Unforgettable experience

[Ashok]

On 8th of February I appeared for US Business VISA application/interview.....my passport was retained and they told me that my VISA is approved but they need to do some administrative processing which could take 4/6 weeks or even more.....I was disappointed by this as my trip was important for my work.....I was actually quite sad about it....I am/was not a potential immigrant to US and the purpose was only business and i was really looking forward to it....I was upset...

A few days before VISA interview, i had a dream in which i saw Baba at my house in Rajasthan....i touched his feet and it was a wonderful feeling....Baba looked like Ganesha actually in physical appearance.....I felt nice to have the dream as there are only a handful of dreams in which Baba had appeared to me....

During the month long wait period, the images of dream would often flash into my mind and i would feel a lot of relief and happiness because of that....and i felt that Baba knew that i would be sad because of waiting for VISA and hence he appeared in my dreams so that I would have something to hold onto and find happiness in that.....

A month later I got VISA and it was just the perfect time for travel, project wise....if i had traveled earlier, it might not have been very fruitful......Baba knows everything....He not only helped me in my work, he also helped me by appearing in dream....

In between the wait period, I visited Puttaparthi with my daughter and wife and i never knew that it was the last time i would see Baba in his physical form....It brings tear to my eyes to write this, we visited Puttaparthi around two months back and we really missed Baba's physical form......Ashram felt lifeless and without Baba....How much we miss you Baba....Love you Baba....

What a wonderful gift you received from Swami, Ashok. (Padnamaska).
He is constantly with us, in us, everywhere. Yes ... I too miss His physical form, but this is the way of God. ALWAYS mysterious.

Dear Shri Ashok, You have received bountiful grace, that Baba blessed you and your family before He left his physical frame. Also he looks after the welfare of each and every individual, though we may fail to have constant contact internally. The way, the forum developed itself is a miracle. Swami willed the Forum through you and many have benefited by this. May Swami guard and guide all of us whether we are in touch with Him or not. Swami has also revealed to many that they may severe their connections with Sai but Sai will NEVER do so. With regards. Saisaran.

Hi Wayne and Nagraj ji,

Thank you for your reply. This forum gave me something more meaningful to do in my life. I am forever indebted to everyone who is part of this forum. The growth of the forum has been slow but steady, i am sure it will reach to many more people in time and keep growing everyday.

Baba has made this forum happen and He will continue to bless all of us through this forum.

Thanks again for being part of the forum. Om Sai Ram.

You know i have always been lazy in writing about my experiences. However, since last 2-3 days, i have been reading spiritual experiences with Sai Baba shared by people on other websites and i thought, I would share mine.

I am outside India now on a business trip and would be returning next week. Around 4 days back, i slipped and because of that i started having pain in my groin area because of muscle pull/tear. Such a thing had happened to me in India also while playing sports and i was afraid that it would take at least a week to heal completely. Walking was difficult. Once i sat on chair, i took me a minute to get up from there. Getting up from bed was an ordeal. Any sudden movement was painful. I prayed to Baba on thursday night and read umpteen experiences of devotees to give me peace of mind and forget about the pain. I asked baba to heal me because i was not in India and i could not afford to stay in that condition. Earlier I had decided to stay in hotel next day and abstain from work, but later i affirmed that Baba would heal me and i would continue with my work.

And next morning, i got up slowly only to realise that my pain was reduced to just 10% and i could walk freely without any pain.

I have no words to express my  gratitude, afterall we never say thanks to our father, right? We just love you Baba for your constant presence in our lives.

My day to day lifeitself is a great miracle i feel so

[Ashok]

you are right Vidyaji. It needs different set of ingredients to hold onto such thought. Wish i could see the same way as you do. Though i must say that i have plenty of gratitude to everyone who is part of my life and i believe it is a huge blessing to be born as human and also in someway to overlap our stay duration with Baba.

Guess you are doing fine with everything. It is quite some time since your last visit.

i am always surrounded by health problem. in 365 days i will be totally fine , may be say for 15 days, other days problem take turns to come and go.
but nowadays i dont worry for all these things.. i have taken it this way... whatever comes to me will be cured. its my karma that i am facing health problems. no one can take my problems. its me who has to bear it. i dont take any medications fearing the worse consequences that medicine would do to me..

I drink plenty of water thats all.. for each problem i have my own way of curing with swamis blessings. when anything aggravates beyond my bearing i take vibhuthi water . and it does wonders thou after     2 or 3 days . but when i look back i really understand that its only because of swami that i am getting cured..

i also think my problems in this way.. may be due to swami 's blessing i am suffering this much or else it would have been something worst than this..

no doctor knows what exactly an individual body needs at a particular moment of illness. they have their own general drug which may be adverse for some.

so i dont go to doctor.. whatever comes stays for 3 to 4 days.. my findings.

