    It is often said thatchildhood is the best period

    in ones life. Most of us havevery pleasant memories ofour childhood. Playing withyour friends in gay abandon,rushing back home andyelling I am hungry and yourmother rushing to feed you,learning new things in schoolevery day, the tension ofstudies before the examsand the euphoria thereafter,the feelings of achievement

    and adulation of parents andteachers upon getting goodgrades and the pranks whichone played with schoolfriends. But above all it wasthe feeling of security, ofbeing cared for and noworries except that ofexcelling in studies and

    sports. But all the childrenare not so lucky. Many of

    them eatonly once aday, lackp r o p e rclothes andsome donot have

    anyone tocare forthem. Theystruggle fors u r v i v a leveryday,

    are exposed to abuse, bothemotional and physical, at avery tender age and haveonly themselves to fendagainst the cruel world

    When survival itselfbecomes the goal in life,education becomes adistant dream and the pathto crime is easiest to follow.Children living in harshcircumstances suffer for nofault of theirs and it is the duty

    of the more fortunate toprovide all the help they canto bring back the joys ofchildhood to these children.By providing help to theunderprivileged children not

    only are we bringing backsmiles on their faces butalso strengthening thefoundations of our future

So Icame there and registered

    A few months ago my fiancgot laid off from his company.He is on an H1B visa andwould go out of status if wedont either change to an-other visa or transfer it toanother employer. We de-cided to transfer it to anotheremployer. A friend of us saidhe would sponsor one. Aftera month of applying we got avery tough RFE asking formany documents. We werescared that it will not be ap-proved and that we have togo back to India. We weregetting prepared for that. I

    asked my fianc to keep to-tal trust in Sai Baba and startdoing Parayana of Shri SaiSatcharitra. Even before hecompleted reading he couldget all the documentsneeded and mailed. Just lastweek his visa got approved.I am thankful to Sai Baba forthat. Mahi

    Free Service Camp Of Healing Touch

    I Jitendra Dutt Bhattwas an employee of drillingdiscipline in ONGC. I spentmost of the time in Mehsana

    Distt. of Gujarat. I had mymother Smt. Savitri Devi, mywife Sulochana Devi andnephew Rakesh

    my son Vaibhav anddaughter Rakhi in my family.

    My income was notsufficient to meet thedemands of my family I triedto do side jobs as well. Myfriend Shri Prasad was adevotee of Baba and alwayscarried Shri Sai Satcharitrawith him. He was inclinedtowards Shri Sai Nath thruour common friend Shri J.K.Das. On his advice hestarted chanting the name ofSai Baba whole heartedly.Within a year Shri Prasadwas blessed with a son. ShriPrasad gave me a copy ofShri Sai Satcharitra toread. I went through thebook and returned it, heobserved that I was notassured of Sai Babasmiraculous powers, he thanasked me to sincerely tellBaba about my worries.

    In 1976-77 to meet thefamily demands, I had takena scheme. On completionof scheme I would have gotreward of Rs.25000/- and to

    achieve the target onlytwenty five days remained. Iwas worried as it wasalmost impossible toachieve the target. I boweddown with all respect toBabas feet earnestly. Hisways are not known how Hecares for His children, whocome to Him with devotion. Igot what I wished for. Afterthat I longed for HisDarshan at Shirdi. Myfriend Shri Prasad too wasplanning to go to Shirdi, weboth with our wives reachedShirdi by bus from Surat.

    This was my first Darshanof Baba; I was stunned andimmobile as if somethingover powered me and tearsrolled out of my eyes. I wastruly feeling blessed.

    Once my mother wasin Pooja Room she sawBaba in front of His famousposture sitting on rock.Suddenly there was abeautiful light and Matajifainted in awe with a shriek.My wife who was in thekitchen ran there and shesprinkled some water butMata ji remained

    speechless for quite sometime. When I returned homeand asked her how she felt?She said that she wasenjoying a blissful feeling.

    I had no idea then thatBaba would send me back

    to my village Nakronda inDistt DehraDun,Uttarakhand. In 1999 I tookvoluntary retirement from

    ONGC. In Nakronda villagewe all brothers have someland and a good part of it issituated on Gulhar Ghattiroad prominently. After livingin Dehradun for two years Iwas inspired to construct aSai Baba Temple in this landat our village. I consultedMata ji and my brothers; weall agreed to the thought ofconstructing a temple. Weestablished a Trust throughour Mother.

