Title: HOW EACH ONE OF US KNEW SAIBABA.... PLS SHARE
Post by: keerthisai on July 14, 2007, 08:56:55 AM
DEAR SAI FAMILY MEMBERS,

OM SAI RAM

We are closely knit ONLINE SAI FAMILY which happened by the grace of BABA and BABA's blessings on RAVI BHAI to have us all in one platform ONLINE SAI MANDHIR,

May I request each one of you to please share the VERY FIRST EXPERIENCE / INCIDENT  which made you know SAIBABA the HOLY FATHER of all SAB KA MALLIK EK

It may be b'coz 1. Your family was traditionally following SAIBABA

                         2. In distress someone asked you to pray to SAIBABA and it was a
                                                success and you become a devotee

                         3. Some one in the family came to know about SAIBABA and
                                                motivated the rest of the family

                         4. Spouses introduced you to SAIBABA as their families were
                                                ardent followers of SAIBABA

                         5. BABA himself induced the thoughts into you

                         6. Just followed a dream not knowing he was SAIBABA

                         7. Had your own miracle / experience when BABA was introduced
                                             into your life
.

and so many more which has not come into my mind.

Pls do share so that each one of us can understand how BABA enlightened us

BABA pls bless us and be with us in all we say and do always

THANKS & REAGRDS

AUM SAI RAM
wat a beautiful topic is this!!! i love telling ppl how we met Sai.
long back b4 i was born when my mom was unmarried, she lived with her brother. Once her brothers wife had few friends visiting them. So mom handled d kitchen d whole day. rgt from tea to lunch & dinner... single handedly she worked hard d whole day. by evening she was damn tired & had immense bodyache. She was jus a teenager then who didnt do lot of household work. But dat day she really worked hard. they then planned for movie that evening after dinner. The movie was a new one called "Shirdi ke Saibaba".
They didnt hear abt it earlier. While watching d movie mom was curious dat a fakir who could cure ppl jus thru a mere glance must be powerful enough. She asked dat is it possible that her body ache gets cured while Baba saw her...
& lo... this thought crossed her mind & Baba looked at her from d big screen in d theatre. She felt as if sum one pulled out sumthing from her. within seconds she was in tears & ppl around were stunned dat how a girl who was so tired & was in pain few mins ago is so perfect now! yes it was Baba & the group shouted "Jai Sainath!!!"
This happened on a Sunday. next morning Mom's friend who visited from Jaipur gifted her an idol of sum God who she thought Mom knew. Coz dat idol was of sum saint who lived near Pune. He was SAI!!
Moms joy knew bounds when she Got Baba. She has preserved this idol till date. even after her mariage this is the only thing dat she carried with her. & yes she considers Shirdi her maika;) (mom's place) & how true. coz every time we go there we kinds r made feel so spcl by Baba...jus like perhaps d grandparents. Had they being alive they would have loved us d same. Baba is indeed our grandparent... our parent... our Sadguru... love u SAIBABA

btw did i tell u... :)
Mom had prayed to Sai for 2 daughters after her marriage...& then He sent us here  :)

Since then we have been aware of His grace. & more now coz i get to talk & read so much abt my Baba. i fel really closer to Him now. Thanx for this community Sainath.
Bless all!!
We all love u sooooo much:)

Keerthiji,

This is indeed a wonderful thought.

My father was in Shahabad (Karnataka state) during his whole tenure of job.

I did my schooling in a convent school there.......
We had a temple of Saibaba,  along with many other temples like Hanuman and Ganapathy...

I realise now that I always used to visit Sai whenever we go to the other temples, and I used to feel so much peace inside that temple....... but knew nothing about him........ I used to pray with devotion and sit there for a few minutes........

After my schooling I did my college in Kerala........ where I had forgotten totally about Sai and that temple........ but I used to visit whenever I go to that place.....

Now my parents have left from there and settled in Ahmedabad.   

After my marriage I was totally away from Sai and any temple of His.....

Till last year I  had not thought of Sai at all....... May be no one had told me about His greatness when I was a girl. May Sai forgive me for that........

Last year when my husband was without any job..... and there was lot of problems around,  one of my cousin gave me Satcharitra and asked me to read it  in a week ( Saptaha).

After reading about his Leela  I was so much out of love for Him and at that time I realised that I had Sai once upon a time in my life.........

Thanks to my cousin who drew me near to my Baba by reading Satcharitra....
Baba ne phir se mujhe apna liya hai.......... Ab har din har pal mein Baba ka nam leti hoon.........

Such wonderful is Sai Baba's love towards his children.........

Good question though i dont remember i will try to recollect how i became Sai devotee today. :)


I did not know sai baba at all even when i was in my teens, in my work place many maharashtrians girls used to talk about sai baba and i used to hear their talk but never felt any pull. Once one of my colleleague got married and she was very happy and she was a bhakt of sai baba, then this prayer came into my mind that 'sai keep all married girls happy'. After that i forgot all about it.


After my marriage one day my inlaws took me to nasik and then to shirdi i liked it there but still was not very much into Sai's fold. Then i came to dubai and one of my in law cousin used to always say i am reading SSC and she feels peaceful after reading SSC.

After marriage i was not happy at all, and then i had a miscarriage too.
Once again i got a chance to go to Shirdi and there i asked Sai for a child shortly i became pregnant and the cousin lend me SSC to read which i read and was very touched. i gave birth to a baby boy and when he was 9 months i took him to shirdi to thank Sai, i still was not very much a believer or devotee i was shiv bhakt, but Sai was making his presence felt in my life.

I had a second miscarriage, after which i again went to shirdi and prayed for a child, shortly i gave birth to a baby girl, whom again  i took to shirdi to thank baba.

In dubai in my office one new girl joined and she had SSC which again i borrowed to read and then she suggested we write to the address in india and get the book, we ordered SSC for ourselves and finally in 1994 i had my very own SSC which i regularly started reading and slowly slowly my faith in baba increased.

It took me almost 8-10years to finally know and love baba and in all that period Sai used to keep sending me messages which i a foolish human being did not understand.

Both my children are blessings of Sai Baba since i got them after my visit to shirdi so i consider Sai as their father, and i always thank Sai for such lovely children.

And now Sai is the only God for me, it is with him i talk, i fight i laugh i cry he is my mother, father, friend, companion and soul mate.

Dear Sai Brothers and Sisters

Thanks to BABA for giving us the fortune of knowing him though late, We are basically from Tamilnadu, though Mylapore, Shenoy Nagar BABA temple were there long, long ago we hardly new BABA during our childhood, it was way back in 1996 when we lived in Singapore, we had been to outskirts of Mumbai for a Vacation during summer (APR) to my cousin’s place.

My Cousin is a doctor by profession works and stays in the Navy Base at the outskirts of Mumbai (Raigad District) then she has a son of around 3 yrs born to her after 11years of marriage.

We (me and my husband) were on our way to visit another friend of my cousin just for time pass drove a two wheeler (Kinetic Honda) since we were new to the place we just wanted to ensure that we are in the right direction stopped at a tea shop and were enquiring the address. Our Nephew (the 3yr old boy was standing in the front) The outskirts of Mumbai being typical Village, Marathi speaking Hindi is little difficult to understand for people from South India.

My husband left the vehicle in the “engine on” condition in my hands with the cousin’s son standing in front. I was holding the vehicle and thought that I will put it the side stand. The applying of side stand and my cousin’s son applying accelerator was simultaneous. He was just standing in the front and suddenly he held the accelerator and the side stand as a centre point the vehicle started circling the boy in panicky is still giving pressure to the accelerator and not taking off his hand thinking that he will fall if his hands are removed. My mind became blank, it looks as if I am not holding the two wheeler any more, My husband is on the other side of the road at the tea shop enquiring address. I took so much time to type/ to read but all this happened at the wink of an eye.

It was typically a village more or less a fishermen area, there was an auto stand too by the teashop. With the commotion and sound of the vehicle and people seeing a child they ran and caught the vehicle, it has gone around circling at least 2/3 times I presume and helped the boy to come of the turmoil and I just held him and hugged him and looked in his arms and legs

TO OUR SURPRISE NOT EVEN A SINGLE SCRATCH, WOUND, AND MOREOVER THE BOY WAS LOOKING WAS VERY HAPPY THEN EVER (No FEAR IN HIS FACE) AS IF WE HE WENT ON A CIRCUS GROUND NOT KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.

I was literally in tears on one side my husband scolding at the top of the voice he could shout that I was not cautious about the whole thing b’coz he was worried if something would have happened what to answer to his parents (that too a single boy for after 11 years of marriage)

In this midst of screams one middle aged lady held my hand and said in a soft voice in a Marathi / Hindi language “You know who saved your son, see he is only OUR SAIBABA, OUR SAVIOUR, NOW YOUR SAVIOUR TOO SAB KA MALLIK EK. Where she showed was a SMALL temple of SAI BABA and that day was a THRUSDAY with full crowd decorating PALLAKI besides the TEA SHOP where my husband was enquiring the address.

It was a lovely white marble statue, the first ever we saw OUR HOLY FATHER, all three of us went and thanked him. Boy was as usual and we after stepping the temple calmed down, felt at ease, before that we were looking tensed about the incident. After worshipping we thanked those fishermen folks there and drove home straight and narrated the incident to my cousin. WHY FEAR WHEN BABA IS THERE was the simple answer she gave. Though ultimately we realized BABA idol in her pooja room, we had never asked since we had just arrived two days ago and she was busy working at hospital and clinic as cannot take leave.

As she was living there for about 3 years then She knew BABA and narrated his leelas that night before we went to bed. So immediately we decided to pack our bags and visit SHIRDI. My cousin also wanted to come so we planned that weekend. But she couldn’t make it.  We hired a TATA SUMO (Me, My husband and my mom) and went to NASIK stayed and the next day we stepped into DWARAKAMAYEE “IT WAS RAMNAVAMI DAY’” with gala celebrations around SHIRDI

Then we didn’t know its importance today when we knew more about OUR HOLY FATHER we were happy to know that unknowingly we were called to SHIRDI by SAIBABA for the first time on the RAMNAVAMI day.

Yes we are very thankful for BABA and he is MAA, PAA, TEACHER, GUIDE, FRIEND, GOD all role he plays for us now, Many guidance’s, incidences, words can’t describe.

May BABA be with us and bless all of us always.

I'd like to share this incident about how my friend (A complete nonbeliever) became a good Baba devotee.

My college buddy was working in Pune and he got a good offer in B'lore. So we decided to rent a 2BHK apartment just for the two of us cuz my current roomies list kept expanding.

It was a Sunday and I had just returned fromThirupathi and was narrating my experiences about How Sai helped me during Dharshan. My friend snubbed everything as sequences of coincidence and asked me to cut down on my enthusiasm for Sai. I read him the 11 assurances of Baba and he picked on one and started harping on it "If you look at me, I look at you". I told him now that you’ve placed your request Baba will sure show up in some form before night. He rubbished me saying I won't accept if you show me a vehicle passing on road with Baba sticker that's just a coincidence. If Baba is god he should look at me now to fulfill his promise. I decided to quit cajoling him to pray baba as our arguments were going nowhere. 10 minutes later someone knocked our door, he's a real estate broker who wanted to inspect our house, he thought we were about to vacate but we told him it was opposite apartment that he should visit and we are new tenants. He started conversing in Tamil and said he’d get us better apartment for the same rent despite our flat denials and disinterest he kept harping on it. Finally he took out his card and dumped it into my friends hand and left. The card had a beautiful color picture of baba in orange attire and it read like Sai real estate something. Surprising the picture was little Big for a business card, which he has cut and carries in his wallet.
My friend couldn't talk for sometime, I told him you wanted him to see you exclusively and he has just done that for you. Thus Baba pulled another devotee to his fold. From then he has become an ardent Shirdi Sai devotee.

Om Sai Ram!

Dear Keerthi Di,

I must say this is the most wonderfl topic you have started. What a great way to share Baba's leelas.
Thanks Didi. Thanks to all family members who have shared their amazing experience. Now I would also like to tell you all how Baba came to my life.

When I was all of 4-5 yrs, I remember we used to visit to my father's best friend's place. He had a huge picture of Baba , that has written on it "Sabka Malik Ek" . Uncle always used to ask me to repeat what had written on the picture. "Sabka Malik Ek" I used to repeat . That's how Baba entered to my life.

Then when I was of 7 yrs old, Papa's best friend passed away....same year my mother also passed away & we were all alone....We were transfered to a village...Without a mother ...how a home can be managed....My father really had a very troubled time....as he had to brought up three small children also had job & also had to manage the house chores....years passed ....when I was in 5 std. I faced a terrible problem in my scalp....there were some wounds developed in my scalp....I had to take leaves from school...I had lovely hairs...that had to be cut completely....I was very traumatised with all this as I was not able to understand what was happening...I was not able to face my friends....Papa was also not able to solve the problem...

Me & my sister had arranged a pooja ghar...I don't know from where did we get it but there was One of Baba's picture there. One day I wrote my problem to Baba ...saying...."God, plz get me out of this, solve my problem"...& kept the paper near Baba....

The other day my father saw that paper & asked me what was this...I was embarrssed as I was a little child & did not know what I had done was right or not....everybody in my family was laughing at me....

I was depressed....& was not able to think anything..I left everything just like that.

But to my amazement....my scalp problem was cured with in a week!!! ..

This was Baba's miracle...Really!!! I was worried that I had beautiful hairs...would I be able to get them back? But Baba listened to my innocent heart & gifted me with beautiful hairs...even better & long than I had that time....

Since then he has ben with me...

Years passed...I finished my studies....got a job...also Baba brought in to my life the person whom I want to share my life with....

Both of us are from diff. castes. we shared at home about each other, everybody agreed  & decided that our's would be a quite ceremony..& we would go for a court marriage. We planned it in the summers.It was in this march that we had to go to court for the registration of marriage.....just that day a terrible misunderstanding happened between him & me....

That was the worst phase of my life...I was not able to bear that pain...I called up Baba day & night to help me .It seemed that everything would come to an end.

In Feb one of my colleuge gave me SSC to read...I was reading it ...but not with full devotion....when all this happened I was left all alone hence I sought Baba's support.I called up Baba day & night & prayed with my heart & soul to clear the misunderstanding......almost a week passed on like that....

Miracle happened when Baba came to me in form of picture ...that too from Shirdi.......It was a picture of his where he is sitting at Dwarkamayi......It was truely a miracle.....

I can not express the joy I had....just after a day...the storm started to get down....It was all Baba's grace....the issue was so serious that even after 3 months we were not fully recovered from it's illeffects but may be that was Baba's way of increasing my faith & devotion. With his blessings everything is very fine now..

since then my faith has grown thousand folds ....I was able to know about his preachings....after that incidents ...I am a different person now....more patient...more faithful...in all a spiritually grown person....May be Baba wanted me to become more mature spiritually before starting a new phase of my  life. Baba has been with me always ....it was my foolishness that I did not recognize his presence.

Thanks so much for your love Baba! I love you too.

Bolo Shree Sadguru Sainath Maharaaj Ki Jai!!!

Sorry for a too long post....

....Thanks to Keerthi di.for letting us share our experience....

Dear All Sairam

This is a nice topic started but a complicated one.
But there is always a beginning. And baba's ways are unique. As verily said by him, he draws us as sparrows drawn with a string tied to their legs.

My experience is almost like rema warrier ji's. I came to baba in a temple in a remote village. Many used to flock there on thursdays. Somehow, I was put off with the crowds. But when in trouble, I used to pray to our Lord. And he answered. Then I really did not remember him much, frankly I somehow forgot.
But baba never forgot me. Slowly he started drawing me to him. And it came back like a flood. I used to be moved to tears while praying and thinking of him. I used to hug his photo close to my heart. And he was always with me in my troubles. He never left me since. I might forget him, but he never forsake me. Just like a mother, a father, he is with me. In 2004 I made my first visit. That to on his call. It was a desire of almost 10 years. And I have been trying to go to Shirdi as much as possible.

Jai sai ram...

