DWARKAMAI's LEELAS(She is our Mother)

[Dipika]

‘He who loves Him whole heartedly, gets response from Him at any time, at any place.’

I cannot clearly remember how and when I got a very small clay idol of my beloved Sai Baba. At that time I knew nothing about Him and placed Him in a showcase. Today, I realize, the moment he stepped into my house was surely the most auspicious moment of my life.

In the year 1998, Sonia, a very close fiend of my daughter gave us a photo of Baba and the holy book ‘Sri Sai Satcharitra’. Since then we are showered by His endless kindness and blessings. I have experienced many incidents that cannot be explained by practical aspects. From those precious experiences, one, I think is unbelievable.

A relative of mine was preparing to go to Bombay. As I came to know, I insisted that she go to Shirdi. I did not know how much she believes Baba. I gave her an idol of Baba and used to talk about Him and His kindness when she was in distress. The day she set out for Bombay, I felt very low.

I have a long cherished desire to go to Shirdi. I don’t know when He will allow me to bow my head down at His Holy Lotus Feet. I felt very low and wept a lot. The next day I found a saffron coloured multi-petalled chin rose has bloomed. It was the first flower of that tiny plant. The flower was exceptionally big and mesmerized me with its brightness. I plucked it and placed it on Baba’s Lotus Feet in my pooja room. It was 9 o’clock in the morning.

All day I was very busy. At about 10 o’clock at night I suddenly noticed that the flower was still as fresh as it was when I plucked it in the morning. It was paced in the dry surface at Baba’s Feet and it got the heat of the candle that I lit under the shelf in the morning and evening. It haunts me a lot. It is not possible for a tender flower to be fresh for such a long time.

I have a habit that when I wake up in the morning, I first open the door of the pooja room and give my pranam to Baba. As I opened the door I was astonished. The flower was just as fresh as it was yesterday morning. Tears came to my eyes. In my conscience as if I heard – “I am with you; My abode is in your heart and I am within you.” I was thrilled.

That day also the flower looked fresh. The next day at about 9 o’clock that is after 48 hours, the petals of the flower started drying up. Later I went to the Sai Baba’s temple where the pujariji insisted I buy an audio CD as I was asking him for another one. I came back home with that audio CD which pujariji persuaded me to buy. It was a VCD. The songs were picturised inside the Shirdi Mandir and the surrounding areas of the mandir. I was spell bound.

I asked my relative to bring Udi, Prasad and photo of Baba. She came back to Kolkata and left her bag over there in Bombay. But unexpectedly I got Udi, Prasad and photo of Baba from another person who also went to Shirdi at the same time.

As I am now unable to go to Shirdi, my generous Baba has accepted my pooja and darshan this way. Deep in my heart I consider all these incidents as His kindness. He is omniscient – He is everywhere, I realize. He surely sees all that we feel – all that we desire.

Uncanny are the ways in which Baba shows His beneficence to His devotees. In a sequel to the incident I had recounted recently in Sai Vichaar after my visit to Shirdi for Ramanavami celebrations there, Baba answered the prayers of my office colleague who also joined me from Hyderabad. Baba has helped him with a much awaited job in LIC. He was assiduously making efforts to join LIC after both his parents died while in service with LIC 4 years ago. Both my colleague and I have visited Shirdi 3 times since last August. I advised him to have absolute faith in Baba and sincerely pray for his recruitment in LIC. After 4 years of disappointment and anxiety, his prayers were rewarded, after he turned to Baba.

Recently, I had visited a restaurant and after paying the bill, I got distracted by my son and left my purse in the restaurant. This happened around noon. I had come back to my house, did my usual chores. I never realized that I lost my purse. And around 9:00 pm at night somebody rang the bell. I opened and there was this person standing with my purse and I was shocked. He was the restaurant manager and told me that they found the way to my house from my driver's license and handed over the purse. I was shocked for a little while. I always carry Sri Saibaba's picture in my purse and I believe it is only Baba who helped me that day. I thanked the restaurant manager and prayed to Baba to shower his blessings on them. There are many instances in my life where I have felt Baba's presence. One other incident was when my husband had to take an exam for his professional license and he took it on a Saturday and after the exam was over, he got a score, which was just one point below the passing score. We were shocked and my husband was so depressed. It was totally unexpected and so on Monday he called the exam board about rescheduling. To our astonishment, the person at the board reviewed my husband's information and said that there was a mistake in the scoring in the exam and my husband had actually scored a high score of 92. All this is Baba's grace. When difficulties strike, I hold on to Baba's advice Faith and Patience. He never leaves you. Just hold on to his hand and walk through the journey of life. Everything will be clear.

