Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 SHREE SAI KRIPA (December 1983) I am a devotee of Shri Sai Baba since 1947. When I was a boy of 13 yrs, I was a frequent visitor to Shri Sai Baba temple at Nellore. While working in Government service I used to frequently visit Shri Sai Baba temples at Guntur, Kurnool and Nellore. Later I happened to visit Shirdi Sai Baba temple at Mylapore in Madras. During all these years till 1981 I had an ardent desire to visit ‘Shirdi’ and worship Shri Sai Baba there. It did not however materialize till 1982. A friend of mine, Shri K. Subba Rao, Hyderabad Government Press employee and an ardent devotee of Shri Sai Baba at Hyderabad was responsible to advise me and he insisted that I must go to Shirdi and worship Shri Sai Baba. I therefore had the good fortune to visit Shirdi for the first time on 12-8-82. The second occasion I had visited Shirdi and worshipped Shri Sai Baba by His divine grace was on 30-9-82 when Arathi was going on in Mahasamadhi Mandir to Shri Sai Baba at (12.00 Noon). All the land at Shirdi had become most holy to Sai devotees because His divine feet have touched that land and one can feel the presence of Shri Sai Baba at Shirdi at every step and every moment. We need to ask or pray Him for any worldly things as they will automatically come to us. Shri Sai Baba gives to His sincere devotees every thing which He thinks right and also at the right time. My daily prayer to Shri Sai Baba now-a-days is “Look at me ! Think of me ! Touch me ! Make me fit ! Ripen me ! Thou be ever my mater (Guru )! Govern me O ! Sai Baba !” When I prayed like this atthe Mahasamadhi Mandir on 12-8-82 as well as on 30-9-82 at Shirdi ‘tears’ flowed from my eyes and I prayed, “Lord Sainath, O! Lord, bear with me and sustain me!” I have been ever cheerful due to His blessings and divine grace only and have been facing all the mundane challenges in my life with courage and faith. Blessed is Shirdi as its land has been lucky and meritorious being consecrated by Shri Sai Baba, a precious jewel and a diamond, as observed by His other contemporary saints, who had seen Him. Shri Sai Baba never prescribed any regulations and any mantras. He always advocated us to always remember ‘Sai, Sai’. If anybody does repeat it, his shackles will be removed and he will be free. This can be followed by any Sai devotee very easily ! M. Narasimha Rao, Hyderabad – 500 020 (A.P).
