Welcome back to the divine world of Sri Sai Baba. Last month it was 5th
anniversary of our blessed Sai Baba Forum. This Forum is like another
DwarkaMai for all of us. It’s the true blessings of Baba Sai. Our
online DwarkaMai is an inspiration of Baba
and He is the sole driving force behind its
success. This magazine is also a
great inspiration of Sai himself.
Baba is a highly potent force

that has been helping humanity
solve its problems since time
immemorial. You may argue
that Sai Baba is a recent
phenomenon. However, I
believe that Sai Baba is just one
of the faces of spirituality and
divinity and it is something, which
has been prevalent in this universe
always. In whichever form or figure
Sai Baba appears to us, HE is an
instrument to give succor to the needy, relief
to the suffering and solace to all. He is the guiding light,
which is leading humanity in the present times towards divinity in a very
gentle and loving way.
Does a seed grow into plant as soon as it is sown? Is the growth not
constrained by time? Can a growth happen faster and make a mockery of the
SAMARPAN
~5~
underlying concept of time attached to it? Such a growth can happen in

fiction only. In reality, growth is a process, which takes its own time. Every
kind of growth requires the fertile ground of patience and hope as the
catalyst. Needless attempts to accelerate the growth or the actions
undertaken under the influence of impatience can actually result in pitfalls
and retard the growth in fact. Growth is not always irreversible, it is equally
possible to descend down from greater heights and that make take no time at
all. A solid foundation built goes a long way in sustaining the growth and in
providing a cushion against pitfalls later. It is important to build a concrete
base before we attempt to raise any structure on that.
When we try to establish Sai in our heart, it cannot be a onetime effort and
affair; it demands continuous efforts to retain Sai in our heart. There will be
many situations, which will tempt us from time to time, and they will attempt
to lead us astray. We cannot be paralyzed at the thought of meeting them
anytime in future. These situations are not to be afraid of and are not
something, which we have to hate; they are to be tackled and that is it. Every
doubt is a locked door, which obstructs our vision and blocks our journey.
Until we open the door, we cannot see ahead. The locked door neither is the
end of journey nor is a bitter fruit, it is just a milestone. Let us keep
unlocking all such doors which we encounter and enjoy the journey.
Om Sai Ram.

Baba blesses with money and CD
By: Charu
This is one of my very recent experiences, which I would like to share with all
the devotees of Shri Sai Baba.
“I was searching for a human idol toy (for the model which I had to submit in
my college) in the market nearby my house. While searching for it, I heard
that one of the music shop owner had played very loudly one of my favorite
Sai Baba bhajan- 'Sai meri raksha karna.’. I was running short of money as
SAMARPAN
~7~
my pocket money had finished. I told Sai Baba that if I had money I would
have bought that CD. Therefore, I was a bit upset n continued to search my
human idol toy for my model.
After searching for a long time, I got it and I went home. I started working for
my model n suddenly my grandfather came n gave my Rs. 5000/- . I was very
surprised that why is he giving so much of money. On asking him, he said
that it is my share from the house, which he had sold for some reason. Then, I
recalled that it was Sai Baba who had given me the money to buy the CD. I
was so happy that tears came out of my eyes as just for a CD worth Rs. 125/- ,
my Sai Baba has given me Rs. 5000/-."
Sai Baba listens to all our thoughts and prayers and he helps us in some or
the other way. Trust Sai n he will be there for you!
JAI SAI RAM.

