Sai's Sudha (May 1984)-R. Anand

Sai's Sudha (May 1984)

 

I started belief in. Sai Baba from the year 1972. Since then .I rely on Him

and accept his advice in my day to day life. My father Shri T. A. Ram Nathen

also follows his footsteps sincerely.

 

My wife Mrs. Lalitha Anand conceived our second baby in the month of

April'84. As she had no responsible family member to take care of her

delivery, I took charge of the total responsibility.

On hearing from my father, Dr. Vijaykumar of Karnataka, who is also a close

devotee of Sai Baba, I felt that I may pass through some problem due to

callous treatment of doctors in Calcutta hospitals. I replied back to him,

saying that Sai Baba is always everywhere. He will never allow his devotee

to get drowned; but instead he will save him at the final hour.

I admitted my wife in "Lake View Nursing Home" under Dr Thampi's supervision

on 3rd February 1984. Luckily the owner of the nursing home was also a

Baba's devotee. Dr. Thampi too believed in Sai Baba right from her 29th year

of age. Sai has even directed some of the patients through dreams to Dr.

Thampi. I was relieved very much with the Sai relations and felt that the

delivery will be most normal.

 

Dr. Thampi started administering Saline water right from 9-15 A.M. as my

wife had no labour pains till I admitted her in the nursing home. At 3 P.M.

on 3rd February' 84 she slowly felt the pains and around 4 P.M. the pain

became severe. I was waiting outside the lobby for hours together and felt

restless and returned back home at Wederburn road with my Sai daughter Sai

Deepa. I switched on our lamp kept above the photo of Sai Baba and lit

sandal wood sticks,, with sincere prayers to Him to release the baby at the

earliest. It was 4.15 P.M. when I was requesting at our prayer room.

Lo ! Sai Baba answered my prayer immediately as my wife delivered a female

baby exactly at 4-15 P.M'.'the time of my prayer. The star was Avittam and

Lagnam Kiimbha. I profusely thanked the almighty for answering our prayers.

My Father had a sigh of relief on hearing the news and also thanked Sai in

answering his 6 week old prayer to him.

 

Now the naming problem arose as we were not ready with suitable names Myself

suggested to my father that '-Sai Sudha" would be apt, which was immediately

accepted. My mother Mrs. Vijyem Ram Nathen and younger sister Miss. T.R

Geeta also were finalising the same name **Sai Sudha" at Budge Budge 18 Kms

away from our Calcutta residence.

I am very much indebted to Lord Sai for blessing our family with Sai Dee pa

and Sai Sudha both in auspicious time.
