Sai baba helps me understand a subject to write my MBA exams well

Frustration and fear to write MBA exams :

A week before i was wondering , if i will really write my MBA exams..it was first year in distance learning . I lost interest in mba from feb and march father fell ill and other issues. I was really frustrated. The day to get hall ticket came.

My friend vidudhalai and i collected it. He said dont worry about past. Work hard for this one week and do your best. Study now . Thats enough. The way he said made me feel, i should give atleast this satisfaction to my parents and i worked hard ..Almost all the exams were good accept Accounts and another i was scared about was a subject “Quantitative techniques in Management”

Even last week when my sai friend sasikala and others wished me i felt how i am going to do well when i dint prepare . Dint even touch book .. Only on day before exam i have to read the entire book, understand clealy and write. It was hectic , head will pain as its all easy to understand but all new knowledge as i suppose is too big for my brain to accomodate. Ha ha..Then i was sleep at 10.30 ….i wont be able to sleep, i read books about sai and shree paadha shree vallabha ..Only after 2 in night i can sleep due to fear how i will write next days exam.

Studying on the day before exams :

Not recommonded but what to do , i am following this strategy followed by numerous students doing distance education..Its hard but thats what we are able to do.

Every day exams went well..Accounts was ok..Hope i pass.passing is enough for me.. But i was scared about this QT.

Today there was exam called quantitative techniques….it was too hard for me to follow n i told saibaba help me n asked him to pass the  exam..

its not something we can learn in a day as am writing all exams learning the day before

i got a beautiful dream like this

i get down a car with relatives like my uncle aunt n cousins..we r about to go into a house where theres  a guru like saibaba

as soon as we get down theres a man standing like he is taking care of the visitors with a pad …he asks us our names..someone says we are regular visitors.

i have a doubt about this man doing enquiry and feel the saint may be a false saint just making money

then i go inside house and it looks too primitive..the old man over 100 years in age. He was laid down ina  cart..woke up and said something from sai satcharitra which i had read before meeting him.

he says something like ” you wont believe me and you are coming here”

then i realized he is one with sainath or sai himself.
He shows me a roulette like the casino but its made of wood and too ancient look.

He gives me a huge photography book..i saw the picture of a boy and a man walking in a very scenic landscape ..since i was into filmmaking before 6-7 years , i get a feeling to make movies like this…

i ask him is it america or europe .The saint says its Asia.

Then there was a lady very young who said ” we have told you many times you dint listen” ..she says something like Try Cinematography. … actually years back it was my dream to be a cinematographer.

then i thank her and go our to the car

as soon as i woke up i realized the dream i had sometime back..it was already 6.15 AM. i have to start to exams at 7.

I looked at sai photo and told him

“why you care for me so much sai”

you know the dream helped me understand what its all about…I felt the subject is not too hard as its all life is probability which is part of quantitative techniques.

in the dream first i doubt

1. if the saint is good or not
2. i go inside, the saint speaks about words in sai satcharitra and i realized he is a good saint.
3. the roullete of casino explains theres so much game in life too…in the dream it was too primitive as if its how many take decisions in life related to marrying the right person, choosing the right career ..

4.Then when the saint gives me a beautiful huge photography book i realized my past connection with filmmaking as i liked the landscape with a blue tint …a man and a little boy walking…
i ask the saint

is it America or europe
( this again is probability ..there are chances the landscape or something we see could be this or that )

Saint says its Asia.

finally the lady inside who was young says “You never listen try cinematography” …it was like a career i lost track of years back coming back to mind.

the dream for others may mean odd ..to me it was like how saibaba answered the doubt of a devotee through a maid servant in kakasahad dixits house which comes in sai satcharitra

the dream helped me get clear idea about the subject that it deals with the probability of success and failure in business, for decision making using various mathemetical concepts and ofcourse i realized the connection between all the knowledge in this world and saints…

Saints are beyond the knowledge and wordly concept of Business management , mathametics, technology and science.

Somehow my silly idea was to learn the probablity chapter in the book. I just went through it but was not able to learn deeply as it was already late.

Later while going in bus to exam center , a friend of mine explained me the concepts in travelling sales man problem. I learnt it clearly.