Parvati Parameswara
By: Dipankar Lahiri
Decades ago in the last week of February 1958 we, a team of postgraduate
Geology students from Calcutta University were returning from Lakhpat at
the southwestern corner of the Thar Desert. Circumstances had compelled us
to stay for three nights at Bhuj, the capital of Kacchha. We lodged at a
dharamshala. Next morning our professor asked us to go for a fieldwork to
collect fossils. He advised us a casual work, as we were tired of four weeks
of rigorous fieldwork in the formidable desert. Therefore, instead of
everybody taking map, compass, hammer, haversack, water bottle, notebook
and pencil we distributed these amongst ourselves. One carrying water
bottle, avoided other things, the hammer bearer avoided water bottle, only a
few took map, compass and notebook, and nobody took his hat, except the
professor.
Leaving the town, within moments the scorching desert sun started telling on
us. Within two hours, all the water bottles were empty, barring that of the
teacher who from the beginning strictly rationed his water intake. Our
traverse was across sandy plains that by then started burning. After about
four hours, we came across a low ridge. Though low, it was enough to
provide some sort of privacy. Encouraging those peers that prefer to remain
close to teachers to advance, three of us deliberately lagged behind.
Fortunately, I bore a map, another had a compass, but none had any water
bottle.
We sat for some time in the shade of a large banyan tree and then moved
back deserting the party. Acute thirst had been haunting us. After half an
hour’s walk, we traced a temple some distance away. Quickly pacing towards
it we found it closed. There was some water in the chute, apparently drained
out waste water of the temple. Some pockets of water were there on the
SAMARPAN
~9~
uneven floor of the drain. That we gathered in cups of our palms to drink.
Thirst somewhat slaked we resumed our walk setting our compass to the
royal clock tower that was visible form considerable distance. Within
minutes, thirst again started its pinch. Our voices got broken and after two or
three sentences, violent cough only came out. At this moment, suddenly a
hutment fenced by wild bush fell in our sight. That inspired us as a
prospective habitation. We started running. Gasping, almost out of breath
when we approached the
hutment, we saw jet dark
girl lifting water from a
dug well. We approached
her to say, Mayee! Give us
some water. Though black
in complexion, the girl
bore a celestial charm
around her. With the facile
arms, she was pulling the
rope to lift water. Sensing
our presence getting
scared, she left the bucket
and ran inside the hut.
However, the sweetness of
her effulgence seemed to
stay like the smile of
Alice’s cat. The spell was
shattered by a male voice
thundering from within the
cottage, Kaun hai re! And came out a giant among men nearly seven feet tall,
having red eyes, thick matted brownish hair, yellow flowers on the ears,
wearing a hide of spotted deer and a black jacket. Seeing us he Said, Oh
Babulog! Tum? Kya mangte?
SAMARPAN
~ 10 ~
Thora pani! Bahat tiyas lagi hai. The giant considered us separately for
minutes, and then asked Keya jaat hai tumhara? All of us were Brahmins. On
hearing this he roared, Myay chandal hum, sharply denying access to the
well. His excuse was that being so low in caste if he gave water to any of us
he would have to suffer social boycott. When all our urging failed, we sat on
his verandah declaring that we would not leave unless he allowed us to
drink. The man sat by our
side deep in thought. After
a few minutes, I Said we
would rather die than
leave. He would then be
liable for brahmahatya. He
heard us. Without any sign
of shifting his stand, he
took a chutti from his
pocket and started
smoking. We were at a fix.
More than a mile on all
sides there was only
barren sand. At last,
endless wait ended. He
suddenly suggested, if we
agree to draw water
ourselves, he might allow.
We agreed. I wanted a
glass or some sort of small
pitcher for taking water. He called, E Parbatiya! Babujeeke liye paoli laana.
The girl appeared in a veil, placed a stone jug on the floor, and disappeared.
After we quenched our thirst we again came to him to express our gratitude. I
Said, Aapka lerki mujhko dekhke bhaag gayee! The man grew angry to retort,
Kaun hai hamari lerki? Parbati haamki joru hai, and saw us off.
SAMARPAN
~ 11 ~
We left walking and talking for half an hour to reach the precincts of Bhuj.
There was no trace of thirst, as if we never had been thirsty during last three
hours. As I went to bed, the image of Parbati in her supernatural beauty
haunted me. Next morning I rose early, washing mouth and face I started for
the self-same spot to solve what seemed to me a mystery. In that early hour, I
met none on my way. Walking for about an hour, I located the spot, but there
was no trace of hutment or habitation. I had been looking back and forth. A
man appeared with a gunnysack of groundnut on his back. Seeing me, he
dropped his load and Said, Keya Babujee! Kisiko dhunrte ho? I narrated the
incident and asked where might those people had gone overnight! He looked
at my face and asked me to follow. Walking a few yards, we came to a spot
where there were two vermillion-smeared stones, one dark and another white.
He Said, Babujee! Tum bahat Bhagyaban ho! Tumhara Hara Parbatika
darshan hua. He prostrated himself and asked me to do so, that I did not.
Leaving me there, he returned to pick up his bag.
I stood astounded for some time and then returned. It was a tough job to
satisfy the curiosity of my colleagues. A decade later, I met a monk in
saffron belonging to Sri Ramakrishna Order. He looked at my forehead and
asked me about my religious beliefs. I thought I was an atheist. That I told
him. He then shut his eyes for a few minutes, and then asked whether I had
any supernatural vision anytime in my memory. After a long search, I came
to the Hara-Parbati incident. With deep interest, he listened to me, and then
Said you are so fortunate that none in a thousand might be. You read Raja
Yoga of Swami Vivekananda and start meditating immediately. Do not waste
your precious birth as a human.
I never had any initiation. I do not know what it is. Today at seventy-three, I
find how the Monk’s suggestion gradually changed my life forever.

Baba blesses my fast
By: Meenakshi Pandit
Today I want to share my experience with you all. I took a vow for doing nine
Thursday fasts in the name of Sai Baba. Before my ninth fast was completed,
he showered his blessing on me and fulfilled my wish. On ninth Thursday
there was my UDDAYAPAN I made puri for Baba bhog and after complete
my puja I offered Baba that puri strange! I saw a bite has missed I was so
happy Baba accept my puri.

