Title: Experiences of Devotees
Post by: SS91 on November 27, 2005, 12:54:29 PM
Experiences of Devotees

Dtd. 1st October 1998.

OM SHRI SHIRDI SAI NADHA SARANAM

I would like to share the experience of my Brother's fiancée (Ms.Uma Keerthivasan) being an Ardent Lord Sai devotee.

Three years ago when we were in Godavarikhani and when I was in my Graduation, My younger sister Bharathi was a great Devotee of Sai and she painted a SAI Image and kept it in POOJA room.

My sister believed on SAI very much and used to pray Sai daily and she got a seat in M.C.A. She asked me too to follow SAI and asked me to do "Sai's one week PARAYANAM" and Said that I would M.B.A seat. I was very Lazy and I said that I can't do fasting and also I Don't believe in this.

My mother forced me and started that "Sai's one week PARAYANAM" That book contains all the stories of SAIBABA and how he helped POOR, DISABLED. Hope you must have read that book.

"Sai's one week PARAYANAM" should start on Thursday and should end on next Thursday, In this entire week we have eat only once and Sleep on the floor and on the final day of this pooja we have remain in fasting and have the food after offering the food to most wanted Beggar or poor person or a Person who cannot afford to have Food.

It is written in the book if we give food to a person Suffering from Leprosy or a Handicapped or a very hungry beggar, BABA will be very happy and he will come to our house in the some or the other form.

So on the final Thursday I was fasting and was waiting for a Beggar so that I can give food, But in that place Sighting a beggar was very rare and nobody came that day. I was waiting near the gate till 3 PM. then my mother told me to give the food or Servant as She was also poor, But I didn't agree I said she was poor but she can afford to buy vegetables and prepare lunch and have it.

I wanted a Handicapped person I was very determined and made up my mind that I was end this fasting till I find a Suitable person. Mummy was forcing since my elder brother who was very close to me was waiting was my lunch at last mother told to keep some food aside for a poor beggar and have my lunch.

I told that I will a last glance and went to the gate and found a Very old lady was passing by and she was handicapped and she was the right person. I called her and said that today I did Sai Baba's Pooja and asked her to have the Lunch in our house.
She was very happy and she said that she did not have food from past few days my sons are very bad and they don't take care of me & they have sent me out. and she was moving her handicapped hand so that I can notice.

Mummy asked from which place she is coming and belong to and she told that our native place is GodavariKhani which is also our Native place. We felt so pity on her and my second brother asked her to come daily to our house and have the lunch here itself.

We gave her prasadam, rice, poori and everything we prepared. She ate only prasadam and said that I will take the rest in the evening, I told her I will give you food for evening also, and have the food here itself. She said NO NO I ATE PRASADAM AND STOMACH IS FULL. She thanked us so much for giving food and she went off.
First we came inside and my brother said we will find Address So that we can send food, we came outside only in the matter 15 to 20 seconds gap, but we could not see her. From our gate we can see people coming and going for almost Half Kilometer.

she was very weak and it has taken her almost 1 Min to come from previous house to our house but we could not trace her we tried a lot even by coming outside.

Then we thought it was Saibaba who came to our house in the form of a OLD LADY and I was very happy. From that time I started worshipping Sai Baba and I got a M.B.A seat.

Dear shawlinca,

baba sai can never be upset with his kids. sai baba is personification of your faith. the more you believe sai, the closer you feel sai natha to you. baba sai is beyond all these angry, etc.


baba will never leave his kids. baba is in you and all , even in them who don't believe him. baba is universal mother , the kartha , karma and kriya. he is witness to all of our actions. so brother, believe sai, once you have unshakable faith on sai baba, you will never feel down, beacuse, failure or success are baba blessings to us. have faith on baba, you faith should be beyond all these failures and success, that is call "surrender to baba".

"faith can move mountains"

have confidence in yourself, beacuse it is baba sai in you. develop this belief. baba will be with you. baba is with you.

baba is our faith. that is why baba asks dakshina of" shradha and Saburi".

offer yourself to baba. rest sai will take care. beacuse you are baba's responsibility.

Jai Sai Ram,
Dear Forum Members,

I have a bit of confusion, i hope you all will help me in that.

I read it some where in the forum that BABA never preffered Fasting or Starving. Then why are we keeping these fasts?

I am sorry if i did offend some one. Forgive me for that. I am in a dillema, and confused with all these.

I would like every ones suggestions and feedback on this.

Thanks,
Ritesh Arora

SAIRAM Ritesh ji

Happy Mahara Sankranti to you and all your family members.

We pray Lord SaiBaba daily but special prayers are offered on  

Thursaday.

Fasting todtally depends upon person to person.
 

On thursday it is usually Sai baba who is worshipped.

In fact, Baba never recommended fasting on empty stomach.

So, just avoid salt & spices on this day.

You can have fruits, milk, and some nuts once or twice on the

fasting day.

It depends on your mental ability.

The pooja vidhi can be at your will since Sai baba doesn't demand

anything like this.

U just can chant sai namam for 108 times and also read Sai

Ashtotharam and also Sai charita.

There is a story that a devotee asked Baba how to fast.

Baba once told  the following,

"At noon on Thursdays, eat half of what you normally eat.

Then pack a lunch and deliver it to a poor person.

" Devotee told him that in there did not seem to be any poor people

around the city - to which He replied,

 "Yes, there is a homeless lady in your city.

Give the lunch to her.

" And as said by Baba he finds a poor lady nearby ouside on the road

asking for food.

But according to Lord SaiBaba he does not want people to fast,

he wants more concentration & devotion than fasting.




Fasting by Gokhale’s Wife

Gokhale’s wife came to Shirdi with some devotees known to Dada Kelkar. She stayed in his house. She desired to undertake fasting for three days and be with Baba. But Baba told her, "Mother, there is no need to undertake fasting. Go to Dada Bhat’s house, prepare puranpolis (sweet stuffed chapatis) and feed his children and you also eat." On that day Bhat’s wife was indisposed. Hence, Baba’s advice appeared to be timely. Accordingly to his advice she prepared puranpolis, served the others and ate some. Fasting is only a method of regulating the digestive system and nothing more. To think that one gets some divine benefit from that is only a misconception. Apart from not getting any benefit, fasting makes a person weak with the result that one cannot attend to one’s normal duties. Those who worship Baba can take food and then worship him.
Sai bless you always.

jai sai ram!

Experience of the week : Padma

 

I would like to share an experience that happend to me in 2003. I passed out Computer Science and Enginnering in 2003. I was searching for a job once I passed out desperately. It was so imporatnt to me as we were in a position fully dependant on my earnings and I was the bread winner of my family. I tried attending many aptitude tests in many companies but could not get through. On October 18th 2003, I left roughly around 7:30 for a walk-in interview in Loyola College in Chennai. The college was so crowded that it was so difficult to even get the form to fill for the aptitude test. Once I got the form I filled it and all of us were redirected to take the aptitude test. We took the aptitude test in the afternoon and waited for around two hours to get the results. To my joy I found that I has cleared the aptitude test and was short-listed for the technical interview round. I appeared for the technical interview in the evening . Before even I could start wondering whether they would select me or not, the HR came and told me immediately that I had cleared the technical round and asked me to wait for HR round. I was overjoyed and I had to wait anoter 45 minutes for the HR round. I attended that also and I was told they ll intimate the results ASAP. I went home at night and told me mother what all happened. She told me that all the day she was not able to concentrate on her normal work from morning to late evening and she was reading only Sai Satcharitra all the time when I was undergoing the selection process. After few days I got a mail from the HR to collect the offer letter from them. I was one among very few who got a job from a huge crowd of around 10,000 freshers who attended the walk-in. I joined the company the next month. What else other than Sai's grace could have bagged me the job. Today I have completed 3 years in the company and now I am in UK on an overseas assignment. JAI SAI.

