Sairam friends,
On Saturday evening, I had been to a Lakshmi Narasimhar temple. I walked in a small road oppostite to this temple as that’s where the temple’s statue was kept before 60-70 years. I like this place as there’s a huge tree and people who take care of the temple speak nicely. I worshipped Lakshmi Narasimha and then drove to Saibaba temple.
On Sunday, I was at home until evening and really got bored as I am not doing any work during weekend these days. I went to Saibaba temple during evening. I sat inside the main hall and recited Aarti from my mobile during Dhoop Aarti. I never have patience to sit in a place during Aarti but these days, I try to do it since Saibaba blessed me with a dream as if I am reciting Aarti.
One of my friend called up to know as we usually go for a walk in Saibaba colony. I had told you people about him. He’s not educated and does some odd job. Recently, he had been to Shirdi for 15 days to do seva. As we started walking, he told me some of his experiences in the recent past.
Seems, he had regularly visited a temple of another religion ( Not going to let you know which religion) for the past 3 years. He would simply sit there, spend some time and go out. Recently, he has smiled to a little girl as she was only 6-7 years old and smiled to him playfully.
Later, the little girl has ran to her Father and told “This guy tried to photographed me”.
During their next visit, the Father of this child has come to him and said “You have kissed my kid”.
He was shocked and told him “This is a good plan to get me into problem. If you are born in good family, you won’t be doing all this”.
Few other men has gathered and thankfully the watchman in the temple has supported this guy saying he will just come, sit calmly and go back.
He left the temple feeling disheartened.
The security has called him over phone and told him “Those people even checked CC tv camera to see what you were doing. They can’t find any proof but they still insisted that they must give complaint to commisioner and hence never come to this temple again.”
This guy felt bad that people are getting excitement by blaming others.
I told him not to go to such temples any longer.
Please don’t blame innocent people just to feel excited. I think even the little kid was taught to blame others as if they bothered her. Her Father hyped it just for excitement. We are loosing humanity by doubting everyone whom we come across in day to day life.
If you see everyone as strangers, none will become your friends or none can do good to you.
In the recent past there are many cases in which innocent people are beaten up assuming they came to kidnap kids. If you doubt someone, its good to be careful but don’t harm them physically. Do not trust messages on social media and harm others.
Later, he kept telling me about the News he read on News paper and spoke me about various cities in India.
We walked back to Saibaba temple when the Shej aarti was going on.
I spoke to my Sister and Katya on Google Duo and slept off hugging Sai book. Katya has planned to take me to the library from her home for a walk everyday! That’s someone I would love!
Sai blessings
