One more incident of aunty
One day aunty did Baba pooja and thought she should get baba's blessings in some way like sadhu coming for biksha,or she getting some picture of baba..etc,but its already evening,she didn't find any thing which showed her she was blessed,then in the evening, her door bell rang and she saw her friend standing and told her LOOK WHO IS HERE TO BLESS U, and to her suprise her friend removed a big baba idol from a cover and showed her,this anty was suprised and asked why she kept baba in the cover,her friend told somehow she felt she should show baba to her today so brought baba in cover"
This way baba blessed aunty and always showed her he is right next to her when ever she needed.

One day aunty went to Dilsuknagar baba temple in HYD and adoring baba seeing in some beautifull dress ,while she was seeing baba like this,one marwadi couple came with basket full of beautifull flowers and were spreading them on baba's feet,then in her mind she thought baba if i get enough money to look after family i will place these type of beautifull flowers on u'r feet,after few days baba showed mercy on her and she got some amount of money and she rememberd her wish to offer flowers so she gave silver bowl as a gift to baba and placed beautifull flowers on baba's feet to show her gratitude.

she shared one more incident,temple poojari in Dilsukhnagar Hyderabad was trying for visa to come to US,but he failed 2 times,he got angry on baba and told aunty he is not praying him anymore,as baba is not helping him,then aunty tried to cheer him up and told he will sure get visa if baba bless.then next day she saw this poojari doing pooja as usual then aunty asked "i hope u and baba re friends again" poojari smiled and told why should i fear iam sure baba takes care,by his blessing he got visa next time when he applied for,and she told he works in NY baba temple,and u know friends infact i met him twice when i was in NY and visited baba temple there.I see baba always help devotees who completly trust him and leave their worries and sorrows to his holy feet.
May this almighty baba always bless and help his devotees.

For the past five years my husband has been abusing me and treating me cheaply and insulting me. It is hard to even imagine all the suffering that I had gone through. I have even thought of ending my life so many times. Saibaba's grace on me started six months back when I first started to truly believe in Him after a friend of mine gave the "Sai Satcharithra" book to me from Shirdi, seeing my suffering she also gave me a picture of Sai Ram. From that time my life has changed. My husband's attitude towards me has slowly changed for the better. It is true that Sai Ram protects his devotees from front, back and sides. Now I live to pray to Sai Ram. He answers all our prayers immediately and is so gracious that it is so wonderful to live in His grace. In my life Sai lives with me, speaks with me, smiles and not a minute will pass without thinking about Him. Hope all people realize the love and grace of Sai Ram. The purpose of their birth will only then be fulfilled. Bow to Shri Sai, peace be to all.

I have more than couple instances, which I would like to share. I was expecting my EAD and I had to get it before the 18th of December but I was late in sending all my documents and further things got delayed. I prayed to Sainath that I would read Satcharita in less than a week so than I can get things going smoothly. But again I was not able to start the seven-day saptha of reading. But just after I prayed, I received my EAD in the same week. I did do my seven-day Saptha in January of the following year. I was done with my previous job and was looking for a new one for over a month. I was getting little anxious, then I prayed to Sainath to help me find one and I shall share this experience with other Sai devotees through Sai Vichaar. And guess what, the obvious happened, I got a job in less than ten days. This happened four months ago, though I remembered, I somehow could not get to write but today I am more than glad that by Sai's grace, I am able share my experience. My mother was sick a while ago, though nothing grave, she had developed severe ankle pain, which refrained her from doing her routine mundane stuff. But after she started to take Sai's udi with water, she gradually improved plus she did undergo a minor operation. But today by Sai's grace she is doing fine and back to her normal days. My friend was close to completing thesis and struggling, time being an issue factor. But my friend had also prayed to do seven day Saptha of Satcharita and I also prayed that I shall share this experience and hence he completed thesis successfully. I ask Sai to bless my friend in all the endeavors

I would like to share a recent experience in which Baba has cured my daughter very fast. Presently we live in USA. We (me, my husband and our two daughters, elder one 2 years and younger one 8 months old) went to India to attend my brother's wedding. As soon as we landed in India the same month my elder daughter was suffering from fever, vomiting and loose motions. The problem was not subsiding even though we were using the medicines prescribed by docter. Docter told us it is Gastroenteritis and it will be better to admit her in hospital. She was in the hospital for 24 hours. Then the younger one had the same problem loose motions, vomitings she was dehydrated. She was only 8 months old. They put her on I.V. We were so scared, she was in hospital for 2 days and it was scary and stressful experience. By the grace of Baba everything was normal. Then after 3 months again my elder one all of a sudden was suffering from vomiting and loose motions. I tried to give her medicine to stop the vomiting but it didn't worked. I was so scared I prayed to Baba to cure my daughter, and I gave her Udi mixed with water. I told Baba if my daughter is OK by morning I will post my experience in this sight. By the grace of Baba she was alright by morning, vomiting had completely stopped. Doctor prescribed some medicine over the phone. I didn't even have to go to hospital. We should learn to put our faith in Baba and He will do the rest.