Om Sai Ram.

This is my experience from 22 years ago. That time we were living in India. I was expecting our second child. We tried three times to get a US visa, but it was refused. One day, Sai Baba came in my dream and told me "visa mil jayega," which means "you will get Visa." We were wondering why this would be possible because it was refused three times. One day we got an offer from Canada, which was refused before. The university where my husband was offered a job wanted him to join as soon as possible. For the Canadian visa, a physical exam was required and it takes some time for processing. So my husband went to the Canadian consulate and explained the situation. And to our surprise and by Baba's grace, she said no problem! She told my husband to go straight to the doctor's office and get it done. She called the doctor's office and told them to give the reports to my husband. (Doctors are not normally allowed to give the reports) The next day, my husband had the physical exam, picked the reports and went to the consulate with the reports. By Sai Baba's blessing it was all right and she gave the visa. Next week my husband came to Canada and I joined him after with our two sons. Today, we are living in Canada happily with Sai Baba's blessings. May Sai Baba's blessings remain with all of us. My koti koti namasakar to his holy feet.

OM Sai Shri Sai Jai Jai Sai.

Title: give up ur favourite food till ur wish is fulfilled
Post by: adwaita on March 02, 2007, 02:40:33 AM
Let me begin with one of my experiences of baba’s leelas.
I am reading satcharita since 3 years. I remain debited to the chapters written by hemadpant ji because of which I am now what I am. I came across a chapter in satcharita where a person leaves his favorite dish unless his wish is fulfilled. It became my habit of practicing this deed from the day I read this chapter. When I was studying mca I thought of leaving cottage cheese (panneer) to baba unless I pass. Finally we got our results and because of babas grace I passed and got good marks. Later on I got a good job and I had some personal problem. I took an oath that I won’t eat panneer until my wish fulfills. Every day I used to be very careful as I have my dinner in the office cafeteria. One day my manager announced overtime and they contributed dinner to each and every one. The dinner was paneer and aaloo roll. My manager brought all the rolls and asked me to distribute them to everyone and take one. I just thought that they are veg rolls and never had an idea that there are paneer rolls in them. I gave all the rolls and took one for me. Now comes the main part.  Every one got paneer roll except me. I was amazed and thanked baba for helping me. that is how baba helps his devotees and supports them. om sai ram.

Baba always comes to the rescue. Another excerpt from SSC:

Ganges-Bath
On one Makar-Sankranti day, Megha wanted to besmear the body of Baba with sandal-paste and bathe Him with Ganges water. Baba was first unwilling to undergo this operation, but at his repeated requests, He consented. Megha had to traverse a distance of eight koss (going and returning) to bring the sacred water from the Gomati river. He brought the water, made all preparations for the bath at noon and asked Baba to get ready for the same. Then Baba again asked him to be freed from his bath saying that, as a Fakir He had nothing to do (or gain) with Ganges water; but Megha did not listen. He knew that Shiva is pleased with a bath of Ganges water and that he must give his Shiva (Baba) that bath on that auspicious day. Baba then consented, came down and sat on a pat (wooden board) and protruding his head said - "Oh Megha, do at least this favour; head is the most important organ of the body, so pour the water over that only-it is equivalent to the full or whole bath." "Alright" said Megha and lifting the water pot up, began to pour it on the head but in doing this he was so much overwhelmed with love that he cried out 'Har Gange' and emptied the pot on the whole body. He kept the pot aside and began to look at Baba, but to his surprise and amazement he found that Baba's head was only drenched but the body quite dry.

Even though Megha forgot is promise baba saves him

I know my baba would never go against my wish. My oath still continued and day by day I became more careful. Because of my personal problems I thought of going to babas temple every Sunday and go for 108 pradarshanas. I wish to serve baba every week. As soon as I enter the temple I feel like I am going to my mother’s place which is dwarakamai. Dwarakamaai will ward off everyone’s dangers and will protect her children. One first Sunday I thought of going to babas mandir. But I was lazy to get up. However I got a call at 8 am which was a wrong number. I still didn’t get up. At 8:30 am I got one more call from some bank. I talked to the person but I didn’t get up and went back to sleep. At 10am I got a dream where I ate paneer by mistake and was crying like anything thinking that everything is over and now my wish will never fulfill. I got afraid so much that I go up all of the sudden just to know that it was a dream. Then I realized that this is one babas ways to keep his bhakthas in discipline. I realized my mistake and rushed to mandir and prayed that It should not be closed till I finished my pradarshanas and obviously it didn’t. That is how my god is. What more miracles do we want?
Title: My experience with mother Sai
Post by: adwaita on March 04, 2007, 06:13:44 AM
How I started worshipping baba

Let me tell about how I became baba’s devotee. It was in 2004 I guess, when things were not well at my home. Earlier I was like a mad person who will not believe in god that much. I used to go to shivalayam once in a while, that’s all. I used to neglect god. Never listen to my parents. And I was a person full of ego. I used to study but never got good marks. But when situations became worst, my mother and I went to an astrologer. I was not at all interested on it and told my mother that it is our fate and no astrologer can change it. Going to an astrologer and wearing a ring which he recommends doesn’t do any good to us. It all depends upon our karma and that’s it. But still my mother wanted to try. The lady started telling my sister’s and my future. I did not listen a single bit what she was telling. But at one movement she mentioned that this girl is blessed with sai’s grace. Sai will always protect her. And asked me to pray baba every time. It was a wonderful movement. All of the sudden it stroked me. I felt as if my life was filled with light at that time. I decided to start a new life with babas grace. I wanted to worship baba. But then, you can’t become babas devotee unless he wishes. Unless he wishes not even a single leaf can move. The advice from that lady was timely. We went to her on Thursday. It looked as if baba sent us there purposely. om sai ram.

Post by: adwaita on March 04, 2007, 07:53:44 AM
Baba showed his wonder again by the following situation saying that its time we started worshipping baba. My sister and I never had so many friends. There was one phase in our life where we were madly chatting with others wasting our valuable time. It was then my sister came across a person who advised her to read Sai Satcharita every day. He also gave us the link where we can find the 50 chapters. He used to advice us everyday about baba. Then we accessed that website and started reading satcharita. This is how baba shows the path to his kids. He recognized us right before we realized that there are so many valuable things which we can do instead of wasting time doing useless things. We decided to thank that person on yahoo chat who has given us an excellent advice, but we never came across that person being online again. We were shocked and realized how stupid we were. We both didn’t utter a word and continued with our daily routines. We individually thought that it was baba who came and advised us but both never confessed each other. The next day we both discussed that it was a signal from baba to open our eyes. Being the first miracle from baba to us, we were in shock for few days. In fact we were scarred a bit as it was our personal experience. This is how Sai invited us into his ocean of leelas. And we started worshipping baba right then and left the bad addiction of chatting online and wasting time.  Om Sai Ram.
Title: How Sai arranged my trip to shirdi
Post by: adwaita on March 07, 2007, 02:40:14 AM
My trip to shiridi

