Dear Devotees,
At the outset, I thank the host of this site very much. Through this site, I salute Baba and I thank him for all his help in my life.
I am Manian, working for Government of India, in Delhi.
To say exactly when I became the ardent devotee of Shirdi Sai is very much unknown. My parents were devotees of Sathya Sai Baba of Puttaparthi and even in my childhood we had done lots of Bhajans at home and even attended the 53rd Birthday of Baba at Prasanthi Nilayam.
In 2001, my immediate family was going through a very difficult time in terms of resources. This was at that time some officer of mine informed me about her visit to Shirdi and enquired if I have any offerings for Baba. With little resources at that time, I offered some amount and just left like that. But I should be true in saying that I felt in my mind as to why she has asked me at this time of difficulty. It was a month end. But I prayed in the air that difficulties should be over soon. When the officer returned, she brought a table-top photo of Sai and offered prasadams. The day I got the photo, I hit a lottery and a huge amount of money came my way. This was my first incident I came up with Baba's Lilas. Even then, in my heart I was feeling that this might be a co-incidence. But it was not so. In 2003 I met with an accident and my spine got hurt and the incident was so bad that doctors claimed that I may go paralytic below my waist. I was bedridden for around 4 months. But Bab's Udi did the magic and within a week, the same doctors, who was pretty sure that I would go limb below my waist, started telling me that I am recovering soon and the word 'miracle' came from my doctor's own mouth. If this is not Lila of Baba, what was it? In the thick of my gloom also, whenever the thought of getting paralysic shuddered me, through an occasional advertizement, or through TV pictures or films, Baba made it sure that I am not alone and I am just at an arm's length from Baba's Lotus feet. And never I have seen the reverse. I have always felt his presence whenever I felt cornered by difficulties. If this is not miracles of Baba I don't think there is any word miracle in dictionary.
JAI SAI NATH. JAI SAI NATH. JAI SAI NATH.
OM SAI SHRI SAI JAI JAI SAI