Sai Baba: The eternal guide of our family

By: Varsha Chavan
I am from Mumbai .This happened sometime in the 1980’s. I do not remember

the exact year, as I was a teenager then. My father is very fond of motor
bikes, cars and scooters. However due to our financial constraints he could
buy a scooter only. He is also fond of traveling and has taken us to many
places in the south and holy places like Shirdi, Pandharpur, Kolhpaur,
Akkalkot, and our Grandmother’s mother’s place at Ratnagiri.
He had a group of friends who also loved to travel and they used to go on
their respective motorbikes/ scooters to visit Pali Ganpati on Ganesh Jayanti,
Cheul during Datta Jayanti etc. My mother and I have also accompanied him
on a few occasions. Well their group planned their first long distance trip
from Mumbai to Shirdi. By the time, they reached Shirdi it was late night and
SAMARPAN
~ 14 ~
they reached a spot where they seemed lost –there was a dead end. All they
could see in the pitch-dark night was a tent! Moreover, an old man with a
lantern, dressed like Baba, suddenly stopped them! He came out from the
white tent and asked them in the local marathi language: Sons, don’t you
want to live? If you go any further all that would be found of you will be bits
and pieces of your flesh! Where do you want to go? To this my father replied,
“Baba we want to go to Sai Baba’s temple, Shirdi”. To this, He Said, “OK”,
pointed to a road and Said, “Go, that will take you to the Temple”. They
thanked Him and turned their bikes to the road shown by the Baba.
As they turned my dad asked his colleague to see who this old man was in
the dark, when he turned there was no one and no tent! The road He had
pointed took them to the temple in just about minutes! As they were returning
in the daylight after darshan, they stopped at the same spot and all of them
went to see the end of the road. Sure enough, had Baba not stopped them,
all the six bikes would have gone down the deep valley! Nothing would have
been found of their existence! They all thanked Sai Maouli, since then my dad
always has a Sai Baba sticker on his bike, in our home, on our cupboard,
and of course, He is always in our hearts. My spiritual adviser who gave me
a painting of Baba and has framed it –Baba sitting on the bathing stone,
blessed me myself. It is in my parent’s house. More than once He has
blessed me with his Grace and recently have been most fortunate to have
been gifted Shri Sai Satcharitra written by Shir Hemadpant. I will relate my
own experience in my next mail. Blessed is Shirdi and all those great men
women and children who witnessed Baba when He was in the human form
then and blessed are we who are graced by His presence now and can see
and visit Shirdi and Dwarkamai.
Glory be to Sai Maouli and may He always bless us all and give us a chance
to serve Him.

Devotion, an end in-itself
By: Mrs.& Mr.Sarwa Lakshmi Venkata Subba Rao, Sri Lanka
It is Said that while attending to the ordained duties/functions that involved

in our life, every being ought to strive to escape from re-births, that is, to
attain Liberation. This calls for spiritual practice and great Saints and
Scriptural texts speaks of Devotion as an end in itself. In this pursuit,
separate Mutts arose because of differences
in the methods of pursuing the same.
However, the Bhakti Marga is inherent in
any Mutt. Bhakti is not mere Prayer. The
actual strain of Bhakti is to promote in-
depth understanding of a subject through
logical discussions and study. Bhakti may
not be possible without research. Any
devotee that is bereft of Bhakti is bound to
be regenerated under the weight of its own
ignorance and it is imperative for its
intrinsic values. Of the four ways, namely,
Karma, Gnana, Yoga and Bhakti (devotion)
in the spiritual pursuit, the path of Bhakti
(devotion) is thorny, full of pits and ditches
and difficult to traverse, as explained under
Chapter 6 of Sri Sai Satcharitha. In fact, the
three ways, Karma, Gnana and Yoga also
ultimately lead the devotee to attain Bhakti (devotion). It is evident that
Bhakti marga brings together all the institutions on spiritual aspiration. The
conception of God taking any particular form is a way to develop Devotion
(Bhakti) as mentioned by the blessed author under Chapter 11 of Sri Sai
Satcharitha. Hence, being concentrated on a particular form would be the
easier Sadhana to develop Bhakti (devotion). Evidently, the realization of the
SAMARPAN
~ 16 ~
virtue of Devotion by Devotion itself, by being worshipping Saguna Brahma

form, Sadguru, results in the realization of God's action, that is, develops
Faith in God. Thus cleans the restlessness of the mind. There on, it keeps the
mind peaceful under Bhakti (devotion) on Saguna Brahma, Sadguru. The
devotee shall be successful when earnest in this pursuit.
Lord Shri Shirdi Sai Baba Said that His Guru was the sole object of
meditating and He was conscious of none-else. While meditating on His
Sadguru the mind / intellect were stunned and keeps Himself quiet and Bow
in silence, vide, Chapter 32 in Shri Sai Satcharitha. When devotion becomes
all-consuming, the Lord also reciprocates it, as His devotee's welfare is
paramount to Him. It is rather interesting to observe and analyze the oriental
concept of Sadguru and the relationship He bears towards His chosen
disciples. The Truth and Guru are identical. Once ignited Bhakti (devotion), it
draws the whole being irresistibly on-wards until the tiny spark becomes a
flame.