At last the day came when I was about to see baba. As all of my relatives had the good fortune of visiting shirdi and hava baba’s darshan, only our family was left out. We never visited shirdi till last year. When ever I used to cry in front of baba’s photo that I wanted to come to shirdi, he used to comfort me saying “the time has to come or his malik should give the permission. Unless his malik wills no one can enter the masjid.” But I used to feel disappointed. Last year we decided to go to shirdi after my sister got married. My brother in law booked all the tickets and made all arrangements.  Finally the day came when we were starting from secunderabad to manmad from manmad express. We got ready to reach the station. Not predicting the traffic in Hyderabad we started 1 ½ hr earlier but still we had to miss the train. Even though we reached on time we came to know that the timings of the train has been changed and It started 2 hrs earlier. I thought that it is our fate and baba still does not want me to come to shirdi. How can he do this to me…. Tears were about to roll from my eyes. All our family members stood there with a great disappointment. We were all dumb found. I was praying baba and asking him so many questions. We were in helpless situation. I wanted the train to come back. I was thinking the people might so lucky to get into that train. My brother in law went to the enquiry to cancel the tickets. A person at the counter told him that there is one more train which goes to shirdi. But it will go till nagarsol and not manmad.  He also told us to cancel the tickets for manamad exp and board the other train after hearing the announcement and not to buy the tickets now as we were already late.  But we had no idea, on which platform the train is. My brother in law was waiting for the announcement. After a while they made an announcement which was very unclear. We thought it might be regarding some other train but my brother in law got it right and we rushed to the 7th platform where the train is. We boarded the train without making any delay. No sooner we got into the train it started. cont....

Title: Re: How Sai arranged my trip to shirdi
Post by: adwaita on March 07, 2007, 03:37:47 AM
The whole train was very empty. Not even a single person was there in the compartment which we got in. We took the tickets in the train from the TC. The TC told us that the 9th compartment was a bit filled and asked us to move there. It would be very strange to hear that out of the whole train there are some 30 people only. Later on we came to know that no one generally knew about that train. It was the first day the train was running from sec’bad to nagarsol. It looked as if baba has sent us the train. I can never forget this incident in my life. We thanked baba and slept. But what I didn’t understand is why he wanted us to go in this train instead of the manmad express. I thought baba will let me know later. He might have some other plan for me. We reached nagarsol in the morning at 6am. We got down and had some refreshments and took a taxi to reach shirdi. On the way… to our amazement we found the manmad express reaching nagarsol at 8:30 am. The train was late, although it started 2 hrs early. We reached nagarsol at 6am where as it reached at 8:30 am. We were all shocked. And enquired each n every one whether it is really manmad exp. I felt like holding baba’s feet tight and crying loud. I could not stop my tears even now.  Was I eager to meet him or was he eager to see me there????? I am short of words to explain my feelings. We felt that nagarsol to shirdi is nearer than manmad to shirdi. That’s the reason nagarsol exp rather than the manmad exp. Had we got in to manmad exp we would have become late. At last we reached our holy place without any hitch. I will continue my experiences in shirdi as well…..

Sai’s aarathi

We went for darshan in the after noon and remained there for the aarathi. So many people stayed for the aarathi. Finally when we entered the Samadhi mandir, it was already filled and I got a place where I can not see baba. My heart is always filled with pleasure when I sing aarathi watching my deva’s face continuously. I was very disappointed in shirdi when I did not get the chance to see his face and sing. Every one was settled. But still I couldn’t comfort my heart that baba is everywhere and I can also see him by closing my eyes. The aarathi was about to start in 15 mins. When a person who was working there asked all the people at front to move to the other corner which was empty. Every one moved as they thought that they could go front but they can not see baba from there. As that place was few feet ahead, they simply moved forward. Now I got the place where I can see baba clearly. I was right in front of my lord. Only he knows my joy. My mother said “he likes you a lot that’s the reason he made you sit right in front of him.” I still can not forget the clear vision of his charming face. When the aarathi started, I continuously sobbed during the phrase “shirdi majhe pandaripura…….” without caring that so many people were around me. I cried and cried until aarathi was over. My mother might have thanked baba for changing a stone to a sensitive person as she never saw me crying either in happiness or in sorrow. I was a person full of arrogance and ego. But baba changed me now. Still he tests me on the way whenever I go to mandir regarding my arrogance.  Cont.... om sai ram.

As I mentioned earlier that I took an oath to leave panneer unless I pass my exams and get good marks. During this time we went to shirdi. We went to a restaurant after the darshan. I ordered a mixed veg curry in which grated panneer is added, which I am not aware of. And I noticed it after a while, but I already ate the curry. I was very worried that my pledge has been broken. I thought I might have not passed and how can something like this happen during an auspicious  day of baba’s darshan. But later on I came to know that our results are out by that time and this is how baba gave me a treat with my favorite dish. I remembered one of the chapters of SSC where a devotee is given handful of sugar which he gives up to save the expenses of his trip to shirdi. Baba, please call me to shirdi again. I want to see you. om sai ram.

Sai mala

After finishing aarathi to baba, we stood in the queue for baba’s blessings. We bought a big garland for baba, although I knew that there will be always only one garland on baba. The garlands brought by all the devotees were placed on baba’s smadhi for a while and as soon as it is filled with lot many garlands, they were removed and the Samadhi was decorated with new ones. While reaching near baba, I thought the Samadhi was about to fill with garlands and I was sure that the pujari is going to remove all of them as soon as one more is added. But to my surprise the pujari removed all the garlands just before I was reached and mine was the first to be placed on baba’s Samadhi. I felt so happy and prayed baba to be always with me like this. om sai ram.

I became busy after getting job. I neglected baba, used to read satcharita now and then but not everyday but still baba showed me the same love. There was no change. After and all baba is not one of the humans who remembers god only in calamities. Life became routine, going to office and returning. Eating, sleeping and that is it. I felt I was too busy even to go to masjid. But still baba wanted me to have his darshan on the gurupaurnima day. I pray baba but I don’t remember the important days like sri rama navami, guru paurnima etc. but this is how baba passed his message to meet him on the gurupaurnima day. Even my mother forgot to tell me tht the coming Thursday is a guru paurnima. While going to office, a lady was talking to someone on her cell phone and mentioned tht she took a leave this Thursday day as she had so much work and also she wanted to go to babas mandir as it is a gurupaurnima. Then I came to know abt that day and my mother also confirmed when I asked her. I went to our deva without fail. This is how he alarmed me, even when I was acting too busy to meet him. om sai ram.

Breaking of oath

In the moth of June 2006 we were told that there might be a change of our shift timings. The present shift was good but the news shifts would be graveyard shifts. It would be difficult for my parents to be awake till late nights just because of me and I did not like it. I was angry with our deva that he was the one who showed me this job and now why is he changing my shift timings, when I was comfortable with the previous one. First I was angry with him but as usual I went to his feet later. I prayed to him that our shift timings should not change and something wrong should happen if they decided so. I took and oath of leaving potato till my wish fulfills. I was very careful and avoided potato, asking each and everyone whether a potato is mixed in the curry whenever I used to have my food. I thought, now I am so careful and how can he change my shift. It’s impossible; he has to keep my old timings. One evening my aunt brought samosas and starting distributing to every one in our house. Generally I don’t eat samosas. But I woke up from sleep and as soon as she asked me, I was feeling hungry and took the samosa and ate it, forgetting my vow. Days passed on I didn’t remember about that incident. All the days I was thinking that I was successful with my vow. But our sai wanted me to remember it and hence a flash appeared and all of the sudden I remembered about that incident. I did not fell disappointed but I felt that it was another miracle shown by our baba. This means if baba knows our wish would really succeed then he will encourage us. As in one of the chapters in SSC baba said “sitting in this masjid, I never speak untruth”. In my case he already knew that my shift timings were going to change. And I am sure there might be some good reason for that. Who knows, some one else might be in need of that shift timings. As I have told earlier if it really happens then baba shows us the confidence but if it won’t then we shouldn’t blame him.  And as my vow failed, our shift timings also changed. om sai ram.

