Devotee's experiences 1

Dear All,
About a month back I posted a prayer to Baba on this web site. A bit of a background. In April 07 my wife developed a huge lump in her breast. The doctor then said that it is not a problem.
In November 07, the lump became worse, but we were complacent since the mamography report in April was normal and we thought we would go for a good check up in January when I was more free. But my wife strated to read Sai Satcharitra. Within a week, the some force (it was Baba) made us go to Mumbai for check up.
The situation was bad. The cancer had spread to the liver and the doctor did not give us much hope. He said that operation was futile and put her on an agressive Chemotheraphy. He suggested 6 cycles with a checkup after 4.
While we were in shock, we held to Baba's feet strongly. During the 2 months period, whenever we were feeling depressed, and low, we would suddenly see Baba's photo somewhere (Auto Rickshaw, Scooters, Shops). My Wife took udi mixed with water thrice a day.
We went for a check up after 4 cycles. But before we went to the doctor, a sudden wish came to my wife to go to Shridi. The whole darshan of Sai at shiridi was in itself a miracle.
When we came back from Siridi and went for the check up, by Sai's grace, the spread to the liver had reduced substantially. and the lump in the breast had become so small that even the doctor found it difficult to feel. The doctor was so happy that he said that he would go for the curetive strategy now and the operation is slated for April 2008.
Thank you Sainath. You protect your people as the eyelid protects the eyeball. I have surrendered all to you! This body is yours and you will take care.
So to all those who are suffering, do not lose faith in Him. In your worst moments, he will come and save you. If he could help and save a sinner like me, you will certainly get his grace.
Jai Sainath
Experience 2
Sri Sai Baba is everywhere present
This incident occurred some years ago during my stay in Bandra West in Mumbai. I had gone on a vacation to my cousin's place at East Muland. One day, my cousins wanted to go to Muland West for shopping and insisted that we cross the railway track, as it is of a short distance. Somehow I was against it and suggested that we take the over bridge. They laughed at me and finally we decided to cross the railway line.
As we were crossing the railway track, my right ankle was caught between the fish plates and the Guard, being unaware, was tightening the lever. A train was about to leave from the same track. I did not lose my presence of mind and started praying to Sai Baba for relief. I knew He would certainly save me.
Just then a crowd collected and one of them ran to the Guard who was at a distance to inform him what has happened. The Guard loosened the lever and my right ankle was freed.
When we returned home the right foot had developed a big swelling. I could only limp and the pain was terrible. My cousin's parents were shocked. They wanted to take me to an Orthopedic Surgeon then and there. I consoled them by saying that Sai Baba takes care of me and 'Udhi' alone would bring down the swelling.
I budged to their insistence on going to a Doctor. An X-ray was taken. The Doctor said that there was no fracture and it was only a contusion. I became all right in a couple of days time.
I think of that incident and gratefully bow to Sai Baba for saving me from a ghastly accident. Otherwise, I would not be standing on my two feet today. When I sleep, O Lord Sainath, close my eyes with your blessed hands, and let me dream of Thy vision-Thy vision alone. When I live, let me walk in Thy image. When I die, let my last words be: "O Lord, how grateful I am for your gifts."
Let me close this with a poem;
"When the great External Auditor my book of life receives, And He checks the daily entries, that are written on the leaves; May He find the accounts in order and no need for fear or shame, But a credit carried forward to the glory of His name."
Lord Sainath – I owe you an irreparable debt of gratitude.
While performing the Japa, the Sadhana should dwell on the meaning of these Divine Names, and should believe that the all pervading divinity has appeared before him in the form of the Name. This gives ineffable joy and peace of mind. Or else the Sadhana should keep his mind fixed on the Divine Form of the Lord-His Ishta Deva.
