Baba gives darshan in HongKong Train

[Guest guest]

Sai ram brothers and sisters

 

I firstly bow humbly at the feet of our precious and dearest lord .I thank baba

for keeping  me constantly in touch with sai baba groups emails  and reading

everyones incidents .with the spiritual touchings and 'gnyana' that he gives to

his devotees constantly and directly -we are really lucky enough to realise and

feel & see through that he is omnipresent and he is within us , around us ,

behind us and ahead of us where we go .

 

Let me now narrate a series of incidents that have happened to me during the

last week

and I can never forget this trip to HongKong ever again .I would love to savour

the memories forever in my heart.

I was about to start to my official trip on 29th early hrs to HongKong (first

time)via mumbai

and i was pretty nervous  &

worrying to baba about my hotel location near a funeral home and how am going

to stay all alone .I took the ganesh idol , baba's photos,satcharita ,

and several photos ! in my handbag .the day before i was leaving i got a mail

from 'heart to heart team' sathya sai's group mails ;and would you believe what

the starting message was

 

How can we practice to see God's hand every where at all times? Swami

teaches us kindly with a beautiful example today.

 

'Wherever you go, whether it is America, Japan, Germany, Pakistan or India,

there is only one Sun that illuminates the entire world. If it is daytime for us

now, it will be night in America. Does that mean that there is no Sun in

America? No. The Sun is here, there and everywhere, illuminating the entire

world. Since the Earth rotates round the Sun, it is night in America when it is

day in India. Similarly, God is everywhere; He is omnipresent. He is immanent in

us. We should always develop a feeling that God is with us, in us, above us and

below us. One should develop such firm faith. Then, one can see Him at any place

of one's choice'

-Divine Discourse, Aug 6, 2008.

 

I thanked baba that he heard my heart and he was indicating directly to me ..am

sure because no one else would understand why that message came that date

only..till now baba never took any countries names !

 

So with a  brave heart started my journey .

 

29th Mar 2009

I reached HongKong at 8.55 hrs and reached my hotel room. i arranged first all

the baba photos and the ganesh idol it was a sunday so i could relax and also

say my prayers.

 

 

I read Satcharita as soon as i reached the hotel room and to reconfirm the

email message to my shock i opened the page and the content on it was page 85 ;

the first para that has the content on Mr Jog.baba meant to say

" If you spread your palms with devotion before me,i am immediately with you ,day

and night.Though am here physically i still know what you do beyond the seven

seas .Go wherever u wish ,over the wide world ,I am with you.My abode is in your

heart and i am within you.Always worship me , who is seated in your heart as

well in the hearts of all beings.Blessed and fortunate indeed is he ,who knows

me thus "

 

i was thrilled reading this para and got a strong indication already that baba

will take care of me throughout this trip and new place.

 

Evening i chanted 108 names and did my prayers.(Baba would be thinking and

laughing she doesnt do prayers in India but in HongKong hmmmmm....)

 

day 1 night: I was scared to the core ....i couldnt sleep in the dark

i could hear constantly baba;s voice inside me saying ' dear child nothing can

come upon you until i will it.No one can cause harm to anyone unless i will

it.dont worry these evil spirits cannot even touch you.they all are under my

control.all good and bad are all under my control

you should leave all your worries and sleep..but still i applied vibhuti

and then reduced the aircon since it was making me shiver all the more

and finally due to baba's constant cajoling i slept off till i got up

at 6am HK Time .( which is 3.30 am india time)i had a nice bath and did 108

names chanting again.

 

30th March 2009

that day i was surprised to see a note from heart to heart again relevant

to my actions.

 

Why are there multiple types of people, each exhibiting different

characteristics? How can we stay focused despite the distractions? Swami

explains very clearly to us today

Sai Inspires - 30th March 2009

 

 

To cultivate devotion to God, always endeavor to mix with good persons, engage

yourselves in chanting the Names of the Lord, and be thrilled with the joy that

wells up in you. Why do you waste time or even pollute it by talking ill of

others? The eye, the hands, the nose, the head, the stomach, etc. each look

different. Each does one special task, and has a different name and function.

But they subserve the interest of one body to which they belong; they do not

work at cross-purposes, do they? So too, each of you is a limb in the body

called society. Do your work without a murmur, work in co-operation with all.

Then the society will be healthy and happy. Love, Love alone can bind you to

others and to God. God is the very embodiment of Love.

- Divine Discourse, Jan 28, 1975.

 

 

So the lord was kind enough to give me advice that i should concentrate on my

work that i have come to do .and also keep chanting the names of the lord.now

isnt it so kind of him to communicate likewise?

