Guest guest Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Dear All - Sai Ram, My humble pranam at the lotus feet of our beloved Sai mother. Dear fellow devotees, I wish to share my very recent experience I had with our beloved Sai mother, our only refuge, who has been incessantly loving us and taking care of our needs and nurturing us as her own children. I had sent my family back home previous year owing to the sudden increase in the cost of living in Doha. My prayers to Swami yielded good result and in a couple of months I could get my family back here in Doha. A couple of months back the landlord of our building through his manager gave us verbal notice to vacate the flat within a month’s period. The reason ascertained was to comply with the local administrations requirement of demolishing the old buildings and construct new ones. My search for an affordable & good flat was painful and yielded no favourable results, rather it started mounting tension. Together, we fellow tenants approached the manager of the property and requested him to talk to the landlord and allow us to continue with some affordable rise in the rent. The landlord did not budge at all rather through his manager took our signatures for vacating the flat before 31st January 2005. With every single day passing, the time was running out for me, my tireless search for an accommodation was failing for one reason or the other which were purely beyond my control. The rents asked by various landlords for a two room flat were by no means close to what I could spare from my earnings. Out of frustration and the immediate requirement I decided to spare 3000QAR for the rent. I knew sparing this amount from my limited income would be very difficult and pressurising. Incidentally I came very close to firm up the deal. The rent was settled at 3000 QAR for a two room flat. Here again the fate had something else in store for me. By the time I could rush to him with the post dated cheques another person had already sealed the deal. I lost this flat by a couple of hours. I was frustrated like anything, another failure that too when I was ready to spare more than what I can truly do. 31st January 2005 was approaching fast. I was totally helpless not knowing what to do. I had no recourse but to pray to our beloved Sai mother. I cried and cried in front of my Sai mothers’ photo for how long I don’t know. Exactly after 2 hours my telephone rang. There was a surprise for me. This call was from the landlord whom I had not seen/talk before. Every year we were signing contracts and paying rents through his manager. The landlord told me very politely and patiently that he knew my problems and sympathised with my situation. The best he could do at this point in time is to allow me to stay till 31st March 2005. He asked me to visit him and pay the rent for the balance period. He also cautioned me not to indicate this to other fellow tenants since he wanted to help me alone. Was it not my Swami’s miracle? Is it not His divine grace, less than a week to 31st Jan 2005, the D-date and no-where to go? This was my Sai mothers’ sweet miracle, a healing touch, many-many thousands of miles away from His physical form (in Puthaparthi). I felt very happy (and relaxed) that my Sai mother has given me the grace period of another two months enough time for me to once again look afresh. At least my kids could study and appear for their final exams peacefully. This was not the end of my divine mother’s grace. She had something else in her mind. My divine mother did not want me to put money into my housing rent assistance (HRA) given to me by my employer and arranged for an accommodation through a fellow Sai devotee who is moving to the company accommodation. At one time I had prepared myself to spare 3000QAR for the rent and still failed to seal the deal. Such is the divine grace of my beloved Sai mother. Dear fellow devotees, the greatest lesson I have learnt in the whole episode is not to look for assistance outside but to pray within with pure BHAVA to our divine mother who is physically present in this world and is carrying our load since time immemorial. May my divine mother bless us all. color:navy"> color:navy"> Love All – Serve All color:black">Ravindra Yemula 12.0pt;color:black">Doha, Qatar font-family:Arial;color:black">. 10.0pt;font-family:Arial"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Sairam Ravi brother. You are right brother. Swami's blessings is showered on all of us. By our ignorance we feel such miracles of Swami as a coincidence or results of our efforts. But my feelings, we cant breath if Swami dont desire. Everything is happening to us the SAI followers due to HIS grace. We shouldnt boast ourselves being a capable man of solving our problems. There is no end of Swami's abundant love for us...

Govinda Vithala Gopala Vithala Jai parthi vithala Jai SAI vithala Madhava Govinda Govinda Madhava naam gaate chalo....

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Sai Ram Ravi, A wonderful article to read. I am sure you must be pretty relieved after that phone call. Thank Swami for the last minute help granted which seemed impossible at one point in time. Yes, Swami always helps us if we put in 100% faith and fully rely on him.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 What a beautiful story. I am happy for you brother. Our baba will never leave us, ever. Although we all might go through some tough times, some more difficult then the other, our baba in due time will answer our prayers. I can feel the sign of relief and joy in your email, esp when you had written about how you cried in front of baba's picuture. We all have gone through those painful times, and at baba's will he will answer our prayers. I am so glad that he has answered yours. Continue to have a wonderful day and keep believing. Sairam Thiroshan When suffering comes in waves, one behind another, be glad that the shore is near(Baba) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 It is indeed a touching experience with our beloved Baghwan. But I am also anxious to know about your neighbors/fellow tenants, situation. Are they ok? I feel they were in the same boat, and I pray to Swami that they get his divine blessings, which ever caste or creed they belong to.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Dear Brother, Its really heartening to listen to your sweet experience. Everyone of us that our Beloved Swami is with us all the time and incidents such as this just go on to reinforce our belief in Swami who says constantly "that come what may, you may forget me but under no circumstances will I ever forget you."
