saidevotees experience ....

[Guest guest]

During the year 1991 I was trying for a good marriage alliance for my daughter

but I could not succeed in this process. It was on 01-01-92 New Year's day

morning I prayed Sri SAI BABA of SHIRIDI and asked for a message regarding the

marriage of my daughter. I closed my eyes and opened a page in the SAI

SATCHARITA written by Sri Nagesh Vasudev Gunaji. To my surprise it was page 241

chapter 47 and the message was " I told him not to worry about this, as the

bridegroom himself would come seeking her " .

 

I was very happy as the message indicates marriage of my daughter will takes

place in the year 1992. In the month of January 1992 One of my friends took the

necessary details of my daughter so that he will give it to some known person

for her marriage. On 17-02-1992 I received a phone call from someone who came

from Visakhapatnam to seek my daughter's alliance. I was in dilemma and prayed

Baba, Sri SAI BABA instantly answered my prayer and advised me to go ahead. The

boy and their parents liked my daughter and on 20-02-1992, the marriage of my

daughter was fixed. I felt Sri SAI has given a good bridegroom to my daughter.

The marriage fixed on 10-05-1992 at 06.58 a.m. in Hyderabad. I prayed Baba to

help me in the marriage activities and for the success of the marriage on

22-03-1992 in the afternoon sleep Sri SAI BABA appeared to me in the dream in

the form of my Father (LATE SRI R.V.RAO) and promised me that he will help me in

my daughters marriage and he will attend the marriage also. I was surprised how

a dead person (my father) can attend the marriage and help me in the marriage.

 

IN SAI SATCHARITA chapter 40 page 212 SRI SAI BABA says " I always to think about

him for those who remembers me, I require no conveyance, i.e carriage, Tonga,

(Horse drawn Cart) or an Aero plane. I run and manifest myself to him, who

lovingly calls on me " . I felt SRI SAI BABA might not attend the marriage of my

daughter in the form of my father. SRI SAI says in the SAI SATCHARITA page 151

chapter 28 " I have no form nor any extension - I live Everywhere " SRI SAI BABA

further told in chapter 40 page 213 " See, to keep my words I would even

sacrifice my life, I would never be untrue to my words " . I totally surrendered

to SRI SAI BABA and started the marriage arrangements. In the month of March

1992 wedding cards were printed and as per the directions of SRI SAI I posted

First card to Genesh Temple, Ranathambhor, Second card to Balaji Temple,

Tirupathi, Third card to Sri Sai Baba in Shiridi. Then I posted five cards

abroad and prayed Baba to see that at least one family from abroad attends the

marriage.

 

The day before the marriage I prayed Baba to help me in carrying out the

necessary activities. On the day of marriage I was very busy in the morning and

could not spare even five minutes time for reading the SAI SATCHARITA. I was

having Ahamkar (Pride) that I can spare daily time for SATCHARITA PARAYANA. Sri

Sai made me so much busy that I could not touch the SAI SATCHARITA on that day,

and he removed my Ahamkar. I totally forgot Sri Sai in the marriage and I was

talking to my friends and bridegroom's relatives. It was around 11.45 a.m. the

Pandit of Bridegroom has come to me along with a Brahmin and asked me to give

some Dakshina to the Brahmin. I thought the Brahmin must be his relative, and I

gave Rs.21/- as Dakshina. Then the Brahmin was asking about food. The Pandit has

sent him to dining hall to take the food along with other guests. In the dining

hall I noticed that the Brahmin who took Dakshina from me was smiling towards

me, I felt he may ask more money and so I left that place. I was completely

occupied with the relatives and guest and did not even take the food till night.

 

After the MUHARAT in the morning my well wisher who came to the marriage from

U.S.A has offered the Break-fast and told. Had I not taken the breakfast it

would have become FASTING day to me. SRI SAI is against fasting and he never

allowed his devotees to observe fasting. (Ref.Chapter 32 page 173). In the night

before I was going to bed I prayed Sri Sai Baba and conveyed my thanks to him

for the success of the marriage. I felt Sri Sai Baba has not attended the

marriage and it was Baba's breach of promise. Sri Sai has promised on 22-03-1992

that he will attend the marriage, if Sri Sai Baba attended the marriage in which

form he attended? It was a question to me and I asked Sri Sai to kindly clear my

doubts. Sri Sai Baba appeared to me in the dream in the form of Brahmin (who

took Rs.21/- from me as Dakshina) and was smiling.

 

I got up from my bed and stood in front of Sai's Photograph and blamed myself

for not recognizing Sai who attended my daughter's marriage without fail. Next

day to cross check I asked Bridegrooms Pandit about the Brahmin who took Rs.21/-

as Dakshina from me. He informed that the Brahmin is a Stranger to him who

happened to come to the marriage. I felt that STRANGER is none other than SAI.

 

BOW TO SHRI SAI - PEACE BE TO ALL
