Right from my childhood when I was 2 year old onwards I used to show lot of interest in going to temples taking darshan making pranams to sadhus / poojaris , watching the paintings in the Goudiya matt, singing bhajans along with mother and others, it seems. But,the only thing I remember is I and my younger sister would always be with my mother and I saw my mother spending  most of the time in either worshipping the God or extending her services to the needy.

The first time when I saw Baba to the best of my knowledge is when I was 5-6 year old (in 1968-69). We were staying in my maternal grand parents’ house due to my father’s posting in a remote forest area (which was not suited to shift the family). I remember very well to have seen many magazines read by my maternal grandfather with a lot of shraddha and an old man’s photo with a beard on the cover pages. The house  was in  Arundelpet, Guntur.  My mother used to visit Sai Baba’s temple which was in a 5 minute walk distance from there.

What has really  attracted me there a lot was, the red roses – which were considered very costly and dear to us those days. Second thing was the clean and white marble platform with intricate carvings around Baba’s Photo.  There was no Garbhalayam like in other temples where devotees are not allowed and only the Pujari would enter and perform Puja and give us out prasad / aarti / kumkum / vibhuti whatsoever. But, here it was only one hall and in the center a square shaped  marble platform with  intricate carvings and in the middle spreaded a bright  mukhmal cloth and on that placed a big photo of Sai baba with a smiling face. Every body was going in and touching the feet and offer whatever they can. The big rose garland was another attraction for me there.

Contd..

Above all, the 25 paise coins (that was a very high denomination those days) pressed in between the marble carvings was of lot of interest to me. I used to wonder how people were able to donate such a big money while we were hardly able to offer 2 or 3 paise.  Infact whenever I was taken to that temple I  would go around count the number of coins and feel happy.  I do not remember whether I had tried to pull out one of them but definitely in vain.  I liked that old man. I used to think why this old man should not solve our problems?  Always I waited for some one to go to that  temple of old man and roses so that I can accompany them.  One more thing that got registered in my mind strongly was my father never liked my mother visiting Baba’s temples. Perhaps this made my mother inform my inlaws before my marriage itself  that I am a Shirdi Sai Devotee to avoid any differences in future.

Dear Sai Devotees, Sai Ram !

Even if we forget OR don't have time for Baba, he always has us in his mind and takes care by all means. Sai Baba often said that-let His man (Devotee) be at any distance, a thousand koss away from Him, he will be drawn to Shirdi like a sparrow, with a thread tied to its feet. We are all HIS blessed sparrows.

As I grew, I lost touch with that temple and would have hardly made any visit to this temple. Moreover, my father was transferred to several other districts in Andhra Pradesh. In 1974,  he was posted to Yelamanchili  near Visakhapatnam. Here,we had the grace of Baba’s darshan for a long period of 2 years and that too almost daily. The temple was on the way to my school and I was 10-11 year old.  I remember every bit of those days. There used to be 2-3 sadhus staying in the temple. They would come for Bhiksha daily in all our streets and in return they used to give us small packets of kumkum or udi. It is as fresh as anything in my mind. All we children in the street would stand in front of our respective doorsteps to offer the bhiksha – mostly raw rice holding in our little hands. Soon after getting the kumkum / udi we would rush in and preserve them.

Om Sri Sai Ram!

One of those sadhus resembled Baba in appearance. Mostly he used to come for Bhiksha and was liked by all of us - the children of the town. We used tease that Baba, start some conversation and pull his legs, make some childish comments. He used to be very playful with us. We named him Saikumkum. Even a small boy of our neighbours aged 3 year old would also come out running holding 10 –12 grains of rice shouting ‘thai kunka…’ ‘thai kunka…’ . The other two were not liked that much – I don’t know the reason. Probably this baba was friendly with us and mostly he used to give pink color kumkum, which was a great attraction. On exam days all of us would wear this kumkum to reap the best results.

It was a sentiment that if “Saikumkum” comes before leaving for exam, we were sure to do well. We used to show faces to him the following day if he didn’t turn up on the exam day since we would have not done well in the exam.  Mother too used to visit this temple occasionally. One day my younger sister saw Saikumkum smoking and informed me. From that day we branded him a ‘bad man’ and did not show interest to offer him Bhiksha.

Prior to this, one interest thing, now I can co-relate with what I read about Baba has happened in 1972 when we were in a small town. There used to be a math (The famous Veera Brahmendra Swamy) at the end of our street in a ‘X- road’. One fakir of age 25 yrs used to stay there; wearing totally torn clothes and murmuring –either in a low tone or sometimes shouting at the pitch of voice. No body knew when he would have food and what he would be doing all the day and none bothered if he was not seen. He spoke in hindi / urdu which none would understand. But all the children used to throw stones on him calling him “Kyare Bachcha” and run away. We were told that he might beat or bite and that we should be careful.

So, the moment we see him at a distance we (me and my younger sister) would take a different route to school.  But during our stay of 2 years in that town, we never heard of “Kyare Bachcha” beating or biting anybody. But my parents used tell us that only people of very high spiritual level will be like that and we should not be afraid but just take God’s name - nothing would happen. Similarly, many a time we happened to meet him on the way and chanted God’s (Balaji) name and we were never even commented by him. He would just take a glance and murmur something to himself and push off.  This was my second phase.

(They were not educationally as high as we are qualified. But today, I can never give such an advice to my daughter Sai – I would rather frighten her more or accompany her or shift to another house. This is what today’s education or the advanced living condition has gifted. All our parents belonged to the old school of thought and lived a fear free life. This is what I believe. Sorry for the deviation).

