कष्टों की काली छाया दुःख दाई है

जीवन में घोर उदासी लाई है

संकट को तालो साईं दुहाई है

तेर सिवा ना कोई सहाई है

मेरे मन तेरी मूरत समाई है

हर पल हर क्षण महिमा गई है

घर मेरे कष्टों की अंधी आई है

आपने क्यों मेरी सुध भुलाई है

तुम भोले नाथ हो दया निधान हो

तुम हनुमान हो महा बलवान हो

तुम्ही हो राम और तुम्ही श्याम हो

सारे जगत में तुम सबसे महान हो

तुम्ही महाकाली तुम्ही माँ शारदे

करता हु प्रार्थना भव से तार दे

तुम्ही मोहमद हो गरीब निवाज हो

नानक की वाणी में ईसा के साथ हो

तुम्ही दिगंबर तुम्ही कबीर हो

हो बुध्ध तुम्ही और महावीर हो

सारे जगत का तुम्ही आधार हो

निराकार भी और साकार हो

करता हु वंदना प्रेम विश्वास से

सुनो साईं अल्लाह के वास्ते

अधरों में मेरे नहीं मुस्कान है

घर मेरा बनने लगा स्मशान है

रेहेम नज़र करो उझदे वीरान पे

जिंदगी सवरेगी एक वरदान से

पापो की धुप से तन लगा हारने

आपका ये दास लगा पुकारने

अपने सदा ही लाज बचाई है

देर न हो जाए मन शंकाई है

धीरे धीरे धीरज ही खोता है

मन में बसा विश्वास ही रोता है

मेरी कल्पना साकार कर दो

सुनी जिंदगी में रंग भर दो

ढोते ढोते पापो का भर जिंदगी से

मैं हार गया जिंदगी से

नाथ अवगुण अब तो बिसारो

कष्टों की लहर से आके उबारो

करता हु पाप मैं पापो की खान हु

ज्ञानी तुम ज्ञानेश्वर मैं अज्ञान हु

करता हु पग पग पर पापो की भूल मैं

तार दो जीवन ये चरणों की धुल से

तुमने उजड़ा हुआ घर बसाया

पानी से दीपक भी तुमने जलाया

तुमने ही शिर्डी को धाम बनाया

छोटे गाँव में स्वर्ग सजाया

कष्ट पाप श्राप उतारो

प्रेम दया दृष्टि से निहारो

आप का दास हु ऐसे न टालिए

गिरने लगा हु साईं संभालिये

साइजी बालक मैं अनाथ हु

तेरे भरोसे रहता दिन रात हु

जैसा भी हु, हु तो आपका

कीजे निवारण मेरे संताप का

तू है सवेरा और मैं रात हु

मेल नहीं कोई फिर भी साथ हु

साईं मुझसे मुख न मोडो

बिच मजधार अकेला न छोडो

आपके चरणों में बसे प्राण है

तेरे वचन मेरे गुरु सामान है

आपकी रहो पे चलता दास है

ख़ुशी नहीं कोई जीवन उदास है

आंसू की धरा है डूबता किनारा

जिंदगी में दर्द नहीं गुजारा

लगाया चमन तो फोल खिलाओ

फूल खिले हैं तो खुशबु भी लाओ

कर दो इशारा तो बात बन जाये

जो किस्मत में नहीं वो मिल जाये

बिता ज़माना ये गाके फ़साना

सरहदे जिंदगी मौत का तराना

देर हो गयी है अँधेरे न हो

फ़िक्र मिले लेकिन फरेब न हो

देके तालो या दमन बचा लो

हिलने लगी रघुनाई संभालो

तेरे दम पे अल्लाह की शान है

सूफी संतो का ये बयान है

गरीब की झोली में भर दो खजाना

ज़माने के वाली करो न बहाना

दर के भिखारी हैं मोहताज है हम

शहंशाहे आलम करो कुछ करम

तेरे खजाने में अल्लाह की रहमत

तुम सद्गुरु हो समर्थ

आए तो धरती पे देने सहारा

करने लगे क्यूँ हम से किनारा

जब तक ये ब्रह्माण्ड रहेगा

साईं तेरा नाम रहेगा

चाँद तारे तुम्हे पुकारेंगे

जन्मो जनम हम रास्ता निहारेंगे

आत्मा बदलेगी चोले हज़ार

हम मिलते रहेंगे हार बार

आपके कदमो में बैठे रहेंगे

दुखडे दिल के कहते रहेंगे

आपके मरज़ी है दो या न दो

हम तो कहेंगे दमन भी भर दो

तुम हो दाता हम है भिखारी

सुनते नहीं क्यूँ अरज हमारी

अच्छा चलो एक बात बता दो

क्या नहीं तुम्हारे पास बता दो

जो नहीं देना है इन्कार कर दो

ख़त्म ये आपस की तकरार कर दो

लौट के खली चला जाऊंगा

फिर भी गुण तेरे गाऊंगा

जब तक काया है तब तक माया हैं

इसी में दुखों का मूल समय हैं

सब कुछ जान के अनजान हु मैं

अल्लाह की तू शान तेरी हु शान मैं

तेरा करम सदा सबपे रहेगा

ये चक्र युग युग चलता रहेगा

जो प्राणी जायेगा साईं तेरो नाम

उसको मिले मुक्ति पुह्चे परम धाम

ये मंत्र जो प्राणी नित गायेंगे

राहू, केतु, शनि निकट न आएंगे

टल जायेंगे संकट सारे

घर में दास वास करे सुख सारे

जो श्रद्धा से करेगा पठन

उस परे देव सभी हो प्रसन्न

रोग समूह नष्ट हो जायेंगे

कष्ट निवारण मंत्र जो गायेंगे

पल में दूर हो सब पाप

जो ये पुस्तक नित दिन बाचे

लक्ष्मीजी घर उसके सदा बिराजे

ज्ञान बुद्धि प्राणी वो पायेगा

कष्ट निवारण में जो ध्यायेगा

ये मंत्र भक्तो कमल करेगा

आई जो अनहोनी तो टाल देगा