Sai udi

After the darshan, we came out and stood in a big queue for the prashad. We were under the impression that we will be given udi packet along with the prashad but unfortunately udi was over by the time our turn came. I was very disappointed. We went to dwarkamai from there. I had a desire to get the udi at least from there but could not find any. Later on while coming to the padukas, where the neem tree is, I saw a flash of a person dressed up like baba I thought it might be some one as it is common to see many in that get up. But as soon as I blinked that person disappeared. As I have already said it was like a flash coming in front of my eyes and when I went to the temple of padukas, the udi was right in front of me in a cage like box. The box was designed in such a way that our whole hand can not reach in. we can only dip one finger and get the udi. But somehow I managed to get lot of udi from that cage like box. While I was doing all this a security guard was observing but he didn’t say anything. As soon as everyone saw me collecting udi in that way, even they started doing so as there was a huge demand for udi on that day. But the security guard came and asked everyone to leave that place as it has become crowded, but by that time, I have got sufficient udi for myself and returned happily.

It was karthika maasam. I used to worship lord shiva earlier, before getting the blessing of our deva. It looks as if sai adopted me from lord shiva. Even now he alarms me during the important days of shankara. During the karthika maasam, as we know it’s a general practice of all the ladies to light a jyothi with pure ghee. As usual I went to masjid on Thursday. There is a shivalaya beside. I saw so many ladies lighting a jyothi in front of shiva lingam. I had a wish to do so. But I as far as I know it was the last week. There r no shops who sells the required provisions for the jyothi. Also my house is a bit far from the baba mandir. I thought, if shankara wishes then he will show me the way and allows me to light the jyothi and returned to my home. The temple was also closed by then. When I asked my mom, she said that there is one more week left and it is the important week. My joy knows no bound then. The next week I went along with my mother and sister to the near by shivalayam and took darshan and lighted the jyothi. I hope my wish fulfills. om sai ram.

Yes, Even I have done this a couple of times and all the times my wish has been fulfilled after I gave up my favourite food.
Now I have again given up 2 of my favourite things and pray to Baba that he fulfils those wishes which are but basic to any human being..
I pray to Baba to bring peace and joy in my life and everyone elses..

Somehow I have the feeling that baba will call me to shirdi as soon as the udi is finished which I have. The udi which I got from shirdi was almost finishing then I thought either baba will call me or he will send me udi somehow. He didn’t give me the opportunity to go to shirdi as my wish was still uncompleted then (I think baba will call us only when our wishes are fulfilled. He called me only after my sister’s marriage as It was the only wish of our whole family), but at the same time one of my colleagues was going to shirdi. I told that person to bring me some udi. Generally he forgets what ever is told. But somehow he remembered it and got me 2 packets of udi. I feel one or the other way even that person is blessed by baba. Now I am left with little amount of udi, I hope baba fulfills my wish and will call me to shirdi and gives me udi directly instead of sending it through someone else.    om sai ram.

It was a festival of subramanya swami, my sister believes him a lot and there are so many leelas related to lord subramanya also. But this is one of my favorites which happened with me. During the festival, it is a tradition to light 6 jyothis.  6 are for the stars. We need to take 6 pradarshans and show them to god and place them in front of him. My sister does this every year without fail. This year she and my mom asked me also to come and light the jyothis but it was already 5:30pm then. I told them I have to go to aarathi so asked them to carry on as I will be late as it was Thursday. The pujari asked them to come at sharp 6pm. I went to aarathi, had baba’s wonderful darshan as usual. I saw the glow in this face. The masjid was newly built and is very near to our home and it was as if baba came very near to me. Usually I go by my two wheeler to baba’s temple and to reach masjid early I ride very fast. I was about to have accident, many times while going to masjid. May be that’s the reason he came very near to me. The new masjid is at a walk able distance. Baba in the new masjid looks as if he is very happy seeing the devotees. He looks so cute sitting there. When I finished my aarathi, at one movement I gave a thought of going to subramanya swami’s temple to check the status. cont... om sai ram.

But when I went there the puja was not yet started.  My mother was very happy to see me there. But every one was already ready with the 6 jyothis and started taking pradarshans. I thought I can’t go ahead now as the puja has already started. And began to say my favorite pharse ‘if god wills he will make me light the jyothis otherwise he doesn’t want me to’. After few minutes my mother suggested me to join but there was no ghee nothing. No extra provisions, as they never thought that I will come there. But my mother wanted me to perform the puja however, as I’ve already reached there, and hence asked me to buy ghee from the near by shop. I went to the shop to get the ghee and I saw baba’s photo in which he was smiling at me. I thought ‘oh, so you were the one who planned all these things.’ I felt very happy as I got baba’s blessings. And by the time I went to the temple, my mom some how arranged 6 deepas for me. I was busy lighting them, later on few more girls joined me. It was the 2nd round and I came to know that generally there will be as many rounds depending upon the number of devotees at that time. How ever our dear baba and swami murugan made me light those jyothis like a teacher sitting before a student and making her do her homework. The happiest movement was when I was praying god about my wish, the temple bell rang. It may not be surprising to others but it was to me. This was the 1st time in my life that something has happened to me like this.  I felt so happy and returned home with an excitement in my heart.  Om sai ram.

There is one more experience of mine with baba’s udi. In the new masjid where I usually go, the poojari performs abhishekam with vibuthi just before the aarathi starts. Those who wish to do the abhishekam to the padukas can bring the vibhuthi while reciting sai ashtotram. One week every was reciting ashtotram and those who brought the vibhuthi were performing the abhishekam. Then I thought of bringing vibhuthi the next week for the abhishekam.  I just thought about it and left home after the aarathi. The next week I went to the masjid forgetting the vibhuthi. I went into the masjid and took my place and stood there and was waiting for the aarathi to start. I still did not remember about the vibhuthi. There were few more people who came in early and were waiting for the aarathi. All of the sudden the poojari took a bag full of vibhuthi and said that he will recite 3 ashtotrams and all those who are present there can perform the abhishekam with that vibhuthi. I was surprised to see that. I just had a wish to do the abhishekam and baba reminded me of that and when there was no chance of going out and buying the vibhuthi, he himself gave it to me. I happily took part in the abhishekam. My heart was filled with joy knowing that this is how baba cares about his devotees. He is like a parent who buys everything for the kid, even a small wish.  One thing is true that if we wish something to baba whole heartedly, baba will definitely fulfill our wish. He himself will arrange everything and see that we get what we wanted. Baba is a wish fulfilling tree as we all know. May baba always bless his devotees. om sai ram.

