Yesterday we shared what kind of small but technical and important hindrances were faced by us while starting series of posts. Even though we were chosen, we were tested and wanted to be polished. Our faith as well as patience were tested. Lord Sai Baba on later stages made us feel loved by Him and made us taste sweetness of our love towards Him. We have already shared that few groups are in action where we do Parayan every week and on special days, many have experienced thrills and got their wishes fulfilled. We have tried to accumulate all of them here! If any are left, it is purely human err for which we apologize Him.

Leelas Experienced By Members of MAHAPARAYAN

I still remember, as a kid when my mom told me Cinderella's story with a fairy in it who had a magic wand, I too wanted that magic wand very badly. I remember I used to even cry for it and my cousin Gouri would say that she would get it from Bombay where her mama(uncle) stayed and I waited for her to go to Bombay anxiously. While I started working on MAHAPARAYAN with loads of things in queue, I realized my gold bracelet was missing. I searched and searched but did not find. I started chanting Sai Sai Sai and asked Baba to help as I was already very short of time. The moment I started chanting Sai Sai, I found it at the same place where I usually keep. Then to play His leela more, I realised my Rado watch was missing and so I could not overlook it. Again I said what is this Baba You have started? You know how much every minute, every second matters me now, then why You are doing so? I again started chanting and lo… immediately I found the watch only after I started chanting Sai Sai. I then realised even Baba’s name itself is my magic wand which once I wanted in childhood! I also felt and said to Rahul now I understand why Baba did so and He was forming the basis of write up for one of my posts for MAHAPARAYAN. I now feel He gave me practical exposure to it just like Das Ganu was given through Kaka’s maid servant (ch 20). Really His ways are His ways!

As one may well be able to measure the depth of seven seas, enclose the sky with cloth trappings but it’s impossible to write the leelas of our Magical Baba! I always wonder how He manages with His innumerable devotees with each of their smallest and innumerable thoughts and wishes? How He doesn’t get irritated with we troubling Him every now and then for petty things? Today’s post is regarding various experiences of the existing members of Mahaparayan, including me.

Although a great fan, believer and follower of Baba from 2006, the day I started working for Mahaparayan many positive things took place. Just when I got one group of 48 people, Hetalji honoured me to be the editor of the sacred blog. Later inspite of my husband’s and in-law’s will but as it was Baba’s will, Baba convinced them to allow me to work. Just then I came across a Baba’s image, “As Long As You Know That Sai Is For You, It Doesn’t Matter Who Is Against You” and was fully convinced about it. Also in June or July, my son was told to undergo a small surgery for Hydrocele during his Diwali vacations. But I had faith in my Sai and kept applying Udi and did Nav Guruvar vrat for him. So due to Baba’s blessings surgery was not required and doctor also confirmed that Hydrocele had gone on.
