Saw my house in Shirdi where devotees come to Stay

Sairam friends,

Yesterday I was really upset and depressed. I don’t know what’s going to happen in my life and if Sai ever wish that my parents deserve happiness. I controlled myself from calling my friend as I felt she’s busy with her life. I really don’t like disturbing anyone unless they are seriously interested in me.

I shed tears to Sai asking him to at least guide me in dream. I had a dream as below.

Saw my house in Shirdi where devotees come to Stay

I felt as if my House is actually in Shirdi. The same house in Coimbatore but it seems we are in Shirdi. I saw one of the girl at work whom I saw last night coming with her family and stays in our Pooja room which is my room. Since I sleep with parents, I give the room for her parents and her to stay. Next day, they have Darshan of Saibaba in Samadhi Mandhir.

I also  see one of my friend who recently got married.

That’s the dream and I really was not happy for the dream as it upsets me when ever Sai shows someone at work in dream. I felt may be they are planning to go Shirdi and so prayed for this girl.

Years back, I made ShirdiHotelsOnline.com but didn’t really list many hotels. Its just a guidance for Sai devotees

My past experience

It 2009, I had a friend from Malaysia who used to mail me looking at StarSai. She kept telling that she want to come to Shirdi alone. I told her, its not safe to come alone. So it will be nice if she brings her parents or brother. She kept telling “Baba irukaaru”….Baba is there.

I have a elderly friend in Shirdi who leads a saintly life. So requested him to take care of her. She had planned a trip for 10 whole days in Shirdi.

The first two days, she was exited for her stay in Shirdi and used to tell me she had darshan in Samadhi Mandhir, Dwarakamai, went here, there etc.  On the third day night I got a call from her and she was crying like anything. I asked her what happened.

She said, While standing in que for Samadhi Mandhir, some guy misbehaved with her and she could not do anything in crowd. I told her she must have slapped him or shouted at him so that other devotees would have helped her. She is a dumbo and had went to Sai Samadhi and cried. This guy has kept following her all the while.

It doesn’t happen always but make sure you don’t go alone to Shirdi. Better go with your parents or any guardian like relatives. Shirdi is Safe but sometimes things like this happen. You must shout, Get help from devotees or immediately report to Sai Sansthan authorities or Police near by if such problems happen.

Next day on wards my elderly friend has accompanied her where ever she goes as she was fearing a lot. He finally called me and said ‘I can’t take care of this girl anymore. Shall I ask her to come to Coimbatore and stay in your home?. You can take her to few temples”

I told my parents about the situation and they agreed..Semma Dose…They scolded me like anything.

Since my parents were away for first 2 days, I requested one of my close Family friends in Coimbatore to help her stay in their house and that aunty was very kind to accommodate he. It was easy for her to come to Shirdi but I really suffered to arrange things for her.

Then on third day she came to our house and stayed for couple of days. We took her to few Temples. We cancelled her ticket from Mumbai to Malaysia and booked from Coimbatore- Chennai- Kuala Lumpur. Her Sisters and Brother thanked us for helping her stay safe in India.

Though my parents agreed to help the girl in such situation, they were really angry with me and told me, “Saibabaku seva pandrenu soleetu, ipidi ponungala thaniya vara solaatha”

“Don’t think you are doing Seva for Saibaba and let girls travel alone to Shirdi. If something happens to them, you can’t answer their parents”

My parents took care of her and we also showed her few Temples around. Indha lachanathula rumor vera. One of my Mom’s relative came home and asked Venkat indha ponna love pandraana.My Mom morachify me and said “Illa, Avan Sai friendu”

In India, if a girl comes home, immediately she’s taken for girl friend, the girl whom you are in love etc. Think how I would have felt trying to help devotees and getting into such problems? Since my parents are broadminded, they showed concern for the girl and realized its important to help her than to worry about what others might think.

My parents scolded me a lot that am only going to get in to problems if I innocently guide girls like this and finally if something goes wrong, We have to be responsible. Though She was a good Sai sister for me, I also got irritated with this girl always telling me “Baba irukaaru” “Baba irukaaru” and coming to Shirdi all alone.

I told her, My parents are old and this experience is enough for me. Here after, I will never guide anyone to go to Shirdi especially if they are girls.  A year later, She got married in Shirdi itself booking a Hall in a Hotel and seems many relatives has come from Malaysia to attend her marriage.

My request

I believe Sai showed me this dream because Sai wants me to tell you few things. Desiring to go to Shirdi is fine but make sure you keep the following in mind

1. You don’t borrow money from others to go to Shirdi. Sai asked a devotee ‘Why borrow money from marwadi”…meaning he doesn’t like anyone coming to Shirdi when they can’t afford it

2. Go with like minded friends or Close relatives like Parents, Brother,Sister or relatives. That’s Safe for you if you are single girl.

3. I don’t encourage men and women who are not married to go to Shirdi but I can’t stop it. Think about it. There’s no guarantee that you are going to get married for sure.

4.There are youngsters who say their parents they are going to Shirdi with friends. Parents allow immediately because they are happy you go Shirdi to have darshan of Baba. If you are behaving pure and clean, Sai is happy about it. Some people come to Shirdi with bad intention. Once while I was traveling back from Shirdi to Mumbai, I was shocked to see things I can’t write here. I can only feel pity for their parents Sai.

One of my friend in Mumbai said, “This city has become so cosmopolitan that you can’t say anything as wrong to people”. Well, Sai lives every where. So where ever you do something spiritually unethical, some day you will suffer in life for sure.

5. Enjoy Shirdi maximum for 1 to 5 Days.  That’s enough. Its already crowded. Why do you want to stay back in Shirdi for long? Keep moving to your work, studies and your own place and lead your life. Shirdi is for everyone and we have to give space for everyone and vacate.

Girls travel alone to places these days. Am not too narrow minded to say girls must not go alone to Shirdi but my point is better stay in a safe place and make it a small trip. Better don’t let people know that you are alone. I feel this rule applies no matter where girls travel alone.

Ok friends am getting late for work

I feel good that Sai showed as if my house is in Shirdi. May be it means Sai lives in our house.

Enavo Therila…I get some strange dreams, associate with something and write. One day all Sai devotees are going to throw stones on me and Kill me…he he…I feel better to Die this way. Am too upset and depressed and feel I pass away soon than to live in worries. I feel who will take care of my parents and StarSai then?

Love,

Venkat

Always in the holy feet of Shirdi Saibaba