What a wonderful topic..
Baba blessed us with everything..since our marriage...ours is a love marriage and both sides parents did not agree for it ,then we both prayed to baba for our marriage to happen,he blessed us then,and after our marriage we went to shirdi and prayed baba for our marriage. after few years we were planning to go US and then baba helped us to get the visa,after 4 years of job  in USA ,my husbands project was over and we went to india, visited baba and came back but at that time the job market was not good and we were out of job for 4 months and then i prayed for my husbands job and i payed baba that i will not eat my favourite food untill we get a job...after 3 months  baba blessed us with a good job...

and baba came to our house(as said in saccharitra...in the form of photograph)
This really happened as follows...
One day at night 9 pm one lady(chinese lady) at our neighbourhood was selling some paintings and photographs of scenaries ,and she came to our home and asked us to buy some of those..we said we are not interested..then she asked us "are you from india"..then my husband said yes..then she said..."i have one indian god's picture do you want to take a look at that"...then she showed that to me and it was BABA'S PICTURE...to our suprise...then we said we will take it..i was so happy that baba himself came to my home...

after that incident..we have moved to  a bigger place and purchased a newhome and got the permanant residency in the united states..it is all of baba's blessing ...
he is with us each and every minute...

Jai sai ram....

Dear Keerthisaiji,

Om sairam.

Around 10 years back, I had gone to Hyderabad and there I went to Mr. Hanumanta Rao's house to visit his family. There his daughter Ramya (she was 15 years old) showed Baba's some original photo and she gave me three photos. At the backside of photograph it was written-

 
'Life is a series of problems.
Some of them are apparently unsolvable.
Do not try to solve such problems.
Meditate.
Repeat my Name.
All such problems solved by themselves.'
OM SRI SAI BABA.

That was the first time I knew about Baba and from that day onwards whenever I am in problem or anyone whom I know, is in problem, I pray to Baba. Om Sai Sri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai. Then gradually, I knew more and more about HIM. In my life I have felt Baba's blessings. Baba has solved some critical problems in my life. Thank you Baba for your mercy. Till now I always keep that Photograph with me in my purse.

My old parents are in village and in spite of our request they are not coming to stay with us (they do not want to leave their home). I gave Baba's photo to my mother and told her when ever you are in problem you call HIM. He would listen. My mother also felt Baba's help whenever she is in problem. Now there is no doubt about it that Baba is always with us.

I am going to  Shirdi on Aug 4th. This will be my first visit. I can not tell how happy I am.

Today morning my daughter rang me and told me ' Mummy , you are going to Shirdi. My friend Lopa is telling to pray to Baba for her too.' Both of them are doing Housemanship and are preparing for All India Medical PG Entrance Exam. I will pray for them. I will pray for all the persons who are in problem and who are suffering. Baba bless all your children.

Thank you Keerthisaiji.

Om Sairam.

Dear sai bandhu's,

I want to share my experience with all of you.

Actually we will worship Durga maa. In 1999 i saw a temple which is very much crowded on thursdays.  I dont know that it is Baba temple.  Every time i thought  of visiting that temple while i was going to office.  Once what happened unexpectedly i went there.  I was late to office but still i went.  When i was climbing the steps i was crying like anything.  I dont know why i am crying .  I saw baba statue and got impressed.  So from that day onwards i became his devotee.  I believe him like anything.  every thursday i used to go there.  in 2003 i shifted my house to that place.

Dear Keerthi : Nice post . I also want to share my exp

Few years back i was not aware about Sai Baba. I was very spritual person and strong bhakat of Shivaji and Vaisno Mata. Then i  was married to a person who is also God fearing. I never thought one day i foud a Guru. No one from our family know anything about Sai Baba. I did not concieved after my marriage . After 3 yrs of my marriage we shifted to our new house. At this location we did not found any temple near to my house .

KAHTE HEY , BABA APNE BHAKTO KO KHUD BULATE HEY AUR MERE SATH BHI AISA HEY HUA HEY.

i was trying to concieve but -----. Then i heard fm someone that there is a temple near to our house and if we worship there i will definately concieve.  we found a temple . I askedo my husband is it sameone. He said may be. Suddenly a person told us " IT IS NOT SAI Temple AND HE TOLD US THE LOCATION " . Then one day we thought to go there . We drive here n there and finally we found the temple. The time my husband enters the temple he said " We can't come to this temple as it is very Far . That was the time of AARTHI. We attended and suddenly a Pujari asked for lift. He told us the right way up to Highway. from this way it is very near to our house. Baba give me the way and i started to visit.

It was the beigning and i hope it never ends. After that suddenly i found so many changes in myself. Chain links and i started to do Sai bhakti. Baba comes to my house. Baba gave me darsan in my dream and told me to come shirdi . He said " come to shirdi and purchase a Krisna idol. By baba grace we visited shirdi. There i come to know about SSC prayan i started to do same and till now baba help me in my each parayan

Life goes on and i found so many chamatkars. He always helped me. He helped me in My job , in my parents help ............... There is no end.I WANT TO SAY , For a human being like me it was not easy to believe in Guru. I asked for chamatkar's . he did. I become a strong Bhakt of Baba and then he told me i will concieve in 2006 and it happens. He gave me evrything i want. Now a time comes everyone in my family belive in Sai Baba.

BABA BECOME MY GURU AND I HOPE HE WILL ALWAYS SHOWER HIS GRACE TO ME .

Hello everyone,

I am a new member....
It fills my heart with love and joy when i read such miracle stories.   i would like to share how baba came into my life.  I did not know much about Baba.   about couple of year ago, my boyfriend mentioned about Sai baba.  My heart was not completely into it.   

As, time went by, I slowly and slowly learned more about Sai baba...i believed in baba...  but still my heart was not much into it. 
I am going through tough times right now. My boyfriend and I have been together for seven years and baba knows that i love him dearly.   I am going through  difficult phase because the person i love has gained a misunderstanding.

I have been praying to baba so much.   I feel so blessed that I had darshan of Satya Sai baba and Shirdi Sai baba many times this year.  I know baba is with me and he will erase all the misunderstanidngs between me and him.   most amazing darshan i had was 2 days ago.. when satya sai baba and shirdi sai baba took me somewhere, where i felt no pain, no sorrow... nothing could reach me.   I beleive it was heaven.    I was in such bliss in my sleep.  I dont think i slept at all.. it was like i was half awake.   I can not describe in words how i felt.  But it gave me soo much bliss and assurance that baba is with me.   

I beleive in Sai baba completely.. i love him dearly.   Please baba, help me and erase the misunderstanding between me and him.  I am surroundering to you... please baba you take care of me now.  Baba, shower me with your love and blessings. 

  I love you baba...
Please be with me all times
Sai ram...sai ram..sai ram sai ram.
baba, i really want to come to shirdi and parshanti nilayam for your darshan... please call upon me...

Dear Ja_sai4ever,

Welcome to Sai family. You are a blessed child of Baba...it is his grace that has taken you to Dwarkamai.
                                                       Don't worry about anything...Baba will surely bless your relationship...He is there to take care of everything...nothing can happen without his wish. Just have faith & patience...what I have learned from my experiences & the guidance I got from the family members is that total surrender to Sai is necessary. Baba knows whatever has happened...let him do the needful & be quite.

May Sai bless you always!

Dear Keerthi ji,

I am from Delhi and my college was situated near the very famous Lodhi Road Baba's temple. We used to travel by chartered bus and many a time students use to stop for darshan over there. I didn't had faith in Baba during those days. This was during 1996-99.
In 2005 April there was a bhajan Sandhya of Baba in our locality. That was the first time I brought Baba's idol to my house. I got Baba's Kasht Nivaran Jaap from there. I started reading it daily.
But in 2006 jan I went to Shirdi and when I had Baba's darshan I was completely drawn towards him. The whole night I had Baba's darshan and with his grace I happend to visit Shirdi this year also.
Many a times I have had his darshan during sleep and he has guided me in each and every step of my life. I completely believe in him and have surrendered myself to him whole heartedly.
Love u a lot Baba.

Dear Mr. Shah


Your attachment to baba in this way is a good step towards knowing god. U said before belief in Sai Baba you had faith in Satyanarayan Bhagwan. You might be knowing that Lord Vishnu take avtaars and Sai Baba is also avtaar of lord Vishnu. So Satyanarayan Bhagwan or Sai Baba are the same. Since you have faith in Sai Baba your life will go smooth and all hurdles of life will be handled by Baba. Because in this Kaliyug Sai Baba take care of his devotees and is easily approachable. You just take his name and he will be with you.

May Sai Baba bless u

Dear Sai Devotees,

It is indeed a matter of great happiness that we all family members are doing worship in this online temple of Baba Shri Sai. During the recent times one may not get much time to go to temple but here we all get time out of busy schedule to visit to this temple and express thoughts. That way we are all chanting name of Shri Sai and definitely we will get all the best results of this online worship. This "Prabhu Sumiran" is like any other puja whether performed at home or temple or any religious place.

Om Jai Sri Sai Ram..

Dear Keerthi ji,

Such a noble thought. May Baba keep blessing you with such beuatiful ideas.
My case is quite different from others.

Until a few months ago, I had been an average human being, an ordinary believer in God but not spending a great deal of time thinking about Him or reading good scriptures/holy books etc. I had been in India all the 28 years of my life and came to Australia (for work) only an year back.
A few months ago (perhaps start of this year 2007, add the digits 2+0+0+7 = 9 , Baba's number, as in nine forms of Bhakti!) my life changed..I saw this serial called 'Man mein Hai Vishwaas' in Australia (on Sony television - I wil recommend that everyone should see this, please) and my wife and I were amazed to see miracles happening even in today's kalyug. The serial showed how God is helping His true devotees in some form or the other..and my wife and I were truely amazed.

I knew hardly anything about Sai Baba ji even though my sister had given me a Sai Baba ring long time ago (which I have been wearing for quite a while now) and I thought Sai Baba ji perhaps would also be doing miracles with His devotees. So I searched on the internet and came across so many miracles, so many messages, web sites and this forum too (our dear Sai Mandir).

I started reading more about Sai Baba daily and started parayan of Sri Sai Satcharitra too. Slowly and slowly I started getting Sai Baba in my dreams, miracles started happening in my life and most of my problems started vanishing because of Him.

I now think of Him, dream of Him, live with Him, aspire for Him and wish to be like Him...Sai Baba ji is my God in all ways.

I love Him and thank Him for pulling me for towards Him..

God bless everyone
Gaurav

Jai Sainath,

I am a Humble admirer of saibaba for the past 3 Yrs and would like to share my views on my life events where i really got the anubhuti of the great lord helping me in the times of great difficulties and helplesness.

I am an engineer by profession and was working in a big company in India.Throughout my working days with the company,I was dedicated to my work for which customers preferred me anytime they had problems.

I was also promoted and a time came when my HOD was shifted to delhi and practically i was the man running my dept single handedly.I was 28 Yrs old and with the new freedom enthrusted on me,i started becoming selfish and oppurtunistic.In the spate of selfishness,i started forging invoices from the contractors and duping my company for personal monetory benifits.

As a saying goes that bad yields bad,the company top bosses managed to catch me and i was left completely exposed.I was upset and a sense of guilt ran through my veins,however it was too late.The managment rightfully decided to terminate my services with immediate effect and that crashed my entire life support system.I was in doledrums and was feeling like the biggest offender on this earth.I let my family down including my supportive wife,which never demanded anything from me except love and effection.

I realise the great mistake made by me but nothing can be done at that point of time.You can earn money anytime but not the prestige.To support my family which consit of my pregnant wife,I had no option but to start my own business.I struggled a lot to find finances and refrances but with no avail.Finally i could manage to enter into alliance with a established contractor and started my own business.

I was running pillar to post to get business but failed.Every night after my wife slept,I use to cry cry and cry not knowing what will come in the morning.I was completely shattered and felt let down.The guilt within me was so intense that one day i decided to end my life.Then due to the thought of my wife and unborn child went past me and forced me to decide against it.

One fine morning I got up from the bed and decided to fight the situation which was self-created and leave everything to God to decide.Meanwhile I was not getting any breakthrough in business and all the savings were draining down.I kept trying trying and trying.One day i decided to meet one guy in Nasik for exploring business possibilties and one of my friend was also due to go to nasik for his own business trip.I shared his toyota qualis and he droped me at nasik.

After the meeting the guy from nasik told me to visit shirdi,which i flatly refused and after lot of persistance,I told him that i will see if i get the time to visit shirdi.

It was already evening and i was waiting for my friend and his car to collect me so that we can start moving to home which was 700kms from nasik.He came and we started our journey.My friend and me were sleeping in the car and suddenly the driver braked abrubtally and i woke up and asked him that what had happened.The driver told me that he thinks that he is driving on the wrong road.I told him to halt the vehicle near a tea stall so as to enquire which road we are travelling.The tea stall guy informed me that this road leads to shirdi and advised me that the temple is near and should take the last aarti.I was furious on the driver,however with no choice left,i decided to take the darshan alongwith my friend.

I was standing in the que and my eyes happen to fall on the TV which depicted the sai.I had a magnetic effect and my eyes started shedding water.I was not knowing what was happening and then the turning moment of my life,I had the darshan of sai idol,majestic,elegant and mind boggling.I started to weep continuouesly,I was so annoyed with myselves that everybody was looking at me.I told sai only one thing forgive me for my mistakes,Pls forgive me.The experience was like a hungry man getting abundant food,A drought ridden land is showered by heavy rain,A mother getting her lost child.I felt complete after getting this anubhav with the great lord sai.

As we had the darshan i came out and felt something bothering me.I again wanted to salute the great lord and decided to have a mukh darshan.l prayed to him from outside and uttered HELP ME.I only uttered HELP ME.I left shirdi with a good experience and promised to return back as soon as possible after my child's birth.

After returning back to my home the next day i was leaving for my office knowing that the day will not be the same as the previous past days,my mobile rang and to my suprise a purchase officer from reliance called me and wanted to know my fax number.I inquired the reason for it and he told that his manager has told him to fax a copy of the purchase order worth 8 Lakhs.I was spell bounded and completely overjoyed to know that the breakthrough has been achieved.I patted my own back for this success,when my wife reminded me that your efforts do count but sai has played a vital role in it.I then realized that the credit for this truly should go to sai and promised to visit shirdi for thanks giving.

From that day and today I have never looked back as sai is bestowing his blessings and i know he is with me always.

I am a complete changed man and now understand that bank balances are not that important and the balances kept by god for the good and bad deeds are important.I try to follow sai's teachings and make fullest of effort to follow them.

Be good to everybody,Have patience,Do not find monetory bliss because it leads to wrongful ways and ultimately loosing prestige.Help everybody in whatever way you can.Try to lead life for others.Never have negative ego.However big your status become in the human society,understand that you are in a lower hichercy of the lord.Achievments are bestowed upon by the lord as a prasad,try to force him to give you everything without asking by treading his preached path.Be kind towards all humans and animals.

I can keep on writing lot of things about  life but feel of ending my story here....

Believe in god and he will help you.

Admirer of Lord Sai,

Nikhil

I would to share my experience on how i got to know sai baba. I was having major problems in my career, health and not getting married. I consulted a number of astrologers, palmists, pandits, guru's etc. I spent a lot of money of these activities, poojas, gemstones etc without any result. My mind was also very restless. One evening i went to the Sai baba temple at Chattarpur, delhi with a friend. He gave me a copy of the Satcharita which i started reading. I also continued to visit the sai temple ocassionally.  In a few months i got a break with a very good company. This was totally with sai's grace though i did not realise it at that time. After about one year, i had major problems in my job. At this time i gave up astrology totally and surrended myself totally to sai. I suffered for some time but kept my faith in him. After a couple of months i had an interview one thursday in one company and by sai's grace next thursday i got a job in that company. My selection was totally a miracle of sai, as i think many other's may have been better qualified to get that job. Since then i have surrended myself totally to sai and have seen his miracles on numerous ocassions. He has helped me internally become a better person and help me understand my own shortcomings. He has brought me closer to my family and made me more responsible. I have been facing some problems in my current job for the last few months. I think it is sai's direction that i should change my job though i have trying to go abroad from my current job. I have now understood sai's direction and am hoping he will bless me with a new job soon. I have totally surrendered myself to sai. My marriage has not materalised till now for a long time. I am certain that sai will do what is good for me. What he wants in return is Shraddha and Saburi.

Hi Everyone,

I changed my job and moved to Pune and thought of visiting Shirdi. I surfed the net to find info. on how to go. I came accross a blog where people shared their experiences, it brought tears to my eyes and I thought of going the same day. It was difficult as I was alone and had no clue on visiting Shirdi, I went and stood on the Pune-Ahmednagar (12 AM) highway and waved to Shirdi buses to stop, finally one stopped but it was full, I sat on the bonnet and we started.The bus stopped for a break, everybody got down I started chatting on the phone. A man came upto me and asked me 'bhaisaab Yeh itne log Shirdi kyon jaa rahein hain aaj'.....I was totally pissed as I was on the phone and he specially came and asked me when he could have asked anyone else. I told him that I had no idea and carried on with my phone. When I reached Shirdi I had no idea where the temple was etc., this was at 3 AM, I started moving where I saw some people going, I met a very friendly looking man who started talking to me and told me that he was going to the temple and that we could go together, he was with me till we entered Samadhi mandir and then he was lost in the crowd. Later I realized that the day I had visited Shirdi was the day Baba had taken Samadhi.

