sairam friends
It was 2004 november when i got a vision that something bad is going to happen to the world..I was depressed not able to have food easily for a weeks time.
I thought to myself may be since i am jobless am imagining myself.
Those days me and my friend Kanna used to go to Kamakshi amman and Annapurani temple on fridays …Thandu maari amman temple on saturdays and then to Nagasai mandhir..
We also go to a ancient shiva temple called kotai eswaran temple in coimbatore….i used to donate cement bags almost every week when ever i can for this temple renovation as i was earning well through Google in 2004.
It was november 19th 2004…
The priest in the kotai easwaran shiva temple asked us to bring pure sandal wood paste to do alankaram to Lord Murugan – Arumuga subramanian .
The pure sandal paste is made in Perur pateeswaran shiva temple…so me and kanna went to perur..had good darshan , got pure sandal wood paste ..gave annadhan to few sadhus and came to kotai easwaran temple for murugans alankaram with sandal wood paste…chandanam.
then we came home in afternoon started again in evening to Annapurani temple…we both came back home ..it was around 8 and a karthigai day when we lit lamps around house.
The screen in hall was lifted up ..so i could see the hall from gate…as soon as i got down the bike i saw asmall girl little girl wearing white dress ..like a frock running into my room from hall…
i was happy thinking some little girl has come home ..may be a friend or relative….once i entered house and came into my room i saw no body…even amma had gone to her friends house.
i was shocked but dint bother it.
That night i got scared thinking who this little girl wearing white frock was….ran to ammas room and slept with parents.
Next evening i told amma that i saw a small girl running with white frock into my room …so got scared ..i told her it was not scary and the girl was like a blessing.
Amma said that may be goddess Maari amman has come home as i am not offering lemon garlands now adays….i offered lemon garland to thandu maari amman that evening…
Even today i think that little girl as Goddess Parvathi herself….may be she knows i will get scared if she came as big lady and so came as small child.
Thats it….
now thats first god sensation in my life…
secondly my previous thought that something bad will happen in world made me think …i realized may be its happening because adharma ( unrighteousness has increased ) . I thought may be we must spread the message of Giving and helping others.
I wanted people to open up their heart and hence was wondering what to do.
From 2003 when ever i travel to Nagasai mandhir i used to imagine that theres a star and in every intersection of the star theres a saibaba and in the centre of star theres a lamp.
I used to do various imaginations relating to star and named that sai as
“Ashta Sairam”
as there were 8 sai in my imagination
…
I decided to make a website to spread the message of humanity and was wondering how to name it…
I was also searching for a good printer to print affordable posters with the following caption
‘Give food to the hunger,
Water to the thirsty and
Clothes to the naked , then God will be pleased “
– Shirdi Saibaba
Somehow i came across a printer who was ready to print 1000 small post cards with sai photo and above caption for 1200 rupees. Vow that itself was a sai leela to me. The printer said it will be delivered on 25th december 2004.
Then i came home and registered the name already choosed
StarSai.com
It was mid night 22nd december 2004 in india and so it shows 23rd december 2004.
StarSai was born on 23rd december 2004 …
I wrote what it is said in Bhagavat Gita, Bible and Quaran about “Art of Giving” …About dharma…
https://www.starsai.com/bhagavad-gita-chapter-giving/
On 25th december 2004 i got the posters and decided the next day onwards i am going to come around holy dhuni in Nagasai mandhir and distribute it to sai devotees who come to temple as gift.
26th morning at 8 Am was worst thing that happened to world…Tsunami….
I realized the intuision Sai gave me was true and was encouraged to spread the message of humanity…
The post card really surprised many sai devotees….
‘Give food to the hunger,
Water to the thirsty and
Clothes to the naked , then God will be pleased “
– Shirdi Saibaba
All these were necessary for those effected by Tsunami…
This was second God sensation for me.
In january 2005 i continued to have visions as if theres a crack from Pune to Tirupati and the sea enters the mid land india spliting it in two halves..i was scared to core and ran to my parents room..I din’t know what to do.
That day i decided i will come around Holy fire of sai…sacred Dhuni in Nagasai mandhir for 4 to 5 hours every evening and dedicate my prayers to Goddess of Nature.