 

that night again i slept after lot of cajoling from baba .i was shivering due to

the aircon but it was better my confidence was slowly getting restored due to

baba's presence in the room and constantly talking to me in my heart. i slept

off and got up again at 6.30 am

 

31st march -day went off well and so did the night.But one thing happened

differently.suddenly while i was working at office i was instructed to go on 1st

apr instead of my earlier booking 2nd april.. i asked myself what is this? Why

am i feeling like going a day earlier.i was feeling sad that am unable to do

pooja for my baba's statue and also missing home.at the same time i was thinking

should i just stay one more day and do shopping..let me check with my

sponsorer.if she says the workshop will get over faster i can take a 7.15 pm

flight back on Wed to be in india by Thursday!

 

i coordinated suddenly with my travel agent and he replied yes the tickets are

available for 1st april and you can proced taking all approvals

i found my boss was online and took his immediate approval and Lo ! within a few

hrs my return was pre poned by a day. I saved money for company and also i was

saved of loneliness cause all my colleagues were returning to their countries on

1st april itself,I would have been the only one

 

1st Apr- Train incident

we finished the session a few hrs earlier and my bus to airport at 4.20pm from

hotel . So if i had to do shopping i had to really rush and finish and reach

hotel by 4.00 pm at least.i accompanied my friend to a very very posh mall . i

felt it was very expensive so i took the guidenace of the mall staff to let me

know of a cheap market .they told me the ladies market is good ,its at MongKok

area.so i decided to take a train since i had not exchanged enough HK Dollars i

had to change 2 trains as per the train route map .So with some broken english

passer by's help i could sail through to the first route.the second route also i

took with a strangers help and reached the market.after shopping for half an hr

it was getting late.so i decided to take a taxi to the hotel to save time.

but to my dismay i checked my purse only 130 HKD were left after shopping!

and when i got into the taxi the taxi driver told me it will cost 180 HKD to

the hotel ! in some broken english and chinese he dropped me to the nearest

subway station ! thank Baba! he saved my money and also guided the driver !

after i went to the station -now i have to take the first route 2 stations ahead

and then change train to the hotel destintation ie two lines

 

i kept checking with passer by's on which destination to take for my hotel

(luckily i had my hotel card with chinese address also printed on it along with

english) but no one could help me really.so i went to the train boldly and

checked the route.suddenly i thought of asking one lady who was silently

standing in pink top and grey skirt .whether this train goes to 'admiralty' in

english.i was thinking she wont know. but to my surprise she spoke very very

fluent english just like a singaporean not like HongKong! she said am going to

admiralty i can show you to get down and catch the right train! again i was

thrilled and we boarded the train

during the 2 stations she checked iwth me all my travel details

where am from , what i came here for ? etc. and then she suddenly told that she

will check for me with the hotel where to get down and which exit to tke so that

i can reach for the bus within time since it was already 3.30 pm in the train!

 

NOW THIS IS A MIRACLE THAT HAPPENED TO ME ONCE A LIFETIME BABA SHOWS HIS REAL

PRESENCE BUT I DIDNT REALISE IT ! ONLY BABA CAN DO THIS >> IN A NEW COUNTRY THAT

TOO IN A TRAIN WILL A STRANGER EVER USE HER MOBILE AND BE SO HELPFUL

SHE WAS SO KIND LIKE A BABA DEVOTEE ! I THANKED HER TWO TO THREE TIMES AND ALSO

TOLD HER SHE WAS SPEAKING SO NICELY IN ENGLISH AND I WAS LUCKY TO MEET HER.SHE

ALSO TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TAKEN THE TICKET ONE STATION BEFORE.ACTUALLY THE HOTEL

STATION IS ANOTHER BUT I SHOULD SPEAK TO THE STATION TICKET COLLECTOR AND THEY

WILL CHARGE EXTRA .NOT TO WORRY YOU CAN CONTINUE WITH THAT TICKET ONLY .THAT

TIME ALSO I DIDNT REALISE IT COULD BE BABA! I WAS JUST WONDERING THAT SUCH A

NICE HUMAN BEING ! SHE KEPT TALKING TO ME AND FINALLY WHEN THE TRAIN HALTED SHE

AND ME ALIGHTED TOGETHER AND SHE POINTED TO AN OPPOSITE TRACK TRAIN AND SAID

THATS YOUR TRAIN .HAVE A SAFE TRIP AND HAPPY JOURNEY!AND RAN OFF TOWARDS THE

STAIRS!