भूत-प्रेत भी रहेंगे दूर

इस मंत्र में साईं शक्ति भरपूर

जपते रहे जो मंत्र अगर

संशय न लाना विश्वास जगाना

ये मंत्र सुखो का है खजाना

इस पुस्तक में साईं का वास

साईं दया से ही लिख पाया दास

Shri Baba Converts "No" into "Yes"

Four years preceding 1976, much though I wished to appear for B.A. Examination; I could not do so. For some or other urgent domestic problems invariably cropped up at the examination time compelling me to give up the idea of doing the Examination.

 

Finally, I resolved that come what may, I would do it in October, 1976. Accordingly, I saw my Officer and spoke to him of my plans. He bluntly told me that he would not sanction my leave and advised me to appear in 1977. Despite my Officer's "No" I made an application for leave and sincerely prayed Shri Baba to sanction it.

 

On the day I wrote my application, the Chairman of our Bombay Port Trust, visited our Office and was pleased with the Work-diary maintained by me. The Officer, who, had declined to sanction my leave had accompanied the Chairman with our Head of Department. He too was pleased. Next day, I was informed that my leave was sanctioned by the Officer who had earlier refused to do so.

I thanked Shri Baba for converting “No” into “Yes”.

Shri Sai Baba's Divine Grace

My first experience of the miracle of Shri Sai was in the year 1942. I was posted as Medical Officer of Civil Centre at Ananthapur in June, during Second World War After taking charge of the post, leaving my wife and child in traveler’s bunga­low; I went in search of a house. Sri Hanumanthrao, a leading Criminal Advocate of the place, whom I met, was very kind to promise to get me a suitable house within a few days. Because I happened to be a doctor, he was anxious to take me to his brother-in-law's house, Shri Ramaswamy, an Advocate and an ardent devotee of Shri Saibaba. The time was 7 p. m.

 

Shri Ramaswamy was sitting in the puja room and praying to Baba with implicit devotion. His wife and other members of the family were in the front varandah crying loudly. After enquiry, I learnt that their daughter Pramila a girl of 6 years had sustained severe burns all over the body upto neck because her pavadai had caught fire when she was doing Pradakshinam to Tulasi Brindavan where a number of mud oil lamps were lit on account of Uttana Dwadashi (festival of Shri Krishna at Brindavan). This had happened about ten days back. Her body was full of foul smelling pus, having lots of maggots (young worms of flies). She was being treated at the local Government hospital. She was unconscious for nearly six days with high temperature and had not taken even a drop of water during the period. As her con­dition deteriorated, the relatives were asked to take the girl home in a serious condition in anticipation of an early end. That was the scene at my entry. As soon as I entered the house, Shri Hanumanthrao introduced me as a doctor from Madras. Shri Ramaswamy, who was praying in the puja room, immediately came out and exclaimed, "Shri Saibaba has sent the medical aid at the critical time." He asked me immediately to examine the girl and treat the case suitably. I was dumbfounded because I had not heard of any Saibaba before and more so it appeared that the condition of the patient was beyond any human help. However, being a doctor, I had to face the emergency. I went back to traveler's bungalow to get my medical bag and inform my wife not to worry about me if I return late in the night on account of this emergency.