I'm an ardent follower of Guru Nanak (in Del used to go to Bangla Sahib evryday...17 kms from my place)...During my visit, while I was waiting for Darshan I was debating in my mind as to whether I should follow Sai Baba or Guru Nanak or both...was in doldrums...I had the very satisfying darshan of Baba and went back to the hotel...in the reception I saw a calendar in which Sai baba and Nanak Dev were side by side and both had one raised finger.,need I say more? How often have you seen such a picture. Om Sai Ram.

When I look back at this incedent I believe that it was Baba who helped me and he even tried to make me realize why he has chosen this particular day for me to visit him. I've had a lot of interactions with Baba since then.

Om Sai Ram

Om Sai Ram!

Veneet ji,

Welcome to Dwarkamai, huge  Sai family. Thanks for sharing your experience, it is indeed wonderful how Baba made you realize his presence . Baba has his own ways to make us understand his words, like you realized when you saw the calender having Sai & Gurunanak ji both. Really wonderful. Keep sharing your other experiences too.

May Sai Bless you always!

Om Sai Ram!

Jai Sai Ram,
Thanks keertiji for starting such a wonderful topic.As far as my association with baba goes..............frankly speaking i don't remember when did i actually took notice of him.During my college days i first heard about him through one of my maharastrian friend, who happens to be a very close friend of mine now.But i never prayed to him or had any of his photograph.After i completed my post grad, my parents wanted me to get married so i gave them the permission to search suitable guys for me.The search didnot yield any result for 2 years.Then by chance i happened to visit shirdi along with my parents in 2001 for the very first time.Although i and my parents were very happy that baba himself called us there as we had no plans of visiting shirdi....still we didnot become his ardent follower.Years started rolling and the search process never yielded any good result.On the contrary every time things used to get fixed.........some or the other problem used to come up.Then finally in 2003 i got a good proposal and everything was fixed except for the marriage date.My parents were happy that finally i will settle down, and i was happy as i saw happiness in my parents eyes after a long long time.But fortunately or unfortunately things didnot work out  and after three months the guys family broke the alliance without even giving any excuse.My parents were shattered and felt helpless.I was 27 then and didnot know how to console them.

It was during this time that on my friends insistence i started praying to sai baba and took a vow that i will not eat rice till i see my parents happy.This happened in september.Then in october i got a proposal............, in november we saw and liked each other.In december we got engaged and finally got married in january.Coincidently my husband was also a sai baba follower and even they were also searching for a long time for good match.My husband then came to know about my "vow"...........and he too left rice and said that we will have it only after our shirdi darshan.After our honeynoon we went to shirdi, took baba's darshan and had rice in the lunch.After that we visited shirdi at least four times , the same year as my husband was posted in mumbai.

Needless to say that from then we became his followers.In between there was a phase when we got too engrossed with our lives and then got a jolt when my brother met with an accident and lost both his hands...........that was probably the most unhappiest day of my life and i fought with baba.But again i surrendered to him and went to shirdi this year and prayed for my brother.I don't know what fate has in store for him but i wish baba keeps him happy and makes his life comfortable.Though my faith in him shook for some time but again he took me into his folds.Now again i am sick since last one and half months and am praying everyday to him to make me recover soon.He is again testing me and i hope i phase passes very soon.

om sainathaya namah......!!!!

Dear Members,
                   Iam a new member to this community and iam very,very happy to be one.The posts related to this topic would really help others to turntowards BABA.
                   A couple of years back ,i was sick and confned to the bed.Inspite of genuine treatment my condition did not improve.A sai devotee had recommended me to read the SSC and of course it worked and i gradually recovered,however i was frankly not an ardent devotee then.The following incident luckily brought me back into BABA'S fold and there is no looking back.
                  My family with two others were on a trip to the sai mandir on the ECR road in chennai(considered as the shirdi of the south).My son was in my friends new FordIkon car and my friend was in my car.When i was telling my friend that it would be nice if we make it before the noon Aarti,we saw smoke emerging out of their vehicle in which my son was.All of us immediately got down out of our respective cars and moved to safety.By BABA"S grace there was no loss of life but the new car was burnt to ashes.The car was burning at its heights exactly at the Arti time,when my friend reminded me of the same.All these happened few yards away from the temple.
               The miracle here is my friend was going through a bad personsl phase and her husband had promised during their recent shirdi trip that he was innocent.(though he was not).My friend realised that this was a lesson to her husband who had made false promises that prevented him from entering the temple .
              However we went to the temple and my joy knew no bounds when i was there since my non beleiver husband insisted on doing so.Strangely the burning of a new car did not affect any of us,for we knew the small idol of BABA that was in their car did all the magic.My friends problems are slowly fading away,but iam sincerely praying SAI to give a call to my husband ,which iam very sure will happen shortly.
             I request all members to pray that my husband would get some vision or otherwise that would enable him to join all of us.

             SAI RAM

      I would like to share one of my experience which surely brought me close to baba
I knew baba from quiet a long time as my mother was a devotee of him.This was the time when i was doing my first year engineering.We had our submissions going on and the compulsion was that it had to done on time or else would not be granted the term(means loosing a year).I had done my work but asked my friends to get the printouts for me along with theirs as i had to go home for some imp work.However at night i learnt that they did not take the printouts for me and the final submissions were at morning 10am.I was at my wits end and did not know what to do.i prayed to baba the entire night and went early to college with a hope to get the printouts but to add to my plight my CD did not open in any of the comps present the college.i prayed to baba and casually gave a look at the comp desktop in front of which i was standing and to my suprise found all the documents on the desktop itself the printers which usually ran slow started runnig fast that day and i could manage to take all of them in 1 hour. with baba's grace my submissions went well but those friends who did not get printouts for me faced some problem so i took them to same comp where i found the programs so that they could do their submissions properly but to my amazement found that none of those documents were present and learnt from others that they never existed. the printer from which i took the printout was out of order from last day.This incident surely brought me close to baba.PLZ BABA ALWAYS BE WITH US

I knew Sai Baba by the serial on Star Plus called Sai Baba. I've been watching it from the start. I didn't start watching new serials at that time due to my studies but I watched it from then and still been watching it. I believe it may have been Sai Baba's way to capture my attention. After this, my family have seen and understood a few signs which showed us Sai Baba wants our Shradha.

I've been lucky to have gone to Dwarkamai this summer and understand and feel the experience that I always wanted.

its always a pleasure to read SaiBaba's leelas in here:)
btw 'Air' ji u can ofcoz watch few clippings from our fav television serial on http://www.youtube.com/pam99999
its true dat its Baba who attracts u towards Him. We have been knowing Sai since our childhood but hardly knew abt Sri Sai Satcharita. I read abt it in an email dat was forwarded to me. then sum day i found a pdf file of Sri Sai Satcharita on internet again. i began to read it slowly. unknowingly, it was a thursday when i started. i enjoyed it like a story book, but to my surprise, everytime i read even a lil paragraph it was like ... yeah this was wat was goin in my mind... is dat a mind reader's book. like once i had a swollen eye due to sum infection & the same day i read d story where Baba's devotee had a swollen eye! miraclously d swelling vanished n my eye cured d same moment. dat was sumthing gr8! @ d end i read in d Book dat one who had a desire to b fulfilled must read it in a week. i had taken exactly 3 weeks (unknowingly again;) ) to complete it. i ddint knew wat to ask. but yes Baba called me d next day to His Darbar & felicitated me wit a biiiigggg garland! there is a force called Sai who sits next to u while u read Sri Sai Satcharita!
Love u Sai:)

Om Sai Ram. Today I am so happy in writing on this topic coz it still amazes me how baba came to my life.
My manager and a friend at work are staunch believers of saibaba. Another thing to mention is that while I was growing up I had once seen a Sai movie but other than that never heard his name much. At work my manager and friend mentioned about Saibaba. So I was reading on web about saibaba and then I read that when people wished with true heart they would see baba. I thought if this is true I will see baba in some form today.I then got busy and forgot about it. In the evening that same day my husband mentioned to go out to eat. And there to the biggest of my surprise and shock I saw baba pic there. The owner gave that pic to me. Thats how I realized that what is written about baba is all tru. Then I was feeling bad as I dont know if/when i can go to shirdi and really wanted to get udi. Few days later I got udi in mail. That made my faith in baba absolutely pakka.

Om sai ram. Sai Raham Nazar karna.

Hi All,

I am very thankful to baba for knowing HIM..

When I was 19 or so, my dad and mom used to pray fro baba, they read sai satcharitras and other books but i was never interestd or never prayed, My father used to tell to me to pray fro baba before leaving home or goin out on some work.. I never did it. But it was after my exam , when the results were yet to come, i know that I had screwd up my exam and literally know that i would flunk in that subject nad that was my last year of engineering and i have to pass all the exxams. then I realized baba nad praye to him that If I pass in my exams that I will do parayan.. and i guess you would know the answer ... I passed thru that subject and to my surprise I got distinction... and ten i read satcharitra and came to knwo about BABA... I was so happy and when I was reading the book, I felt so happy. Thankssss a ton BABA.... Always have grace on me... love you baba...
please make me chant your name always.... THANKS BABA....

The below is a wonderful post from our sister sapna. Felt that this should be shared in this thread as well. Baba bless all. om sai ram.


Om Sai Ram,

Gayathriji and all other Sai devotees,

It was really a wonderful moment reading all your experiences with Sai Baba.
No doubt he really adores you all and are blessed children of him.

I pray that he continues to pour the same love(and even more) on all his
devotees too(including me) !

I would like to share my first experience with Baba with all of you.

I had been to Bombay when I was in my 8th std with few of my
cousins and other relations (my parents and my sis didnt come as they were
held up with work and studies). We then went to Shirdi too, as someone
from our group had heard that it is a nice place and Baba is a very powerful
saint. I dont remember hearing about Sai Baba before that, it was all new to me.

I vaguely remember that day, but as much as I recall, it looked like a small masjid
that time, unlike what it looks now.. and not much people were there..
I just visited the statue and since I had heard from my relative, that whatever we
wish for becomes true by Baba's grace at Shirdi. I being a bit immature and playful
that time, didnt believe in such miracles much, and thought no harm in testing it once
and so prayed that "If you really can do a miracle then make me get a first rank in my
class". This is all I prayed, since at that age, all that mattered to me was to be a topper in the class, which I usually used to lose by just one or two marks kinds.

After that incident, I kind of put aside this incident, and returned to my city and
to be honest, and if I remember right I was the topper in the next class test , and
I think I remembered about Baba then! But after that I dont think I thanked him for that or
continued to have faith in him, because no one else in my family had much heard of Sai Baba
at that time, and I dont know if  there were that many mandir's of Sai Baba in my city too.

Maybe though I forgot, Baba never forgot about me, since after 4-5 years, everyone in the
family became ardent devotees of Sai Baba, and till date we worship him very much and
quiet often we visit Sai Baba temple and also have been blessed with Baba's darshan at Shirdi
around 4 times. We too have experienced a lot of miracles of Sai Baba recently and I totally
agree that he is there for all of us whether we remember or not.

I also keep looking for signs every from Baba now and then for every incident of my life, keep hoping that
Sai Baba is witnessing and guiding me in all steps. I would be very happy when I get any positive sign, but will be truly disappointed when I dont get. But as everyone in this post mentioned "maybe he has a better plan" sounds true.

Till recently I wasnt aware of such a forum being in existence.  Through sheer luck I can say, I came across this link and from that day I keep visiting this site very often and it is very assuring to know
that I have lot of brothers and sisters in this forum who are Baba's children. I am beginning to understand how Baba works on his devotees in his fashion. He is very powerful and completely humble.

Thanks Baba for all that you have given and been giving so far!
We all love you

Sapna.

Sai Ram,
     I knew Baba since my childhood. In our Puja room we have photos of almost all Gods and Goddess I know including Shirdi Sai Baba. I've faith in all gods (Venkateswara Swamy, Narasimha Swamy, Ammavaru, Veera Brahmendra Swamy, Lord Hanuman etc...) but I love Baba the most. I feel he takes care of me like mother. He has helped me in most trying times of life. And there have been not one but many situations where he has made Impossible become possible. I can't share them as they are too personal. But I can say I'm living because of Baba's grace and blessings. I don't know why Baba helps me so much he does. I'm not a great devotee but I'm a blessed devotee of Baba as I always experience the greatness of his blessings and more than that his MOTHERLY love. To me Shirdi Sai means  LOVE.

Hari oom sai, firstly sorry for not posting any reply so far.....

i remember it was the begining of november and i was down with fever and was at home taking rest for almost 3 days and in the evening my cousin turned up and asked to accompany him to a satsang - sai bhakti path in a near by house, firstly i was unwilling to go, as i did not knew them.... and then he told me that any one can go there, and insisted that i should also go and have darshan,  i was feeling very week and then i just entered their house, and i saw a big photo of saibaba in he mid of the hall..... fully decorated, they were reading sai bhakti path and then they did the aarti... i was unable to sit in teh bigining.. but then suddenly just got intrest in the photo and kept praying baba, and i was able to sit there with out any problem, and then when they did aarti, i soem how got font and as if it was my house, started taking the aart and also gave it to all other people there, then i prayed and took prasad from them and returned home,

As i was walking back home, ,,,,, i dint realise then that i had started a new life and trust me my fever reduced.. i was fine in a day.... and hence forth i started visiting their house very frequently, and also started attending sai bhakti path, have got so many experience from baba.....
One of the most intresting one is posted in the below link....

om sai ma........

i know am late in narrating my experience here....
but its all his will.....
i dont know whenever i came across this topic....i used to think over my first experience with baba.....
i dont know but it was a series of small and then very big things which made me trust him , which made me to trust god....

its been an year and a half or so that he has engulfed me......
but i started realising this quite late than that in feb-2007 but still wasnt sure of his existence,,,,,,as i always found and related things logically and tried to reason out everything........those miracles of his were like coincidences for me........

anyhow......he came to my place in the form of a locket,that was presented by either my neighbour aunty or my maternal aunt after their visit to shirdi alongwith the prasad.i dont know.....it was alway placed safely in my almira....unlike the other lockets or keychains of other gods......i dont know for how many years..1,2.....or even more it was placed safely.........

then at the time of distress ,somewhere in august 2006......i went to his temple with a friend of mine....i was talking to my friend about my problem ..... and baba was no doubt listening.......the problem was solved...but then i wasnt aware that it was due to his grace........i didnt realise it.......and that pendent in due course of time......whenever i looked at it....it gave me immense strength......i kept it with me always........i was trying my faith on baba....as i didnt have a good spiritual exp earlier and doubted th existence of god(and of crs....i was at fault my faith ws not sufficent) i felt god didnt love me.....or how is it that he is not moved seeing me in tears.....how can he be like that......but my god lord shiva was always there for me working silently.......and when i was going away from im...he came to me in baba's form......and made me realise that god exists.......

there was much problem in my life starting from feb-march 2007...i used to sing that tittle song on the starplus sai baba serial........unknowingly shared my food with a black dog which came to my school......i asked him to make things happen or i wont have my food.....and believe me they did happen.......but i still couldnt trust him in those painful times...and when everything seemed to slip off my hands...i felt is he really there(now i know tht was for gud) i came across his 11 vachans.....and thought is this really true.......

now baba is taking care of everything......am alive coz he is there...and now there is no looking back.....and something painful happened to make things bettr......(as they will take place very very soon)
he made me learn very important lessons of life,he has teached me.....everything....i never knew how to react or  respond to situations....... i was afraid of so many......not so many but everything........was so very insecure in life.....so impatient

and after i have learnt to leave everything at his feet...everything is just so smooth and succesful....

now he is my everything......my best frn, my mum, dad everything........

Om Sai Ram
My buaji ( Father's sister ) is a very old devotee of Sai Baba. SaiNaath blessed her with a boy. When we were young we heard the reference of Sai Baba from her many times but never paid any attention. The time passed, I finished my post graduation and was doing my Industrial training when I came to know about Sai SatCharitra.

