DWARKAMAI's LEELAS(She is our Mother)

[Dipika]

EXPERIENCES      --     T.B.Jambunathan, Head Clerk,D.F.O. Madhura  states:-

For four years, I have been a  devout Sai Bhakta.  All these    years  Sri Sai  Baba  has protected my family. He has given us four warnings in dreams, that have   helped us in escaping shock and reducing pain. Mostly he appears as an old man. Subsequent  events have proved  the truth of  the warnings and intimations given in dreams. I have one daughter. Two years  back, Baba appeared in  her dream and told  her “Soon you  will have a son.” And a little later, she gave birth to a son who was named “Sai Raman”. Fourteen months after that bbirth, she bore another son who  was named”Sai Prasad”. In october 1943 i.e. 4 months after the second child  was born, my daughter dreamed that an  old man came to her in her dreaam and said”Will you give me Sai Raman?”and that she refused. She  communicated the dreamto me, I said to  her that it  was Baba that asked for the  child and that  is  wrong to refuse when he wants to take back his gift. Nearly two months  passed thereafter. In novembeer, the old man appeared to her in her dream  and again asked for  Sai Raman. She again refused. But the old man  said that in two months, he would taake away  the boy. That is, the boy was to be  taken away in January 1944 and the   hour fixed for his departure, viz., 4-15 Aa.M.  by the old man.  That  old man  was  we,  knew, Sai Baba, from our past experience. This Sai Raman was a very precociously devout child. He would stroke his cheeks standing  before Sai Baba’s picture and go to  sleep lulled by Sai Keertanas and would often prosptraaate  himself before Baba;s picture.

Soon after this dream  Sai Raman  had enlargement of liver and spleen  which grew  worse and worse.

Medical  treatment was tried- the best we could get there. That was all  invain.

His  body  became yellow and bloated. The day mentioned by Baba  in the dream  was 5-1-44. The  previous day I mentioned the approaching departure of Sai Raman to a kinsman. He wondered  how calm and unpreturbed I was in mentioning the approach of such a sad event as though it was some total stranger that was about to die. The fatal  night came.  We  made Sai Japa. The mother watched all night by the  child’s bed side.  Just before the time the child was to pass away  the mother fell asleep, the clock in the room stopped running and perpectual lamp(Akhandaaa Deepaa) that was always burning  before Sai Baba’s picture in  the house was extinguished.  She  saw in dream Baba on a peacock taking sway Sai Ram.
She cried  out, in the dream itself” Aalas, the child is going sway”  with that cry on her lips, she woke up and found the child  dead and  the  lamp extinguished.
Baba by his forewarnings and dream visions softened the blow; and the child’s mother bore the  shock  and pain  of its departure more easily when  parting is inevitable, see Baba prepare us for  eases  our pain!


(By S.Subba Rao,  Pleader)

On or  about the end  of the  1st week of February  1944, I heard a voice in my  sleeping moments saying”Make incessant namajam of Dattatreya”. I got up  from my bed and thought that  Baba,  has armed me wirh a  weapon toward  off the calamity that is  about to befall. I serously resolved  to make namajapam  of  Dattatreya as directed by Baba, but owing  to my preoccupation with other wordly matters, I could  not  do  namajapam. Next day Baba appreared as a judge in my dream and was very angry  with me for my act of omission to make  namajapam. I got up and  could not then understand  the cause of Baba’s indignaion. I again slept and dreamt  of having seen gingelly  seeds  and  of  having eaten them in large quantities. This is really a very bad dream and  deotees death according to the Science  of  Dreams. I got  up in the morning and was  sorry for the bad dream.  I got  a letter from my son  at Engineering College Guindy, that he was laid up  (in   the in-patient sick ward of the Guindy Hospital, suffering from a severe atack of asthama and in a precarious condition.  This, letter on the subsequent day, reminded  me of Baba’s precaution  on the previous night  directing  me to make Datta namajapam. I went before Baba’s  picture in  my house,  repented  for my  folly and made serious  namajapam  of Datta.  Three  days a fter  that, I  received a letter from my sickyt son at  Guindy that  he  was  getting  better by Baba’s grace and that he would go over to  Gooty  in spite of his serious and awful weakness.  I  ran  up to Madras to put  him  in a nursing  home but the Doctor  in  charge advised for a change. I accompanied him to  Gooty from Madras  by day  train in spite of his dreadful weakness entirely relying  upon Baba’s Udhi and  making  Datta  namajapam  even in the train.  We  reached  Gooty  and he began to recover  without any further meidicine.  He was  here for about  a fortnight and went to   Madras in  a decidedly  better state of health. Even now,  I am making  Datta  Namajapam for his complete recovery;  and he is on the sure road  to health.

Thus Baba saved my soon (Enggineering student)from the  throes  of death by his timely advice to me to make namajapam  of Datta as directed by Him and by the application of  Udhi. Dear Readers ! Understand  how Baba  has shown his love towards me and  my   son by prompting caustionery  steps  to do namajapam, this is entirely due to my having placed  intense faith in Him and  to my complete surrender to Baba  of all  my cares and  worries.

Experiencee of  K. Ramasami  Pillai, receiver, Estate, aged  34,  Maredpalli,  Secunderabad(Deccan)


Six months back, R got stomach trouble.  After meals, just when digestion would be going on R got severe pain in the stomach and vomited all  he-ate. This went on everyday. Allopathic and Ayurvedic medicines were tried and have no relieif. One month back, sow, Susila his wife, vowed that if the disease be cured, herself and  husband would go to Shirdi in june next. In  10 days  thereafter,  he got a dream whrerein a voice  said ‘Feed five persons and you will be alright’. He told his mother about his dream in the  morning and this was communicated to Sow. Susila’s  mother sow. Ethirajamma. Sow.  Ethirajamma at resolved to  feed 5 people and made a vow to  that effect 10 days back. That same night Susila also got a dream wherein she was told by her  guru. ‘Feed five people’. Next day she fed 5 people. From that day onward  R’s digestion greatly improved. He  eats all things  now and has no pain or vomit.

