DWARKAMAI's MIRACLES.(She is our Mother)

Shiva Prasad
Last month my parents and me were traveling from Gulbarga, India, in a train, in which some one through the window pulled my moms chain, me sitting next to her I could not even help her. I thought for a minute I lost the chain, as people say something goes wrong in life we blame GOD. The same thing happened with me too, after some time I became cool and apologized to SAI for blaming for the theft. After one month police people have called us to pick up the chain which is been found Now tell me how should I thank SAI for all this, being a human being I can only say thanks SAI.

One more miracle is last week wife; my mom and me went to my native where my mom still mentally disturbed about the incident, which mentioned above. So I asked SAI before leaving home please be with us whole trip. When we reached the railway station at the entrance, we saw SAI idol smiling at us. My mom got some courage to travel by train. And then every 30 minutes I use to find SAI photos, rings on some people fingers but any time I look at any place I use to find SAI photos, whole week this happened, I just use to smile at SAI and thanking him for being with us. At the end when we reached Bangalore back, we saw SAI photo with words saying "SHUB YATHRA " now I leave it to you how I would have felt about this. I can't explain my happiness. I request all SAI devotees tell Sai stories to other people who does not know about Sai, where we can help other people to get the blessings of SAI BABA. SRI SAI JAYA SAI JAYA JAYA SAI. Thanks Sai for everything

I would like to share my joy that I felt when I first visited Shirdi this August. I have become a Sai devotee for the past 9 month through a friend. She had such wonderfull things to say about Lord Sai that I was moved emotionally. I made my mind then and there that this time when I visit India I have to go to Shridi. We had planned a long journey and my husband was worried how our 6year old daughter would take it as she is or shall I say was a wheezing child. But the 15day trip which ended in Shridi was beautiful. My daughter who frquently falls sick with infection and wheezing was totally hale and hearty. We stayed for 2 days in Shridi and attended the Kakda Arthifor which I have no words to express my joy and bliss. It was truly magificent and I felt Lord Sai was there in personblessing all of us. I always feel He is looking over us where ever we go.I am very grateful to my friend who told me about the greatness of Lord Sai. We returned back from India with a feeling of peace and contentment. This trip was really unforgetable on two issues going to Shridi and my daughters health which has remarkable improved after we have come in contact with Lord Sai.OM SAI RAM

This is regarding the fact that if we take one step towards Baba, he takes 10 steps towards us. My younger brother has not been able to get a suitable job until date. I have been advising him to read the Satcharitha for so many months. Finally, he gave up before Baba, and wanted to read the book. But he could not get the book in a place like Delhi, where he has been searching for the past 2-3 weeks, and I am in Dubai. Recently our friends had been to Shirdi so they brought me a book. Since I already had a Satcharitha for myself, I wanted to send this over to him. But no one I knew was going to Delhi, and I was so desperate that I wanted to send it by post although it would have been expensive.

Now, this miracle took place. My neighbor's cousin had unexpectedly called up. He incidentally came from Delhi on and office work and said he was going back in a couple of days. He came to meet this friend of mine after several years. She did not know that I was looking for someone, since we met in the corridor, and were talking, she casually mentioned that she was busy that day as her cousin was coming over from Delhi I went and handed the book over to him. Since he is also a Baba devotee he said he knew the value of the book himself and will in fact arrange it to be sent over to my brother's place He said most probably he would be reaching Delhi on Wednesday night so the book will be delivered on Thursday. This is a real miracle. And I know this is not just coincidental and is Baba's leela.

Let me share this experience with you all. With Sai's help, I came to USA for doing my Masters. Me coming to US was completely impossible because I did not have even any money. Due to financial difficulties I dropped my plans to come to US and was looking for job with lot of disappointed. None came forward to give money even as loan. But Baba knew how much I worked hard during my Engineering. So Baba arranged money in his own way. My brother's friend came forward to loan some money. With that amount, I could only fly to US but I did not have money to pay for my fees. My only hope was Baba. I knew Baba would some how make the arrangement. I was expecting financial aid but I did not get any aid while I was in India. My mother was my biggest support after Baba. I got my Visa without any questions from the Visa officer. I came to USA with just 100 dollars with me. I had 15 days time to pay my fees. I was looking for a research assistant position. Days were passing and I did not get financial aid. I almost lost hope. Only five more days were left to pay my fess, I was almost in tears and I cried like anything in front of Baba. Guess what, one of the Professor himself called me next day and said that he will give me assistantship. I was shocked. So my Professor paid my fees and he used to pay me little amount, which was just sufficient for my living. But I had some responsibilities back in India, but I had no money to send them.