    Now a small Dutt templehas been constructed nextto ongoing construction ofSai temple. Every morningand evening Aartis are beingdone. The photo of Babasitting on rock in which mymother saw light, wasdemonstrated on Doli twiceon the occasion of Bhoomipoojan day of Sai temple andon the inauguration day ofDutt Temple. Theconstruction work is goingon and number of peoplehave started coming to thetemple. Our whole familyhas become Sai devotee.May Sai Baba keep usblessed I pray to him.

    The area of Mandir

    Campus is in six and quarterbighas. Its foundation andGayatri Nav-kundi havanwas conducted under thesupervision of SHANTIKUNJ of Haridwar on 25/05/06.

    Baba has His ownways to arrange things.Suddenly a Babas devoteearchitect and constructionengineer joined our project.The under ground digging iscomplete & pillars are beingerected and the four wallsare complete. It is ready forlaying first linter. Boundary

    walls on two sides arecomplete. After linter theGarbh Griha constructionshall take place. The bathsand toilets are ready to use.

    I and our familiesimagine a beautiful Babasstatue in the temple. Foremergency we also wish tomake someaccommodation forovernight stay. The firsttarget is a beautiful SaiTemple. In future we plan toconduct free yoga camps,medical camps which shallbe very useful for villagers.

    The work on phase one isgoing on and roofconstruction in phase twohas to start. May Babashower his love and blessingto all.

    society. During our marchto help the underprivilegedchildren by bringing themback to school we, in DiyaFoundation, have comeacross a great member oftragic cases where thechildren suffered for no faultof theirs. It was on theintervention by DiyaFoundation that the joys ofchildhood were broughtback to them.

    Here are some of thoseuntold stories which have

    been penned not to seeksympathy but to make thereaders aware as to howfate sometimes plays crueland how constructivehuman intervention fromaffluent sections of thesociety brings back joys oflife to these tender souls.This is story of a little boynamed Goldy. He was justsix years old when his fatherdied in a tragic accident.Suddenly life changedcompletely for him and hismother Neetu. His grandparents turned their back

    upon their sons bereavedfamily, refusing them anysupport and assistance.

    Out of desperation,Neetu turned to her brotherfor shelter and support.Here, too, both of them weretreated as outcasts as aburden and a liability.

    Her survival instinct ledNeetu to take up

    employment as an Ashaworker with Balwadi, a socialservice organization. Hercompensation was a mereRs.500/- per month.Obviously, it was not a salarythat could ensure that Goldywent to school. But then sheheard of the Diya VidyaMandir, a school run by theDiya Foundation.

    Today, Goldy is beingprovided both free educationand medical care. In addition,the family is being offered free

    rations under the Food forHungry Programme run bythe Foundation.

    Life changes for those whoseek and try. And becauseGod has a heart of gold thatoverflows with compassion.A child's life is so sensitive

    that if not ditected properly inthe right path it can lead todisastrous.

    Diya Foundation is doing itsbit to support theseunderprivileged children. Weall can join hands with DiyaFoundation for lighting upmore lives by giving ourcontribution.

    Devotees ExperienceOM SAI RAM. On the 7th ofJune 2008, we had thelaunch of our high fashiongarments boutiqueSamaira at Malad inMumbai. The president of

    the local cable TV networkMr. Paresh was also a guestat the event and at the sametime he was covering theevent to air it on the localcable network. He knew thatmy family and I are Saidevotees, so he had boughta Sai Baba idol as a gift forus on the occasion of thelaunch of the boutique.

    He had gift wrapped theidol. But due topreoccupation with coveringthe event, he forgot to bringthe Sai Baba idol for us. Afew days later he even calledmy sister Vinita to inform

    about the gift but did notmention what the gift was.Nobody other than his wifeknew that there was a SaiBaba idol gift wrapped forthe owners of the boutique,kept at his house. Again, dueto busy schedules Pareshforgot to bring the Sai Babaidol to us.

