DEVOTEE EXPERIENCE - Contributed by Geetha Reddy

Anant, Hyderabad

 

Sai Ram To All

 

I was suffering from deception, material losses,

betrayal and physical assault. The expected outcome

was depression, very high sugar levels and severe

diabetic condition with a reading of 460-75. I

suffered because that was karmic. My secretary even

presented me with Sai Satcharita - but my sanskaras

perhaps prevented me from reading it. But His grace

and blessings had to lead me to it. Finally when the

situation became desperate with court cases and police

stations, losing properties in the court and I was

left without even a house to stay in, I took shelter

in a government quarter.

 

Then one day a friend suggested that I visit the Sai

temple and read Satcharita. I read it in a saptaah.

Then I read it in one day. Then someone suggested I

read Gurucharita. I read that too. Each story and

chapter was a revealing lesson to me. I learnt a lot.

Meanwhile, my health improved.

 

Earlier I could not walk and found it very painful to

stand up after squatting for a while. I was detected

with cancer in both breasts. I did parikramas. The

next scan projected an arrest - status quo. My health

improved. My daughter secured a seat in medical

school. I received the promotion that was denied to me

for 23 years. One of my research articles caught the

attention of the Prime Minister’s staff and I received

appreciation.

 

Even now I get depressed because the forces that are

creating difficulties are so many, but I chant the

name of Sai - consciously and sub-consciously every

waking minute of the day. He has finally, after

testing me for years, willed so much progress in a

span of three years. He will right every wrong done to

me by fellow men and women. I have found the beauty of

his omnipresence even in China - when I wondered when

I can see a champa flower. When I returned - the first

Thursday after I returned, the priest at the temple

gave me a champa flower from His lotus feet. He is

there when I seek Him. Without Him I would have

perished.

 

My only worry - this morning in chapter 16 of Sri

Gurucharitra, I have read about the duties of a woman.

I see that only women have responsibilities and

duties. Men do not. No matter what husbands may do

wives must tolerate and have forbearance and patience.

I have been married for 24 years. From day one I was

exploited, abused, taunted, maligned, and beaten up. I

had to bring up my two children with little or no

support from my husband. He has neglected the children

too. I have never neglected my duties as a daughter in

law.

 

They were my responsibility and I served them with

pleasure. I cannot even repeat some of the things said

to me. I have paid up his debts. All this is possible

by Sai's Grace. But as a mortal I always craved for a

little concern - some affection - it has never come

through. I am working and therefore financially not on

the road. But in similar situations, women who are not

educated, not employed, have to find other ways.

 

Why should they not remarry so someone better can take

care of them? I know shaastras say something

different. They were written when the world was not so

materially oriented. Now everything is money based. So

employment is important. If the husband cannot support

should the wife commit suicide? What about the

children? I feel strongly that some system be evolved

to make life more secure for women and children and

old parents.

 

Some of my doubts and questions are answered soon and

some after a long time. But no query goes unanswered.

I am developing more and more faith in Baba. I am sure

He is The One!

 

Om Sri Sai Ram

Dear brother Swamiji,

 

Sai Ram!

 

spiritually there is only one Purusha in the world., we can choose

divine relation as our atma wants and it happens as written ..

 

Our Vedas does not differentiate that for men or women. However,

Our ancient ancestors separated this long time ago and even kept

Vedas away from women... maybe because of wars , invasions and focus

on family..etc

 

Buddha broke it by opening up the surrender for women and the doors

for Bikshuni's.

 

Baba knows when the human relationships which is anyway maya and not

permananent and needs to be broken and when prayed to HIM personally

will come to the rescue to the caller..

 

Our manu Shasstra's dictate the niyams of conduct for an orderly

society that can follow truth and dharma, but when there is adharmam

done in a marriage - maybe that union is to be broken and if they

have to marry agin to seek support from each other and follow life

continue following the path of dharma , is to be applicable to a

man, can be applied to the woman..

 

Women revere husbands to be their GODS, first their Father till

marriage, then their husband as the established margam long time

ago. Also when children are born, she becomes divine and has her

duty to make the young be able to stand on their own in the right

way ..

Any creature that gives birth ( animal, birds are human ), there is

a fierce protectiveness and strength given to the female to

protect , cherish and nurture the young ..

again this is the innate strength given to women by God to bringing

forth other jivatma's to the world..

 

Praying to Baba as Parashakthi helps .. He will give atma Gyananam..

 

Atma transcends gender, religion, caste , creed ..everything ..

 

 

But everything that is done for GOD and only GOD first becomes

sanctified... then all actions make sense .. those that does not

make sense will clear away the path sooner or later ..

 

God also plays the part of parama purusha for stranded widows,

single women, stranded ,abused women and also those that just call

him for the purity of love for HIM and do not consider any other

relationship meaningful.. ..

 

As she stated that real affection does not come through ..

Only permanent love and relationship is with GOD. To feel that one

should feel GOD is second to none..everything belongs to GOD..even

our actions .. but if we have not surrendered that to GOD, we write

our own fates with the actions .. as HE will leave it for free will

of mind..

Once you feel GOD's love, you will reflect on others without any

expectations .. as you are already saturating with the sweetness of

Divine Love.. there is not much pain in life afterwards and if it

is. .He has the salve to soothe it for you..

 

Christianity and buddhism created the ways for nuns , bikshuni's ..

Hinduism is not that formal ..

 

I did not have this devotees email, but if you feel my response is

appropriate .. and will be received well .. please forward..

 

i prefer not to communicate except through you, if possible..