 

The patient had 104° temperature, pulse was rapid but feeble. She was not responding to any kind of stimuli. The pus was smelling very badly as it was full of maggots. After pro­tecting my nose with cloth, I cleaned the whole body, removed manually with forceps a number of maggots (nearly 180) and applied gauze soaked in cod liver oil over the wound. The girl did not show any sign of life during the whole process which took nearly 3 hours. As only sulfa drugs were available then, I got some M and B 693 tablets, powdered them and asked the mother to give it with honey in case the girl awoke in the night. Shri Ramaswamy applied Shri Sai's udhi on the forehead.

 

Next morning I was sure that the girl would not be alive. With great trepidation in my heart, I went to their house to know the position. There I saw the miracle of Shri Sai for the first time in my life. The girl was awake, had asked for water and milk in the night, which were given. Her general condition was very much improved. The temperature had touched normal and pulse full. She answered my questions clearly and fluently.

 

Everyday I used to visit their house to clean and dress the wounds. At the end of six months, the entire burnt area of her body had fully healed up, covered with healthy skin, without any trace of a scar. Baba's grace was primarily responsible for snatching that young girl from the jaws of death and I was only a tool in His hands. Soon after that, I was transferred to another centre in Madras.

 

Shri Ramaswamy told everyone that I was sent to Ananthapur by Baba to treat and save his daughter's life. When I left Ananthapur Sri Ramaswamy invited me and my wife to his house and gave, us a photo of Shri Saibaba and a packet of udhi, after a sumptuous meal. He asked me to worship Baba from that day. But my mind was still not receptive at that time to get His blessings. Being young and full of ego, I entirely forgot about the whole incident for nearly a decade when I was again reminded by Shri Sai.

 

I shall narrate my next experience of Baba with His blessings in the succeeding article in Shri Sai Leela.

 

With satsanga pranams to all knowing Shri Sai's incarnation of Sathya, Dharma, Prema and Shanthi.

P. S.

Pramila I learnt now is married and leading a very happy life with her husband and children in Hyderabad. We were extremely happy to meet her when she came to our house to invite us personally for her marriage some years back.

I have had the fortune (that too by Baba's grace) to witness His blessings on our lives. I do not know where to start from but from the time when I got a seat in MBA in 1994 to getting a suitable job in an IT company in India to marrying the person of my choice to moving to US and settling down here with my husband. His blessings and grace is unmeasurable. Everything that I have in my life now is because of His presence. There were very difficult times that I faced in my life which threw me into disappointment, discouragement and disheartenment, but all I knew I could do was to pray to Baba sincerely and with all my heart. But the emphasis was also on conducting properly in terms of duties and responsibilities, doing seva as Baba emphasizes, being true in heart and mind. The list goes on and even includes the time when I performed Sai parayan for seven weeks for conceiving. We had been trying for 6 months already and my age is certainly not on my side in this (am in my early-mid thirtiees). Miraculously for me, I conceived in the 7th week of reading. But we lost it in the 4th month. We certainly have not lost the hope though. Baba will surely bless me and my husband and I sincerely remember Him now and thank Him for all the mercies he showered on our lives. All that we want now is His grace that we hold a baby soon in our arms.

In the year 1991, I was trying for a good marriage alliance for my daughter but could not succeed in the process. It was on 01-01-92 New Year's day morning that I prayed to Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi and asked for a message regarding the marriage of my daughter. I closed my eyes and opened a page in the Sai Sat Charitra written by Sri Nagesh Vasudev Gunaji. To my surprise it was page 241 chapter 47 and the message was "I told him not to worry about this, as the bridegroom himself would come seeking her".