When  i went to exam center all the boys and girls were seriously studying as all they need is to pass as its difficult subject having said we had less than 4-5 classes for this….to me it was like too late to study..i would have learnt before but yes its distance learning and all of us learn only on the day before exam.

I closed my eyes and realized this

how many millions of sai devotees go to saibaba before of this probability factor in life…

1. will i get this boy/girl as my wife or not.
2.will i get a peaceful married life or not.
3. will i get a good job, will my health improve.

so many times sai would have used various ways allowed ethically by the rules of nature and karma to alter our fate. I told to myself

‘Sai decided to pass me in this exam and its sai baba whos writing the exam and i must write it with out panic and smile and no matter what questions are asked i will write.”

when i went into the exam hall , got the question paper, the 3rd question was

3.Discuss the applications of probability in business ?

Although i dint know the answer based on how it appears in the book, i clearly got idea about how to present and gave case studies of Jet airways and Volswagan small cars in India and another question was related to the one explained by my friend in the bus.

I din’t do the exam very well like many students as we all study the day before exam but i have enough proof to say ‘ sai decided to pass me and he has helped me”

I came outside and talking to other friends in the ground. I told them how i got clear idea about subject by the dream of saibaba… deep inside i felt should we share these things to people who dunno much about saibaba.

I told to saibaba in my mind, sai , i can’t stop myself saying this beautiful leela.

I took the bus and near me was a sales man speaking on phone to his clients and customers.I realized what ever we learn in MBA , there are people who apply it for their living with out any idea of formal studies.

My exams will be over on 16th may 2010 and next year i have to write 8 exams ..i am sure saibaba will surely be with me , guide me and help me gain knowledge.

I told my friends, hardwork is important at the same time a guru’s guidance is also important to gain knowledge,wisdom and prosperity and for all the probabilities in life.

Even when i write this , i wonder why saibaba takes care of me so much ? May be because sai wants me to spread the message to all who work hard in their education and career.

When you are worried about exams or need to improve specific skill in office and cant understand something, worship sai and goddess saraswati , surely they will help you.

Filtering udi in nagasai mandhir :

Last week the day before exams, i was worried in the dhuni tank was full of udi which has to be filtered. I could have used that time to studing for first exam but i told myself my gurus work is important , went and all alone filtered 2 sacks of udi, kept inside the temple and came with satisfaction. While filtering udi i was chanting

“Sai saraswathi,

sai saraswathi

sai saraswathi”

praying that who ever applies this udi , all the thousands of children , men and women be blessed with good education and knowledge if they work hard by grace of sainath.

I did the work sai baba gave me and saibaba has helped me being close to me, holding my head and hand when i do my exams all through this week.

Who can stop when a guru wants you to be successful.

I have tears in my eyes and feel like asking

“Sai, why you do so much for me ? ”

Sai saraswathi bless all of you with good knowledge , peace and prosperity

  • Venkat I really appreciate your great devotion for Baba. But Baba will guide you and help only when you do something on your part. Pure devotion and sincere dedication is very important but apart from that hardwork and sincere effort has to come for your part then only Baba will guide you and make you sucessfull in your career. Recently i went to saibaba temple in Florida and every day they will read a story about Baba. In that story ‘ A lady is a pure devotee of Saibaba she goes to to see Baba everyday with food and sweets and her everyday prayer is that her son should be very sucessful in studies and will spend most of her time in the temple. When the results came her son failed and she was devastated and very depressed she goes to see Baba and asks Baba ” Baba, my only prayer is to make my son succesful in his studies but today he failed why did you do this to me” Baba replies ” Matha, yes i did hear your prayers and you are my very strong devotee you kept on praying my son should do good in studies but what did you do your part? did you helped him with his studies or did you took care of his studies. Tell me what did you do on your part” the lady replied ” Baba, i left all of my burdens on you and i thought you will take care of him” Baba replied ” I did took care of your burdens but pure devotion alone is not enough you have to do some contributions on your part”

    So Venkat please don’t think Iam trying to advice you , I am just saying career is more important if you work hard on your career Baba will be very happy. Baba wants you to spend more time for yourselves as you have to take care of your parents. Your parents will be very much worried if you don’t do anything on your part, hurting parents is like hurting Baba.

    Your Wellwisher

  • SaiRam Venkat,

    om sai ram….
