Sandhya Tai
My name is Mrs. Sandhya Jitendra Bhobe, and I come from Mahim, Mumbai. Like many
homemakers, I have long been immersed in the responsibilities of family life supporting my husband,
raising our child, and nurturing our home. But amidst these duties, I carried within me a quiet longing a
deep inner desire for solitude, a pull toward the Himalayas, and a search for something beyond the
ordinary.
While such a retreat was not practically possible, destiny had its own plans. My spiritual journey truly
began when Shri Balkrishna Maharaj unexpectedly entered my life. His presence brought a divine and
transformative art, gently awakening something deep within me. Through his guidance, I slowly began to
experience a shift a new direction toward spirituality and self-realization.
Even before this turning point, I had a strong connection with Shri Sai Baba, who led me to complete the
sacred reading of the Shri Sai Charitra. From this, I received several divine experiences—including what I
believe was a true ‘darshan’ of Shri Sai himself. Yet, like many ordinary seekers, I often wondered: “Was
this real? Could this truly happen?” These doubts reflected the softness of my spiritual foundation. But
everything began to change with Shri Balkrishna Maharaj’s guidance. The questions stopped. My faith
deepened. My journey became real. I realized that the true teacher, or ‘guide’, comes into one’s life at
the perfect time—not necessarily someone world-famous or miraculous, but someone who speaks to your soul
and inspires unwavering trust. What matters most is faith, not form.