I had heard of Saint Baba but never knew anything more till my brother who was working in Mumbai gifted me a rare photograph of Baba. I had placed the same in our pooja room. From then I had the urge to visit Shirdi but somehow couldn't make it. It was only 6 months before when I joined my new job I met my colleague who was an ardent devotee of Baba. I visited Shirdi along with her and also could buy a copy of Satcharitha. Things started changing drastically in my life after that. I am more confident and I am able to take my work pressure much better because for every obstacle that comes my way Baba gives clear hints as to how to solve it. Recently I had severe viral fever and doctor diagnosed it as chikun guniya. I had temp of 104 and all my joints were swollen. He told me that it will take a long time to recover. I knew many who were not recovered completely even after 3-4 months and I was really disappointed. I went home to take rest and there I consulted a physician who asked to go for a thorough check up. By Baba's grace I was told that the earlier doctor has diagnosed wrongly as chikun guniya and it was just an acute viral fever which will subside if I take rest for a week or so. By Baba's grace I was complexly cured and now I am back to work.

This was a unique experience, which took place on April 17th 2008. I along with my wife had gone to attend a marriage reception. As it is my habit to carry a pen having Sai Baba's photo in my shirt pocket. That day also, I was carrying a pen having Baba's photo. When my wife and me went to the dice to give blessings to the newly wed couple, the bride noticed that a pen was hanging from the saree of my wife. When this was told to her she was quite surprised as there was no point of her carrying the pen and that too hanging from the saree. I suddenly noticed that, that was my pen, which I had kept in my pocket. I was surprised to see and was unable to understand how the pen had gone to my wife. My wife in turn gave that pen to the bride, as Baba's blessing to her. Now the important thing happened. The bride inform my wife that as she was a staunch believer of Baba she had asked Him to come and bless her on the occasion of her marriage and somehow Baba had kept His appointment with her, in the shape of a photo coming with a pen. May Sai Baba bless all.

I am been a devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba since many many years and on innumerable occasion I could feel his hands blessing me in tiding over many of the difficulties that I had to face in my life. Recently, I had been asked to deliver a project within a very short time requiring approvals from a number of higher levels of officials. There were many obstacles at every step. I felt helpless at every stage and many a time I felt that I am going to fail to meet the target date. I prayed one day to Sai Baba fervently and sought his blessings to help me tide over the difficulties and make the passage smooth. I also promised him that I would write my experience in Sai Vichar if the obstacles were removed. While the task is still incomplete but there has been change since I prayed and things are moving much faster than before. With this momentum I am sure Sai will help me in meeting the target date. I sincerely wish to use this forum to convey my heartfelt gratitude to him. Om Sai Ram.

Padmavathi
I have had countless miracles blessed by lord Sai in my life. Don't know which one to share with devotees. The latest ones are approval of my green card, after a long and tedious journey of almost 6 years Sai blessed me and my husband with the green card. By Sai's grace my pregnancy is going smoothly and now I am 32 weeks pregnant. My husband's psychological mood swings and aggressiveness are in control and he is taking his medicine regularly now. Looking back, just one year ago my life was under so much distress, we were on the verge of divorce - but the strong belief on Sadguru Sai only helped me to come out of all these problems. My husband stopped raising his hand on me for no reason; I am not sitting in the corner of my house anymore after a long and exhausting day of office work and housework. Now I can sit with him and talk. Without Sai I know for sure, all these things should not have happened in my life. I am incredibly thankful to Shri Sai. Please be with me Sai for the rest of the pregnancy and help me to deliver the baby safely. I request all Sai devotees to keep Shradda and Saburi and Lord Sai only knows what is best for us and Shri Sai never let us down. Humble pranams on your lotus feet Sai, Bow to Shri Sai - Peace to all!

My brother was trying to get admission for his Master's degree in USA. Almost all the Universities declined. Finally he was waiting for response from two Universities, they were also taking a long time. I prayed to Baba that if he thinks it is good for my brother to come here and study, He will surely get him the admission. And by Baba's grace on Thursday, he got the news from both the Universities that he got the admission. He applied for his Visa, but it got rejected. Then again all of us in the family were worried. My brother re-applied for a visa. We prayed to Sai Baba for the sanction. He had his interview on a Thursday, and finally got the visa the same day. It is all Baba's grace and blessings. My brother is now studing in the United States.

Sai devotee
I was angry with my Baba since He rejected my brother?s visa, I had stopped praying Him. He gave such a experience in my life that I became a firm devotee of Him. In a unknown country my mother and I faced such a problem which is unbelievable. My mother was leaving to India in a day so we were doing our last minute shopping. I met a friend in the indoor mall and my mother was walking and went outside the store, those items were not paid and she was out with the cart. The lady there was so rude and she said my mother did shop lifting, I said we are sorry it was a mistake. She said that since none of the items were paid it is a retail theft and the police/cops charged us for this. Me and my mom who are Baba's devotees cried so much for the thing happened. The charges against me would have affected my job and residency. We were so scared and cried in front of Baba and thought everything is ruined. With Baba?s grace the attorney my husband hired was such a wonderful person as if he was sent by Baba, after hearing the whole thing he talked with the State attorney and explained my situation. With Baba?s grace the charges were changed to a minor. Then still I had a fear that this will be in my records which may affect my job. I had a court date after a month, we pleaded in front of Baba, but we were not sure what was going to happen were very scared. For my mom, they did not charge any fine or anything, they asked to pay the court fees for me and they charged me fine and after one year it won't be in my records. Usually they don?t reduce the charges like they did for me but it?s a miracle. It is hard to put in words the everyday miracles I saw from my ?Sai? during this phase. I started reading Sai Satcharita seven times.