Due to this, I was very much worried, I applied for other University and I got admission but no financial aid. Again I just beloved in Baba and joined the new school in summer. There also within one week I got assistantship with pay almost four times more than what I used to get at my previous school. Everyone was so surprised seeing at me because there were students who did not get assistantship even after one year. This is also Baba's miracle.

Even though I had money to send home, I did not enjoy the work I was doing. I was feeling very difficult to concentrate. I became lazy. I was cheating myself all the time. After couple of months, I realized and I started working but there was lot of pending work. I lied to my Professor that I was progressing with my thesis but actually, I was not getting results. I had a conference paper due. I was working day and night on that, since I knew if I do not get results then my Professor will know that I was not working all these days. The deadline was approaching for the paper submission I had no results to shown. I was very much worried. Some evil thought came to mind that I will manipulate the results. I changed the results and submitted the paper. Since my Professor was out of town, he did not check the results. I was thinking that after submitting the paper I can work to get the results. I tried a lot but I did not get the results. I was so upset. Next day my Professor asked for results. I started literally shivering. But Baba in very different way saved me. (To be continued)

Baba.. Baba.., I do not know how many times I chant this name in a day. I strongly feel that, Baba is with me always and I never lost faith on my beloved God. Baba, You know very well that I always take your permission to do all major tasks and with out the sign of your approval, I won't do anything. I strongly wish that all things must happen in our lives according to your wish only, but not according to our choice. Baba, you blessed us with good comfortable jobs and we are indebted to you always for everything you provided us. In the same way please shower your blessings on my mother, father, grandmother and brothers. And also I wish you to bless all living things in this world.

I would like to share one of Sai Baba's blessings: I am very bad at my studies during graduation. I worked hard but I could not do well in my exams. But every Sunday I used to offer one rose flower and some sweet to Sai Baba and ask him to help me in passing my examinations. After the examination if I look at my answer sheet I was 100% sure that I will fail. You will not believe, I had 70% in all my semesters. No one would believe this not even my Lecturers. Just for one rose flower and sweet Sai Baba showered his blessings on me to complete my graduation without any problems. (Out of all Sai Baba's blessings towards me this is just one small one)

Om Sai Sri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai. First, I would like to thank SAIVICHAR for giving me such a nice opportunity to share my experience as Sai devotee. I also would like to thank all Sai devotees who are sharing their experiences with the rest of us. By reading these articles my devotion towards BABA is increasing. I knew very less about BABA before going thru this SAIVICHAR. I am devotee of BABA for almost 10 years now. I have seen so many miracles in my life. I would like to share two of them.

I got a good rank in MCA by Baba's grace. My plan was to join in a good college for MCA. So, I was waiting for counseling. But BABA had some different plans for me. One fine day my sisters friend gave me a copper kind of ring, which she brought from Shirdi. Just five minutes after wearing that ring, one of my friends called up and told me that there are recruitments in one of the most reputed companies in the world. After that, things happened so fast. I applied for that job, and I got into it. This was almost 7 years back. Now I am in US still working for the same company. I got married to a very nice person who also works in that organization. I am so thankful to BABA for giving me such a comfortable life.

After marrying for 3 years, we were blessed with a baby boy. Everything went on so well till my due date. But during delivery time, my son had to undergo lot of pressure because of which he was kept under observation for one week. A day after, he had seizures also. We were so scared. We could do nothing except praying BABA. The hospital in which he was kept was 60 miles away from our place. My husband used to go daily once, sit there for couple of hours and come back. On 5th day, I too went to see my son. Felt so bad to see him in ICU. We went thru hell kind of a situation for that one week. After one week, he came home. From then on, he did just normal like any other baby. Doctors were not positive about his regular growth. They said that he might fall behind in his regular growth. But with BABA's grace, he is healthy. When he was 8 months old, after checking my son, doctor said that it's a miracle to see him so healthy. But all the time we were cursing doctors thinking that for without any reason they are doing all kinds of medical tests. After reading the experiences of Sai devotees, I realized that its the miracle of BABA but not the mistake of Doctors. Thanks a lot BABA. Thank you very much.