My parents were very pious and kind hearted. Some or the other Poojas they used to perform always. My mother would always be on 2-3 vows at a time. We 4 together would go to all the temples regularly. So we, the children too developed that tradition. We always worshipped our family deity Lord Venkateswara. One small incident I would like to mention here. There was an ever worst and biggest cyclone in Nov’77 in India, A.P. (Krishna and Guntur Districts were the worst hit) causing the severest damage to life and property. Our village and farms were also effected to a greater extent. If I remember, it was on 19,20 and 21st of Nov. On 20 th night there was Radio news that the damage expected may become double since there may be a likelihood further intensifying of the cyclone. I (was 13 year old then) wept a lot a in front of Lord Venkateswara and requested that the damage should stop with that day and no more bad news should be heard. Miraculously, from that day on wards, every thing became better. But I do not how we totally forgot Baba.

The main reason could be that we were in interior villages and townships of Andhra where there were no Baba temples – those days and even if there were, mother wouldn’t have attempted to go since father might object. Later, we got busy with going from place to place due to my father - being very principled was hardly liked in his dept., and was shunted from place to place every academic year (sometimes twice a year).

There are no boys in our house and I being the eldest, was busy doing all the market job and other works outside the house while my sister would help mother in domestic work. This outside duty made me very playful and aggressive in behaviour.  So where was the time to think of Baba. It was HIS (Baba) botheration and duty to remember me. Why he would leave ?  Have we not read in Satcharitra ? How HE struggled to set right idiots like me ? So HE is still trying his level best.

In 1983 summer, I accompanied my mother from Hyderabad to Nizamabad for a weekend where my sister was working. We got in to the ladies coach of Manmad express at Sec’bad station and found one young lady with her two sons sitting opposite to us. On enquiry, we came to know that she was going to Shirdi. Throughout our journey for nearly 4 hours she narrated, with wet eyes, to us a lot of leelas of Baba and also her own experiences. My mother has actively participated in the conversation taking references of my grandfather. I was very much moved by her experiences. Especially the one which I still remember is this:

(Though I have mentioned about this already in the forum, I apologise, I repeat since this is a mile stone in MY BABA LIFE). She and her husband are railway employees. One day she was in the office while he was in the station - in the very same Sec’bad. He was boarding a train and it moved suddenly and he fell down partly on the track and partly between the track and the platform. Since she was working very much nearby, she rushed to the spot and he was taken to the Railway hospital which is in a couple of kms distance. The chance of survival would have been a big zero had it been in any other case. Anyone can guess what happens when one falls under a moving train.

Baba devotees experience a different thing altogether. He survived but with major fractures and injuries and was bedridden for long and was gradually recovering. After coming to consciousness her husband told her that he has seen Baba hugging him tight before he became unconscious at the time of accident. Since then the lady whom we met started visting Shiridi once a year along with the kids that Baba had saved her Husband – the head of her family. This trip has made a strong imprint in my mind and heart about Baba. It was ‘DURING THIS PERIOD’ I started to MEMORIZE all the olden days – right from the “TEMPLE OF OLD MAN AND ROSES”.

During the same time I had the opportunity of going to Shirdi – infact a sudden wind fall of luck  - along with one old couple who were closely associated with this temple. Infact, my trip was fixed in the eleventh hour since my parents were against sending me with an unknown family but later they agreed after I requested them a lot for permission and luckily the tickets were also available.

We reached shirdi and soon we got our room also without much difficulty. It was January,1986. We bathed and immediately rushed for lunch since it was getting 2 pm. Resting for a while, (since the couple whom I accompanied were old), we went to Samadhi Mandir,  Dwarakamai, offered incense sticks to Dhuni and collected lots of Udi (that time the Udi was collected by devotees themselves from Dhuni).  From there we did Shopping and then went to Lendi.

We visited Samadhis of Abdul baba and others including ShyamaKarna. Worshipped Nanda deepam and reached back Samadhi Mandir for Dhoop Aarti. I was standing besides a teenaged girl who was singing all the Aartis with full devotion and involvement. She looked very beautiful. I felt bad that I did not know any bhajans or Aartis. However, I convinced my self that I did not know Marathi and need not learn since wrong pronunciation may cause problems. I was looking at that girl for a long instead of looking at Baba.
I liked the most the Aarti“Ruso mama priyambika majavari....” though I didn't know the meaning then. But I, now, meaningfully sing that Aarti visualizing me and Baba.  Later, we again went around- to chavadi, Lakshmibai’s house (took darshan of the NINE coins gifted by Baba) and Marthandji’s (Shri Mahalsapatiji’s Son) house. Everything was hurry burry. Too many places to visit and time available was short.

The most luckiest part of that evening was we had the darshan of Masterji – Shri Ekkirala Bhardwaja swamy (he was meditating in Dwarakamai in front of Dhuni – the exact spot where Baba used to sit) and Shri Sivanesan Swamyji . But the saddest part of this was I realized this fact only after few years of my return from Shirdi and recognized them when I saw their photos in some books. Infact it was Sivanesan Swamiji who had shown us the way to the house of Lakshmibaiji. I did not even prostrate to them. It is like realizing the God after HE disappears. I never met them again and both of them have joined Baba  now.  But I feel contented that I was in the vicinity of their divine AURAS atleast for a short while.

The next day we attended Kakad aarti, In the shrine, after Darshan, as devotees keep moving out, the Pujaris take the flower garlands from Baba, throw them on the crowds and whoever gets hold of them take them home. This appeared something considered lucky. The people in the crowd were ready to catch them right. I prayed to Sai that I too should get one and within a second one white lily garland was thrown on me without me putting any effort to catch it. I brought it to the room.