G.S.Devi. c/o Dr. Balaram  (her brother)  Konakonda (via  Guntakal) writes:-
I am a  Sai Bhakta, When B.V.N.Swami visited our place on 28-2-44,he  was taken  in procession through the streets of our village. One gentelmen noticed a strange old Mahomodan walking alongside of B.V.N.Swami at that time and telling    him(B.V.N.Swami)”I shall meet you at Vajrakarur soon,” When the procession reached its end, a dinner had been arranged for a large number, but the brother of the host though that the Mahomodan visitor should or could not be given food and so he by sounding his fingers and waving his hands drew the attention of that visitor and bade him  be  off. So that visitor left. All this was unknown to me. I did Pada Pooja and gave a night meal to B.V.N.Swami at my borther’s house  that night and slept.  In my dream came a young  boy of 6 summers and told me,”you boast you give grand meals.  I was not given ghee”. I could not understand the significance  of dream and on enquiry I learnt of Mohomadan visitor apprearance and dismissal without a meal. There was Bhajna(on Thursday)at the house of the gentelmen who was the host at the above mentioned dinner. I went there and told him of the above facts and my dream. He felt that  Sai Baba   had appeared in that form and been   sent away from his house without meal. So he bitterly felt  his misfortune of sin and fasted, vowing that he would  take  his meal only of the  same Vyakti would appear at his house and take his meal there.  Two days later, that  same figure appeared and soothed  his feelings and mine.  He   was given his  meal and then we all felt relief. This was a strange figure not previously  seen in his village. There  is a Moslem  saint who  lives in a far off village  and who visits Vajrakarur (3  miles off) where  he has Hindu Moslem followers  to whom  he gives respective Hindu Mantras  and Moslem texts and delivers  philosophical lectures on new moon  daays. The figure that  appeared at our village was  not that saint, and unknown .

Baba's Miracle!

I was stuck with a job in a Government institution for the past two decades. Not that I did not make attempts to switch jobs. Somehow, I never succeeded, partially because I had never made a serious attempt at an opportune time. I had almost resigned myself to the monotonous job, which offered no satisfaction, though I had risen to a senior level. I got into Sri Saibaba worship and belief some time ago (since 1991) and have completed many rounds of Sri Sai Satcharitha parayana. However, over the years, as my dissatisfaction with the job grew, my wife and I prayed more deeply to Baba for a job change. Considering my age and low level of self-confidence in switching to a private company job, I was wondering as to how that would be possible. But for Samartha Sadguru Sai Baba, nothing is impossible. He first offered me an opportunity to work in a US-based company (incidentally, my years of experience does not suit IT jobs) where the work is related to my earlier job. It is here that Baba's miracle worked. Not only was I able to learn the analysis package (totally new to me) easily, but also able to work directly on an on-going project and prove myself within a short span of two months.

The Managing Director here and the higher- ups in US were satisfied to offer me a job right away, without even a formal interview! For me, this is nothing short of a miracle! As promised to Him, I am sharing this experience with Sai devotees through this newsletter, which I read regularly. Looking back, I felt Baba's presence with me every moment that I worked these two months, guiding me all along. Now, in this short period, Baba filled me with all the confidence which I had lacked all these years, and now I am sure that, with His constant guidance and grace, I can make up for all the lost years and make quick progress in the new job, which I find very interesting. Believe me, I never felt any fear while voluntarily retiring from a secure Government job. I bow to Sri Sainath's lotus feet in gratitude, and pray that He guide me so that I sincerely dedicate myself to my new job and make progress.

I come from a poor family and when I was studying twelfth grade I was unable to concentrate in my studies especially math due to various problems in family. I was crying one day in the classroom for getting lower marks in math in my first midterm test and I was just praying Sai to help me concentrate more on my studies. One of my teachers was watching me crying, called and asked me to go for math tuition. I said I did not have enough money to pay for the fees and how will I pay for the tuition. He thought for a minute and he said that I need not pay the tuition fees and asked me to join the tuition class, which he was conducting. I hesitated first, I did not go for the first two classes but then through another friend of mine he asked me to join tuition class. My parents also suggested me to join the tuition class and my father said that somehow he will get the money for paying the fees. But the teacher came to my home and told my father that he requires no fees at all. I started to attend the tuition .The teacher didn't restrict me only to the math but he also made sure that I was taught physics and chemistry at his home by the other teachers. Until the examination, I was made to practice well. I attended all the classes completely free of cost even for the entrance. When the examination started, I prayed to Sai fervently. These were the words "Baba, You know that I am not rich enough to pay all the tuition fees. The only way I can show my gratefulness is by scoring a centum in math. I shall prepare well for the exams but be with me and bless me to make it". I wrote my exams well. When the results came, I was surprised to hear that I was the only centum scorer in math in the whole school. My tuition teacher was very happy about it. I could not believe my ears. I was awarded a silver cup for scoring the centum. I met my teacher thanked him for his support and I got an admission into the Engineering college as well.

Two years ago I went to my Eye doctor for my routine checkup and the nurse kept doing so many tests that I had some doubts something was wrong. After that, the doctor came and told me that I was a Glaucoma suspect and that my eyesight could start becoming poor in another couple of years. The optic nerve was damaged up to 55 percent, which was very rare in young people and I did not have eye pressure, which was common in glaucoma patients. We really did not know the reason for the damage. He then put me on some eye drops and told me to come every 3 months for regular checkup. I started my treatment but was so worried about my future, my husband and kids. I kept praying to God that I should not lose my full sight until I lived. Then I came across this Sai Vichaar website site and started reading all the miracles in the devotees lives. Then I started praying to Sai Baba that at least He should preserve the cells in the optic nerve that was remaining so that my eyesight will not become very bad. I started visiting the doctor every 3 months and was taking all the treatment they prescribed. After 18 months, the doctor said he is going to check how much damage has been done in this time of treatment. So I prayed to Sai Baba that if the damage has not increased anymore I will post my experience in this website. Then the doctor did all the tests and told me that the damage has not increased in optic nerve and I don't need drops any more and I can come next year for my checkup. I immediately went to Sai temple from the doctor's clinic and offered my thanks to Him. I just want to tell that everyone should have faith and patience in God in time of trials.