I had 2 dreams, one in which a very old lady (face not seen only I could see is the feet) asking for a chadhar if this problem is solved. I never use a chadhar word. Then in another dream Baba says I need to solve your 3 problems, two I will do but the third is difficult but I will do it. To the wonder it was my job, citizenship and being in the record forever. Dear devotees I am not able to put all the experience in detail I went through, but all I can say is in every step Baba is there protecting His children. I learned such a lesson in my life, which is very hard to express. Please surrender yourself to Baba, he will do wonders of wonders. Believe and have faith rest is up to our Sai Baba. He is still alive and He is around us all the time, it is a 'True Fact'.

Thankyou Saibaba for helping us. I had trouble all through my pregnancy and we were worried how the delivery would be. But we kept praying Baba for safe pregnancy and delivery. As prayed, the delivery was normal and we have been blessed with a healthy baby. Thank you Sainatha for being with us and helping us in every stage of this life changing event. As promised we are publishing Your blessings on us in Sai Vichaar newsletter. Sai, please continue showering Your blessings on us ever. Always under your feet. We apologize for the delay in writing this note.

I was not a staunch devotee of Baba, until my cousin got me the book "Sree Sai Leelamrutham through mail from www.saibaba.org website in January 2005. At that time we were in terrible situation, for the past three years without having a good job.. I started reading the book on Thursday January 13th, without any desire in mind, to complete within three weeks. Then things started to change in my life. I have been experiencing His presence since then. Before completing the parayana, my husband got another job. Then after completion of three weeks parayana, I kept on reading Saileelamrutham in 3 days parayana, like this I completed 21 times parayana and 5 times Sai Satcharitra parayana by May 2005. During this time I felt so many good experiences for me and for my children also without praying for them. By end of June, my husband got a very good project in a big IT company. Only with Sai's grace, we came out of such a terrible situation. By the end of the year I looked back in my life and realised that all of my problems had been solved. I don't have enough words to thank Baba for making my life from such a miserable and terrible status to wonderful and comfortable status. I thought I will post my experiences in Sai Vichaar if my husband gets the project without any delay. In September 2006 my husband's project was over and without any delay, he got another project with Sai's grace. Now I am also one of the strong believers of Sai. What my strong feeling is," When Sai is there with you, nothing in this world is impossible to you. If you take two steps towards Sai, He will take ten steps towards you". I ask everyone to believe in Sai Baba and read Satcharitra repeatedly, you can definitely get His grace and Sai will give you more than what you ask him. I love You, Sai Deva!!!

Baba has always been gracious with His blessings to His devotees. In times of trouble I always look up to Him and He is kind enough to answer my prayers. From small matters to big ones I don't know how He hears everything. One such incident was when I had almost missed a flight. Check-in time was over and I was still in auto where as my other friend had already reached the airport. There was no way I could reach there on time. I prayed to Baba. Very surprisingly my friend who had reached the airport had already called some airline staff and had my check-in done so I checked in just minutes before the flight took off. By such small incidences He restores the faith of His devotees in Him. I do act stupid and foolish sometimes, please forgive me and help me forever.

A Devotee's Experience

I want to share my recent experience on how Sai will teach and set straight his devotees. I was a smoker for the last ten years. I unsuccessfully tried many times to quit. Also, I was a rash/careless driver. My wife always requested me to drive carefully and quit smoking. I really tried couple of times to quit and couldn't hold myself for more than a week. I even promised Sai that I would quit smoking and was never able to keep the promise. I realized it is impossible to quit because of the work pressure and related issues.

One day as part of my regular routine, on my way to work, I was taking my child to day-care center. It was raining and foggy. Before I realized what was happening my SUV was skidding out of control and within a fraction of time, I was over the median and towards the opposite traffic. I hit a vehicle (head-on collision) coming from the opposite side. Both the vehicles were in a very bad shape. I immediately looked back at my child (1 Year old) to see how she is and she was crying but looked fine. The only thing I uttered was the word "Sai". I then picked my daughter from the car seat and got down the vehicle to ask the other passenger on how she was doing. She said she had some pain in the foot and then next the emergency vehicle came and took her to the hospital and I thought she would be ok. After few days my insurance lawyer called me to give me a heads up that I will be getting a court notice for personal damages, I have incurred to her due to the accident. After a couple of months, I was asked to appear for a deposition and other process of the court and a court date for the case had been set. All the time and all through these processes, I was kind of depressed and was counting on Sai that He will take care of everything.