We came to the room. But I was not feeling satisfied. I told the old couple that I will be back by lunch time and I went to the Mandir. It was totally empty. I sat just in front of Baba and started looking at him for long till it started getting crowded for Madhyana Aarti. Now I was reminded of the lily garland that I got in the morning. ButI thought could it be a mere coincidence. So this time I prayed Sai that I should get “karabbanti” flower (small red Bhakkal flowers – Since that was not on Sai that time) garland the way the lily garland was thrown on me. Just within two minutes, some body offered a karabbanti garland and the same was put on Baba and immediately  thrown right on me. What a wonderful and instantaneous reply Baba has for me.

“OM SAMARTHA SADGURU SATCHITANANDA SRI SAINATH MAHARAJ KI JAI!
 

That night we attended  the Kirtan and the Shejaarti.  But, I could not control my sleep during shejaarti and came back to room in between and dozed off. After sometime, I woke up and went to meet the old couple; but the Aarti was not yet over and I was happy to attend the balance part of the aarti. It is still a mystery for me as to how could it happen? I walked all the way from Mandir to the room in the 2nd floor, slept off, woke up after I felt a bit OK, then got up, locked the room and walked back; still the Aarti was continuing – this looked like another MIRACLE.

Many such experiences I had proving Baba was with me throughout the trip. We went to take Godavari matha’s darshan and learnt that she just then left for rest. However, in the evening we participated in the Vishnu sahasranama pooja and kolattam by the gopis in the Ashram. The only bad experience I had was with the old lady who pestered me to do this work and that work (eg. the used clothes should be washed in Shirdi itself though I carried sufficient number of dresses, etc). My thinking was to spend as much time as possible in the Mandir. I would rush to Mandir leaving them in the room and without giving them company. She was sour on me but my priority was different. Om Sai Ram!  Later she never spoke to me. But I sincerely feel indebted to them that they were instrumental in my first Shirdi Trip.

After coming from Shirdi, I started missing that place and started to long for another darshan along with my mother. I told my mother about what all we have seen in shiridi again and again. Till then she did not visit Shirdi.

Dear Sh. Nandanpr garu, Sai Ram!

I am happy to read that you are also from Hyderabad. Why fear when Baba is here ? All problems will get solved on thier own. Just one thing is we should not meddle with them.

To be more clear, any problem is like a child running high fever and insisting to have an Icecream, immediately. Do we get such a child an icecream ? NO. We either pretend having not listended OR try to divert the child OR just keep quiet leaving the child cry for some time so that it would come to terms. Similarly, more the importance the problems are given more they pester us.

I have read your posts and feel only one thing. Baba will make everything alright. Just you keep quiet. "NUVVU MEDALAKA KOORCHO. NENU KAVALISINADANTA CHESTHANU" - annaru kada Baba. Ika bhayamenduku ?

But, pl ensure that you and your parents are flawless and maintain your 'good' let others choose whatever worst path they want.

After I was posted at Hyderabad, I was oppurtuned to spend the whole Sundays in Baba’s temple mostly.  It was at that time my grandfather gifted to my mother a book authored by Master E. Bharadwaj – a great devotee of Baba - an incarnation of Baba himself named  “ Sai Leelamritham” in telugu.  That was our Satchritra and we did not know about the Satcharita by Shri. Hemadpant. "Sai Leelamritham is in other words is a detailed Satcharitra along with several unimaginable experiences of the sai devotees and also gives some research work by the author.

The Sai Leelamritham authored by Pujya Sri Acharya Ekkirala Bharadwaja – a great devotee of Sai Baba, is also the author of several works on Baba and other great saints such as Shri Akkalkot Maharaj, Tajuddin Baba, Matha Anasuya, …….in various languages.  He had done a lot of research also.

On every Sivarathri day we used to wake up throughout the night and spend in going to /watching on TV -cinemas, or spend in some entertainment. That year, we thought we would read Sai Leelamritham. My sister’s friend Meerabai, her elder sister who is a very loving and affectionate lady and a close friend of my mother – Anasuyabai and I and my mother did the reading in rotation basis so that everybody would get a chance to read out Sai leelas to others on that auspicious day.

My mother was totally responsible rather, Baba has entrusted my mother the task of taking these two sisters to HIS temple. Earlier they were not aware of Baba or his Leelas. Both of them and their old mother (Kannadigas) are very good at heart and though they suffered severe financial problems and many other problems (they lost their two earning brothers – bread winners, within a gap of one year), they would always extended to others happiness and were content. They are very pious; observe all customs and worship Raghavendra, Srikrishna etc.

Meerabai had umpteen experiences in a very short period of time that she has decided to stay serving Baba throughout the life and today she is transformed into “Mata Yashodamma” in the Aashram (Boinapalli – Hyd’bad) attached to the Baba temple (Padmarao nagar). Even though she has attained such a high position spiritually, she is so simple and she tells my mother “I am always grateful to you aunty. You have shown me the right path”.

I many a time felt jealous of her and am little angry with Baba that he has not given me such an opportunity though I craved for it a lot. My mother insisted that I should go in for marriage and bear children when I strongly opposed to the proposals of marriage and she finally won.

Never take life for granted
             Whatever comes your way,
                  Just grasp it in both hands
                       And enjoy it every day.

Sometimes sorrow ,
Comes your way
               Blocking out the light,
                   That's the time to pray and
                       To know you'll win the fight.

Life Is but a journey
Through mountains, hills and vales
We cannot have the sunshine
                If we have no rain and gales.
                     
