OMSAIRAM!My Shirdi experience in March
I had booked my tickets for going to Shirdi from delhi in April and i got a call from my dear friend jyoti to acompany her to shirdi. As she was going with her son and maid...so i cancelled my tickets for April ...though my other friends were angry with me and i went with her to Shirdi.
The trip was what BABA had planned for us which i want to recall now....we reached shirdi and checked into Sai Dham
hotel.As we had gone during Ram Navami there was too much rush and we cud only get passes for sheja aarti..we had gud darshan in Dwarkamai...as we attended shej aarti...as we were lucky to stand in the front row..pujariji recognized jyoti and told her that tomorrow u must come at 9 am and sing bhajan in Samadhi Mandir...we both were very excited and also could not sleep properly.
we both woke up early and went to the Mandir for darshan...we went to Dwarkamai...chavadi and then to Samadhi Mandir.
There we were looking for pujari ji suryavanshi ji...later we saw one 12 yr old boy who was wearing the clothes like pujari ji...he seemed to be a pujari...jyoti asked him have u seen suryavanshi ji...he said no and asked us y we were asking...she said she was called by him...he told her that he lost his mother 3 years back and she resembled her mother.I gave him peda an he took only a lil bit...though he was a kid..i was surprised..then he asked jyoti to sing bhajan...jyoti sang a few lines..we both lovingly blessed him..he went away...we also came out ...and looked around..
there were many Baba's signatures which i started seeing ...and told jyoti...that boy was BABA...my Mom had passed away in 2007 and exactly 3 yrs later i was in Shirdi...and BABA seemed to tell me that beta i know all about u..
to be continued......................................
As i recalled my experience i really cried and could nt write further..i lost my Mom in Feb 2007 and in March 2010 deva called me to Shirdi and showed me HIS leelas..i resemble my Mom a lot as deva told jyoti that thought started sinking into me...also my Mom was a diabetic and she used to take lil bit of sweet...like that boy took..
Next day when i went to Samadhi Mandir for darshan..i was in the que towards Baba's feet..i offered my chadar and bowed to BABA's feet and came out...there were few Japanese guests who were making entry from the backside..i and Jyoti's maid stood in the que with the Japanese..i again had BABA's darshan in Samadhi Mandir and bowed to HIS holy lotus feet..As i stood there talking with deva..i saw a piece of cloth near deva's feet..i asked Pujariji to give me that.He was reluctant and was dilly dallling..i requested him and said that i want that..finally he gave me that piece of cloth ..as i came out..i saw the japanese also going inside through the other side....i went inside and bowed to BABA..BABA gave me his darshan 3 times in 10 minutes as if HE was micheviously playing with me like a father.
later when i went to the room and opened that cloth which was inside a sealed plastig bag..it was BABA's turban(patka) in pink..A father gifting to his daughter saying beta mera haath tere upar hai..as i m a sikh it has lot of meaning...i hugged the patka and cried....BABA made me realize that though i had lost my Mom ..he knew what all has happened in my life in the last 3 years and like a loving father was taking care of me and will always take care of me...for HE is my FATHER
to be continued...............................
In the Night we all had dinner in Sai Dham hotel...Jyoti's son did nt have and insisted to have idli sambar.Jyoti and her son got ready to leave,i also went with them.We walked to a South Indian Restaurant and had to see BABA's amazing leelas.There were 2 ladies having there food.i started talking with them.They said they come to Shirdi twice a year from Mumbai bare foot and they dont even feel tired.They do Sai Nam jap on the way.BABA showed to all of us devotion of those devotees.Later we went around and saw so many palkis and bowed to deva....i wished i could live in Shirdi forever..
Next day we went to Samadhi Mandir and saw a fakir who was dressed like deva.i bowed to him,he gave me Sai baba's sticker which i have pasted on my Sai Satcharitra.He told me these days in Samadhi Mandir guards do not allow him to do Sai nam jap..later i realized in forum some devotees were stopped from doing Sai Nam jap...BABA seem to be telling me to do more jap and spend more time with HIM doing meditation...........fool that i am i have still to learn a lot..
to be continued..............
Last day of our stay we went to Samadhi Mandir for darshan and taking permission from deva.With a heavy heart took leave from BABA.When we came out and had Mukh darshan...that moment seemed like eternity...with tears in our eyes we came out
We came back to the hotel and checked out.We were waiting for the Van guy to come...i was looking at BABA's Dwarkamai photo in the reception...somehow BABA was looking strangely at me..i can still remember how HE looked at me..then the van guy came and he drove to Manmad..
We had planned that we will go to Akkalkot.But our Akkalkot was in Shirdi as written in SSC.Swami Samartha's leelas are amazing.
Swami Samartha called us to HIS Mandir in Kopargaon and Manmad and also made us attend aarti. We also got prasad.We also had gud darshan in Manmad Gurudwara and had langar .Igot for my dad patka from Manmad Gurudwara which he lovingly wears it.
Then we came to the station and boarded the train....More leelas of deva and he showed us our aukat in the train..
to be contd..................
As we sat in the train..little later a couple came and said the berths were their's..they showed their tickets..later TT came and saw that our tickets were for next day...he told us either to get down in the next station or take a new ticket.Jyoti called one of our brothers from Sai Parivar and told him the situation.Jyoti also told me that the chapter that opened today was of Ramgir bua...BABA told him that Allah will provide from Kopergaon
Sehgal bhai arranged for our tickets and sent it through one of his sisters servant in Kopargaon..we had a sigh of relief...but those were general tickets.Our compartment people were very accomodating and let us sit with them till 8 pm.Jyoti sang bhajans and everyone joined us in Sai baba 's JaiJaikar
later few people told us to sleep down...i told BABA ab to aukat hi dikha do..as were getting ready to put our beds down ..TT came and told us he had got our tickets confirmed and we had to shift to another coach...i realized y baba looked at me strangely in Sai Dham hotel reception.We shifted to another coach and were placed comfortably.Jyoti gave her son's ticket to one elderly person who was sleeping down.
whole night Jyoti me listened to our fav bhajan through her ipod...Guru meri puja...
गुरु मेरी पूजा , गुरु गोविन्द
गुरु मेरा पार ब्रह्म , गुरु भगवंत
गुरु मेरा देऊ , अलख अभेऊ , सर्व पूज चरण गुरु सेवऊ
गुरु मेरी पूजा , गुरु गोविन्द , गुरु मेरा पार ब्रह्म , गुरु भगवंत
गुरु का दर्शन .... देख - देख जीवां , गुरु के चरण धोये -धोये पीवां
we reached home safely...
As i reached home and came to my room ....i cried as if i didnt belong here..i felt Shirdi was my home which i had left..
The trip was what BABA had planned for us ...No one can go to Shirdi without Baba's permission and no one can stay there on its own...its all BABA 's will
Bow to Sri Sai!
Sai baba let your holy lotus feet be our sole refuge.OMSAIRAM
