Our Most Graceful Sai

We are very humble devotees of Sai baba. Lord Sai has shown His concern

for His devotees in many ways. He has helped us in many ways during the

past. We were very fortunate to be able to visit Shirdi and we

completely surrendered at his lotus feet. There is one incident I would

like to narrate here for the readers of Sai Leela Magazine.

My husband is an Army Officer. He got his posting to Jaipur. He left for

Jaipur leaving me and my daughter at the previous station. We wanted to

stay back at the old station till my husband got a house at the new

station. He was frantically trying to fix up the house. He was very keen

to bring us to his place of working as soon as he would be able to get a

house. At last he was able to arrange an accommodation and we all came

to Jaipur with our bag and baggage.

The house was very small and it was a part of a bungalow It didn't have

any privacy and we were living with great difficulty. We couldn't

properly settle down since there was hardly any place to keep our

luggage. The surroundings were also dirty and I used to feel very bad

there. But we continued to stay there and in the meanwhile we started

looking out for a better house. My husband took one month's leave. We

decided to search for a house. One day, one of his friends informed

him that there was a house available in one of the posh colonies. We

went to meet the house owner. He was very nice and he was prepared to

give his house for a monthly rent of Rs. 1000/-. Somehow I felt that the

rent asked was high for that house without realising the high rent

prevailing in that area. But we kept quiet and didn't say anything in

front of him. He gave us the house plan so that we could get the house

hired for the period of 3 years. My husband went to his house next day

and returned the plan saying that we didn't want the house. Again we

started hunting for a house. We saw many houses. The houses which we

saw were very small and the rent was also very high compared to the

other house, which we didn't take up. After one week we got fed up and

returned to the same gentleman who offered his house. But we were a bit

late. He had already given his house to somebody. We felt very bad for

losing that house. We started praying to our Lord Sai to help us out in

solving this problem. My husband was very much upset since he couldn't

find a proper house. But somehow we know that Lord Sai will find a

solution for our problem. Most unexpectedly one day he 'got a call from

the same house owner, who was offering his house to us, that there was a

good house available in the same locality. We went to meet the house

owner with him. He agreed to give us the house and we shifted there

within four days The house which we got now is in the same posh locality

and much better than the previous house which we missed. Only because of

Sai's grace we could settle down before my husband's leave expired. We

bow to Lord Sai.
