Bliss at shirdi.

[Pearl India]

om sai ram

My appologies to Baba for delaying this post.

I am here to share my experience at shirdi this time.It was really blissful.Baba gave expression to each and every thought or desire i had.
the experiences at sai tapobhoomi and with a saint at sai dham.

i am not a good naraator anymore,so please bear with me.



I used to get this answer from th question answer segment-u will visit religious lpaces like shirdi.u will meet a saint and u shall succed.(i am unable to put in exact words).and I waited for it to come true.It didnt happen during my last Shirdi visit as may be i xpected a lot and didnt surrender and its always as per Baba's wish.

Anyhow,I had put an extra day for  my visit to Shirdi,wanted to spend some time with Baba.

(the first favour he did was getting us train birtHs.though rac,but they were later confirmed.UNLIKE LAST TIME WHEN WE HAD TO GO SITTING IN GENERAL COMPARTMENT FOR 23 HOURS.i sang and herd baba bhajans all way,wanted to finish saisatcharita once during th trip,firstly thot of doing it in front of baba,on a thursday, at the parayan room.
DEEWANA TERA AAYA BABA TERI SHIRDI MEIN.)

(LAST TIME ITNE HECTIC SAFAR K BAAD WE WANTED ROOM IMMIDIATELY.AND IT WAS ALSO THE FIRST VISIT AND I DIDNT KNOW K SANSTHAN K ROOM K LIYE WAIT KARNA HOGA BABA REALLY TESTED US THEN.SO FROM KOPARGAON I WANTED TO RUSH AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR THE ROOM.BUT BABA PLAYED GAMES.HUMARA AUTO DHEERE DHEERE CHALTA RAHA,SAB AUTOS USE OVERTAKE KARTE RHE.DHARAMSHALA PAHUNCHNE KE BAAD,WE HAD TO WAIT, I WS PATIENT THIS TIME WAITING ROOM MEIN SAAMAN RAKH KE,WE WENT FOR THE DARSHANS )

We had brilliant darshans,though there was huge rush,but the Thirst was satisfied in just one darshan.(unlike my last visit,where i visited him many times but no satisfaction).
Baba was wearing the same colour of dress as mine(baba aur mere mein yehi chalta hai,last time bhi aise hi hua tha.)
I had taken a White dress with Turquise gota on its sides from Delhi only.Had bought the cloth and got it fixed by my masi at hEr boutique.

I also wished to offer a coconut to Baba,as i did in Delhi(and also to get it back as prasad from baba as we see in the serial and read in the saisatcharitra).

Firstly we went to Dwarkamai and i could see nariyals at shops outside there.But we were already in que and I didnt know how to and where to offer the coconut.(I had read smwhr,or someone told me and  I remembrd bluntly that in th temple premises there ws a counter where we have to give the coconut .)

However aftr coming from Dwarkamai when we were to visit the samadhi mandir,we took our shoes off at a shop,i saw Coconuts being provided with other pooja materials.I bought one along with some other things and the dress that i had brought for him.we took all things inside.chanted his name in the que and i cud also hear my fav hymn-TUM AASHA VISHWAS HUMARE.Baba made me sing it alongwith.It felt just wonderful.

I offered all th dakshina and was there talkin to my Baba,enamoured by him, that I forgot to offer the dress and coconut and everything.We were in th middle portion so that we could stay longer and be with him and so I could go back again to offer all the things.I informed the guard,but he shouted at me,as they were controling the crowds and also a man on wheelchair was being comforted to take darshans.I kept quiet and unperturbed and took it as a BLESSING IN DISGUISE FROM BABA.thought it was as baba scolded th bhaktas.And just after that,th guard was as if changed and easily allowed me to offer things.I also received Baba's blessings in th form of the flower.Till then I didnt had it in my mind that I had to give the coconut at the counter,nor did it came to my notice on coming out of the shrine.We gave the dress at the donation counter,bought some books,visited the Shani,Ganpati and Shiv ji temple which I had missed the last time.I wished to be inside for the evening aarti,but with all these things,we couldnt go for the ques and so we did aarti seeing Baba through the window.

Then Ma and Papa tried to arrange the passes for the Kakad aarti ,but were unsuccessful in that attempt.I had noticed the coconut counter but we had put all our belongings in the shop outside before the aarti.so i thought of bringing it back with me later the next day.

We went back to the new dharamshala.and by baba's grace got the room.

