DEVOTEE EXPERIENCE - I had heard through my friends that by reading Sai Charitra – one can find new meaning and wisdom about life/relationships/God - By Archana, USA

 

 

 

 

 

My experience with Baba - I have been Sri Sai Baba’s devotee since 1998 – which was prior to my marriage. I got married in 2001 and moved with my husband to US. During our initial years of marriage we went through a lot of misunderstandings between us and both our families also went through some rough times.

 

The gap between them had widened and my husband had also restrained himself from being cordial with my side of the family. The relationship between my husband and me had also become very fragile. In the meanwhile he had lost his job and it was the most challenging time for us. A friend had forwarded Sri Sai Chalisa in the email and I chanted it every Thursday, to this day. My husband got a job within 6 months by Baba’s grace.

 

I went through a phase where our relationship was on a downhill and had no hopes of anything at all. I prayed ardently to Baba during such times to help me get through it and to restore the family peace and build bridges between both the families again. The relationship between my in-laws and me had healed by that time by Baba’s grace, but there was absolutely no hope about my husband’s relationship with my side of the family.

 

I had heard through my friends that by reading Sai Charitra – one can find new meaning and wisdom about life/relationships/God. So I read Sai Charitra on Thursdays. I started seeing some positive changes. We had fewer disagreements and our relationship got a bit stronger. I started concentrating on my family life and gave up hope about my husband’s relationship with my side of the family.

 

My parents visited US in summer and they stayed with my brother and I had no hope that they would ever visit us. Things were changing slowly but steadily and then one day an unexpected thing happened – my husband personally invited them to our place and even booked the air tickets!

 

This is when I realized that even though I gave up hope Baba did not give up on me. He taught me the valuable lesson of patience and perseverance. I have a stronger and renewed sense of faith in Baba and I thank Him from the bottom of my heart for restoring the family bond and peace. Baba’s mercy and grace has been with me all this while even in my most challenging times – I was ignorant not realizing it.

 

Thank you so much Baba!
