Vadlamani Srilakshmi
Om Sairam. Dear devotees of Sai, I would like to share my experience that happened on last Saturday in Sai ka Aaangan, Gurgaon. This may sound trivial for some but it was really a great experience for me, which I would like to pen. We were planning to shift to Gurgoan as we are taking our own flat by Baba's grace. From the very day, we were thinking that if there were any Sai Mandir nearby we could have his darshan. To my surprise in one of the articles, I found that there is one place like that called " Sai ka Aangan" in Sushant lok Block -C which is very near to our premises. Thanks to the devotee for providing the details. After that, we made it a point of going there whenever we visit our flat (being constructed). For the first time we visited the temple with some difficulty in tracing the exact location. Anyway, Sai helped us in our Trial. Last week's visit was our second and I Baba gave such a wonderful experience that my eyes flooded with tears to know how he takes care of his devotees in each and every matter. How much merciful he is? By the time we reached the mandir it was 2.15pm. By that time, mandir was closed. We don't know the timings. Some devotee told that it will be opened at 3.30 pm and enquired from where we had come n he requested to wait n have Darshan. We were feeling terribly hungry since we did not even had our breakfast and our one year old son was not well. We decided to stay back and go only after having darshan but feeling restless due to hunger. We took a round in the temple premises. Such a beautiful and serene place can't be expressed in words. Such a calm, holy and peaceful atmosphere that you forget you are in a highly polluted atmosphere and hectic life in Delhi and Gurgoan. Some devotees were taking lunch near the kitchen. I wanted to ask some prasad but did not. I felt that if Baba knows our hunger he would definitely arrange for some prasadam. Thinking that we took a round and coming back.
One maataji enquired about us as if she knows us and requested to stay back and have Darshan. She turned back to the kitchen and again turned towards us and asked " Prasad khayenge". These words are from Baba only I strongly believe. Really, tears started pouring from my eyes to know how merciful my Baba is. He asked about us through that devotee. Really, a joyful and self-realizing experience. She gave us a plate of rice with daal and curry. It was so tasty and we relished the prasadam like any thing. Our son also ate the prasadam with joy though he had fever. He played in the premises with great joy as if he knew the place without any fear forgetting his fever. The experience is great that I decided to share with my fellow devotees. I realized why Baba always told Annadaan is the greatest charity and how any person who is hungry gets satisfaction. It is great to encourage annadaan. That's why our scriptures say " Annadaanam maha daanam" and " annadaata sukhibhava".
Sai baba let your holy lotus feet be our sole refuge.OMSAIRAM