Guru charitra

These days are very crucial for me. I am undergoing such a phase that I am unable to understand anything about my life. I left everything to baba to take care about my future. I really don’t know if they are concerned about my life or sympathizing when I told my situation to my colleagues. One of my friends suggested to do parayana and asked me to plan it in such a way that I would finish the reading in one week, as I am facing a problem which is related to my life. I don’t know why, I did not take it that much seriously and didn’t give a thought about it. I thought if baba really wants me to start the parayana, then he himself will show me the path and will ask me to start it. It happened a few months back. Now the problem is still continuing. I don’t know when my baba will shower his grace upon me. When ever I feel disappointed, baba told me that my problem will definitely be solved but I have to wait for few more days. Every time I am sad and dejected, he asks me to be with saburi.  While reading satcharitra I came across a chapter where a devotee is advised by baba to start guru charitra. I was going through that paragraph and all of the sudden I got a doubt that baba might be asking me to read guru charitra and complete it with in one week. But still I was not sure, whether baba really wanted me to start reading guru charitra. The same night when I was browsing our forums, I came across a post of guru charitra posted by kavitha didi. Then I confirmed that baba wanted me to read gurucharitra. With baba’s blessing I was able to complete the parayana. If baba wants his devotees to start something, he himself will arrange everything and see that it is completed successfully. All we need to do is to leave everything to baba. Even an ignorant brain will understand if baba wants to tell us something. Everything will be done automatically. May baba always show the path to his devotees and shower his blessings with his glance. om sai ram.

I usually go to two temples of baba which are near by my home. We can not do pradarshans in the new masjid. Hence I wanted to go to the old masjid which was a bit far away from my house. When I started, my vehicle was not starting. I tried so many times
but was unsuccessful. I tried the electronic starter, the kick rod but still the vehicle did not start. I lost all my energy with in 15 minutes as the vehicle was too heavy. Then I prayed baba if you want me to come to the masjid then I will try once more and the vehicle should start, if not I will give up. I tried starting the vehicle once again, but failed. With disappointment I went back into my home and told my mother that the vehicle is not starting. My mother suggested me to go to the new masjid and have a darshan. I thought I will go after 1 hour. Meanwhile my cousin came and we chitchatted for few minutes. We both started to baba’s new mandir which is at a walk able distance. When we reached the mandir, to our astonishment we found that the masjid was closed as there was a grahanam the next day. Therefore all the temples will be closed that evening. I planned to go to baba’s temple that day forgetting about the grahanam. Then I realized that baba wanted me to save from the trouble of going all the way to the old mandir and returning back after seeing the closed doors. This shows that baba never wants his devotees to have any trouble. He makes our life a cakewalk if we surrender ourselves completely to our dear deva. om sai ram.

Experiences of Devotees -by    Sunil Babbar

Dear Sai Brothers and Sisters, I have been a devotee of Sai for the past fifteen years. Whatever God does is for our own good, some of us do not have a job, or you may have lost a dear one, or suffer an illness. Whatever our fears or pains we must trust God.

We must be "Fearless", we must be strong and overcome "Depression" and last of all we must not "Doubt Sai". We must not resort to thinking about killing ourselves; this is the coward's way out. You will still have to undergo your Karmas in the next life, better to resolve them her and now in this life.

Think how much better off you are than the person who has not had a meal for a few days. Who has no family or friends? Who has no home? Who has a disability or has an illness? Are you not better than them? Of course you are! Has God not sheltered you? Thank God that you are alive. Life is too precious to lose its because of your fears, these are just passing clouds. Have faith.

Whatever your problems, no harm can come to our true selves the ATMA, Seek not rewards in this life, for this rotting body, which will drop-off at anytime, but rewards in the after life.

We should look within ourselves to resolve our own problem that is why God gives us these problems. We should not disturb the vibration of our Dear Brothers and Sisters by complaining about our problems, and broadcasting them.

I am writing from personal experiences, I have lost my wife and child, I have suffered financially, and was homeless, and I had health problems. Now with gods Grace, I have got stronger and have got married again. I know that sometime in the future I have my own house, we have to leave it to Sai, He knows when it right, it is better to pick a reap mango than to pluck a raw one, it tastes so much better.

There is light at the end of the tunnel, for some of us the tunnel is a little longer, for our past Karmas. But we will overcome them. So pray for God Blessing and his Grace.

Experience of the week :


Devotees name unknown.

 

I thought I would write my experience here if my son gets in the school I wanted to. I have one daughter and one son. My daughter is in 4th grade and is going to a very good school, right now #2 in the state. My son is now 5yrs and last year I started applying to all private school includingmy daughter's. I made a mistake of not sending him to preschool. Guess I was very protective. So, I started teaching him at home and also put him in Math and reading classes. I still was not sure if he was competent enough for K admissions. Nevertheless, I applied and he started giving interviews at these private schools. I secretly within myself wanted him to get into the same school as my daughter. But I really did not know If he would inspite of the school having seats set for siblings. The chance was 50-50.

I prayed to baba right after he gave the interview at my daughters school. I said to BABA, "Baba if my son gets in this school, it is inly because of you and I promised him that I would share my experience here. Now all interviews got over. My daughter's school had a meeting for all parents who were applying for their 2nd child. They said that they would call parents of unaccepd students 2-3 days before mailing out the letters. The week when they were going to send out the letters came. That was longest weeeks I have ever spent praying that I should not get any calls from the school. I feel I am selfish by asking BABA everytime but he is the ONLY one I can think of trust in my life. I knew BABA could make it happen the way I wanted. I said BABA please take my son in your blessings and take care of him all the time. Somehow a rare feeling of confidence came over me. Whenever I see a picture of BABA with one hand up as if he is blessing us, it makes me feel that he is saying " Why fear when I am Here". I get a boost in my energy. I left everything to BABA saying that I know I have not tried enough but please hlp me this time. And beleive it or not I did not get a call from the school and 2 days ago I got a acceptance letter for my son in my daughter's school. I thanked BABA immediately in my heart and it reassured me again that he is there fro my faimly. Thank you BABA. Sahasrakoti Pranams to you on behalf of my family. I know you will be there and guide us thru this life smoothly.

Om Sai Ram....

When the poojari of baba’s new masjid announced that all kinds of abhishekams will be performed on the coming ekadashi, I wanted to bring pure ghee for the abhishekam and thought of not missing it. I kept an alarm and slept. The next morning, I got an alarm at the correct time but I couldn’t here it, as it was placed under my sister’s pillow, which was unusual. I couldn’t hear it at that time but after 1 hour I was awake by the same alarm which could be barely heard. I didn’t understand this leela of baba. I was already late, but still had some hope and hence rushed to the new mandir taking the ghee with me but by that time the kakad aarathi was over and also the abhishekham. The pujari went inside and closed the doors for baba’s alankarna. Every one was eagerly waiting to see the charm of our deva. There was a heavy rush. No extra person can enter inside as it was already filled. I, along with so many others stood outside. I asked a girl about the abhishekham, when she came outside. The girl said that it was already done. I cursed myself for not getting up early. As she came in early she had a place inside and reserved it. After few minutes she came to me and asked me to come in and stand along with her. Luckily I got in. We had to wait for few more minutes to see our baba. Then the pujari came out and opened the doors. Baba was looking wonderful. I kept on watching baba from toe to head. My heart filled with joy and wanted to watch him for hours and hours. I was happy to get a place inside the masjid otherwise I would not have seen him that clearly as soon as the doors were opened. But still there was a little disappointment regarding the abhishekham. I asked baba: ‘why you didn’t want me to perform the abhishekam, why didn’t you wake me up, are you angry with me? but if you are not angry with me please let the pujari give me any red colored flower.’ When I opened my eyes the pujari was coming towards us distributing the flowers. When my turn came, he gave me a red flower. Only a single red flower. There were so many white flowers, but still I got, only the red flower. Then I learnt that baba was not angry with me, but he had some plan for me and wanted to follow it accordingly.

Another miracle took place, after a few minutes when I went to lord shiva’s temple which was just beside. When I went to have a darshan, the pujari was performing abhishekham to lord shiva with ghee. And there were not so many people around. I don’t know what baba was trying to say, but somehow my heart was satisfied after seeing that.  om sai ram.