One day it occurred to me that because of the smoking habit, all these bad things were happening to me and hence I decided to quit. Miraculously I was able to stop smoking from that day onwards. It has been 9 months since I quit. Last week I got a call from the lawyer saying that the other party settled the case out of court within the insurance limit and to my surprise their medical expenses were the same as my insurance limits. They weren't asking anything for personal pain. I strongly believe all this was because of Sai. I now think that all this happened because He wanted to teach me a lesson on how important life was and how careful I have to be and also I have a wife and kids who are dependant on me. Thank you Baba for everything.

I wanted to share my recent two experiences. I graduated with a slightly different major than I wanted to have my career in. My husband has a very steady job in a small town and I was looking at only 4 positions like mine with at least 5 or more years experience with in 60 mile distance. So I had a very difficult time in getting a job with no experience and slightly different major. I called all the potential employers and told them I am willing to volunteer for a year so that I could get some experience. Even for free nobody was willing to take me. At first it was okay, as I had just graduated. After 3-4 months I was getting depressed and frustrated about being at home. I took a vow to finish Satcharita in 1999 and never did it. So on one Thursday I just sat before baba praying and crying and read the whole book. I decided to call everybody in our state. On that immediate Monday I called a guy around 11.00 am and asked him if I could come and work with him three days a week for free. I didn't know that he was the Vice President of a chain of offices. He said he would give me a call in a day or two. Just 30 minutes after I called him, one of the physicist in another center said he was quitting. The Vice President called me around 1.30 pm on the same day and asked if I could attend the interview the next day. I was shocked and attended the interview the next day and was offered the job with 3 months probation. That was a miracle I was praying for. But that job needed somebody with experience. So I had to work everyday from 4.30 am to 7-8 pm. I was totally deprived of sleep.

One day on my way to work I fell asleep driving, went off the country road with 5 feet ditches on either side. I was cruising at 75 miles and without hitting the breaks I tried to jerk it back at the same speed and lost control, and the vehicle jumped into the median and went to the opposite side of the ditch. Just before the airbags were deployed I saw an electricity pole. I thought to myself that's it. But my engine died just one feet before the pole and I walked out of the vehicle totally unhurt. It was a very major accident and my SUV was totaled. I feel Baba was the who saved me and guided me in the difficult times of my job. Now I successfully finished my probation. Thank you Baba for everything.

Seema Verma (148/H-19, Sector 7, Rohini, New Delhi - 110 085.) :-

All of us in our family are staunch devotees of Baba. Over the years there have been umpteen incidents of Baba’s grace; but I would like to particularly share one my mother experienced recently. I truly appreciate and earnestly thank my mother for her sincere devotion to Baba by following, what He preacehd. We all are benefitted by her prayers.

My mother regularly visits the Sai Baba temple in Noida twice daily. It was November 25th, 2004, the Sthapana Divas of Baba’s statue. The festivities of the day began with a morning Snan with milk. My mother too wanted to offer a packet of milk for the occasion. Hence she requested our domestic help (who brings the milk everyday) to bring the milk a little early, so that she could reach the temple in time. Since the domestic help did not bring the milk on time, my mother left for the temple around 6.30 a.m., thinking she would be late if she waited any longer.

While walking, she was continuously praying to Baba, that her wish of offering milk be fulfilled. As she neared the temple, a car stopped beside her and a lady with a milk packet in her hand asked my mother to offer it to Sai Baba.

The car then sped off. My mother was too stunned to react. Her eyes were filled with tears. How Baba had fulfilled her wish ! How did that lady know that my mother was going to the Sai Baba temple ?

Baba once again proved that he who loves Him whole-heartedly gets response from Him at any time at any place. He is always by our side and will take any form to appear before the devout Bhakta and gratify him/her. ------------------Sai leela----------

G. Venu K. Gopal (6-119, Naidu Quarters, Gopalapatnam, Vishakhapatnam - 530 027, Andhra Pradesh.) :-

Once, while returning home, my wallet fell down in the bus. I was oblivious of it. An hour after I reached home I looked for my wallet in the trouser pocket; but it was not there. I searched everywhere; but could not find it. There were about Rs. 50/- and some visiting cards in the wallet, which were not significant. The only thing which was important to me was my two-wheeler driving licence, which I kept in my wallet.

I was very depressed and did not tell anyone at home, thinking that my parents would scold me for the next two-three days. So, I kept the matter to myself and did not speak to anyone. That evening I went to the temple as I thought only He could save me from all fears and calamities. I told this matter to the ONLY one Whom I trusted the most, my Guru, Sai Baba. I spoke to Him from my heart and asked Him to help and save me in this matter.

For two days there was no reply from Him. I felt depressed and went to my uncle’s house to continue with my job as a sales marketing executive. On the third day, I got a call from my mother, inquiring, whether I had lost my wallet. I said, ‘‘Yes’’. It seems a student from a nearby college had returned the wallet. I was unaware that I had kept my address and telephone number in the wallet. To my surprise, nothing was missing from it. Not even a single rupee, neither the cards, nor the licence.

I was very thankful to the student who honestly returned my wallet. He had personally come to my house to return it. He asked my mother to check the contents of the wallet to see if anything was missing. It was a complete shock to my mother who knew nothing about the missing wallet.

This incident happened in 2001.