Though I was not a staunch devotee, I did believe in Saibaba's Supreme Power. My marriage was scheduled to be performed in November. Due to some inconvenience on my husband's side, the date was advanced to October, with a strict word from the marriage hall's owner that we would have to forgo the whole amount if there was going to be another change. However, 10 days before marriage my husband called up and said we could not have it in October due to some problem with his visa papers. My parents were shattered. I did not know what to do, and put the burden on God. I reached a stage when I thought I would rather go to Hell than experiencing this pain. But one night suddenly I felt Baba asking me to listen to His songs. Dutifully, I did. I not only felt better, but also felt like listening to it forever. My heart became light. My mind was free now. When I was sleeping one afternoon, I again got a feeling that Baba wanted me to visit His temple far away from my house. We had not gone there before and so my parents were thinking of how to take me there. At that time, my dad's friend came and said He would take us to the temple. We went there at just the right time for aarthi. I prayed that there should not be any change of date. But a huge blow came on the next day when my husband called up and told he would not be able to come for sure in October. Therefore, my parents prepared to forgo the money and fixed it for a different date. I still clinged to my Hope that Baba would make me get married on the same date. Just the night before my parents were about make a fresh payment, my husband called up and said he had obtained his visa and would be there for the wedding as scheduled. I was astonished. He was right when He said, "If you take one step towards me I shall a hundred towards you"

Swati
I have been a devotee of my dear loving Baba for almost 3 years now and I am happy that He has drawn me towards Him. My only prayer to Him always is that He should never separate me from His Lotus feet and keep me in His path of devotion. I have always felt Baba's presence around me and talking about one experience would be like a drop in the mighty ocean. By Baba's grace, I have been able to visit Shirdi twice in the last 2 years. The first year when I went to Shirdi, I was a girl who had absolutely no confidence in herself, someone who shied away from friends and relatives due to a sense of very low self -esteem since, being an engineering graduate, I had not been able to get a good job for almost 4 years. I had started doubting my own capabilities. That year, when Baba called me to Shirdi, I prayed to Him that if I get a good job soon, I would visit Shirdi the same year. And as per His assurance, He did get me a job .My job, a very good one, literally came walking into my hands and by His grace I performed excellently in my assignments. I had started on a very low salary. The management was pleased with my performance and within a span of 6 months, I got three increments. Accordingly, I started praying to Baba that, now that He has fulfilled my prayers, He should call me to Shirdi now. That too happened very soon. Last December, my parents, sister, uncle and three aunts set out on our way to Shirdi. We boarded a bus to Shirdi from Bombay and reached there at 3:30 AM in the morning. Since it was the Christmas day, the crowd in Shirdi was just too much. The bus in which we would come was supposed to pick us up at 12:30 the same day to leave for Bombay and my parents and me were supposed to leave for our native the day after. My father told me that there was no way we could attend the noon aarti. We saw the Kakad arti on the television sitting outside the Samadhi Mandir .I thought that if not for aarti, I would at least go and have darshan of Baba and place my head at His Samadhi. However, by the time all of us had our breakfast and my aunts and sister did some shopping for Baba's pendants, cassettes, statue, etc., it was 11:00. I was very upset by this time, since I was waiting for them and now it seemed almost impossible to go in since the queue was too long. People had queued up from morning 7:00 for the aarti at 12:00.Everyone told me that I should be happy that at least I got a chance to come to Shirdi. I was however not able to control my tears. The very thought that Baba had called me to Shirdi and not allowed me near His Samadhi was making it unbearable for me. I started praying to Baba that I wanted to touch His samadhi, or else I would have no peace of mind .I decided in my mind that I would come to Shirdi all alone very soon when it was not a holiday season, since by now it was very clear that there was absolutely no way I could go in and have Darshan. All were dejected. I felt my journey was fruitless. I was going on questioning Baba in my mind as to why He was making this happen to me. Just then, I saw my uncle speaking to a man. Before we could ask anything, he was off with that man somewhere only to return with special entrance passes. My joy knew no bounds. Before I could know anything, I was inside the Samadhi Mandir, taking in the warmth and love emanating from my dear, dear Baba.I could not believe that one moment I was out crying and now I was inside touching Baba's Samadhi .We were there for almost 6 - 8 minutes .I cannot narrate the peace, joy and happiness, I felt within after that. I was only thanking Baba repeatedly for listening to me once again. I asked my uncle how he managed to get the special entrance pass. He told that the man he was speaking to be a very old friend of his and happened to be a trustee of the temple. But it is a miracle that in that crowd, he happened to meet my uncle and recognise him and offered to give him the passes. I am convinced that it was Baba who had sent him to my uncle and that this was just one of His innumerable Leelas for his devotees. Baba has always pampered me the way a mother pampers her young one and caters to all its whims and fancies. I thank Baba for all His love, beg, and pray to Him that he continues to bestow His grace on me. God, my mother, help me to follow your teachings and be a good person in life.