So enjoy each precious moment,
                        And always give your best
                           Remember to keep faith in  BABA SAI
                            Then you'll be truly Blessed.

MAY BABA SAI BLESS EACH ONE OF US TO LEARN TO LIVE THAT ART OF LIVING..

Dear Swetha Ji, Sai Ram!

You are very true. I am really very much blessed by Sai irrespective of the reason whether I deserved it really. Infact, in my life, I have spent more time in fighting with Baba than in doing pooja etc. to Baba. Despite this, I was blessed with several miracles.

Similarly, my life is filled with facing of several serious problems but, by Baba's grace I have been learning a lot from each and every thing I have been facing. It was all like Baba testing me whether I would stoop down / yield. But like Baba, I too am adamant when it comes to facing problems.

If we keep quiet and mum what any problem would do to us. After all, the life of the problem is much shorter than that of ours. Let the 'problem' also have the pleasure of having done something to us. Anyway, Baba is there for us to reverse the evil effects caused to us by the 'problem' or to make the same effects to our advantage.

Your words are very very enlightening indeed ....i have kept n mentioning this to you and i do it again that i feel very blessed to be guided alongside by blessed people like you .....

As you say i have too spent my time fighting with god asking him to show me only sunshine forgetting the fact that looking at only sunshine will damage our eyes ....now i realise the fact that looking at the darker sky also gives our eyes a lot of pleasure  because it is only then we understand the importance of the sushine that we will see later ....

i consider the stars as a scattered rays of hope to a fresh sunshine again .....i ponder sometimes whether i deserve all this motherly care that Sai nath is showering on me thru his blessings , his miracles and my  faith in me increases day by day when i read posts written by blessed people like you....

my eyes fill with tears and my heart with a contention that despite of every thing Sai feels i am worth it .....reading your posts gives me a fresh ray of hope to fight myself and tell myself that i must grow in devotion and faith....My trust in him has increased so much ... when i look at myself from the day i went to shirdi to now i have had people like you and so many others  in this mandir guide me and my faith towards Sai in a very strong way .....

when i look at myself now while reading your articles i consider me as an infant who is crying for the milk of love and care from our Sai and who wants to grow under the protection of his gracious blessings  and  be blessed by the divinity of his miracles always in my life .......

Please continue to guide me in the same way .....

Swetha ji, Sai Ram!

I donot deserve any of the compliments of your post. But, I wish Baba should make me really better. You are very true that Chennai is an excellent place. I too find Chennai more comfortable and interesting than Hyd'bad - my home town - in many aspects. It is a place of preserverance of Indian culture. The Mantrokta Abhishekams and the Archanas / pooja performed by the Archakas with total involvement are uncomparable. This Saturday, we went to Agastiyar Temple in Pondy Bazar. The Alankaram in Lakshmi Narayana Sannidhi as "Venkateswara Perumal and Alamelu Manga Tayaar" was awesome that being the "Margali" (tamil month Margasira) first day. Mylapore is a pettai of temples only.

Have you been to Shirdi Sai Baba Temple ( A replica of Shridi temple in all respects) near beach in Neelangarai ? It is a very big and spacious temple. Don't miss it in your next visit Swetha ji. I have several experiences with this temple too and i find it a very peaceful place and feel like settling down in one of the corners here.

I always thank Baba for settling me down in Chennai though, neither I had any connection with this City ever before nor we have any people closely related to us here. This itself was another miracle of Baba in My Baba life.

SHOWERS OF MIRACLES

WHY FEAR WHEN I AM HERE


Baba Temple in West Mambalam

It was in 1991 Oct during Dussera, I went to this temple referred by one of my friends when I was facing a very serious problem.  My friend told me that an old lady would be there who used to answer the questions of devotees earlier and has stopped to answer since long and that it is better to seek her blessings and try whether she would answer my problem.

I went there to see a Sai Baba temple in the ground floor – cemented flooring, with a thatched roof in the front for the devotees to sit and pray. There were few devotees doing Bhajan while in an easy chair towards one side was sitting an old lady of above 80 yrs age. I went to her and sought her blessings and explained my problem. She at once told me that there was some problem but everything would be alright within a week. And told me not to worry and leave it to Baba.

She must have prayed for me a lot that my problem was solved as she told me. Meanwhile, I came to know that she had since long stopped answering to questions from devotees and fortunately she answered me. I felt bad having given trouble to such an old lady. I went to apolgise as well as thank her and convey how my problem ended etc. This time the temple was empty and I was directed by someone to the first floor  in the back yard. I found her there and released what all I wanted to.

She said she did as per Baba’s orders and did nothing special. She told me to participate in the daily Aartis and weekly Bhajans over there. I expressed my difficulty that I return from office very late and promised to participate as and when possible.

WHY FEAR WHEN I AM HERE

Sai Amma


She (a widow, no kids) a staunch devotee of Baba has dedicated her life totally to  Baba and was in the process of making this temple a bigger one – at that age of 8 decades and plus. While, the land prices in a hot place like West Mambalam are roaring up, this true devotee of Baba has donated her entire land to construct Baba’s temple, herself staying in a corner of the temple and though she was unable to comfortably manage her own bread and butter.

Few other true devotees of Baba were in support of her and started to pool the collections if somebody offered, so that it can be used for the temple. One of them would come to stay with her during the night since she was too old.  People called her mother, grany etc. I took my mother to this place and to my mother she was ‘Sai Amma’. (I will be referring to her as Sai Amma in my all further posts). There was a lot of change in my life after I started visiting this temple.