There are not one but too many Sai miracles in my life. To mention a
few. The first time I started believing in Sai, I prayed to Him that if
he is really my Lord, He should take me to Shirdi once, but there was
no chance of going to Shirdi as there was no one to take me. To my
surprise, within a weeks time I was in Shirdi. Then I started believing
in Him and also that miracles happen in life. My father who doesn't
send me even to my relative's house alone has consented to send me to
Shirdi with not that close friend. She is my best friend now, just
because she is also a Sai devotee and it is because of her that I
believed in Sai. Since then there were endless miracles happening in my
life every now and then. I tasted all my successes on Thursday...Baba's
day.
The first of them was Biotechnology exam in first year of my
graduation. I wrote it so bad and I thought would definitely fail. I
cried on the day I wrote the exam, I ripped off the book in which I
write my poems and felt that my life is worthless because I spent so
much money on my course. I was sure that I would fail. Not only me, but
also most of my friends had the same experience in that exam. Some gave
blank paper and walked out. Some complained that it was not the
questions were not from their syllabus, but I kept on praying God till
the day I received the results. When our lecturer was reading out the
numbers, we were literally panicking because so many of them failed.
But our numbers were announced at last and the interesting thing was
that it happened on a Thursday, and to symbolize his presence, Baba
sent a rain for 5 minutes on that hot and dry day (first week of June).
Is this not a miracle?

I would like to share my first experience with all the devotees. In 1992, I was trying for opportunities in the Gulf countries through known people. One day my father was asked me to visit his friend, who is staying other side of city so that I will get some help from him. One fine day I thought I would visit him today and handover my documents to him. I got into bus and got down at Secunderabad to catch other bus. Suddenly I realized I need to take photocopies for some of the documents and went to nearby shop and taken the photocopies and taken bus to visit my father's friend. I have given all my documents and returned home. After a month or so my mother was cleaning up my Almairah (Wardrobe) and found out my passport was missing. She asked me immediately and I do not have any clue about that. After thinking a lot, I realized I might have forgotten my passport in the Photocopier shop. As I was just started praying baba and visiting his temple. As I heard if we leave our favorite food then we can see the results in no time. Immediately I went to pooja room and prayed to Baba that I would stop eating Non-vegetarian food on Thursday. Its almost a month and I'm trying different ways to get the duplicate passport. One fine day, my father received a post card and surprisingly the post card was from photocopier shop. He asked us to come and collect the passport. My father immediately rushed to the shop and collected passport. When I returned home, I came to know this and I was totally amazed and felt very happy. From that day onwards I am praying Baba with more devotion. Sai, my humble sashtanga namaskaras to You.

My humble salutations to my Lord Sai. Baba, my only prayer is to beg You to bless the whole world. Let the world rest in peace, happiness and devotion towards the divine. Let Your mercy rule over the world; let Your feet become the sole essence of our meditation. Let human birth remain a boon on this earth plane. I would like to convey my heart through my dream about Sai. There were few people in a big hall and I was sitting alone to a side. There I saw one old person walking around and speaking to a few. I thought to myself- Is that Shirdi Baba? If so, He would definitely bless me with His presence near me. Lo, as these thoughts crossed my little mind, Baba in no time approached me and I placed my hands on His divine feet and prayed within twice- 'Lokaa samastaa sukhino bhavantu.' Then Baba was about to leave but looked at me again with eyes full of grace, being full of pure love. He looked at me as if He was asking if I wanted anything. I looked into His eyes and said- 'Baba, andarnee challagaa choodandi'- meaning to say- Look upon all with mercy. His eyes seemed as if He was to grant me that boon as His feet made a move.

Baba - A Successful Physician (May 1984)

It is said that whosoever puts his feet on the soil of Shirdi his sufferings
would come to an end. This universal fact was experienced very recently by
us.

Dear readers, my wife had been suffering from throat trouble for the last
many years. It started as an ordinary 'cough & cold' problem; but it went on
increasing day by day inspite of usual medical treatment. During my service
as a pay & Accounts Officer in the Central Excise, Indore, I consulted many
physicians of repute but there was hardly any improvement. At time she was
very miserable when she could not even eat or drink properly.

Apart from the treatment from   various doctors, she had to take many
precautionary   steps like avoiding quite a large number food items.

Recently, when we had the invitation to attend the Annual Gathering of
Writers   at Shirdi,   we were in a fix whether to go or not due to her
ailment.    It, however,  appears that Baba issued latent instructions   to
my   wife,   who suddenly   insisted that we must attend despite her
problem.    Immediately after we reached the pious city of Shirdi, both of
us presented ourselves before the lotus feet of Sai Baba   and   submitted
our prayer to Him to rid her of her long suffering.

Dear readers, you will be glad to know that before leaving Shirdi after the
'Summelcn,1 surprisingly, my wife felt that had no throat trouble at all.
Lest it should be only a temporary relief, we did not mention it to anybody
then and there. Will the passage of so many days now, we are able to openly
tell that she has completely recovered from her long outstanding throat
trouble. Not only that, she has since given up the various precautionary
steps and is able to take anything she normal likes to take.

The   miraculous   recovery   is simply  on account of   Baba super-human
powers as a successful physician,

Hello Sai Devotees,



Om Sai Shri Sai Jai Jai Sai



I want to share my experience with all the Sai Devotees. My name is Subash. I am 25 years old. From past 1 year I was suffering from severe stomach pain and I also had kidney stone problem. I had no peace of mind. I was not able to sleep at night. I was not able to concentrate on my work. The pain was very severe and I could not tolerate the pain. I had consulted nearly 10 famous doctors. It did not help me. I was not knowing what to do. I am a Sai bhakta since 6 years. I started to pray to Sai to help me out. At the same time while I was browsing the net, I came upon this site. I was very happy when I read the devotees experiences. My bhatki increased towards sai and I realised that it is only SAI (my God, my friend) who can help me. From that day onwards I started reading the miracles of baba and the experiences of the devotees. It helped me alot. By the grace of baba my pain reduced and within a month I was completely fine. I could not believe it. It is a miracle of SAI, which I have experienced myself. I have no words to explain my joy and happiness. Now, I am very happy. I and my family members are grateful to SAI. Last month I and my family members visited Shirdi (first time) to receive Baba's blessings and by the grace of SAI I and my family members are experiencing the miracles regularly. Om Sai Ram. O Mere Sai sometime you are very near to me and sometime You are too far. Why? I know I am wrong, I am still not able to devote much time for your Pooja, but still I am your child. Do punish me for the mistake I committed in my life, and still committing. I have surrendered myself to 'shree Sai Charano par'. Give me your love and affection which I need badly. Please be with me and my family always, everywhere, everytime, in my happiness and sorrow. Om Shri Sai. I am a regular visitor to this site. I am very grateful to the team for providing the devotees of baba this beautiful site. I request you to inform me regularly about your activities and any information about baba. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to share my experience and feelings with all the SAI DEVOTEES.



