Why Fear When I Am Here – Sai Devotee Ramya

Sharing today experience of Sai sister Ramya Ji from India.

Sai Sister Ramya Ji from India says: Om Shri Sai Ram,

I have been an ardent reader of this blog from a week or so when I was a bit down. It’s a miracle actually how I came across this blog. I was googling out Sai every time to read about Him in the past. But that day something prompted me to google “Sai my guru” and this was the first site I landed on.

From then on I kept reading this blog whenever I had free time. I myself had few experiences with Baba. But reading the experiences of other devotees made me still more receptive to the loving nature of our Baba. He is the one who catches our hand, leads us even on the frightening phases of life. I am not saying this out of the blind love to Baba that I have, but my life is a direct proof of His blind love towards us. He didn’t lie a bit. When He said He will take care of all of us, He didn’t lie.

As I was reading the experiences of the devotees, I felt each one has described it so beautifully that I could actually experience Baba each time I read an experience. Blessed are those devotees and blessed are we, who could experience them at least partially through their words. My heartfelt namaskarams to each and everyone who shared their valuable treasures with all, especially Hetal ji, you are god sent. That’s all I can say.

I was at doubt if I can share my experiences with you all, because I didn’t know if I can do any justice to them, find right words to describe, so I didn’t have the courage to post any. But yesterday when I went to Sai temple, I got a sign that I must post mine (From the 3rd chapter Of Satcharitra, which was kept open as if for me to read). So here it goes.

I used to reside in America before I had a baby (that too is my Baba’s grace). There we were planning to buy a house as everyone else was buying at that time. My parent, especially my mom, believes in Vaastu Shastra so much and was advising me every day through calls how to buy a good home. But, I hope, all know how the houses are constructed in USA. It is very difficult to find a house that matches all the Vaastu criteria. At last, we liked a house that partially matched the main criteria my mom put forth and as we liked the other aspects of that house, we went forward and bought it. But may be due to my mom, I don’t know, I had a nagging fear inside me that the Vaastu, being not nice, may have any adverse effect on us. Just as we shifted to that house, that night I had a dream. I was sitting at the feet of my Sai and asking Him “Baba, mom says this house isn’t that right as the Vaastu is not nice”. And Baba didn’t even wait for me to complete my sentence; He stood and ran all over that house saying does your house need Vaastu when I myself reside here”. My heart knew no bounds; even now I can’t express what I felt then. I felt more like a kid who has all the courage in the world because her dad is with her. I feel the same way when my dad is with me. But I felt a thousand times more when Baba said those words.

I believe that it’s Baba. He Himself who is making me to write this incident. Believe me; I didn’t have the slightest idea how to draft this experience or at least what experience to put forth. May be Baba wants this experience to be told, may be this experience will hold light to someone who is searching for an answer. I don’t know, but all I know is BABA is everything. Just have faith in Him and be patient. Baba, I love you a lot, just be with me always as you always have.
