In this post, sharing Ram Raksha Stotra as per the direction and guidance of our beloved Sadguru Sai Baba through a series of incidents that followed each other in the last three days. The post is the first of its kind on this blog that content other than Sai Baba is being shared. Whatever God I see or when I go to any temple, my heart calls out Baba, as I happen to see Baba in all other Gods. After I became a devotee of Baba, I had always been reading and researching about Baba, and never did think of going through any other scriptures. The only intention to read those scriptures was to share with you all and all should gain knowledge of how Baba was and what He wanted from His devotees. But now seems like Baba wants me to throw some light on “Ram Raksha Stotra”. We have always experienced that whatever Baba wills, He will skillfully pull up the strings and the result is we start wondering and connecting the dots. The same was done by Him with me and thus you are reading this post. Kindly allow me to share the Leela. Sai sister Pooja has been an inseparable part of Sai Yug Network team since 2015 and because of her, we became a part of many spiritual ventures. Round the year she will be helpful like my right hand and only once or twice a year she will require my help. She called me on Tuesday (April 13, 2021) saying that she had written a write-up but her schedule for the day was very much occupied, so it won’t be easy for her to finalize the post and publish it. She requested I take care of it. I happily took responsibility and started the work. I had the initial idea of the content and essence of the post as she has discussed the blueprint with me two days before. Also, Baba and Pooja had given me the responsibility of designing the creative which usually our volunteer designers will be doing. I finished reading, and editing the post in two hours and then proceeded with other blog works. We were waiting for volunteers to forward important inputs for the post, so I waited to publish it. You may like to read the post “Sai Ram Chants For Creating Positive Energy During Pandemic” as what I am going to share further seems a continuation of the post. The next morning I received a text from a devotee on WhatsApp that why not encourage chanting of “Ram Raksha Stotra” which also acts as a powerful shield. She shared a video when I replied to her that unfortunately, I had no idea about the stotra. I went through the video but could not complete watching it fully. All I understood was that the mantra has power accumulated in it and it should reach many. On Thursday, when I was reading chapter 18-19 of Shri Sai Satcharitra as a part of my daily reading, I came across these lines “The Sadguru is like a monsoon cloud. He pours down profusely, i.e., scatters widely his nectar-like teachings. These, we should enjoy and assimilate to our heart’s content; and then serve others with them, without any reserve. This rule should apply, not only to what he teaches in our waking state but to the visions he gives us in our dreams. To quote an instance: Budhakowshik Rishi composed his celebrated Ram-raksha stotra, which he had seen in his dream.” I was absolutely stunned with goosebumps all over my body, I have been reading Shri Sai Satcharitra for the last 15 years yet I am unaware of the fact, never ever noticed it. Proceeding further, I was reading chapter 24 as a part of my reading for MahaParayan. I was again stunned to read this “All Saints agree on and lay stress upon the efficacy of uttering Rama’s (God’s) name, in fulfilling the ambitions of the Bhaktas and in protecting and saving them from all calamities.” The same day I had talked with my aunty through my mother who intended to read Ram Raksha Stotra as Navratri is going on, but somehow she had misplaced the book from which was to read. I was again stunned to hear the name of the same mantra from a person with whom I talked after several months. Then my mother shared that she used to group recite the mantra in her kitty party group during both the Navratris of the year. She added, dad also used to read the mantra. Stunned to the heights, I asked Baba, “What do You want me to do, please clarify”. This wasn’t enough when the same devotee again shared another piece of information about the mantra as in the screenshot below. “Oh what I am supposed to do now”, I asked Baba, if the post by Pooja was not complete and these incidents should be quoted as continuation there, or if He wants me to take up this one on this blog. Thinking further, I came to the conclusion that already four days of Naam Saptah have passed, and by the time the post is live, one or two more days will have passed. So why not take it up for Ramnavami as the first day of the reading to start with the stotra can be recited regularly thereafter? The next day I shared all the series of the incidents with my mother and then with Pooja. Baba had already decked me up with a write-up for a new blog (ShirdiSaiBabaDevotees.com) coming up this Ramnavami and the contents are very technical for me to comprehend. Getting deeper into the information to write a post, I was full of awe and surprise. While I was still trying to work upon those facts, Baba created this series of incidents instructing me to write and lay emphasis on the Ram Raksha Stotra in this difficult time when we are losing a … Continue reading Sai Baba Guides To Ram Raksha Stotra
