started menses. On the fourth day after bath she went to Shri Guru and bowed to him. She had sex act on he fifth day. She became pregnant, In the seventh month she was given `Oti' and she gave `vayan' to married women. `Seemant' was performed in the 8th month. After 9 months she begot a daughter.
After 10 days she came to Shri Guru with the baby. Shri Guru smiled and blessed her baby and said, `You will have one more son, what do you prefer? A well-behaved son of 30 years of age or a fool having 100 years' life?' The woman said, `I would like to have a well-behaved son, who should have 5 sons.' Shri Guru blessed her as she desired. Later on she had a son who became learned and won fame. He had 5 sons in course of time. The daughter's husband performed sacrifices and was well-known as `Dixit.'
Please do not think this relates to olden days and can not be applied to present days. During 80's, One Woman used to participate i the Satsang at Acharya Ekkirala Bharadwaja Swamy in Vidya Nagar, Nellore District. I am giving below the gist of her exoperience which was available in Swamyji's "SRI SAI LEELAMRITHAM" - old edition.
Smt. Lakshmi ( Name changed) was eagre to become a mother and could not. She has lost the hope and continued to pray Baba and attend the Satsang at Vidyanagar. She neared the period of Menopause. Once Baba appeared in her dream and asked her what she wanted. She said"Swamy ! You do know everything. Anyway, please bless me with mother hood at least in the next Janma(birth). Baba smiled and said" If you have to wait till next birth, why am I here". and there ended the dream.
After few months, her periods stopped. She consulted a doctor and he said there is a tumour in the uterus and she should be operated upon to remove the uterus. She came back and everybody insisted that she should go for the surgery as otherwise it may be dangerous. But, she refused and decided to wait for 10 months and then only decide. All her relatives felt she is risking her life itself. But she didnot bother. IMPOSSIBLE BECAME POSSIBLE. In 10th month, she gave birth to a boy baby and her health was normal. OM SRI SAI RAM!
May Baba bless all my sisters with motherhood soon.SHRADDHA SABURI OM SRI SAI RAMhttp://www.saibaba.us/texts/gurucharitra/index.htmlOm Sri Sai Ram! Om Sri Sai Ram! Om Sri Sai Ram! Om Sri Sai Ram! Om Sri Sai Ram!