We were up the next morning i.e on the 13th of august friday,to attend th kakad aarti,but we were late and had to be in the que,as in a hurry i had forgottn to get th offered nariyal with me,i thought of buying another one and then giving it at the donation counter.We attended the kakad aarti in the ques and then moving slowly to him,offered th brought things and as i came out i just saw that th coconut counter was closed(early morning).

It  was early in the morning and it was a Thursday,so i wanted to burn incence sticks at the Gurusthan,but i hd forgottn to carry them.And the counters were closed,but still on requesting the guard in there,i could get a packet and Baba satisfied another desire accepted TH GESTURE and indeed helped me and made me offer it.

As for the coconut,i took it back to the room.and thought of bringing it back again.

We went back to the dharamshala.Had something.Ma and bhai went to th room for rest and i went back to the railway reservation counter with dad.BUT I FORGOT TO TAKE TH COCONUT AGAIN.
AND IT WAS A WISH FULFILED THAT BABA HAD GIVEN IT TO ME...BABA WANTED ME TO BRING IT BACK WITH ME AND NOT TO GIVE IT,JUST AS I WISHED.I ALWAYS IMAGINED BABA PUTTING A COCONUT IN MY JHOLI AS PRASAD.

WELL we came back and rested.Then set out again,mum asked someone in th bus(from dharamshala to samadhi mandir),bout the nearby places which we could visit in a few hours time.and also bout places in Aurangabad.(where we were to go th next day on our way to nanded)

that lady was from Nanded and told us bout , chakur,sai tapobhoomi etc in shirdi.

we asked the auto drivers to take us o the nearby places,tapobhoomi was all we knew bout.
when th rate wasn't fixed we tried another one,finalised we reached there.

there too baba accepted something which i will narrate in the next post

om sai ram

at our place,we can see many peacocks around,
so i had collected plenty of feathers this time.i wished to offer one to baba .but had never seen any with him.so it ws just a thought.

while coming to shirdi and collecting my stuff i dont know what but i had a voice saying,pick up that feather,i ignored it,...but then cud'nt again.i shortened it with a scissor,of size comfortable enough to be taken alongwith,safely kept in the sai satcharitra.

now it was ther in it and i cud'nt take it to samadhi mandir.

when we left for sai tapobhoomi,we carried minimum materials including a digicam.not even all cellphones.(but may be as i carried the saisatcharitra,expecting to read it in th parayan room,so it was there in the carry bag. )
at sai tapobhoomi,the baba idol i saw had a peacock feather in the throne.i was so glad to see it and realise why baba made me carry the feather.just to accept something just to fulfill another desire.

initially ididnt as mum n all were around,but then i took it out quietly without being noticed and dropped it in a corner,at baba's feet.(i am concious of being noticed doing all such things)

well i xpected and waited to meet the saint all the time.
we visited the khandoba temple at the tapobhoomi.

[Pearl India]

NOW THE REAL GAME BEGINS..........

Earlier mum had asked the auto wala bout the nearby places to visit.He told us about Sai Dhaam.The significance of that place being , The Baba who would tell you everything on seeing you. I felt this could be the saint, but wasn’t sure and surrendered to His will, I kept quiet. I thot if it was proper time,Baba would take me there. I should nt doubt or expect.And that if mum was interested we could go there.

But......

After having darshans at Sai Tapobhoomi,as all were tired Mum n Bhai opined that ,all Aemples were same,with statues of Sai Baba only,so whats the difference.And we should get back.But i had the thing of meeting that "Baba ji" in my mind,that he was a saint and that aftr meeting him,my problems will be solved as hinted by baba.I didnt want to miss the oppotunity and neither could i express it to my family.

We were on the verge of getting back,but I insisted,to go to Sai Dham,the rates were fixed with the auto drivers,but I kinda fighted,made faces,argued and against th wish of them all,i wished to go to Sai Dham.

They were irritated and were furious at me.But I insisted and asked Baba....k Baba aap dekh lo ab aapne hi kuch karna hai.
Then again,rates for sai dham could'nt be bargained with auto drivers .
Tried other autos n th anger of my dad was increasing as i was stiff and stubborn but silent ofcrs to get there,I again asked Baba.
And then we finally got into some auto and set for Sai Dham.

That place is in some remote village.

We saw a wish fulfilling tree and a beautiful garden compound with fountain etc.