But, till 1996, there was not much change in the temple physically. There were not many devotees too. But those few devotees were very true in their services that they celebrated all the festivals and especially, for Sri Rama  Navami there used to be ‘Annadanam’ on a grand scale.

Once, Sai Amma hesitantly asked me “Baba is asking for a bag of Rice for this year’s Annadanam from you. Can U arrange?’. That means though Baba wanted her to ask me, she was not comfortable to ask me since I, as a new comer to the temple, might feel bad. Soon after, I arranged for it, there was a lot of improvement in my husband’s business which was a pleasant surprise for me, though I never expected anything in return.

By 1996, the regular devotees of this temple have collected some good amount and got the pillars and roof constructed. Brick walls were yet to be erected for which the money was already pooled by them.  

My mother too liked this temple a lot and once she suffered some financial problems. She had decided to give a sizeable amount to this temple if her problems ended. Naturally, by Baba's grace, she was out of all her financial problems. We went and told  Sai Amma about the donation my mum wanted to give and expressed that it would be better to construct a marble platform in the center if it was not a problem for them.

Sai Amma said that a North Indian devotee who was also a regular visitor here had expressed to donate for the same purpose since long and that she might give the amount shortly. After saying this, Sai Amma added that she would utilise my mother’s donation for the main door – the ‘Simha Dwaram’.  

My mother happily handed over the amount the same day  itself (I and my sister too added little amounts as our share just to round off mum’s donation figure).

SAI AMMA


In our next visit, we found a very grand  ‘Simha Dwaram’ with lot of carvings, intricate rajasthani designs etc., kept in a corner of the temple. Sai amma was very happy to receive my mother that day and expressed that there was a heavy down pour of donations right from the moment the donation was received from my mother. None of them thought that such huge amounts would be pouring in that too in such a short span of time.

So, they planned for completing the temple in all respects. The stones and some idols were also ordered from Jaipur. Within a couple of years, the shape of the temple has totally changed. The number of devotees had multiplied. Bhajans, Daily Aartis etc. were very devotionally being conducted. Sometimes, they used to hire a choultry for special programmes on Sri Rama Navami and Vijaya Dasami.

MIRACLES OF SHOWERS

SAI AMMA


During this time, once Baba has again ordered for a ceiling fan from me to be fitted in the temple.

The exact words of Baba were "Ask that Kavita to get a ceiling fan for my temple. I want her air to revolve in this temple". As anyone can guess rightly, Baba has automatically made my financial postiiton comfortable that I ordered for a Ceiling fan and arranged for its delivery directly to the temple.

But, My visits were never regular to the temple due to heavy work in the office, my frequent health problems and lot of other disturbances. Even those irregular visits of mine would be during odd hours such as 2.00 pm on a Sunday or Saturday etc.  

But Sai Amma would be very happy whenever I would go to her. She would say in an affectionate tone “make it a habit to come regularly, atleast come once a month”. I would nod my head and would even decide strongly that I should be regular. But, could never put it in action.

One surprising thing is that, whenever, I go to her, she would say “just today / yesterday only I thought of you”. Other devotees too would confirm and say “oh! You are Kavita..!  Paati (grany) was talking about you only just now…”.

SHOWERS OF MIRACLES

SAI AMMA


There is a big Baba photo (frame) in Sai Amma’s room and a small Mandap of 4ft high (very traditional one) in which a big Idol of Baba is seated with all decorations. Many photos of Baba are seen hung in her room. A gas stove on a corner table, one cot and one easy chair and one almirah.

Some would be talking to her; some of them narrating their problems to her; some of them busy doing parayana of Sri Sai SatCharitra or Gurucharitra; some in meditation and some would be catering to the needs of Sai Amma. The picture that I formed about Baba in Dwarka Mai with all his devotees exactly would match with this.

I used to sit in front of the Mandap looking at Baba, pray and return taking Sai Amma’s blessings. To my surprise, without me telling anything to her, she would predict if I suffered from any problems. Similarly, whenever I went to her in a happy mood or only for a darshan, she never asked me whether I had any problem.

While taking leave, Sai Amma would bless us with Udi and sometimes would give Tirtham also.

SAI AMMA


I did understand that Sai Amma loved me a lot as I could guess rightly from her actions and talk. As such her nature it self was loving, caring and being very affectionate to every body. I have never seen in her the usual psychological pattern change that usually takes place in aged people. As I decided, I never asked her for anything (but for on two occasions – one in 1999 and secondly  in 2001) and would not reveal anything about me or my problems unless she asked me in particular.  

I always longed to live like her in my old age. Always happy, in a state of bliss consoling whoever comes to her. In many ways she looked like Baba in her lifestyle. That is why Baba called her on the very Sri Rama Navami day in 2002 (when she was 93 +). But, till the last day, she was never bedridden. She was taken to the hospital for a small complaint and her mortal remains were back the next day –Sri Rama Navami.

Gurupoornima


Gurupoornima celebrations used to be very interesting in the temple. Mostly this used to be organized in a choultry in the same location. In Chennai, it is almost mandatory for all children to learn karnatic music right from tender age. So many kids used to give performances singing bhajans, Classical Kritis and many such programmes used to be conducted.

Of all the items, the most important one for all the devotees is, receiving money from Sai Amma. This she used to do as per the instructions of Baba totally. The devotees used to tie a cloth around her head so that she is blind folded. A Sieve containing coins of various denominations would be placed in the Sieve. Sai Amma would take them out at random and give out as prasad  to all the devotees. Sometimes, we used to get 2 or 3 coins.