One of my Aunt told me that whoever finishes this SaiCharitra in one week, Baba surely grants the devotee's wish. I was badly searching for a good job, that was a very difficult phase of my life. The idea of getting the wish fulfilled by Baba gave me a new ray of hope.

I started my first 'Parayana' and by Baba's grace finished that successfully. I gave interview and I failed, I again appeared and failed. All my hopes were dying and I got a chance for an interview in a very famous MNC. I wasn't confident and with a very dejected feeling in my mind I went for the interview. I was thinking when I was not able to make it even for small level companies how can I get selected in this one.
Well, I got the job. And then I understand the reason behind the rejection in previous job interviews. Baba was searching the best job for me. The platform which I got was the best to start career with.

One day my sister saw Baba in dream. The very next day she called me up and said, "Baba came in dream and HE took you and me out of lot of other people and said these two kids are very lucky". Hearing this, I was in tears and my devotion in Sainaath increased manifolds.

If I try to remember the events Sainaath has helped me then I have to remember the details of almost everyday. Slowly, I became completely dependent upon my Gurudeva. I realized that there is nothing  possible without Guru's grace. What ever I have got today is only by the grace of my Sai. Be it a professional requirement, be it a personal, or economical, or even a small day-to-day task, my Deva has never disappointed me. I would like to narrate a very small day-to-day event. I was going to Hyderabad and the keys of my suitcase were missing. My fiancee asked me over the phone,"Now how you are going to do your packing, who will search the keys for you?". On this I replied," My Allah(Sai)". She said,"Your Allah even searches the keys for you". My reply was affirmative. After putting down the phone, a place came to my mind, I looked there and got my keys lying inside a bag.
It might look like a very ordinary event on the first hand view, but look deeply into what it says. SaiNaath loves us so much that he will do anything for us. The only thing he want from our side is trust in him. He gave me key of trusting Guru with this little 'Key Leela'.

Sometimes I get angry with him, sometimes I look at him, sometimes I read about him. He always looks at me, saves me from every difficulty; gives me what I ask for, no matter whether that is there in my Prarabdha or not; He loves me immensely and I love him too. He is my Shiva, my Guru, my Sai.

KEERTHI SAIJI,

                            OME SAIRAM

FIRST I DONOT KNOW BABA AND I DO NOT WORSHIP.  ONLY ON ACCOUNT OF MY SPOUSE I KNEW BABA AND WORSHIPING HIM. 

TWO YEARS BACK I VISITED BABA TEMPLE  IN TADIKONDA (GUNTUR DISTRICT) ANDHRA PRADESH.  AS SOON AS I ENTERED THE TEMPLE I DO NOT KNOW WHY TEARS CAME FROM MY EYES.  FOR 15 MINITUES OR SO I WEPT SILENTLY.  AFTER THAT THE PERSON WHO CONSTRUCTED THE TEMPLE ADVERTISED THAT WHO WILL DONATE RS.200/- BABA IDOL WILL BE KEPT IN THE DEVOTEE'S NAME SEPARATELY IN A ROOM CONSTRUCTED.  SO MANY PEOPLE CAME AND I ALSO ONE OF THEM.

AND AGAIN AT PALAKOL NEAR TO OUR TOWN (10 KMS.) ONE BABA TEMPLE WAS CONSTRUCTED.  THE TEMPLE IS VERY PLEASANT AND DWARAKAMAYI A BIG HALL WITH DHUNI DATTATERYA AND BABA PHOTOS.  WHENEVER I VISIT THE TEMPLE MY MIND WILL NOT TURN UP TO GO TO HOME.  I USED TO MEDITATE IN THE DWARAKAMAYI.  AS SOON AS I SIT IN THE MEDITATION POSTURE WITHIN 5 MTS I WILL BE IN DEEP MEDITATION.  I THINK THAT THESE TWO PLACES ARE VERY POWERFUL.

VIEWING BABA MOVIES AND READING BABA BOOKS I LIKE.

Jai Sai Ram..

My Best friend Jyothi is devotee of Sai baba.. While pursuing Graduation on every thursday she used to go to baba's temple and beside baba's temple shiva's temple is their. So we both used to go to temple..

I used to tell her your coming for your baba and iam coming for my shiva and Jyothi used to tell Sai baba and lord shiva are one and the same and i never believed.

In our conversations also i used to tell her "nee baba" and i used to tell i have my shiva i dont need anybody else.

In my Graduation 2nd year our family had to face many crisis dad's business had to suffer huge losses and because of road winding we lost our shop and many other problems came at a time.. We had many debt and daddy's health was not well and because of all these reasons his blood pressure was more.
we were no where at that time.. lot of mental tension and many sleepless night(most worst days in my life)
all these things went on for an year and i was worried about my education and family tensions. I always had a dream to become charatered accountant and i lost all hopes about my studies.
For me my education was everything.

One day i was crying in a room asking shiva "why he did all this things" and i beging him to come to me and help me.I was asking him "if u wanted me to stop my education why did u give me state 1st rank in +2 and why did create all hopes and dreams to me"

At that time i had no hopes abt our life.
In that room their was baba's photo i could suddenly see my shiva in that photo smiling at me..

I can never forget that smile.. It was like shiva telling me iam here to take care of you why do you worry

That day is the most auspicious day in my life.. From that day i have started praying sai..

He gave me confidence to fight with life and to take care of my family..

With his grace now iam pursuing my M.Com and MBA and doing Job. Its possible only because of his help.

Now iam confident and ready to face any thing, now i understand why he made me to face the problems because of that only now iam strong..

at times i loss heart but afterwards i will be ok.. Now because of sai's grace 50% of our problems are solved and iam not bothered about the rest as shivasai is with me..

I feel iam fortunate to be his devotees because baba never accepts his devotees unless and until he tests them. i dont know in what way he has tested me but thanks to me for accepting me.

I told thousands of times that i dont believe in him and sadus are dongis.. but now without his their nothing in my life and i cannot live without chanting his name.

Thank you sai for everything you did for me and helping me to remove my ignorance..

OM SAI SHREE SAI JAYA JAYA SHIRDI SAI

This is very good thread started by Keertisai Ji. I do come to this site whenever I feel down or depressed. It uplifts me.

I would like to share how I came across with BABA. I have known BABA from my sister who lives in Delhi nearly 7 years ago. Her husband introduced her to BABA. We  never knew BABA before. For a long time I did not believe in BABA. My sister used to send me Udi but I have a tendency not to take anything without reasoning. So I have not believed in UDI or BABA. Nearly 5 years back I was suffering a lot with financial difficulties and other problems. That was going on nearly a year.
Suddenly one day impulsively bought a picture of BABA and started to worship HIM with other GOD/GODDESS. But never gave much thought about HIM. After few months I met my sister and her husband handed me SAI SATCHARIT. I still did not believe in that. One day my mother told me a story of BABA what happened to her when she was visiting Shirdi. Then I started thinking of HIM seriously and started to read SAI SATCHARIT. Suddenly someone came into my life as a friend whom all my life I wanted as a friend which is a kind of miracle to me. After I started reading SAI SATCHARIT I am never out of money and I always find some solution to my problem. I always have friend by my side.

But two incidents really cemented my believe in HIM.

1.   Once I lost my passport. I could not find anywhere and  reported to the police. Also contacted the officials to get duplicate passport. As I was doing what was necessary to get the passport. I just prayed to BABA and asked Him to help me as I had to spend money and go through lots of trouble. After few hours of my prayer suddenly I found my passport on the bookshelf which I have checked at least five times and I passed by that bookshelf all day many times but never saw that before. Besides it was impossible to find that passport there because I never ever leave any important paper so casually like that. When I found my passport I just could not grasp my breathing.

2.   Last year I was traveling to India. The day I was supposed to fly back I had food poisoning. My family member asked me to cancel the trip but that would make a huge chaos because I had to start work also. My brother being a doctor has given me medicine and my father also trying to help with Homeopathy.  I was so sick could not get up from bed that I had no choice except to cancel the journey. At that time my mother gave me some UDI in a glass of water to drink. I have no words to explain the moment. As soon as I drank that water mixed with UDI I just sat on the bed and my vomiting had stopped. It took only a fraction of moment. Before I could not walk and after three hours I was at the airport. I had no trouble during my 14 hours flight. I still could not believe what happened that day.

Many more such experiences literally hooked me to BABA. Though I still get agitated and upset with daily problems and BABA also but I could not go a day without thinking of HIM. Sometimes I think HE is taking away all my own intelligence and making me dependent on HIM completely but I could not think of anything these days without HIM.

BABA bless all your devotees who needs your help.

Jaisairam,

I want to tell you how i became a sai devotee.When I was in my +2 ,once my neighbours aunty said that we have a charity show in which shirdi baba's movie is playing and they took me with them .I was so happy to see baba his miracles in the movie and gave me lot of happiness which i cannot express,but this was not the first time i have seen him.My grandmother used to wear baba,s locket along with her mangalsuthr.Yet she  was not his devotee ,but she was worshipping goddess durga and we too the same.I remember her telling me that during her childhood they used to have bhajans of baba and one of her brother's name is also 'SAI BABA'.

The actual involment into baba's devothin was when I was in graduation where my own aunt gave us baba's photo and small parayan book.That time we were actually in big crises ,but baba really helped us  a lot.To my surprise there was  BIG  SAI'S temple adjacent to my college where i used to visit him when ever i had time before college and especially on thursdays afternoons during lunch time.I remember baba statue was small but really powerfull. I really miss that temple now. After that Baba was everything to me .I believe that he is form of all 33 crore gods in the universe.

Another coincidence was my other granny[my dads mom] used to pray to BABA and PANDURANGA on thursdays. That could also be the reason that BABA pulled me towards him. I believe strongly that he is my MOTHER ,FATHER , FRIEND ,GURU AND everthing to me.

Iam not so good at english ,but i think my friends can understand this .

Dear Keerthiji,
this a wonderful topic,baba is there for everyone and he loves all!
I don't exactly remember how i started believing baba but yes i do remember that when i was in school,i was a shy,timid girl who never really believed in any god though my family is quite religious....so i just followed all religious rituals of the family.
Few of my classmates were very naughty and thy would get into troubles(get punished by the pricipal)very often.
I was kind of friendly with them,they were not really bad at heart,thts what i felt.Nw,at a number of occasions..circumstances would be such that i would feel that being their friend,i would surely get into trouble with them as they all did but believe me- i never did.Everytime i prayed to baba and he would come to my resque!Believe me,school ,college everywhere baba was with me....always helping me.Thn,baba got me a job which i never expected to get as i had no experience and only senior experieced people were givn that post but by babas grace i got selected,i still dont know how?,then in my office my seniors were like father figures to me.One of my collegues was so helpful to me that im sure he was sent by sai for me.
Then,baba gave me my HUSBAND,exactly the kind ,i had imagined.....touchwood!
I had never seen baba and i challenged him one day that baba-if you are there and the one im worshipping then prove it,how do i know that you are the same one,im praying to???Come to me,i want to see you.....its a challenge and if you fail,my devotion for you will also go away.I saw baba in dream,he came in the same white dress and the same white scarf on the head,and clearly said-"dekh le mujhe,sar se pao tak,tune muhje kaha tha na ki baba aao,poori tasaalli kar le ki mein wohi hoon na tera baba,jise tu manti hai???Jab tak tu nahi kahegi,mein nhi jaunga....acche se dekh le mujhe, ki mein wahi hoon, mujhe tu baar baar bua rhi thi,mein pareshan ho rha tha" i said baba aap ko dekh liya,man gayi,then he said kutch chahiye????i said-no baba,aapko dekh liya,bas.(im getting goose bums telling this)
Then again when i was pregnant,he came in my dream and gave me-mitha halwa.I promised him that baba i will come with my baby and family for your dharshan in sirdi.Nw,i could not plan and it was getting delayed.....he again appeared in my dream and said-tune aana nhi hai,mujhe bhool gayi....I got up and prayed baba,i want to come,please mere husband ko bolo na,he does not believe you......to my surprise soon my husband arranged a trip to sirdi with my inlaws and my parents as well,together!All these incidents have made my faith for baba grow stronger.Its been three years since i have seen him in my dream,talking with me,i miss him a lot but i know he will come soon(Nahi to mein phir jhagada karoongi na unse)i know he has so many bhakts and he is very busy........so with this thought i bow to him and wish he blesses all!!
Sairam to all........miss you baba....agar aapko woh heavy heavy malayein pareshan karein to chupke se raat mein unhein utar dena...i know sabki shraddha hai....but yeh sai baba ko bhi to chubti hongi...just imagine us wearing those garlands everyday!And that heavy singing aloud everyday(sorry if i hurt anyones feeling,really sorry)
Omsainath.
Preeti.

Hi,

Exactly I didn’t remember how Saibaba came into my life. But up to 10th class I was praying Lord Shiva. In 10th class summer holidays one of my friend came to me and she has given to me baba’s small picture. I think i.e. the first incident. Just I kept it in my pooja’s room. Immediately I got one dream, that one of my brother friend given to me very big baba’s picture. I woke up and I felt very happy.

 After that for intermediate I joined tuitions. While going on from my home to tuition by cycle there was a temple under construction. I was thinking which temple it is; just I entered in to the temple. I.e. our baba’s temple. Baba was very small there, temple was big but it was under construction. In those days I don’t know anything about baba’s harathulu and all. Just I prayed god. Like that every day I am going to temple and going to tuitions. This was my daily routine.

 In that way I am going to temple every day, but I was not at all more than 5 min, b’coz mine was early morning tuition. If I will spend more time in temple surely I will miss the class. Some days passed .one day that temple priest called me and told do abhishke for sai (him self only given to milk to me). Just I pored the milk on sai and ruined to tuition. This also happen for some days. Whenever I was entering into baba’s temple the priest calling me and told do abhishake. I felt little bit happy and feeling getting late to my tuition why priest is calling me every day. But somehow I felt happy. This also happened some more days. One day already I was started at home lately. But I don’t like to cross my baba’s temple without seeing him. So what I thought anyway today I am late so priest already finished abishake and all. So he won’t call me for abhishake. So just go into temple and see baba. Like this I was thinking and stopped my bicycle before temple and I entered into temple. Priest finished all the abhishake and dressed up our baba also. So I felt happy seeing abba, and I was about turning back again that temple priest called me back
He asked me my name, and my family members names and he was doing some puja before baba with “kukuma” (Chandnam,) and also he called me and do that puja for baba, at that time I got angry  “ I can’t say “no I have to go to class”, just I was murmuring u r calling me daily I am getting late u know that…if I will miss the class who will give to me nodes and all like I was thinking in my heart and did puja with kukuma to baba. That day I felt something like daily he is calling and telling all these things and also I decided in temple itself “tomorrow onwards I don’t want to do puja, if priest call me also I don’t want to do” just I decided like that and I ruined to tuition, I thought I was late 45 min. when I entered in to my class, that day my Sir didn’t came. Just all my friends were talking something. No class that day. Then I felt bad, I did not do puja with whole heart. Any way tomorrow I will do. That day, I felt like baba’s know this one early. But I don’t know. Unnecessarily I got angry on the temple priest.  I felt bad for my thoughts.

Then again next day I started at my home early, I stopped at temple (now some more devotional feeling) and I entered into temple, the temple priest doing abhishke but he didn’t even call me. I was waiting for his call. But he didn’t call me for abhishake or for puja also. Simply himself only finished. Just I prayed and went back.

Next day also same routine. I was Surprised…
At that time I came to know he is powerful and I felt very bad………. I missed good chance.

After that so many times early morning I went to temple, but no use I didn’t get chance at all. But I became devotee of saibaba.

Now that temple is very big at my hometown.  I didn’t write my exams well in intermediate. But I got first class. I joined Degree college i.e. Sri sai baba national degree college which is next to that temple only.

I went to that temple so many times……….


So I am telling to every devotee………..Plz baba knows our heart fully…our thoughts…each and every thing he is only one knows…

“ I am sorry, if any grammatical mistakes in my English please ignore it. I am not able to express sia leelas. I am not that much great.

 In my lifetime he showed his leeas so many times… but I am not able to how to express all these things…



jaisairam,

Jayasree.

Dear SAI brothers and Sisters,
                                                     thanks for this Forum where people can read how BABA pulled his "sparrows" which increase our faith.

SAI fame is spreading by leaps and bounds everyday. This can be vouched by the growing number of SAI temples/centres/websites all over the world.