I really wanted to go to Shirdi since a long time. And I had a book wherein you ask any question with pure heart and think of a number and then you look for an answer in front of that particular number in the book. I looked for an answer in the book and the answer said, "Come to Shirdi and all your prayers shall be answered." Now I am the only believer of Baba in my family so I thought how would I go to Shirdi!!! To my surprise right after 2 days, one of my very close aunts calls me and asks me to make a plan to Shirdi. My happiness knew no bounds and thus started the plan of going to Shirdi. I have a very strong faith in Baba and I know that Baba can only take me out of the problem I am currently facing. So I was really excited to go...Then after a few days my mother also made a plan to go to Shirdi with me and my aunt and uncle. We took darshan of Baba on 3rd April 2008. As I left for Shirdi, I was just praying to Baba that after your darshan Baba, I really hope that my problem is solved and that I get to see Baba very closely and nicely. Such a coincidence it was, that my plan to go to Shirdi and my boyfriend's plan to go to Shirdi was made on the same dates, we went by the same flight and train, and had gone at the same time to take darshan of baba - 5:00 am in the morning for kakad aarti. My problem also was that Baba helps me in convincing my parents to say yes for our marriage. It was hard to control the smile on my face as soon as I saw Baba in the mandir. It was like Baba is looking at me and smiling.

continued....
As I was singing Om Jai Jagdish, kakad aarti with the crowd, my mother starting feeling nauseated and she sat down. My mind was now on my mother also to see if she was fine. Slowly her health started to worsen and I didn't know what to do. I took her at the back but from there I could not see Baba properly. I was praying inside that something happens and I get back to the front to see Baba. Then my mother said that she needs to go out to freshen a little. Obviously, I could not refuse her, so I went with her also. I got water for her as well. When I came back to the temple, I was made to stand at the back of the rows and now I was not at all able to see Baba. So tears started falling from my eyes and I told Baba that I had so much in mind when I came to see you and I was hoping for a miracle but here I cant see u only. The moment I started crying and I prayed, a lady right in front of me told me to go in the front and try to convince the security people to let u have the darshan of Baba. They said they'd look after my mother. So I went ahead and asked the security person to please let me go in the front. Then finally, he made me sit in the center of the two rows where generally the VVIP's or the pandits or the trustees sit. I could not have had a better darshan than this. With no one in front of my eyes, I saw Baba's abhishek. I really thank my Baba for listening to me. And the very next day my uncle called me and told me that he will help me in every way he can to convince my parents. So I got my wishes, a wonderful darshan and a step ahead to solve my problem.

A poor man named Laxmanrao Govindrao Munge lived in Nashik. He used to sit in the threshold of Nashik court. He did some documentation work and at the end of the day he earned only one rupee or one and half rupee.

In those days, for a girl to be given in marriage, only boy’s qualification, salary, etc was not considered by her family. The boy may be poor, but his family, family’s behaviour with others and above all maternal uncle’s family had to be good. Laxmanrao’s maternal uncle lived in Rahata village. Due to his maternal uncle’s good family background and high position, Laxmanrao’s marriage was fixed in a good family. Now the question was of money for the expenses of his marriage. He had to compulsorily give gold ornaments and the whole expense of his marriage was to be borne single handed. Moreover in those days a man was valued by his word of mouth. If a man had promised to give something in social functions like marriage or similar occasions, those words could not be taken back. It would be better to consume poison rather than turn back from one’s words.

Laxmanrao was worried about the expenses. Like a person has hope on a single star in a dark night, so Laxmanrao had hope from his uncle. He was confident that his uncle would help him in monetary terms. Thinking likewise, he started to Rahata to his uncle’s place from Nashik. In between, he came to Shirdi, Sai Baba’s holy land.

