Prasanthi Update

OM SAI RAM

Thank u very much Mr. Kumar Mahadevan, for this wonderful PRASANTHI UPDATE. I am a SAI devotee from the year 2002. I have never been to PRASANTHI NILAYAM and had BABA's darshan personally over there, but i have always been blessed and most of the times being guided by BABA himself.. Whenever i had a bit of confusion or doubt in taking any major decisions of my life, BABA appeared in front of me and gave me a positive signal in taking the decisions which includes even my marriage.

I lost my lovely and caring mother Mrs. Lalita Raman, in May2002. I was continuously praying for my mother's health. One of my known family friend were devotees of BABA and they had kept BABA's photo with padukas in their house. They conduct bhajans every monday regularly in their house. In short their house was like a holy place where BABA atleast i felt was residing. Every time when i went to their house and i prayed for my mother i was given an assurance by someone in their house to have faith in BABA and my mother will become alright. But on May12th 2002 early morning 4.45am my mother breathed her last. Since she was a very kind hearted and divine person, the clouds were crying its true in the month of may full summer rains poured for few minutes as soon as my mother breathed her last. Everyone around us told its a sign of an PUNYAATMA's death.On the 8th day from my

mother's death the same friend called me and informed that prior to 2days of my mother's death BABA had appeared and told in his ears that my mother is with him he will take care of her. This words conveyed by my friend to me really had touched me so much i cried and even today when i see BABA's photo i can see my mother in it and vice versa.

I was totally shattered and felt that this is the end of my life. My father and my sisters were very much worried about me. They thought of getting me married, but i argued with my father telling that when amma is only not there with me then what is the use in getting married, i requested my father to live me in PUTTAPARTHI and i wished to live the balance of my life over there in PARTHI doing my kind services to people = GOD. My father was bounded with his responsibility and so he went ahead in looking out for a good proposal for me. Today i am married i have completed 6yrs of my marriage with one SON SARVESH.

A day before my engagement i was very tensed whether i have chosen a good boy whether my decision to get married in this house is right or wrong, then suddenly that night itself BABA came in walking through our house giving vibhuti to everybody i was stunned to see him, he called me offered me vibhuti and said everything that's happenning is good nothing to worry. I saw BABA replying my worries in my dream and next day i confidently without any doubt in my mind got engaged happily. From the day of MOTHER's death till today BABA has been around me. Where ever i go i get BABA's darshan unexpectedly. There are many instances where a person could not imagine or expect BABA to be there, but atleast a photo or something which shows BABA's presence has been experienced by me.

Presently i am in KINSHASA - CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC. I am conducting A DIVINITY CLASS over here for children from age group of 5 to 12 teaching sanskrit shlokas, namasmarnam, meditation. I know SAI BHAJANS which i sing alongwith my son and husband every thursday in my house concluding with sai aarti.

There is no particular SAI ORGANISATION around here which disappoints me. I wish if u people could do for people in KINSHASA who are SAI DEVOTEES but have no regular activity like regular SAI BHAJAN in a week, SAI ANNADHAANAM etc. to be done together.

Y'day only i joined the SAINEWS GROUP and felt immense happiness in receiving so many mails related to BABA.

With a wish to pray BABA to be always with us OM SAI RAM - Suchitra Venkatesh.
