Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 On 4-2-86 I performed Abhisekham and Satyanarayana Pooja, which were my long cherished desires. I entered in the appartments set apart for devotees at 4 a.m. and remained there till 7 a.m. to receive tickets for Abhisekam and Satyanarayana Pooja. Here also, Sai showered His Grace on me, since I could get tickets easily and early and I could complete Abhisekam by 7-3U a.m. and Satyanarayana Pooja at 10-30 a.m. During my stay in the compartment, Sai-brother, Sri D.L. Kantha Rao rendered a lot of service to me by providing me with tea and a plate containing Pooja articles, as my brother who accompanied me from Ongole, had already left the place. Really I do not find words to express my deep sense of gratitude to this Sai devotee and I prostrate at the lotus feet of Shri Sai Baba, who rendered timely help to me at every stage, through His devotee, Sri D.L. Kantha Rao. Sri Sai Baba also blessed me and His devotees coming from far off places and out of States, by directing the Central Railway authorities, Bombay to open a Railway Booking Out-Agency at Shirdi, attached to Manmad Railway station, as regular visitors and devotees from far of places can purchase tickets with berths at Shirdi itself and reach their destinations safe. I purchased a ticket with berth at Shirdi booking office on 3-2-86 which was the only ticket left in that day's quota of 4. Here also I got the lower berth by Baba's grace and reached my place safe on 7-2-86, having spent two days at Hyderabad on personalwork. Thus, it can be seen that Shri Sai Baba draws His devotees to Him — let them be miles away from Him like a sparrow with a thread tied to its feet. The only requisites to obtain His Grace are faith and patience ftgl 3lk ^$ coupled with unflinching devotion and unwavering mind on the part of the devotees. Baba assured hHs devotees 'If you look up to me, I will look after you' This assurance resembles the one given by Lord Krishna in Gita, We must surrender at the lotus feet of Shri Sai Baba-heart and soul and Sri Sai Ram extends His helping hand to us and relieves us from all our sufferings and sorrows, confronting us in our day-to-day life and in our mundane existence as was proclaimed by Bhagavan Rama Be ever in Shirdi Sai Be thus in Sai joy Wealth gives worry Sai gives safety V.C Subba Rao, Vidya Bhaskara Advocate & Covt.
