Baba answers your prayers

By S. Mani

On 10th September 1998, a neatly dressed young man came with a friend,

attended the noon pooja at our Sai Mandir in Virar, Mumbai. After the

arathi was over, he was still gazing at Baba and was wiping tears from

his eyes. I watched him for some time and inquisitively talked to him.

He told me that his name was TVS Prasad, a BE graduate and was working

as a Senior Manager in a company. His parents, wife and children were

all in his native place in Andhra Pradesh. He came to Mumbai as he was

interviewed for a position in a Saudi Arabian firm. Unfortunately, the

agent cheated him by taking his money, passport and vanished. He was now

in a difficult situation as he could neither go back to his previous

assignment nor could look forward to the Saudi assignment. Left with no

choice, he was doing some piece job right now and staying with a friend

and saving money to get a job.

 

He made a request. He wanted me to visit his parents in Andhra on his

behalf and tell them his predicament. He would bear my expenses for his

trip. He did not wish to get back to them till he got a job. I convinced

him that I was a stranger and his people may or may not believe my words

and it would be better if he himself visited them and explain the

predicament. I told him to sincerely pray to Sai Baba who would

certainly do the needful.

 

I invited him and his friend to our house for lunch. For me it was Sai

Baba himself coming to my place and accepting prasad. He visited the Sai

Mandir the next day also. Then several months passed and there was no

trace of this devotee. I thought that he might have gone back to his

native place or might have got a job elsewhere.

 

Then, one fine morning I received a closed cover. The postal stamp was

from Riyadh. It was a letter from this gentleman. He wrote to me: " By

the blessings of Sai Baba, my ambition has been fulfilled. I am now

employed in Digital Computers in Riyadh. I will personally go and meet

my people, etc. " He had thanked me for the solace I had given him. Baba

never fails His devotees. What the devotee wishes, he will get it from

Him.