Laxmanrao came to Sai Baba’s Dwarkamai and fell at His feet. Sai Baba gave him two mangoes to eat. The mangoes were incredibly sweet in taste. Then Laxmanrao sat massaging Sai Baba’s feet. Sai Baba started talking with him and said, “Whatever is written in your fate, you are bound to get. Always have a feeling of satisfaction in your heart and be happy with whatever you have. Without God’s order, even a leaf cannot move. So don’t worry and always try to be simple, honest and truthful. I am independent and have independent thoughts, is said by many people, but this is not true. God is the only Doer, we are dependent on Him, my son! No one is relative of anyone. Relatives are only for show off, but no one come to help you in critical situations. If you want one-two thousand rupees, I can give you. Laxmanrao failed to understand what Sai Baba wanted to say. He then left for Rahata to his uncle’s place. His uncle refused to help him. Now Laxmanrao was reminded of Sai Baba’s words that, “No one is relative of anyone. Relations and relatives are only for show off. If you want I can give you money. Walking out of Rahata village, he further thought, “Everyday Sai Baba distributes all the money received as dakshina and next day He becomes a poor Fakir. Then how can He give me such a big amount of money?” But now he started praying to Sai Baba mentally, “Oh God, Sainath! You are omnipotent. I don’t have that much courage to understand your sweet words. I am not very intelligent and my devotion to You is also less than that. Oh God! Bless me. You have promised me to give one-two thousand rupees, but I cannot understand the exact meaning of your words”. Now he reached to a place named Sinnor.

There was a big business of cigarettes and tobacco of Gujarati traders in Sinnor and Laxmanrao was initially introduced to a Gujarati Trader. After a couple of meetings, the trader generated trust on Laxmanrao. So he gave Laxmanrao 30 Tolas (a tola means 10 gram of gold), a nose ring, which is considered to be very important in Marathi Tradition and a diamond studded pair anklets. In this way Sai Baba arranged money for the expenses of Laxmanrao’s marriage being a poor Fakir. Is it not Sai Baba's Leela He Laxmanrao met the Gujarati trader and in turn was helped by a stranger. Thus by Sai Baba’s grace, Laxmanrao’s marriage went off without any trouble and he was ever grateful to Sai Baba.

Once a gentleman came for Baba’s darshan from Thane District. Baba said to him, “You continue your worship of Lord Hanumanji”. Why Baba gave such an advice, the gentleman failed to understand. When he went to Wada, people there asked him, “Do you worship Lord Hanumanji daily?” at that point he was reminded and said, “Yes, there is a Panchmukhi Hanuman Temple in front of my house and I do not eat anything without going to the temple and worshipping Lord Hanuman.” Thus Baba made his many years worship firm.

Baba did not have His independent cult or tradition. Baba did not ask anybody t leave their present worship and worship Him only. But He showed the right path to the one who forgets it again.

HOW BABA INSPIRED SHRI M. K. RAJAGOPALACHARY TO BUILD BABA'S MANDIR AT NELLORE (A.P)
Doctor M. K. Rajagopalachari of Nellore had got a photo and UDI of Shri Sai Baba, Shirdi, through Rao Saheb Chandu Subbaiah Setty after his return from Shirdi visit, as he was his family doctor. He put the photo on the top of his Almyrah in his dispensary in Rajaji Street , Nellore without evincing much interest and in a most casual way. After some days, the doctor had a dream one night. A tall Fakir in long torn gown walked up to him and showed some wounds and eruptions on his skin below his two knees and asked him to dress up his wounds. Seeing the Fakir, the doctor was wonder struck with his extraordi­nary appearance, graceful and kind personality and the doctor immediately dressed up His wounds in his own hands with great care and interest. Then the Fakir said that he was very much relieved of the pain and blessed him and left. After two or three days of this incident while the doctor cleaning the dust and debris on the Almyrahs he happened to look at the Baba's photo and that the portions down below Baba's knee was eaten away by white ants and this condition reminded the doctor of the incident in his dream. The doctor came to know that the Fakir who blessed him in his dream was no other than Shri Sai Baba Shirdi and his eager grew more to know about Baba. In 1939, he invi­ted his Holiness B. V. Narasimhaswamy to Nellore . The Swamiji gave lectures about the life and leelas of Shri Sai Baba. In October, 1940, the doctor made a trip to Shirdi. He met His Holiness Shri B. V. Narasimhaswamy and Shri Kesavaiah Swamiji. The doctor returned from Shirdi with a firm determination to build a regular mandir immediately after his return to Nellore . Accordingly with his tireless effort along with other Sai devotees a pucka mandir of Shri Sai Baba Shirdi was erected at Nellore with a Mandali by name "The Nellore Shri Sai Baba Baktha Mandali"   for its   maintenance.

