Dear Pradeep ji,
You are truly blessed .... please read the experience below - this is the experience of Santram Balwant Nachne Dahanukar, who was a very close devotee of Sai Baba, when Baba graced Shirdi ... I am copying this from the book, Devotees' Experiences of Sai Baba, compiled by Sri B.V Narasimha Swami ji .... When you see Nachne ji's experience and the similarity with yours .. you will know how you have been blessed ...
" For his wife, who passed away in 1929, he was anxious to do something to secure her sadgati (i.e.,literally a good start for her soul's further spiritual course). So, her ashes had to be taken to Godavari in Nasik and there disposed of with proper ceremonies. His father being ill, remained at home along with his three year old gradchild.
Santaram Nachne set off alone from Victoria Terminus with Rs. 80 in his pocket, without anyone to help him and without knowing what to do.
At the V.T. station he found a fellow passenger who took enormous trouble to enquire about everything and to give him direction about everything. That passenger noted that Nachne had no bed and so told him that the night would be chill. He even sent for a blanket and a bed-sheet and gave them to Nachne. When asked how he could get them so quickly, he said that he was a peon in the Bombay Arts School nearby, and that his name was Ganpat Shankar, and he was also going to Nasik.
That Ganpat Shankar took charge of him and his money and asked him to sleep. Ganpat Shankar locked up his money in a big trunk, which he carried, and woke him up before they reached Nasik Road station. He went on making payments for the bus, priests, etc. He attended to Nachne and to all his ceremonies. He accompanied to Ramkund, where the pinda had to be taken and helped him with directions as to how to keep his wife’s bones in his hand in a particular hollow where the current of the Godavari water would gradually wash it off. He accompanied him also to the chief temples at Nasik and left him saying, “We will meet again.”
When Santaram Nachne returned to Andheri and went to the School of Arts and enquired, he discovered that there was no such person as Ganpat Shankar working as a peon in the Bombay Arts School. So, the whole thing was again proof of Baba’s anxious care for those who love him.

After a great deal of sacrifice, that friend - the peon, without gaining a single pie or advantage, accompanied Nachne for several days and parted company with him promising to meet him again within a fortnight. But he did not. So Mr. Nachne went to the place described by that friend and found there was no such peon in the institution mentioned by him. Mr. Nachne was convinced that the kind and very wise "peon" was only a form taken by Sai Baba to help him in his distress. "
Om Sai Ram ....
