Few things that happened over the months

[Kavitaparna]

Sairam Shweta,
I personally use rosary as well as tulsi mala during Japa. Just whatever that's available near me. Sometimes i use markings in fingers to count.
Please feel free to use anything, the important thing is to give our True love  and undivided attention to Sai.
Jai Sairam.

om sri sai ram

Saidasan ji, Swetha ji, Sai Ram

Swetha, even I was using the markings on fingers for japa.

As Saidasan ji says , it is our love, bhakti and involvement that count more.

[Swetha Suresh]

Kavitha ji 
Thank u so much for this guidance
I have started using my fingers for counting and restarted doing my japam hope things get well soon

Over the months here i have put on good weight and now  trying hard to put it down ...i go for walking daily in the morning and there are these nigerian guys and local boys who come and unnecessarily trouble others pass comments etc ....i literally stopped going for walking due to this for a long time ....after sai's entry as my guru one day suresh suggested me to call sai with me and go to walk and since sai will be with me no fears whatsoever ...i felt this was a good suggestion and i requested sai to come along with me and left for my walk, though  went with a fear ...Park opens at 6.30 and  i usually walk outside the park ...that day i walked one round outside and the park was open tilll then i had not walked inside .....

something kept calling me inside the park and i went ...i saw a moslem gentleman who resembled our sai with similiar features doing japam and i kept staring at him i wasn't sure if that was sai how could i go near ....he was chanting allah's name just as our sai kept chanting rama's name ....looking at me he moved his hand and said good morning and i reciprocated to this jesture with a smile ....i was sure sai was around and walked for  fearlessly ..i kept  looking if that gentleman was there and he was doing his japam ...on that day i had resolved to walk for 45 minutes and then leave as i had some work to attend later in the day ...after some time i noticed that the gentleman was leaving ...i too left and in haste came back ...to my surprise when i looked at the watch i had walked for 45 minutes correctly as it takes 5 minutes to reach home from park ....

when i told suresh about it he said here everyone wears a white dress does that make everyone sai u must have been mistaken ...but the timing and the strong want to take me inside the park was not a mere coincidence ...ever since that day i have walked inside the park and daily i see this gentleman who sits till i complete my walking .......i have felt safe and no troubles since then ....

What can i ask sai for  diwali .....on that day i had a crazy desire i wanted food from sai's kitchen ...i told him that his daughter wanted him to send her a prasad from his "magic pot"...i waited till evening and no prasad came .....i was very upset yet had hope that sai would not disappoint me ...that night we had to attend the first birthday of one of suresh's friends son.... after the lakshmi pojan we got ready to go i was upset with sai telling him that he has not given his duaghter gift for diwali as yet ...when we picked the birthday boy up and went to the restaurant the name read "Dwarika" i was left with no clue...what else can i think of , but,  it did not strike me that sai lived and served food from dwarikamai ....all went inside and i got with my helping hand preparing the table to be set for 15 people ...suresh suddenly rushed in and said look ur father is here ....i thought what is wrong with this fellow  my father and in dubai i spoke to him this morning and he gave me no such intimation  ...though did not think he was talking about sai .....later he showed me the entrace of the hotel...it was a huge sai's photograph .....it the struck me that suresh addressed sai as my father he knew how upset i was that sai did not give me his prasad ....suresh was making fun of me telling me that he is celebrating his "thalai deepavali"which means his first diwali after marriage  which as per customs is celebrated in the girls house.....he said  that he is in his in laws house having dinner .......what a blessing on diwali  ...i thanked sai for this huge gift ...so many people having food there i felt as if i am in his dwarikamai having food ...here there are not many restaurants that have diety photo's ...u can count such restuarants .....and this was a mere coincidence and sai's leela offcourse ....why a hotel whose name we had not heard at all ...and to tell u all the party was to be shifted to a different hotel on that day as the managment was not ready for a buffet due to the small number of guests ,  later the hotel staff called and confirmed the buffet ...who else can do this but our Sai 

Thank u deva for being with me .....

After Diwali came my birthday... a Day when everyone seek baba's blessings ......before telling u baba's leela on my birthday i must tell u about a friend who does not much believe in god but whenever he comes to our house stares at the photo of sai in the hall he say's that "it feels as if this is really a human being "and everytime i tell him that sai is there but u need to believe in him ....he always has his own arguments on god and i have my set of answers .....


on my birthday i had to organise dinner for around 20 people ....i wanted to call all home but space was not conducive so suresh asked me if he organise a party at Same Dwarika restaurant ...i wanted to tease sai and i told  suresh every time i go to Sai now let sai come to me ....we know that sai is in Dwarika but i want Sai wherever i go ....then we finalised a Restaurant Sukh sagar and booked the table ....i knew sai wouldnt disappoint me ...but a strange fear that told me what if Sai wouldnt come?? i knew sai would do no such thing but what if he does??? evening  we got ready and went to the hotel everyone assembled and we started to order then this friend whom i had mentioned gave me a parcel saying that it was my birthday gift ...i thanked him but he told me that i will definately cry once i see the gift ....i thought what could this possibly be ...but my eyes were searching for Sai's photograh atleast...a small one i did not want the day to go bad i prayed sai and asked him to come ......i told him his daughter is celebrating her birthday so please come and grace me as he did for diwali.....