    On 29th of July 2008,Tuesday afternoon asPareshs father was asleepin his house he had a dreamin which he heard the doorbell ringing and on openingthe door he saw Sri Sai Baba

    standing giving darshan.Baba asked him why haveyou kept me closed inside abox? Take me to my childrenfor whom you have broughtme. Immediately then thetelephone bell rang and he

    (Pareshs father) woke up.He ran towards the main

    gate of his house and thencalled his entire family andasked them where is SaiBaba? He narrated his

    dream to his familymembers and they were allwondering when and howhave they closed and keptBaba in a box? ThenPareshss wife after thinkingfor a while, suddenly realisedthat the gift for the boutiqueis a Sai Baba idol packed andgift wrapped in a box.Everyone in their family wasastonished to see that gift.Pareshss father got darshanof Sri Sai Baba and Sri SaiBaba blessed my entirefamily by coming into ourlives and home. We receivedthe idol from them and then

    performed puja and abhishekof Baba on His arrival.

    Sai Baba is on JagritSamadhi and iscontinuously showering Hislove and blessings to Hisdevotees and to the world.He takes care of all Hisdevotees all the time. Thiswas His biggest leela for meand my family and we gotblessed. Just by surrenderingcompletely to Sai andfollowing his two divinewords Shradha Saburi we willcome closer and closer toour Perfect Master, our

    Sadguru, our God, Sri SaiBaba of Shirdi.Sri Sachidanand Sadguru

    Kakasaheb Dixit has pub-lished his notes regardingnecessity of Guru. Next dayafter Hemadpants meetingwith Sai Baba, Kakasahebwent to Baba and askedwhether he should leaveShirdi. Baba Said, "Yes".Then someone asked -

    "Baba, where to go?" Babasaid, "High up." Then theman said, "How is the way?"Baba said, "There are manyways leading there; there isone way also from here(Shirdi). The way is difficult.There are tigers and wolves

    in the jungles on the way." I(Kakasaheb) asked - "ButBaba, what if we take a guidewith us?" Baba answered, -"Then there is no difficulty.The guide will take youstraight to your destination,avoiding wolves, tigers andditches etc. On the way. If

    there be no guide, there isthe danger of your being lostin the jungles or falling intoditches." Mr. Dabholkar waspresent on this occasionand he thought that this wasthe answer Baba gave to thequestion whether Guru was

    a necessity and he thereupontook the hint that no discus-sion of the problem, whetherman is free or bound, is ofany use in spiritual matters,but that on the contrary realParamartha is possible onlyas the result of the teachingsof the Guru, as is illustratedin this chapter of the originalwork in the instances of greatAvatars like Rama andKrishna, who had to submitthemselves to their Gurus,Vasishtha and Sandipani re-spectively, for getting self-realization and that the onlyvirtues necessary for suchprogress are faith and pa-tience.

    I am a devotee of Babasince I was 12 yrs old. Wehave Babas temple next toour house in India. All hisAartis can be heard from ourterrace. I some how gotattracted to His Aartis. FirstlyI used to think that the tuneand rhythm sounds reallygood and that is the reasonwhy I liked His Aartis. Thenslowly I startedunderstanding some lyricseven though I dont knowMarathi and started likingthem more. Since then Istarted loving Baba, Histeachings, His SaiSatcharitra and bhajans.

    Baba gave me everything.I dont know what to list. Hegave me good parents, agood husband and son, goodin-laws and all the goodthings that I wanted.Whenever I have a problem,I sit and look into His eyes inthe photo that I have in myhouse and I somehow feelthat He conveys me amessage that This is atesting period for you anddefinitely you would be out ofthis in few days and everytime all my problems vanishso fast.

    I would like to share one of

    my many experiences thatreally touched me a lot. Myson started speaking verylate. He did not talk anythinguntil he was 3 years old. Allour relatives and everyone inschool commented that he

    Baba Blessed My Sonmay have some speechproblem. I never botheredabout what everyone said.Instead I used to tell themthat I strongly believe in Babaand Baba wont let my sonhave any problem and wasunder the impression thatmy son would talk whenBaba really wanted him to.After a few days everyonestarted commenting thatapart from speechimpairment my son could behaving some other problem.One day I was performingmy daily Pooja and suddenlyI started crying and saidBaba, I have no courage totake this anymore. I startedperforming my daily Poojawith some unhappinessthinking about my son. Afterfew months on a Thursdaymorning I saw Babas murthiin my dreams telling me thatHmm. ok hereafter hewill be fine. After thisincident, my son reallypicked up very quickly andwithin very few days hestarted talking really well. Iam highly indebted andthankful to Baba for what Hehas given me. Baba is theLord of the universe, and thewhole universe runs at Hiswill Baba Bless all of us