Experiences of Shirdi travel from Chennai
By: Aparna
We were planning to visit Shirdi during the Christmas and New Year
Holidays during 2007. We tried to book train tickets and hotel there.
However, as it was a vacation time our tickets were in the waiting list. It was
next to impossible for
the tickets to be
confirmed. Also all the
hotels in Shirdi were
booked in advance and
we did not know where
we were going to stay
even if we make it to
Shirdi. We had
purchased tickets in the
Dadar express from
Chennai to Pune. I was
praying Sai to help us.
Few days before our

travel, my husband
spoke to a person there
(his no was given by my
husband's colleague) and he arranged for a hotel stay with great difficulty.
He also arranged a car for us to travel from Pune to Shirdi as we were about
to get down at Pune.
With Baba's grace, on the day of our travel our tickets got confirmed. When
we reached Shirdi, we stayed in the hotel, which was booked, but were not
comfortable there. The next day on enquiry, we got another accommodation
SAMARPAN
~ 18 ~
at a lower cost and much more decent rooms. This particular hotel's kitchen
was once the kitchen of Byaji who used to cook food for Baba and fed Baba
wherever he used to wander. The kitchen is still maintained by the hotel
authorities and is called "Bayaji ki Rasoi". We were so glad and blessed that
we could have food from the holy kitchen.
Our darshan was great. We had three darshans - Evening aarthi, Kakad
aarthi and one again in the evening. We bought prasad from the Mandir and
shawls that once adorned Baba. Our return ticket also under wailing list and
I had great hope on Baba that he would do something. Luckily, our tickets
got confirmed on the day of our travel and we were relieved. Since it was a
long distance travel, it would have been difficult for us to travel without
confirmed tickets. I thank Sai Baba for his grace and timely help. Om Sai Ram

Baba fulfills my wish
By: Hyma.T
I am a devotee of Sairam from school days. It is with his blessings that

everything in my life happened smoothly; be it education, career or marriage.
It has been four and half years of marriage and I am praying SAIRAM for a
child. I was longing to go to
Shirdi to seek blessings, but the
trip was cancelled two times.
Surprisingly in December 2008,
officially, I had to go to
Pune and from there I went to

Shirdi. I had a wonderful
darshan and received the
blessings of SAIRAM. Also in
the same month, I went to
THIRUKARUGAVUR, a temple
near Thanjavur, to perform
puja. There also I got a darshan
of Sairam. I conceived
immediately next month and
now I am in sixth months of
pregnancy. I went through lot
of complications, but all the
time I had belief in Sairam that
he is with me and protects me. I have the belief that he would take me through
another four months and bless me with a child. Belief in SAIRAM is motto of
my life.

Poem -Take your Time
By: Tamaharini (Madeleine Heiss), Munich, Germany
Our Path unfolds

Under our feet
As we are walking
Our worries
Don´t make it any better
Nor do they accelerate
Our speed on the Path
So take your time.
Your Breath of Eternity

Paints pictures on the screen of time.
The pictures, like a movie, are transient
As is Time itself.
But you’re Love
Is Eternal

Baba reunites me with my baby
By: Chayan Agarwal
Baba has his own ways of looking after you, if you surrender completely to
him. I have experienced his presence, help & kindness all the time.
After my delivery, I was home with my baby for almost one year. Financially I
was fine, but I was always worried about my parents. My father was about to
retire and my parents did not have home to move to after his retirement. I
was so worried, that desperately started searching for Job & left my baby in
India with my parents. To find job in this economy & especially in the rural
city of US that I live in, was next to impossible. However, I kept my faith firm &
just kept on searching. In Dec'2008, not only I got a job but also it was a
situation where sometime I almost could feel Baba's kripa. Job description
was great, title & pay was great. After three months, I realized that probably I
have collected enough to help my parents. That was the time that my strength
and patience to have been separated with my baby was about to end. That
pain became so unbearable, that I almost asked Baba to help me. He again
worked out a solution for me. My company was going through financial
crisis, so announced pay cut. I asked my CFO that if I take a bigger pay cut, I
would still like to continue my job, but entirely from home, as I also want to
get my baby back from India. I almost was concerned that he may not agree
& I may lose this job, but to my surprise, he agreed to everything that I
proposed. So even though I will still need to sell some of my assets to help
my parents, but Baba made it possible for me to be able to help my parents &
reunite with my baby!.. Baba's mahima cannot be described in few words. I
wish Baba be with us all always!
Jai Sai Ram.

