Yesterday Morning 17 th Dec 2013, It was a normal course of the day when I log on my facebook account for posting daily updates of Baba. A message was waiting in my inbox, first mentioning that the he is active reader of my post and like it alot after that he want answer of few questions that why I am using Om Sai Ram in my FB Id and how I got close to baba and why I am using this ID. So i thought to write something today in answer to the question which he asked..
My First trip to Shirdi was all of a sudden and I really went with my friends just for a outing and only to have Darshan of my lord Shani Dev at Shani Shignapur. I only had darshan of Baba Sai once and I remember when people were chanting Om Sai Shree Sai Jai Jai Sai I was chanting my MahaDev's name. Almost it took 3 hrs to have that 1st darshan. I was only looking at the lovely Eyes of Baba. That Eyes were seeing me and it will talk to me this I was feeling.This was a great pull towards Sai Baba.Along with this I was enjoying the faith of other people on Baba. Let me share with you all, it was the first time I was having faith only on people's faith. As it took 3hrs so many people was there before us,so my mind was telling me lets have a small faith on their faith as I went Shirdi first time and never imagined or dreamed for this. After that I started frequent visits to Shirdi with my friend Manish Chawla. Just being in Shirdi and sacred places like Samadhi Mandir, Dwarkamai, Gurusthan, Chavadi was in itself a great experience with the divine vibrations I felt.
Other than that, there was very little knowledge and information I had about Sai Baba and Shirdi. So I started browsing Internet gathered many sayings of Baba, collected pictures of Sai Baba and Shirdi. More and more information was read, available on the Internet. Most of the websites were gone through in details.From my childhood I am devoted towards GOD, and for me GOD means GOOD ORDER DICERTION in LIFE. Who ever shows right path to you towards Life is GOD.
The Best Part about Baba SAI I felt is that All his sayings were to show good and correct path to lead the Life and I personally felt many times my God has came in different Swarups and guided me the Way.
From my Childhood my Parents taught me to worship daily sometimes I do and sometimes I fails but from my childhood I always try and share my happiness and problems with my Lord, Deva, Baba, Maiyaaa and all after I felt Shirdi Sai Baba one more God added that's Him Our Shirdi Lord The Sai. Slowly and gradually many times as my devoting started increasing towards him I felt his presence many times.Many people may call this just a Baham but many times my Baba Sai was with me I felt his presence. If any body remember's his name he will come and save all his devotees. I feel,have true faith on your God let him and only him decide your good or bad they will always show you correct path and their presence.
After 2 more visits to Shirdi in my next few months with same of my office colleagues,friend cum brother Manish Chawla. I spent my time more in reading and browsing on Net about Baba,I had darshan of Baba at Shirdi in every 3 months from 2009 till 2012. I collected many Sai messages and snaps and started reading, accepting , sharing and sending it on daily basis to few of my Sai friends. I feel I got great treasure of Sai Bhakti and dedicated to SAI Spirituality.
I Still remember the day when I was sitting outside Samadhi Mandir around late night for standing first in the que of Kakad Aarti and I opened my Face Book ID. It was blocked, as that time I was standing outside temple so I thought to make a new id in the name of Baba and I added only 10-12 friends of mine and very few devotees whoes baba messages I liked.I decided to put all information and name of sai as I will use that Id for sai messages only,till date I had never posted any of my snaps or details in that Id. SAI images and Sai messages is been continued to post from that ID. I continued my sewa and slowly and gradually other SAI Devotees started liking those messages and adding my FB ID and I keep on sending what I collecte on daily basis and FB friend list was full,many times Baba answer my prayer and many times and even today also I felt his presence with me. I am very choosey in my friends and whom once choose never try to lose.By the grace of Baba I met few Sai devotees whoes devotion and Love towards Baba is many times greater then mine I felt. Among those one is a Rani Aunty from Mumbai,her faith and love can bring any devotee much more closer to Baba this I feel. She helped me to come more and more close to Baba , she introduced me to a person Mr. Rakesh Ji Patel.He is a devotee Of Sai Baba. I feel Baba himself guided me by him. In our first conversation when I informed him that I am from calcutta he shared his friend name who is from Kolkata and a devotee of Baba. After his phone call I searched a lot for that name and I found few of his blogs on Baba. I tried to complete each and every line what he has written about Baba Sai. Some was known to me and many was new to me. Sorry because I made a wrong image about a very nice person, as I felt Rakesh Ji a very arrogant person as he never replies to my messages whenever I ask him anything. But on the other hand i feel this person is more keen deep hurted lover of Baba. He use to share many sai bhajan's and let me tell you the fact, he is the person who created my more interest and love towards audio bhajans of Baba. His bhajan collections were aswesome. Every bhajan which he shares has a deep meaning.
He do some Sewa to people which no One can think of, he brings sacred Udi and Shri Sai SatCharitra from Shirdi, and sent it to all the Sai devotees all over the world free of cost. This type of Sewa to the mankind really inspired me more and I tried to do some. By sharing distributing Online books and bhajans to all devotee and in return I take a small commitment from them to share the same with another devotee. Slowly and gradually I tried to collect many bhajans of Baba. I personally feel SAI is with every devotee. Who ever remembers the name of Baba he comes and save his child from problems, Up's and Down's are part of Life.Even I had felt that Baba is always with me whenever it was needed though I ask for his help or not.
SAI SAI SAI is a simple word which can change many people's life if chant with Shraddha & Saburi. Very recently I had started this blog and I want to give credit for this to My Baba & this thought has also came from Rakesh Ji because daily he use shares one of the blog link and that blog is of our Old Sai friend Deepa, this i came to know later.Daily while reading a think to creat a website a day where all required information books nd bhajans of Baba will be free for all devotees. As a substitute to that I had created this Blog with the help of google and later on I feel SAI himSelf came and guided how to put his live darshan. Will difinately tell some day as time is less and have to close this now. Thanks alot my SAI my Baba my Deva for bringing me to your lotus feet. I always want to stay their with your blessings.
SAI BLESSINGS TO ALL..
Om Sai Shree Sai Jai Jai Sai..
Reading your post, I felt being drawn more towards Baba.. Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience & I hope to relive your experience.
