Extended Trunk

Jai Sai Ram

Well, one could probably come to many assumptions after reading the title. Sometimes, I think to myself this is not the apt one and do re-iterate many at times regarding the mis-manipulation. Funny things happen often in our lives. Baba makes us feel funny always by his leelas. Funny is yet another word, making it precise, he makes us happy through his amicable presence to his devotees.

Reffering to the post, this was yet another own experience to see how Baba conveys message to his beloved children. I got a chance to go through one of Sai Devotees' experiences in a blog (I do not remember which one) may be a couple of weeks ago.Went through few posts which were depicting the importance of Sat Charithra Parayanam and other miracles which Baba had done. Came across an interesting post by a female devotee. Am writing what she had mentioned.

"I was a faithful devotee of Lord Ganesha from my childhood. I did not have or love any other God as good as Ganesha. Later on, when days rolled off, I had to face many problems in life which made me loose hope. I somehow came to know about Shirdi Sai Baba and the moment he came into my life, I experienced his miracles and more things. Once, I saw Shirdi Sai Baba serial accidentally and got to notice a Ganesha's picture near Baba's idol in the TV. This made me dumb struck and I looked at Baba's idol in our house. To my surprise, I saw a worm in Baba's nose which appeared like a trunk of Lord Ganesha. I immediately realised that Baba and Ganesha are the same and never thought both were different."

Sneakily, I had to think about this post yesterday when I was busy washing clothes. Just thought to myself that Baba is such a nice Guru and he makes his children happy even in every possible small ways. I had totally forgotten about this incident after this and went to Baba's temple since yesterday was a Thursday. Spoke to Baba in the temple and sung a few songs. I was sitting in the temple for may be 15 minutes. Then happened this miracle. The temple had a huge picture of Baba which hung over the wall. A quiet tall standing pose of Baba in a white attire. I saw a lizard moving up and down on this picture and after a few seconds, this lizard appeared on Baba's face and exactly stood from his nose hanging. There was two surprising factors when this happened, one was the lizard had its tail on Baba's nose and the head part hung towards his chest. The second part was that the lizard did not move even an inch until I came out of that place (I was the only person in the temple).  I did not and I still do not understand what Baba wants to convey to me through this. However, I feel there must be something which is beyond human thinking. He knows when to give what and whom to give too. Just waiting for tomorrow which is Ganesh Chaturthi. May be I will come to know the answer for my question or even I may not. It is my humility to keep posting here whatever happens on Ganesh Chathurthi.

Baba, thanks for all that you have done so far. I firmly trust you and patiently listen to your orders. With all my pride and proud put off on your feet, bowing to you for peace and love.