I came into "SAI fold " during 1998. That was time when i had completed by B tech and aspiring to go to USA for masters. SAI was unknown to me back then though my grandfather was a sai devotee. Basically I am from chennai and stay in a place called mylapore which has a BABA temple vey close to my house. But back then i was not familiar and used to pas by the temple but not care much for BABA. Then in 1999, when i had to get my visa for coming to USA, the day before the interview i went to SAI temple since it was close by and i thought why not just go for formaility and pray. I did that and went for my interview. ALAS! my visa was rejected and i was very depressed.
I started bad mouthing all gods including BABA for not granting me visa and for spoiling my life . But Deva's ways are unfathomable and i was to realise it was part of bigger plan.

I was actually undergoing 71/2 period of saturn and was getting disaster and failures in all aspect of my career . So with anger i was an "athesit" for a short while :)

slowly i realised even being "atheist" does not help as i was in crisis and did not have job with all hopes dashed. I was ridiculed by all my ralatives and my parents underwent so much mental tension as their son is unsettled and without any job. I wanted to occuopy the free time with spuiritual acftivities and started reading slokas/doing prayer with more vigor in hope of miracle which will get my visa to US or get me a job in india.everyday i used to spend so much time in meditation, chanting gods name and started being regular visitor to BABA temple near my home.

during my seconfd trip to temple, after darshan i decided to visit SAI bookstore next to temple with hope of buying some photographs.
I suddenly saw a red book decorated with chandan,kumkum and i asked about it. The shopkeeper said it is "satcharitra'" .I asked about the book but he said they are out of stock and sritten to sansthan to ship some more books. I again chided BABA for not allowing me to get hold of his book especially after creating interest.

Suddenly a fair Man aged 30 entered the store and smiled about me and asked about my welfare. I casually explained about my disater with US visa and how I am lost in life.
He said  "no matter what Hold on to BABA and he will overturn your luck. Start reading satcharitra dn BABA will bless you."

somehow his words comforted me . Not only that he pointed to samadhi photo of SAI and said "look how handsome BABA is. he is hearing and watching you now" don't worry.

These words soothed me and i was waiting to grab a copy of satcharitra and told shopkeeper to reserve a copy. The next day, i visited another music  and magazine shop to buy some magazines

and LO!the shopekeeper of that store was reading satcharitra sitting on his desk. Immedietly i asked from where he got and if he has a copy.

he said"you can buy my copy . I have another one"

This was BABA's miracle in blessing me with book when i wanted it.I started reading book and on 7th day in sleep satya sai baba appeared and blessed me raising his hands.I was overjoyed.

Needless to say those were starting point of my faith and BABA made me wait 1 year before granting me Visa again. In that one year he gave so much experiences and increased my faith. Thinking back i realise i was sparrow who had to undergo those experiences. If i had gotten my visa first time itself, I would have come to US but still would not have known BABA so deeply. But when i came in 1999, i was so deep into SAI. Even now troubles do occur but SAI is supporting me and has helped me to finish my masters and also find work in USA.

my next goal is to find ideal wife(SAI devotee) who is gift from Deva .

I also want to return back to India and lead simple life with a decent job and good wife in service of SAI and humanity .I hope BABA will fulfill these wishes.

I request all sai Brothers and sisters to pray for me.

PS: i am also looking for original SSS translated into english word by word(already written by ZARINE and Indira kher). BABA willing that book should be soon in stands .This way BABA will fulfill wants of all aspirants.

WONDERFULL THREAD,THANKS FOR STARTING.
Om sree sai nathaya namaha.
My journey to baba started at very very young age when i was 7 year old or 8 year old,My Thatha grandpa took me to a telugu movie called"SHIRDI SAI MAHATHYAM",i was such a small kid but somehow i felt i should not move from my chair all through the movie,My grandpa always used to take me to satsang and aarthi's of sathya sai baba and shirdi sai baba,But i totally facinated by baba of shirdi and i sticked to only shirdi sai baba and got into his complete fold in 1998.
I think he was a LIFE SAVER and pulled me from big big troubles all through my college days and slowly and steadily i got into his fold.An devolped SHRADHA AND SABURI in day today life.
After marrige i can say each and every moment given to me is by ONLY BABA.
My husband is Athesit,i tried to explain him right from the first day of marrige about baba and took him to baba temples but he never became a devotee of baba.But for me baba is my oxygen i can't even live without baba's name even for a min.
I pray baba to keep our family here and all starsai devotees a happy family.
We all should concentrate on his LOTUS FEET.
May baba bless us all.

Hello Everyone!

One of our friends gave me the photo of sai baba. Even though i had the photo i was doing regular pooja.. Many of my friends were doing sai baba pooja in group every thursday.. and i got interest from there and started searching the pooja procedure.
And at that time i had lot of problem in life.. but once i started the pooja i could feel the difference.

I was blessed by the almighty ! We were trying to have a baby for 3 years.. and atlast we lost our hope and decided to to go to doctor for treatment.. but i never lost hope in saibaba.. i was continuously doing pooja and asking sai baba to bless me.. but before i went to doctor i just want to check and i was pregnant.. it is a miracle for me..

I will keep on thanking him all my lifetime. And i want to share this good news to all the members here. And to the people who sent me 'sai vrata book'.

Don't lose faith in saibaba.. faith moves mountains !

Hmmm...my case is very strange... i have developed love "automatically" for Baba...i haven't heard about Him from anyone...I am 21yrs old right now...I have just finished my engineering...i will be getting married next month...

May be i was a staunch devotee of Baba in my previous birth or something, i am again blessed to seek His feet even in this birth...

I have developed this love for Baba in my 8th std...when i was 12yrs old...He has helped me in numerous ways...i was so deeply in love for Baba that the walls of my room were full with His photos...my parents thought i was crazy...but by witnessing the miracles i have experienced in life, my parents and others got fully convinced that Baba was indeed great...He pulled me out from many disasters...

But after i have come to engineering, i fell into the busy life and forgot Him...ignorant as i was, i have misunderstood Baba for showing indifference to my plight when i faced problems...i didn't realise that i was facing the effects of my own karma and Baba was beside me all the while and giving me enough courage to face all that...

I sincerely apologize to my Baba for grossly misunderstanding Him...I will never repeat that mistake again...

But what surprises me the most is, even when a child shouts, hits and scolds his mother, his mother still loves him and wishes the best for him...even a fanatic's mother helps her child when he is in distress...Baba expresses the same love for His devotees...I have misunderstood Him for quite sometime now...but i have realised again that even admist all the blames i have imposed on Him, He didn't leave my hand...i feel as if i am tenderly embraced by Him...and i am feeling very gulity for that mistake...there is no bigger sin than misunderstanding our Baba...

I love Baba a lot...and i request everyone not to blame Him even when they feel miserable about life...He has no parallel...

Om Sai Ram...

SAI Keerthi Jee,

Thanks for initiated to share our feelings.

When I was 6 years old (1968) My Grandmother was OUR SAI Devotee. She was always close affection with known and unknown person. So, I was praying SAI.  But SAI permitted me to close HIM at 2002.  I saw a dream at Thursday early morning that HE was coming from the SKY and kept HIS hand on my head and blessed.

From the day one my life is coming up including SAI miracle at many times.

10 years back when I joined in Intermediate college(College name itself SAI JUNIOR COLEGE),on the first sunday they shown us SHIRDI SAI BABA MAHATYAM movie.Till that time i was even not know about SAI.While I was watching that movie i was with full of tears and I didnt even know what happend but I became devotee of Baba at that moment itself.What ever I asked baba has given everything except few(may be he wants to give those few things also better than what I asked).In these 10 years Baba has shown miracles in my life.Baba has become my life.
Some times we get angry on Baba if he doesnt give what ever we ask,but we need to remember that Baba is going to give us better than what we expect.
After I became SAI devotee,what ever I know about Baba I used to say that to my mother.In that way she also bacame the devootee of Baba.

Thank you Babaji for getting me back to this forum as this was missing in my life and this is the reason that i have been feeling low.

Dear Keerthi and all Sai devotees,

This is indeed a lovely topic and I am overwhelmed by reading all these stories of how Sai Baba has influenced the life of so many bhaktas drawing everyone to him like sparrows. I am moved and would like to share my story too.

I grew up in Pune and came across many friends whose families regularly visited Shirdi. Along with them I visited Shirdi once when I was in college. I loved Sai Baba's murti in Shirdi but at that point in my life I didn't know much about his ways. When my marriage was finalised I was in Nagpur and my parents were in Pune. At that time my mom called me to tell me that she had offered the first invitation card to Sai Baba at a temple very close to our home in Pune. Everything went without a hitch and my husband and I settled in Pune. There we met a friend with whom we visited Shirdi. Baba's lovely murti in Shirdi once again mesmerised my mind completely and I got a beautiful picture of him back to keep in the puja.

One  day my husband and I were on the road going somewhere and suddenly we thought of our Shirdi visit and at that very instant a big white maruti van overtook us and its entire rear window was filled with a huge Sai Baba sticker with his boon bestowing hand as if showering blessings on us. My husband was not too much of a believer, but baba in his own special way gave us this beautiful darshan and convinced him. It filled us with bliss and convinced us that he is definitely looking down upon us.

Then I faced a difficult time at work and one Thursday evening after lighting the evening diya I was crying in front of baba's photo and suddenly my husband called to say that I have got an interview call. Thus baba with his own hands lifted me out of trouble and placed me in a much better job.

After two years at the new job, I was due for a promotion but it looked very difficult. The day I knew promotions would be announced I was very upset and tearful because I knew it wasn't easy for me. The day before I was reading Sai Sat Charita and came across two beautiful pictures of Sai Baba. On my way to work my mind kept going to baba's picture and I was chanting his name. When I reached office I recieved a mail announcing my promotion and I was absolutely exhilarated. This was entirely Sai Baba's blessing.

I have always found Sai Baba at my side during difficult times. When I am handling difficult situations or an important meeting etc I invite him to step in and he always helps me. I am totally overwhelmed at how Baba has taken care of me each time I requested his help.

I am sure all Sai Baba devotees understand and experiece this sentiment as Baba is ever there for his bhaktas.

Thank you Sai Baba. Please bless everybody.

Bow to Sri Sai. Peace be to all!

Dear All Sai Devotees,
I was always aware of Sai Baba since my childhood as my great grandmother was an ardent devotee of Baba. She was actually one of the lucky ones who actually was Blessed to take Baba's darshan in Shirdi when He was alive. My great grand mother died at the age of 115 in the year 2000. But, I never took seriously to His worship all these years.
I am currently in the USA and during my Green Card processing my case was very complicated and was not easy to get approved. Then one of our family friends gave me Baba's black and white photo to keep in my valet and advised me to pray to Baba for my GC approval. I again casually prayed to Him and by His grace got my GC approved. I then visited Shirdi when I was in India in the year 2004. But again I was not a strong believer.
Again last year I was in some trouble and took to Baba's worship and did Sai Satcharita parayan a few times. I was Blessed by Baba and my troubles reduced. I again conveniently forgot him for a while. But now I am again dragged to His Holy Feet and want to become a changed man. I hope Baba accepts me as His devotee this time and never let me stay away from him.

Om Sai Ram.

Hi Saisan ji,
Om Sai Ram.
My great grand mother was only may be 10 years old when her parents took her along with them to Shirdi for Baba's darshan. And as I mentioned earlier, I was not into Baba's worship earlier, I was never interested to press her more into details. All I remember is she had Baba's photos all around her bed and she used to light incense and worship him daily.
My grand mother (her daughter) is still alive (92 years old), I will call her in India and try to find out more details now.

Jai Sai ram,

This is my unforgottable experience in Shirdi:

Till 12th march I am planning to book a ticket to shirdi for that weekend trip to shirdi. But I have no idea to book either in Train or filght because if I am going by bus or train I have to travel for 24 hrs to reach shirdi from bangalore. So it will take atleast three days to complete my shirdi darshan. But I was in a critical situation I dont have leave more than 2 days. I started thinking like Is it really required to go now kind of thoughts in my mind and also I feared like is it Saibaba is not allowing me to come to shirdi. I was in delima to decide what to do.

Then on Thursday I prayed Saibaba as " If you wish that I want to come to shirdi by this weekend means within this evening I need a ticket somehow which is convenient according to my plan", actually before doing all this I told to my friend in Mumbai about my Shirdi trip.


Great miracle is happened in the same day evening I got a call from my friend saying that he booked a ticket for me to and fro in flight that too with cheap rate becoause he is working in Jet ariways. So he himself did for me without asking my suggestion. Its a miracle really he didnt asked even before booking ticket he planned everything and sent me a e- ticket.

We reached Shirdi on sunday early morning. First we went to Samadhi mandir and had darshan of about 20 mins, then we went to Dwarkamai. After I cameout from there, my mind is still with Saibaba, I have no idea to return back to home, so I planned to stay back and I went inside Samadhi Mandir again in the evening to join Dhoop Aarti. This is my unforgottable experience. I forgot myself for about 30 mins in front of Saibaba. I realised his presence everywhere and I dono how to explain that experience.The Vibration that I realised is unexplainable moment and I have no words to describe about it.

So please I am requesting all Saibaba devotees whoever got doubt about the presence of Saibaba or to realise him atleast visit once to Shirdi. (Sorry this I am  mentioning for the starter of Saibaba devotees like me). I am sure that you all will experience the same darshan as I got in my first trip to Shirdi. Frankly speaking I have no word to explain his realisation exactly what I felt its such unforgottable moment in my life.

Jai Sai Ram

Actually I didnt knew baba at all that any shirdi sai baba exist or not.......i am not very intelligent student and during the admission of colleges one day with my parents we were wondering from one college to another college for admission and got so tired and not geting admission at all it got evening also .....then finally we reached lodhi road Dyal Singh college evening one and you know whole day weather was also very hot and sunny and by then time we reached Dyal singh weather also got so fine that it about to rain .......then finally i got the admission there and rain also started .........then when we left from the college after admission ..just on the way there were many temples and i felt so good that at such place i have got admission so spiritual and so nice place .there were temple of krishna bhagwanji ramji southindian temple very beautiful and last not the least SHIRDI SAI BABAJI TEMPLE .AND all were beautiful and neat and tidy temples......and then finally we went to one of the temple ..and that of SHIRDI SAI BABAJI and when we reached there that was arti time and i just loved there and love to see people how devotedly they are present at arti of baba ....and that was the first day when i got to know about baba and i felt wonderful there ...actually i dont like to visit temples at all not much but for the first time i just loved it there and by looking at  the baba idol i felt his presence very much there and that he is looking at everyone and blessing them alll
..so  this is how i got to know baba  SHIRDI SAI BABAJI ....OM SAI RAM ...
As i told you i never knew about baba anything never heard about him ...in that college only dyal singh ..and as i told you i am not good at studies at all...it was my exam time only jan 14th my exam going on and i didnt studied at all for that subject and i just went for exam ......and finally the question paper distributed to us and i saw the paper and i didnt knew anything to answer ...for a second teacher left a class room immediately i also left that i cannot appear in this paper.../...then i went to my library and saw one of my favourite teacher i told him the fact that i didnt appear and i didnt studied....so what he can say ...he said you should not do this ...and left from there....i was other side feeling guilty and embarrased why i talked to him......then i left from college and went to sai baba temple ....and feeling scared what i will tell to my parents and how ...i thought to hide the fact ..but i seek for baba guidance and to show me the way what to do  now .......finally like this anyhow i reached home...i saw noone is at home and door is closed ...to pass my time i reached internet cafe and went to my email and that day was thursday .......for the first time i saw baba org has sent me mail and ...at first i was surprised to see that mail that how can this mail i never recieved baba mail ever before ....then i read it ...and there i read all beautiful experiences of bhakt ...and where there was a hidden advice from baba for me ...that i should tell the fact to mom and dad should not hide it.........so i left from cafe scared ...so i prayed to baba that i am telling mom the fact rest you take care.....my mom is very strict and used to alwaays get tempered specially about our studies ....so anyhow i went to phone booth to call my mom and to tell her that i went to give the exam but i didnt knew so i just walked off from the classroom without giving exams ...and i am sorry.......mom was in office ..so mom cannot shout at me she just said i will come home then will see.........so that moment mom didnt said anything......i was saved that time.............then the time came when my mom reached home ...and my heartbeat was running faster and scared that  now i am just gone mom will not spare me ...then mom came .......do you know looking at mom face she was not at all angry ..and perfectly fine.........and other side she bought something very precious at home for the first time ....and that was the calender.......
can you guess whose...............for the first time we ever recieved such ..................the calender of SHIRDI SAI BABAJI ..............AND LIKE THAT DAY HE TOOK CARE OF THE SITUATION AND SAVED ME FROM SITUATION......AND YOU know i was saved and you know bcoz my marks were not upto level ...principal asked to call your parents then ony you will get roll number to appear in  your exams  and ....because i have told mom the fact ...i was saved this way from many lies and fraud .........otherwise if i didnt told mom the fact i could have stuck up in worst situation..from which baba saved me ......THANK YOU BABA.....and like this for the first time SHIRDI SAI BABAJI came into our home ......forever ......and you know there was the deal from baba that everyyear you will come yourself we will not purchase your calender ......and you know like this baba calender after this everyyear coming through someone else but we never purchased.and you know baba shirdi prasad also came from someone else but at the same time when we recieved calender ..........this all happened after when i got the admission in dyal singh before we never knew about him and never recieved any baba calender before like this...........so like this we got to know baba and his grace and love ....
I HOPE I DIDNT BORED YOU BY .........agar humse kuch galti ho gayi ho likhne mein please forgive me .......and thank YOU BABA FOR BEING INTO OUR LIFE......THANK YOU ...........I LIKE TO TELL YOU ALL...I AM THE MOST WORST DEVOTEES OF BABA WHO IS NOT AT ALL GOOD AT ANYTHING .....BUT STILL LIKE TO TELL BABA PLEASE FORGIVE US FOR OUR SINS AND PLEASE I WANT TO CORRECT MYSELF AND WANT TO LIVE MY LIFE IN YOUR DIVINE LOTUS FEET ........I LOVE YOU BABA WE WANT TO BE YOUR GOOD KIDS

A Very Good Morning to All my Sai Baba's devotees,

Dear Brother & Sister thanks for taking me into this wonderful SAI FAMILY. I am feeling baba has directed me to this site. I am a baba devotee since a long time.