I was very happy as the message indicated the marriage of my daughter would take place in the year 1992. In the month of January 1992 a friend of mine took the necessary details of my daughter in the pursuit of finding a good groom. On 17-02-1992 I received a phone call from a person from Visakhapatnam interested in my daughter's details. I was in a dilemma and prayed to Baba. I had my prayer answered immediately by Baba to go ahead with the proposal.

The groom and their parents liked my daughter and on 20-02-1992, the marriage of my daughter was fixed. The marriage was fixed on 10-05-1992 at 06.58 a.m. in Hyderabad. I prayed to Baba to help me in the marriage activities and for the success of the marriage on 22-03-1992. When I was taking a nap in the afternoon, Sri Sai Baba appeared in my dream in the form of my Father (Late Sri R.V.Rao) and promised me that he will help me in my daughter's marriage and will also attend the marriage.

Chapter 40, page 212 in Sai Satcharitra, Baba has said "I always think about those who remember me, I require no conveyance, i.e carriage, Tonga, (Horse drawn Cart) or an Aero plane. I run and manifest myself to him, who lovingly calls on me". Baba has also said in Sai Satcharita page 151 chapter 28 "I have no form nor any extension - I live Everywhere" Baba has further told in chapter 40 page 213 "See, to keep my words I would even sacrifice my life, I would never be untrue to my words". I totally surrendered to Him and started with the marriage arrangements.

In the month of March 1992 wedding cards were printed out and as per the directions of Baba I had the first card posted to the Ganesh Temple, Ranathambhor, the second card to Balaji Temple, Tirupathi and the third card to Sri Sai Baba in Shiridi. Then I posted five cards abroad and prayed to Baba that at least one family from abroad should attend the wedding.

The day before the wedding I prayed to Baba to help me in carrying out the necessary activities. On the day of wedding I was very busy in the morning that I could not read the Sai Satcharita. I had gloated with pride about finding time to read the Sat Charitra every day. Sri Sai got me really busy that I was unable to read the Satcharitra, thereby removing my pride.

I should confess that I had totally forgotten Baba in the marriage activities. It was around 11.45 a.m when the pandit came to me along with a Brahmin and asked me to give some Dakshina to him. I thought the Brahmin must be his relative, and offered Rs.21/- as Dakshina. The Brahmin then enquired about the food and was sent to the dinning hall by the pandit to partake of the wedding meals.


I walked about the dinning hall inspecting the proper serving of the meals. I noticed the Brahmin smiling at me. I left the place thinking that he might ask for more money. Caught in the wedding activities I was unable to find time to even eat that day. After the Muharat in the morning my well wisher from U.S.A pointed out that had I not taken the breakfast, I would have taken up continuous fasting against Baba's words. Baba did not approve of fasting and never allowed His devotees to observe a fast. (Ref.Chapter 32 page 173). That night I prayed to Baba with gratitude for successfully organizing the wedding.

I was grateful to Baba for all His blessings and support, however I felt it was a breach of promise on the part of Baba for having not attended the wedding. But Baba was one who did not go against his words. Hence I humbly prayed to Baba requesting Him to show me the form with which he attended the wedding.
And lo! Baba appeared to me in my dream, smiling in the form of the Brahmin (who took Rs.21/- from me as Dakshina) I immediately presented myself in front of His picture sought his forgiveness blaming myself for not having recognized Him . The next day to quench my curiosity I enquired the pandit about the Brahmin. He informed that the Brahmin was a stranger who happened to attend the wedding. I felt that He was no stranger and was none other than the merciful Sai.

Bow to Shri Sai and peace be to all.

Chandana
This morning when I opened the Sai newsletter the first line which said "Don't worry" truly gave me goose bumps. Whenever I am nervous, or scared or worried about anything something from inside me says, "Don't worry". I always ignored that voice thinking my heart was trying to soothe me but never realized that Baba was trying to comfort me and re-assure me that everything is going to be alright. Whenever I was praying to Baba I always wondered if He was listening to me. My doubts were cleared because till today whatever I have prayed for Baba have come true. Baba, I owe my life to You and forever indebted to You. My daughter was born because of You. My husband got a wonderful job because of You. For all you Sai devotees out there any prayer sent out with sincerity and devotion is always listened by Baba


Achuttan
My younger sister's marraige proposals were not materializing, I was working in private company at Calcutta. When I was worried so much, my colleague (we call her Mami) asked, why you are gloomy now-a-days. I told her the story. She advised me to visit Shirdi Sai Temple at Calcutta for 7 Thursdays and pray well, then wait. I visited the temple every Thursday. Believe it or not, the proposal that was not materialized about 4 months back came again for consideration. Now she is married with the same person and having two children staying at Abu Dhabi, UAE. Her husband is working as Regional Finance Manager of a private company. This kindness of Baba, how can I forget Him.

