Guest guest Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 "Selva Rasiah" <selva.rasiah Tue Jun 8, 2004 4:40pm Swami loves all Dear Sai Brother Do not loose faith. Swami loves all. he is the origin and end for all what we say good and bad. Then how can you punish you ?. You think like that. But he is helping you in an indirect way to pass your final exam. I am sure, Swami is a good teacher, he aims for the ultimate success of you. Yours Sincerely I will pray for you for your path toward Swami to be little easier Selva --------------- MadhviSai Tue Jun 8, 2004 5:56pm Dear Brother Venkat, Sai Ram. Thank you for sharing your story with us....it is really touching. Now however please hold on to Swami really tightly.... with complete faith and try your best to be the sort of 'devotee' to make Him proud! With love and light, Madhvi Duty is God, Work is Worship --------------- Rajani <rajanimohan Tue Jun 8, 2004 10:09pm Sairam dear brother, Sai Ma is so compassionate and she will forgive you as a mother always forgives her child. Please do not loose hope and continue your prayers. Things will get better. Never leave Swami's hand. Swami (GOD) Bless you with peace of mind Sai Ram --------------- "MG" <iemg Tue Jun 8, 2004 10:16pm Dear Venkat, I was deeply touched by your story, not so much because of the suffering and mental anguish you are going through, but because of the wisdom and clarity you have gained through this experience by your heartfelt confession. You are young and there is still a whole new and bright future awaiting you. Learn from this. Committing suicide never gets rid of any problem. Resolve deep in your heart never to repeat this mistake (in this life or future lives) and accept whatever karmic retributions that come your way bravely and humbly. Sincerely do your very best to make amends no matter how long it may take. Be strong. Don't worry about what others think of you right now. What's important is how you handle this crisis and how you are going to turn your life around and make your mom and Swami proud of you. You can do it. Many people have been put through this kind of test and survived and became success stories. Of course many have also taken the cowardly way out and committed suicide. You are a student of Swami. Swami will never forsake you unless you give up on yourself. "WHY FEAR WHEN I AM HERE" Sai Baba Your friend, A.G. ---------------- "" <rjmisra1 Tue Jun 8, 2004 11:06pm Sai-Ram Venkat Bhai ! You are a very brave person by sharing your problems with sai devotees all over the world. I am praying to swami to help you. Just hang in there. You are on the right path now.I know swami will listen to your prayers. Jai Sai Ram Sai-Sister Raynu (florida) --------------- Srinivasan Rangan <rshrini23 Cc: saibabanews Sairam Dear Venkat : Gud Morning to you!!!!!! At the outset, I pray to our beloved Swami to keep showering His blessings on you and help you come out of this depression very soon I have read through your mail and believe me, very honestly, I must say that you need to be appreciated for your honesty. Well, it was Swami of course who made you do this confession. You see, all of us make mistakes. Yes, at times we do get carried away and end up doing wrong things and realize this much later. But you see this is not hte end of hte World. In fact you should feel happy from the fact that you are someone very dear to Swami and that's the reason he's been protecting you from all your dangers. Am sure you are sincerely realizing and feeling his Divine presence during this testing time. If your answer is yes, then you do not have to worry about any dangers and if you ask me I would say that you are safe in Swami's fold. I read about your visit to Parthy some time back and Swami not granting Darshan. Just wanted to share something with you. You see, it's only in the recent times that I've come into Swami's Fold. While I was at school, there was a bhajan at a close friend of mine. Me and My friend (he was also not a devotee, then) were sitting in his room and making fun of all the people who were singing. We were laughing, giggling and doin' all sorts of tom foolery ( though i think nothing was meant towards Swami, it's just that we did not have faith in Him and hence did not take it seruously). End of the bhajans Aarthi was offered to Swami's photo and suddenly Swami came into an aunty and everyone there was so excited and thrilled. At this point in time I got a bit scared. He (through that aunty) was blessing each and every one who came and gave Namaskarams. Finally, it was our turn, I was about to give Namaskarams (I was prompt at all this as I was a God fearing person), just then another devotee came pushed me aside and gave Namaskarams and took Swami's blessings. Now I and my friend are left. I bent down to give my Pranams and guess what, Swami went out of that aunty and she fell down Saying "BABA". I felt bad and it was very clear that it was because of not having faith. Well, I got married last year and my wife is in Swami's Fold and thanks to her i have also come into Swami's Fold (though she has not enforced anything on me) . But only in the recent times. Every day i could realize and feel Swami's presence and that fact that I'm infact moving into His Fold. To be precise only in November did I start moving closer and began to feel the intimacy. Then after some time I wanted to have His Darshan and tehn all of a sudden in April Swami was so grateful that He granted me Darshan. I have already shared that experience with this group . The point I'm trying to make is that pray with utmost sincerity to Swami and am sure He'll be by your side always. Forget about your wrong doings. To err is human but you have realized this and that's what is important. Has your mother not forgiven you?? We all say that Swami is