Sai Ram What can I write about Baba I had promised Baba to write my experiences in this website. I do not know where to start...When we first immigrated from India to New Zealand we had been through many tough times but it was Baba who was always with us, our pillar of strength who helped us to settle well here. We recently shifted from New Zealand to Australia and Baba helped my husband in getting a very good job.



Both of us were in good jobs in New Zealand but had found out that education system was very good in Australia, so decided to immigrate to Australia for our kids future. Also from the information we had gathered, cost of living was also very reasonable in Australia compared to NewZeland. Our faith in Baba gave us the strength to take this risk of resigning our jobs in Newzeland. My husband quit his current job and came to Australia in search of job. He attended couple of interviews but no one had got back to his consultant. The only feed back from 2 of the3 interviews he had attended was that they had few other candidates to interview and they would get back to him. It was time for me to hand over our house in NewZelandand start for Australia. I was in New Zealand with my kid's mom who had come to help us move. Our only hope was Baba. I was praying Baba day night as we had no strength to face and start life all over again in a new country. The first thing Baba arranged for my husband was accommodation.



We knew no one in this country. Suddenly, one day, we met an old friend who offered to help us with accommodation in Australia as he had a very good friend living there since past 3 years. This person in Australia helped my husband to get accommodation with few other bachelors. These youngsters were very good and helped my husband a lot. They were moving to another house very soon but they spoke to their real estate agent who offered to give us this house for 2 months to live. Back to job search, 2 weeks past, first day of the 3rd week was a Monday, it was time for us to pack off start to Australia within 2 weeks. That evening I was very sick also feeling very tensed as to what we would do if my husband did not get a job. I got a call from my husband saying he would wait for one more week and if he did not hear back from any companies, he would come back and look for a job again in New Zealand. I was hurt, I still feel very guilty for blaming Baba. I consider Baba to be my father, my father passed away when I was 16. After my husband hung up, I looked very angrily at Baba's photo forgive me Baba and said to him r u not with me and my family I thought you were always with me and u r doing this to me. Then I rang my in-laws I feel very close to my in-laws and ring whenever I face any problems to inform that we may not immigrate and what my husband had said.



My father-in-law said never mind, whatever is best will happen do not worry. Even they were feeling sad. As I hung up, I got a call from my husband again and he was sounding very happy and said 'CONGRATS', I was already very sick did not understand what he meant and said why r u saying congrats he informed me as soon as I hung up his consultant rang him to give the good news that he got the job ALL BABA'S GRACE I gave the good news to my mum first who was with me at home...poor thing she was not expressing her feeling all this time but only praying Baba then. I rang my in-laws immediately and told them. My mother-in-law then informed me that when I had rang them earlier and was very sad she prayed Baba to save us from this situation and SHOW HIS MIRACLE and Baba had answered our prayers THANK YOU BABA In the next 2 weeks my husband came back to Auckland, we performed a Ganapati Homam in Ganesh temple here, he came back to Melbourne to arrange everything for us. My mom left for India and I with my 2 kids came to Melbourne . Its been 2 weeks and this is my 3rd week here. Baba has been helping us everyday I feel Baba is more like a family person to me, like my dad. He has helped us to find a house, a good school for my son a day care for my little one. There is no limit for Baba's miracles. May Baba be with everyone Thank you Baba for being with me my family. I surrender myself my family to you. Please increase in us faith, devotion and patience.
