As mentioned in my previous posts, we moved from Boston to Phoenix after my husband found new employment at phoenix. Since we paid for relocation, we were waiting for all the money to get reimbursed from his office so that we can plan a trip to visit the Sai temple at Pittsburgh.
With Sai's blessings, we were finally able to get our relocation money reimbursed from my husbands office. And very true to the vision that my daughter had, we were witness to Sai blessings and miracles during our Pittsburgh visit.
With Baba's grace we reached Pittsburgh Sai temple just before the shej arthi and were at complete peace to be in presence of baba. I really wanted to click a picture of Baba's idol in the temple, but when I reached there, I realized that photography was not allowed in the temple. I was a little disappointed, but happy still because we could be in the temple. Next morning we again went to the temple for kakkad arthi. There I met Padmaja who helps in the temple and runs the daily activity. It must have been baba's leela that we started talking to each other and we started to exchange all baba's miracles we have witnessed in our lives. She said she wants to sit with us and talk more about baba when we come back for madhyan arti. We went back to the hotel, had breakfast and came back for madhyan arti. Some how she was very busy during that time and whenever we would try to sit and talk, she would be called for some temple work and our stories kept getting interrupted. Still we decided to wait for as long as it takes and hear more baba's stories.
At that time, Mr. Pandu Mallaya, the person who made this temple came in for some puja. He walked straight upto me asked me if i have camera. I said, I do. He said, he is doing some special puja for someone, and requested me to take some pictures of the Baba in the temple. I was delighted. I could not believe my ears. Just the day before, I wanted to click a picture of Baba and today I was being allowed to do so.
I was so happy, because it was a blessing from Baba. Had we not met Padmaja in the morning and had she been not so busy in the afternoon, we would have never met Mr. Pandu mallaya and I wouldn't have got an opportunity to take Baba's picture. I truly believe that Baba wanted to come back home with me in this form and that is why he presented me with this opportunity. The series of events that led upto me getting the permission to click Baba's pictures has to be his blessings and his leela's.
It was a miracle I witnessed and I feel truly blessed for the same. The image in this post is the picture that I clicked on Baba in the temple.
Jai Sai Ram.
