Sairam friends,
There are so many good websites about Shirdi Sai Baba and they all are doing a truly wonderful work. Somehow, Star Sai is not so good because I write all that comes to my mind. There are many websites where Sai devotees really get more benefited and these sites gets so many visitors. Recently, I was worried as google doesn’t show StarSai.com when one searches for Shirdi Sai Baba. Then I felt happy for another reason.
Sai brings only Children close to his heart to Star Sai. Sai shows me in dream who comes to Star Sai when he wants me to know they love it so much but they won’t mail me. Just that he won’t tell me their names so that I can give them little Sai Photo as gift if they live close to me. I just know they are Sai’s sweet children and they will be blessed with a Beautiful Life.
I came from work early yesterday as my father called up to say Amma is not well and have severe pain. They wanted to visit a Doctor at 6. When I got the call, I felt some pain in my heart and realized its easy to write to Sai children about how to be strong internally, do Pooja to Saibaba and keep doing chanting etc but only when we actually face the pain, we get too emotional and all that I advice others doesn’t come to me easily.
While traveling to Doctor, I kept chanting Sai’s holy name and also thinking if there’s something good I can do, something good I can write that really helps people in Pain. I observed the Doctor keeping in mind how to write few words in our Health Care Site so that many people who can follow few suggestions.
Sai made me realize something really true about life.
Pain has No religion
Difficulties has No religion
One of the reasons I wanted to branch out with other websites is because I want to create a platform where people from various walks of life learns a better way of living or simply feels someone is trying to heal them with his words.
If you want me to take you on a small flash Back,
Star Sai was created on the Night of December 23rd 2004. One of the first articles in Star Sai is
I printed posters with the words
” Give Food to the Hunger, Water to the Thirsty and Clothes to the Naked, then the God will be pleased” and started coming around the holy fire – Dhuni in Nagasai Mandhir every day for 4 to 5 hours. I thought that I am going to do it until the thousand posters got over but it became my life for the next couple of years when ever I am in Coimbatore.
Something that created a Impact in me in Tsunami of 2004 on 26th 2004 as when ever I gave the posters, I could relate the words wrote were matching the victims and devotees who got it could connect their Heart with Sai and doing Good Deeds. I used to come around Dhuni and pray Goddess of Nature.
2005 was truly golden time though devotees who come to Nagasai Mandhir didn’t understand me. Someone gave a complaint that am disturbing devotees and the watch man came to me and said don’t give these posters. Next day, I gave a lamp to the two watch man and told them, am doing something Good based on Sai’s guidance and since they made me stop doing it, the sin must not affect them.
The next day, the watch man came and said, ‘You can come around Dhuni”. After few months, the other watch man told me, I was smoking for many years and wanted to stop it. I lit the lamp you gave in my home and from that day, I stopped smoking. He had tears in eyes when he said that and even when I took my parents yesterday to temple, he was very exited and wanted to see them.
I don’t know why everyone wants to see my parents, My friends in the Shop in temple, Watch man, the priest. May be because if my parents had not supported me and tolerated all shorts of craziness I had for Sai, I would have not been what I am today.
Years went on, I went to Mumbai and Loved it most especially for the Students I had. It was fun working as a Faculty in Film School in Mumbai. During Guru Purnima, they used to give me gifts of Sai and touch my feet. Wonder why this respect for someone who teaches – Guru doesn’t exit in other states of India. May be we have it in mind.
I missed my Mother so much and always imagined how great it would be to live in our home in Coimbatore and go for work. I tried my best to come back and the situations moved me here. I didn’t got Job and had to do my MBA years later while doing something as a Freelancer.
One of the reason, I am not able to make Star Sai network as I have in mind is because I don’t have formal education in what ever I do. I learnt from tutorials and when I really suffered, I was able to earn a living with little I learnt. I regretted for not continuing my Education and had determination to spread a word to youngsters that one must never think they learnt enough. I had so many websites on Education but all got expired as I could not afford to maintain.
I really don’t have time to update these sites with articles but am happy to have it in place before I get married.
