Sairam friends,
This morning, I was blessed with a dream as if a priest is showing me a pooja we are doing for Lord Dakshinamurthy. Then, he says “There’s a place called Palani”.
This was as if Sai is telling me that he asked me to worship Lord Murugan in Palani hills but I am delaying the trip. So after I woke up, I listened to this beautiful Tamil song – Pazhani Yennum Oorile by Soolamangalam Sisters.
Though I could not make it to Palani hills, I worshipped Lord Murugan behind Saibaba temple and worshiped him deeply. I love this Murugan so much.
One of my little Sis kind of friend was off-line for the past 2 days and I imagined something happened to her..he he..I kept praying when I went to Saibaba temple this evening to this girl, her cousin, my sister and my parents. Finally, she messaged me saying she’s alright and her network wasn’t good enough. I think its a problem in me that when I suddenly see people disappear, I fear something isn’t right with them. I must learn to think positively if I truly am devoted to Sai because Baba will take care of everyone in my life.
The past few month, I changed the way I write in StarSai. I focussed on day to day happenings and how Sai is guiding me during my difficult time rather than writing about Pooja I do for Sai. I changed a lot in the past 4 month especially since my parents kept telling that being too spiritual or religious isn’t going to take me any where. One of the biggest argument at home is when ever they feel am gonna be a saint. Just because I am not getting married, that doesn’t mean I have such ideas. I just live based on what Saibaba instructs me and I know he’s has his own ways of protecting me. None can understand how Sai has helped me.
One good aspect of writing about Songs I saw in dream is that I am trying to be a Sai servant who is one among you. I don’t want to be seen as a spiritualist or even someone too devoted to Sai. I am and always will be one among ordinary Sai devotees who lead their life keeping Sai in their heart. I believe Saibaba also likes me projecting myself like this.
Irrespecting of what I write in StarSai, I continue to do my morning pooja, I go to Saibaba temple in my hometown regularly, I light lamps and I read Sai Satcharita once in a while. Just that I don’t have enough patience to read it continuously like Parayan. I just read 2-3 chapters in Sai Satcharita when ever I feel like.
So what ever you do in life, what ever difficulties or obstacles you face, make sure your love and devotion on Sai is fresh forever. I like to listen to devotees who are hardworking, dedicated to what they do and true to their dear ones. Further, with-standing the calamities in life and still loving Sai matters. Do not loose faith on Sai no matter what happens.
Don’t confuse yourself
Some devotees confuse a lot thinking about some issues in their life. Look. You can’t hurt yourself like this. Let go of people who wanna leave you. Let go of opportunity you can’t get. Let go of desires which doesn’t come true. Just focus on what you “Do” because what you do now can change your life someday. Don’t expect results and get depressed. Instead focus on what you are working on now.
If time permits do any of these pooja but remember what matters in life is not these pooja but immense patience and belief in Saibaba. Pooja is just a small way of communicating your love on Gods and Saints.

Now a days, I am not chanting sincerely as before. Earlier, I used to talk less and hence chanting was always running in my mind. These days, I am not able to shut my mouth even for few minutes and I keep making fun. Irrespective of all that, I do chant when ever I feel like in mind.
Here’s an old article – Chanting sairam sairam sairam 50,000 times a day
Chanting Shirdi Saibaba’s holy name will make you pure
That’s it friends.
I wish to listen to Sai children who are doing good. I get mails from devotees in pain and all I can do is say a prayer in mind to them. Why don’t you people write me when you are happy? I also wish to listen people who are thankful to Saibaba.
Keep chanting Om Sai Ram in mind
Sai will always be with you
Venkat
