Omsairam Omsairam Omsairam
I dont know where to start, but I had promised Baba that if everything went well, I would definitely share my experience with all the devotees.
I got married in Oct 2007 and came to the US in Dec 2007. I was working in India before getting married and wished to do the same after coming here. I filed for H1-B and by Sai's grace, got through the lottery system. However, I could not get a job due to economic recession and some problems with the consultant through whom I filed for my Visa.
Meanwhile, I had started with my MS in CS in a reputed University. I was still actively looking for jobs, specially this summer (internship).
I got a few interview calls, but did not clear any of those. I was feeling frustrated and depressed. I had started loosing my confidence. In between my semester, I had a Spring Break for a week. I had given 1 interview just before that and I prayed Sai that if I would get that job, I would do 1 week Sai Charitra parayana starting the Thursday in the vacation. However, just before starting the Parayana, on Wednesday, I got a call from that company that I had been rejected. I was very heartbroken, I cried a lot in front of Baba, and asked him for how long I would suffer in this way. It had been ore than 2 yrs for my marriage and I was still jobless. It was @ last week of March, and the rates of interview calls had declines as many companies had already filled their internship positions. However, I decided to go ahead with my plan for Parayana. And to my greatest surprise, I got 2-3 interview calls from well reputed companies within last 2 days of Parayana. I got 1 call on Friday (just after the Parayana) and to my astonishment, the interview was very casual and they asked me to come down for an interview following Tuesday and I got the job.
I can thank Baba enough for all his blessings. Also, I was looking for 3 month summer internship , but by Baba's grace, I got an Co-op offer for a duration of 6 months :) .
Baba is always listening to us. We just need Shraddha and Saburi and He will fulfill all our dreams...
Thank you Baba for this beautiful life. Please bless all your Devotees and give them the strength and endurance to follow your path.
Omsairam ...!
साई राम
सभी साई अनुयाईओ को मेरा नमस्कार.मैं आज मेरा और मेरी पत्नी का एक सुखद अनुभव और कार्य आप सभी के साथ बाँटना चाहता हूँ .
विषय : श्री साईं सत्चरित का एक दिवसीय पाठ.
उदेश्य : बाबा के अनमोल वचनों और विचारो को घर घर तक पहुचाना जिससे सच्चे अर्थो मे सभी बाबा के द्वारा दी गई
शिक्षाओ का आपने जीवनकाल मे अनुसरण कर सके.
आजसे चार साल पहले बाबा की बहुत बड़ी अनुकम्पा मेरे और मेरी पत्नी पर हुई .उनकी प्रेणना और दया से और सभी के सहयोग से मेने
बाबा का एक छोटा सा मंदिर का निर्माण करवाया . आज मंदिर मे बाबा के चारों पहर की आरती एवंग सभी कार्यक्रम सहज रीती-रिवाज से
मनाया जाता है . 14th April बाबा का स्थापना दिवस बड़े ही हर्षोउल्लास से मनाया जाता है .
इस साल 14th April के कुछ दिन पहले मेरी पत्नी के अच्चानक ये विचार आया की क्यों न इस दिन श्री रामायण पाठ की तरह श्री साईं
सत्चरित का भी एक दिवसीय पाठ उसी तरह से रखा जाये. विचार सम्पूर्ण रूप से नया था और पहली बार क्रियानिवित होने जा हा था
इसलिए वो बहुत ही चिंतित और आशंकित थी . श्री साईं सत्चरित का साप्ताहिक पाठ विदित काफी बरसो से चला आ रहा है . क्या एक
दिवसीय पाठ करना उचित भी होगा या नहीं.? क्या कोई भूल चुक तो नहीं हो जाएगी ? ऐसे विचारो से मेरी पत्नी बुरी तरह से ससंकित थी .
ये विचार जब बाबा ने ही मन मे उदित किये है तो इसका शुभारम्भ और समापन भी श्री साईनाथ ही करेगे, ऐसा विचार कर पत्नी ने सुबह
8 बजे से 14th April स्थापना दिवस के दिन श्री साईं सत्चरित का पाठ मंदिर मे प्रारंभ कर दिया . जैसे श्री रामायण का पाठ की विधि
और विधान है उसी समरूप इस पाठ की भी विधि और विधान है. बाबा के सम्मुख फल-फूल नेवेद इत्यादि रखकर मुख्य पीडी पर एक
भक्त श्री साईं सत्चरित का पाठ कर्ता रहता है और समान्तर अन्य भक्तजन भी श्री साईं सत्चरित पाठ कर सकते है .मुख्य पीडी पर थोड़े
थोड़े अंतराल पे भक्त बदलते जाते है और इस तरह सम्पूर्ण श्री साईं सत्चरित का पाठ समाप्त हो जाता है.