Today I want to share my few experiences with you.

Every Thursday I listen to BABA's aarti and if I forget due to some problem I will hear either the aarti or BABA's gives me his darshan. It has happened to me many times and I feel BABA is with me always.

I had BABA's photo pinned up on my desk, when my desk was shifted from one floor to another floor (the was done by my other collegues) BABA's photo was left behind. The next day I went to my old desk to get the photo and was extremely disappointed to see it missing, someone had taken the photo. I was very sad for the whole day. Next day when I went to my new desk I FOUND BABA'S CALENDER ON MY DESK. I HAD 1 PHOTO OF BABA AND BABA GAVE ME 12 PHOTO. I TREASURE THAT CALENDER AND DAILY OFFER MY PRAYERS TO IT.

Good Day

Sairam,
Keerthiji It's really a very lovely topic started by you. I am sure everybody wud appreciate you for this. Thankyou so much for this . I remember I was in my teens and i believed a lot in Baba.  I was devoted towards Baba I regularly used to visit Sai temples on Thursdays I also remember whenever I had any problem I used to cry in front of Baba and my problem wud be solved. But I do not remember as to what happened and I went far away from Baba I stopped going to his temples i stopped worshipping him. Last to Last year that was in 2006 I was going through a very bad phase I was suffering from severe depression and my mom was so worried I always felt like attempting suicide I was tired of living I never wanted to live I wanted to come out of this depression but in vain. One day my mummy was trying to condole me and she said me k hum log Shirdi jaayenge  aur Baba sub theek ker denge. We went to Shirdi and again somewhat faith for Sai developed in me bus Somewhat not much Infact last year my mummy used to visit sai temple on Thursdays but i never accompanied her Infact I used to get irritated. This year in January i had been to Delhi for the mundan ceremony of  my Masi’s grandson. My Masi wanted me and my mom to stay back for some more time with her She was forcing us a lot to stay for some more days But I never wanted to stay back In fact My mom wanted to stay back some more days But I said No.It so happened the day before we were supposed to take our train. My mother got unwell and her BP had gone very high something 230 The next day before taking the train We took her to the doctor so that we cud take her medicine and then take the train But The doctors after doing all the examinations admitted  my mom in the ICU as her heart had got enlarged and if it had been been half an hour late for us to see the Doctor She wud have had a major heart failure. The Heart Specialist whom we visited was a Sai devotee He said k Sai ne inko bacha liya. We had to stay there for more 15 to 20 days During our this visit to Delhi I came across an miracle of Sai which happened with my Masi  This year on 25th January there was  ceremony of my Masi's grandson for what we had been to Delhi. It so happened that my Masi went to Noida Mandir of Sai in Sector 40 for giving  the invitation card and a box of Laddu to Baba and take the blessings of Baba for the child. The Box contained 4 compartments with 4 big laddus in it The Pujari took the card and placed it at Baba's holy feets and he also kept the box at Baba's feets but he did not open the box Neither did he take any laddu from he just kept the box at the feets of Baba and returned the box to my Masi. After coming out of the temple My Masi opened the box of the Laddus and to her surprise One laddu was missing from one compartment and there were rose petals and Udi in that particular compartment in place of Laddu. Is this not a miracle Baba accepted the Prasad and also gave them the blessings in form of rose petals and Udi. After knowing about this miracle and also of thinking of how Baba saved my mom’s life and brought her back from the clutches of death I once again got attracted to my Baba to my Sai Pita whom I had forgotten some years back God knows Why ? Baba pulled her old devotee who had forgotten him like a string pulling the bird. As Baba says “ I BRING MY MEN TO ME FROM LONG DISTANCES UNDER MANY PLACES THEY DO NOT COME OF THEIR OWN ACCORD” How true is this saying of Baba. Baba himself induced his thought into me Aur main poori tarah se apne Sai pita ki ho gayi. and since then Baba is everything for me My father My friend My SaiMa everything everything everything . When i am upset I also fight with him Because I feel I have the right to fight with my father as every child  do fight with their parents Today I am Staunch devotee of Sai But yes I am really sad as and how did I forget my Sai Pita and left him. But this is also true "Baba apne bhakto ko saat samundra paar se bhi kheech ker apne paas le aate hain" and Baba ne mere saath bhi waise he kiya Thankyou Sai Pita Thankyou for everything Thankyou very much k aapne aapko bhulane waali apni is beti ko wapas apne paas bula liya. Thankyou very much.

I came to know about Baba very late in my life. I was about 21 yrs old and had started working after completing college. My parents were frantically looking for a good match to get me married. One of my colleagues told me to pray to sai baba and I started visiting his temple..not to pray just for marriage but also to share with him all my troubles which I faced being alone and away from my parents in a new place with a new job.

Baba saved me from getting married to a person who later turned out to be a money maniac!! It was Sai Ram who showed me my husband and I feel lucky to have such a wonderful family and husband. But due to my own ignorance I stopped going to his temple.

After nearly 5 yrs after my marriage I got into a serious problem when my daughter was born with a cleft lip ad palate. I could not take the shock and went into a depression. It was Sai Ram who gave me a new life by giving darshan in the form of his eleven sayings which I found in the new house where my parents shifted to give a change of place to me. Just when I was reading those eleven sayings Baba's procession went before the house and I prayed to him to take care of me and my daughter. He answered my prayer and is still answering!!

OM SAI RAM!! SRI SATCHIDANANDA SATGURU SAI NATH MAHARAJ KI JAI!!

Jai Sairam,

I came to know about Shri Saibaba from the last one year. It happens by chance that i am going to meet along with my family to one of our friend, then i saw Baba mandir and got feeling for darshan and decided that i will go for Darshan while returing, but got late and by that time mandir is closed.

Somehow we planned and visited Baba mandir,  i got attracted towards Baba and started visiting Baba's mandir. Baba has helped me very and still helping me. I studied about Baba life's and though " Baba is the master of this whole world and lived so simple life".

Baba... please bless all of us as you are the only hope and help us so tha we can follow your teachings to implement in our life.

Hi Shirdi Sai Family,

Let me start with my experience how 'Baba called me', yes i repeat 'He called me'. I am new to this forum, and this is my first post, after reading many articles here.

My name is Sunil, and I am from Chennai. My grandparents and my mom are already devotees of Shirdi Sai Baba. I used to worship all Hindu God's and as well as God's of other religions too, and will not talk bad about other religions and God's. I used to visit any temple, out of my compulsion to visit a temple every week, for being good. Also, read Sacharitra out of my mom's compulsion half way through. But have not felt the presence of God until March 13th 2008.

Here it goes...On March 13th 2008(Thursday)...when I was sleeping, the time would be early morning like 2 or 3 am...I was asleep with eyes closed, but I was pretty much awake, and I got an instinct (not a dream, vision, etc described here by others), like I got to visit Sai Baba and He is my God, and got a feeling that I have forgotten Him for long. The next day morning in my office the first e-mail i got was a Shirdi Sai picture from my friend, and for the next 2 or 3 days, there was information regarding Sai Baba around me. I was shaken and from then on, started visiting the Neelangarai Sai Baba temple on ECR road, and Mylapore temple. Then i started to read Satcharitra with devotion and an intention to follow the good things mentioned in that.

For any instance or miracle i read on Satcharitra, i slowly had the feeling of something like electric current running down from my head, and my hair will be standing on its ends and I will be crying, then lo' there was complete miracles all around me, even for small small things. Now, my devotion for him grew more, and I have surrendered myself to Him. Without reading a chapter from Satcharitra every day, I will not hit the bed, however late it may be. He is the God that I felt since my birth, and I pray to him to be with me always, and I will try to walk His path..with His Grace.

One Small Request to the Moderators/Members: There are many people visiting this forum from around the world, and there are many people not knowing Hindi. So I request the devotees who use 'Hindi', pleasssssssse give the meaning of what you have typed in 'English', in brackets. So, your message can be understood by everyone, and the Grace of Baba be showered upon every one.

Keerthi: Thanks for opening a very good topic, even I am feeling the same presence of Baba with me for each thread I am reading and I am enjoying the divine Abhishek over me.

-Sunil

Dear Friends,

Be SAI BABA be with us...

My mother always prayed to sai baba and told me how she has seen wonders of baba in neighbourhood. Baba stayed with our family all the time but when i went to nagpur for my studies i felt my Baba's presence in my life and how he is with me all the time.

Thanks to my college friends who took me one day to sai temple for puja and then every thrusday i went there without failure. Sai baba has always been my freind, my father listening to me and showing me the right path.
My mother was very sick in my college days everbody said she may not walk ever again but my prayer to baba was answered, she started walking in just 7 days.

Today also if there is any problem first thing i do is go to temple sit infront of baba and pray to him for peace...The love and faith for baba in my heart cannot be expressed through words.

I am sure he will always be there with all his devotees.

Jai Sai Ram

Baba is has been and will always be with me, with al of us.

My father's a big devotee of Baba.  It was he who first brought a photoframe of Bab in safforn clothes. It was a half phtograph i mean only one hand giving ashirwad.  When I was a child and I used to have an opportunity of doing puja I used to puja of the photo too. I am a very lucky person.  I had the opportunity of seeing my great grand parents and my grandmother who recently passed away in the month of March.  She was 87yrs.  More than my Dad's dad's family we were much closer to his Mom's family and my Great Grandfather was a person who was blessed with a Guru and his directions.  Once he met with a terrible accident wherein a brain operation was required, I prayed to Lord Shiva for his well being and when he was back to normal (a miracle in itslef as he was 80yrs) my Grt. Grandmother had promised Baba to come to Shirdi with him.  She had 3 sons but no one wanted to take the risk of taking both of them to Shirdi.  My father and mother voluntereed to take them and had a safe trip back too.  Later I had the opportunity of visiting Shirdi at least 5 times as a child and a teenager. Once I had the greatest opportunity of a lifetime, as I wen to Shirdi, Akkalkot and Gangapur- all three great Shri Dattaguru teerthashtans alongwith my great grandmother, my grandmother and her brother who actually showed me the spiritual parth and guided to it. All the three are no more.  Later I was faced with a terrible situation but somehow my soul was alwasy parying to Sai to guide me and I always told Him everything I felt.  Then came another terrible situation when I wondered how it could happen with respect to my father, as he was a Sai devotee and seemed to have lost his righteous path in life, however he never faltered in his prayer's to Baba! It was very difficult to accept that whilst he prayed to Baba, how could he do a wrong thing which affected the whole family, especially me so badly.  I don't remember how I got the book but I used to sincerely read a book in which there was a full description in short of Baba's appearnce and leelas. And one day He really gave me Darshan which foolish me could not take the opportunit to touch His Lotus Feet!  It so happened, my Mom is a Mauritian, we had some visitiors who had come to India at Sion and Mom was supposed to collect a parcel from them.  It was quite late and I was working then.  However, I agreed to accompany Mom there.  It was quite dark by the time we reached and were unable to fathom the way.  We were just wondering how to go about when a Punjabi lady came by on her own and asked us where we wanted to go.  This was near the Gurudwara.  She hailed a taxi for us on her own, the taxi came from the wrong side! She saw us seated well, we thanked her and she told us, He will take you.  The person driving was a man dressed in a white Kafni and turban absolutely like Baba! I was staring at Him from behid but couldn't speak a word! He took us exactly where we wanted to reach and once we stepped out of the cab, He came out too, when I asked Him how much was the fare? He said, "Tumse kya lena, tum itna karte ho, tumhe mai chai pilata!" I found this strange, we thought he would wait till we went and came back to givehim the fare! But no sooner, we turned there was no cab and no driver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Sorry,,,, I can't continue as tears are welling up and would be difficult to control...

Jai Sai Ram

Dear Kirti,
Thank u very much for starting this wonderful topic.
Dear Saidevotee
I would also like to share my experience that how I had become a sai devotee.
I knew that Saibaba is only a God till 30.nov. 07. But luckily by the grace of Sai I got a lovely book name Shirdi Sai Benevolence on 1st  December 2007 which is written by Maharshi Ramananda Swamiji. After reading this book my life has changed. I came to know who is Shirdisai and how to love him, what saibaba want from their devotees and many more things.  After reading this book I started experiencing many miracles by the grace of sai.  Dear devotees would also request you to read this book . For more information u can visit www.shirdisaianugrahapeetam.com. and please be in touch with me for further any information. May sai bless all devotees.
 