I marked on all such coins received by me with a nail polish soon after I return home and keep them in my pooja. Still I have all those coins in my pooa room. For any reason, if I missed the offerings of Sai Amma on the Gurupoornima day, she would give separately for me if I had gone within that week of Gurupoornima.

On One Gurupoornima, lunar eclipse took place (may be it was 2001 ,  think). I couldn’t go to the temple for some reason. The next day, when I went and requested for the prasad of coins, Sai Amma told me that Baba has restrained her from giving away of coins that year due to eclipse. I returned disappointed.

In 2002. on the Rama Navami Day, Sai Amma joined Baba. That was the last Gurupoornima I went to the temple and returned empty handed. Lo! that was the starting point for our financial problems which made the family touch the rock bottom. We are still in the process of recovering  from the losses. This can only be a coincidence OR, I didn’t go to that temple on any other Gurupoornima day later.

Gurupoornima

Even after we shifted to our own house in 1997,  which is very far from this temple, I continued to visit this temple and Sai Amma. In 1998, I was transferred out side Chennai and came back after an year. In between, once or twice I visited Sai Amma.

My questions to her would always be mostly on the matters of spirituality and philosophy. She was always very straight and precise in her answers. She never had to think / ask Baba etc. whatever difficult question / doubt I asked her. I used to doubt whether Baba himself was speaking thru her. I used to seek clarifications about other Babas also

When I was staying out side Chennai due to my official reasons, I was blessed with the association of an excellent Satsang – not Baba devotees but the followers of Vedadiri Maharishi. They all were practicing simplified Kundalini Yoga (SKY) for rectification of physical problems and attaining spiritual benefits. I got attracted to this because, they all are against doing miracles / magics using these yogic energies.

<font size="3"><font color="purple"><center>OM SRI SAI RAM</center></font id="purple"></font id="size3">

The most luckiest part of that evening was we had the darshan of <font color="red">Masterji – Shri Ekkirala Bhardwaja swamy (he was meditating in Dwarakamai in front of Dhuni – the exact spot where Baba used to sit) and Shri Sivanesan Swamyji </font id="red">. But the saddest part of this was I realized this fact only after few years of my return from Shirdi and recognized them when I saw their photos in some books. Infact it was Sivanesan Swamiji who had shown us the way to the house of Lakshmibaiji. I did not even prostrate to them. It is like realizing the God after HE disappears. I never met them again and both of them have joined Baba  now.  But I feel contented that I was in the vicinity of their divine AURAS atleast for a short while.

The next day we attended Kakad aarti, In the shrine, after Darshan, as devotees keep moving out, the Pujaris take the flower garlands from Baba, throw them on the crowds and whoever gets hold of them take them home. This appeared something considered lucky. The people in the crowd were ready to catch them right. I prayed to Sai that I too should get one and within a second one white lily garland was thrown on me without me putting any effort to catch it. I brought it to the room.

We came to the room. But I was not feeling satisfied. I told the old couple that I will be back by lunch time and I went to the Mandir. It was totally empty. I sat just in front of Baba and started looking at him for long till it started getting crowded for Madhyana Aarti. Now I was reminded of the lily garland that I got in the morning. ButI thought could it be a mere coincidence. So this time <font color="red"> I prayed Sai that I should get “karabbanti” flower (small red Bhakkal flowers – Since that was not on Sai that time) garland the way the lily garland was thrown on me. Just within two minutes, some body offered a karabbanti garland and the same was put on Baba and immediately  thrown right on me. What a wonderful and instantaneous reply Baba has for me</font id="red">.

That night we attended  the Kirtan and the Shejaarti.  But, I could not control my sleep during shejaarti and came back to room in between and dozed off. After sometime, I woke up and went to meet the old couple; but the Aarti was not yet over and I was happy to attend the balance part of the aarti. It is still a mystery for me as to how could it happen? I walked all the way from Mandir to the room in the 2nd floor, slept off, woke up after I felt a bit OK, then got up, locked the room and walked back; still the Aarti was continuing – this looked like another MIRACLE.

Dearest Akka I am really thrilled reading this experiences. Baba please show my akka light and happiness. Please baba. I had been to this temple many times. I had been to Sai amma too. My folly, I stopped after some time. How I repent now.
I think we should start a bhakta mandali which should congregate at least once a month and do sai bhajan , annadanam to the poor.The children should be made to participate. Sai Satcharitra Parayam should be done. Hope baba wills it.

Dear kavitaji,

Thank you for responding to my mail 'fate and guru'.whatever you told is true and a fact. As usual my mind again started chanting 'sai sai'.But mind still feels heavy and uncomfortable. If because of my karmic consequences i will suffer only bad things in my life will baba only be a witness?

regards
sumesh

Dear kavitaji,
Thank You for your reply. As i informed you that i started chanting 'Sai Sai' but i cannot fully involve in bakthi while doing that. just simply doing. Life became very mechanical. The pain and sufferings from the past life freezed my mind. I will just chant his name and look at his photo but without any emotion. There are chances that baba didnt like me.But there is no one to point out my mistakes also.His presence that i felt earlier in my life is disappeared now. He came to my life when i was a kid,about 6-7years. That time i just noticed his eyes with curiosity. Maybe after 6 years again he showed his presence through a small photo from my cousin brother. From there on i started finding out informations about him. A village in kerala where most of them do not about shirdi sai, i was able to find out a temple 30km away from our place, and i visit this temple once in a month. But the turmoil in the past few years changed me a lot and got a feeling that sai also dejected me. i cannot see his presence like earlier. mind is almost freezed and life became cynical. This situation became more worst, even if he appeared infront of me one day i will just look and walk away from him. i had read SSC may be 25-30 times sofar in my life. But this bookish knowledge cannot satisfy me.Mind is wandering somewhere else. Everyday leaving to office i will pray him to be the last day in life that much i fed up in this life. Eventhough he came to my life 15-20 years back i feel shame on me that i cannot stablize trust on his feet. 