Another incident took place in February 2006. In the early hours of the 8th of February, around 3 a.m., I was working in a call centre and had a class in the morning. It was a training session. Just before the break, I had kept my mobile in the silent mode. Since most of my friends worked in call centres, they usually gave me missed calls. I wanted to check if I had received any. Suddenly, to my surprise, I could not move my eyes from my mobile. What I saw was a small faded picture of Sai (1/4 size of wall paper). It flashed on my mobile for 2-3 minutes continuously. I felt very happy at that moment and throughout the day as well.

I wanted to share this experience with my friends; but thought, they wouldn’t believe it and so, kept it to myself. I did not utter a word to anyone in the class-room; but I want to share this with you, dear readers of Shri Sai Leela.                                 

[fatima]

 Once upon a time a devotee’s eyes were swollen and were like red balls. Both pupils were blood-red and no vaid was available in Shirdi. The simple and pious devotees showed his eyes to Baba. Immediately, Baba got the marking-nut ‘beeba’ pounded and made into balls. Under the circumstances some may have put surma (powdered pearl); some may have put wet pieces of cloth dipped in cow’s milk; others may have kept cool camphor cakes on the eyes or some would have used collyrium. But, Baba’s remedy was absolutely different. He picked up each ‘beeba’ ball in his own hands and pressed as much as possible one in each eye and then tied a cloth around them. The next day, the cloth tied around the eyes was removed and the eyes were washed with cold water poured in a steady stream. All the swelling had disappeared and the pupils were clear. Although a delicate organ like the eye was treated by ‘beeba’, there was no burning and the disease was cured. Such are the countless experiences.
- Shri Sai Satcharita, Chapter 7, Ovi 47-52

          When I remember the day of 22nd January 1987, I afflict with fear. If Baba did not favour, I would have to live in the darkened world.

          As usual I was busy with the typing-work. My eyes were turning from the script to the paper on the typewriter..... and within few minutes my right eye started paining. I thought insertion of some minor foreign body in the eye and neglected. But, as the time passed on, the pain increased. Due to this pain, I lost my concentration and attention. Two more days passed. The pain increased day by day. I felt the seriousness and thought to consult the doctor. Thus, I visited the doctor on 25th January. Doctor gave me tablets and medicament, which proved useless. Not the less from that day, I was more harassed by constant headache and frequent vomiting. I rushed to the doctor. “The pains may continue for eight days and then you will feel better,” the doctor assured me. I felt that everything would be all right as the doctor told, and returned home. From 26th January onward my ill-fate started. On that day I lost the sight of my right eye. On very next day, the sight of the left eye also became less. Subsequently I ran to the doctor. He then felt something serious. He advised me to go to Pune and consult the doctor in Ruby Hall Clinic or Sasoon. On 28th, I went to Sasoon. The doctors there asked me the history. I explained in detail. Various tests were done and injections and tablets were tried. The eye specialist examined me thoroughly. My friend Dr. Avinash Nagpure (He was studying M.B.B.S. last year) advised me to bear the trouble. At that time he was the only support for me. “It is improbable to regain the sight in such cases,” the doctor whispered. I heard his words and lost my all the inner strength. I was terribly frightened, seeing blind future with my blind eyes. At the same time I heard the doctor saying, “By the mercy of God the sight may be regained”. It gave me light of hope. I have faith in Baba, Baba’s teaching of ‘Shraddha’ and ‘Saburi’. I regained the strength with this thought.

          Specially to note, when I started for Pune on 28th morning, went to Baba’s Samadhi temple and prayed Baba, “I am going to Pune with my half eye instead of two..... Please bring me here with both the eyes or finish my life there only”. Praying like this I started applying Udi to the eyes everyday. At that time my father, mother, brothers, sisters, Dr. Nagpure, Mr. Ratilalji Lodha, Mr. Sadashiv Gorade and Mr. Kailas Gaikwad gave me the courage. I am grateful to them.

          From the first Thursday of February I could see little with my left eye. My mind and eyes flourished like a flower. There was progress in the sight and my happiness had no bounds. Next Thursday I could see clearly with my both eyes. I could see my beloveds and every happening around me ! I could see every thing. My sight reburied !

          I was discharged after 15 days and was told to have check-up every fortnight. I returned Shirdi with satisfaction. Baba listened my prayer. My eyes were full of tears and the joy. I washed Baba’s ‘Charan’ with my tears. After 15 days eyes were clear. I successfully came out of bad dream.

          Mean while there was a Charitable Eye Camp at Shri Sainath Hospital, Shirdi. Foreign eye specialist had come to attend the patients. I got my eyes checked by them. I told them detail history. Showed them all papers. They listened me and saw the record. They told me, “We will give you more effective medicine. Try it every day and you will never suffer”. I was very happy and enquired about medicine. They told me “APPLY BABA’S UDI TO YOUR EYES EVERY DAY..... YOU GOT CURED BY THE BLESSINGS OF SADGURU SHRI SAI BABA”.