HOW BABA SAVED THE SISTER OF SHRI BHIKAJI MOHEDJI
A servant drawing a monthly salary of Rs. 36/- Bhikaji Mohedji has a sister Chhaboo. She had been ill for about 4 months. On 5-12-1951, her illness took a critical turn, so he was very anxious to get for her the benefit of a good doctor's advice and medicine, but within the meager salary, it was not at all possible for him to get there. Having sighs upon sighs, bemoaning his inability he carried on his office duties, chanting Sai Baba's name when suddenly there came in a   doctor for some enquiry. Though Bhikaji could not recognise him, through Sai's grace the doctor himself reminded Bhikaji of his previous connection with  him.     So Bhikaji narrated to him the difficulty and requested him to examine her and prescribed the necessary medicines. The doctor readily complied with Bhikaji’s request. Bhikaji thus got over his worries and felt assured that Baba was ever ready to shower His grace ever on a poor man like himself.

BABA MADE SHRI KAKASAHEB DIXIT TO ATTEND THE DINNER PARTY ARRANGED BY SHRI KRISHNA RAO NARAYAN    PARULKAR HARDA AND SATISFIED HIM
Shri Krishna Rao Narayan Parulkar, Honorary Magistrate of Harda has been celebrating "Shri Datta Festival” for several years usually falling in December and feeding one hundred Brahmins on that occasion and whenever for some reason or other he was not able to do so in a year, he would feed double the usual number i. e. two hundred brahmin in the next year. As per that self imposed rule, he was to feed two hundred brahmins in respect of that celebration in the year 1925. One Saturday was fixed for dinner, only when five days were left to it, that is on Monday. On Tuesday when Parulkar was merged in meditation as per his   daily routine, he heard a voice saying,"If you desire that on the day you are feeding the brahmins, I should come and dine with them, you call Sri Dixit from   Bombay .” Parulkar however thought to himself whether it was proper for him to request Shri Dixit to come such a long distance simply for taking dinner while he was in the midst of such conflict of thoughts, he again heard the voice, "Why did you puzzle? Write to Dixit, feed him with all the other brahmins and when you have done so, know it for certain that I joined the party taking dinner at yours.”    So Parulkar wrote to Shri Dixit on Wednesday requesting him to attend the dinner on Saturday. Failing to hear from Shri Dixit all prepa­rations were made for serving the dinner on Saturday, Parulkar with tearful eyes requested Baba to set matters right and then taking his bath, so soon as he started doing his midday routine prayers, he got a telegram from Shri Dixit informing him that he and Madhavrao Deshpande were on the way to Harda. All were glad­dened to receive the news. They all went to the sta­tion to receive them, accorded them a hearty welcome and gave them a sumptuous feast in the company of the two hundred brahmins. Sri Parulkar was overjoyed and he now felt that Baba is still there to satisfy all the Godly craving of his heart.

BABA SATISFIED THE WISHES OF SMT. MANI SAHUKAR BY GIVING MEDICINE FOR HER SUFFERINGS IN HER THROAT
Smt Mani Sahukar author of the book Saint of Shirdi about the year 1950 started suffering from the peculiar ailment of the throat. She was a sincere student of vocal Hindustani classical music. Owing to the sufferings in the throat she was not able to sing continuously for ten minutes. She consulted many doctors but in vain. After six months, she came to Shirdi and stood before the Samadhi of Shri Sai Baba, her heart and eyes suddenly wetted with tears. She came out of the Samadhi Mandir and went over to visit a friend. After discussion with her friend, she came to her room behind the Gurusthan at about 7-30 P.M. In order to make herself comfortable, she started removing her sari from her left shoulder. As she removed, she heard something rustling in the sari and a small packet about 2 inches long made up in white paper fell from her sari to the ground. She was perplexed for a mo­ment and looked around her wondering what had happened. There was no one. She picked and unfolded it. To her amazement in contained six or seven tiny white tablets which may commonly used in homeopathy. When she realised the significance of this, she wrapped her sari again and went to her friend with the tablets. Her friend told her, "You understand, don't you know that this is Baba's Prasad. What are you going to do with it?” She replied that she will take all these tablets.
So saying she put all these tablets in her mouth. When she returned home from Shirdi, she found that she should sing without any hindrance and all the conges­tion in her throat entirely disappeared. Her heart over­flowed gratitude to Baba.