शुरुआत मे मेरी पत्नी पढ़ती रही और साथ मे मंदिर के पंडितजी का भी बहुत बड़ा योगदान रहा . धीरे-धीरे भक्तजन आते गए .पहले उन्हें
बड़ा ही आजीब सा महसूस हुआ पर जब इसको करने का उदेश और इसके महत्त्व का आभास हुआ तो फिर ताता सा ही लग गया पाठ
पढने का संध्या आरती के कुछ समय पूर्व ही सम्पूर्ण पाठ का समापन हुआ और फल-फूल,नेवेद से बाबा की आरती हुई . मेरी पत्नी को सदा
ऐसा ही महसूस होता रहा की बाबा स्वयम शुरू से अंत तक वहा पर विराजमान होकर कार्य का समापन करवा रहे है .
आज उसके बाद से मंदिर मे और भक्तो ने आपने -अपने घरो मे श्री साईं सत्चरित का एक दिवसीय पाठ करना शुरू कर दिया है. मुझे और
मेरी पत्नी को एक बार फिर बाबा ने इस कार्य के लिए काबिल समझा इसके लिए हमलोग सदा ही बाबा के ऋणी है और यही बाबा से प्राथना
करते है की सदा ही बाबा अपनी अनुकम्पा हमपे और सभी पे बनाये रखे
सम्पूर्ण कार्य के कर्ता श्री साईनाथ महाराजजी है .हमलोग तो केवल एक माध्यम मात्र है जो करम कर रहे है.
बाबा का हमलोग कोटि-कोटि धन्यबाद करते है और प्राथन करते है की सदा ही अपने चरणों मे शरण देना .
श्री साईनाथ महाराज की जय
"जाहे विधि राखे साईं ,ताई विधि रहिये "
;D Baba Rings The Wedding Bells ;D
In the year 1991, I was trying for a good marriage alliance for my daughter but could not succeed in the process. It was on 01-01-92 New Year's day morning that I prayed to Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi and asked for a message regarding the marriage of my daughter. I closed my eyes and opened a page in the Sai Sat Charitra written by Sri Nagesh Vasudev Gunaji. To my surprise it was page 241 chapter 47 and the message was "I told him not to worry about this, as the bridegroom himself would come seeking her".
I was very happy as the message indicated the marriage of my daughter would take place in the year 1992. In the month of January 1992 a friend of mine took the necessary details of my daughter in the pursuit of finding a good groom. On 17-02-1992 I received a phone call from a person from Visakhapatnam interested in my daughter's details. I was in a dilemma and prayed to Baba. I had my prayer answered immediately by Baba to go ahead with the proposal.
The groom and their parents liked my daughter and on 20-02-1992, the marriage of my daughter was fixed. The marriage was fixed on 10-05-1992 at 06.58 a.m. in Hyderabad. I prayed to Baba to help me in the marriage activities and for the success of the marriage on 22-03-1992. When I was taking a nap in the afternoon, Sri Sai Baba appeared in my dream in the form of my Father (Late Sri R.V.Rao) and promised me that he will help me in my daughter's marriage and will also attend the marriage.
Chapter 40, page 212 in Sai Satcharitra, Baba has said "I always think about those who remember me, I require no conveyance, i.e carriage, Tonga, (Horse drawn Cart) or an Aero plane. I run and manifest myself to him, who lovingly calls on me". Baba has also said in Sai Satcharita page 151 chapter 28 "I have no form nor any extension - I live Everywhere" Baba has further told in chapter 40 page 213 "See, to keep my words I would even sacrifice my life, I would never be untrue to my words". I totally surrendered to Him and started with the marriage arrangements.
In the month of March 1992 wedding cards were printed out and as per the directions of Baba I had the first card posted to the Ganesh Temple, Ranathambhor, the second card to Balaji Temple, Tirupathi and the third card to Sri Sai Baba in Shiridi. Then I posted five cards abroad and prayed to Baba that at least one family from abroad should attend the wedding