Now I have again given up 2 of my favourite things and pray to Baba that he fulfils those wishes which are but basic to any human being..
I pray to Baba to bring peace and joy in my life and everyone elses..

An Astonishing Experience
By K. N. Narayan Swamy

"The Lord who dwells in the hearts of all, in Him seek refuge with all thy
soul. By His grace then thou shall obtain supreme repose, the eternal seat."
(Bhagavad-Gita)


Direct spiritual experience is a psychological state, independent of the
metaphysical doctrine which may be derived from the experience. The reality
of the experience in not affected by the metaphysical doctrine inferred from
it. Yet the experience has a cognitive value. It involves a certain
metaphysical conception of the nature of Sai Baba, Radhakrishna Swamiji, the
human soul and the world and also a certain way of attaining union with the
Absolute.

On the 8th August 1990, I was going through a Tamil magazine MANGAYAR
MALAR-July, 90 and came across an article about a Venkateswara temple in
Banashankari Second stage - Varaprada Venkateswara Temple of Devagiri. In
the article it was stated that when the idols were getting ready, Sai Baba
appeared in the form of an old man to His Holiness Radhakrishna Swamiji and
told him: "I have come to Bangalore. Come and have my darshan."

Subsequently I learnt that this temple has very close connection with Shirdi
Sai Baba and a divine aura is present there. Radhakrishna Swamiji laid the
foundation stone for this temple and his portrait adorns the sanctum now.
Swamiji's intimate devotees on every 'Sankranti' day visit this temple in a
procession chanting Vishnu Sahasra Namam and perform 'archana' to Lord
Venkatesha in the name of Sri Radhakrishna Swamiji.

I can only conclude this experience with a quote from Garuda Purana:
"Lost is this world which, out of Thy Maya is mad with pride, deaf, blind
and by acquisition of wealth, insensible ever towards the needy and the
venerable.
Lord! Bestow not on me great wealth lest it prove an obstacle to Thy lotus
feet. But grant me always the company of great souls who can explain to me
Thy real attributes."

Post by: adwaita on April 26, 2007, 10:25:39 AM

I always wished to distribute prashadam with my own hands, where as it is really not possible in the new masjid, as it is done by the temple members. Even I never told the pujari that I will distribute it myself. I left it to baba and thought if he wills, then he will allow me. It was ugadi (New Year of andraities); I went to baba in the morning. Baba was looking wonderful on that day. I wish to stand there day and night watching baba who was looking wonderful with a new circlet and so many garlands and beautiful flowers, I thought I would again come that evening. When this thought crossed my mind, during the darshanam, the pujari asked me to come in the evening as well. On that day the pujari arranged a very huge amount of prashadam. His desire was to distribute it till evening. The evening I went to masjid for the aarathi. The pujari specially called me and asked me to distribute prashadam till it is completed. I became very happy as baba listened to me and used the pujari as a source. Being ugadi, there was large number of devotees who came to the masjid. I went on and on distributing the prashadam for nearly 3 hours. I stayed there till my legs began to pain. From that day onwards I became a constant member for distributing the prashadam. 4 weeks back the pujari asked me to distribute it in the masjid itself, although the new masjid is a bit small, where as two more girls are given the duty of the prashadam at the outerspace. I thanked baba from the core of my heart for listening to every wish of mine. om sai ram.

One day I was very unhappy and disappointed, as something went wrong and didn’t happen as it was expected. I was sad and cried for two days and began to blame baba for everything. I couldn’t console myself and kept on thinking on and on about what went wrong and why didn’t it happen. I asked baba why he didn’t help me. All the time he comforted me saying that he was there with me but still I was unhappy. From that day, whenever I saw baba’s photo, it looked as if he was also crying along with me. But still I was not ready to listen to him. I became mad and kept on asking him why why and why. Then on Sunday night I was watching sai baba serial. I got a message from baba through that serial. Baba said ‘kuch logon ko apne karmon ke wajah se dukh ko sehana padtha hai. Woh log maalik ko dosh deten hain. Jab maalik ko aise kehten hain tab maalik bahut dukhi hota hai aur unhi ke saath rotha hai’ it was then I got my lesson. I realized my mistake and begged baba to forgive me but to be with me forever. My mind became calm. I couldn’t console myself but baba consoled me through that serial. Om sai ram.

They are really beautiful words. Had you (for that matter me or anyone) not felt bad for those 2 days, we would have not understood these beautiful words of Baba so well.

Post by: SS91 on April 29, 2007, 02:43:47 PM
Baba came to us

By Prahfad B. Huiiyatkar


Fishing for FAILURE
Man swims in the sea of self-satisfaction,
Nibbles at the bait of procrastination.
Swallows the hook of mediocrity, and
Ends up in the net of failure.



There are some experiences which are beyond explanation. They exist as sunlight.

The manifestation of divinity is beyond all our limited perceptions. As for myself, I cannot explain the

cause of incidents;  but they exist as clear as sunlight. I humbly try to catch the spirit.

My parents and grandparents were indeed blessed to see Sai Baba when he  was physically alive.

One day Baba gave to my father a coconut, some sweets  and two silver coins to my grandfather,

who was then working as a Deputy Collector at Nasik. He asked my father to give him a 'Dakshina' of

rupees and also gave him a chillim to smoke. Both my father and  grandfather started worshiping Sai

Baba even after we shifted to Jamkhandi in  Karnataka. The elders in the family objected to this worship

and in order not to  hurt their feelings, my grandfather put the photo of Sai into a suitcase.

They worshipped Sai Baba mentally till the last breath of their lives. As I  was a pet grandchild, my

grandfather used to narrate miracles of Sai Baba. He became Dewan of Bhor, later at Ramdurga and

finally at Jamkhandi till  it merged in the independent India. In his retired life he spent on  spiritual

quests and I remember Mr. B.D. Jatti (who later on became  Vice-President of India) visiting him now

and then. During this time, Gurudev Ranade, who was then the Vice-Chancellor of Allahabad University

frequently called on my grandfather at Jamkhandi.  My grandfather died in 1958.

Then the problems started for us. I graduated at Poona and had got into  the Law College when my

grandfather passed away. Since the financial  position became critical after his death, I had to leave

the Law college and  work as a teacher at Malvan. Here due to a strange coincidence, I came in

contact with a girl, I liked her and subsequently we married. After marriage, I learnt that my wife was a

very quiet devotee of Sai Maharaj and as any other young man, in order to please the newly  married

spouse; I also started worshipping Sai Baba. She had a photo of Sai  Baba with a horse. Along with her,

I started reading 'Sai pothi'. I felt  this was more pretence than devotion!

In 1965, we were blessed with a son. My son was healthy but gave  indications of dumbness. We did

not know what to do. We took him to Shirdi when he  was two-year old. He virtually slept off on the’

Samadhi’. When we  returned home two days later, he was saying 'Baba- Baba'. He picked up 

vocabulary and  he became normal in all respects. This miracle changed my attitude towards

Baba and I accepted him as my God!