NOW I IMMEDIATELY GOT INTO THE TRAIN AND THEN TEARS ROLLED FROM MY CHEEKS THAT I

REALISED IT WAS BABA WHO SENT THIS ANGEL TO HELP ME OR ITS HIMSELF IS A MYSTERY

BUT I WAS GUIDED ON TWO THINGS - ONE ON THE RIGHT TRAIN AND SECONDLY ON THE

STATION TO BE ON TIME FOR MY FLIGHT.

I REACHED THE STATION AND TO MY SURPRISE THE STATION MASTER JUST ACTIVATED MY

TICKET CARD FOR THAT STATION AND DIDNT CHARGE ANYTHING EXTRA.I WAS GETTING LATE

BUT WHAT TO DO ...I REACHED THE HOTEL AT 4.10 PM AND GOT REFRESHED FOR THE BUS

SHUTTLE AT 4.20PM.

BY THE LORDS GRACE I WAS ON TIME TO REACH THE AIRPORT ON TIME!

SEE OUR LORDS LOVE ..ITS UNFATHOMABLE CANNOT BE EXPLAINED.how muchever we thank

him and owe him its endless love ....

 

i opened the sat charita in the bus towards the airport as thanks giving

and baba told me in my heart -give me dakshina for giving you darshan!So i

promised him after reaching India surely i will.

When i opened the page it was scary the message page 116.

Under story -balasaheb Mirikar

the story was on snakes baba is explaining to his devotees that this is our

dwarakamai where you are sitting.she wards off all dangers and anxities of the

children who sit in her lap.this masjidmai (its presiding deity)is very merciful

she is the merciful 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 hand on his head.When Balasaheb was about

to depart,he again said -Do u know that Lamba Baba'(long gentleman ie serpent) ?

and then closing his left fist he brought it under 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 dwarakamai' when the dwarakamai (its preciding

Diety)protects,what can the serpent do?'

 

 

I just related the content on this page to the evil spirits that baba saved me

from ..maybe its in my mind or maybe it was real. i dont know but

at least baba asked me to go one day earlier and also helped me to reach india

safely. I arrived at our home and thanked baba after reaching hom on is day

'Thursday! "

 

Aum sai ram - Bow to Sri Sai ,peace be with all

 

I shall narrate another incident that occured yesterday at Kollur Baba comes as

Beggar and blesses the bride ...

Sai Baba's miracle !!

Friday, 3 April, 2009, 8:56 AM

 

 

This miracle took place when my family was leaving to Shirdi on 22nd

march 2007

On 21st march, my mother and I visited Baba's mandir [T.R.Nagar Bangalore]

We were sitting in dwarakamai , my mother was reading SHRI SAI SATCHARITRA

and I was reading 108 names of Baba.

I was seeing Baba's face.. and asked him to give me darshan in person and

as it is said, if u ask anything from heart baba fulfills the wish....

A small girl who had worn a silk gown and top with lots of gold jewellery

came and sat in between my mother and me. Then she came very close to me. I

 

got scared wondering why she sat so close and was looking at my face.

She tapped my leg and asked me for biscuits as she was hungry, I said I

didnt have any. Then she asked me for some monet so that she could

buy

biscuits. I dont know y but I couldnt resist her vibration.. felt as though

it was too godly.

I quickly put my hand inside my purse and started searching for 9 rupees,

[why i was searching for that particular amount..I had no idea]

My mom asked me what happened I asked her for some change my mom gave her

Rs.9 and even I gave her Rs.9 . After recieving the money she still sat for

some time wathing my face. Then she left. The temple was crowded.I was

wondering why a girl with so many gold ornaments and who appeared so rich

was asking us for money.. The was she asked ... it was as though she was

sure that I wud give her money...

And her vibration left me almost shivering..

When we came out of the temple.. I saw a very old saint who walked like a

young man, He gave us a smile. I thought.. IT WAS BABA FOR SURE.

On the way back to home .. I was discussing the incident which took place

in the mandir

.. I told her that I was searching for 9 rs .. and I dont

know why ... and that her vibration was too powerfull..

My mom was shocked .. she told me that even she was searching for 9 rs and

even she had the same feeling regarding the girl's vibration.

 

 

We both couldnt keep eye contact with her.

 

I told my mother that the girl appeared so rich and still came and asked us

for money .. not only the ornaments but even her green gown gave her a rich

look ... my mom said that the girl was wearing brown gown ... but I was

very sure that it was green .. How could we see 2 different colours .. is

still a shock for us..

We were also amased of the fact that .. She came dirctly to us .. asked

money n the left the mandir without asking monet from anybody else ..

I later realised that even Baba [statue] was wearing the same green colour

dress ..which the girl wore ..

But till date my mom says it dress was brown in colour .. and I rem it as

green ...

I thank Baba for being so kind and giving us darshan ...
