An experience I recently had with Baba.

[Guest guest]

Saurabhji,

Congrats on your new job. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Sai has his own time and plans to reach us we just need Shraddha and Sabhuri to wait for him to execute his plans on us.

May Sai always bless you and make you feel his presence.

3rd September 09

Jai Sai Ram

I wanted to share an experience with you all. This is the only way for me to express my gratefulness towards my Shri Guru, my Baba.. I am very happy today. It is Thursday today and Shri Ganesh festival’s last day for visarjan/nimarjan.

(I apologise if this is a bit lengthy but I couldn’t express it any other way) So, after I did my Certification for Financial Planning (here in Sydney), I was unable to get any job for a long time due to the Financial Crisis; I had strange things happen to me and somehow a few of my Sai devotee friends started to share some miracles of Shri Tirupati Balaji. I don’t know why I felt that maybe I should vow something to Balaji Maharaj so that I can get a good job. That night I opened a random chapter of Shri Sai Satcharita (as usual) and got Ch 26 which was about 2 Goa Gentlemen where one of them had vowed to God Datta that he would pay his first month’s salary if he got a job; and he got the job and consequent promotions as well but he forgot to fulfil his vow and Baba asked that first salary’s amount from him as dakshina. I vowed that I would also give my first week’s pay to Balaji Maharaj by keeping that money aside

and then donating it in the temple when I go to India. Within a short time I got a job in one of the biggest banks in Australia and I was ecstatic. I was in dire need of money and I spent the first week’s pay thinking that I will withdraw the first week salary’s amount from my account for when I go to India and then donate it (but I had vowed to keep it aside as soon as I get it). For the second week’s pay, I faxed the timesheet to payroll dept but they didn’t receive it for some reason so when they called me I tried to fax it again, but they still didn’t receive it; at last I scanned it and emailed it to them and they received it then but they told me that the cut-off time to pay for that week has passed and my second weeks’ pay will be given to me along with the third weeks’ pay. That night I realised that maybe this incident happened because I didn’t keep my vow of keeping first week’s pay aside for Shri Balaji and had spent it. My aunty here told me that Shri Balaji Maharaj is very powerful and he will be behind me until I do what I promised. So the following week when I received my 2nd and 3rd weeks’ pay together I took out the exact amount that I had received for my 1st week’s salary and kept it aside asking Shri Balaji to forgive me. 5

weeks later they ceased my employment giving me some positive & negative feedback. I was so depressed I cannot explain. I was shocked at why Baba did this. I always told him that it was as if he gave a crying kid some lollipop candy and as soon as the kid licked it Baba snatched it away from the kid.

After a few days I spoke with a friend that I had studied with and was surprised to know that he has already become a Financial Planner with this medium sized ‘X’ company. I wanted to be where he was. He arranged for an interview for me with his recruitment manager. I went for an interview on the 24th of August and it went well but still I was very nervous. On the 28th of August I went to ISCKON temple to celebrate Radha Aashtmi. I prayed to Shri Krishna and Radha Maa to ‘set’ (fix) my career and thanked them for their love. I wished for a fruit that was being thrown by the priest in the crowd – the 2nd apple that was thrown hit someone on my right hand side (when I thought, “this apple is also goneâ€L) and it hit someone then bounced back and landed straight on my left handv(Goodness! I felt immensely blessed!) On the 30th

of August I went to the Shri Venkateshwara temple (Shri Balaji) at Helensberg with my 1st week’s pay in the envelope and my uncle asked the priest to touch the envelope and return it back – then I wished for a flower – the priest touched the envelope to Shri Balaji Maharaj’s hands, legs and gave it back to me with some flowers that were near the legs J I asked for forgiveness and blessings of Shri Balaji that day and vowed to donate the first week’s salary (but not keep it aside) to the Tirupati Balaji temple for when I go to India.

Company ‘X’ had told me that they would call me before the close of business on the 4th of September; today is the 3rd of September , Thursday and I was waiting for their call all day long. At around 5.30 pm I told my housemate, “Kya yaar, kitni hope liye aaj soch rahatha ke aaj job ka call aajayega pur nahi aya (With immense hope I was expecting a call for that job today but it hasn’t come yet)†– then exactly when I finished saying that sentence my phone rang and they told me that I got the job. I went to the Sai temple at evening and my heart couldn’t express the gratefulness. My dad called me later to tell me that he prayed to Baba today that he is coming to Shirdi on the 7th of September to ask Baba to give me a good job – then I told him that I got it already and he was ecstatic.

I later realised that what happened was for my good, I just needed to have some patience. BABA KNEW EVERYTHING> Working for that big bank would have probably made me a Financial Planner in 3-4 years time because of the way the career progression is rigidly structured there – I think I mainly liked more the idea of working for such a huge bank than the actual role itself; also I found that one learns a lot by working with small and mid-sized companies because of ‘process-work’ type nature of some big companies which gives limited exposure to learn. With this company ‘X’ I can become a Financial Planner in 1-1.5 year’s time, Baba willing. BABA knows exactly what is best for us. Ive realised that Shraddha (Faith) and Saburi (Patience) maybe difficult to follow sometimes, mainly Saburi, but when followed, God (Baba) will happily fulfil his side of the promise.

May Baba bless all.

Om Sairam everyone

When we talk or read about Baba's Leelas from everywhere around the world, it gives devotees such wonderful goosebumps. I am from South Africa and have experieced Babas leelas many years ago but recently an amazing miracle happened. My friend's daughter came of agew and they had a coming opf age prayer at their home. My family and I attended the prayer and my wife part took of some rituals. They gave little gifts to the ladies as tokens of appreciation for their offerings. My wife was fortunate enough to have received a little key ring type Ganesha on a sloid perspex frame. My daughters took the Ganesha and placed it in our Shrine at home. The next morning we noticed that the Ganesha frame has whitish vibutthi on it. On some sweets that were left for Baba by a Muslim devotee, here was brownish Udhi. Baba knows His devotees and comes to us no matter where in the world we may be.

Jai Shri Sainath Maharaj Ki Jai

Anesh
