Shri Shirdi Sai Speaks-25th June/ Wonderful leelas during my Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Posted: 24 Jun 2012 10:44 PM PDT Om Sai Ram Picture of the day Shri Shirdi Saibaba temple in Kathmandu, Nepal This was the Sai temple outside my resort in Kathmandu,Nepal.. I guess it was Sai's way of telling me that no matter where u go -- I will be with you..So before starting my yatra -- I took Baba's blessings over here in Kathmandu and then after I came back to Kathmandu from Tibet--I went back to this temple to pay my respects and say THANKS to Sai for being with me at every step..If Baba would not have been with me on this Kailash Mansarovar Yatra- Completing the Parikrama would have been an impossible task for me.. There were 76 devotees in our group who started for the kailash parikrama but only 12 of us were able to complete the whole parikrama by foot and by the grace of lord shiva and my sadguru sainath,- I was one of the 12 devotees. It took us 3 days to complete the Kailash Parikrama but the second day was the one that will be remembered by all 12 of us till the end of our lives. I walked for 12 hrs that day on ice, melting snow, mud, stones and even on yak dung.It was the day when I chanted the Maha Mritunjaya Mantra continously in my heart and when I was tired- I even cried and had my own personal chat session with Lord Shiva..At about 20,000 ft above sea level where oxygen was just abt close to 50-60% - my lungs were hurting to such an extent that I told my friends that I feel that my lungs were bleeding and my heart will stop beating at any second..But I guess in all that pain I forgot, why fear when Baba is near... It all started when I had gone to Shirdi in Jan of 2012 and I was praying to Baba that it is my wish to go for the kailash mansarovar yatra and I wanted Baba to show me a miracle and make it possible for me to go there..Baba answered my prayers and all the plans were set to go..But abt 2 weeks before my yatra ,something in my heart said that after I complete the yatra-I should go to shirdi and say Thanks to baba for making this dream turn into reality but my tickets were all booked by then and I was suppose to depart from delhi.I tried to make changes with my ticket so that I could be in mumbai on the 11th and go to shirdi on the 12th and then return to delhi on the 13th of june but it was quite hard to make the changes so I just dropped the idea but I really really wanted to be in shirdi on the 12th of june.. And they say na, you move one step towards Baba and He will move 100 steps towards you .. this is what exactly happened.. I was in the Sai temple in kathmandu on the 12th of june attending the evening aarti and god alone knows what happened to the priest -- out of so many people he called me in the front -- gave me the arti thali and asked me to start the arti.. I had goose bumps all over my body and tears started rolling down my eyes..Once more I gave my Salute to Baba and  to his wonderful leelas in my life.. Sai bhakt, Deepa H
