Dear Sai Readers, i am back with a very touching experience of Sai Brother Sai Varun ji in Shirdi. I was really overwhelmed to read comments and mails asking about my well being since i was absent for one week from blog work. Few changes in life are unavoidable and they might result in avoiding other things in life which are indeed our need. Writing, sharing information on blogs is in a way my need, my devotion, but sometimes Lord Sai Baba tests us and take us away from this need. I apologise the inconvenience caused to you due to my absence, but believe me it was unavoidable and i had to look inside other matters which are so called of worldly nature. I would try to be regular in my postings in future, but i would not promise you because many times promises are made only to be broken and i do not want to make fake promises. Dear Sai Readers, this time i really want your prayers to be in track with blog work and social life. Kindly do pray for me.
Sai Brother Sai Varun from India says: Om Sai Ram, This is my second experience that I am writing on this blog, you can read the first one here
Baba brings you back to him.
Miracles happen every moment. It is just that we take note of only the big ones. The below experience which I am going to share is one of those times when you need to take time off your worldly matters to understand what just happened with you. I will narrate this experience as it is without any edits and will also include the thoughts that immediately came in my mind at each and every step.
This particular experience that I am going to narrate is about my
recent trip to Shirdi. I was planning to visit Shirdi since June, but I was not able to make up my mind. Finally in August, some of my friends expressed their interest in visiting
Shirdi. We decided to move ahead with tickets etc. We were in Bangalore and there were no direct flights to Nasik or Aurangabad from here. So we decided to travel via Train or else Bus if we do not get tickets. It was 5th August when we finalized this and the travel date was 17th August. We checked the train tickets. Waiting list was large on train. There were little chances of it getting confirmed. Still my sister in law booked the tickets in 2nd AC. I was hoping to book the tickets in tatkal quota 2 days before 17th (i.e. 15th August). I was praying to Baba that if He wants only, than I can make it to Shirdi. On 14th there was a house party and I slept at 3:00 AM. Now to book tickets, one needs to wake up at 8:00 AM and do it; else the quota finishes in 20 minutes past 8:00 AM. I was hopeful that if Baba wants, I will surely get the tickets. I woke up at 8:05 AM and rushed to open the website and book tickets. To my surprise all the seats of quota were still there. I thanked Baba and proceeded with booking. I needed to book 4 tickets. Everything went fine, but the payment did not go through and it got declined. I tried again and this time it was 10 seats left. The same error happened again and I could not book the tickets. I got little worried and prayed to Baba. Thus being hopeful I felt like trying one last time. This time it was 4 seats left. I was constantly praying to Baba and this time I was able to book tickets. I was elated and as soon as I booked the tickets I got this SMS: “Shirdi Chalo Shirdi Chalo, Baba Ne Bulaya Hai, Ye Sandesha Baba Ne Aapke Liye Shirdi Se Bhijwaya Hai.”
