From Spain with Love – Where ever there’s peace and harmony, it becomes Shirdi

Sairam friends,

I have a good friend Adolfo who loves Shirdi Sai baba in Spain. I have never met him but know him for past few years. Once in a while he used to wish me during festive times. Couple of days back, He sent a beautiful scenery of Spain and I requested him to send couple of pictures from Spain so that I can present it to devotees.

There are devotees who promise something but they never take efforts to keep their words. My friend sent me two good pictures which I wish to present for you…

Where ever there’s peace and harmony, it becomes Shirdi

He sent me a Photo of his house in Mountain which he calls as Shirdi. Reads his own words

“Although I live at the south, I have a house at the center of Spain, in the mountains. In my inner life, I call it Shirdi. “

Its just a Photo of a House. What makes is special is someone has made us realize Shirdi Sai Baba’s assurance during his life time. Sai has assured “Who ever remembers me, Where ever he goes, what ever he does, I am with him”

May be Sai wants every one of us to feel his presence in our home or where ever we go. It could be your School, University, Office, Any work place, your home or any Good temple.

My friend send another Photo out side his house, a Stone which he perceives as Shiv Ling and worships as God.

This Photo also tells us a story of Faith. We can feel the presence of God every where and every thing. For people who consider it as Stone, its just a Stone and if you have faith and see it as God, God really is there. Devotion on God is the greatest expression one can show and we all must cultivate habit of experiencing Saints and Gods where ever we go in what ever Good we see.

From Spain with Love – Where ever there’s peace and harmony, it becomes Shirdi

There are Sai devotees who live in Shirdi for years but won’t find peace and there are few Sai devotees who never has love in their heart even when they take their family to Shirdi. In 2009, I saw a Lady eagerly looking at some Saibaba’s calender in a Shop in Shirdi. She wanted to buy that for her. Her husband shouted at her and she went away.

There are numerous examples like this when we go to Shirdi to have Darshan of Saibaba but don’t give up our anger and ego a bit. We must get angry with other devotees while having darshan or standing in que. We might have other difficulties too. Let us not forget that Sai expects us focus on him with faith and everything will be alright.

Sometimes a Photo sent by my Sai devotee friends inspires me to write an article. When my friend sent these pictures from Spain, I really didn’t know how to relate it with Sai and divinity and when I started working on it, this thought came into me to write about the presence of God and Saints where ever there is peace and Harmony.

Don’t worry if you can’t go Shirdi

There are thousands of Sai devotees who think that Saibaba exits only in Shirdi and their problem will be solved only if they go Shirdi. Trust me, Its good that you desire to go shirdi and traveling to Shirdi and having Darshan of Sai in Samadhi Mandhir and Dwarakamai is truly auspicious. You must also remember Sai lives every where and every thing. Its all in the way you accept his presence. Keep doing Naam smaran – Chanting of Gods or Saints name when ever you can in mind, Sai will come into you immediately.

The real Shirdi is your soul where Sai Lives peacefully

Keep thinking good and doing good deeds. Do your duty with dedication and be responsible for your family. Spread love where ever you go and be good to people around you. Take care of your parents, wife/husband, children and keep showering them with love and affection.

When there is a misunderstanding, don’t be egoistic. Try to come down and live in harmony.

Sai lives in every home where there is Peace and Harmony

My friend from Spain would have called his house in Mountains for its natural beauty. It also carries in it the essence of Love and devotion. You can’t enjoy the beauty of Nature if you don’t know how to live in peace and harmony with your friends and family. So no matter how bad things get, always go for peace and you remain where you are – With Sai.

Ok friend, I hope you liked what I wrote…

I was really depressed today.My Mom is not well past few weeks. I woke up early, lit lamp and prayed Saibaba to bless my parents with good health and long life. Its OK if i don’t get married as am happy being single. It doesn’t bother me as long as my parents don’t worry about it but please heal my Amma.

My sister moved to another City in U.S,  so that she can take care of her child. A professor has asked her to meet him and by Sai grace it will be nice if she gets a Job here itself so that all of them can live together in peace.

Sai, please make my sister and parents happy

May all good Sai children who reads this find your presence in their heart where you really live – You are our Antaryami – The Saint who lives in our self.

Let there be Peace and Harmony every where go that we can feel the presence of Sai every where.

Though its true Sai lives every where, I still believe Shirdi has its own beauty, its own divinity. Who cannot love the sand of Shirdi which were gifted for having been touched by the holy feet of Sai?

Love,

Venkat