An experience of Baba's grace and guidance

This is mere not an experience for me but it is a miracle Baba made it happen in my life. Whenever I used to read prayers and experiences of other devotees I used to roll on with tears in my eyes how Baba can be everywhere in the world to bring out devotees from their problems and sorrows. I really had some difficult time in my past about my family matters. I used to ask Baba every time why this is happening to me. Why can't I make people happy whom I love most in my life.

My sister whom I love most had a terrible past. To say in brief she had a love marriage and within a few months, she came to know she was cheated. Her husband was very kind in nature but then he was not having proper job. He didn't even finish his schooling and she is post-graduate. Life started to get tough for her. On and above her in-laws side were also were not supportive. I tried my level best to support her in every way.

However, that was not end of her problems, within a year of marriage we got to know that her husband is suffering from a fatal disease. It was a big shock for her and even to me. Her husband said not to disclose this news to his family since already they are not giving any support and if they will come to know about this disease he will die early than what he has destined. He couldn't do any kind of job. And my sister was suffering all that time. There was no income source for her, her husband needed attention all the time. Slowly his health started to get very bad. Being a realist, I asked her to get a divorce but since it was her love marriage, she did not want to leave him alone. The intention was to take divorce but not to leave him alone because he was at his final stage and if he would have passed away she would have remained as his widow, which I didn't want because in future life would have been much difficult for her, at least in Indian society to live behind as a widow of a person who died with disease.

In that process 5 years passed. My sister and I strongly believe in Saibaba. Every time I used to pray for her and asked Baba to give us strength to face difficulties in life. When things went out of hand, we informed her in-laws but then they were not ready to take responsibility of their own son. At that time, my sister started to work but her income was so less hardly she could take care of his and her daily life. In those circumstances, it was very difficult for her to take care of him. That time we came to a decision that at least at his last stage his family should take care of him to which they disagreed. Finally, we filed for divorce. Her in-laws made our life more miserable. Those days were really tough for us. But I know Baba was with us, finally divorce got cleared. After divorce, my sister was always in off mood. Her mental status affected but then that time also we stood in life with help of Baba. Two years passed after divorce, and I was trying to settle her life back but then she was not ready for re-marry. It was very difficult to get a person who can understand the whole situation and accept her without any grievances, which was more difficult.

And then miracle a happened. I come across a person from one of the marriage websites, who settled in UK. Initially I was totally against it since she had a bad past and suffered a lot. I don't want to take another risk by sending her abroad. Also we are from middle class family and we couldn't have able to afford such foreign proposals. But as we always say marriages are fixed in heaven, I explained each and every situation of her past life to him and he agreed to go ahead. It took 4-5 months to get things on proper track. Initially my sister was hesitant to talk to him since she never had any conversation with a person who stays abroad. But as I said it is miracle, that person made her to feel easy in every aspect.

He made her to speak to his family, his mother, sister etc. Gradually my sister started to have proper conversation with them. We started in September 2006 and finally my sister got married in India on 11th February 2007. Things were just not over, when we applied for UK visa her application was rejected by British Embassy on many grounds. We were upset. We were not sure and we had no path to go ahead. But from February 2007 to June 2007 we applied twice for visa and second time she got cleared with it. My sister is now in UK.

In every difficult situation Baba was with us. I know we all have Shraddha on Baba but sometimes we are impatient and we lack in Saburi. But every time I prayed to Him in my difficult days. I asked Him to give me strength to face difficulties in life. I just can't forget what He has done for me. It was sheer miracle in my life that my sister got such a husband who loves her in any circumstances, in spite of knowing her bad past. Today I am much happy to see her settling down in her life.

I am just an ordinary human being, I cannot write much about Baba, but the only thing I can say is, He is the Master for me. He is everything for me. When you totally give yourself to Baba, He takes care of you. So all my friends just have complete faith in Him and you will be free from worries. I know it's difficult to follow in our tough situation but then we need to follow His mantra i.e. "Faith and Patience".