Baba saves us from troubles in our house

By: Radha
I have a beautiful experience with Sai. I stay in Ahmedabad with my husband.

My husband and I are working couple. We have a son. It was in December
2006, when my son was studying for MBA in Kerala. We had lots of tension
as we were facing quite many problems at that time. Financial crisis was the
number one problem and in addition, we had many accidents- falling down
from scooter, cement
slabs fell on my
head etc. During all
the difficult times,
we always felt a
super power’s
protective hand all
the time with us. We
escaped unhurt.
Those days we were

not able to sleep
properly and we
visited all the
temples except the
temple of Sai Baba.
We felt that there
was something strange in the house and it had some problems. We were
cursing our holidays for sitting at home. We could not sit more than five
minutes. In this condition, we were planning to sell our house. However, due
to some or the other reason we could not sell our house.
One day we went to sleep at around one at night. I saw Sai Baba in my dream.
I do not remember other details of the dream. In the morning, I told about the
SAMARPAN
~ 27 ~
dream to my husband. He was very surprised because we were not at all

going to Sai Baba temple and we were not Sai Devotees. My husband told me
we would go to Shirdi and have darshan.
If I remember correctly, it was on Dec. 30, 2006. My husband went out for
some work. However, he brought two bus tickets to Shirdi for the same day
evening. We went to Shirdi and had darshan. However, we could not pray
anything - a huge rush was there. We came back the same day.
We were relaxed after Shirdi Darshan. We firmly believed that Sai would
show some way. One day we told our mechanic about our problems in the
house and our feeling about the same. For the last ten years we had stayed
there, we never experienced such kind of difficulties. Then our Mechanic told
about one Maulavi. We went there. He told that he would visit our house. We
brought him to our house. He gave some holy water to sprinkle all over the
house. We did that. Exactly on the 10th day, the deal of our house finalized.
By the grace of Sai we bought one new house bigger than the previous one
and we have shifted to our new house. We are quite happy and tension free
now. Everything happened like a dream - because we will never go to a
Maulavi (muslim priest) since we are high caste Hindus. As on date if we
think about it, really it was a miracle. On top of it, we got the expected price
for our house.
We firmly believe that Sai solved all our problems. Now we all (Myself, My
husband, my son) are devotees of Sai.

incident and thank Baba for making me part of that. Shri Sachidanand
Sadguru Sainath Maharaj Ki Jai!
It was 17th of March 2007; I had to start for Shirdi from Bangalore. Before
that, I went to my cousin's place, as she wanted to give me some offering for
Baba. With utmost faith & reverence, she gave me Rs 501 and asked me to put
it in the hundi in Shirdi. I took it and kept it with me. On 18th afternoon around
2.00pm, I reached Kopargaon, from where I took an auto and reached Shirdi
at around 3.00pm.
Around 4.30pm, I visited the shrine and took darshan. I offered my prayers
and put Rs 501 from my cousin in the hundi. After which I visited Chawdi and
Dwarkamai and came back to my hotel. I was resting in the bed, as I was quite
tired, suddenly my mobile phone rang. It was my cousin from Bangalore. I
picked up the call. She asked if I had reached Shirdi and had the darshan.
She also asked if I had offered her dakshina to Baba. I could make out some
excitement in her voice, however had no idea what it was. I told her that yes I
had offered Rs 501 in her name to Baba. She immediately asked what the
exact time was. I Said it was around 4.30. Lo! She almost bursted into tears
and what followed was a story, which I had, no idea at all.
She told me that my brother-in-law (her husband) was undergoing a

departmental enquiry for his alleged involvement in a fraud from past one
and half years. In reality, he was completely innocent and had no role in that
fraud. Due to this, their life was very much tense. In addition, that he missed
his promotion, which was to happen sometime last year because of this
enquiry. Every day both of them used to pray to Baba to get them out of this
SAMARPAN
~ 30 ~
problem...and today at exactly 4.30; his supervisor called him and gave him
the clearance from the case. He was found innocent!
Whole night I could not sleep properly and was thinking about the whole
episode. Upon thinking deeply I realized how Baba made me the medium to
carry their humble offering to Baba and blessed them with his grace. My faith
on Baba doubled after this incident. I affirmed to myself that nobody could
harm or bring dishonor to the true devotees of Baba. He ever protects his
devotees, irrespective of where they are. Strange are his ways of showering
his grace upon his devotees!
Jai Shri Sainath!