Give peace and happiness to one and all.

Subject: MY DAD'S BIRTHDAY – SAI WITH CHILDREN

Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 18:48:10 -0500

My dad's 60th birthday was last Saturday. My mom and I gave him the surprise of celebrating it for him at a girls' public school. He loved it. We took sandwiches, which were really good; soda, and a big cake. Our guest list (the girls) was supposed to be of 60 girls, but since it was raining and some have to come from other towns, not all showed up. But, anyways, we served the sandwiches. My big brother helped with the drinks while my dad listened to the school band play, which was made up of about six or seven girls who played really good. Even my 4year old niece got in to the fun of service. She expressfully enjoyed handing out bon-bon candies.

At the beggining my mom and I, especially I, were a bit confused About the environment. Of course, it was not what we expected it, or the image we'd craeted of it in our minds. We expected a bigger number of young girls but most of them were adolescents. The actual phrase in my mind is: "I expected more innosence". We'd brought toys to give away as prizes after a few games. But we didn't have any games. My mom is holding the toys to give away in another instance. To be honest, at the beggining I was a bit dissappointed because it wasn't what I expected. But I knew BABA had a purpose for it. So I went along. And when I least expected it,

I was having one of the most astoundingly memorable moments of my life.

I was running around to get more sandwiches, helping with the drinks, and cleaning up before we left.

And of course, I felt HIS presence so intensely, I even thought He was there physically. But it was a woman who was the mother of two of the children at the party. But, physically she looked very much like BAGHAVAN SRI SATHYA SAI BABA. She had brown skin, dark, thick hair, and even That passionate look in her dark eyes. And she even seemed to enjoy it more than the children. And both times I approached her to bring her a drink and a piece of cake, I could feel a peacefullness and a puriyfied happiness emanating from her so strong it "swung" me. Again, of course, it was BABA's action. I didn't and haven't mentioned this to anyone yet. I'm afraid of getting an unconvinced reply or just not the one I would expect to hear. To bad we weren't able to take any pictures to show you. I would've loved to. I wanted clowns and a big thing as I'd told you, but my mom couldn't afford all that I had in mind, much less I. But I sure am looking

forward for my birthday. It's going to be a ball. Just like the one

I picturein my mind.



Nontheless, I had a wonderfully lovely time. What I liked most about the whole idea is that my dad really enjoyed it. I could not only see it in his smiling face, but his eyes shone a brightull happinness and satisfaction. He said that he didn't really like those loud dinner parties at home, and never really knew how to celebrate it. I'd told him about your idea with which he agreed upon. But he never suspected the surprise party. I loved it! I HAD A GREAT TIME! MY DAD LOVED IT. HE HAD A

GREAT A GREAT TIME!



THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Respected Bhagwan



I am really at a loss for words to describe about HIS Divine Personality which is unfathomable.Quite a few incidents in my life made me look up to THE DIVINE FATHER and exclaim 'You are indeed a saviour for humanity'.A few years back I lost my ATM card along with the pin number written on a piece of paper.After two days I realised that an amount of Singapore dollars 1000/- was withdrawn from my account.A thought just flashed across that Bhagwan Shirdi Sai would probably do the needful to salvage me from the crisis.After a week or so,much to my surprise I received a call from one of the bank officers that the amount was deposited back to my account.Well,this is a miracle which is beyond human rationale.As a matter of thanksgiving I visited Shirdi last year.Likewise I got through my engineering exams about 12 years back with the grace of SAI,despite my average performance.After all HE is the cosmic examiner auditing our thoughts and faith and knows what is to be done when.Nothing is impossible for Lord SAI.About 4 weeks back I appeared for my last Oracle certification exam and got through with HIS Grace.The day prior to the exam, I opened the Sai Satcharit in a very tensed mood only to read about SAI comforting a student that he would secure a pass notwithstanding the astrological predictions working against him.It was indeed a tremendous source of relief and I was confident that HE would guide me through the exam.True to HIS reputation of being 'Apathbandhava' he made me get through with the exact passmark!I got choked with emotion.I do pray that SAI would have the entire humanity in HIS fold so that the world would be a wonderful place to live in.



OM SAI RAM Your child S.Sounderrajan



Nita Patel, New Jersery

Dear Sai bhaktas,

We have been strong believer of baba since last three years. I am basically from Nairobi, Kenya. As the matter of curiosity, me and my husband thought of applying for visas to USA. In July one fine day we called up the embassy to fix and appointment for interview, we got the appointment fixed on August 18, 2000. As 18 = 1+8 = 9 being a significant number I had confidence we will go thru it. We had to prepare paper work for an interview, we were suppose to give strong proof of our ties in Kenya, good finanacial background. Since me and my husband were working, and had responsibilities of two girls , my daughters, The savings were not that much to make them confident. But we had strong background of place where we both were working. We prepared the necessary paperwork, I started reading Sai Satcharitra the week before so that I can finish and go for an interview. I finished reading on Tuesday and Wednesday morning we had to go for an interview. We had left everything on baba saying "YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR US". As we reached the embassy, there was a long queue.., and in that queue I saw a person who seems to be of Arab origin, but the clothes he had put on were white kurtan with white turban and had long white beard, when I was chanting sai sai he just turned around and I could see baba in him. As our number came …One of officer who was checking all the paperwork, as per attached to the form, and there was one section mentioned …if children are below certain age no photographs are required , so we didn’t take any pictures of girls. She told us to go and get them done at he near mall and be back before 10.00. As it was early morning 8.00 and the malls open at 9.30 . We had to go and wait till the mall opens we tried other places also they were closed. After taking the pictures of girls we returned to embassy , just thinking why is this happening ? When we reached it was nearly 9.50 somewhere. And there were few ppl ahead of us in that line, for interview. We were called . Me and my girls were chanting baba’s name, having a baba’s key chain in my hand. As the officer was going thru papers, he just asked what were we working as and spoke to girls nicely and there he said go to other window pay your fees and get the passport next day. SAI RAM was the words came out of me and my husbands mouth. and i couldn’t believe it. The Officer didn’t even go thru the bank statements. We paid the fees and we were silent all the way to our home and went straight to my mandir and bowed before him, and due to him we safely reached USA without any trouble. Since then me and my family have become more believer in Baba, he has been there when ever we called him. MAY SAI BLESS YOU ALL

I had a recent experience which made my belif stronger that saibaba will take care of me and help me in any situation. recently I got a new assignment and joined this new company for software consulting. The client had a problem and he wanted me to fix it. And I had never worked on that software product before. Besides there was no manuals available for that. And being new in the company I hardly knew anybody there. So I just prayed to saibaba and thought that he will take care of my problem. And within minutes I met this guy thru a my only friend there who had worked on this software before and he helped me and explained me how this was supposed to work. After which I could fix this problem very easily. And wouldn't you know at his desk was a picture of sai baba. Now some of you might say 'hey thatz just a co-incidence'. But I believe that there's god (saibaba) who takes care of me and helps me out in every problem in my life. And I am always very relaxed and happy because of THEE.

