Shirdi Sai Devotee Sri Laxmi Ji Says: Sai Ram! Thank You for providing a platform to share experiences. When I was in high school, I used to visit Baba’s temple to accompany my friend who was asked to distribute chana prasad in temple by her mother. She used to take me to the temple. We sang aarthis. We distributed prasad. I used to enjoy eating other prasads also. Just for the sake of my friend and sweet prasads I used to go.
One day my friend’s mother told her to read Sai Satcharitra and be confident as she was scared of maths exam. She told to read any page so that she will be fine. My friend told me that we get answers from God through this book. We both read one page or paragraph don’t remember exactly, but we read something. Somewhat I started believing in Baba. Later, we both joined different colleges. We didn’t get time to meet. But still if I think now, in that new college which was very far from home and it was the other side of the ocean where I knew no one and no one knew me, I made friends and they were Baba’s devotees. They gave me love like no one else gave till that time. Those friends became more than my parents and God. I used to go to Baba’s temple with them. Seeing their love towards Baba, I also started loving Baba. Seeing them I also started having Udi. I started talking to Baba, asking for good grades and not to fail me in any subject. It was a wonder when results came, all my friends got one or two or three backlogs but I didn’t get even one backlog. Everyone was shocked including me. As per my promise, I went and did 108 pradakshina for Baba. And my faith increased in Baba.