Sadguru's Grace
By: Revathy Ramkumar
Adi Shankara is
known to all of us
as Jagad Guru. His
life is filled with
amazing and
wonderful
instances and
anecdotes. Here is
one very soul-
stirring tale from
Sri Adi Shankara's
life. The grace of a
GURU can do
anything.We only
need to surrender
to our Guru.
There were four

chief disciples
PadmaPada,
Sureshwara,
Hastamalaka and
Thotakacharya.
Each of these was
very special and
had total devotion for their Guru. Nothing came in the way of their bhakti for
their Guru. Padmapada was the first disciple. Once when he was on the other
side of the Ganges river, his master calls out to him and without any
SAMARPAN
~ 32 ~
hesitation or thought the disciple walks on the water to reach his Master.
Every step of his on the water opens out into a lotus and thus the name
Padmapada.
Giri was another disciple who was very dear to Sri Adi Sankara. Giri had so
much love for his master; he went about serving his master all day with a
smile. He was Said to be not as knowledgeable as the others were and did not
many times understand what the others were talking. However, this did not
affect him in any way. He was a very loyal servant of his Master.
One day, Giri was washing his Guru's clothes; when Adi Shankara sat down
to begin a lesson on Advaita Vedanta. He however did not start the lesson
saying he was waiting for Giri to come back from his chores. At this,
Padmapada pointed to a wall and Said that it would be the same if Adi
Shankara taught to this dumb object as he taught to Giri. Now, Adi Shankara
wanted to reward Giri for his loyalty and devotion. Thus, he mentally granted
Giri the complete knowledge of all theś āstras (sciences). The enlightened
Giri composed extempore the Totakashtakam, a Sanskrit poem in praise of
the Guru Adi Shankara. Thus, the dumb disciple Giri became Thotakacharya.
The Grace of the Guru can do wonders. The faith and love we have is of
utmost importance. Just believe in the Almighty and trust that everything will
be taken care of.
OM SAI RAM! JAI GURU DEV!

The Pearl Necklace

????????????)
By: Revathy Ramkumar
There was this pretty 8 year-old girl who was checking out at a store with her
mother and saw a plastic pearl necklace. She wanted that necklace very
badly and when she asked her mother if she would buy it for her, her mother
Said, "Well, it is a pretty necklace, but it costs an awful lot of money. I will
buy you the necklace provided when we get home you can clean up your
room & your bed. Okay?"
She agreed and her mother bought the pearl necklace for her & when they
went home, the little girl kept her promise. How she loved those pearls! She
wore them everywhere - to school, bed, and even when she went out with her
mother to run errands. The only time she did not wear them was in the
shower - her mother had told her that they would turn her neck green.
She had a very loving daddy. When she went to bed, he would get up from
his favorite chair every night and read her a nice story. One night when he
finished the story, he asked her, "Do you love me?" "Oh yes daddy! You know
I love you," the little girl Said. "Well, then, give me your pearls!" Daddy Said.
"Oh, daddy! Please, not my pearls!" she Said. "But you can have this Barbie,
my favorite doll. You gave her to me last year for my birthday. And you can
have her tea party set too. Okay?" "Oh no, darling, that's okay." Her father
brushed her cheek with a kiss. "Good night."
Several days later, when her father came in to read her a story, she was
sitting on her bed and her lips were trembling. "Here, daddy," she Said, and
held out her tiny hand. She opened it and her beloved pearl necklace was
inside. She let it slip into her father's hand. “You can have the necklace
Daddy.” She said with tears in her eyes.
SAMARPAN
~ 34 ~
With one hand, her father held the plastic pearls and with the other, he
pulled out of his pocket a blue velvet box. Inside the box were real, genuine,
beautiful pearls & he gave them to her! The little girl was completely stunned
at that beautiful pearl necklace & was overjoyed! He had them all along. He
was only waiting for her to give up the cheap stuff so he could give her the
real thing!!!
Therefore, it is with GOD. He is waiting for us to give up all the material

things in our lives,
which we cling on to
as prized possessions,
so that he can give us
his beautiful treasure
that he has all the time
for us. However, in
order to receive what
HE has for us we have
to give up our desires
first. Why are we
holding onto things,
which God wants us to
let go? Are we holding
onto unnecessary
possessions, which we
have become so attached to that it, seems impossible to let go?
It is so hard to see what God has in the other hand, but we must believe that
God will never take away anything from us without giving us something
precious in its place.
OM SAI RAM.