I always received blessings of Baba in many difficult situations. I work in a school in UAE and on January 23rd, I got a call from India from my sister that my mother was seriously ill. I prayed to Baba and luckily I got ticket on the same day and reached next day early morning. I went to the hospital and then I came to know that she was on ventilator. In the morning they let us in to see my mother and I was shocked to see her condition. Doctors told me that her condition was very critical and they had no hope. My sister and I prayed to Sai and in the evening doctors came and checked but there was no change. They told us we should be prepared for everything. Evening when we were able to see our mother we took Sai Satcharitra with us and touched it on her body. Later doctor came at 7pm and he told us that there was a slight improvement. Her blood pressure started rising. We prayed all night. Early morning we went to Baba's temple. We prayed and brought vibhuti from there. We told the nurse in ICCU to put the vibhuti on her forehead. She did and again we went with Sai Satcharitra and touched her. Morning when the doctor came he told us that she is improving better than they thought. My sister and me wrote Om Sai Ram in a notebook. By the time we finished the book my mother had tremendous improvement. She was on ventilator for 15 days. She survived only because of prayers. We are sure about that. Even the doctors were surprised. Thank you Baba for giving our mother back.

Recently, I took my teenage daughter for her annual dental examination. Much to my dismay the dentist told me that she wanted to talk to me since my daughter had a white patch on her tongue. I was worried since a white patch can be a symptom for pre cancer or cancer. I prayed very hard to Sai Baba the ever benevolent and read the Sai Satcharitra in a week. I also mixed a little vibudhi in water and gave it to her every day. We took an oral biopsy and by Babas' grace the report was normal and there were no abnormal cells. I made a vow that I would post my experience on the Sai Vichaar newsletter. Thank you Sai Baba and please continue to help Your bhaktas overcome their problems.

My wife was applying for her residency in U.S with average resume. With competition being so high, we knew that our chances were very low. With Baba's grace, she got interviews. Though we did not get any positive response from them, we had full faith in Sai. While we were waiting for the results, a week before, I got the message from Baba to start Sai naam jaap. The day before the results, I was praying to Baba to give me some hint. And I started to watch Baba's video when I got the message "Have Faith and Patience". Then the same day we were supposed to prepare to apply for the unfilled positions and Baba gave me clear indications, as there is no need to prepare for it, as she would definitely be selected. On the day of results, we completed the Sai naam jaap in the morning. And I was watching Baba's video and thinking if I should do the Ram Raksha stotra, and immediately I hear Sai Ram, Sai Ram song in it, giving a message I should do it. My 15 month old daughter was taking my wife's time and she couldn't start her daily reading of Satcharitra. Earlier, I was saying to Baba mentally, if my wife finishes her daily reading before the results, 12.00 pm, it would be good and she finished her reading at 11:56 am and I refreshed the screen on my computer and by Baba's grace she was selected and it was an absolute miracle and also to get to know it few minutes before the official time.

On Thursday, November 29th, 2007 I went to Sai Baba temple in Mylapore. I entered the temple at 10.30 am and at 10.40am when I wanted to sponsor for Annadaan, I found my purse missing. Mandir is flooded with people on all days, especially on Thursdays, it is packed. I was sure at 10.30, I had my purse in my handbag, because my husband gave me money for the sponsorship. I had kept the money in my purse and put it inside the bag. It was our wedding anniversary and I was terribly upset, to be very honest, I could not pray sincerely that day. I had all my cards in the purse. Fortunately, there were a couple of policemen in the Mandir, and I lodged a complaint immediately with them and blocked my cards by calling the banks from the Mandir itself. I returned home that day with a heavy heart and prayed to Saima to get back my purse with the cards, because my purse had all the cards like medical, pan, etc. Days elapsed, months elapsed. Suddenly on 22nd March 2008, I got a call on my cell from a gentleman that he had found my purse on the road. While he was standing in the bus stand, he saw my purse on the road, he picked it up and found a few cards along with my business card. He called me immediately the moment he saw my business card. He said in a couple of hours, he will let me know as to where I should go and pick up the purse. I was skeptical and could not believe at the first instance. That gentleman gave his contact information to me, so I called my husband who was away, to get in touch with that gentleman to collect the purse. In the evening when my husband was returning from office, he had been to that gentleman?s house to collect the purse. My husband was dumb founded to receive the purse along with Sai?s prasad. That gentleman had been to Shirdi and just returned the previous day. He had given a couple of rare photographs of Sai and udi along with the purse. We were spellbound.

This story started in December, every December we went to Shirdi to celebrate the New Year with Saibaba. With Sai kripa, I really got a good job with the good salary but unfortunately I was not selected in the field where I have interest. I worked in that field for 9 months and I love my company so much that I don't want to leave that. I spoke with my manger to put me in the field I like and used to cry in front of her that I cannot work in this field where I am. She always gave me fake promises that she will definitely do something for me. Finally she told me to wait till November and she promised me to promote me that department. As November came I did not see any effort from her side. In starting of December I prayed in front of Saibaba with tears in my eyes telling Him that He has given me a good job but what was the use of that job if I am not happy there, I was in that department from last 9 months but cannot be there any more, and asked Baba to do some miracle for me or take me out from this tension or situation. Finally after the first week of December, my manager called me and said that she is promoting me to the department where I want to go. I had a ticket booked on December 28th 2007 for Shirdi and on 26th December I was thinking that this time when I went to Shirdi I will pray to Baba that when I come back from Shirdi in January 2008 my manger should promote me to carrier level and on 27th December 2007, I got another miracle that she has promoted me again. I am working in that department with the Carrier level and Baba is helping me every month in achieving my target. Just want to say Baba be with me always I cannot do anything with You!

