I work as a software engineer in USA in a well reputed Retail
Company. I came to know about Baba during my graduation days through
my mother. I heard about Baba way before that through one of my
childhood friends and family during my childhood. but only got
connected to Him during my graduation days. It's, just like few
great people say "You can only come close to Baba or any God, if you
are blessed and at the right time and moment". Jai Sai Paramatma.
I always felt that Baba was not just "Guru of Gurus" but "God of all
the Gods", meaning Paramatma. Infact on some occasions, when I used
to meditate on "OM", and desire to see some picture of God, I always
see or imagine some or the other picture of Baba. It was always
spontaneous and natural. Now, before I start detailing my
experience, I first want to thank the administration for doing such
a great service to all the devotees, by creating such a wonderful
platform to share their experiences and emotions. You are all
blessed souls and sure to get the ultimate moksha.
Coming to my experience, I heard about USA, living conditions out
there, educational and job opportunities and life style way back in
my 9th grade and got so deeply hooked and built up a strong desire
to move to USA either after my Graduation or for job. Due to my bad
luck and my carelessness, I failed in my 12th board exams and my
desire got crushed. I failed in the supplementary exam as well. For
1 long year, I was in the house preparing to clear my 12th exam for
the following year and also preparing for engineering entrance. I,
somehow managed to clear my 12th exam, but couldn't get through my
engineering entrance. I didn't want to lose another year for this
and instead joined straight into B.Sc. That was the time when Baba
came into my house and since then got so well connected to Him. I,
however intermittently used to fight with Him for not fulfilling my
immediate desire at that point, but then again used to apologize and
get back to Him. It's like Baba holds my hand and never lets it go,
just because I was mad at Him at that point of time. Jai Sairam.
Anyways, coming back to my experience, as time passed and post
completing my Post graduation in computers, I somehow managed to get
a job in IT firm. That was the time, when my hope and desire to go
back to USA and build a house re-surfaced, but after my marriage was
settled, my prospective wife was damn against going abroad, and that
point of time my Dad was also not in support of me going abroad. It
was like a lone battle in me between my desire and family support.
My desire got crushed again. At this point of time, I more or less
gave up on moving to USA. I started accepting my fate and left
everything to Sai Paramatma. Days passed, and we built a house in
India and slowly started settling down. I moved on too, assuming
that Baba too wants me to settle down in India. However, this is Sai
we are talking about Who never leaves His children’s dreams
unfulfilled, if that dream is going to be good for them in all
respects. I, one day casually bought up a point to my wife, "we
bought a house on loan and will take lot of time to close the loan,
so how about we go to USA for some time and then close the loan",
and come back to India. Strangely, she agreed to it, which was the
biggest surprise of my life. My dad too hesitantly agreed. It was
the greatest moment of my life, it's like I moved a big mountain of
obstacle, of course with Baba’s help and His blessings only.
We then moved to USA, land of opportunities and then after
continuous persuasion, I got my wife agree to buy a house in USA as
well, again Baba played another miracle. I had my first child born
here in USA too. So it's like all the dreams slowly started getting
fulfilled and by Baba's grace, we are having wonderful time. Jai
Sainatha, please bless me, my entire family and all those devotees
who reach out to You. As, I feel You are their only hope, Who can
not only fulfil their desires, but also make them walk on the path
for moksha. Jai Baba.
