This year in March, our youngest brother Jeff suffered a heart attack, (our oldest brother Mike died at the age of 29 of a sudden heart attack). Jeff managed to get himself into hospital, where he suffered a second heart attack. By this time I prayed to Baba, who is my everything, to take care of Jeff, to help him get well and to be with him whatever was to happen. The surgeons decided (after an angiogram) that he would have to have surgery to unblock two arteries. I prayed to Baba even more, as a year ago, we lost 3 young relatives and a friend suddenly and prayed to Baba, to not let us have to go through another fatality or sadness. On the way into theatre, Jeff's heart stopped completely, I received the call (as I work in the same hospital and was a phone call away from theatre, and went into shock but begged Baba to save and help Jeff. Received another call from the surgeon himself, 10 minutes later, to say, even though Jeff had died for 6 minutes, they had managed to resuscitate him and were proceeding to surgery. After 5 hours in theatre, Jeff had 4 blockages not 2 as originally thought. Our family prayed and stayed with Jeff through his recovery, I placed Baba's udi on Jeff (with him or the family not knowing as they are not Shirdi devotees) and blessed him quietly and continued peacefully to talk to my beloved Baba. Jeff was discharged from hospital after a week, he was told to not go back to work or do anything strenuous for atleast 9 months. Jeff started to walk and work again within a month of his surgery and is now back to his normal self. But for the grace of Shirdi Sai, Jeff is well. Thanks/Koti pranams/nothing nothing nothing means anything to me except You my beloved Shirdi Sai Baba. Please continue to shower Your grace and blessings on all the family. You are my everything my Shirdi Sai, please continue to be so, and thank you anyway. Thank you also for the beautiful darshan You just gave me from the moon picture.

Jai Sai Ram, being one among the thousands those who go through the green card process pain, ours started years back. Everything was happening at the last moment and we were patient and kept cool, as we know our Sadguru Sai will take care of everything. I kept reading Sai Satcharita everyday. We stopped both checking the status in USCIS website and the email from USCIS as there were no progress on the horizon. When it was time for EAD/AP renewal this year, we were little bit nervous, as there was a huge backlog due to date movements this year. I reached the middle of Sai Satcharita and saw the pictures of our Sadguru. Miracle of miracles, wonder of wonders, to our surprise on the same day we got our Green Card and welcome letter from USCIS. We were in tears and no words to express Sai's love to us. We humbly beg our Sadguru Sainath Maharaj to continue to bless us and have a healthy life.

It so happened that on Monday I wanted to buy an idol of Baba made of marble polish a bit bigger in size from a shop where I had seen it some weeks back but when I went there to buy it it was no more there and was sold. Somewhere I knew the owner would find me another one, and I was obstinate that I wanted that idol at my home in any way. The shop owner asked me to come on Wednesday and was also qouting a higher price, I was not agreeing with the price in the beginning but on Wednesday when I saw the same idol I knew it was for me. I asked the price and he was stubborn that he would not reduce the price. Finally I agreed and bought the idol but on my way home I kept thinking that I should have bargained but again I thought it is only because of Baba that I have eveyrthing with me and I got the idol home. When my husband came back home from work, he gave me good news saying that he received his salary today with a very small amount being cut as tax and has recieved salary which he never thought of. I was so stunned and I knew it was Sai and nothing else, His mahima is only for His devotees. Baba thank you once again.

I have been a devotee of Baba since last 17 years, and have visited Shirdi number of times that I have lost count of it. I have experienced a number of miracles in these years and can say that I am alive now only due to Baba. I want to narrate an experience, which I had promised to write in this column. My marital life has not been very happy, after marriage my relation with my wife was not smooth and after great turmoil my wife left me with my son of 3 years to Chennai without informing me from Mumbai. She took a transfer from her office; she was not loving, caring and in short was not interested in this marriage. She went in 2003. I was shattered and traumatized by this as I loved my only son so much, he too loved me very much. My wife wanted to separate from me legally due to instigation from her mother and others in her family, still I persisted and avoided legal intervention. I visited Shirdi every 3 months and prayed to Baba to unite us soon for the sake of our child. In March 2006, I went to Shirdi on Shivratri day and had a blissful darshan. I had a book of answers that can be referred by devotees for their questions. With absolute faith I prayed and asked Baba whether my wife will live with me or not, will she come in that year (2006) or when shall she come and live with me happily? I thought a number, when I opened that particular page, Baba's answer was "Your desire will be fulfilled not this year, but next. People my laugh at you but will surrender to Sai after being convinced". I was doubtful and I asked whether He was sure to Baba, he again replied "Don't have thousand doubts for small matters". I waited with crossed fingers. Exactly in April 2007, my wife came to my house after being transferred by her office compulsorily inspite of her many pleadings to the management. At present she is living with me happily and seems to entirely forget the earlier episodes and her disinterest for me. I consider this as the greatest miracle.