Om sai

Really nice topic, and feels so good reading about how each of us came into Sai's darbar :) For me, my father's side of the family are ardent Sai devotees and my grandfather got darshans from Sai too(he saw Sai standing in front of him and talking to him). With Sai's grace and blessings, my grandfather used to be the most actively involved in the construction of a Sai Baba temple. A family tradition - every thursday, we have Sai bhajans at home. Co-incidentally, i was born on a Thursday in Sri Satya Sai Baba clinic :) Baba is always with us, always! :)

I want to share my current exp. with Sai Baba

22-05-2009,, 10:56 p.m

hume pata chala kii mere brother ka accident ho gaya hai;;
use ek auto wala hospital lekar gaya aur hum log bhi waha pahuche,,
doctor ne emergency me treatment start toh kar diya magar khoon kafi bah chuka tha is wajah se use hosh nahi aaya,, auto wale ne bataya kii mai waha se ja raha tha toh raaste me bheed lagi dekh kar ruk gaya ,, inka kaafi khoon bah chuka tha ,,log sirf inhe dekh rahe the,,  magar mujhse raha nahi gaya aur mai inhe trauma center le aaya;;

Humne auto waale ko thanx kaha aur use ghar jaane ko kaha,,

23-05-2009 2:30 a.m
itne me doctor ne aakar kaha kii
aap log inhe ghar le jaiye bas ab yeh jyada se jyada 3-4 ghante ke liye hai,, ise hosh bhi nahi aaya hai,
,,
yeh sunkar hum log toh jaise ke rah kar bhi nahi rahe,, ek toh uski aisi halat uppar se doctor yeh kah kar  chala gaya;;
Bas yaad tha hume toh sirf SAI apna ,, naam lete gaye baba ka,, chhod diya un par sab kuch ,, hume nahi pata tha kii kya hone wala hai  magar vishwaas tha kii baba hamari madad ke liye jarur aayenge;;

Tabhi baba ne bhi hamare aansuo ki pukar suni aur  na jane kya hua doctor wapis aa gaya,, humne puchha toh usne kaha kii  pata nahi mujhe kya hua mai jate late ruk gaya aur socha kii ek baar phir dekh lu,, bas doctor andar hi aaya tha kii bhai ka hath halka sa hila yeh dekh kar doctor ki bhi umeed jag gayi aur usne  treatment start kiya,,,

magar use hosh nahi aaya tha,,
uske pahle brain ke citiscan ko dekha toh woh pura black tha,,, chot face aur brain pe lagi thi

second citiscan me brain me 3 clots aaye,,

23 - 05 -2009 8:00 a.m

 jise hatane ke liye brain me hole kiya aur waha se dawai daali ,,face aur  jaws me facture ke karan woh saans nahi le pa raha tha so gale me hole karke pipe daala aur ventilator pe rakha,,,

ab doctors ne hume 72 hrs. ka tym de diya tha ,, aur kaha agar 72 hrs me hosh nahi aaya toh yeh koma me chala jayega,,,
humne uske maathe pe vibhuti lagayi aur baba ka daaman pakde rakha,, koi kuch bhi puchhta  ya kahta toh hamare muh se bas sai naam hi niklata tha,,

har kisi ne apni apni tarah se prayer ki,, chahe woh dost ho, rishtedaar ho ya padosi ho ya jisne bhi suna usne bhi baba se dua ki

Aur nateejan 25-05-2009 12:00 p.m ko use hosh aa gaya,,
eyes me facture ke karan aankhein nahi khul rahi thi magar woh baat sunkar response de raha tha,, bol toh nahi pa raha tha magar ishara jarur kar raha tha;;;

Khair use hosh aaya toh hum sab ki jaan me jaan aayi aur hum sabne tahe dil se baba ka shukriya ada kiya,,,

use regular hum baba ki vibhuti lagate rahe,,, 2 din baad usne ek aankh kholi,, face ki swelling bhi kam hoti gayi dheere dheere fark pad raha tha,,,

doctors ne kaha kii jaisi iski halat thi uske hisab se yeh kaafi jaldi improve kar raha hai ,, yeh sab aapki duaao ka asar hai varna humne toh pahle din ummed chhod di thi,, ye sach me chamatkar hai

lagbhag 30-05-2009 tak wo kaafi improve ho gaya tha,, ab wo uth- baith toh nahi sakta tha magar khatre se bahar tha aur us waqt hamare liye yeh bhi bahut badi baat thi,,,

31-05-2009

ko doctors ne use discharge kar diya magar ab uski recent memory lost ho chuki thi,,, wo hume janta tha,, pahchanta tha magar is waqt wo kise kya kah raha hai, kise maar de khuch nahi kaha ja sakta tha,,, aisi haalat me use ghar laana bhi risky tha qk use taanke lage the aur gale me pipe tha jise wo baar baar khichnta tha,,, uske 2 saal ka beta hai jiski yaad bhi use kaafi dino ke baad aayi,,

doctors ne pipe 1 mahine baad hatana tha  mgar baba ki kripa hui kii uski woh pipe abhi 4 din pahle nikal di,, ab use dusre hospital me shift kar diya hai,,,

Sai ki kripa se kaafi sudhaar hai magar uski jidd kabhi kabhi bahut ho jaati hai,,,
wo har waqt shirdi jaane ki jidd lagaye rakhta hai,,
ab toh baba se prayer hai kii use jaldi se thik kar do taaki hum sab log aapke dwaar shirdi aakar aapka shukriya ada kar sake......................


Pls. aap log bhi kaho na baba se kii apni kripa banaye rakhe aur mere big b ko jaldi se thik kar de,,,,

Thank you BAbaji

Om sai ram,

maine sabki baten padkar socha kyun na main bhi apni mulakat k baare me bata dun.
meri mummy sai baba ko manti thi hum sab sai mandir bhi jate par main us time baba ko belive nahi kartithi. mere liye to bas wo bhagwan the jinhe dekhkar pranam karna hot ahi or kuch mangna hota tha. so main b wahi karti.
par jab main college pahunchi to ek baar mere bf se main contact nahi kar pa rahi thi,  was very very tensed. tab hum fnds milkar sai mandir gayi wahan main baba se ye requset karne gayi thi k mera usse contact karwa do par mujhe wahan pahunchkar jo khushi hui na wo aaj bhi mere andar hai. main baba se kaha k baba mera mann bahot shant ho gaya aapke darshan karke. please hosake mera usse contact karwa do. bas fir kya tha? main jab mandir me thi tabhi meri frndk pass uska ph aaya or usne contact number de diya. bas main samjh gayi k baab ne mere liya kya kiya.

uske baad ek baat or bata dun kmeri zindgi ki sabse buri ghatna bhi sai mandir me hi hui hai. jise main kabhi thik nahi kar paungi.
kuch time k liye baba ko chhaod diya tha maine par mann manta hi nahi k unhe chhoad dun. lagta hai kabhi kripa karenge.
kabhi tomujhe bhi sahara denge. isi ummed me hun k wo aa jaye meri madad ko.

Hi keerthisai ji,

First of all thanks for this nice Idea.

My self Gayathri and I am feeling as baba himself made this way .

Becz when I was in 8th class , SaiBaba temple newly opened in our village and at my home I can see all Gods(Shiva , Laxim ...even Baba) but I don't know much about baba.

1) During those days when I was going to tusion I used to visit that Baba temple becz it is in the same street itsef
specially all our tution mates at the baba temple at 8:00 pm in the queue on Thursday becz Prasad we will get( :)
2) those day I used to study that holy book when I was in that temple just for some time
3) one day my uncle went out of town so his mother called me and my sister to give her company at night as she is very old, that time in the TV we watched Sai Baba Mahatyam movie , may be impressed a lot
4) automatically I started loving Baba very much
5) One day when I went to my father's printing press I saw Baba holy book (sai baba jivita charitra) and my father told if you want you can take it perminently but I said
how it can be possible? some one given you for binding of this book(book looks very old no proper).
Then he replied as but those people didn't come again and I know them well I can answer them

So I can feel like as Baba only given that book to me
6) Once I got the book I prayed baba as please come to my dream and started doing parayana
   when only 3 days left to compete that parayana baba came to my dreams
7) after 10th class when my parents wanted to stop my education due to financial problem I prayed baba can you imagine the magic now studied upto PG MSC computers
8) I really hates gents becz afte marriage they for doury or for any thing they teases ladies like any thing
   But can you imagine Baba sent one guy for me we loved each other and from Intermidiate 2nd year itself he spent money for my education and for everything
9) when everyone rejected our marriage specialy at his side due to cast and financial sides can you imagine I got marriage after my Degree first year with all of their blessings and from that time itself his parents and sisters every one loves me very very much -- enjoying very big family
10) when my husband don't have belief on any god , even for my birthdays also he just dropped me out side the temple , he dislikes to put his feet inside
can any one imagine now he is devotee of Baba (the way he converted I will post later)
11) Even I completed my MSC computers , didn't get any desired job just working in Bank at Two wheeler loan section one day I hesitated like anything and due to baba's grace I came to Pune on Oct 6th to get the job in software
can any one imagine I got job in big company with in a month itself

Bapre this forum is not enough to express everything directly I will give you one answer:

See if you introduced to some one , but how friendship starts in both of you ?
are you going to tell that peson as you want his friendship? No automatically you will get to know as you both are friends and liking much each other

The same way me and baba likes each other he is mother , father, Guru, specially specially ...............he is my Best Friend-------he reacts for every moment of mine (my inner thought , my questions -- everything).
I love him very very much as I love my husband .

Thanks again for this wonderful idea and do you know baba only given this idea in your mind .

Becoz of  baba i am alive today & messaging  our sai family...........I can't express my life how i was there before & now after Sai coming in my life.

I have lots of trouble in my college days with money as well my studies after beliving my sai my all problems solved one by one.When i went first time to shirdi with my family When i am travelling  to shirdi just 4 years back In my mind i was wondering that if baba was alive i might have went & spoke but were i should search of him. Miracle took place Just as soon i got down from railway station at mid night my parents took the carrier went front & myself  brother were back one old man with long white  dress & red color cloth at collar & teeths were like daimond Old man approached me & said i was waiting such a long time that to mid night & 1st time i went to shirdi i dont no any one there.Wen i turned back just disappear i searched in shirdi then later i realised He is non other my sweet sweet mother Sia Baba.This is becoz he relaised me that i am there & every were. till now i cant forget & also dont wont.

Each & every step my sai will help i have full hope.

[DEAR SAI FAMILY MEMBERS,

OM SAI RAM

I hail from Jaipur in Rajasthan it was year 1987 i was on the way from Sangamner (Near Pune ) to Jalgaon .i had gone for admission in a private Engineering college . I ahd appeared in Pre Engineering test of Rajsthan state and was awaiting results . Prior to this in year 1986 i could not clear the entrance and was in tremendous pressure of society to get admission in a Engineering college . I happened to visit SHIRDI , i use to watch his photo in one of my Aunt's house in Delhi .Knowing nothing about SAI BABA .It was morning 5 am when i entered the Samadhi and participated in Abhishek . I prayed Baba that i must clear the Engineering test conducted by state govt as it was difficult for my parents to pay for Private college .625 seats and 27000 candidates .I returned back to Jalgaonafter having darshan and praying at SHIRDI .At jalgaon, in Dhulia i filled up form for admission at another private engineering college .I intended to take admission in Engineering .I came back to Jaipur and after 15 days got letter from Dhulia college and i have to submit fees if i desire admission . My father was in dilema he told that his means are not enough to bear expenses of a private college.My uncle then intervened and asked to atleast go and deposit the fees .The results of Govt Engineering college In Rajasthan was awaited .I a fix I alongwith my father started for Maharashtra .We first went to Sangamner where i was informed that i am much below in Merit list and should not expect admission .Now we have to go to Dhulia near Jalgaon from where i received the call letter .On the way we stopped at SHIRDI to have Darshanof SAI BABA this time with my father who was also a devotee . After darshan we came to Jalgaon Railway station in evening ,the next morning we were to go to Dhulia for admission .In late evening i asked my father to make a trunk call (NO STD in those days ) to my Uncle at Jaipur and enquire about Result of State Engg Admission Test .At 8.30 pm I went to GPO at Bhusaval and dialled my Uncle at Jaipur .To my surprise he informed that Result of test is out and my number appears in merit list i will get admission in State Engg College . Now no need to go to Dhulia .I came to my father in Retiring Room at Bhusaval Railway Station and informed him with tears in my eyes. I told him that SHIRDI SAI BABA had called both of us for Darshans together and it is HIS Grace .By next train we came back to Jaipur and i got admission in Engineering college the expenses of which could be born by my father .

This was my first experience .Even today when i remember this incident i get tears in my eyes for luv shown by BABA "THE ALMIGHTY ".

Om sai ram !  This thread is gud and thnx all for sharing...I would like to add mine also here.Once my father and myself went to neighbour home,we were talking about many things and he shown sai baba picture and told that he is powerful god.We had a casual look on the foto and he took us to baba temple  neaby his home.After days passed away i got a campus interview nearby that baba temple.The company was one of my dream company so i went to baba temple before attending the interview and prayed him that this is my dream company,i trust you and i want to clear 1st round.
And to my suprise no1 in my college even very brilliant girl than me didn't clear first round but i cleared it out..I really felt happy and i cant even control my tears..And for final round they called me but i lost my hope and said in my mind that i can't clear this and went for the final round...Baba taught me a lesson that if u trust me fully i will be with u ever and wen i lost hope i didnt clear that round.And felt sorry to baba that i lost hope in him...
     From that day i m ardent devotee of baba.He is my everything.Love you sai baba... :)

Jai Sai Ram.

I'm a new member to this site. It took me some time to realise how Sai Baba was always with me. When I was doing my professional course, we had a famous Sai temple near our Institute, I used to go there often and used to pray to Sai Baba. Then my family also started visiting there. I successfully completed my professional course. After marriage I shifted to another state but whenever I used to visit my parents place I used to visit Sai Baba mandir along with my parents. After marriage I visited shirdi. Later we as a big group - my parents, inlaws, husband and small daughter, visited Shirdi but it took us very very long to get darshan, we all were tired, exhausted and little disappointed. My little daughter got so scared she was afraid to visit any temple after that, she used to ask whether there will be queues and rush like it was in that temple. I was little upset with this. Later we again planned a visit to Shirdi after a considerable time gap this time I had my son also. Through out the way I kept praying to Sai, that we should have nice darshans and my daughter's all doubts and fears should vanish. I was with my husband 2 kids and with my parents. When we reached the temple, it was noon, very hot and we came to know that there is lot of rush on that day. I was very disappointed but kept praying to God. Suddenly we came to know that we can have special darshans as my dad was having ministry pass. I was so delighted, we had such smooth darshans and my both kids were so delighted, my daughter said she really enjoyed visit to the temple. I thanked Sai so many times, he only planned my visit in this way to remove all our doubts and fears. After that we have visited Shirdi again 2 times once with my in laws and once we as family both the times we had really good darshan and now both my kids love going to Shirdi. I have now understood the leela of Sai. First time I went in a bus and now Sai has blessed us so we can afford to take our own vehicle and visit Shirdi. Since that visit I have started feeling very close to Sai Baba. He has helped me numerous times when i committed mistake and asked for forgiveness, he has always taken me out of all problems. I have been a guest to this site for more than a year now I was not sure whether as a member I will be really able to contribute any thing in the same devotion and ability as others. The thought of being a member of this site was in my mind from long. Now, Sai Baba has opened the gates for me. Om Sai Ram. Om Sai Shri Sai Jai Jai Sai.

Sai Ram and Happy Thursday to brothers and sisters

I’m Revathy and I’m from Malaysia. This is a very interesting topic but I have a very long story. Baba’s way is always unique. Remember how Baba drew Lakshmichand to Him? Baba said that ‘let My devotee be at any distance, even at thousands miles away, he will be drawn to Shirdi, like a sparrow with a thread tied to his feet’. Anywhere Baba is, that is also similar to Shirdi itself as Baba confessed that seeing Him in picture is equivalent to seeing him in person.

None of my family members are devoted to Sai. Once I knew very little about Sai. It was not till my dad was terminally ill, I got to know little bit about Sai. My ex-boyfriend used to take me to Satya Sai Centre. That is where I saw Shirdi Sai for the first time. However, that centre focused more Satya Sai. I’m not a believer but I was so desparate and was trying anything possible to save my father. I prayed hard and even wrote letters asking for cure for my father. However, at the end my father died. I became so frustrated and gave up praying. Till then I was still unaware of Shirdi Sai.

After my father passed away a year ago, I faced many problems (Even now I’m having some problems). I was a good student, but my marks regressed. Our relatives neglected us. My younger sister and my mum were having arguments. My sister left home due to a misunderstanding even before my dad passed away, probably that was what made my father’s health affected. She hasn’t returned even after my father’s death. My sister is like my best friend , my father was the only one I counted so much. Losing both of them at about the same time really affected me much. Then, my ex-boyfriend also kind of neglected me despite he knew I was having many problems. I was all alone by then. Even my friends did not care much for me, they had their own issues and problems. It is true that people like to hear our happiness and not our sadness. I often cried in my room (I’m staying in college hostel, far away from home).

I cried for many days, till one day I feel something is urging me to google about Sai. That was when I get to know Shirdi Sai Baba, and there is something called Sri Sai Satcharita. I wasn’t taking anything so seriously. I kept on googling more, found some songs and I found a site www.yoursaibaba.com. It states think of Sai, a number will come in your mind, it will answer you. Firstly, I got a statement that I will travel. Shortly after, I travelled to my hometown. Then, I went to buy new God picture for my house with my mum. I wanted to get the picture of Lord Shiva, as my father was His devotee. Anyway, my mum asked me to get Shirdi Sai Baba picture instead and the weird thing was she was not a Baba’s devotee. That’s how Sai came to my house. On the way back, something urged me to stop at Baba’s centre along the same road. I entered the centre which once I came with my father when he was ill (he wasn’t a believer either, a friend invited him to come). I saw Sai Satcharita, it costed RM40. I opened my purse, there was exactly the same amount, not more or less. It was as if telling me that the money was made for Satcharita. That’s how I got my precious Satcharita.

When I returned college, one day a friend of mine asked me to accompany her to do shopping. I was hesitating because I had nothing to do there. However, my friend got disappointed to the extent that she posted in facebook about her sadness. I felt guilty, then I drew a tick and a cross in a chit, asked Sai if I should go or not, the reply was a tick. I believed Sai though I had nothing to do there. The next day, I got my answer, why Sai wanted me to go. Firstly, there was sudden disconnection of electricity in my college , if I stayed I couldn’t even use my laptop to finish my assignment.  Secondly, Sai made both of us get lost in the new place, after a long walk, guess what I found a Sai centre. I never knew there centre existed there before. That’s how Sai pulled me to His house.