    Shri Sai Sumiran Times4 New Delhi- September 2009Know About CataractsMessage From Meher Baba

    Various conditions maycause cataracts to form:heredity is the determiningfactor in congenital and juvenile cataracts: toxicsubstances, certain eyeinjuries, chronic systemic

    diseases (such as diabetes)or other specific eye diseasesall may cause cataracts. But,by far, most common causeis simply the aging process.As we grow older, the lens

    gradually loses its watercontent and increases indensity. These naturalprocesses may set the stagefor cataract formation. Somedegree of cataract formationis expected in virtuallyeveryone over age of seventy. -Dr.Neeraj Manchanda (Eye Surgeon)

    Sai Baba Blessed MeI was not always a Shirdi

    Sai devotee. I would only goto Shirdi for sightseeing withmy friedns. We had a dognamed Benji. Benji wasalways in good health. Heused to listen to bhajansand movedhis mouth asif he waspleased. AsBenji got oldhe was veryill, He wasoperated buteven that didnot help himmuch. Hewas stillsuffering a

    lot. I could not see Benji inpain. Benji was very dear tome. I went to a Shirdi SaiBaba temple in Ghatkoparand cried my heart out Iprayed to Baba to blessBenji and help him get over

    his sufferings. I asked Baba to

    shower His blessing. Babalistened to my prayer, as Ikneeled in front of Baba, twoflowers fell on me, I wasshocked as there was nogarlands on Baba's picture. I

    looked aroundthere was nobady there. Irealised Babahad blessed meand Baba is withBenji and willtake care of him.I came homeand kept oneflower next toBenji. That verynight Benji went

    to sleep forever and wasrested peacefully. Thisincidence increased bothmine and my daughters faithin Baba. He is always there forme, and is guiding me.Vidya Sinha, Bollywood actress

    1. Dont worry. Behappy.

    2.There is no sadhana(discipline) greater than Love, there is no law higher thanlove , and there is no goal

    that is beyond love, for loveis in its divine state becomesinfinite .God and love areidentical , and one who hasdivine love already has god.

    3. Love is dynamic inaction and contagious ineffect. Pure love ismatchless in majesty ,it hasno parallel in power andthere is no darkness it cannot dispel .

    4. Love is essentiallyself-communicative: Thosewho do not have it catch itfrom those who have it.Those who receive lovefrom others cannot be its

    recipients without giving aresponse which, in itself, isthe nature of Love. True loveis unconquerable andirresistible. It goes ongathering power andspreading until eventually ittransforms everyone ittouches.

    5. To love one soul islike adding its life to your own.your life is, as it were,multiplied and you virtuallylive in two centres. If you lovethe whole world, you

    vicariously live in the wholeworld.

    6. A constant wish tolove and be loving, and anon-calculating will tosacrifice in every walk of life,

    high and low, big and small,between home and office,states and cities, countriesand continents.

    7. When you areprepared in your heart ofhearts to gain Union withGod at the cost of life itselfand the ridicule of the wholeworld, then perhaps youmay be said to have enteredthe lane of divine love.

    8. God is love. And lovemust Love. And to Lovethere must be a beloved. Butsince God is existenceinfinite and eternal, there isno one for him to love but

    himself. And in order to lovehimself he must imaginehimself as the belovedwhom he as the loverimagines he loves.

    9. To get nearer andnearer to God, you have toget further and further fromI my, me and mine.

    10. Live such a life oflove, sacrifice, forgivenessand tolerance that others willlove me. If, instead of doingthe real work of love, youstart organised propaganda

    for me, it is absurd. I needno propaganda or publicity Ido not want publicity orpropaganda, but I do wantlove and honesty. If youcannot live the life of love and

    honesty, you should stopworking for me.11. Spirituality is

    neither restricted to, nor canit be restricted by anyone oranything, anywhere at anytime. It covers all life for alltime.

    12. I have not come toestablish retreats orashrams. I create them forthe purpose of my universalwork, only to repeatedlydismantle them once theirpurpose has been served.

    13. If instead of erectingchurches, temples andmosques, people were toestablish a house forbeloved God in their hearts;my work would have beendone.

    14. Those who truelylove me are my centres inthe world. Let each Babalover wherever he or shemay be, be a Baba centrepersonified radiating theeternal message of lovedivine, living a life of love,sacrifice and honesty.-Compiled by Vikas Mehta
