Sai in Dreams-- The Glory of Shirdi Sai--3D page turn format

[Guest guest]

Sairam,

 

Wish you all a Happy HOLI

 

I

would like to talk on the topic Sai in dreams. I will start today’s

discourse with a request to accept my pranaams. I think the coverage of events

will be more interesting to those who read Sri Sai Satcharita on regularly.

Many people say that whatever incidents we come across are reflected in our

dreams. But in case of Sai devotees it is totally different. I would like to

narrate two of my experiences with Baba in my dreams

 

I was

under the impression that Sai does not know English. Very soon I realized that

it was my mistake. In the year 1993, Sai appeared in my dream and gave me

a white coloured drink. It was like starch solution taken out from hot cooked

rice. I asked Baba what the drink was. Baba replied that the drink was called

‘BROSE’ by the English people. Suddenly, I got up from my bed after feeling the

heat of the drink on my lips. Jotted down the word ‘BROSE’ on a piece of

paper. Next day, I looked for the meaning in the 20th Century,

Chamber’s Dictionary. To my surprise, the meaning runs like this- It is a

Simple and nutritious drink made by pouring hot milk or boiling water into

oatmeal and is seasoned with salt and butter. It means it is a drink prepared with

oats. Thus Baba conveyed in the dream that He knew English language, by

offering me the drink made out of oats. Thus He helped me in removing my inner

ego.

 

In

1995, through another incident Baba demonstrated that He had the knowledge of

English. One night before going to bed, I prayed Baba to permit me to go to

consult a Doctor in Hyderabad for my ailment. Sai appeared to me in the dream and

said – “Beware; do not go to that Doctor, he will perform operation -Lapidation

on youâ€. Next day, I looked for the meaning of the word Lapidation in the

Dictionary. It read as ‘Punishment by stoning’. That meant the Doctor will

stone me to death. So till today I have not dared to see that Doctor.

 

Now

even though not present in physical form, Baba asked for dakshina in dreams and

collected it. This will be known by an incident that happened in my life. On 9th

March, 1992, early hours of

the day, I was sleeping in my sister’s place in Vishakapattanam of Andhra

Pradesh. Baba appeared to me in the form of a person wearing a full suit and

goggles and addressed me-“You came to Vishakapatnam, gave money to your would

be son-in-law and their parents, but nothing to meâ€. Give Me five Rupeesâ€. I

took it as my luck. On the same day in early morning, at 6:00 AM, I was waiting to board a train on the platform at

Visakhapatnam Railway station. I was on my return journey to Hyderabad waiting for the arrival of East Coast

express. Sun was just rising in the East. I noticed a man dressed

in a suit wearing goggles coming from the other end of the platform. He sat on

the same bench on which I was sitting and waiting for the train’s arrival. I

recalled the dream in the morning, wherein I was asked a dakshina of Rupees

five by Baba. I was wondering whether Baba had come for taking dakshina or

whether it was my illusion. He may not accept on offering and may as well fight

with me. So I, dropped a five Rupee note, near his feet and I addressed him,

Sir, a five rupee note had fallen down from your pocket. He bent down and

picked up the note, and smilingly walked away, towards other end of the

platform and soon disappeared. To me, it can’t be anybody else other than

Sainath who laughed over my ignorance.

 

In

chapter -40 of Sri Sai Satcharita, Sai made us to realise that He is always present

among His devotees. In the year 1917, Baba appeared in the dream of

Hemadripanth in the form of a sanyasi on

the festive day of Holi and said that He would come to their house for

lunch. Exactly by lunch hour Baba came to Hemadripanth’s house in the form of a

photograph and we all know about the incident.

 

During

the month of March, 1996 on a Sunday, Baba appeared in my dream as my former

Chief Executive, and said that he would come to my house for having lunch. I

informed my wife in advance as she has to prepare extra food. She made fun of

me and jokingly said “you have no acquaintance with your chief Executive. How

can you expect him to come for lunch and why at all he will come�

 

I

had firm faith in Baba that He will never let down His devotees. Baba graced

the house of Hemadripanth in the form of a photograph. However, I was not in a

position to forecast the form in which Baba will come to my house. I was

eagerly waiting for Him without taking food. In those days my wife was a

beginner and was not having full faith in Baba. She waited up to 1’O clock in

afternoon and had her food. I waited up to 2:30Hrs in the Afternoon and with a

heavy heart went to the dining table for taking food. It was just five minutes

after I started with my lunch, Sri.Sattiah, a Tradesman of our company came in

and joined for lunch with me. He later told me while having lunch, that

on completion of the First shift in the factory, he felt that he should have

lunch in my house. I was happy when he told me that he was hungry and wanted to

eat in my house. I took it as a great fortune serving Baba who came to my house

in the form of a Tradesman to have food with me. These happenings further

strengthened my wife’s faith in Baba.

 

 

In

chapter-6 of Sri Sai Satcharita, Hemadripanth said-“A ship will sail a safe

passage with the help of Sadhguruâ€. Baba conveyed the same message to me

through a dream on 6th March, 1993.

 

Now

I will tell you the details of that dream.

 

I

was pedalling a three wheeler cycle Rickshaw with my wife and children seated,

slowly because of the rough road. In the mean while it started

raining heavily. The path was not clearly visible and my children did not like

slow movement and had got out of the rickshaw.

 

My

wife was picking up a quarrel and hurt me with harsh words. I was not able to

proceed further. An aged colleague of mine came to me and offered help to push

from behind and said that “I will help you till the last breathâ€. I fully

believed that the aged colleague is none other than Sai.

I would

like to tell you a very important message given by Baba to me in one of my

dreams.

â€You

need not go to Haridwar for having the darshan of Lord. Open your manodwar

i.e., gates of your mind, you can find Sri Hari thereâ€. I used to remember

these words whenever I get a feeling that I am not able to go on pilgrimage.

 

If

somebody questions me in this kaliyuga is there a God who attends on call. I

would like to humbly submit that it is only our Sadhguru Shiridi Sai Baba.

 

Let

us all together pray Lord Sainath and reach our destined goals.
