SAI LEELA

This is my most humble

attempt to put forth my miraculous experiences ever since I have become Sai

devotee, say about four years back. Before I go-ahead, let me write that I have

started this article without any pre-planning and believe it or not, after

returning home from five days' stay at Shirdi last week, today I sat on my

typewriter after doing my usual pooja and praying fervently to 'Shree Sai baba' to inspire me to write 'Sai Leela'. I am not a writer

by any chance nor have I ever attempted writing before in .my life and it is

only 'Saibaba's Leela, that

I have managed to complete this first introductory paragraph.

Till 1978, I was not aware of

Baba's supernatural powers and only after I had resigned from my job in a

private concern, I realised my grave mistake and in

utter frustration I sought refuge in Sai. Since then, I had to undergo

tremendous upheavals and overcome several obstructions which came in my way to

ultimately secure a good job. But here I must mention that, it was only Sainath who saw me through all my worst days, which, lasted

for nearly two to three years. Then, I was staying in a working ladies' hostel

where as soon as the hostel management came to know that a particular resident was jobless, immediate notice

was issued to her to vacate the hostel as there would be a long waiting list of

new girls trying to seek admission. Out of this fear of losing accommodation (I

being parentless and homeless) which was the only shelter and protection during

my unemployment, I used to set out during usual office hours after having

lunch, to spend time in far distant temples praying to God to employ me in some

office and then return only in the evenings. If I remember those days now, I am

most grateful and thankful to Sairam that it was only

He who protected me all the time, because all my friends were working girls and

there was no chance for me to confide in anyone to ask for their company lest I

had to lose my seat in the hostel. Besides, all my relatives were in Bombay and I did not wish to bother them with my

problems and burden them unnecessarily. In later days, as this feeling of guilt

of cheating the hostel management became unbearable, by Saibaba's

guidance I finally confided in one of my social worker friends, who was very

much moved to hear as to how I spent my day only to keep myself away from the

hostel. After that, she used to take me along with her during her visits to

slums and homes of her office workers, which helped me to pass away a few hours

of the day and also learn a lot from life. In addition to my physical and

mental deterioration, my financial condition also was going from bad to worse

and when the time came for my bank balance to become nil, I prayed sincerely to Baba to come to my

rescue. And one day, while I was scanning through the classified advertisements

of daily newspaper, my eyes fell on a small advertisement which offered

attractive income in cash with little effort and within a short period of time.

This scheme was sponsored by ,a Pune

office itself and that too in the name of 'Saibaba'.

Well, immediately I wrote to them and started with this scheme as soon as I

received a beautiful sticker of Baba accompanied by a prescribed form for which

I had to collect only three members and Rs, 2'- form

each member. The main reason for mentioning this scheme here is that, on days

when I used to have only a few paise left in my

purse, my hostel warden would hand over the money received by M. O. of this

scheme when I returned in the evening, thereby driving off my worry for the

next day's expenses. Besides this, Baba had also guided me to approach the

right persons for advice, financial help, applications for service etc. and

this guidance had never failed-me. Now, it is only by His grace that I am in a

better position in all respects so much so that I not only have a good service

but have also purchased a new typewriter for which I had no difficulty in

getting a loan from Bank.

(to be contd….)