I would like t o you bout how I became a devotee of Sai Baba. I am a student at a university in the U.K. I had just finished my second year, I did well. However, after the exams in summer, I became very depressed for no reason. I started crying from June until September. I would not know why I was crying, I had no reason. I felt as if I had nothing and felt like committing suicide. I had to leave University, even though I had a year of studying left.

My family thought there was something I was not telling them, they thought something terrible had happened to me as if I was pregnant. I told them I did not know why I was feeling like this. I was going mental, I just wanted to sit on my bed in silence and do nothing.

My mother then decided to take me to the Sai healing centre in Leicester (U.K), there a very strong Sai devotee who speaks to Baba told her that someone had done witchcraft on me. She healed me and gave me vibhuti to take with water.

When I went to a Sai temple, I concentrated on the murti of Shirdi Sai Baba. Suddenly, I started crying like a baby for no reason and I could not stop. My whole body was shivering and I could not stop it. When a devotee gave me some vibhuti in water, I stopped. Ever since, I feel like my self now. I thank Sai Baba and love him very much. I hope helps everyone like he did with me.

I would like to post my experiences in Shirdi and with Sai Sat Charitra, i.e. With Saibaba himself. I read many books of philosophy and religious scriptures and I had started feeling subtle vibrations at holy places like temples and pilgrimages. Once, two of my friends and me wanted to visit Shirdi. We reached Shirdi and had darshan at the Samadhi temple. It felt nice, however I could not feel much vibrations there although I felt a feeling of calmness, serenity and silence.

Then we went for the darshan of Gurusthan and then to Masjid Mai, We had darshan of dhuni and then opposite to the dhuni was the stone on which Baba used to sit. Devotees were placing their heads on the stone and I stood near the stone waiting for the small queue to get over.

As I was standing, I felt as if someone was hitting my legs with the sand. I was wearing jeans and when I looked down there was nothing to be seen hitting my legs still the feeling was the same and soon the feeling took over the other parts of the body. My friends had the same feeling. I had never felt the subtle vibrations so strong, ever. I was getting overwhelmed. We stood in the queue, which was reduced to about three devotees. I placed both my hands on the stone and then the head. What great energy I felt. Whole of my vertebrae column was vibrating and I felt energy rushing between my eyebrows. I stayed there for about 3 minutes. My friends later told that a devotee wanted to disturb me as there were devotees waiting in the queue. But another devotee stopped him by saying "Achi Bhakti kar raha hai" ( he is doing good devotion). I was like a drunk with the divine energy of Baba. I sat besides the stone enjoying the bliss and the energy I was receiving. Both my friends had the same energy. We sat there and again and again put our heads on the holy stone with the same effect. The feeling of that great energy the presence was felt even when we reached hotel and thereafter for few days. This presence is always felt when ever I go to the holy land Shirdi.

We had bought Sai Baba’s pictures, the original one with the umbrella. After reaching home, I was watching the photo and the energy began to rise within and without. What energy that is, one thing is sure that such energy cannot be created by us, but can only be received by grace. I feel so thankful to merciful Baba who showers this grace on unworthy child like me. Whenever I feel this presence, I am sure that it cannot be produced by my efforts.

Once I got impatient and thought why I cannot have this energy every second of the day. I want to be in the same energy always (I still have this feeling). So, I decided that I would sit watching Baba’s picture until I get the self-realization. I decided that I will do nothing else but keep watching Baba’s picture. I watched the picture for about an hour. I thought that I should also read Sai Sat Charitra, as the energy felt was too much.

