OM SRI SAI RAM
Continuation.....
After we had darshan etc, at Tiruthani temple, we came down the hills by an auto and reached the Bus stand to learn we had no bus till 8.15 p.m. We were only two ladies - me and my 15 year old daughter. I was afraid that we might reach chennai at 11.00 p.m. and then to home only around 11.30 p.m. Then I gave a ring to my hub in Chennai from an STD shop that we would be reaching Chennai late and that he should pick us up from bus stand in Chennai.
On enquiring in one shop over there, they said we can go to by-pass road since chances getting into buses that go from Tirupati to Chennai go in that route. But we can only go as a standing passengers since Tirupati buses are always over crowded.
Not knowing what to do, I prayed to Sai "Baba! It may not be for me. But, I am having my daughter with me and it is not safe for me to travel late night this way. Please show me some way that we reach home Safe". Immediately, I saw one picture of Baba in one of the shops over there.Then I felt relieved that Baba would definitely arrange something for us.
Then, One bus was about to leave the bus stand and I asked one of the passengers where it was going to. They said "Tiruvallur" which is on the way to Chennai. Without a second thought, I boarded that bus along with my daughter telling her we might get some bus from 'Tiruvallur' since many buses to Chennai from other places also pass thru 'Tiruvallur'.
We got a comfortable seat also. The conductor guided us that we should get down out side the bus stand it self in 'Tiruvallur' to get a bus to Chennai. There was a couple sitting in our back seat.
After we covered half the distance from 'Tirutani' to 'Tiruvallur', one bus (which was almost empty) over took our bus and the lady sitting behind us told us that it was a bus from Tirupati to Chennai. ( It was written in Tamil and we can not read Tamil).
Within 2-3 minutes, one village came and our bus was slowing down to stop while, the lady behind us hurried us up to get down and catch the Tirupati to Chennai bus which too stopped there and was about to start. Without a second thought we rushed down and ran and got into the bus. Everything went on within 10 to 15 seconds - no one would believe. (We went by her words without even asking any question. Had we asked her 'why' 'what' etc., we wud have missed that bus). The bus was totally empty and we were comfortably seated.
We didn't have time to even thank her. But, we prayed a lot to Baba to bless her by all means for the kind gesture. Infact, she just overheard me enquiring the conductor about buses to Chennai from 'Tiruvallur' and so alerted us to get into Chennai bus.
By the time we reached home in Chennai, it was 9.45 p.m. as against the original time of 11.30 p.m. and my hub was surprised to hear about this which was indeed a miracle of Baba.
Thus, right from the beginning, our Tirutani trip was full of miracles and also ended with a great miracle.