I realized many Sai devotees especially girls are into relationship issues, believing Sai gave some hints, having relationship with Guys and finally blaming Sai when it doesn’t work. I am one among victims of such issues. Naraya Adi vaangiten Saibaba. I wanted to bring solace and happiness into such Sai Children who suffer with relationship problems and hence created
Few girls who really Got benefited had mailed me but I am not sure how many men get benefited by these sites as probably Men don’t express it.Men also write me and are my friends. Just that they don’t express much and men are occupied with other works in their life.
Now a days, Devotees write me in worst pain and I really can’t reply them because I am also a ordinary devotee and all I have is words to heal. When I do it, I don’t want to be a wall between Sai and his children. So I simply say a humble prayer.
Even today Sai gave me dream about CO2 emissions and we have to reduce our carbon foot prints
and trust me Sai is making me to all this..I am simply a instrument
For a better Earth to breath for ever, we need to plant lots of Trees and plants .
I want everyone to realize how important to take care of their parents when they get old and be there for them. So Sai inspired me to create StarSai Mom and Dad
When my Amma was having wound in her tongue, i wanted to spread the message the we must try our best to be soft and talk good. so created
Sahasranama.in – Art of Thinking and Speaking Good
I still feel blank and that I din’t achieve anything in life and for Sai. If I had made Sai happy, Sai would have made me happy. May be , I have to do more good deeds to please Sai and make him Happy
Honestly, Sai doesn’t need all this. Its for his Children. Its for his devotees and Star Sai is dedicated to his Good children.
Thank You Sai Children – Star Sai Temple of Humanity welcomes devotees over a Lakh times every month
So these 9 years has been like a Journey with Sai though I know Sai and me had lived together for several births which is true to every devotee. You all belong to him for several Janma. Its not that he doesn’t care for you when you are in to pain. He has been following you birth after birth and he took you here because he knows whats best for you.
So Star Sai now is now being visited over one lakh times every month. What does it mean for Sai and me. It means very little because what matters is how many lives Star Sai actually impacted. I will be happy when Sai children has gone one step closer to Sai, Humanity and peace.
Hope Sai makes me do it..
Yesterday, While sitting in Clinic, I checked the report card of my Mom. It was dated 26/6/2005. This day, My Mom had endoscopy in the same clinic and I told her, “You go with padma aunty and I will go Saibaba temple” because I believed Sai can cure her.
This devotion and belief on Sai is in-born. No one taught this to me and Sai has always been helpful to me and in warding off my innocent fears in various walks of Life.
Now a days,I only pray Sai. Please don’t let me fear for little things in life because I have lots to do.
Now my parents are asking me to have food…
Shall continue later friends
I know for what most Sai Children come to StarSai – Shirdi Sai Baba Speaks from Dwarakamai
Please go beyond that, Sai is in your self. I myself don’t go to Sai Speaks often.
In every good soul you meet, try to see Sai. I wrote it simply to make you feel Sai’s presence but Sai is present every where. In your parents, Good friends, Husband, wife and children. Sai is present in people who create Jobs for they provide livelihood to many. Sai is present in a ordinary person whom you think has no knowledge.
Sai is Antaryami .Sai lives in the walls of every good soul.
I apologize for writing my personal life in Star Sai friends though it at times benefits devotees to relate their problems with mine.
Please make sure you read Sai Satcharitra and listen to Shirdi Sai Baba Aarti regularly
and Yes how can I forgot the little site to remind you that remembering Sai in heart is enough.
Keep remembering Sai, Sai, Sai in mind. Sai will hold your palm and bless you with a beautiful, divine life…
I wish the girl I marry likes what we do together Sai because to me, Star Sai is my soul and life. I have to build Star Sai which should inspire Sai devotees for thousands of years to come. If you want me to do it, then bless me with the right girl.
I am thankful to you for blessing me with good parents, sister and brother in law, katya and good Sai friends. even yesterday Leela didi called from U.S and told me “Venkat, I think of you so many times though I don’t speak to you”. She wanted me to help in getting Saibaba padhukas for a temple in U.S and I assured her daughter and son will be blessed with good life.
What did i do to get so many Sai children who really care for me? I did little and the little I did is “Star Sai”
Love,
Venkat