We shifted to Goa in 1960. On seeing our worship of Sai Baba a good  number of neighbors also became

His devotees. We hold ‘Satsang’ and the  number is ever increasing. In 1977, a devotee by name

Avinash went to Shirdi and brought a small bag of Udhi. My wife told him: "Avinash! You came from

Shirdi. Why did you not bring Baba with you"? He answered: "Baba is  coming - Baba is coming. He is on

His way." Avinash's word turned out to be prophetic. On 9th June 1977 my wife had a dream: "Your

brother-in-law  is coming. Do not allow him straightaway. Take out ‘Dristi’ (evil eye)  and then allow him

to meet your husband". My wife saw in her dream Sai Baba in  orange robes climbing the footsteps and

herself taking out ‘Dristi’ with a  piece of bread and then Sai Baba entering the house. The dream

ended. I did not attach any importance to her dream but she had implicit faith that Baba  is coming to

us: On 22nd June 1977, in the afternoon, someone tapped the front door. I  opened the door and

noticed that two cars were parked close to my house and around 20-30 people were standing near the

cars. A Sai devotee by name Sri Abajee Panshikar greeted me and said: "We have brought Sai Murthji to

install  in the temple tomorrow. In the temple, arrangements are still to be made. So we would like to

keep the idol in your house for tonight". We agreed. Baba's idol was brought inside and kept on a table.

In the  night, we performed 'Arathi' and sang Sai-bhajans. My wife said: "Baba- you  really belong to us.

You should not leave us." I laughed at her request and  said "Baba will go away to the temple."

Next day, around noon people started gathering near the temple.  Sai-devotees Kulkarni, Kishore Sahoo,

Jaya Rao came to my house. News came that  there was some difficulty in installing the idol in the

temple. Ultimately the crowd came to my place and in a chorus said: "Let the Murthi be here". They

performed Ganapathi pooja, Sathyanarayana pooja and then the idol was installed on a table in my

house. Baba has stayed permanently with us since then! In our own humble way we worship Him. People

from different parts  of the world have attended ‘arati’ and ‘pooja’ in our house and everyone has

got some experience or the other. Prayers have been answered. Sai Baba is blessing us and is close to

us in every moment of life. Thus Sai Baba came to us in an incredible manner.

Kakad harathi

I usually go to evening aarathi. But that week I thought of going to kakad aarathi. Generally kakad aarathi is done followed by the abhishekham. I don’t know why, whenever I wish to perform some abhishekham for baba, it is not fulfilled. And hence I left it to baba and asked him to give me the chance when he feels like. That night I thought, if there is milk packet in the refrigerator then I will take it to the masjid otherwise I will just watch the abhishekham. Next morning, when I checked the refrigerator there was no milk packet. I thought, as baba’s wish and proceeded to the masjid without eating anything. But I was not disappointed; baba might have a better plan and a good reason for me. The aarathi was finished soon, but after the aarathi, abhishekam was done and then baba’s alankarna. This was the first time in my life to see the kakad aarathi. I felt so happy and thanked baba for allowing me to be there. I wished to stay back for the abhishekham too. Baba was so good looking in the shower of milk. It was done for 1 hour. The pujari went inside, closing the doors for the alankarna. Standing continuously for 1 and half hour I felt dizzy and went outside to sit on the steps for a while. As soon as I came out everyone in the madir, sat down singing sai jap. I got a doubt, as why baba has sent me out. I sat there praying baba to give me strength for at least 1 more hour, as I was eager to see baba’s alankarna. The whole temple consists of lord shakara, shri ramji, lalitha devi and our dear sai baba. Then a guy came to me and handed me a milk packet and asked me to give it to the pujari in the temple of lord shakara. When I hesitated, he said he shouldn’t go in and that’s the reason he is giving it to me. I went into the temple and gave the milk packet and saw the pujari performing the palabhishekham. I felt so happy for it. Every time baba guides me in praying lord shankara and now I know the reason why baba has sent me out for a while. Om sai ram.

yes indeed, I too have felt that sai ma speaks thru his serial. In fact everytime that I have questions to him he spoke to me via serial and gave me my answers.  For last few months I have been asking him to solve my marital problems and bring my life to stable. It is taking time and sometimes I feel he is not listening to me and only telling me that he will do. I understand that he is testing my faith and patience but why is it that we need to wait so long for our prayers to be heard.

I have been remembering him day and nite and asking him to fulfil my wish which is very imp to me. I have now given up non-veg completely and wud do so until my wish comes thru. Hope sai ma helps me to complete my vow.

Blessings on my b’day

It was my b’day, but I didn’t want to celebrate it. My heart was sad and thought what’s the big deal, if it’s my birthday. I got up late and as I left my office I didn’t get the mood for celebration. Things would have been different if I was still working, my friends and team would have made a big hungama. I missed my friends so much on that day and hence did not feel like enjoying in their absence. I didn’t even buy a new dress for myself. Thought only baba and I will celebrate together. But baba didn’t agree. He wanted to see me happy. He gave me the chance to meet my friends although it’s very difficult for me at this situation. I got a call from one of my friends asking me to come for the party. When I hesitated and said that my parents will not allow me, she came to my house for picking me up and also promised my mom to drop me after that. By babas grace I went to the party and enjoyed a lot. When we all were talking, playing jokes and having fun, I said myself in my heart ‘baba I miss you’ and after sometime I took my friends mobile to check the photo which was shot just then. I pressed some button and all of the sudden saw baba in the mobile. I felt so happy that baba was around me and happy along with me, as it is said ‘he sings along with us, laughs along with us and cries along with us’. After coming home I thanked baba for giving me happiness after so many days, at least for few minutes. When ever I am sad or disappointed, without thinking anything I will look at baba and say ‘you don’t love me’. That night when I started reading satcharitra, I got the chapter 10. In the third parah I came across a sentence, ‘inwardly he loved adwaita’ (which is my user id). My eyes filled with tears of joy. That was my birth day present from baba. At last he said that he loves me. I also thank all my sai bandhus, especially jyothi ji for making my day, bringing me happiness on that day. Om sai ram.

Saipadananda - The Ever Vigilant Parent

By a Doctor devotee of Swamiji who wishes to remain anonymous.

It was 11 a.m. on the 18th March 1989. I was just anticipating a happy blissful evening at Sai Spiritual

Centre as the 'Akhanda Sai Nama Saptaham' was going on. Just then a patient entered who had cracks in

feet and sought a prescription for an ointment to heal these fissures of feet, which is quite common. As I

was writing the prescription, Saipadananda Radhakrishna Swamiji talked to me from the small desk

photograph I had kept on my table:

"Have you seen Krishna Murthy's feet". The message came twice. Immediately I got up from my seat to

get one small jar of the ointment used in cracked feet.

Devotees who regularly visit the Thyagarajanagar shrine of Sai Baba are familiar with

Shri D. Krishnamurthy, the most intimate devotee of Sri Radhakrishna Swamiji and is more or less

Swamiji's 'foster son'. When I met Shri Krishna Murthy and handed him the jar of ointment, tears flowed

from his eyes and told me "Doctor, my feet gave me so much trouble yesterday that I could hardly walk.

I prayed to Swamiji who has taken care much more than a true father to his infant son".

Shri Krishna Murthy gave me Baba's prasad and then listened to my story. For a minute he was

labbergasted. He could only say : ''As Sai Baba is blessing from his tomb at Shirdi, Radhakrishna Swamiji is

taking care of us in every moment of our life".

Sri Swamiji is our Guru and it is needless to say that Guru is greater than God.

Pranams to Swamiji and Sai Baba.

