Sai Ram
In Year 2001, When I was in Jaipur, and I was driving to my office (I still remember the place where this idea came into my mind) and suddenly an idea came into my mind.
I thought “If I have 1 lac rupees, I will start a Sai Baba website”. This was the first day when I thought of a Sai Baba website.
Later, I changed my company and joined a Software Dev Company. This comp was a leading Web hosting provider company in Jaipur. I came to know that hosting a website is not very expensive.
I searched the Net for available Sai Baba websites and found that few good websites. Now I had to decide a good name for our website. I searched a lot for a proper domain name but was not successful. Finally decided to go for
www.shidri-sai-baba.com name.
I designed few sample pages and hosted them to web server. Initially this website did not have a proper look and feel and design was more like a IT website.
Later, I came across with a very beautiful website on tours and travels and I got the idea of new look and feel of my website. I started working on same and finally when it was completed, believe me, I was in love.
I kept on watching my home page for minutes. I don’t know why, but I think it was like Baba wanted me to look at him. Like….he wanted to inspire me….I think I was crazy.
Later with the help of my cousin Chetan and one trainee in that company, I was able to upload Sai Satcharitra. I spent hours to improve look and feel.
With the help of my colleagues, I was able to submit this website to various search engines. Initial response from visitors was very positive and I got many emails telling me that “This is one of beautiful website I have ever seen” or “I feel like I am in Baba’s Temple”. Even I felt the same. May be BABA was driving me and inspiring me.
After 9-10 months, When I was thinking what I can provide through this website, I though of some type of interaction among Sai Devotees. As I was a developer so I thought I can develop something which can be used as communication channel. Once when I was surfing, I found this Forum. I downloaded this and install on the server.
And since then, it was going on.
It was like…I initiated the idea and BABA showed me the way. BABA always guides me and always kept an eye on this forum.