I casually opened the book and began to read. The chapters 18 and 19th, chapters had the story of the author who had the similar thought of impatience. Baba had sent him to chitchat with another devotee Shama. Shama then narrated the story of Mrs. Radhabai Deshmukh, who had decided and gave up food until Baba gave her a mantra. Then Baba called her and told her his own story where he had said that he had served his Guru for long and his guru had asked for two paise. Those were Shraddha (faith) and Saburi (patience). Here I was struck with the word patience with great impact and also in the second last paragraph the words To some devotee, who was practicing Hath-Yoga, He sent word that he should leave off Hath-Yoga practices, sit quiet and wait (Saburi) struck me. I then left the idea of hath and decided to remember and watch his picture with Saburi. Here I remember the Shree Ramakrishna Paramhansa’s words that how could one who think about consciousness get unconscious. So how can one who watches the picture of consciousness incarnate get unconscious? I still meditate on Baba’s picture and feel this consciousness within and without. I was also very much against the miracles. There is a very good book Meher Baba on Sai Baba. In which Meher Baba had explained they perform miracles so that they can attract devotees and give them what they want them to give. Also, there is nothing like miracles. Our small mind when it sees something happening, that is beyond its grasp it calls it miracle. Nothing was and is beyond Baba’s grasp. For instance, television, or phone or radio or even switching of the light bulb would be termed as miracles by the people living in 15th century. In the similar manner, many times when I would feel troubled and casually read Sai Sat Charitra. I had opened the chapters that would get my agitated mind and lead it to peace. Other great thing about this blessed book the invaluable gift to us by Baba is that even holding it makes me feel the presence. Once I was in deep emotional pain. I felt that the very roots of my being were shaken and I choose to get in this painful experiences rather than avoiding them. The pain was deep and I thought I would go mad by this painful experience. My body was paralyzed by the emotional pain and I was lying on the bed. At that time, I put Sai Sat Charitra on my heart I felt much energy going from the book in my heart and balanced it. The pain was there but the energy to sustain was received.

I have also bought a shawl from Sai Sansthan Shop in Shirdi and get touched by Samadhi of Baba. The shawl when placed on my body also makes me feel this presence. I had this desire of touching and placing my head on the articles used by Baba. Last time I was I Shirdi and was visiting a house of a devotee of Baba, when Baba was still in the human form. The ancestor of the devotee suddenly stood up and started showing me the articles used by Baba, the kafni, the satka, the tin pot, the footwear, which were gifted by Baba to his forefather devotee. Not only this, he insisted that I hold them for a while. There were devotees in queue before me and after me, none he asked to hold them but me. SadGuru Sainath Maharaj ki Jai.

Om Sri Sai. I want to share some of my experiences with Sai devotees. One day my wife and me went to one mall and after some time my wife realized that she lost the wristwatch. The Watch marks were showing on her left hand. And unfortunately that is my first gift, I gave to my Wife. We felt very sad and we prayed the saibaba. After return to home, surprisingly the watch was found in my home. Later, my wife went for abortion, after which she faced health problems and she got frustrated with her health problems. At the same time I started the Sai Baba seven days Parayanam. After completing the seven days Parayanam, my wife recovered back to Normal. Om Sri Sai, thank you sri shirdi sai baba

Shri Sai Baba had made his presence on many occasions in my life. Very recently, my sister's daughter who is just one year old was choked as my sister was feeding the baby. As a result the baby could not breathe ad her face turned pale blue. Then she was taken to the hospital on emergency. On my way to the hospital, I cried to Baba and asked Him to be there with her as she was a special gift to us sent to our family by Baba Himself. My sister gave birth to this special daughter after she constantly read the Satcharitha. The child was again transferred from Al Wasl Hospital -Dubai to Dubai Hospital,-Deira. I always carry a picture of Baba's feet in my coat pocket. I kept that on the child's chest and put some Udhi on her forehead, which my sister carried with her. The baby started vomiting the mashed food through her nostrils and mouth when I first met her in the Al Wasl hospital while waiting for the tests to be done. That is when we bowed down in prayers to Baba on the bed that she was first kept. Slowly, the baby regained her normal breathing. Together, we were sobbing, tears rolled down our eyes when the baby was taken from us into the Operation theatre. I cried to Baba, asking him to be inside the operation theatre and do the needful. I saw my sister crying and holding the picture of Baba's feet to her heart and uttering Baba please save my child. Within me, I heard these words" Tell your sister, what is the necessity to cry, when I am here. Doesn't she have faith in me ". The very same moment , I told my sister "Don't doubt on this precious gift given to us by Baba. When he has blessed us with her , he will also look into her welfare. After the operation, was done the Doctor came out to say, that there was nothing to worry. The lungs and the passage were clear. Everything had come out when she vomited probably. I thanked the Doctor. The Doctor said, thank God. Baba is always there with us.