The shrine was as beautiful,and Baba ke toh kya kehene.
HE WORE A BEAUTIFUL RED ROSE GARLAND.I SAW PEOPLE OFFERING BHEL LEAVES TO HIM(ONES OFFERED TO LORD SHIVA).AND I TOO OFFERED TH ONES I HAD TAKEN FROM DELHI,BUT THEY WERE CRUMPLED BY THEN.

It was a serene place.
But i searched for that Saint Baba.

Then someone came and told my mom dierecting towards the residendial area that go and meet Baba there.

There was a shrine in a room(a sheded one) ,we went there and prostrated before the photos and idols and came back.
There was no one there.

Thinkin it to be a residential area,we thought of not disturbing the peple......and something you know like knocking at the unknown house or getting somewhre we dont know,pata nhi kya but we didnt go further.

Then there was another hall,which we just skipped,I just went and looked at it from outside.
Then we took some pictures and all,it had started drizling.
We saw two girls,they were chitchating in the garden there,i still had hopes to meet th Saint Baba ji,where was he?
I requested one of them to click a family photograph for us.
Departing,I asked her if there ws anything special to visit,
She indicated towards the shrine,and the shrine in th room and said bas yehi hai,may be she didnt knew much,or i wanted to listen where that saint babaji was?

But it was over,we were going back to the auto,then taking another chance,I hinted Maa and she asked the auto driver if there was nything else worth seeing or visiting in that place,he said that ,have you met Baba ji,we said no,
he replied,what else is there ,if u hav'nt visited him.finalllyy,,a hope ,baba was playin games and gigling.

(actully we didnt want th auto wala to wait much so also we had rushed and i cudnt say much coz......maine pehele hi zid ki thi wahan aane ke liye)


But we rushed back again,to th residential area,the man who had earlier dierected us to th shrine in th shed(house),said baba ji must be in th house restin or something,u can go in.
While proceeding towards the house,
we saw another man coming out from the room,
may be it was a kitchen,there were sacks of onion or potato..i dnt knw nor do i remember now.....

He ws wearing glasses,and was in pyjamas and sleevd banyan(vest).
He said k wahi chalo dierecting towards th shrine in the shed.

That man came and we saw a woman and her daughter touching his feet.
He was the same,whom we had seen coming out......so simple,so casual.
couldnt believe he was a saint.

will write bout our experiences........
THE MAIN THING of the whole trip in th next post.

thanks fr being patient.

Seeing the two ladies touch BABA JI'S feet.we knew he was the one,but should we also touch his feet?
pata nhi......

but then he guided us futher,
he showed us the om that had come out of the floor,
we had been in that shrine earlier,but then we just bowed to the idols and photos of all gods and gurus.

he showed us the photo of baba ,where baba was seen in a tree bark.

he took us infront of a white idol,in which baba ws sitting as if in dwarkamayi,and a photo of baba that were placed together.and said"now baba is here,he is in shirdi too.par abhi yahan hain,baba ke gale se shehad nikalta hai.and dekho tum aaye ho toh baba ke cheeks red ho gaye hain.(k baba khush hain)."

he said ke ab yahan baitho aur baba se baat karo,maang lo jo bhi mangna hai.

and as he said was true.

maa aur main wahan baithe hue the.thodi der mein maa baba ji ke paas chali gayi.unke jaane ke baad maine baba ko pranam kiya and i started talking to him.i felt a different kind of pull.kuch toh tha jo mere dil se kuch khinch raha tha ya kuch jaa raha tha,main wahan baithi apni sab baatein bolti rahi,par shayad mujhe sunne ki bajaye baba kuch aur hi kaam kar rhe the mujhe pe.of crs yeh sab baatein maine unhe shirdi mein bhi kahi thi n kaibaar kahi thi.

but i dnt remember k main eunhe kya kaha,bas mujhe woh ehsas yaad hai jo baba ne mujhe diya,

maa babaji se baat kar rhi thi.mera dhyan bhi wahin jaa raha tha,(yeh sab type karte hue bhi,there was a different feeling within,)
main wahan se un vibes ko chod ke uth ke baba ji k paas ayyi unke peeche peeche,but he didnt look at me.......ignored me?(there was a reason fr this.sai tapobhoomi pe i thought,if jinse hum milne jaa rahe hain,he is a real saint,toh wht will happen if he expresses about my relationship infront of my parents.being scared i asked baba to take care ,tht baba only is taking me to HIm and tht he knws wht th saint will tell us or baba can tell him)
and then looking at maa he said.......
"jo bhi baba ne tumhe kaha hai woh dheere dheere sach hoga,phir dar kis baat ka hai"?( , though he was looking at maa and telling her,but i knew k answers to baba mujhe hi dete hain na,so i really felt it ws fr me,fr my relationship)

he added
" tumhe shirdi mein,bohot bheed k baad bhi baba ne bohot achchhe darshan diye hain,aise darshan pehele kabhi nhi hue." and maa said yes. he said"baba tumhe phir se darshan denge".

