Time is Gold – I saw rays of golden light

Sairam friends,

Since yesturday is thursday Hundreds of devotees offer coconut in the sacred Fire ( Dhuni ) in saibaba temple i visit regularly.

It was friday morning and i had been to saibaba temple . The dhuni had lots of ashes dark in color to be digged with a iron rod so that it goes down below to the tank. Every day me and my sai friends in temple used to dig this dhuni ashes so that it enters the tank below. Once its collected in tank, we will get down the tank, wipe the ashes to front, take it and filter it which comes as soft udi for thousands of sai devotees the coming week.

I love doing this especially making sure the Dhuni is clean .Then drop the wooden logs , coconuts and come back home. On this day i found lots of ashes has to be cleared off…so i spent hours togather holding iron rod and digging it. Probably i wish to remember such golden days in future . Thats why want to write about it.

The fire, its heat, the iron rod and the sacred dhuni of saibaba. Since hundreds of coconuts has been burnt as i dig the dhuni lots of black dust emerged and my entire head and shirt got kissed by the sacred particles of Sainath.

It was very hectic ..so i decided to digg rest of the ashes in dhuni in the evening,Came back home, had lunch and started to sleep near sai photos in my room.

I was blessed by the following room :

Many times in my life Saibaba has shown that this purticular temple i go everyday is not just a temple its a school and college where sai has taught me great things about life. “Knowing saibabas life”

I see my college friends in the temple and it was actually like i am in a college but the are is this saibaba temple.Deep inside subconciously i was also worried that i am not yet settled in my career and sai has to show me the right way.

Then i keep my bag in the dwarakamai and go near the place where we wash feet before entering temple.

It was as if the college got over and getting dark in the evening…

I see my sai friend, vidhyas brother Kapil who also seem to studying in same college ( saibaba temple ). He comes near me , removes his wrist watch and shows me as if hes going to show me a treasure.

“Venkat See this…..”

I see he is opening his electronic wrist watch and reflecting the LCD panel with the battery of the watch. Immediately i see the entire area around us glittering in Golden Light.

I can feel that Golden light has been reflected all over the place around us from the wrist watch.

Then we both come out side the Saibaba temple…

I woke up and told this to my sai friend vidhya who said this is not a sai dream. Probably i dint put it to her in the right way. I do realized sai conveys the beautiful message that

“Time IS GOLD”

do not waste time which i have been doing for months now…

I bowed to Saibaba and request him to show me the right path . I hope all of us utilize our time by doing any good karma..any good deeds, if we cant do any work, lets chant sai sai sai always with our heart and soul.

Sai bless you with good time ahead.

Time is Gold

Om sainathaya namaha