If u go to a doctor and talk about ur problem in detail it makes us feel silly from their point of view...

who are doctors ? just like us who studied that field.. i take it that way

there are no good doctors nowadays as it used to be before.. When we had said a problem there would be a correct diagnosis those days

but these days doctors are after money
we have to talk about the problem and we ourself have to guess about certain medicine and tell them that it does nt suit me.

 so whats the point in going i feel so

i just bear silently.. just drink 3 litres or more  of warm water a day compulsoryily. get up early at 5 do pranayams and start my day. Not a day has gone dull thinking of my health problem and have i avoided doing my routine for the family..

in my free time i am writing recipe blogs too. just for killing the time in the afternoons.my idea of blog came because my son needs varieties when he comes from school haha

Swami is always with me always .tthat is a strong belief i have... i dont go to temples too much when i see my god in me and with me/

My philosophies are different haha. not the one with all .

Sairam! As i have thought, you are not well and hence the absence is felt. Regarding your views on Doctors, i agree with you cent percent. My cupboards and drawers are filled with tablets and medicines. I have changed several Doctors. Nothing works out. It is not for me but for my wife who is a severe diabetic. Swami alone makes it possible for her to take care of the family in spite of three doses of insulin injections and cartoons of tablets. I too sometime feel that it is worthless to go to Doctor but when the condition turns severe, we have to perforce go to the Doctor to satisfy our little ego along with a dose of Vibuthi. It is a miracle of sort that Baba let us continue in our conditions and let the cores of the household also go to an extent. Otherwise if we are hale and healthy our monkey minds won't allow us to concentrate on Swami! Sairam once again.

Diabetic is such a problem for which there is no proper medicine.I would like to suggest a medicine for her in this regard.My mother  too was a diabetic patient . I lost my mother when i was 20ys. I am very much worried about that diabetis because being heriditary it might stick to me too, But if possible ask her to do kapal bhathi pranayam regularly..For this u can watch Astha channel in which Swami ramdev teaches the method of doing it every morning.

here is the link i am giving.

http://www.yogamax.net/pranayama/kapalbhati

There is also a medicine  called Triphala churnam. U can search in web and see the benefits of it . and take it. All can have irrespective of ages and diseases. U can approach tambaram Sanatorium for NATIONAL SIDDHA HOSPITAL. Siddha medicine is always safe to use though the benefits will result slowly., yet there are no other side effects

There is also a medicine called Chakkarakolli churanam or tablet form. for diabetic.

But apart from all these there must always be a strict diet control and eating of food on time..No vrathams are encouraged for any disease.. Swami himself have said that There is no need to keep vratham by fasting .Everything comes only after our health .. i feel so.,I am nearing 40. I have stopped taking oily items even though prepared by me for any occassion,Controlled on salt intake , sugar intake , spicy items. junk food . Whenever we go for an outing ,say for eg to t.nagar , i get up early pack the afternoon food and go and eat  inside our car when the clock struks one. I have seen many shops where there are queue for eating in hotel . how pathetic..

Drinking of water in the early morning after brushing that too warm water and doing kapalbhati ,and anulom vilom will definetely reap good benefits.

I have seen my mother suffer to the extreme due to diabetic.. She became totally blind, Suffered kidney problem to the core and finally passed away due to heart attack.. These are themain three things which will be affected for a sugar patient..Calmness and happiness is more important than anything else..medicines are secondary.

Though i am younger in age as of ur daughter yet i felt like telling these things.

My routine is the same as i have told u above regarding drinking water and doing pranayam..There is no necessity that t hese things has to be followed only after we are affected by a disesase or a problem.All can follow these simple method..Swami Ramdev has said in a jovial manner a statement.

PEOPLE SPEND SO MUCH MONEY ON DOCTORS , MEDICINES, FITNESS MACHINES ETC,, BUT OXYGEN WHICH IS FREELY AVAILABLE IN THE ATMOSPHERE IS NOT UTILISED FULLY..See how true the statement is..We forget to breathe properly , and there begins the problems.After a problem comes its difficult to correct it and it may take some time, but when we get ourselves conscious of these matter before the problem creeps in , see how beautiful this world will be..

Human body need 3 litres of water a day..Just think how many drink 3 litres unless thirsty? I have made a routine for myself..I get up at 5 in the morning, brush and drink warm water 1 litre...After breakfast i drink little water. Then in the afternoon i just go to the neighbours place to have a humourous chat for 2 hours just to pass on the afternoon time.. and also to avoid afternoon sleep. That time i carry with me a bottle of hot water 1 litre .In that two hours i complete that 1 litre and come home.. Similarly in the evening to night  i some how drink the balance 1 litre sometimes it may be more too. but my routine of drinking 3  litres gets completed in a day. People tease me for fun that i am a small kid carrying water bottle whereever i go. 
Me ane my water bottle are  trademark to recognise me.
 The time i step out of my house be it to my neighbour house or far away , i carry my bottle..

My intention here was not to bore u of my stories . but humour is part of our life isint?

So have a good life ahead are my wishes.
