Sai Leela-360 - How i first came to know about Sai Baba
How I first came to
know about Sai Baba
My friend took me to a Sai baba temple in 2014 but I refused to pray him as he
was a Muslim. I also criticized my friend for worshipping a Muslim. During this
time, I was very frustrated in my life as I didn’t have a job for almost one
year after completing my MBA. I was desperate to find a job in 2 months as I
must pay the monthly interest (16000 rs) for my MBA education loan. One day, I
was very depressed and suddenly, I went to a Saibaba temple that was 25 kms away
from my house. I still don’t understand why I went there. But, as soon as I went
there, my mind was calm and composed. All my worries and depression vanished for
some time. Within a week after this incident, I got 2 interview calls and then I
cleared both. I was surprised as I rarely got interview calls as I was
unemployed for a longtime after my MBA.
I accepted an offer from one of the companies (which is 4 lakhs per annum). Deep
inside my heart, I knew that this salary was low, and I had to pay my education
loan. Believe me or not, within a week after joining this company, my salary
package was increased to 5.2 lakhs per annum. They increased my salary because
one of the candidates who was about to join the firm in my same level demanded a
higher pay.
I was dumb struck, and I knew it was because of Sairam. From this day onwards, I
became a die-hard devotee of Saibaba.
Now, I will talk about some of the miracles that happened in my life after this:
A new job
I worked in this company for 2 years, but I didn’t get any salary increment. So,
I decided to look for a new job and got one with an annual salary of 6.5 lakhs.
I wasn’t happy with the salary as I knew if had got an increment in my current
job, I would have got a job with much higher pay. I was severing my one month
notice in my current company. During that time, I was given an increment and my
salary package was increased to 6.7 Lakhs per annum. As I decided not to stay
with this company, I just got the increment letter and then started looking for
a job. Within a week, I got a job offer of 9.7 Lakhs per annum.
After joining this firm, I decided to apply for Canadian Permanent Residency
(PR). When I enquired in a few immigration consultancies, they said that my
master’s program isn’t recognized by WES (an international accreditation agency)
so I wouldn’t qualify to apply for Canadian PR. I prayed to Baba to help me with
this issue. After a few days, a voice within me said not to give up and do a
research online on alternative agencies to WES. I did it and luckily there was a
new agency that listed all the MBA colleges it approved, and my college was one
among them . This new agency approved just 50 colleges in India, and my college
was one of them. I was surprised to see my college’s name as it was not even in
the top 100 MBA colleges in India. Later, I found out that my college recently
got an international accreditation called AASCB because of which they were
listed by this new agency.
Once I got my education approved, I also wrote my IELTS examination and got very
good score. I applied for my Permanent Residency and got it within 28 days.
During this time, I haven’t heard of anyone getting their PR this fast.
I then came to Canada and then decided to do a masters in analytics. I didn’t
have enough money to do this program, but due to Baba’s grace I got a loan from
Canadian government that covered my living expenses and tuition fees.
After completing my program, I was frustrated as I was unable to find a job, and
I also had very less money in my account. I prayed to baba with faith every day
and I cried to him every day. I would keep my head on his feet (I had a Baba
photo in my room) and sleep. Whenever, I do this I hear someone whispering,
“Don’t worry my child I am there with you”.
I cleared the first three rounds in a well-reputed company, but I didn’t get the
job. I was again frustrated and depressed as I was running out of money. During
this time, I read SaiSatcharita book in seven days. Believe me or not, within 2
weeks, I got 2 job offers. The salary offered was very high. I didn’t even
imagine that I would get an offer that’s substantially high. It was good that I
didn’t get the first job offer as I am sure that would have been much lower
offer when compared to my current one.
These are just few examples. Due to Baba’s grace, I married the woman of my
dreams, my anger has reduced, my courage has increased, I now treat people with
kindness, I don’t judge people as I now see everyone as devotees of Sai, I am
more helpful. My entire personality has changed due to Sairam.
I am extremely grateful that Saibaba has chosen me as his devotee. Pray to Sai
with faith and patience. Om Sairam.
