I believe, the same is the case with you. Your parents are Theists and religiously inclined and are devotees of Sathya Sai Baba. So are you!!! You are Sai devotee and you are religiously/spiritually inclined. May be your attitude, perceptions and style of spirituality may differ from your parents. But, you are into spirituality!!!

Dear Ravi,

You know all of us became Sathya Sai Baba followers becos of my elder brother.
When my elder brother was 12 years old he brought home a pic of Sathya Sai Baba and Shiridi Baba from school.

A Chinese friend who was a Sai Devotee told my brother to pray to Baba.

My parents accepted the photo from my elder brother and the rest is history.

So it was my elder brother who was instrumental in making us Baba followers.

Yes you are right about the spirituality part...I never had a doubt ever in my mind about God even though when I was young I never always joined prayers at home or even in temples.

I was always a bit uncomfortable to pray in front of many people and loved to pray alone when no one was around.

My parents mistook that as me being disinterested in God and in fact they were afraid I would grow up to be an Atheist!!LOL

It was just that I like one to one personal feeling when I pray and do not like crowd.

Even now I prefer praying alone cos I still feel a bit uncomfortable in group prayer.

Thank for you lovely post Ravi.