OMSAIRAM!DEVOTEE'S EXPERIENCE

Baba's Miracles in my Life

How we entered Baba’s kingdom
Baba had entered our household in the year 1982 when I was a child. My brother was around 8 months old and had diarrhea, which was not getting cured despite medication. On the advice of a neighbour, my parents took my brother to Shirdi. And immediately my brother's diarrhea was cured. Thus we were included in Baba's durbar for life.

Nothing much had happened in my life till the year 2000 when I suddenly and occasionally witnessed Baba’s miracles. I started doing Baba’s Parayan and used to chant Vishnu Sahasra Namam daily.

I was having tooth ache, I could see a black decay in my tooth. I wanted to go to a dentist but somehow my visit would get postponed. One night I had a dream that there was a doctor and he was drilling my tooth and giving me treatment. The next morning I woke up and checked my tooth and to my delight my tooth decay had gone. This was a miracle, which I had not asked for but I am sure it is Baba’s miracle to show me I am under his patronage.

In the year 2001, I was working in Mumbai and my fiancé was in Hyderabad. We used to fight frequently even thought we loved each other very much, as there were serious problems between us. One day I broke my engagement with him. This was a very difficult period in my life and I suffered a lot mentally. My fiancé then came to Mumbai to make up with me. But I was unsure and so decided to leave everything to Baba and started parayanam. On the last day of parayanam I suddenly felt that I should marry him. I attribute this decision to BABA.

After my marriage, I came back to Mumbai. My mind was very disturbed as my mother in law was a Christian convert and that had an effect on my husband. That night in the train I saw Baba in my dream, and then I saw Christ, then again Baba and then again Christ. I felt that through this Baba had given me the message that Christ and Baba are not different.

In the year 2002 another miracle happened in the context of my Visa. My application for a study visa had been rejected on two earlier occasions. So when my company applied for a visa on my behalf the consulate did not give it but put it on observation. I thought my visa had been rejected this time also. I kept praying to Baba. One night I dreamt that some sadhu had come to my house and told me “Do not worry , you will get a visa” and disappeared. Then 2-3 days after which I got a call from consulate that I could go and collect my visa.

I was very happy and thankful to Baba. However, while I went to the US, I returned prematurely within 2 months. This left me very disappointed and depressed as I do not understand why Baba did not make me settle there. Now I have so many responsibilities that I cannot go there though I still aspire to go.

I was married in May 2002 but stayed in Mumbai. I could not get a transfer to Hyderabad. In November 2002 I went to Shirdi and prayed for my transfer. I became pregnant in December 2002 and had to take continuous bed rest. Citing this as a strong reason I again applied for a transfer. I was facing difficulties in the process. Then on 7th February 2003 night I had a dream in which I saw a fakir and I felt he was Baba. He asked me for Dakshina, I gave some amount, he asked me for more, which I gave. I felt he was testing me to see if I would give him everything I had. He again asked me for dakshina, and I said I don’t have anything left. He then said: “Do not worry, your transfer will be done”.
On Monday when I contacted my manager, he asked me to leave for Hyderabad. Now this was a miracle because none of my papers had been approved and signed, and were still pending but I was asked to leave. What is a greater miracle then this leela of Sai.

In April 2003 I was in my 5th month of pregnancy. I was working in an office 5 km from my house. I received a relocation letter to another office which was quite far away. I was very tense as I was not keeping good health and the doctor had advised me rest. I was praying to Baba and was sure He would take care of me. I called one of my colleagues who worked in that office earlier. To my surprise and utter cheer she told me that the office just shifted on the previous day to some other place, which was 7 km from my house. I really thanked Baba for caring for me.

My mother in law had converted to Christianity and before I came to her house in Hyderabad she told me that I should not put any photos and I should not light Diya. But does Baba leave his kids? To my utter surprise when I came to Hyderabad my Father in law gave me a calendar with Baba’s photo. I had stuck that calendar on the wall with a gum. One day the calendar fell down, and I did not put it back on the wall. After few days I wanted to do parayanam of Baba. And I could not find the calendar photo. I searched frantically for it and thought that my Mother in law had thrown it away. It was Wednesday and I was wondering whether to buy a new photo of Baba since I wanted to start parayanam the next day.

But can you imagine what had happened? While rearranging the clothes on the shelves my mother in law found that calendar and gave it to me. What a great miracle. Baba had not only come to me in time but also proved that my Mother in law was innocent by giving me calendar through her.
