Decoding a letter written by an anonymous girl to Saibaba

Sairam friends,

Most Shirdi Saibaba devotees who write me a mail are honest and frank. They introduce themselves to me and very humbly share their problem. Even to these people, I think several times if I should reply. Kindly do not mistake me. I am controlled by Sai. I get some dreams or hints and have to follow his words. I can’t question Saibaba too. May be, he thinks it will be good if I keep calm or I am only going to confuse the devotee more. There are few secrets which I can’t reveal. Sai works in his own mysterious way.

There are very few people who hurt me even more. They write me in such a way that I won’t know who they are, where they are from and what they do? Even when I ask, they just want to know if their problem has an instant solution. Yes. I am making fresh, hot Instant coffee here. Now a days, it has become a trend on the internet to ask for something without even telling who you are. There are few who have this habit of telling “A devotee”. Excuse me! I am not running a call center here. I am also a human being actually spending my time to do little good deeds. You think you are smart?

Anonymous is hurting the internet

This very thought of hiding oneself but seeking solution is what spoils the internet.  What am I going to do?

Even if I give a look, some girls think I am trying them. Now a days, I stopped looking because it hurts me when people are too narrow minded. It happens only in India. Calling us cultured and traditional has made us more inhuman. In the end, where are these girls going to end up? Ha ha…Obviously another life they choose which could either be good or so so. Mean while, why all this hype? Relax and Move on.

I have lived 1000 lives because I listen to stories of Sai children. Hundreds of them and its like living their life for few seconds. 

For all of you people who are pained in some relationship issue, please come out of your narrow mindedness and think “Let him/her live their life and let me live mine.”  Nobody gets a Noble prize for ignoring you and marrying someone else. They just choose the life based on their interests.  After all, Mind changes a million times every minute. So someone whom you loved and trusted dearly can change in a fraction of second. That’s how God made mind to work. The speed of light. That’s how quickly people change.

Anyway, If my physical life is like this, virtually too people show what they are to me.I receive mails where people want to hide themselves from me.

I live in some corner of the world.

I am at home sitting in a room which I call “Dwarakamai”.

I  work at some place where I have all fun.

At night, I go temple if time permits and

I walk in some street, some where in a small town of India if my Mom asks me to get her something from shop.

All the while, I check mails in my mobile. What am I going to do with your demographic data? Its just a human gesture.

If your demographic data is so important for you, then why not ignore Bank account, Passport and yes if you are in India, your Aadhar card. If you can be so open to the place where you want to prove your identity, why not to someone whom you know only by words? Privacy right? If I think about privacy for a minute, I can’t be telling my stories to engage thousands of Sai devotees month over month.

You must also realize I am controlled by Sai and he decides what I am supposed to do. So I can’t simply play around.

Leave of all this issues about people telling their problems and difficulties to me.

Some devotees, in the past had invited me abroad for Sai events. I was not allowed by Sai baba to even write back to them. He asks me to just be where I am because this is the life he wants me to go through. I am not supposed to act as I wish showing my teeth. Sai told me, if You want to travel abroad and spread my fame, do it when you travel with your own hard-earned money.

I belong to Sai and every word I write here is watched by him. If I do a mistake, he immediately punishes me and proves me that I am going beyond the limit. So kindly, be open and true.

I thought, only I am getting such mails and Sai proved me wrong. He himself gets several anonymous letters!

Old note book with the holy name of Saint Yogi Ram Surat Kumar

Couple of days back, I spotted a old note book written in 1996. A devotee has wrote the holy name “Yogi Ram Surat Kumar” hundreds of times. I liked to see this beautiful act of devotion. I like everything which looks primitive and old. The half-white pages, the way it was written and the dates in the corner of the page made me feel how “words” has power to live for ever. The devotee has wrote few pages every day dating – 1.1.1996 unto 2003.

Someone would have kept the notebook in temple as they can’t throw it away. On seeing it, I realized so many people express devotion on true Guru. It made me feel blissful.

I honestly had a desire to know who this devotee was who had written holy name of his/her Guru 19 years back. I searched all the pages but the only name written was in a Kids handwriting – Alamelu. May be, the devotee asked his/her daughter to write her name on the note book. Isn’t that sweet?

