Jai Sri Krishna

Sairam friends,

I had been to Madurai with my parents and had various experiences. I thought of writing those stories to you but decided not to tell everything happening in my life. Let me hide few things ( at least). We had been to Madurai Meenakshi Amman temple about which I shall write later.

There’s this very small Lord Krishna Temple near my relatives place where I went before 2 years on April 30th 2011. Sometimes, I remember dates and time of what I did in past. This time too,I decided to go to this little Sri Krishna temple. I was the only person in the temple. The priest welcomed me with a smile.

He showed Aarthi to Lord Narayan, Sri Krishna and Hanuman. Then he gave the Thirtha and also many flowers like Lotus as prasad. I sat there looking into the beautiful divine face of Sri Krishna and felt really blissful. Like we say ‘Sairam”, I have seen few ardent devotees of Lord Krishna say ‘Jai Sri Krishna”. So I kept chanting “Jai Sri Krishna”.

Meditating on Sri Krishna

After few minutes, I closed my eyes and started meditating on Sri Krishna and felt really good.I wish to do such meditations once in a while when ever I get opportunity. When I woke up my eyes and looked at Sri Krishna, I felt as if Krishna is speaking to me.

Then I lit 3 lamps near Garudalwar, bowed to Sri Krishna again and started.The priest asked me where I am from and I said, I come from Coimbatore.

I was worried a lot due to lots of disappoints and lots of happenings during this trip. I was not able to sleep day before yesterday due to severe pain in my shoulder. I kept thinking about my life and also told Baba few things I can’t write here. I am very certain this pain is not because of any strain etc. Its really scary and only Saibaba can heal me. I am going through something these days and believe Sai will cure me from this problem.

Since my Ma cannot travel in Bus, we had to take a passenger train from Madurai to Palani. It was so crowded in the train and a family gave space for my Ma to sit. Then we took Bus to return back. As they get old, they are not able to travel at ease.

Anyway, You too must meditate on your favorite God or Shirdi Saibaba when ever you get opportunity to sit in peace in any temple or at home. You will feel the presence of God and Sai in your life.

OK friends.

While I was in Madurai, I kept thinking if I should write my experiences I had over there. It was really something I never wanted to face but seems my sins in previous birth is so bad that Sai wanted me to go through it.

Sai wants me to go through sufferings and endure and remain calm and Saibaba is taking care of me

Lately, I feel all of you are having privilege of knowing about my life and I am telling you everything like a fool. May be Sai wants me to keep few experiences with myself for time being. When the right time comes, I shall write more.

I just wish to show these quotes from Holy Gita

“Vigour, an attitude of forgiveness towards others. Courage, purity, goodwill towards others and freedom from pride. All of these, dear Arjuna are considered by Me to be the great characteristics of a man who possesses a divine nature and has come into this world from heaven.”

Our main purpose of Madurai visit is to see my Sister’s inlaws who had come from U.S . Amma made some stuff for sister and also we wanted to give the dress we took for Katya. I was happy to meet them as I love them a lot. We had dinner together and since my my Sister’s FIL was working as a faculty in PSG in 1980’s when one of the director of the organization( where I work now) was his student( and he considers his as his Guru. This is the reason I believe being a teacher/mentor is a worthy job as you can directly inspire many students which they will remember all through their life.)

He asked me about whats going on in the company? I told him all the good things and also where they need to improve.

I also told him about whats happening in the Industry and what I plan to do in the next couple of years. I fell in their feet and got their Ashirwad. When ever I meet someone elderly, I fall in their feet and its been a habit the past few years.

My sister has sent me a Perfume and I am going office now with the fragrance my Sister sent me.

Call it fragrance of Love. My sisters love on me.