How can a person know that baba considered him as his devotee? in SSC i come across a person's experience:that baba didnt allow a foreigner to come and meet him and made him sit outside the masjid saying that 'Lord is not allowing me to do so'. Why is it so?

Yours sincerelly
sumesh

OM SRI SAI RAM

Sumesh ji, Sai Ram

Firstly, tell me onething. Did you cry it out totally when U lost Ur dad ? If not, pl do that now sitting infront of your Dad’s photo. That will first make Ur heat lighter.

I can feel from Ur posts that your heart is very heavy and that has originated due to loss of your dear Dad. I think you are yet to be 25 and you are telling life has become mechanical which is not a healthy sign. Read good books. Start adding colour to your life by adapting some hobby.  Mix up with friends. Go to baba’s temple (not all alone) along with other devotee friends.

You – as sumesh - are not going to Sai temple for telling him your sorrows. You are going there to seek happiness from Baba. First, when you go to Baba / when you see Baba, don’t start telling him your problems. This I am telling for U only. Beocz, this beomes like a revision of your past to your ownself from the pain of which you want to come out. Instead, search for that peace and happiness in the presence of Sai. As a start, you speak with Baba the same way you talk to your Dad sharing everything with him. I hope U got what I
mean.

There are NO chances that baba didnt like you ..or for that matter anyone…
He is the incarnation of Love. The word ‘dislike’ is not in his Dictionary.  There is no need for any one to point out your mistakes since there are no mistakes. The only thing is you should come out of your present thinking. Baba’s presence NEVER disappears. You are not feeling his presence THAT’S ALL. You went into your shell and you need to open up. First go back to those days when you were a kid,about 6-7years. Now too,notice his eyes with curiosity.
The turmoil in the past few years has indeed NOT changed you in the least; you are not attempting to come out of it and thus got a feeling that Sai also dejected you.
 
Sai will never deject you - The oceans / seas may send the rivers back; the Sun may rise in the west and your own mother may disown you. Sai will NEVER deject any one.

“How can a person know that baba considered him as his devotee? in SSC i come across a person's experience:that baba didnt allow a foreigner to come and meet him and made him sit outside the masjid saying that 'Lord is not allowing me to do so'. Why is it so”?  This was your doubt no.

When do we go to temple? When it is open OR whenever we want the temple to be open We go to temples and sometimes may wait for hours to get a glimpse of darshan of the God and believe heart and soul that that glimpse alone does wonders for us. If that is the case, how can one go and demand in an odd hour that the temple should be opened since he/she has no other time ?
Becoz, that foreigner wanted Baba to hurry thru his routine and make time for him, in response to his uncomparable ego (which is due to his official / financial position) he was denied of entry into Dwarakamai. What a selfishness? He actually came to baba for want of blessings that he gets children? Finally, he the foreigner was the looser. Causative is his ego, high headedness that too infront of the God.

Pl bid a good bye to Sorrows and invite a hearty welcome to Sai.

One of my dearest brothers has given me a golden quote.

Don’t tell sai how big your problem is
Tell the problem how big your sai is.

Pl make a small attempt from your side

If You walk one step towards Sai , Sai takes 10 steps towards you
Baba bless U always and be with you Sumesh ji.

Dear Kavita Akka Sairam
It is nice of you to rake up the old posting as a reminder. Of course thoughts and desires have great impact on one's life. This itself is a beautiful example. It is also said that a man gets rebirth / heaven / etc on what he desires or thinks ardently when he dies. Similarly, every thought positive or negative comes back as result. Therefore we should think all positive thoughts and also think more about god.
As far as the goals are concerned, I wished for the following:
1. SSC parayan. Expounding the chapters. Making children relate the SSC to their lives
2. Annadanam, where each can contribute their might.

I came in association with a Reiki Master through one of my colleagues and approached him for cure of certain chronic health problems of mine. Having developed a liking, I have joined the courses that he had offered and learnt Reiki upto second degree. Those were the years of tests and tribulations.

But, many a time I did feel left out and failed to feel the presence of Baba unlike my earlier days. I felt left alone; Baba perhaps wanted me to get rid of my (bad) karma in a shorter period by undergoing several problems simultaneously.

Dear Kavita Akka Sairam

But, every moment Baba was not with me unlike my earlier days. I was left alone; Baba perhaps wanted me to get rid of my karma by undergoing all sorts of problems simultaneously.

Dear Akka I beg to differ : It is a fact that baba is ever with us, only we low mortals concentrate more on the pain and torture than on him. We never run to him as Shama used to when the scorpion stung him; We never place the entire trust in him as Shama did.
Sorry for this attempt of mine.  I know it has been a just a word of speech as used above by you.

Thammudu, You are hundred percent correct.

I thank you for correcting me in this aspect. Indeed, it was an emotional word / sentence in which I had written my notes those days. Really thanks a lot thammudu for bringing out this unparadanable mistake of mine and enabling me to rectify the same which I really missed to notice.

I shall change my above statement by all means and with due apologies to my dearest Baba as below:

Can you give the address and location of the SAI temple at WEST MAMBALAM.

