Is Sai Baba responsible if a man or women assures he/she will marry you while in a Sai baba temple

sairam friends,

Many things happens in a temple. The most common thing is people promising their family members or friends that they will give up a bad habit , they will try to be good etc. The worst cases are when man and women who are in love goes to a near by Shirdi Sai baba temple and prays sai baba. This man will keep kumkum on forehead and as if we see in Movies , bells also will do its work and then man will say “I will surely marry you “. At times women also assures her friend that she will surely Marry him when they are in a saibaba temple.

Now the reason i wrote this article …

I am hurt friends..few month back a lady mailed me saying her friend promised her surely he will marry her while they were in saibaba mandhir and this man also kept kumkum in her forehead. Later due to some family issues, the man married some one else. I tried to console her saying may be saibaba has a better husband for her. The man is “sai devotee ” and he cheated me. This happened in saibaba temple only etc.

Her anger was on me too… then imagine how much she would have scolded our sai. I wont say she’s wrong. The very reason i write this article is to let all sai devotees learn the basic fact.

To Sai, entire world is dwarakamai. Sai loves every where as he is omnipresent. So it doesn’t make any difference when someone assures you in a saibaba temple and later fails to keep their promise. And just because someone assures or commits some thing to you standing in saibaba temple and coincidently bells also rang, that surely can’t be taken as Saibaba’s approvel. Who knows for whom sai rang the bell…May be its for some old women praying for her health or a kid praying to do well in studies.

It truly hurts sai and also a ordinary person like me when men and women takes word or action of their friends in saibaba temple to heart, they even marry and in the end they think saibaba has not helped them.

Now lets sum it up…

Kumkum is very auspicious . I used to do kumkum archana chanting any gods mantra and being a man i wonder why i love doing it. Kumkum – the red sacred powder used by Hindus represents Aishwaryam – prosperity of all kinds including good health and long life.

Please for Gods sake, do not use kumkum to show your love before marriage.You can give it in hands but don’t apply on forehead of a women and in the end make her believe something good is going to happen between you and finally when it doesn’t happen she gets hurt.

Secondly, what ever we do in world, can we say Saibaba is responsible for it, same way what ever you experience in saibaba temple, happens in front of sainath. i Agree. But that doesn’t mean sai takes responsibility for your or your friends behaviour.

Men and women who are in love can go to saibaba temple or any temple and light lamps , Do chanting- naam smaran sairam sairam sairam, sing or atleast listen to Shirdi Saibaba aarti , try to see if you can do any good deeds but please don’t take hints from sai like getting flowers, bells ringing, priest telling something etc. My humble request is only when you are married keep kumkum or other traditions followed in our culture.

Life can’t be a movie to really happen as we dream friends. Young girls and guys can show their love on saibaba but most of the time we have to watch the GURU inside us.  The Sai who in you guide you to take proper decisions in life.

Apart from this lovers also gets some dreams from saibaba or lets say they received udi or sai photo, book from some friend or even a sms matters them and they innocently take it as a positive sign from sai..May be..Every thing that comes from Sai is a holy prasad but who knows how worser is our fate ? ( our sins of past birth )

Take me itself for example..if all the dreams about the girl i wish to marry in the past few years, if all the hints sai gave or i imagined sai gave had come true i would have married long back.

I understood gradually that saibaba has rights to assure us something and later not do it also. When we are totally surrendered to sainath, we must accept the truth that our guru has freedom to change his assurance too. Sai alone knows answers. Our Duty is to show him love. So much love that sai himself feels surprised for having us as his little children.

Sai Ki jai

Sai durga bless you
