Sai Ram devotees!
Though I am completely down both physically & mentally, I feel like sharing this with you all today itself (Being Baba’s day) as a token of love & gratitude for my beloved Sri Sai.
We all attended my nephew’s wedding in TN on the 2nd July & started around 7 AM next day morning from there. We had coffee etc. in a Hotel & started. Usually both my kids love sitting in the front next to the Driver’s seat. My second daughter was sitting on my first daughter’s laps. Generally they enjoy themselves, like hearing music, play Anthakshari, words building etc.
Around 8 AM or so, I really don’t know why, I called up my sister who was still in the choultry near our Family Deity’s temple & asked her to offer 2 -- Rs.101/- (i.e. Rs.202/-) to the Lord on behalf of my 2 kids. She was asking why suddenly, since I had Darshan of Him till the previous day & offered money everything. Any way, I didn’t have an answer.
Around 8.05 AM, suddenly Ashwini (my second daughter) turned & looked at me. I called her to come & sit next to me. Usually, she doesn’t come. She prefers to sit with her sister. But without a word, she jumped & came to me.
Around 8.10AM, because of our Driver’s carelessness, he went & hit a bullock cart. It lost control, came & dashed the front glass, the glass broke &there was severe damage to the front portion of the car. Just then, Charanya had bent down to search for her ear phone, which had suddenly slipped from her ears. Both my kids were saved. Not even a small injury to them.
Do you know something? Sai’s statue which was in the front portion took the complete blow. The base portion got torn, the statue was fine, but I found it on the other side of the road. He had taken the pain & saved all of us.
Before 15 days of our travel, Sai gave an indication to us by 2 dreams. One early morning, I had a dream that in my Pooja room, I see only Sai’s photo with Abhaya Hastha) & no other photo or idol. Immediately I woke up, came to the Pooja Room & told Sai that By this dream, I get an indication that even if all the other Gods leave me & go, you are there with us & also that all are one & the same. It is our dear Shirdi Sai, who is there in all the forms. When I turned, I saw my eldest daughter standing next to me with tear filled eyes. She told me that she had a dream in which we are all in the Hospital. Ashwini has some problem. Charanya tells my sister(who is crying) Not to worry. Sai will surely save our Ashwini. She was really upset & scared.
We were a little relieved because of my dream, which I had at the very same time & also by her words to my sister that Sai will save Ashwini. But still, we kept praying for our Ashwini. We started telling Sai Kavacham daily on her behalf. (Still We haven’t told her about this dream.)
It is none other than Sai, who has made me call her to come & sit next to me, at the right time. He has saved her from a very bad phase of her life. We went back to the choultry, saw thirumanjanam to Lord Oppiliappan & did many other useful things by contributing for some useful good causes to the temple, came back safely yesterday with Sai’s grace.
Charanya was covered with glasses, but not even one poked her. But there was one small glass piece in Ashwini’s sandals which poked her, a little bleeding was there for a fraction of a minute.
What a lovely God we have got. We do not know how to thank Him, As I write this, my eyes are filled with tears.
I am sorry for the long message. I felt like writing the whole thing.
EVER INDEBTED TO YOU MY DEAREST SAI.
BE WITH ALL OF US SAI. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN SAI
