Sairam friends,
The past few days, I have been trying to practice Lalitha Sahasranamam. I had always remembered and worshiped Goddess Lalithambigai but a month back, Saibaba blessed me with a dream as if I a reciting Lalitha Sahasranamam sitting in an old house and being blessed. The surprising aspect about the dream is that I am reciting Lalitha Sahasranamam by heart.
So I started practicing the sacred sloka watching videos on YouTube and by reading from a book. I am not sincere in practicing but somehow, managing to recite once in a while.
This is something I wish to do because Work from home gives opportunity to listen to some divine mantra while we do the work.
In my previous company, I had a manager who was very kind but also did something which hurt me. She got me into problems which really was very painful. During that time, Saibaba made me realized, only educated people are so bad these days but someday, their bad karma will hurt their life.
Eventually, she lost her job but I was sad that day as I saw the good nature in her during the years she was my manager.
Later, I never spoke to her but there’s one way, I remembered her.
Once, she gave me a small photograph in which there will be very small photograph along with the names of all the 12 Jyotirlinga across India.
Somnath in Gir Somnath, Gujarat
Mallikarjuna in Srisailam, Andhra Pradesh
Mahakaleswar in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh
Omkareshwar in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh
Kedarnath in Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand
Bhimashankar in Maharashtra
Vishwanath in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh
Trimbakeshwar in Nashik, Maharashtra
Vaidyanath in Deoghar, Jharkhand
Nageshvara in Dwarka, Gujarat
Ramanathaswamy in Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu
Grishneshwar in Aurangabad, Maharashtra
Every morning, I used to offer a flower to the photograph of Jyotirlinga which has Kailash Mountain in the middle of the photo.
This is how the list of Jyotirlinga is written in Tamil
Somnadhar
Omkareshwarar
Rameshwarar
Mahakaleswarar
Grishneshwarar
Mallikarjuna
Nageshwarar
Vaidhyanadhar
Bhimashankar
Vishwanathar
Trimbakeshwarar
Kedarinadhar
Here comes the best part. It took me just 30 seconds for me to offer a flower to this photograph of Jyothirling and simply read out the names of all the Jyothirlinga temples in India.
I was surprised even for this small expression of devotion, Saibaba blessed me with the following dream.
It was as if my Manager in previous company is sitting in a hall and I am also there along with few in my family and friends. Suddenly, I tell her, though you hurt me a lot, I only see the good nature in you.
Then, I tell everyone, that she gave a photograph of Jyothirlinga as a gift for which I am offering flower every morning. I also read out the names of all the Jyotirling temples.
The dream was so vivid and sweet in which Saibaba made me realize how to behave in work place, business or to any one in society.
There are good and bad people everywhere. In some situation, even good people will harm us and it will be humiliating. This Manager even did something so bad that I would have lost my job. Somehow, Sai protected me.
Even then, Saibaba showed this dream to help me understand that she’s harmless and I should not hate her anymore. I gain nothing in seeing her in a good light now after all these years. But probably, Sai doesn’t want me to hate anyone even if they have harmed me.
As long as the person has realized their mistake, its important that we only see them in a good light and respect them.
I usually see people whom I had worked with in past and present in dream. I also see strangers whom I am going to meet in dream. Saibaba has used dreams to guide me for several years.
I feel that Saibaba takes his devotees through the path of devotion to wash away our bad karma.
You can either worship Shirdi Saibaba himself or show devotion on any God, Goddess or true ancient saint. Saibaba will be happy about it. Eventually, I come back to Sai no matter whom I worship because it is Sainath who inspires to show devotion.
Saibaba uses different ways to help each one of his devotee. To me, he probably has choose the path of devotion on various Gods and Goddess and also transforms me to be a better human being.
My heart is overwhelmed with gratitude on our Sai at this moment for always being there for me. I am worried these days about my future. As parents get old, I wonder how my life will be?
Somehow, Sai has always given me a hope. I believe, my love on Sai and Devotion on all Gods and Goddess will surely transform my life and bless me with happiness.
I wish the same happens to you. Please try to show devotion on Sai and Gods you love. Your life will be good.
Om Sai Ram

I dream of Shiva temple and Lingam most time in my dream! I dont know what to do about it. Where I live in USA.. the closest temple is in 2hrs drive which is not possible for me to visit. I dont know why Baba shows me Shiva in my dream. Baba is the only one whom I worship!!!
Regarding your future… I can understand very well… Its hard when parents get old and you are all by yourself 🙁 I hope SAI will find someone for you very soon. Keep us updated!