equivalent to thousand Mothers, then how will He not forgive You?? Just pray to him sincerely. I have a suggestion, see if this works. Stand in front of Swami's photo, close your eyes and visualize Swami (in his physical form) right in front of you and give him your Namaskarams and take all your problems and leave it at His feet, apologize (sob your heart out, if you want to ) and ask him to guide you along and take His blessings. Do it with concentration and I think that should be the end of all your troubles. Swami will take it from there. Well, these are my personal views and request the group that has more devout people and to give you some of Swami's teachings that would help you now All our prayers are with you Jai Sairam Regards, Srini --------------- ramu gsv <ramu_gsv Wed Jun 9, 2004 0:02am SAIRAM: VENKAT: I PRAY BHAGAWAN SRI SATYA SAI SHOWER HIS GRACE ON YOU AND NORMALY BE RESTORED IN YOUR LIFE. MAY YOU ENJOY BLISS AND FEEL HIS PRESENCE AROUND YOU ALL THE TIME. --------------- "Neelam Chopra" <chopraneelam Wed Jun 9, 2004 0:48am Sairam, As you have said our Swami is always with us, I am sure and pray our Baba will surely show us the right path and the ever merciful bhagwan will guide us and take us away from all the blunders we have commited. Swami bless you and keep you away from troubles, our prayers are with you. We all atleast I can say I must have also done so much wrong knowingly and unknowingly in this life that only our Swami can lead us to the right path and forgive us for our mistakes. Take care and always rememeber our beloved swami at all times. Sairam --------------- Keshav Prasad <mykp30 Wed Jun 9, 2004 1:16am Sairam brother, Surrender, Surrender, Total Surrender to the Lord is required for all of us. Every one of us commit mistakes in our daily lives, only the degree varies. Since u hv confessed everything to Swami, Swami knows when and how to give the solution; Wait for that day but do not leave him. Cling to his feet always at all times. Never lose faith in Swami nor in anything. Our Prayers r for u. Keshav Prasad --------------- "Ramalingam Balaji" <rbalaji Wed Jun 9, 2004 1:36am Om Sri Sai Ram. ( I have sent a reply email to Bro Venkat - to his email id - with inspiring messages of Swamy and Vivekananda. I have also mentioned one leela of our dear Swamy, which I thought of sharing with you all. Hope all of you will take care to reply to Bro Venkat with words of courage, wisdom and inspiration). ............................................... Please forget the thought of committing suicide; Swamy knows all the happenings. Let me narrate one incident. Sri Srinivasan, all India Seva Dal President was planning to go to US on some official trip. He was waiting at Brindavan to inform Swamy and take His permission. Just a moment before he was about to leave, Swamy called him and told him on your return back from US, go to another "X" country and meet "Y" person. Mr. Srinivasan was waiting for any further instructions from Swamy about what he has to do with that person. But Swamy did not utter anything and left. Quite perturbed, Mr. Srinivasan left for US and after finishing his work there, called "Y" and said that he is coming to country "X" to meet him. Then after a flight travel of about 8 to 10 hours, Mr. Srinivasan landed at X around 2.30 AM. Mr Y received him at the airport in a Rolls Royce car and took him to his huge palatial mansion. Through out the drive to the home Mr Y did not speak to Mr Srinivasan a single word. On reaching home, Mr Srinivasan expected that Mr Y will leave him to his rest room for taking rest at that odd mid night hour and to discuss anything on the next morning. But, no ! Mr Y took Mr Srinivasan to the drawing room and had him sit before him and started asking Mr Srinivasan, "Why you have come to see me ? What message Swamy has sent through you?" and all sort of such queries. ( Mind you these were happening after 4 or 5 days after Mr Srinivasan was asked by Swamy to meet this man Y). Mr Srinivasan was replying that he did not know anything about their meeting and did not have any specific message from Swamy to Y, other than just to meet him. At this point, Mr Y took a pocket revolver from his socks and showed it towards Mr Srinivasan. Obviously Mr Srinivasan was taken aback at this unexpected gesture and before he could get any hint, was even more surprised to see the crying of Mr Y. He said that Mr Y was sobbing like a child before him and after regaining his cool, Mr Y said that on that very night he was preparing to commit suicide by shooting himself with that gun ! And said that Mr Srinivasan's visit to meet him is a sign from Swamy Himself to save his life and said that he will proceed to Parthi as soon as possible and fall at His Feet. (heard from an interview in Radio Sai) So Be sure ! Swamy not only knows our past and present; but also the future. Jai Sai Ram. Balaji Doha. --------------- "L.T. SALIAN" <ltsalian Wed Jun 9, 2004 3:29am Dear Venkat, To share a quote, which is quite relevant. PAST IS LIKE A CANCELLED CHEQUE. YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. FUTURE IS A PROMISSORY NOTE. YOU CAN'T RELY ON IT. TODAY IS READY CASH. USE IT WISELY. SAI RAM. =============== saibabanews, venkat ratnam <sairaja999> wrote: > dear all, > > SAIRAM to all of you. > > i am currently living in nigeria. i am in such a condition, that if i am alive today, it is all the grace of swami. I was working with an indian based trading firm. I was the complete incharge of the operations and administration here. I came here in Dec 2001. Over a period of time, i did some great blunders knowingly some and unknowingly some. Then i lost control of everything and landed up in a terrific problem with my chairman. .......................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