Baba is great.....He has made THE DIFFERENCE in my life! I was introduced to Baba by a friend (unfortunately who is no more now). Ever since I have to come to know Baba I have received numerous blessings for me and my family. His ways, though mysterious, are simple wonderful. Till today, I can proudly say that Baba is my everything, my all, the air I breathe, my substance and my life! No one can take His place. My day does not start on a good note if I do not go to His Mandir and touch His Beatiful Lotus Feet! Every evening I must go and thank Him for all His blessings for a good day if not I feel very guilty and miserable. I just want to thank my friend who passed away and who I know is now with Baba for her love and affection and for showing me the path to the truth. May Baba shower His blessings on all other devotees who so lovingly follow His path and I only ask for Baba to help me to continue to look to Him for guidance in life.......to be a good, pure person, an example of all goodness and truth in my family.

OM SAI RAM!

I first visited aling with my family in the year 1993.That was my first my experience in my life although I had several experiences.One of my family friend had advised us to read Sai Charita.I bought the book and started the parayana.I finished my degree final yr exams and my results were out but to my suprise I was failed in one subjuct.But I did not loose heart and had all my hopes on baba.I applied for the revaluation and paid Rs 100.But after a feww days I got a regisered letter from the university saying that I have to pay other 100rs.Seeing this I have enquired my about they sataus but they said they did not receive any letter.I paid the 100rs.Ater a month as soon as I completed the parayana I got my result positively.From that time onwards what ever I do I just think if baba.My entire family are devoted to him.He is the only person whom we believe in.Now Iam working as Programmer at hyd.





Dear Sai bandhus

It was a very wonderful day for all of us. I wanted to specially thank you and Sai Nath for one interesting experience, which I would like to share with you.

You are aware that for about 5 minutes, "Om Sai Sri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai" chanting was done under the leadership of Shri Shankaraiah garu. As is my habit, I closed my eyes during the chanting (just like I closed my eyes during the singing of Endaro Mahanubhavulu). I was seeing Sai as Maharaj, i.e. with the crown etc. as seated in Shirdi, when my eyes are closed, whereas when I opened them in between, I was seeing Him as a Fakir, seated on a stone.

I bow in reverence to Sri Sai Maharaj.

In Sai's service,

Sri Ambatipudi Ramachandra Sarma Garu ,Aged 78 was my teacher, guide and philosopher. He was an exponent in Karnatak music and a vedic scholor. He spent his whole life teaching classical music and practising Brahma Vidya. He was an Apara Parigrahi throughout his life that is he never accepted any alms and gifts from any person ,and also never kept food materials morethan required for the day or two. He had such great faith in the Almighty and never thought of future requirements or past and present deficiency. He was a simple ,cheerful and pious person.I observed always as Nitya Santhusti and Nitya Annandi. He had great respect and reverence for Shiridi Sai whom he treated him as a Brahna Rishi always.He used to explain me how SaiBaba practiced pure Advaitic Philosophy and his Adi Brahma qualities.

Sri Sarma Garu left his body in the early January 2000 and left me ,his wife and daughter in deep shock. After this , one day I discussed this problem of my late teacher's family with Saibanisa of http://www.saidarbar.com and to render help to them. Saibanisa felt that such pious and needy family should be helped and held Lord Sai shall to their rescue and prayed for help.

To my surprise within two days there was a message from Sri Vijayanand K.P. of U.A.E to Saibanisa that he was willing to spend some amount for a good cause.With Sai's Grace and Saibandhu Vijayanand's good intension , my late teacher's got good succour for few months.

This is in 1995 when we returned to India after my husband's assainment in US. I was in Bombay. I had some health problems and I was going some medical treatment. One day I saw two small lumps on BABA's picture on his lips. I was so scared and I don't what he wants to say to me. After couple of days my doctor told me that I am pregnent and I have a firoid. I have to have bed rest for whole 9 months. You cann't believe that Baba himself carried my baby and fibroid. After my delievery I did not see those lumps on his lips. Whole 9 months he was there with me every second and took care of me. Even now he is taking care of me. I believe in him so much. He always helps me in my life.

OM SAIRAM to all.

Dearest friends,

Baba has been with me in every walk of life, and has made this life a dream for me. However, we should never ever forget that if Baba has made us so capable and prosperous, the least we can do is abide by His teachings. I sometimes fail to practice

BABA's beautiful teachings, but BABA has still never been harsh, and has lovingly but firmly let me know what He thinks. I wish to narrate something with regard to this. There is someone who lives in the same area as me, and this person is also from India,like me. She is living alone for the first time and keeps asking for smallest favours and directions etc, from everyone, and help as well. Many a time she is so scared about things that she becomes very insistent and disregards others' inconveniences. She is a sweet person but this childish trait has alienated her from a lot of people. Or maybe it is my and others intolerance which views it as such. However, day before yesterday she asked me to do somethings for her. I was with a friend and I got irritated as she kept insisting, and I just wanted to wash my hands off the matter. She asked my friend too about some help etc and just to hide my embarrassment (I did not want my non-Indian friend to think badly of Indians) scarcely had this person left us I whispered to my friend 'she is a bit crazy!' I felt terrible about it too, as all along a voice kept saying within me what BABA says about 'Rinanubandh', that someone comes to you only if they are attached to you from the past birth and so please speak obligingly and be kind even if you can't ob!

lige. I failed to observe this. That nite, I got a dream. I saw a beautiful image of Lord Krishna, and He was telling me, I will go to someone else as you don't love me. I saw an identical Lord Krishna standing next to me, who was silent. I then saw BABA and BABA told me, you love me in my form but you should also love me in all other forms. BABA said this to me in Hindi. Then I saw that I was putting vibhuti on the forehead of this person whom I had refused help and about whom I was contemptuous. I need not explain the meaning of this dream to enlightened souls like you all,but still, it meant, BABA exists in everyone, so help everyone in every way you can and if you can't then at least don't make fun of them. I called up the person in question the very next morning, and made up. I also recalled with a shock that I had not put vibhuti on her forehead when she had come to my place. I was full of remorse. I called her and put vibhuti and thanked BABA for this beautiful lesson. !