unhone maa ko bhi bataya k maa ne baba se shirdi mein apne parivaar ki sukh shanti manngi which ws true.
phir unhone bhai ko bataya k usne baba se apni zindagi banane ki prarthna ki.(like fr his career,)which ws true as well.[/b]then he asked us to go to th HALL,and said k chalo baba abhi wahi aa rahe hai,(ye nhi samajh paaye k sai baba ya woh babaji khud)

but hall ws a nice one,
a big hall,jahan baba ki ek life size potrait thi,it looked at you onlychahe aap dierections bhi change kar lo.......

in th next post i shall tell k
how baba gave me darshans as said by th saint babaji.......

om sai ma

we were in the auto on our way back to shirdi.
we had crossed th sai tapobhoomi.

and what i saw was just.......i cant put it in words.

I SAW BABA'S IMAGE IN CLOUDS.THE CLOUDS TOOK THE SHAPE OF BABA.BABA WAS THERE.I CUD'NT BELIEVE IT.
I CUD'NT TEL IT TO ANYBODY.I KEPT LOOKING AT IT AND CONFIRMING MY VIEW.BABA WAS THERE.HE HAD FULFILLED ANOTHER DESIRE.(My guy once told me tht thr ws a news in IBN7 tht sai baba ws seen i clouds in kashmir,i cudnt see the news,but then often standing in my verandah i looked at the clouds,searching baba.and then jab nhi mile toh aftr sm tym i stopped it,but wished to see him in tht form)
I TRIED MY BEST TO CAPTURE HIS PI CIN THE DIGITAL CAMERA.BUT OF NO USE,PICTURE NHI AA RHI THI....AND IN SOME TIME...BABA DISAPPEARED.
MAIN KISI KO KUCH BHI NI BATA SAKI,THERE WERE OTHERS APART FROM OUR FAMILY OF FOUR IN THE AUTO.AND PATA NHI KYUN PAR MAIN NHI BATA PAAYI.

this was all about my experience at shirdi.
aise hain umare baba.
improper narration ke liye maafi chahungi.

but this time i was adamant ke baba main khali haath nhi aaungi.and he sent me with MY BAGS FULL.just need to pe receptive to him and surrender to him,do not discriminate.

shirdi se aane k baad hi,meri professional probs solve ho gayi.....ekdum se jhhat se pata bhi ni chala
mere principal sir and mere beech mein bohot misunderstandings thi , doosro ki create ki hui.but everything cleared up and he treats me like a kid now.an di too offer him due respect.

bas all i m waiting for is vikas' marriage to b cancelled.situations k hisab se khud ko mould karte hue relation ka essence bhi nikal jaata hai.
he calls me a fool when i tell him tht baba is in control.and pehele bhi unhone hi tumhari shadi cancel karwai n ab 3 baar se postpone.ab phir feb ki dates aa rhi hai.
ek taraf se m so tired k ab i feel k agar baba yeh chahte hain k i shud leave him n tht we'l nt b happy togethr..it'd b ok.i'l do as baba say.coz agar itna pray karne k baad,itna sehne k baad bhi agar baba mujhe nhi de rhe to its obviously for a reason.
inn 3 years mein baba ne bohot sambhala.
hw i hd come to this forum,scared and lost,like a lamb.
baba took care of me,unhone pala hai.

but at th same time,he asks me to b patient,and not to doubt and hints tht divine help arrives only when we think of quiting.
 

m still sure k sab theek ho jayega k baba will get me married to him.

 i fear k mera future uske sath kaisa hoga and thinkin this,i ws in th question answer site,when baba said k "u will have a happy married life and your desire will be fulfilled."

phir main kya manu....jo relation practically aisa ho rha hai k main khud bhi shayad khatam karun,
ya yeh jo baba kehta hain.

the answers give me hope to move on.
and i m crepaing towards what,i dnt knw.

but all i iknw is baba is thr to tk care of this stupid child.

and all i hv cncluded during all this is.

NO MAN ON THIS EARTH DESERVES TRUE LOVE.ITS JUST MEANT FOR GOD.