This is another story that I feel I must share. I have many close Christian friends. They have been very helpful. When my father was sick and shortly after he passed away, they really tried hard to bring me to Christ. I do not know what to do. One night I had a dream, I was in the middle of offering prayer to Sai, then I saw a group of Christians whom I do not know. One elderly man questioned my prayer for Sai and acted wild by pushing the table in which I put fruits and lighted incense sticks for Sai. I felt hurt and started crying. Then, suddenly I heard a song , it was a Baba’s song being sung in a little voice. I turned and I saw a small boy. He was fair and very bright. I rushed to him and hugged him, and asked him who he is? And He replied I am Baba. I woke up shortly after that. That’s how Baba convinced me that He is already with me, what else I have to fear and worry?

Another day, when I was reading a blog, I came across how many Hindus were converted to other religions for many reasons. Anyway, the author gave an example, how Baba dislikes people who convert their religion which is like their Father. Who can change our Father? The author also gave example how he behaved when he asked to convert. He just kept quiet, letting them to talk about their religion. He could have shared about Sai’s miracle but does our Sadguru likes us to boast about Him? So he kept quiet. Not till 2 days later, I understood why I read the blog. I encountered the similar experience, when a big group of my Christian friends visited me and tried to convince me to accept Christ. I behaved exactly like the way the author behaved when he encountered such situation. I listened to them and I talked nothing great about Sai. I understood that the blog was Baba’s prophecy and his Upadesh for me. Few days later, I was crying in front of Baba, asking Him to send a friend for me share my sad feelings.  Suddenly, my ex-roomate came to visit me, she is a Christian but she is very kind. I asked her how did she want to visit me, she herself was not sure. She said that she felt like Jesus asked her to visit me. I was amazed! I asked to Sadguru Sai and Jesus responded? That was how Baba confirmed me that He is one with Jesus. I even told my ex-roomate about this and she was speechless.

Now I fully believe in Baba. I feel He talks to me in silence. As we all know, Sai chooses His devotees. We all must be lucky to be under such a wonderful and merciful Sadguru. He guides us and suffers for us. There was sometimes I made mistakes, I felt Sai’s anger. The next time, when I need help the most, when others were not available, I felt Sai’s love. I am still having a lot of problems. I am short of money to pay my fees. Being the eldest, being a girl, I am struggling to complete my studies and deal my family’s financial problem. Sai is my strength and I believe Sai will provide, Sai Ram! BABA means father. Father Sai came into my life after my father passed away. My intention is to serve Him my whole life. If I’m lucky I hope Baba will choose me to bring Baba into more devotees heart.

I’m sorry if my contents hurt anybody. I have no such intention. Being Baba’s believer, I don’t look down at any religion.  In a chapter, Baba allowed His devotees to serve Him in their own way and did not like other people interfering in this. Sabka Malik Ek, God is One. See Him in any form, as long as you are being truthful to Him. My Guru is my God. Jaya Sai Ram.

Namaskaram at Sai’s Holy feet.
Sincerely feeling very grateful to share this on a Thurday!
Revathy

Ok Friends here is my story. I came to know about Sai Baba through my husband whose family belives in Baba. I live in a foreign country and had some visa issues. My roommate was worshipping Sai baba with too much devotion. I started coming close to him and got my visa , but still I did not had that much faith.
Since childhood I had some feminine problems and my parents were worried of getting me married. But by HIS grace, as if it was written for me I got a beautiful life partner, very understanding loving and caring. All these years my parents were worried of me having a child. Bec . doctors have told me that it will be difficult for me to have kids without help.Time passed. I went to shirdi with my husband, I also had the deep pain and scare in my heart for having kids. I was in Smadhi Madhir, when my heart wept and i could not control my emotions and I started weeping in front of Sai Baba. That time I was still not that close to Baba, I started reading Sai Satcharitra, started sai 9 thursday fast. watched Sai Baba movies and serial and came very close to Baba. I started to know a lot about Baba. Me and my husband tried for pregnancy, when i had the miscarriage. Still I prayed to Baba and became pregnant again by HIS grace. I drink his udi daily and also apply it on my stomach . Friends I had read it somewhere "Faith can move mountains".  I used to look at my mom's innocent face who was so worried for my future. I prayed a lot to Baba and said that give this daughter this much strength of life , that she wipes her parents tears. This was my faith . I knew that fakir would come and protect me and my baby. My faith was not weak. I said "Baba u r my doctor. My Sai. I know with ur grace I will give birth to a child and this will happen. Everything is going fine in my pregnancy and trust me my friends , its bec. of HIS miracle that a life is breating inside me now. I know this was possible only bec. of Baba's grace. He has come and will come for my rescue. Friends, I will write another psot when my baby will be born. Just have faith in HIM. No matter from where, voh fakir tumhare madad ke liye aayega.  Sai Nath ki Jai.

Hi saishibpur

My eyes are filled with tears...... such a wonderful experience you have. Great that you have such a faith on baba, Iam also waiting that when baba will bless me with a child, but last month when i was so confidently waiting for a good news but it turned to be untruth, I felt so depressed. I was normal from outside but only baba knows what was going on inside me. But reading your experience my faith on baba has become 100 times more. Thank you so much. And all the very best, enjoy your pregnancy and let us know the good news. Take care.

Actually it was my mum who got to know about Sai Baba. She used to go to Adhiparasakthi Amma Temple every Friday. As there many other people also coming, they talk with each other for some time. Like this their friendship grew well. One fine day she visited one of temple friends's house and the friend was telling how he son got a placement in the London University to do her degree. It was all by Sai Bab grace. She and her son conducted the 9 week Sai Vrat pooja and the son got the university entrance and also her leg pain vanished. She is the one who contributed the Sai Vrat book to my mum and we also conducted the pooja.

Very Very B'ful experiences indeed!!

Mine is slightly different..

Worst to worst phase of my life was going..I has question marks and agony all over my face.. simple CLUELESS!! NO PEACE OF MIND I HAD,NOT EVEN 1 PERCENT OF PEACE!

Then, suddenly I started to see Sai all over..whenever I went outside, I used to see Sai's posters, his photos and names on many vehicles, when other's cellphones used to ring , Sai ringtone tuned out.. once my mom asked me to accompany her to a realtive's home to which I readily agreed and I was shocked since I don't like going to any relative's home.. when I went there, I saw Sai Sandhya was being performed in that society.. I was taken aback!!

At first I thought all this is normal, but later I realized that Sai himself is giving these signals to me.
Then, I got back in touch with a friend of mine who is a real devotee of Sai.

While watching TV, I came across his serial on star plus. I started to watch it and every word he uttered,seemed was for me!!
After watching that serial, I came to know who he is and OMG, HOW MUCH B'FUL HIS HEART IS!!
I went crazy for him..'m his fan now!! I respect him a lot!!

I became his real devotee..following all his teachings.. he showed me the real faces of all the people whom I was crying for.. I was so much shocked n thunderstruck n full of pain that I just wanted to end my life..I was simply a joke for all of them n a prey those hunters wanted to hunt down!! I has trusted all those people blindly for the fake tears they wept in front of me, I respected those people so much for all the lies their parents n friends had spoken to me..


'm still in BIG problems today..but I know Sai 'll solve them soon..he's a real friend to me..I ONLY trust him..Even today he keeps giving me signals showing he's guarding me n my family everywhere..

SAI BLESS ALL!:)

A miracle happend in my life and that too on this Thursday .i had to pass two roti's of baba to two people .i previously told that till Wednesday night i didn't get the second person.On Thursday morning i was very eager and little tensed to open the box ,when i open the box i was surprised to see the second roti was big and thick.i was so happy and was telling it to my mom on phone,next moment i heard a knock at my door.She was a new neighbour who i had just met two days before. I showed her the roti she said she was also a sai devotee and she readily took the second roti.It was like sai has sent her to share his blessings with her.i was very happy yesterday .  I wish his blessings shud go to all his devotee's.
Another incident that happend to my mom 15 yrs back,My father was hospitalised and we were very small children,My mother was sitting beside my father's bed the whole night telling Ohm sai sree sai jai jai sai,She saw sai baba coming frm through the window very hurriedly and kept vibuthi in my father's forehead and then vanished,suddenly my father who was sleeping got up and asked my mother whether she touched him .My mother saw bright vibuthi on my father's forehead and showed that to him by taking him to the near mirror ,Next day she got the  shiridhi vibuthi from a sai devotee.

dear sai,

I was a person who never believed in god before 8 years and had never new how to do prayers ,But once all my friends went to sabrimala I just joint them for the first  time  when I reached sabrimala I really understood how foolish  I was to waste all the years without giving regards to the creator the almighty.
Subsequently I started visiting the Sabrarimala every year with fasting for 48 days .Miracles started from then I am a normal man who know very less on mantras but I don't know how I am able to chant mantras during my prayers now . Once the same group took me to shiridi for the first  time I was able to get the Kakad artri the first time it self .From them Saibaba has become a part of my life . I never do any thing without his permission and guidance .I have been telling all my friends Baba is within us he knows what is good for us and bad for us we need to see him with true faith not just keep asking for favors.

Hello my fellow devotees...I just found Baba...actually I think Baba found me. He heard my cry of help and came to me. My heart was originally depressed and saddened by some personal problems and death was not far from my mind but Baba knew and he in his grace and kind-heart, lifted me. He came in my dream as a form of a friend to warn me against doing something that was a most probably the cause of the bad relationship problems I have been having. Now, I surrender myself to Sai Baba wholeheartedly. Praise to our kind-hearted Sai Sadguru. Om Sai Ram.

Om Sairam

Thanks for such a beautiful topic you started to share our first experience with Sai baba.

It was 4 years back in 2008, during my college timing I was very depressed due to some goings in my life, and head was aching like hell. A friend of mine named Babita was a great of Sai baba, she told me not to think much, n pray to say baba, told me few stories about Sai baba. And a miracle which she saw at her own home... in their puja room, they had kept baba's idol , one day they saw baba's footsteps on their puja room's floor..

then she gave me baba gz udhi and told me its importance. I applied it right then on my forehead, and my headache was gone.. By then I kept baba's fast,, and became baba gz devotee..
By his grace I got married with my love,,, baba g are impossible-possible... love u baba

please be with me always, I need you every single minute-second of my life,, baba bless all..

You are my everything baba,,

love u
bless all

Om Sai Ram

Very Nice topic indeed. In my case Sai Knew me first before i could know and realise Him. My sis.in.law gifted me a SSC in March last year; till then i did not know Sai though He is There just behind my house in Hyderabad. I used to go to the mandir rarely. Then last year when i got SSC i started reading it immediately... it was English version and i kept reading it everyday a Chapter though. I have immense faith and have felt presence of my dear Lord Jesus since 1995 and i knew a little what is Faith actually by attending Prayers. Reading through Sai's Charitam i can see the love of GOD and Sai starting pulling me to Him. I started with attending Thursday Night arti's and now i am trying to attend 2 artis minimum everyday... He is Omnipresent and Kind and Strengthens us somehow even in crisis.... Pray that we should keep Loving Him more and more in any situation, and that seek His Strength to live with His Presence in patience.

Sai Saranam

i am very Happy to share how I become sai devotee
I had my neighbour Mrs padmavathi whom I use to call Akka . I went to  their home and I was just chatting with their family.  Suddenly akka asked me why I am looking so dull today then I explained her nightt I had severe asthma and I suffered a lot .  Then she gave me Baba's Vibuthi and she told me to read sai chartitra One week after wards I have to send 11 rupees to Shirdi. I did the same way as Akka explained . So from that day on wards I became devotee of sai Baba.

It's wonderful to read how various devotees met Sai for the first time.  Here is my encounter.  My parents are orthodox and always worship all Gods and do puja/abhishekam etc every day.  When we were young, they had pics of Shiva, Vishnu, Lakshminarasimha, Balaji etc, no gods were eliminated in our puja room, including Sathya Sai of Puttaparthi and Shirdi Sai of course.  I had seen the Shirdi Sai pic as a young girl, my parents had even visited Shirdi at some point but I knew nothing about Shirdi Sai.  After I grew up and got married etc, I also set up a puja room and some time in 1986 when I visited India, I bought a picture of Shirdi Sai in Mantralayam.  I had kept that in my puja room but never paid special attention to it.  Much later in 2001, I was faced with a major health scare totally unexpectedly, despite being very healthy all my life.  I was praying in my puja room every day and one Friday night, all of a sudden, I saw that Sai photo where he is standing in a red robe and showing his blessing right hand and I quietly said "Oh Sai, I am praying to all the Gods but I know absolutely no prayer for you.  All I can do is pranam" and I did that and went to bed.  Next day (Saturday), I picked up mail and I saw an envelope from Sai temple in Pittsburgh.  We had visited that temple when my in-laws had come that year and we had taken them to Balaji temple in Pittsburgh. Since Sai temple was also not far from there, we had visited but I don't remember much about that visit.  When I saw the envelope in the mail, I opened and it was the newsletter.  But the miracle was that the last page of the newsletter had 108 Sai Namavali!  I still get chills thinking about it since just the night before, I had said to Sai that I knew no prayers specific for Sai and here I had this in my hand.  I started chanting it.  A few years later, I had the good fortune of visiting Shirdi for the first time ever (my only visit so far unfortunately) and bought Sai Satcharita and it is my favorite holy book.  I didn't want the original Sai Namavali paper to tear as it was getting old after being handled with my hands for more than 10 yrs now.  So I got it laminated (that was Baba's idea too as I didn't know how to protect that paper at first and I feel it's safe now).  Around the same time as Sai coming into my life, somehow my husband was also attracted to Sai all of a sudden, this despite my husband not being the religious type.  Now we both are Sai devotees and our son also believes/prays to Sai.  I introduce "Sai" into many of the other prayers.  I feel now that despite all the pics of all gods in my puja room, I am always fixated on Sai photos and he is my only God.  He responds to us like no other.  He communicates with us like no other, I feel like he is really a person right next to me.  I am so grateful to Sai forever for allowing us to be his devotees, for calling us to his darbar and always being there with us.  Since we met Sai, I have had countless miracles/experiences and it's a reminder that Sai is always with us whenever, wherever we think of him.  May he always protect us with his blessings and give us health and happiness.  I wish the same for all devotees.  Jai Sairam!

SaiRam devotee,

Baba blessings. It is very nice to read your Sai experience and how you got into Sai's fold. Even I have been to Pittsburgh Saibaba madir and now it is so big and wonderful to spend time in the temple.
Baba  bless you in everyway.
JaiSaiRam

OM SAI RAM!

The story of how Babaji pulled me to Him is probably a little different from most of my fellow devotees here in that I am a Caucasian American...    I started following the Vaishnava path about 2 years ago and LOVE Lord Vishnu and all of His forms especially Lord Krishna and Lord Nrshimhadeva!! 

Over the years I had seen pictures of Sai Baba and never really knew who he was, I assumed he was a Guru or Saint but really nothing more did I know until about 3months ago when I lost my job and I stumbled onto a website about Him...  The picture of Him looked like he was looking and smiling right at ME!!   At that moment was the first time I performed Sai Naam Jaapa and I have been His devotee ever since......

I LOVE MERA SATGURU!!!

I used to go to sai baba temple every Thursday as a child, but I never really knew about him that much. My brother would go, and I would go with him. When I was in undergrad, I came to know about sai baba through a few friends. They gave me sat charita, took me to sai temples and explained how sai is a constant presence in their life.

In 1997, I attended a  yoga program. When I started practicing it at home, I started feeling the need to have a guru. I had read about Kanchi Paramacharya, Shirdi Saibaba and Ragavendrar and I had high respect for them. I had darshan of Kanchi Paramacharya many times in Kanchipuram. Whenever I saw a picture of Shirdi Sai, I felt that he resembled Kanchi Paramacharya. I felt like following Shirdi Sai and hence I started worshipping him since then.

See how different these experiences  are , from each other.... its great!!!!
Like everyone here my story is also very unique....
Im trying to explain in least words;
I was a stupid sansaari,now im the choosen one.....
I respected sai baba but didn't love him much...
He came to me
He loved me
Still i didn't value it
Then he show me
How compassionate he is
How much omnipotent he is
Miracles began to happen
Now i don't need anyone
I'm satisfied with the love he gives me
Meantime i want it more
I'm satisfied with the care he takes
But i want it more and more....
..now im only waiting for the liberation from this mortal piece of panchbhoot....
Because he's the only one whose love i want to loot...
 ;D
Saijikanaradmuni will keep loving you oh sai
You may get tired but i won't stop praising your limitless love as  you're mine, only mine
 ....