I would like to share my recent experiences with all Sai devotees. I am reading every day one chapter of Sai Satcharita. Once I read the whole book I am starting over again and this is going on since March 2007. This is giving me immense peace of mind and lots of inner strength to move ahead in life. During last month it so happened that on Saturday morning my wife's foot got injured accidentally while working at home. She thought that it was a minor injury and should be gone in few hours but eventually her foot started swelling and she was under tremendous pain. She could barely move and couldn't walk without any support. We all were very sacred and thinking that it might be a fracture. I went to our pooja room and sitting in front of Baba, I pray and put my request to Him to relieve her from the pain and let it not be a fracture or something serious. With this request in mind I prayed for sometime and then I gave my wife Baba's Udi with water. She took it and we start applying ice massage to her foot. Within few minutes she slept and then when she wake up in morning, the swelling was gone. She was able to move without any support. We were surprised and amazed with this event in our life because I had read so many devotees experiences about Baba and His Udi's miracle but now we felt it to. I was facing tough time in my project and I wasn't expecting to complete more than 5-6 months but Baba take care of me and now I am still working on the same project and it is extended till end of year. Now with each passing day in my life my devotion is more and more on my Sainath. Dear Baba, if I have done any mistakes unknowingly or knowingly, pardon me and give peace to me and to my family

Baba thanks a lot deva. It just happened today when I opened the Sai newsletter and started reading. I was working with this problem at work for hours and couldn't figure out what was wrong, and then when I was reading I said to myself hope Baba would help me out with this problem. As I was in the middle of the reading, Baba showed me the problem and I fixed it right away. Yes Baba, you are there for all of us and You do take care of everyone. Baba, You know what's going on with him. I can't se him suffer Baba and you know we want to plan but every month something or the other comes up. Please deva, bless us a baby soon. Also Baba thanks a lot for the raise, which would not be possible without You. Please help her to come back to normal health and also please take care of our parents sisters and brothers. Jai Sai Ram!

My son came down with a viral infection last month. For many days and weeks, this was undiagnosed and he suffered tremendously. Not only was he enduring the physical pain, but also he was undergoing a lot of emotional stress. Being away from college was impacting his graduation next month. I applied Baba's udi from Shirdi on my son's forehead daily and prayed to Baba fervently, begging Him to cure my son's illness and to make sure everything works in his favor. Baba has never let me down and I can only thank Him profusely for all His blessings that he continues bestowing on me and my family members. Shri Satchitanand Sadguru Sainath Maharaj Ki Jai!

Om Sainathaya Namah. Few years ago, someone told me about Shirdi Sai Baba, I did not give much importance at that time. But, recently, one of my colleagues at office who is a staunch believer of Baba told me about Baba and asked me to read Baba's Satcharita as Saptaha. As my wedding was not happening for a long time, I started to believe Baba and as per my colleague's words, I visited Baba's mandir and started to read Baba's Sai Satcharita with full faith and devotion. Also, I was suffering from sciatic nerve disorder for 4 years and the pain was so terrible, chronic and unbearable, there was a time I could neither walk, stand nor sit. My entire leg was badly swollen due to blood clot. But it was Baba's miracles, that during my 4th day of reading Satcharita as Saptaha, I could sense and feel that something was turning in my leg. After sometime, I felt I was relieved from the pain by 50 percent and the next morning another 25 percent was reduced. I could feel that my leg was lighter than before. I was very happy and thanked Baba for His grace and blessings on me. I am very grateful and thankful to Baba for His mercy that I cannot express it in words. I seek His grace on me, every moment of my life on earth. Baba, please bless me with good life partner and good married life as early as possible. You are my guide, protector from evil, and help me in all my endeavors in life. Baba has given me so much peace of mind that I focus on my work and leave the rest to His decision both in official and personal life.
