“Sharing Devotees experiences”

[SS91]

Another Sweet Leela of Sai on “Sharing Devotees experiences”
Satya Bajjuri, Plymouth, MN


I bow to the Lotus Feet of Samartha Sadguru Sri Sainath maharaj. This happened on Oct 14, 2003, the day I documented my experiences to publish for Sai Sandesh, [“About the necessity of guru - Vol. 1 Issue xx] in the office @ 5pm. As I drove home at 6pm, listening to MPR [I have the habit of listening to MPR on Radio during the evening rides], heard the following (around 6:50pm).

That week MPR was raising Funds for their next year and all announcers were asking for Funds. The announcer was talking about himself and MPR. As he started talking, my inner feeling said clearly that “you will get a message now so please hear with attention”. And the announcer started saying he was trained by MPR - and he was trained that “Don’t the present the stories like every other person (here the meaning is another radio channel) does, but present the story in a Interesting, Delightful, attractive way but do it fair and honest!”.

See the beautiful leela of Sai here, I wrote about my experiences that evening. And later in the same day I got the message from Sai, telling me to write it attractively with full devotion. Isn’t this enough proof to say that “Sai is always watching at us”? Observe the sweet leela here, I am listening to MPR every day but this kind of inner feeling never occurred to me. And on this day I am listening from last 50 minutes and just before this announcer was started making above statement, Sai’s Invisible form told me clearly that this message is for you. What a wonderful experience!

It’s needless to say that The devotees who are acquainted with Sai Satcharita and Devotees experiences, they know that Sai will send the messages in various mystic ways and only that devotee can understand that “this message is for him”. The Sai Sandesh, I got from this leela is “Sai is encouraging all of us (thru this sharing of my experience with you all) to share our experiences”. I need to talk about some of the dilemma I initially had for few months. For a long time (5 to 6 months) I was in dilemma, I had some un-necessary questions in my mind whether to share my experiences or not? When a Sai devotee has a question, what he would do? Nevertheless to say, I turned to Sai and prayed him that I need and want a green signal from him If he wants me to share my experiences. And as I prayed I got it. How I got green signal from our beloved Sai is also another interesting leela. It is also in a chamatkari-way and I will share this leela in my future stories. Regarding the current experience one more interesting thing happened next day. This is on Oct16-2003 (2nd day after the above experience of MPR) @4:30pm, I had some free time in the office. So I opened Satcharitra on web, randomly picked and started reading 3rd chapter. And this is what I read. Sri Sai Baba’s promise: “If my leelas are written, the Avidya (nescience) will vanish and if they are attentively and devoutly listened to, the consciousness of the worldly existence will abate, and strong waves of devotion, and love will rise up and if one dives deep into My Leelas, he would get precious jewels of Knowledge”. On Oct-15 I wrote down about my experience Sai’s Leela thru MPR-announcer, the message he sent me. And the next day in the office at 4:30 pm I started to read Satcharitra 3rd chapter… I read the above Promise of Sai. I think this is also another Leela happened to me, by Sai’s blessings, where he is encouraging devotees to read and write his Leeals. That’s wonderful!

Hence, I encourage all of you to write your experiences to Sai Sandesh. Please do not hesitate to write them thinking that experience is your personal. Our beloved Guru-God wants us to read and write his leelas that he is blessing us all every day. And by sharing his leelas we are increasing our devotion towards our Sai, which is our ultimate goal. If one observes carefully “Nava-Vidha Bhakti”, the four of nine methods are “Sravanam, Smaranam, Kirtanam and Sakhyam”. Reading, sharing and remembering his Leelas are nothing but practicing above four types of prayers. We all should write so many stories of His Holiness so that it forces Sai Sandesh to be sent bi-weekly instead of monthly and then weekly. Our publishers will send it more frequently if they are poured in by many many stories and I will pray to Our Sai for the same. And before ending this story, I do the prayer to Baba. Oh Sai! our beloved God! Continue showering your blessings on all of us, continue protecting us with your loving guidance.

Shri Sadguru Sainath Maharaj Ki Jai!

Bow to Sri Sai Peace be to all.
