MY LIFE IS MY MESSAGE (MIRACLES IN MY LIFE) - PART 2

Recently we had been on tour to Ooty and unfortunately we lost a costly new mobile. My husband and me were so upset and searched all way long.. But immediately in a short while after realizing the loss, we saw Swami’s photo (a big one) in a bus.. We felt relaxed seeing His image. We filed Fir and were returning back to room when on the way we saw Swami’s Ashram, we felt so consoling.. Miracle here was, my hubby had been to Ooty for nearly 15 times but this was the first time he saw the ashram.. We felt as if Swami was trying to console us. But unfortunately all the gates were closed.. We felt sad but anyway we thought atleast we could have darshan of His ashram and were about to return when we heard of a bell… Surprised were we.. It was as if Swami was calling us “Wait don’t go”.. We ran hither and thither to know who it was. But we realized that we did not hear it from the Ashram, we heard it from a nearby sheet room.. We went there and found there was only one picture of Swami and a small boy was showing Agarbathi to Swami. We felt so happy that atleast we could have His darshan here. As soon as we prayed and were about to move the boy came and told us.”You are lucky the security will open the gates and doors of the ashram”.. We were so astonished.. We felt so happy and went inside and had a nice time in that silent atmos. We came out and spent 5 minutes in taking snaps etc but at last inside car we realized that we could not find the boy anywhere.. Swami is great…

Another miracle in life that was so astonishing… in our mobile we had Swami’s picture in desktop. Once at home, my husband happened to note that there was Shirdi Baba’s picture in desktop. My husband asked me and his parents but none had changed it and all saw that Shirdi Baba’s picture was there. My mother in law told me that may be shirdi baba is reminding about the Vratham that I had committed before Shirdi Baba sometime ago but till that day I dint perform it.. But I told her “its ok but in this case maybe someone might have changed the desktop”.. You wont believe, within few minutes the desktop picture again changed to Sathya Sai Baba.. Only then I realized my mother in law’s words … Shirdi Baba had come to remind me about Vratham….

Each and every moment seams to be a miracle in life when we start believing the Almighty[whichever form it might be]..Realisation is essential..

MY LIFE IS MY MESSAGE - MIRACLES IN MY LIFE

Sairam,
Miracles that took place in my life..
My parents were working from the day one. And I was left at my neighbour’s place to take care once I return back from school.. When I was doing my 2nd std, I was chased by some rogues, those rogues were none other than the neighbours’ sons.. But, with Swami’s grace I ran away each time I saw them.. I was so sensitive from the beginning of my life that I never liked a male touching me or talking much with me.. But, each time I ran seeing them, I used to cry sitting at a distant place.. But, I heard a voice, consoling me.. “Don’t worry I am there to take care of you”. I felt so consoling and since I was too small to realize whose it was.. I just nodded my head and wiped my eyes and went to play.. After that incident, the voice came with me each and every place I went.. (I mean, whenever I was sad or hurted, I heard the voice consoling me). I loved that voice, no matter who it was..

Once, when I was in 4th std, our neighbour called my mother to accompany them to Whitefield for Swamy’s darshan. My mother had belief on Swamy but not a devotee.. So she accepted it.. Unfortunately on the day of the trip to Whitefield, my mother was not well. So she insisted my father to take me, he argued with my mother that he never believed all those magicians so he cannot take me.. But my mother told him not to disappoint me.. So my father took me with him.
Since I was a kid, I was asked to sit in the second row.. Bhajans started and slowly, Swami, smilingly came walking from inside his room.. Wow that was a blissful experience.. I don’t know why I was filled with tears but it was bliss so I wept… He came near our line first and to a child just before us, he wrote in a slate “OM” and told the child.. “Petko, Petko ra” (Hold, Hold it) I could recognize the voice. Yes, the voice that consoled me often was none other than Swami.. and that was the day.. I completly surrendered myself to Swamy..

Then on, each day I could realize small miracles of Him.. While I was in 6th std, we came to chennai and I started suffering from wheezing. It went to an extreme that my mother planned to take me to a homeo doctor to cure it permanently.. Fortunately, the homeo doctor we approached was a Sai devotee, and she was really very blessed that Swami had gifted her with Hiranya garbha Lingam.. She shared her experiences that she had cured many diseases just praying that lingam. She gave me the ligam in my hand and asked to hold it on praying swami to cure me.. You believe or not, it cured me completely for 6 years.. Till I completed my 12th std, with Swami’s grace I dint have wheezing.

When I was in 10th std, I suffered from fits and was unconscious, truly speaking, without even breathe I lied for few minutes, my mother prayed Swamy with cries and He got my body back to life… And that incident was really the greatest miracle in 2 sense.. one was Swamy gave me life back. Second was, I was a very meagerly studying and a very reserved and fearful character, after tat incident, astonishingly, my characters completely changed to a person who is good in studies, very outspoken and frank, and a very bold character. To be frank, I was selected as one of the ‘prefect’ of my school during my 12th std. Also, Swamy selected me as a Best Student of Balavikas and gave me an award during my 12th std.

After my 12th std, I had no interest to do my studies in regular college, as our family was financially very poor. My mother was the only earning member whose earnings was not enough for even our proper food.. Our samithi members told us that Swami was so kind enough that he gives free education hence I was asked to try there.. Myself and my mother went there and I wrote my exams but unfortunately Swami dint will me to join there, maybe because my mother would be lonely. So my uncle had come to help me apply for distance education in some universities, but unfortunately, my father beat him without a reason, that made me feel so bad. It was in a fraction of moment that Swamy made me tell stubbornly that I cant live with my father so my mother too had to come with me.. I was told by all my family members that I should not waste my life by studying in distance, they told they will give me money… But I told that I should start working and study in distance..

Swami was always kind hearted. My aunt had called up an institution and there, based on my marks, gave me scholarship such that my college fees and hostel fees everything were being sponsored by them and again Swami was kind enough that I was nominated for the best student of the college(I dint get the award, but am still happy that my name came in the nomination list of 3 people) and was selected and sent to represent our college to celebrate the 150th year success of our university.. also Swami made me a silver medalist in UG.. I still cannot believe all these.. I was a very stupid girl but once after reformation Swami was really great enough to keep me and my mother happy.
AS soon as my college was over, I got job within a week’s time.. This is also a miracle..

Within an year of my working, my marriage got settled with a family who were also Swami believers. Once our invitation was printed, before circulation, we wanted to attend bhajan. During the bhajan, we kept our invitation at the lotus feet of Swamy and you wont believe, we had a blissful experience again.
On all our heads there showered the yellow rice(otherwise called akshadhai) from the roof and on our invitation there fell a mango leaf(holy during marriage) and while distribution of sweets, we got turmeric seed(Manja kazhangu in tamil)..
Also,they never asked dowries etc and co operated so much and Swamy arranged our marriage in a very grand manner.. Still astounded how it happened so grandly because we dint have savings and not a penny to arrange MARRIAGE. Swami had arranged and made me married in such a Manner....
