My Divine Experiences of Sri Sathya Sai - Sarvantharayami!!

[Guest guest]

Om Sai Ram.

A brief introduction about myself:

My name is Murali Krishnamurthy. Born and raised in Chennai(Madras).

I am a software engineer, an entrepreneur, working in the USA for

more than 11 years. I am married and blessed with a son.

 

It all started through a divine presence I believe, It must be

Bhagavan Sathya Sai Baba. I was in Albany, New York state for a while

during July 2003 before finally settled down in Maryland state in

USA. One day in the evening after work, i visited the Albany Hindu

temple. It was around 6:00PM. I was very hungry from 4:00PM onwards

and by the time i reached the temple it was 6pm. My friend drove me

to the temple, since i lived in Maryland with my family and left my

car here in Maryland. After darshan of all dieties and archana for

Lord Hanuman ( I am a staunch devotee of Ganesha and Hanuman), i was

sitting before the dieties thinking of my future, my family and the

hardships i am going through. The hunger became like a monster and

was eating my intestine. I started praying and said ' God, this is

your temple. I am starving'. And after 15 minutes we were ready to

leave. Then the gurukkal ( priest) called me and asked me to take

theertham ( holy water). I did. Then i turned and began to walk away.

Again the gurukal called me. I was surprised. I was thinking why he

needs to call me. Gurukkal called me back and gave me two bananas and

said 'Eat, you must be hungry'. I couldn't believe myself. God

listened to me. This might be a small incident, but somehow this led

me to Bhagvan Sai Baba and made me think that God is omnipresent,

omniscient and omnipotent.

 

Without anybody's interference I started reading more about Sai Baba

and once upon a time I was a non-believer myself. Then one day i

wrote a letter to Bhagvan Sai baba himself to Prasanthi Nilayam

explaining my concerns and hardships in life. He knows everything.

One of my friend who just returned from India, had visited Parthi. He

gave me a Photo of Bhagvan Sathya Sai baba and some vibuthi.

Currently nobody in my family believes in Baba. I am just developing

a deep devotion for Baba within myself and one day in the night

before going to bed I applied vibuthi on my forehead. Probably early

in the morning i had a dream.

 

The dream was:

I was carrying a pallaku(palanquin) of Perumal(Lord Vishnu) around

the temple premises like they do in a utsavam. Then ...

"Baba was on his usual darshan rounds. I was there in the darshan

line seated. He came near me and looked at me. I got up and he was

saying something and turned around. And the next moment I saw Baba

coming towards me ( as if he lost balance)his back facing me. He

bumped on my chest and i was perplexed. He turned around and looked

at me with a grace. Then the next moment I was sitting and feeding

yoghurt rice to baba and he was tasting it, with grace. Then with his

index and middle finger he firmly touched my wrist as if shaking my

hands and smiled at me." That was the end of the dream.

 

Other incidents:

1.I kept Baba's photo in the home temple altar. Other members had

objections since they dont believe in SS Baba, but they believe in

shirdi baba. But to my luck, I didn't have a photo of Shirdi Baba. I

was feeling sad. But for some reason, I went down to the basement of

my house and was doing something in my home office. Suddenly i looked

down and there was a card kind of thing, upside down. I took it in my

hand and it read' Sai Prasad' with some vibhuti. I turned it around

it was Shirdi Baba's photo. I was so happy. I never thought in all

the places it would be in that place. This is one incident. Now that

photo adorns the temple in my house.

 

2.One day i was driving to work in the morning around 7:45am. I was

chanting Sri Sathya Sai baba's name all the way from home ( I do this

regularly) . All of a sudden in the horizon i saw the sun blazing and

i looked straight into the sun, eventhough it was blinding. To my

knowledge I saw a OM symbol ( in sanskrit) within the sun itself. I

was blessed on that day.

 

3.Baba used to show me signs of grace using motor vehicles or

stickers carrying god's messages on cars etc. I was lamenting for for

being successful in business for a while. I was driving with my wife

and we stopped in a signal. There was a car in front of us and a

there was a sticker on the bumper which read' This is God,' I am not

yet done with you'. Who else would show these kind of things, except

for our Swami.

 

4. Giant grocery store trucks which carries a Big G on its side, is

the daily morning darshan of Swami himself in that form. While

driving if i pray and ask , that truck will appear from nowwhere and

assure me of Swami's grace and blessings. It might look awkward, but

this is not coincidence.

 

5. One day i was praying and my son came near me and i lifted him up.

I showed him the Shirdi Sai photo and asked him who was it. Prompt

came the reply from him 'OM'.

 

Like this lots of things happened which i need to remember now.

 

In my life i wanted to do seva to people in many ways. I have my own

IT consulting company, and success is showing up. I need to be

successful so that i can utilize my resources and finance to help

many people in India. Now i feel I should leave everything to Bhagvan

baba and carry on with my life. Hope he showers his love and shows me

the right path so that I can be of some use to fellow human beings.

Did Bhagvan Sri Sathya Sai Baba led me to himself? There is no doubt

about that. Swami has a purpose for everything. I wrote 2 to 3

letters to him directly explaining my situations and hardships. He

knows everything. Sarvantharayami!!

 

Om sai ram,

Sai Ram!

 

It was thrilling and touching. Most of us encounter

difficult situations in life and I have experienced

many similar incidents indicating Swamy's love and

atrention in ways unique to the party in question and

appropriate for the context. Be assured Sai Ram that

Swamy is ever watching us and is a silent witness and

listener in every conversation /e mail like this.

 

As regards our family not being involved/interested in

swamy, leave these to HIM again. In my life, excepting

myself, there was none in my entire large extended

family (my father, his brithers/sisters, my mom's

side, my sisters' siblings and spouse family) who were

intrested in Swamy over the last 17 years and now

every one is a devotee for some reson or other. His

ways are inscrutable and we may pray to HIM for

continuing Grace and Love. HE is our only refuge at

all times and our relationship with HIM is independent

of time, location and worldly relationships which are

conditional.