My holiday experience!
By: Manju Ume
I want to share my holiday experience during which I had an immaculate

darshan of our Sai-Baba. Recently I had been to my native place, Dharwad
(saundatti) which is also my Grand pa’s place. There I planned a trip to
Shirdi. I was looking forward towards the trip, but due to unavoidable
circumstances, the trip was postponed. We all know how much we love Sai
and how much we are excited at the thought of visiting Shirdi.
While I sat in my grandpa house in the mid afternoon after reaching from
Dharwad, in hot sun, I was very much exhausted. My uncle’s son came and
incidentally told about a new temple of Shirdi Sai Baba built there and he
made up his mind to take me there. It was a nice and beautiful temple, though
small, it was built across the bank of Malaprabha River and at the outskirts
of the town. I was overjoyed to see the temple for obvious reasons.
My Eyes filled with tears because Baba brought me here, as I could not go to
Shirdi. We reached temple during mid afternoon ARATI seva. I returned
after chanting madhyan arati and the priest talked to me for some time. He
told me that he was also looking for an opportunity to visit Shirdi and had
not been successful since last one year. In the evening, I went with my mobile
phone with camera and took a short video of this “mini Shirdi temple”. I also
shot an interview of the priest and all the workers and the devotees shared
their experiences of blessings of Sai Baba. I attended the evening arati and
returned home. I returned Bangalore and am planning to go to Shirdi during
June when I would also complete my eleven years of experience in IT
industry.

I believe that if you intend to meet Baba by visiting Shirdi and if your plans
do not materialize, please never be upset. Baba knows the best way to bring
you closer to Him.
Jai Sai Ram

Baba gives me a coin
Hello, my dear devotees of SHRI SAI BABA, The God Incarnate.
I myself have many experiences with the grace of SAI. Even though these
were small experiences, they always strengthened my belief in Sai Baba. I
normally visit BABA’s temple every Thursday. I generally go in a casual
mood thinking that one should be casual and normal in front of God. One
day it so happened that I went to the temple empty handed. I regretted my act
and my inner consciousness asked Baba to forgive my act. I bowed down to
Sai and sat there meditating. But during the meditating time my inner self
didn't let me meditate properly but was still regretting for my ill act of not
getting even a single penny as dakshina for Sai. I opened my eyes after
meditation. WONDERS OF WONDERS! I found a one-rupee coin lying in
front of me. I thanked BABA and immediately put that coin in Hundi .This is
really a miracle of SHRI SAI BABA.

And you were there.
You assured me of your presence everywhere;
Your tender guidance, love and care;
Your protection is beyond compare.

My First Encounter with Sai - How Sai pulled me into His path
By: Sai Baba C.
My dear Sai Bandhus! Sairam, I would like to share my experience with you
how Baba pulled me to His path. I am working in East Coast Railway at Puri
Railway Station since 2004. I was at Divisional Head Quarters at Khurda
Road in a significant post for twelve years until 2004 and my transfer to Puri
was a result of some vigilance allegations.
Though my
name is Sai
Baba, I seldom
visited Sai'
Mandir or Shirdi
during my 50
years of life
since then. My
visits were very
casual even at
Shirdi not with
devotion.
After my
transfer to Puri,
I was to shuttle from Khurda Road where I have a house and family. I was
completely in depression those days, even I suffered heart attack and
Angioplasty was done to me in
September 2005. My financial position was also dwindling and I was
contemplating to leave this world, because of difficult conditions in job, in
health and in finance. I had a strong urge to commit suicide in the month of
May 2007.
SAMARPAN
~ 40 ~
It was 20th May 2007. Around 1 PM, after completion of first half's work I was
going to Hotel for lunch carrying fifteen rupees in my pocket. I did not
notice a tall and old gentle man with white Kurta and pyjama, who crossed
me until he called me with my name 'Sai'. Little surprised I turned and this
gentle man aged around seventy years with mesmerizing smile on His face
was asking me in chaste Hindi 'Could you give me twenty rupees?” I was
surprised that he knew my name and more surprised when he asked for
twenty rupees. Seeing his mesmerizing smile I could not say no to him and
asked him I could
give him twenty
rupees if he
follows me to my
office which is just
a few meters away
for which he
instantly agreed.
He accompanied
to my office, I gave
him twenty rupees,
and he kept it in
bound book. Still
engulfed in
surprise, I asked
him how he could
know my name
when he was to
leave. 'Sai! I am from Shirdi, for me everybody is Sai', he answered. He
further added 'You are passing difficult and hard times now. Take back this
twenty rupees and this Rudraksha'. I had become little sarcastic by then and
was thinking that somebody might have told him about me and he may
demand more money for this worship or that worship. He continued, 'Sai! I
SAMARPAN
~ 41 ~
will come to your house and take these twenty rupees from you after you get
rid of your difficulties'. I interrupted him by asking how you know my house.
With a same smile on his face, he replied' I told you Sai, I am from Shirdi, I
know everything'. I was just watching this gentle man with half disbelief and
the other half sarcastically.
He further continued 'Buy ingredients with this twenty rupees, prepare

Payasam yourself only and feed to a black cow during the first three Thurs
Days of next month and you would be alright'. While I was still in
astonishment, he left and I could not find him again.
I had discussed this with my family members and my younger brother is