I am so grateful to BABA and I pray to BABA desperately to always help me remember His teachings. Sorry for taking your time, God bless you all.

Lots of love

I have many experiences of being blessed by shri shirdi sai baba and the latest one is that though i visited shirdi in december 99 and had the fortune of being at His shrine on the vaikunda ekadasi day, i did not have the fortune of seeing the chavadi procession on thursday as my visit was on a saturday. i was longing for it and praying to Him and was also praying to Him for getting me a good job. i recently started reading sai satcharitra three times continuosly and when i finished the first reading on this wednesday, the 17th may 2000, and did satya narayana vrata pooja on the next day which happened to be a pournami day, i suddenly got an inspiration to visit a murugan temple near our place with my whole family. it happened to be vaikasi visakam day and to our utter surprise the murugan idol was carried in a procession round the temple and with the dances and music and all rites. i could close my sees and when i closed it i could see my favourite deity sai baba being taken in a procession as it used to happen just when he was alive. it is a great blessing for us and i am now in the second reading. i have full confidence in my baba that by the time i finish the third reading i will get some good news on my job front and my son's education front. thank you baba. may your feet be always in my mind.

"Someone asked the Prophet, "who has the greater right over children, mother or the father?" The Holy Prophet answered, "The mother's right is greater than the father's". He was asked the question three times and the answer was still the same. The fourth time, the Prophet elaborated and said,

"The father's right is next"

"Why do you give the mother three rights to the father's one right?" The Prophet replied, "Your mother carried you for nine months in her womb, then gave you birth. After that she gave up her sleep for you, suckled you,carried you in her arms, and cleaned you. For years she cooked for you,fed and served you food. She did your laundry. When you were forty, fifty, sixty she still followed your progress with interest. Your father sowed you in your mother's womb, provided your food and made sure you had clothes to wear Can this be compared with your mother's role? The questioner went on, "Well, I wonder if I could ever repay my mother for all the help and service, however much I might do for her?" The Prophet replied," you could not repay as much as one nights due!" "But suppose I carry my mother on my back for years, clean up after her, cook for her, and feed her. Suppose I attend those same services as long as she may live?"



"There will still be this difference between you: your mother looked out for you to live, while you are waiting for her to die.""

I don't know which one to narrate , there are so many , some we notice, some we don't , Baba some times , gives us what we need , because he knows we deserve it, some times he doesn't , because he knows , we should get some thing better.

One of my experience was , My wedding was on the 25th of Nov 1998 I was in madras on the 12th I think and my fiancy was there on the 15 th from USA , I had told him that he should take me to the Sathya sai Temple in madras on the 23rd of nov as it was his birthday , (But my fiancy was not a

sathya sai believer but he has a strong belive in shirdi sai I am sure that one day he will know , that sathya sai is none but shirdi sai) He didn't take me , and I didn't force him to as he was also very busy , But I was always wanting to go to his temple.

My brother came from bombay on the 24th nov for my wedding and that was my engagment day , He gave me a cover and said that muralidharan uncle asked me to give this to you. and when I opened it , I knew it was a greeting card for my wedding , but to my sur prise , there was a Baba's (sathya sai baba's) photo also with that. I was so happy and , I baba blessed me that way during my wedding. Then I told my husband after our marriage , that you didn't take me to meet HIm , see but HE came to me, HE gave me darshan.

Sai baba is always around you , and some times we don't realease it. BABA bless every one on this earth. My koti koti pranams to my Dear father sai baba

Dear All,

I don't know what experience i should write. If i start writing my experiences i guess it will be more than 100's of pages. I started Beleiving Our GURU SHRI SAI BABA since 1990. He fulfilled of my every wish and changed my life beyond my imagine.

I want to share with you all this experience.

Two weeks back after i come back from work, i started feeling chest pain. after half an hour i couldn't bear the pain. I told my wife iam retiring to bed early. I don't want to go hospital. I know our guru is inside of me. I told my self since sai baba is in my soul i should not fear. Pain got aggravated and started closing my eyes. after 5 minutes BABA (Baba photo in CHAVADI) coming out my heart. after that i don't know anything. Next day Morning i am as good as new.

Last one month every day he was giving me one new experince. Every day, every minute i could feel Baba inside of me.

I want to share another experience of mine(actually my wife's) which happened a few days back which increased my faith and love for Baba Sai many folds. I believe that it is sai who showed myself and my wife another leela of his. Ofcourse, I do believe that baba is always with me and takes care of me and my wife (everyone as a matter of fact) but incidents like this make things more clear for people like us. Myself and my wife believe in sai to the max and meditate on him whenever and whereever needed. Jus recently we started giving sai arathi after reading some text from Satcharita. We have made it a routine to do so. One night as we were about to sleep, my wife who forgot to get some water went to the kitchen to get some. I usually ask her to switch on the light but somehow that night she did not. As she was about to enter the kitchen (she was about to put her leg) in the darkness...she heard a voice which said "switch on the light now, there's a glass piece" and automatically, maybe in the shock as if someone lifted her hand up she put on the light. To her shock, she found a glass piece standing up. She was zapped and was puzzled...had she put her leg down, the glass piece would have cut her leg. For a while she was trying to figure out what that voice was and from where it came. She came to the bedroom where I was and informed me about what happened. I had no words to say...my hair standing on the end and with a strange feeling. After a while we both thought that Baba had protected her and felt great for we knew Baba was around us. It was a great feeling. She told me that a few days back a glass bottle broke and thou she cleaned the place a couple of times, this piece was somehow left out. Maybe we should thank the glass piece or something else for atleast she heard Baba's voice and we got our faith and love increased. I have no doubt that baba is protecting us...we jus need to have faith and confidence in him.