Decoding a letter written by an anonymous girl to Saibaba

I looked down to see another fresh white paper lying down in the corner of Dwarakamai. I took it and it read as below..

Saibaba,

I believed in …………………….(I am not telling the guys name written) so much even when others told me something else about him. I trusted him a lot. Now, I realized who is true and who is not. He says that he believes in you but I don’t know if I should believe that. I realized my mistake now. Please bless me to get married without any problems with the guy my Dad chooses from alliance that’s coming. He must not do any problem. Show him right path. My marriage must happen happily and peacefully.

Note – I took a photo of this letter but tore it and dropped in the dustbin. I also changed the content of letter but the meaning remains same.

Analysis 1 – Hiding your name but revealing the guys name. Is it right?

I understood the girls feelings and prayed for her. But I have an issue. If she’s writing a letter to Saibaba without her name on it, why should she write the guys name? I always supported women but here is where many problem begins. Respect privacy of a Man too. Are we not humans?

Analysis 2 – Girls give 2 chances to a guy to prove that they are good

The girl wrote that she went back to the guy after the first breakup even when others guided her not to trust him.  Some Men are really not good. Accepted. But you also trusted this “not so good” guy right? So mistake was also on your part. Why is it that in this country a Man is always blamed? Don’t girls cheat and change?

Analysis 3 – Girls parents seeks for alliance if they come to know their daughter loves someone

Indian Marriages happens with parents permission. We will be like this for another 1000 years poking in our kids life for they have fallen in love with the guy from a lower status or a another caste etc. Have you seen super smart Indian Mother asking her daughter “Who’s on phone?”. Not one girl in this country can escape this question. Your Mom is worried so much about you dear. And this girl too might have given all hints to her parents and they would have started seeking for better Man.

Analysis 4 – Girls have soft corner to the guy they loved no matter how bad he is

The girl wrote to Saibaba asking him to show the guy the right path. So what’s right path? Is it accepting the breakup and letting the girl live her life? He could be any bad but he certainly will go through some pain as far as I know because I am sensitive.

I could see the girl realized that this guy isn’t right for her but she respects him. Many girls don’t even realize this fact. If a Man breaks away from you, why worry so much?

Some Men are not really so broadminded dear. They act really dangerous when you ignore them. So be very careful.  When you start a relationship, think if you can live with this guy forever and if you can convince your parents to marry this guy. Else, better don’t spoil a Man’s life and time. You are also spoiling your peace of mind.

Analysis 5 – Why write a letter to Saibaba? What if someone notices you, picks the letter and learns about your life?

We are not living in 1970’s dear. Its a connected world. So please do not drop such letters explaining your personal life to Sai. Though I don’t interfere in your way of seeking help from Baba, its also not advisable. People can easily track you and disturb you. Better worship Sai in mind. That’s more than enough. Sai comes to you the moment you remember him.

Better keep your prayers in mind. That’s the safest way of praying.

Analysis 6 – Life is beautiful and so I move on

I like this girls letter for one reason.

She has willingness to move on with her life.

Millions of men and women don’t marry the one whom they loved. They face breakup and find peace in someone else. The only thing I hate about Indian marriages is that people marry based on few criteria which are not going to be permanent in life. I felt good that this girl wants to move on and marry the guy her Father finds for her but guys who fall in their criteria may be good or simply so so.

Did we decode the anonymous letter?

We did and I am also offering you information about how to be the most wanted bachelor in India.

Who’s better Bridegroom in India?

This is extra tips I am offering you. Take it for free!

1. He must be tall and fair * Not all families demand this. Thank God. Then most of our girls must wait years for this tall and fair guy to be born.
2. He must earn a lot. 6L is OK. 10 L will be considered. 12 L will be selected.
3. He ……

And it goes on.

There are millions of letters written to Sai. 

Crores of prayers every minute.

Billions of desires.

The poor fakir of Shirdi continues to be silent and hence Sai made me write about the complicated problems faced by the citizens of most cultured country on Earth. If only we call it “cultured”. We just don’t have guts to accept we have become more inhuman trying to live a self-centered life.

This is just one letter which I tried to break-up and decode especially since it remains like an universal template for several relationship problems.

Some where between my lines, I would have touched your life. That’s what I have been doing in StarSai.

I can make you laugh and shed tears!

Invisibly living in some corner of India.

Love,

Venkat