Satya Sai's devotee and he told me that was it nothing but the miracle of
Shirdi Sai Baba, who only accepts Daskhina and returns the same and you
can find numerous such instances in Sai Satcharitra. He gave me Sai
Satcharitra in Telugu and asked me to read to know about the instances.
Before 5th June 2007, the first Thurs Day, I had completed two rounds of
parayana.
On the morning of 5th June 2007, I prepared Payasam with the ingredients
that I had purchased with Rs. 20 and put in a banana leaf. I started searching
for a black cow on my bike for two hours but in vain. Cursing myself for
believing some strangers, I was watching TV at my home, when my younger
daughter shouted and called me to find a Black Cow standing in front of my
house, as if was it waiting for me. Tears rolled down from my eyes. I was
blaming myself for my ignorance. Immediately fed Payasam and the cow ate
that not leaving even the Banana leaf.
There was no looking back since then. I gained my lost self-confidence. My

difficulties are receding. It is Sai, only Baba all the way. Now He is my way.
He is my Life. He is my everything.

Two experiences
By: Ankit Khunger
I share with you all couple of real life experiences, which I had experienced
with Sai Baba.
1. It is an incident, which happened two months back. My friend Jaswant was

not having good time in his life.
One day he changed the
wallpaper of his
laptop to a Sai Baba image, which
made him a bit spiritual. The next day he changed the
wallpaper to another picture of Sai Baba. When he did that, he got rid of his
stress and tension, which he had. The look of Baba gave him peace and
comfort. Afterwards he made it his habit to change the wallpaper every day.
Now, he is happy with his job and it is highly possible that he is still
changing the wallpaper everyday so that he can see the divine beauty of Sai
Baba in different pictures. Jai Sai Ram.
SAMARPAN
~ 43 ~
2. It is an Incident that happened a year ago. I was surfing on the net. I was
building a website based on my life. At that time, I had little belief on Sai
Baba. I selected a picture of Sai Baba in which he was giving his blessing by
raising his right hand and then I made it the Logo of the website. I did not use
to believe in God at that time. When I selected it, it became the Logo of the
site but after when I tried to change the Logo I was shocked to see that, I was
unable to change it. I thought it was Sai Baba himself asking me to believe in
God. Since then, the Logo is still the same as Sai Baba perhaps wants it that
way and I am not willing to change it either.

I escaped unhurt by Baba’s grace
By: Palak Vishal
Well I recently had a small experience of Baba’s miracle and thought would
share it with all other Sai devotees.
A week ago, I was

going home from work
in the evening. There
was traffic on the
road. I was riding a
two-wheeler. As I
approached the
signal, I realized it’s
going to turn red soon
and I would not be
able to go pass, so I
slowed my vehicle.
Suddenly behind me
another two-wheeler
who was in a hurry,
and did not want to
wait for the signal, hit
my vehicle, which was
still in motion and
crossed the signal. I lost my balance and fell off the road where vehicles
were just coming behind me. Some of them helped me to get up and I was able
to ride back home. Not a single scratch or a drop of blood was seen. I had
only a small sprain in the ankle. I reached home and in the night when I took
out my cell phone for charging, I saw that it had no display. The display was
lost. And guess what, my cell screen saver is Baba s picture which had gone
SAMARPAN

off. The cell was so well protected in the purse that it had no chance of
breaking. I was able to receive and send calls but the display was gone. It
was a miracle of Baba. He made his picture in the cell got hurt and I escaped
unhurt.

Instructions for Writing and submitting articles
Please note that editing poorly written articles is a highly time consuming
activity especially because the mistakes are too many. Many times the
English is very weak and sentences are not properly formed which takes
quite a lot of effort to improve them. However, we understand that many
times the writer is not fluent in English and so we put in more efforts to
improve those articles. At other times the writer seem to have good command
over English, however writes in a very casual manner with lots of mistakes
and this really adds to our burden. I cannot imagine why someone would not
review its article after writing at least once.
Please note that there are some small things, which you can take care of to
make your article look better.
1. Please do not use SMS style of writing. Do not write “n” instead of
“and”. Do not abbreviate words like “pic” for “picture” etc.
2. Please use capital “I” and not small “i”.
3. Please do not use “……” after a sentence. Use just a full stop.
4. Please do not write “11ish”, if you mean “11 a.m.” or “11 p.m.”.
5. Please do not type everything in capital letters. For eg: “RAM IS A
GOOD BOY. HE HAS A BROTHER AND A SISTER”. This is bad way
of writing. Please type it like this: “Ram is a good boy. He has a
brother and a sister”.
6. Please use a spell checker in the MS Word application or any other
software, which you are using to type and correct all possible
spelling mistakes.
7. If you are sending an article in an attachment over email, please
write your name also in the attached document.
The above are just guidelines with some examples. However, I am sure that
next time when you submit your articles, you will take care of these points.
