When I was in my 7th grade,
in the year 2007, I had an amazing experience, though I realized it
a bit later. So, my school had a system of sending the monthly fee
to the house address in the name of the head of the family
(Father's) and not the student's name. One month, when we received
the bill, I was furious to find that my dad's name (Sriram) was
replaced with another one (Sairam). At that time, I wasn't a devotee
of loving Baba. Expect for the fact that, my dad's elder sister from
Mumbai sent a copy of Sai Satcharitra to us. Since it was in the
original Marathi version, we couldn't read it. Because, Tamil is our
mother tongue. So, that was all the information I had about Baba.
The next day, I took my dad to the front office at school and asked
them to rectify the mistake. They promised to do so. I studied in
that school till 2010, the mistake was never resolved. It was Baba's
way of saying that He is the head of the family; He is my Dad who
will never leave us.
In the year 2009, my dad had court and law problems, caused by his
company and was put up in jail for a month. We were very depressed
and used to visit my aunt once in a while. During this time, my
aunt, I and my mom went to a shop for getting some stationary items
for my little cousins. Mom saw the idol of Baba and she badly wanted
to purchase it. But lack of money made her to hesitate. My aunt too
disagreed. So we paid the bill for rest of the items and went home.
When we reached home, wonders of wonder, Baba's idol, which mom
wanted to purchase was in there. I immediately checked the bill to
see the cost of the idol and i couldn't believe it wasn't even
added. Mom got closer to Baba and began worshipping Him. After a
month, dad was released, but very soon he died of heart attack. It
was very devastating. I and my mother underwent endless problems. We
thought our life was going to end. The troubles started in 2009 and
went on till the mid of 2014. In between I got into bad friendships.
None of them had any good impact in my life. It affected my life in
all possible ways, especially my studies. I and my mom drifted apart
for some reason so that made me to seek attention and love
elsewhere. But, I am grateful that, I came out of all that safely
with the blessings of my Baba.
Baba wanted me to finish my Karma and pull me towards His Feet which
I did. Baba's ways are enigmatic. He alone knows what works for His
devotees. It's unbelievable how much Baba loves me. I need to make a
note that I began reading Sai Satcharitra (English version) in the
year 2014, in the month of June. My wish was of course fulfilled.
That's when I got closer to Baba's wonderful feet. The miracles of
reading and listening to His life stories are wonderful. Anything is
possible with the love and blessings of Baba. Now I and my mom are
living happily with little financial commitments but I am sure it
will all get solved very soon. I can't imagine how my life would be
without Baba. He is the oxygen that I inhale. My experience with
Baba is endless. But I will save it for later. I will very soon
upload my other experiences too. I request the devotees to remember
Shraddha and Saburi. Baba loves His devotees to an extreme extent.
He will never leave us. He is right beside us. Peace Be To All.
