Guest guest Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Sairam, Happy BABA's day to you all. May grace of BABA shine upon one and all. May all our obstacles be removed. Often circumstances make us perturbed and we loose faith in god and in ourselves. We keep questioning our devotion and presence of God. Such situations are created only to test our faith. All we have to do in such situations is to rememeber HIM and HIS promises. He will come to our rescue come whatever may. Here is BABA's once such promise to Balasaheb Mirikar.. "Balasaheb Mirikar Balasaheb Mirikar, son of Sirdar Kakasaheb Mirikar was Mamlatdar of Kopergaon. He was going on tour to Chitali. On the way he came to Shirdi to see Sai Baba. When he went to the Masjid and prostrated himself before Baba, usual conversation regarding health and other matters commenced, when Baba sounded a note of warning as follows:-"Do you know our Dwarakamayi?" As Balasaheb did not understand he kept quiet, Baba continued - "This is our Dwarakamayi, where you are sitting. She wards off all dangers and anxieties of the children, who sit on her lap. This Masjidmayi (its presiding Deity) is very merciful, she is the mother of the simple devotees, whom she will save in calamities. Once a person sits on her lap, all his troubles are over. He, who rests in her shade, gets Bliss". Then Baba gave him Udi, and placed His protecting hand on his head. When Balasaheb was about to depart, He again said- "Do you know the "Lamba Bava" (long gentleman), Viz. serpent?" And then closing the left arm like fist He brought it near the right elbow, and moving His left arm like the hood of a serpent, He said- "He is so terrible, but what can he do to the children of Dwarakamayi: When the Dwarakamayi (its presiding deity) protects, what can the serpent do?" Chapter 22 Satcharita BABA bless us so that we may always have our faith in you and love you.
