Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Dear Brothers and Sisters, My name is Silvia, I'm a christian. My husband's name is Abhishek , he is an ardent devotee of Baba,I believe that Baba is a great saint. My husband being a hindu we had avery very strong opposition before marriage from his family, but we believe that God will make a way and that Baba will bless us since he always said that God is one. We waited for anout 2 years for his parents to agree , but they didn't, we begged at their feet and cried for mercy,we continued prying harder and harder, I visited Shirdi and cried at Baba's feet to please do something. After that I got allocated to a project in teh UK and I left everything in God's hands and came to the UK, Abhishek and I continued praying harder. Once day his parents called him to his home and gave him an ultimatum that he has to get married to the girl they choose, they cried and begged at his feet like children, all because they could not face the society because I am a christian and I am of a darker complexion. So my husband decided thta it is time to take a leap of faith and he left his home and I came to my home in Goa and we got married, We got married on a thursay and when we signed the registrar there was a diary on that table with Baba's picture on it , so my husband and I were grateful to Baba as we took this as a sign of his blessing. We also got married in church , it was on a thursday too.His parents were shattered when they got to know this, they started calling him up and pleading to him to leave me and return to them, they said they'll arrange for adivorce, but we garnered the strength and hoped that in time God will heal everything and stayed together, but He got his Visa on a thursday and we flew to UK. As time passed, my husband started feeling guilty because all they told him was thta they are going to die , especially his father. My husband loves his parents very much , but slowly he started suffering very much because of the guilt and the pain he heard of his parents, His parents cut off ties with him and said that they will only accept him back if he leaves me and comes back to them. WE went to india in march and seekd to visit them ans to visit Shirdi together, they did not allow him to take me with him to his place, they even forbid him to take me to Shirdi. They has kept our marriage a secret from the society and were scared that if I go to Shirdi with him someone might see us together. They refused to meet him when he went ot meet them , saying that they'll meet him only if he leave me. So he came back with a heavy heart and a filled with complete guilt and helplessness, we returned to UK and as the days went by, things became worse, he became more and more guilty, he started treating me with contempt, blamimg me that I'm responsible for his family's plights, he kept repeating one thing 'My father is going to die' he became depressed. We went through a ,lot of counselling but nothing helped, I had months of tears with all the hurt , as much as I could understand his pain, I couldn't understand why he was treatingme that way...my family was very supportive, thay just said keep praying to God. I kept praying and surrendered all to God. one day he came to me and said he's going back to India to his parents and that if they do not accept him this time too, he has no intentions of continuing with this marriage because he cannot see them die. but after that he calmed down a bit and said that he'll just go and beg at their feet for mercy and if they still don't then he'll come back . He went to them on the 22nd of this month and was supposed ot return today, but after he reached there and met them, he stopped calling me, stopped answering my calls and then on monday chatted with me online saying that he wants to end the marriage because he cannot see his father die. I was tottally shattered. I felt all my prayers and sacrifices went down the drain. I believe his family has even started searching marriage propsals for him. I'm all alone in the uk and I find this battle so very difficult to fight.... So I thought I write to the group that he loves so much, to ask you to please pray for him and for me and especially for his parents, for a change of heart. I believe that God almighty is one in all religions and that if one has faith and prays hard then he listens and blesses, he has alrady blesse us and got us married , I need all your prayers, please pass this email to yout group and please pray for us. I have faith that Baba will listen to all our prayers if not mine alone... I do not think that any religion says that we should differentiate people on the basis of religion and caste and colour. I have faith in your prayers.... Thanks a lot of all your help. God bless you, Silvia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