As Baba always says....Shraddha and Saburi. Immediately we gave Baba arathi and some sweet(sugar) and thanked him for his care and love towards his devotees.

Bow to Sri Sai...Peace be to all.

I feel quiet fortunate to have found this site when casually surfing the net...thanks to my Baba Sai. After reading through some great experiences of devotees I thought I should share mine too. This is a good experience of mine on how Baba helps us out when we are in trouble. It is that firm faith we need to have on him that will help us cross those hurdles...and sometimes miracles do happen depending on our belief. I believed in Baba but somehow when it comes to real incidents, it was hard for me to convince myself. It dates back to 1993 when I jus finished my engineering(and was going to Australia for further studies) and had gone to collect my provisional certificate. I had been to my college and spent sometime after collecting my certificate with my friends who were still there. We had a good time celebrating and having parties. I had calculated my finances well and once I received my certificate, I had to go Bangalore to the University to get my certificate signed by the registrar. This part is a bit tricky as we need to pay some money to the clerk who works and who takes the certificate to the registrar to get it signed. I did what was required and once the work was done I decided to go back to my place (hyderabad). I reached the bus station at about 6:00 pm and stood in the queue to get my ticket for the next bus which is at 6:30pm. There are buses that go from bangalore to hyderabad every half an hour. I took out my wallet to get some money to buy the ticket which costs about Rs120 (as far as I remember).

To my shock I realised that I had only Rs100 and was short of Rs20 and did not know what to do. I was very confused and was stuck. I came out of the queue with the hope of finding someone I know so that I can borrow some money. I was also contemplating as to how I could make such mistakes and was not able to believe that I overshot my expenses. I was cursing myself for the situation as I waited for the next 2 hours to see someone. I even searched my hand luggage in the hope of finding some money which I may have slipped in by mistake. Fat hope...I could not even find a penny. I could not see anyone too whom I know and the person who issues the tickets informed that the last bus is at 9:30 pm and that it was getting full. It was already 8:45 or 9:00pm and I had no hope of reaching Hyderabad. I had to reach Hyderabad the next morning so that I could submit my certificate along with the other papers for Australian Universities. I was then suddenly reminded of my Baba and prayed to help me out of this situation. I uttered the two assuring words "Sai Sai"...and asked his help. I waited for the next ten minutes not expecting anything to happen in such a short time. Then suddenly something was telling me, asking me to check my bag again. I was sure i had nothing but still casually I reached my handbag ...atleast to grab something to munch and while trying to find it something touched my hand. What I could feel was that it was something like paper as I could get that crisp sound of paper. I peeped into my bag and to my great joy I found Rs.50 in it. I was both overjoyed and thrilled and ofcourse confused. I got my ticket ... there were only about 2-3 seats left and reached Hyderabad safely on time to do my other stuff. But what I still could not answer was how that Rs50 slipped into my handbag. It is certainly not that I may have kept it by mistake and was sure because I searched my luggage twice. Well, wha t I can say is that it is Baba who had helped me out of such a situation...who else can help me except the all pervasive Sainath. The two words "Sai Sai" did the magic and it is my firm belief that baba will respond when anyone utteres these words. Now, 7 years on the run I believe in baba more than myself.

BOW TO SRI SAI...PEACE BE TO ALL.

KULDEEP AGRAWAL



I always wanted to share my wonderful experience/(s) of Baba's divine Grace and is kindness on creatures like me,who(honestly speaking)never took Baba's mnipresence and kindness seriously,before I went through the experience,which I am going to share with you all and it is decribed as below:

About a year ago(or may be slightly more),a programme named `PRARTHANA'compered by singer MANHAR UDAS used to come on Door Darshan early morning at about 6'0 Clock,which was also discovered by me per chance,because,I,one morning after having got up early,finding nothing to do,switched on the TV and found this programme running.After playing one or two Bhajans of Baba's grace,the compere narrated experiences of some audience who had written the same to the programme/Door Darshan.This was being done right in the end of the programme,where Manahar would read out the letter and briefly describe the experience.This really fascinated me and I decided to watch this programme regularly every week and my faith(trust/belief) in Baba started getting stronger,of course never imagining that I would be able to go through a marvellous experience myself.

Just after a few days of start of this routine,which was going on well and uninterrupted,I got a notice from Income Tax department that my case has been selected for scrutiny,which,in normal course,upsets everyone and anyone,because of the hassels involved,even to the fairest Taxpayer,like me.Any way,as per the normal procedure,I submitted all the necessary information and documents and since there was not even a single point,where any hank-panky was detectable,there was hardly anything to be afraid of.However,in my returns,I was having a loan entry from one of my Brother-in-Laws,who,that time was a Colonel in the Army and whose signed confirmation was very essential to close the case.On checking with my cousin sister,I was informed that my Brother-in-Law,who has to sign the confirmation,was away with a specially deputed Army Team,who was to visit all the important Air Force Bases in the country and submit a Report to the Army Head Quarters.Since movements of this team were qu!

ite confidential,there was no way out,through which I could contact my Brother-in-law or at least could send him the papers by post and get the same signed,except to wait for his return(which was about a month away) or his call to his family from some intermediate station.Incidentally,this was very near to closing date of 31st march,by which,the ongoing cases are to be finalised by the officers,who are handling the case,otherwise,they go over to next financial year,by which time,lot of transfers of the officers take place.Now since this officer was an honest and fair person,it was my deep desire,that my case should be processed and closed,before this officer gets transferred,otherwise,new officer may create some new problems and the case would also get delayed accordingly.

Now since,I was watching the `PRARTHANA' programme,those days,I unknowingly,started praying and requesting Baba,that if YOU can help and do wonders for others,why not a small favour for a worthless creature like me also,as a gesture of your kindness and in order to inculcate my faith and belief in your kindness?And my dear Sai Bandhus!! Baba,heard my prayers and just the very moment,when I thought of BABA and his kindness,my cousing sister gave me a call at about 9'O Clock in the night that her husband(My Brother-in-Law),who was somewhere in Assam and who was overflying Delhi airport,had to suddenly change his programme,since their aircraft,while refuelling at Lucknow Airport had developed some snag due to which,they will have to Land at Delhi and while the snag will be rectified,which might take minimum two hours,he will be able to come home to see his family for a few minutes and then report back on duty,as per special permission granted by the Leading officer of the team,of!

which he was a member.My joy and gratitude to SAIBABA,knew no bounds,when I heard this and immediately rushed to my cousin sister's house in NOIDA(about 12 Kms from my place) at 10'O Clock in the night and saw my Brother-in-Law entering just about 5 minutes after I reached their house.I had taken the necessary papers duly prepared,which,my Brother-in-Law signed and just within about next 30/40 minutes,he left again to join back his team.

