My SHIRDI EXPERIENCE FEB 28 2010
Sai Ram Devotees,
Here is my Shirdi Experience:
JAI SAIRAM
JAI SAIRAM
OM ANANTHA KOTI BRAMANDA NAYAKA OM RAJADI RAJ YOGI RAJ PARA BRAMA OM SHRI SACHITANAND SATGURU SAINATH MAHARAJ KI JAI.
· Planned Shirdi Trip for long weekend (HOLI), for long wanted to give Vastra to BABA in Shirdi (Long pending vow). But for some reason or the other it was getting delayed even after couple of trips to Shirdi from pune. Also I was planning for long time to attend one of the Aarthi in Shirdi.
· While reading Satchrita I was reminded of the pending work by BABA. I had long back written in a piece of paper the size of cloth required for Samadhi and for BABA Pratima, Head Gear and Scarf in my Sai Satchrita Book. This piece of paper fell down couple of times while doing daily reading of Sai Satcharita. It seemed Baba was reminding me of my pending work.
· One fine day suddenly we planned the Shirdi Trip (on Feb 28 2010) and Hired a Car from Pune and Reached Shirdi at around 2:30PM and after shopping for Baba Vastras went to Gate # 2 at around 3:40 PM and enquired the security person what time would be right to start the queue so that we get Doop Aarthi, He said 3:40PM is good time and assured we will definitely get evening Aarthi, After 2 hours when we reached the stairs of Samadhi Mandir the time was 5:40 PM and at that time the queue behind us was just stopped for evening Aarthi, I was Hoping very much that we can definitely do today evening Aarthi inside Samadhi Mandir while standing in Queue but that did not happen, I was in my heart telling myself why I did not get a chance to do Aarthi inside Samadhi Mandir. (Just missed the Aarthi line by Whisker) But we got very good darshan of baba because the queue behind us was stopped for Dhoop Aarthi. We kept the vastras bought for baba in the Samadhi of Baba and came back to Sansthan office and handed over the vastras. But in my heart I was still feeling sad that we just missed the Aarthi, We took about 15 to 20 Mins. break for my son to eat and drink something and wanted to proceed to Dwarkamai, we came to Dwarkamai Queue at around 6:10 PM and got into Dwarakamai at around 6:25PM and in front I saw Big Screen TV Monitor showing Samadhi Mandir and Pujari Starting Doop Aarthi and the place where I was standing I could see and to my left the Big Life Size portrait of BABA in Dwarakami (Where baba use to sit in Dwarakami) and to my surprise all the people just settled down in the middle portion of Dwarakamai for Doop Aarthi. I was standing just behind the Post (where Baba use to lean in a pillar in Dwarkamai). The Big TV screen showing Samadhi Mandir in front of me and Baba portrait in Dwarkamai to my left. My wife and son were exactly in front of Dwarkamai Step facing Baba. The Aarthi started and I was able to see see Samadhi Mandir in Big TV Screen in front of me and to my left I saw Baba's Portrait in Dwarkamai and it flashed to me that Baba understood by thought and wanted me to do Aarthi in Dwarkamai (where Aarthi was done when baba was living till Mahasamadhi). During Aarthi whenever I saw Baba Portrait I was getting choked because I felt like that I was doing Aarthi in front of BABA in Dwarkamai. There were lot of police pushing people out of Dwarkamai just few minutes before Aarthi and even after Aarthi started but we got a fantastic spot and did Aarthi. This incident really chocked my heart. In fact I would like to mention that I again went to Shirdi on March 26 2010 and was able to get to Samadi Mandir for Night Aarthi but I was not able to see Baba and Samadhi from the place where I was standing, there was lot of crowd. Bud I did Aarthi inside and was able to have good darshan of Baba after Aarthi.
· I was very happy baba did this favor to us. Thanks a lot baba. After driving back to Pune was thinking about the whole incident for very long time. And this felling I will never forget in my life.
· This is not my first experience like this. I have lots and lots of small and other big incidents happening in my life day to day which is hard to explain I know for sure this incident was very well planned by BABA for us.
· I first came into contact with saigroup (mysaibaba20) in Sep 2004 when I was living in USA. I have very pleasant memories with BABA both in USA and India (at Veena Aunty's Place in Delhi Nov 30 2006). Really there are no words to thank the service done by Shri Ashokji and Veena Aunty. Whenever I have taken my Sai Satcharita Book and my Baba PRATIMA to Veena Aunty's place both in Delhi and Marietta (USA) it was blessed by baba immediately. And I will not forget the lunch (Prasad) we had with Aunty and Ashok uncle on Nov 30 2006, In fact couple of times Shri.Ashokji has mentioned to me about writing my experience in e-mail. I have even all Digital photographs taken in Delhi and USA of Amritvani which I attended in Delhi and USA (it is a treasure for me). I have attached some of them in my e-mail to Ashokji.
OM SAI RAM