Thanks

JAI SAI RAM

Dear Sai Family Members,

OM SAIRAM

Though I had asked the above question to KAVITA DIDI, on the 5th Jan 2007 and she promptly replied on the 06th JAN 2007, Baba's call for me for that temple was only on 07th AUG 2008 ( nearly after 19 months) Yes this week THURSDAY i had been to the temple at WEST MAMBALAM, Chennai.

We reached at 4 pm there persuming the BABA temples would either be open fully on THURSDAY or will open by 4pm. But we came to understand that temple opens for evening darshan at 4.30pm and the aarthi is at 6.30pm, we just shopped around came back at 5pm and felt great to be in the temple, BABA was looking gorgeous fully decked up ready for aarthi.

Since we had to go somewhere by 7pm we could not stay there much longer, but we really missed the aarthi and prasad, but still we left, hoping to go to MYLAPORE for night aarthi at 11.30 midnight. we were on our way to annanagar, since it was office time, there was a traffic jam and hence our driver turned through some midways to avoid getting stranded in the traffic.

What a surprise, just while passing besides the famous VADAPALNI temple (LORD KARTHIKEYA) we heard BABA's bhajans, located the temple by enquiring, we hoped it  be a house where they were organising BHAJANS being THURSDAY.

To our astonishment that was a BABA's temple unknown to us, BABA had brought us on his own, the temple was too small just 10 X 8 ft and hence they organise in such away that everyone gets a chance for aarthi instead of the whole crwod at 6pm aarthi which would really be a disturbance to the traffic/ public. the aarthi is placed in front of the PADUKA, devotees bring milk and devotees join the queue themselves do abhishek to the PADUKA with the help of the PANDIT next to it, the queue moves forward and we wave aarthi to BABA ourselves and pray to BABA one foot away from the MOORTHY, then come around BABA and there you are given milk, prasad & UDi. The devotees queue starts from 4pm and goes own upto 10pm, we were told by the PANDITS there. everyone are given achance and there by the crowd is also managed.

BABA knew that we were missing the PRASAD and AARTHI and how the oppurtunity was given to do it ourselves. if we would have been in WEST MAMBALAM temple we would have just witneseed the aarthi, but BABA allowed us to perform aarthi on our own, not only aarthi but also abhishek in this temple on ou way, Thanks BABA for listening to us always.

THANKS BABA for evrything you have given us and being with us always.

THANKS & RGDS
KEERTHI

<font color="purple">Baba Temple in West Mambalam</font id="purple">

<font color="maroon">It was in 1991 Oct during Dussera, I went to this temple referred by one of my friends when I was facing a very serious problem.  My friend told me that an old lady would be there who used to answer the questions of devotees earlier and has stopped to answer since long and that it is better to seek her blessings and try whether she would answer my problem.

I went there to see a Sai Baba temple in the ground floor – cemented flooring, with a thatched roof in the front for the devotees to sit and pray. There were few devotees doing Bhajan while in an easy chair towards one side was sitting an old lady of above 80 yrs age. I went to her and sought her blessings and explained my problem. She at once told me that there was some problem but everything would be alright within a week. And told me not to worry and leave it to Baba.

She must have prayed for me a lot that my problem was solved as she told me. Meanwhile, I came to know that she had since long stopped answering to questions from devotees and fortunately she answered me. I felt bad having given trouble to such an old lady. I went to apolgise as well as thank her and convey how my problem ended etc. This time the temple was empty and I was directed by someone to the first floor  in the back yard. I found her there and released what all I wanted to.

She said she did as per Baba’s orders and did nothing special. She told me to participate in the daily Aartis and weekly Bhajans over there. I expressed my difficulty that I return from office very late and promised to participate as and when possible.

OM SAI RAM Kavita ji,

After reading this post I couldn't stop myself writing my experience at West Mambalam Shirdi Sai Baba temple.

Related to my work I was sent on deputation to Chennai for couple of months,this was in Oct 2003.
But BABA showered his grace on me & called me to this temple only in Jan-Feb 2004. As I am not a native of Chennai, it was bit uncomfortable for me to stay at women's hostel , I kept on changing hostels in Chennai during y stay from Oct 2003 to March 2004.
One of the hostel's last I stayed was in West Mambalam near to Shirdi Sai Baba temple, I didn't knew that I was coming very close to BABA at that time. I happened to ask hostel aaya if she is aware of any shirdi sai baba temple around. She told there is one in next street. My joy knew no bounds & that weekend I planned to attend aarthi .
I was there around 12:00 PM assuming aarati would start on time, but the temple doors were closed. I don't remember if some one suggested or I myself happened to climb the stairs , found a room a with lot of diety photos, i am unable to recollect all, but I saw the whole room was filled up with photos..etc...There I saw poojari, I dont recollect his name, he told about the lady story that was narrated by Kavitha ji here.
I regularly attended aarathi's at night after work daily ,  I felt the persence of BABA in many ways there though they are small experiences.
One I would like to share, on ugadi festival i got up in morning , my intution told me that one of my neighbours next ot our house in hyderabad is dead. I never got any thought in particular about my neighbours. I took it light that it just occured to me that way. But when I went home I heard from my mother that he is really dead.

Another one experience, as I was away from home I felt bit home sick , I was not having cell or mobile at that time, if I had to call home, I had to go out & make a call, in hostel there are only incoming calls, I was feeling so bad one day missing my mother a lot, I happened to see her face flashing for a second in real not dream, I wished at my heart if my mother would call me, the next moment I was told I got a call from my parents.

BABA is there always, we forget his presence. I do remember , i had been to mylapore temple too.

I like this West Mambalam temple a lot , wish BABA would call me again there in Oct next month mid when I am in Chennai for a day trip.
