You will enter his fold only if willed by him. Swami chooses his children.  All that he wants is to have faith and completely surrender to him. Everything happens for a reason and he chooses the best for us.

Having entered Swami’s fold at a very young age, this divine journey has been beautiful and continues to be beautiful. Entering and belonging to Swami’s fold is the biggest blessing and a very rare opportunity that one can get. I am blessed to be a part of His fold. Swami has always been my light. He has been holding my hand and guiding me throughout and when I am in trouble He has carried me through. He has moulded my character and has always given me the best.

I met Swami at Dharmakshetra (Mumbai), for the very first time. I remember seeing Him at a distance. Later, I saw Him at the Kodaikanal ashram. This time Bhagawan walked towards the devotees and looked at me. From then till now I am a part of His Divine fold. There have been several miracles and beautiful experiences in this journey.

It was the time to apply to universities for my Masters in Food Science. Usually, students apply to several universities. I chose only one – McGill University. I applied to the university and got an interview call from them after several days. That day of the interview, there was no internet access for some reason. I couldn’t attend the online interview. All the other candidates had interviews except me and I lost all my hopes.

No interview, just one university and I got accepted! By Swami’s grace, I got an offer letter from McGill. This was a big turning point in my life. After coming to Canada, I was blessed to be a part of the Montreal Sathya Sai Youth and the Mississauga Sathya Sai Youth. Both the centres have given me beautiful experiences and we share a wonderful bond.

Mississauga Sai centre has always supported me, been my motivation and considered me as a very close family member. We are a small Sai family and have always been together. It is only with Swami’s blessing that I got to be a part of the centre.

Montreal Sai Youth, the group that defies odds but a group that implements structure in the most elegant of ways. We are a very strong group of individuals that come from many aspects of life. From talented singers to powerful artists, we are a loving family that accepts anyone and everyone for who they are. Our group consists of teachers, up and coming doctors all the way to heavy metal lovers. What makes us powerful is the bond called H2H (Heart 2 Heart).  No matter what or where we are in life we always have a connection to pick up the phone and just say hey! We wander but we always find ourselves back home! We are Montreal Sai Youth!

I must thank Swami for all the wonderful opportunities He has showered and the values He has taught me. He devoted His entire life for making our lives better and giving us the best. Swami has always made my life easier, filled it with very pleasant experiences and taken care of me immensely.
