What to do when a shirdi saibaba devotee is depressed
Living with Shirdi Saibaba No Comments »This afternoon on sunday - feb 24th 2008 Baba helped me write something to motivate you , heal you and bring some fresh good pure thoughts in you…..
I had been in depression for years since 1999…I dont know why i am like this…Positively speaking the failures in my life took me closer to God or you can say i become more and more religious. My faith that someday Sai , Shiva and all the Goddess i love will help me increased 1000 folds.
What to do when a shirdi saibaba devotee is depressed :
we are depressed because of so many things in life…the worst thing now a days is due to problems between friends, parents, love life and also marital life…Some are depressed because of financial and career problems.
Depression is caused by blah blah blah…..i am not a researcher ..am a little servant of sai and my way of thinking why depression is caused is just to say ” its because we would have spoiled someone else happiness during our present or past birth or our ancestors would have spoiled others happiness and peace of mind”
Hence now in this moment we are paying back our past deed…we are undergoing sufferings due to pains and depression..
What can we do :
I will suggest you read sai satcharita …can you..You cant because depression wont allow you to read one page without forgetting your pains..then whats the use of reading
I will suggest you to chant sai sai sai…remembering shirdi saibaba sitting near dhuni n blessing you…can you do it…you cant because simply you wont like it
i will suggest you to divert your mind by talking to good friends whom u believe sai gave you but now a days no is there near us when we are in pain
i will be happy if u do some pooja like
but if u cant do all the above then the only was is to do the following
Steps to pray Shird sai and feel peace in you
1. Look at a Shirdi Saibaba photo …it could be a photo in u r house or a little photo..if you dont have a photo then better look at any photo you can see in this website
2. As long as you can ….for more than 30 minutes …STOP YOUR THOUGHTS.
3. Stopping the mind to work is not easy…it will work…contineously…So do this….take deepppppppp breath in and breath outttttttttt
4. Then give commands to u r mind
” For next 30 minutes to as long as i can , i am going to think shirdi saibaba whole heartedly”
say this 10 times… the above words…
5. Imagine shirdi saibaba is living in your own mind only…then how can worries and pains be there…imagine saibaba is cleaning your past and present births sins….
6. Thanks sai by chanting
Sai sai sai
sai sai sai
sai sai sai
7. Remember shirdi saibabas assurance
“If you chant my Name “SAI SAI SAI ” forever, all your sins will be washed away and your life will be filled with peace and happiness”
8.Remembering the above shirdi saibabas assurance thank and meditate on shirdi saibaba
you can sing any bhajan if not only chant SAI SAI SAI….
9.If you have shirdi saibaba Arathi songs or any devotional songs, play it and listen to it…Make sure your eyes are only on the shirdi saibaba photo or statue and especially look sharply towards shirdi saibabas eyes alone…
10. Take deep breath chanting
SAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
SAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
SAIIIIIIIII
11.Now feel saibaba is there for you..He is talking to you…speaking with you…
Vow..the greatest saint whom even other saints called as
“SAINT OF SAINTS”
is deeply concerned about you and blessing you…
12. Thank sai for this blessings….
Look deeply into saibabas eyes…
Thank him ..the way to thank sai is just to chant
SAI SAI SAI………..
Say it whole heartedly..deeply..with full mind towards sai and sai aloneeeeeeeeee
13. If you are at home then offer some water in a vessel to saibaba and also light a lamp or candle…
14. If not…again n again chanttttttttttttt
the key to gain shirdi saibabas blessings is only to whole heartedly say
sai sai sai
sai sai sai
sai sai sai
15. Continue this practice above in your own way…there are no rules what you must chant and how u must imagine…i have given only example…..make sure sai cares for you with pure motherly affection
16. Dear friend, Now feel light in you…Sai wont do miracle instantly like mordern false gurus of these days….Sai works based on laws of nature and karma …so it takes time to change your life …but changing your mind set can happen this very moment..
All you have to do is deeeply feeel the Shirdi saibaba who is residing as “Antarvasini ” in your own heart….
I have tried my best to help shirdi saibaba devotees who are in pain and depression friends…You alone can change your life…do not expect anything from others..Sai itself is in your mind….what else you need ?
TOTAL SURRENDER TO SAI MEANS TELLING BABA MY DESIRES my life my everything my dreams all is for you and you bless me with what you think is right ….
Again take a deeeeeeeeeeeep breath in and out
Remember sai is in love with you ..
Shirdi saibaba has been following you for several births
This sai knows how to bring you peace
This moment and the many more days, weeks and months to come, Promise me that you will chant SAI SAI SAI
Look deeply in to shirdi saibabas photo here and promise yourself
“Baba,
Every breath i take
every move i make
I will be remembering you
My mind will always repeat your name
Sai sai sai
Sai sai sai
Sai sai sai”
Hope i have tried to help you friends…
well how i wrote it because i have faced such a pain for years and i know how many people are seeking Shirdi saibabas help not knowing the help is hiding in their own mind and habit…
Make it a habit to deeply feel sai sai sai…
Aum sri sai ram
Sincerely
Venkat Raman