Last Saturday, I went to a birthday party with my family and on our way back home we stopped by a retail store to meet a family friend. We stayed there for over an hour and half while they were looking at some appliances to buy. After that we started from there to our home and after more than 40 minutes of drive, I realized I lost my handbag which had all my credit cards, gift cards and checks and my license. It had been more than 2 and a half hours since I left the store. I was very tensed and prayed to Baba while my husband called up the family friend to check with the store manager. Just then, someone turned the handbag to the manager and everything was intact in the bag. It is very surprising as the store was crowded with people buying lawn and patio furniture and also it happens to be in a busy mall on a weekend. It would have been a disaster if not for Baba's leela.

Baba recovered the remainING amount of Rs. 50/- promised by Shri Thakkar of MUMBAI.....

Once, a devotee by the name of Thakkar of Mumbai, prayed and promised to Baba that if his troubles were averted by Baba, he would pay Rs. 55/- to Baba.

Accordingly, his prayers were answered and his troubles were averted. He went to Shirdi, took darshan of Baba’s Samadhi in the Samadhi Mandir and offered only Rs. 5/- in Baba’s hundi (box), instead of Rs. 55/- as promised by him. He then returned to Mumbai.

While climbing the steps of his house in Mumbai, Baba reminded him in an invisible threatening voice to pay the remaining amount of Rs 50/-. He realised, he would not be able to deceive Baba. He went to Shirdi once again and offered Rs. 50/- in the hundi and returned to Mumbai after duly apologising to Baba.


Baba cured the swollen leg of Smt. Ahalya Krishnaji Uparkar, MUMBAI.....

In August 1963, Smt. Ahalyabai was struck by a nail in her leg and it bled. She left it uncared for, as there was no pain. On 24th August  1963, she suffered from fever as the wound turned septic.

Her sons requested her to take treatment from a doctor; but she did not agree.

After this, Baba manifested as a stranger and promised her medicine for her leg. In front of her house was a military depot. He went inside the depot and with their permission got the medicine and asked her to apply on the afflicted part. She did as told. No sooner was the medicine applied, the swelling lessened and the pain also decreased.

One night, in her dream, a nurse came and injected her. On another night Baba appeared in her dream and told her that a hole would be made in the affected part and then the wound would heal and the leg would become normal with no pain.

One day while she was sleeping, a rat came and broadened the wound with a big hole, thereby letting all the pus and worms flow out. She awakened her son and showed him how Baba had managed to cure her leg. After some days her leg was completely cured by applying Baba’s udi.

 
. Baba cured the paralysis of Shri ParsHuram Krishna Gore, Jamshedpur.....

Shri Parshuram Krishna Gore was serving at the Tata factory in Jamshedpur. On 9th July, 1966, he had a paralytic attack in which one side was paralysed, all of a sudden while returning home in the evening. The doctor tested him and directed him to be admitted to the hospital the next morning.

In the morning, in addition to his paralysis he suffered from a mental disorder. He was admitted to the factory hospital. He suffered much during the first two days of his admission. At that time, the members in his house prayed to Baba and promised they would send Rs. 10/- to the Shirdi Sansthan if he was cured immediately. Twenty days after admission he was sent home without any improvement.

He was given treatment in his house and improved with the grace of Baba. They sent Rs. 5.50/- to Baba’s Sansthan instead of Rs. 10/- as per their vow. The Sansthan sent a book of Das Ganu’s four adhyayas on Sai Baba; but Baba’s udi was not received.

However, after full improvement, he went to work, once a month, thrice in three months. Each time the factory doctor declared him unfit.

They seriously thought over this and remembering their fault sent Rs. 10/- to Baba’s Sansthan.

On 24.11.1966, Baba, in the body of an old man came begging at his threshold. His daughter was cleaning rice; but she forgot to bow in her ignorance. However, her mother gave 2 n.p. to Him. After receiving the same, He told her, “Your husband will be alright.” On 25.11.1966 (the very next day) Shri Parshuram again went to the factory. This time the doctor declared him fit for work.

Is this not a leela of Shri Sai Baba ?

Experience  of a  Devotee
It was in the year 1939, when I was working as an Inspector of schools at Bhadrachalam, an interior agency town in then East Godavari District, my wife had developed hysteria and was having a psychological feeling of some obstruction in her throat, she was not taking even liquid diet, not to speak of her daily meal. After some treatment at Bhadrachalam I took her to Kakinada for better medical aid where she was put under the treatment of a lady Doctor and assistant D. M. O. I was with her for about a month; but no improvement was found. After the expiry of my leave I left for Bhadrachalam leaving her with her parents. As she was not taking any thing for about a month, she was reduced to a skeleton and was almost given up.

