The Tendulkar family and saibaba

The Tendulkar family members were residents of Bandra in Mumbai. They were true devotees of Saibaba. Savitribai Tendulkar wrote Sri Sainath Bhajanmala describing the saileelas. Their son Babu Tendulkar was studying hard for medicine and wanted to appear for the exams that year. But some astrologers who examined his horoscope told them that planets were not in his favour that year and advised him not to appear for his exams that year. This made him restless and depressed. After some days his mother went for sai darshan and told baba about her son's condition. Sai then told her to let her son study hard and appear for the exams that year ignoring all the astrologer's predictions.

Savitri bai went back and conveyed baba's message to her son. Babu felt relieved and studied hard and appeared for written exams. He didnt appear for the practical exams thinking he would get the required marks for passing. But the examiners sent a word to him that he cleared written exams and asked him to appear for the practicals. He then appeared for practicals also and cleared his medicine that year.

Difficulties and doubts surround us to make our devotion stable and strong. If we continue to put our efforts with true devotion towards baba our efforts would be fruitful.
