Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 my father passed away recently in india on 12th may after illness for about 2months. he died peacefully at the residence after cardiac arrest. i had to rush to madras from botswana southern africa. how i reached madras is a miracle. the call came to me at 11.30 a.m that is 2.30 p.m ist when my father passed away at 2pm . i tried all the airlines the flights have all left and there was one flight that was available by emirates at 7.15 p.m and the airlines confirmed to me that seats are full. i only prayed to swami that i must see my father before the body is taken . incidently the body will cremated the same day in india in hindu custom. i got in touch with my elder brother and told him somehow iwll reach. i have got a call from emirated at 4p.m that there is one seat availalble and dbai to madrasare full and i must go check there. the flight from botswana is at 5 p.m and some how i rush to the airport and get a seat i n gaborone to johanessburg and got mybookng confirmed and reach dubai early morning 5.30 a.m and there was a flight to madras at 6.45 a.m which i could not get it and went via mumbai to madras late in the night .all that i pray to swami was that i want to see my father and do all the duties to him . the filight by jet airways to madras was at 7.30 p.m in the night and i rushed from international airport to internal airport and manage to reach exactly at 7.20 p.m with all the rush in mumbai traffic and showed the boarding card and requested them to help me.the authorities informed that boarding is all over but a good samaritan helped me and i reached late in the night to madras and to my surprise my father body was kept since the priest told my elder brother , that they will wait for me. the priest told him that if your brother happens to be a elsest son . then the whole proceeding will wait like that we will wait. the priest further said somehow the god wish is that he must come. in my familly iam only the person a devotee of sai, and i could believe and have faith in Swami, that he wants my wish to fulfill, and made me me to fulfil the duties to my father.. the second miracle is that, while we were taking the body to the crematorium, i prayed to Swami that he must bless my father soul, although we believe in his discourse that no attachement to the body,the atma is the one eternal and pure and weep only on the body. Swami as a permanent father,guru,and as a divine blessed my father in the burial ground,with two hands. we used to go around the body three times for the last respect and every round , there was a milk with rice. honey in his two hands, and chandan on his head and curd on his chest.this was witnessed by all of us, but i knew it is a swamis miracle.everybody said he is a blessed soul. this is what is OUR BHAGWAN .HE IS OMNIPRESENT .,OMNIPOTENT GOD, AND ALWAYS SAI HE IS AVAILABLE 24 HOURS A DAY TO ALL HIS DEVOTEES.HE KNOWS WHAT TO GIVE AND WHEN.HE KNOWS WHAT IS GOOD FOR US.WHAT IS REQUIRED IS SINCERE PRAYER TO HIM , DO SURRENDETR TO HIM ,DO SEVA .THESE ARE THE MEDICINES THAT HE HAS GIVEN TO US. HE WILL BE OUR GUIDER MENTOR ALWAYS.SAIRAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
