Sairam friends,
I had a website dedicated for Safe driving but deleted it since I had no time to add content. I still had plans of relaunching an automobile website. There are quite a few mails I receive from Sai devotees related to driving and being saved from accident etc. Further, many people across the globe do have fear of driving and I wanted to re-launch the site when I find time.
Here’s a devotees experience which will inspire people who are new to driving to drive with confidence
Dear Sai Venkat,
Hope you’re doing good by Grace of Sri Sai Baba.
I had this experience in Jan 2013 and only today by Sai’s grace I am able to write my miracle or experience.
It would be great if you can include this on Devotee’s experience page.
Om Sai Ram
My name is Vijay Ramaswamy and this is my third post on this modern Sri Sai Satcharitra . It always gives me an amazing, elated feeling to share my experience on this blog. I profusely thank Sri Venkat to create such a beautiful and modern Sri Sai Satcharitra where all Sai devotees can post their experience on this blog. I thank one and all for sharing their wonderful experience about our beloved Sri Sai Baba.
I have an experience to share with all my Sai Devotees, I had purchased an 2001 Santro Car, basically I am very novice driver and still continue to be. Hope by Sri Sai Baba grace I gain confidence in driving my car by the time this experience is posted. I took my 2001 Santro car for spin for some reason I felt I was a very good driver but I lacked confidence and thought nothing untowards should not take place. But as mentioned with my novice driving skill close to my place I had accident and hit an motorbike, as usual everyone surrounded me and I was scared, in my mind I kept calling Sri Sai Baba for help. I was out of my wits as more people started surrounding me. This happened in January 2013.
Later Traffic cops were called to determine who was at fault. Me and my wife was so scared that we were almost speechless and anticipated something worst going to take place. But to my luck there was an young man in his 20’s coming to our rescue, he informed the people and traffic cops that I was not at fault and the one in the motor bike had taken the wrong lane which resulted in the accident, moreover people who initially surrounded me starting giving me confidence that I was not at fault and since they are local of this place they would ensure my protection, an old man in his late 70’s approached me and said don’t worry everything will be alright. There were two people in the motorbike and out of which the rider of the bike had minor bruises , nothing serious, he was taken to the hospital for bandage.
I followed him and ensured he was medicated. I apologized the rider of the bike and he immediately forgave me and said there is nothing to worry and I shared the same with the pillion on the bike.I was happy that nothing major had happened.
Meanwhile, there was another driver in an different vehicle (car) who kept on accusing me of the way I drove the car and infact asked for money as his car had dent and he kept pestering the traffic cop to see his car and wanted to sue me for my negligence but the traffic cop did not budge as I was aptly supported by the locals and they ensured I was not guilty. With locals and traffic cops and moreover through Grace of Sri Sai Baba I was not fined and through co-operation of one of the traffic cop the matter was put to rest.
Infact the traffic cop asked me only Rs 500/- to close the case, this was basically done to safeguard me, tomorrow if any of these person wanted me to sue they cannot do. I was happy and took my car back home. Two strange thing which came to my mind, first who was the young man in early 20’s, he introduced me as my cable guy but not once I had seen him come to my house and after that incident I had never seen him in the vicinity and second who was the old man in his late 70’s who briskly walked upto me and gave me confidence that nothing would happen to me. After the incident I could not trace both.
I finally came to conclusion that it was only our merciful Sai Baba who had assumed two forms to get me out of this mess. I forever indebted to Sri Sai Nath for pulling me out of this situation. Throughout the incident I was tensed, did not know what’s going to happen thereby actually missing out to recognize Sri Sai Baba.
My Koti Koti Pranam to Sri Sai Baba for helping me out of this dangerous and precarious situation. I have no words to express my gratitude to Sri Sai Baba who made himself available to me at time of danger. I have still not taken up driving full fledge after the incident but I am sure through Grace of Sri Sai Baba the ever merciful I shall drive my car with confidence. Jai Sai Ram.. Sorry for posting this experience late but it was only today that it occurred to me that this incident needs to be shared with my Sai Devotees.. that our Dear , Beloved Sri Sai would never leave their devotees in despair come what may, he is there to grace his blessing on us.
My faith in Sai Baba had further strengthened after this incident and hope my dear Sai Devotees hope you feel the same. My apology Sri Sai Baba if I have missed out on anything.. You made me an instrument to pen down this miracles of yours. I feel blessed every day of my life .
Om Akhilananda Koti Brahmand Nayak Rajadhi Raja Yogi Raja Parabrahma Samartha Shri Sachidanand Sadguru Sai Nath Maharaj Ki Jai
Jai Sai Ram,
Vijay Ramaswamy.
Hope you like this friends. Sai Baba uses people around us and even strangers to rescue us from such situations. So keep remembering Sai and drive with confidence.
Venkat