Later i opened my friends parcel ...guess what he could have given me a sai crystal ...Which ever way we see we can see sai ...It symbolised one thing sai is with me in whatever direction i see .....later this friend said" see i brought ur sai to u .i was thinking what to get for u i knew this would make ur day "
my words kept coming in my mind "i want sai to come to me " and tears rolling down my eyes i felt very happy to recieve the most precious birthday gift ever .......  i have kept it in my mandir ......it was hard to believe that such a person who does not belive in god giving me such  a gift .....who else but sai has his own ways of communicating and reaching his bhaktas ...and we dont find crystals with sai bab's photo's here u sually have jesus ad ganesh ji's photo but sai baba  very rare and i know for sure it is baba's leela to reach me

i consider myself lucky to have been in the company of ardent bhaktas like u .....and the more we read on baba the more our faith increases in him just as when i read ur experiences the tears roll down immediately...... a feeling that only sai's children can feel.... the feeling of our father being with us always

thank you for motivating us to write down even our small experiences and bless us as always..... as i have told ur a   mother who is willing to share with us everything and a one who has given us all the love , encouragement, and support that we need to firmly belive in our baba ...

Please continue to shower your blessings on us as always

om srisiaram gurudevadatta,

yes swethaji you are right. i too had similar experience like you.

in 2005 i had a miscarraige and lots of other pressures from in-laws. but i had this belief in sai ma, that he can never be wrong. may be there is something wrong with baby. then i silently prayed to baba, baba sai! i am your daughter tommorrow morning i am leaving to USA, somehow come to me and bless me.
i used have colleagues in my work place who never believes in god, leave sai ma. that day she made a call to me , saying she would like to me .( she was never on good terms with me). so i was surprised and thought , one more trouble in waiting. but somehow said yes to her.

she came to our house and gave a greeting card to my husband and gift pack saying this is only for you and went off.

when i opend the pack, i found beautiful sai baba marble idol, smiling at me. tears of joy rolled from my eyes. baba's idol has so much life in it, i felt that my baba itself came to me.even my husband was dumb-struck.

with baba's blessings i am now four months pregnant.

from that day i have developed so much belief on sai ma, that whatever happen i never feel down. i can feel our sai baba, around me, in me.

so swethaji, baba is with you. he will bless you with babay soon.

kavithaji, your posts on sai ma are wonderful, baba bless you with his divine presence.

Dear all Sairam
We are all lucky to be in this online mandir. It is baba's will and blessings. We should be ever grateful to the lord sai for bringing us all together. We are Sai Bandhus. And we have to pray for the well being of Raviji, Jyotiji, Subasriniji, Kavitaji, Deepakji, tanaji and all other members. They are pillars of faith and help us in our wavering times. Their experiences are divine and strengh for us. BABA Is WITH US.
Lets all pray for Rajivji who is suffering from intestinal problems which has had series of operations and still need some. Baba seems to be working out the past karmas of Rajivji. Lets pray to lord baba to cure Rajivji.
Dear Sai Bandhus, this thursday lets pray for this Mandir, its members and world peace.

congratulations for giving us this happy news ....i am sure sai will carry u safely towards parenthood ....actually frankly speaking i have got various ocassions in which i have had a felling if i was pregnant ...but something crops up and i get my periods the next day and i lose all my faith ....having read kavitha ji's post on her miscarriage i felt one thing there must be a reason for everything maybe sai wants me to settle down first and then think for something that i know shall be my repsnsibilty for my whole life ...i shall be the most happiest person if i were pregnant but there have been times when i know i could not have dealt with if sai had given us a baby ...

so i thank sai but partially i feel the pain when people start to ask ....for the society  that we live in after getting married the first thing that eyes are upon is when the girl concieves so lets see when sai feels i am to be a mother ....i know u will understand what my feelings are at the moment ...but for sure i know sai will hear my  prayers  when he feels i am fit to be a mother he shall shower his gracious hand  coz he is the one who has guided me so far .....

May sai be with u always

Let me now tell you all my association with other gds also ...a topic which i wanted to post long back but quite did not gather my courage t do it ....

My mother was a school teacher ....i was born after three years of my parents marriage ...my mother has had an abortion two years prior to my birth ........ she is a god fearing lady and my father is not ....i have heard this story from my grandmom that my birth was a much pedicted one ....it is a practise that my grandparents have been following for many years ..... they  go for ayyappa poojai to a friends house in chennai before that  family leaves for sabrimala in january ...and during the pooja ayyapan swami graces the eldest gents of the fmaily and one of them gets swami on his body...in one such incidence it seems swami called my grandmother and told her that her daughter in law ie my mother  was pregnant and she is having a girl child in her womb ...they asked them to celebrate the occasion and told her that the child is blessed ....

In due course the swami attained normaity ...but the main thing was my gradma was not there on the day of the pooja only my grandpa had gone there swami made it a must that my grandma come and told her this....  he told others please dont ask me to leave i have to tell sita a very important news.... sita is my grandma's name  ...and the biggest thing in this is that my father  though he is a non god fearing person he has a very fond liking towards lord ayyappa ....and his love towards ayyapa grew even much more and more ...My birth  was very grandly celebrated as i was the first daughter after five generations of boys in my grandfathers side .....later even i started getting a liking towards lord ayyapa and his stories with me later .....

Would love to tell u other stories also
