I went on a personal trip to Chennai and planned to go to Pondicherry, SaiBaba Mandir. And of course it is the place were I believe I am given rebirth. Baba looks as he is in Shirdi here.
Situated on the shores of the city, for anyone who comes with patience and faith, they are sure to be blessed and given an astounding experience by our beloved Father Sai.
Usually on Sunday afternoon, a group of devotees gather together and do service for Baba (cleaning the premises). My plan today is to join them. By 2 pm in the afternoon, I reached The Mandir. A new security inside The Mandir has not allowed me to get inside since he cannot recognize me, and without thinking anything I sat near the gate and started writing OMSAI in a note book.
Few minutes later, a servicing lady arrived and I was let inside The Mandir. And soon after, The Cook anna (I know him) also came. And we started talking for sometime.
Refreshing my self, I went to see our Father and bowed at his feet with tears in my eyes. Without delaying, I accompanied with the serving lady and started cleaning The Mandir and ended up with Dwarkamai. One can feel the real passion of loving God when you service at his feet – Our Eternal Father Sai Baba – Who lives with us always.
In the evening, when I was about to complete cleaning Cook anna called me and asked me to have some food. He served me with Sai Prasad – A Delicious, Tasteful and a Blessed food.
I brought some food for Baba to serve him (Bread-Jam, Mixture and Guava) in the evening Arati. I gave Mixture and Guava to the Pujari for the Arati and I served the Bread and Jam to Baba from Dwarkamai myself and went back to The Mandir to attend the Arati.
After Arathi, the Cooking anna gave me Prasadam again and I ate for my stomach. He also said he would give me a parcel for night. I thanked Baba for the love and affection he has shows on me through Cook anna.
After The Arati was over, I saw two people singing songs for our Baba inside The Mandir. It reminded me my desires to sing for our Baba inside the same Mandir.
And I started reading Satcharitra sitting inside Dwarkamai.
I planned to start at 7pm from Mandir to stay well ahead and catch the bus from the bus station. But I wanted to complete the chapter which I was reading. Some noise outside The Mandir disturbed my concentration and I am unable to read further and was confused what to do since it is already 7pm.
A Security person who I know in The Mandir very well arrived. This is the First Miracle. I know him very much when I was studying in Pondicherry University. He left the Job to continue his studies years before and rejoined here just few days before. May be Baba made me to wait for sometime to see him and then go. Baba only knows the answer. We spoke for sometime and I asked him about his studies.
Behind The Mandir, Baba’s Foot was kept under a Neem Tree. Whenever I come here, I used to perform Milk Abishekam to our Baba there. I requested the Security bro to bring some milk for me from a nearby shop. We did Milk Abishekam to our father. This is the second Miracle, that Baba made me realize my duties to perform Abishekam.
It is 8pm and Arati started in The Mandir. So I made up my mind to stay for the Night Arati. And the Third Miracle happened. A saint has come to our Baba Mandir that day, he has written Bhaghawatgita in many Indian languages. Arati was playing and The Mandir was filled with Sai Devotees including the Saint.
In the fifth stanza (Athaswami suke nithra kara avathuda) the player stopped suddenly, Pujari was also showing Arati to Baba at this time. Only the Saint and myself are singing the Arati. (Thank you God, I know only the Night Arati, and sometimes even I struggle with some verse). The Temple representatives rushed from the office to The Mandir and gave a mike to me and the Saint. Having unstopped I continued to sing with the mike in my hand and the Arati Bhajan went on smoothly.
I have no words only tears to thank our Baba. I remembered my wish to sing for him from inside The Mandir and he fulfilled my wishes and the Arati also went on without disturbances.
Then after collecting a copy of Baghavatham, I left with a Baba Calender which I purchased there with a food parcel to the bus station. Again a Miracle happened here. A devotee who came for Night Arati gave me a drop to the city and I went before 10pm to the bus station.
When we have full trust on Baba, Baba gives us the promise to take care of us and he will never let any of his children down. I learnt from my experience. Only Faith and Patience is what we have to give our Father with Love and he is sure to take care of us. Patience and Faith is what he wants us to practice.
If you believe in Baba, He will never let you down
