DECIDED NOT IN HEAVEN

Baba said, "I told him not to worry about this as the bridegroom himself would

come seeking her" in Sri Sai Satcharitra, Ch. XLVII.

Ms. Rekha Raju Whabi, Jeeth Bungalow, Tara Road, Juhu, Mumbai, had just written

her B.A. examination in 1980, was unmarried, and was uncertain of her future.

Five years back, her father had died. Her mother, elder brother and married

sisters were trying to settle her in marriage. Their choice was not to her

liking. She had become devoted to Sai Baba, would pray to Him every day, "Baba,

do whatever is good for me."

One night she dreamt that she had visited temples and holy places she had not

seen in real life. She experienced these dreams several times. After a few

days, out of boredom, she felt like visiting one of her friend’s house. When

she went there, her friend told her that her foster brother is arriving from

Dubai and that they were arranging for interviews for his marriage. Her friend

was a Sindhi Bhatia, and Ms Rekha was a Maratha. Just as they were talking, the

door bell rang and in stepped the young man at whose very first sight Ms Rekha

liked him. Her friend introduced them both and after some time, the young man

gave Prasad to Ms. Rekha which he said was from Badrinath and Kedarnath, the

places he had visited before coming here. As he gave the Prasad, she saw a ring

on his finger with Sai Baba’s picture.

But Ms. Rekha felt that her people and her friend’s people would not agree to

the match because of the caste differences.

Two days later, her friend came to her house and told her that her foster

brother wishes to marry her and whether she would agree. When they met again,

Ms Rekha told him of her dreams about the temples, describing their features.

He said that her description were of Badrinath and Kedarnath temples! The two

families were not in favour of the marriage, but the two had faith in Sai Baba

and in themselves. They got married, and they are happy today. She even has a

plan to construct a Sai Baba temple in Versova.