One day Sri Narasimha Swami, one of the greatest disciples of Sri Sai Baba, happened to visit Kakinada and during the course of his lectures, he explained how strong will-power and devotion to God can cure even incurable diseases. One of my cousins, who happened to hear Swamiji's speech, approached him and brought him to our house at 9 p.m., and showed my wife to him. When Swamiji enquired about my wife's complaint and the treatment given, he was informed of all the details. Swamiji then asked her whom she generally prays every day, for which she replied she prays to Lord Sri Rama. Swamiji put a photo of Sri Sai Baba along with that of Sri Rama and after intensive prayer and Aarati to Sai Baba, gave Bhuti to my wife and blessed her that she will not have any such trouble from the next day. All this took place in the presence of our relatives, including the lady Doctor. To our surprise, early in the next morning my wife woke up and demanded some food which she began eating as usual and gradually recovered in a week's time. Since then we are devotees of Sri Sai Baba.

Thus we are still having the practical experience of our Lord's saying "that if you look at me. I shall look at you".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For about 17 years from my 19th year, I was a victim to fits. I had recourse to all kinds of medicines and charms, but it was all of no avail. Many people who knew my trouble began their conversation with me in friendly and sympathetic attitude only to play upon my credulity and to rob me of hundreds of rupees. There is no exaggeration if I should say that I had wasted nothing less than about Rs.1500 on all these treatments and charms, and that I derived no benefit there from. On the other hand, sometimes, I was in a worse state of health after the treatments an would wish that I might resume my previous state of health.

 At last about two years back an old friend  of mine gave me  a little of Sri Sai Baba's Udhi and advised me to leave off all useless medicines etc,.  and casting the entire burden of anxieties and worries that was troubling me on to Sri Sai Baba, to worship Him to release me fro my troubles. Immediately I began to offer worship to Sri Sai Baba. I must admit here that it was not with any real faith in Sri Sai that I did so, but only with the hope that I might be released from my trouble.

 But, though Sri Sai knew the actual extent and nature of my faith in Him, out of his everlasting mercy, He controlled my trouble from the very first. He saw to it that I would get the attacks only while at home or at the office, and never on public roads and other dangerous places. The attacks became milder and milder and they had no such after-effects such as the previous attacks used to create. On several occasions, when time admitted my putting a little of the holy Udhi into my mouth on feeling the previous symptoms, the attacks would vanish and would never trouble me.

 However; though I am quite content to be cured slowly, my mother and brothers at home were anxious on seeing that I was still having the attacks. On two occasions, without consulting me; they went to some persons who were advertised as having great 'mantrik' powers to cure such complaints. Simultaneously with the consultation, my trouble was aggravated though I was unaware of the cause for it.  For days    together after each of the consultations I had several attacks, and began to behave like an imbecile. When I was in such a condition, Sri Sai came upon me and told my mother "Am I not here to look after him? Why did you go elsewhere? Never has any devotees been thrown into despondency. He is never having any of the previous attacks that he used to have. Within other three or four months, he will be completely alright. Do not do anything now which may make him worse. Be content at having the complaint cured slowly." Immediately I decided never to go to anyone in future, and to rest my entire faith on Sri Sai Baba. I am perfectly happy now. These incidents may suffice  to convince anyone that Sri Sai is most anxious not only to  relieve us of our burdens, but to see that after once we pray to Him, we  do not take   any false step an thus ruin our  chances of an easy relief. How well He has realised the troubles of poor mortals like us and how anxious He is to make everyone happy can never be described in full.

Hello alpesh,
Thank you for letting this service. I would like to share my experience with all sai devotees.
This is an experience which has made me to believe in Shiridi Sai Baba more than ever...
We are living abroad . Unfortunately my father had a heart attack and was admitted to the
hospital.He had a surgery done and the doctors said that they need to perform another surgery as well. Unfortunately the insurance company said that it will not cover any costs of this, and we were not well settled yet for us to bear all the expenses and especially being abroad.

Father was in ICU for 2 weeks and doctors said that his condition is very serious.. All our family prayed to Shiridi Sai Baba and have done his parayana.

We read Mritunjaya mantra more than 108 times. Father got better to the surprise of the Doctors. They said it was really a miracle as they were not sure whether he can be fine earlier..

Sai Baba has blessed our father with life again. He has shown again that He is there for the people who look up to him. The financial aspect we were not able to bear it, but we knew that Baba is there for us and he will help us..and He did.. It was another miracle of Sai Baba..Hospital did not asked us to pay the expenses incurred, who were very much behind us for payment at first... .after we explained them about our financial situation once again.

I would say it is just the Blessing and one the miracles of Shiridi Sai Baba who has helped and will help us all in every way possible. I would not say it all happened overnight.. we did suffer for a period ..But We had faith and patience (shradha and saburi) towards Baba.. and it was true at times we were so broken that we almost questioned him for not answering our prayers as our father was not recovering.. But He did answer our prayers..and all he asked was a little bit of patience..and he had shown his miracle.. and no matter how much thanks we say to Sai Baba I would say it is still less..
Thank you once again for this service as I was able to share my experience with other Sai Bakth. and would want to say again that Sai Baba is there with us and looking after us.
Thank you Sai..
Regards
Sai Bakth.