I think,by any imagination or coincidence,this kind of incident is impossible to happen,except only if the KIND AND GRACIOUS SOULS like SAIBABA,decide to answer one's prayers and bestow their kindness upon those who really believe in THEM.

As a resiprocal gesture of Gratitude,I,at the earliest next opportunity,paid my obeissance by having Darshans of SAIBABA at SHIRDI,alongwith my entire family,which was First time in my life of nearly 50 years.

I think and hope to go for Darshans of SAIBABA very soon and would urge to all those,who believe in HIM,must pray and,whenever possible must visit Shirdi,which,probably,is one of the most pious places on this earth.

I SAW BABA

IT WAS IN 1994,NOV. One day I was travelling buy bus from vidyanagar to Nellore. I was reading a book written by master Ekkirala Bharadwaja named "SAI SANNIDHI". The bus reached gudur and it was halting there for five minuites. At that time a middle aged man wearing an old lungi and shirt approached my window and asked me to give ten paise . He asked me in hindi stating "MUJHE DAS PAISE DO". At the first instance I waved him away but after a few seconds I thought that I should give him ten paise.I searched for ten paise but could not get one. Instead I paid him fifty paise coin. He took it and looked at it like a mad man for sometime and then tossed it and then gave it to me and said that he didn't want fifty but ten only. I searched for that but I could not get. Meanwhile the bus started and was going away. At that time an idea flashed and I searched for that man. But the man disappeared and I firmly believe that he is none other than baba. I kept t! hat coin in my pocket for a long time. When I started to shirdi for the first time there was problem with change. Unknowingly I paid that coin at the ticket counter. From that day onwards till today (ie.,03.02.2000) I never found that man in gudur busstand.

I am interested in collecting the devotees experiences. If anybody is willing to share their experiences with me they can send them to the following email address.

Dear Sai brethren,

I have been wanting to write about my experience since a long time and am now doing so through my sister. Me and all my family are great devotees of Sai Baba and I often visit the Sai temple close to my home whenever I can, especially on Thursdays. I live at Pune and so does another of my sisters. Her elder child, a son was trying very hard to get into the merchant navy and also underwent the mandatory training and exams. He was successful and was waiting for the call from one of the shipping companies. His mother was naturally worried as his birthday was nearing and after that there would be absolutely no chances of him getting a breakthrough as he would be over-age. I could not bear the tension this was causing her and all of us and so I prayed hard to our Sainath that some miracle should take place soon as there was just a week for his birthday. I also had vowed that I would offer sheera as prasad and a shawl to the Sai temple near my home. Anyway I visited the temple that day itself and prayed hard again. It was really a great miracle of our Sainath that my nephew got a call the next day itself to join the ship. Our joy knew no bounds when we heard this. I then fulfilled the vow I had undertaken. My nephew has been working very well since then in a good shipping company and is doing very well. This is about 18 months ago and I am sorry for writing about it so late. All I want to say is a big Thank You to our Sai Baba and I must say to all my brethren that He really tests us to the limit sometimes before listening to our prayers. He just wants us to have faith in Him and patience.

Om Sai Ram.

I would like to share a recent experience. I appealed in one of my earlier mails that we had constructed a small Saibaba mandir in our colony a few years back to promote spiritual culture among our colonies. But due to unfortunate circumstances we were not able to run the activities attarcting more devotees. Our financial position is equally bad. But we decided to install the idol of Sri Dattatreya on the last Datta Jayanti on 21.12.1999 inspite of poor inflow of funds. We appealed to many but with little repsonse. When some of our members approached me to loan some amount for the function,I told that I would not like to loan, but will give what I wanted to contribute. But some devine power made me say that I will raise atleat Ra.5000/- through donations. I could not succeed in my efforts. On Datta Jayanti day we completed installationof the idol more than our expectations and to my surprise we had good number of devotees who donated generously. The biggest surprise is that we received from three overseas donors some contributions which none could understand till they shared with me. The amount collected was slightly more than Rs5000/-.These donations are following my earlier appeal in this mail. So Baba fulfilled my committment indirectly through these unknown donors. What more miracle is needed to prove his mercy on poor devotees who were helpless at one stage.

I want to share the saying of Baba " You look at me and I will surely look after you". Jai Sree Sairam.

I got married in December 1998 and flew with my husband(Raghu) to USA in the same month.I was a devotee of saibaba from a young age.As i got married,as any girl would dream of was entering a different phase of my life with lot of hopes in store for the future.Baba blessed me with a very good husband,not forgetting to mention the kind of husband I wanted.After reaching USA,my husband was on bench for almost 5 months,by the grace of Baba the company paid during the bench period.As my husband was in IBM/mainframes and as we all know the situation worsened during the time of june 98 when the software companies started sending people back to India.My husband was also told to go back to India and no assurance of job was given in India.The worst thing was my husband's H1 was expiring in Sept of 98 and mo companies came forward to take up the processing for H1. Lord Sai was always with us during the crisis.During this period myself and my husband would always spend time in websites such as www.saibaba.org /www.shirdisai.org and this particular website.As we share our experiences and pray to Baba telling about our problems in devotees corner ,we got to make friendship with lot of sai devotees who

were as kind as sai himself.They gave us a lot of encouragement and support.They gave us a renewed hope that we could do it and sai would assist us.This is the period during which our faith in sai grew and we

became close to Lord Sai.He is the most wonderful father who caters to all the needs of his children. What more do we want from SAI,my husband got an offer on gurupoornima Day.We were very happy.But there were still some bad deeds which we had done in the past,that after the offer we had to wait for 4months to be placed in a project.Finally,in the month of november my husband got a project and an offer for permanent position. Now we have come to such a belief in sai that we believe him to be the father for both of us and living with us and guiding us and supporting us.Every day when we consume our food we offer it to sai.My husband does even have a snack without offering to his dear father.We got a tremondous faith in Sai.As i am writing this i am feeling really over whelmed because i have been trying to post this experience since november and Baba made it possible today.I am really very happy today.