I did that…i told my mom am going to do it for a week…then for a month finally it went on for 2 years…
Many used to like my devotion but few did hurt me…few insult me saying ‘Dont you have any work than coming around dhuni for hours “…some ask me why are you doing it but i hardly answer as people only consider me as fool.
I remember a aunty scolding me since i gave her saibabas photo again and again thinking am behind her daughter….It was rama navami april 2005 when the watchman told me, There are many complaints against you.
The Management asked you not to come around dhuni any more…
I cried a lot that day to sai…
next day i gave a lamp to the watchman and said
“I did good following saibabas commands internally but you asked me not to do it….i dont want you to take that sin…so keep this brass lamp in home and light it everyday”
i told him few other things about sai and he started having tears in his eyes…
Next day when i went to Nagasai mandhir in the evening , the watchman came to me and said “You continue to come around dhuni as you like”
Its december 23rd 2010…
Its Birthday for StarSai friends !
We are entering 7th year…Today i climbed on terrace of temple and offered garland to all big saibaba statues….i did namaskaram on the floor of terrace and prayed for all children in starsai family.
I feel my life will be good only if i marry a girl who loves to serve sai or atleast encourage me to do it….Sometimes i feel everyother thing in world is untrue and what i do for Sai alone is truth.
My dedication in serving sai has reduced a lot in 2010 as i am 32 and feel responsible to make parents happy that their son has a good career and will get married to a good girl.
Probably i failed to do both..i neither served sai properly nor fulfilled my parents wish apart from cleaning the dhuni,filtering udi and some physical work in Nagasai mandhir…
I wish sai shows me the right path….a balance between sai seva and successful wordly life.
Sai alone is truth…i am too soft hearted for this world and sai alone can make me someone.
Happy Birthday StarSai !

The fact that i created StarSai and untill today StarSai being my only wealth makes me feel this is the best Shirdi Sai baba leela in my life. Many think that its website but the years to come will give shape to what really sai wanted me to do for StarSai.
om sai ram
wish u a very happy and blessed new year…
My Dear Brother,
Sai would be always with you.
Thanks,

Sai healing wounds in legs by power of udi and dream
Usually for health related issues, people invariable pray Vaidheeswaran, as His name suggests, He is the doctor of all doctors. I have visited this temple recently. They give us tiny balls (Mann urundai probably, if I am not wrong), which is supposed to be the medicine to cure all the diseases, mental as well as physical.
Sai has done many wonders in our lives, He is the Vaiddeeswaran for me.
I will give you just one of our innumerable experiences.
one day, in May.2003, The doctors in M.S.Ramaiah Hospital here gave us a shock after examining Mohan’s amputed leg. They said that even after continuous periodical check-ups and medication for more than 5 months,the injury on the cut bone doesnt seem to heal. Unless it gets healed completely, we can not be referred to the Artificial limb centre. They said that they have tried all powerful medicines, but in vain. They were discussing and arguing among themselves about the next course of action for speeding up the process of healing.
Mohan was in tears. He was not able to go to the work sites. without inspection. his work can not move on. Many people have already started taking advantage of the situation.
That night I cried aloud in front of sai(I came to know of sai only on April 1st 2003. But within a month He came very close to me, He spoke to me almost daily in those testing days, through one channel or the other-how many dreams, how many visions, how many answers from SSc, Oh! Sai! I love you daa!)
I cried keeping my hand on the injured, dressed part of Mohan’s leg. suddenly I came to a conclusion, took out the bandage, instead of applying Ointment, that night I applied only Udhi.
I had a dream that night that one of my father’s muslim friends, (when I was very small, he used to come to my house very often, I was calling him as annachi. ) was holding Mohan’s hands and saying:
–Come on, you are going to do it, walk, umm, walk –in an ordering tone & I saw Mohan walking with a stick sort of thing. this dream inculcated confidence in both of us.
that day, we as usual went for the dressing. The doctors were wonderstruck to see the wound completely healed.
With tears in our eyes, I expalained to the Doctor that I applied only shirdi Sai’s udhi the previous night. He agreed, yes this is a miracle he said, he took some photoes of Sai from us to distribute among the ailing patients.
Venkat, namma Sai babavai thavira oru periya Doctor undaa?
Udhiyai vida periya our marundhu dhan undaa.
Take care Venkat
