My Mahaparayan Experience

Shirdi Sai Devotee Swati Ghoshji Says: Sairam my dear Sai brothers and sisters, this is Swati, a very humble devotee of our dearest Baba. Sorry Baba for this very late post. Though I have tried to pen down this post earlier, I failed. It is only Baba’s grace that can enable us to write about His leelas. So, let me first invoke Baba in the form of Lord Ganesha and Maa Saraswati to help me with this write-up. Just like any Sai devotee, even my life is a blessing of our Mother Sai. I don’t think there are any words in existence in this entire cosmos, that can express the glory of our Holy Mother. So, I don’t know how to convey my gratitude to our Sai Baba. I can only imagine myself digging my face in the folds of His kafni and sleep off in peace just as a child would rest in his mother’s lap.

Next, I would heartily thank Poojaji and the entire Mahaparayan team who have shown a new spiritual world to ignorant devotees like me all around the globe. At any given moment, whether at office or home, I am surrounded by atheists or not so spiritual people. So, I could never enjoy the nectar of Sai bhakti fully, which increases only when you share it with people around. But association with this Mahaparayan, has opened up new gates for me to explore and understand our Baba more, with like-minded devotees. Truly speaking Poojaji, yours, Laveenaji’s and Manju’s devotion is quite infectious; people around you all would unknowingly get immersed in Sai bhakti.

This leela, which I am going to expound here is about how Baba helped me to become the class teacher of MP-140. Please forgive me for my lengthy write up and any mistakes I might make.
In the year 2017-18, I was a member of MP-140 and in the continuation year, 2018-19, I am not sure why my name was suggested for being the class teacher. Maybe, it was Sai’s way of increasing my connection with Him. So, when Poojaji asked me, I was apprehensive and it was only when Baba gave me a go via His signals, I agreed to be one. I got in touch with Seema Goyalji who was already one of the captains in the previous year. She not only boosted my morale, but also sent me the list of all devotees, who were ready to continue in the 2nd year.

After consolidating the list, I realized that I needed 16 more devotees to complete the group and the parayan was due to start in 7-10 days. Now I was in a fix, because I hardly go to Sai temples and have no connection with any of them. So, where could I get the devotees to complete my group? I asked for help in the Darbar groups, but hardly received any recommendations there. Two of my cousins agreed to join and so the deficit count reduced to 14. Then it was sheer Baba’s grace and leela, that Manjuji’s name flashed in my mind. She became my angel and on reaching out to her, she immediately gave me a list of around 15 devotees. Most of them were her temple friends, and in 3-4 days, my group was complete. Hence, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Manjuji, who became my knight in shining armor and helped me in this new journey.

Here, I was anxious about how the group would be formed and see the wonder of Baba’s grace – He has blessed me with some wonderful people in my group who with their selfless nature have always made our parayans successful. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my captains, Nandiniji, Seema ji, Moumitaji and Shilpaji for rendering such excellent and dedicated service. Also, heartfelt thanks to all my class members, who have always stepped up to volunteer for pending chapters. Unknowingly, I have developed an affection for all of them. Really, they are all Baba’s blessing on me and I get to learn so much from them.

This experience has taught me what Shraddha is, what faith on Baba means. If we venture out to do something good, if our goals are noble, then Baba will stand by us through thick and thin. When there is no one with you at times of distress, Baba does help and pulls you out of your sorrows. He is the Holy Mother and He knows what is best for all of us. So, if we haven’t got something which we prayed for, be rest assured that it was never good for us. He being the mother, how can He let, any calamities or bad stuffs to befall us. So, we should have absolute faith in His will. When we don’t know ourselves and our own weaknesses, then how can we know our so-called friends and relatives, whom we think we are acquainted with, since many years. Similarly, it is impossible to know all the people whom we meet every day and their motives/weaknesses, the hurdles in the tasks which we plan to undertake and the situations around us.

We are actually aware of only 1% of the truth. So, based on this, how can we trust our decisions and our desires? Probably, they can be more harmful for us. But our Baba knows everything; He is the omniscient one. He definitely knows the best course for each of us and He will guide us in such a way that we would be at an arm’s length from all of these dangers and get whatever we deserve, which would ultimately be good for us. So, submitting all to His will, we should enjoy whatever fruits He wants us to eat and digest. After all, mothers know what is best for their children.
Thanks Baba, for helping me to complete this writeup which was pending since long. I dedicate it at Your feet. Thanks everyone for reading this with patience. Hope, with Sai’s blessings, we His children, are able to imbibe His teachings in our day to day life.

Om Sai Ram!

Mahaparayan is a blessing where without Baba’s will no one can join. It is He Who decides who will read where, in which team, which chapter. He has His angels spread across and who are working to make it a success and keep the torch of Mahaparayan going. 


Really Baba, we can’t ever thank You enough for the Mahaparayan which is indeed a true blessing, our Guiding Torch, a boat provided by You to cross this wordly ocean in this Kaliyuga. Thank You for choosing us for Mahaparayan and also giving us a chance to Your some seva which will ultimately help us evolve spiritually. Love You Sai. Jai Jai Ho Sai. 😊


Those who wish to serve for global Mahaparayan may join this temporary group MP Sevaks and we will get in touch with you all very soon. Rise & Be Instrumental …!