I always wait for Sunday to watch babas serial on starplus. This week I asked baba to give me a message regarding didi. Whatever baba says in that serial is directly or indirectly related to us. There is no need to think deeply about the message and try to understand it. It is all clear. Baba speaks to us directly. This week when I asked him to tell me the reason, baba said ‘mein kuch nahin kartha hoon, phir bhi sabhi mujhi ko dosh deten hain. Karmon ka phal sabhi ko bhugatna padtha hai. Sab ka malik ek’. We have asked baba so many questions and reasons; they are all because of our sadness and of our love towards our dear didi. Even baba knows that we never meant to hurt him. As his children, when such things happens we tend to go to our mother for peace and expect comfort words and he is the first person to whom we go. Baba we have accepted the truth and pray for your blessings. There is a better plan for didi from our lord and her future is in babas hands.  We as human beings may not understand our god’s logic. Baba bless all his devotees and fulfill their wishes so that there would be one day when all our sai bandhus go to the masjid with out any desires. I hope that day would be our dream day, our MAHA UNION. Om sai ram.

Whenever I go out, I come across baba’s photo on or inside any vehicle mostly on autos, on the walls of a shop etc. And once I see baba, I am sure that I will achieve success that day. It is like baba blessing us and asking us to go ahead without any doubt. One day my mom and I packed all the sarees to return them to the owner. My mother generally buys sarees from an aunty. We will keep the one which we liked and return the rest. That day we took two bags full of sarees to her home. Aunt’s home was near by. But some how I felt that we may comeback as I didn’t see baba anywhere on the road. No wonder aunty was not there at her home. It was locked. We had to come back and return them the next day.

One day I went to airtel office to keep my number in safe custody as I was not using my mobile and thought it was needless to pay the rent. But I was in a dilemma whether to disconnect my number temporarily or not. That day on the way I didn’t see baba anywhere, hence I thought that either it wont happen that day or it may be postponed to the other day or baba didn’t like this idea of mine. I went to the office and told them about my problem. The lady asked me to wait for 10 minutes. I wished to see baba in the mean time and may be baba planned this 10 minutes waiting only to show his pic. Meanwhile a person beside me was discussing about his paper bills to the same lady since long time. After few minutes his case was settled. I was looking at his mobile which I liked very much. All of the sudden I saw babas photo in his mobile. At last I got his blessings and felt happy. Although these are small leelas of baba, I wanted to share them with my sai bandhus. This shows that baba is there with us each and every minute. And it is unacceptable when people say baba is not listening to them in critical, life and death situations. When our deva takes care of us and is there even in small things like selecting a dress for us, how can’t he be there with us when we needed him badly.    om sai ram.

You are a blessed child of baba. Do post your wonderful experiences with baba and let us dive deeply into his ocean of leelas. When you give up your favourite dish, baba will automatically let us know whether our wish will be fulfilled or not. May baba always bless you and take care of your mother’s health. Om sai ram.

It was in the year 1996, during one of my visits to Nasik City on official work, I co-incidentally got a chance to visit Shirdi Dham. My first look at the statue of Shri Shirdi SAIBABA from a distance appeared to be like my father who had expired in 1993.

 Little did I realize at that time that Baba himself had called me to Shirdi in view of the difficult times ahead of me. But for the blessings and support given by HIM , I shudder to think what I would have gone through. I passed through the most difficult 7 and 1/2 years Shanee period in my horoscope with courage and determination even though I got displaced to a far off place for service due to change of job, separation from my family for nearly 4 years, demands of money for education of my children etc. etc.

With every difficulty with HIS grace, I became stronger and more determined because I left myself in HIS never failing hands.

Baba also provided me opportunities to grow spiritually and today I can say that I am certainly a blessed child of SAI. My entire thinking of life has changed and I am most composed at all times.

I am also fortunate that my family members, particularly my wife & children share the same devotion and blessings of SAI.

From my own experience, I would urge all to surrender themselves to HIS wishes and watch miracles happening all the time.

SADGURU SHRI SAINATH MAHARAJ KI JAI!

Krishnan Ramaswamy

 31 Jan 2003


I am a staunch devotee of Lord Sainath and visit often to Shirdi.

I visited All India Sai Samaj, Mylapore, Chennai on Dattaatreya Jayanthi, 19th December 2002.

Immediately after morning arathi, Shri K.Ramaswamy, ex-President of this Samaj requested the very large
number of devotees assembled in the hall to pronounce "Jai" at their utmost voice without feeling shy .

On completion of his prayer, he used to pronounce nine times...

 "Akilanda Koti -Brahmanadanayaga-Rajathiraja-Yogiraja-Parabrahma-

Satchitananda Sadguru Sainath Maharaji ki"....

This he used to repeat nine times and the "Jai" from devotees will echo very much....

Shri Ramaswamy further elaborated that "Jai" indicates success of thier wish and Lord Sainath will take

care of them..........for their dedication of following the two coins of Lord Sai...

"Shradda" and "Saburi"....the devotees can achieve anything from the prayer to Lord Sai.

I planned to visit Shirdi with my parents on 24th December 2002 and booked tickets accordingly.

On 23rd December, prior day of my journey to Shirdi, I had a miraculous escape of a disaster to my eye.

I usually put eye drops daily before going to sleep. The eye drops and a mosquito killing acid was kept

side by side in the almirah. My mother, who used to put me the eye drops, in her sleepy mood, mistakenly

put the acid, which was kept by the side of the eye-drops into my eye...Lo! I started shouting that it

pained my eye a lot and uncontrollable pain...I asked my mother to check whether it was the medicine

she applied ...we came to know that it was the acid kept for killing the mosquitoes. My right eye in which

she had dropped acid became very red and gave heavy paining...the eye balls became thick red ...I

washed my eyes with water and did many other things to control the pain...though the pain was too

Much. Nothing got cured... Meanwhile...my mother started crying a lot, as I am the only child and my

father wanted to cancel the trip to shirdi, as my eye is more important at this stage of life.

I requested my mother to get Lord Sainath Udhi. I applied it all around my eyes. I had firm belief on Lord

Sai and His Udhi. I just applied often-chanting Sai"s name and laid down in bed closing my eyes. I was not

able to withstand the irritation that continued for a long time. As time passed, I too fell asleep after

hearing and chanting Sai Naama. When I woke up in the morning, I saw my eyes in the mirror,

I was not able to believe myself. I had no pain and my eyes were crystal clear. Before catching the train

to Shirdi, we went to doctor for check up of my eyes. The doctor himself was not able to believe that

acid had been dropped. AS EXPECTED WITH MY FIRM BELIEF, THE UDHI DID ITS MIRACLE.

It cured my eyes or otherwise I could have lost my eyesight and could not have even had the chance to

narrate this incident to you all.

Shri K.Ramaswamy's wordings echoed my ears:

Believe Sai with deep devotion (faith) and patience. You will achieve everything from His Blessings.

Yes.Shradda and Saburi are the two real coins in everyone's life...

Lord Sai will protect us, once if we follow these two under His feet.

Miss K.Divya,

"Sri Shirdi Sai Sthala"

Jaisairam!

I posted a topic yesterday regarding Sai naam jap. Below is the link to the post.

http://forum.spiritualindia.org/sai-naam-jap-on-june-29-need-your-blessings-baba-t17686.0.html

Usually after visiting our forums, I read satcharitra and go to bed. So yesterday after posting the post I read chapters 18 and 19. And I came across a paragraph where it struck me like a flash. I asked baba for his blessing and this is how he replied.

This is the paragraph which I found in chapters 18 and 19
“It is interesting to note how Sai Baba encouraged good thoughts. You have to surrender yourself completely to Him with love, and devotion, and they you will see how, He helps you, off and on, in so many things. Some Saint has said, that when you get a good thought, immediately after awakening from sleep, and if you develop the same afterwards during the day, your intellect will be unfolded and your mind will attain calmness. Hemadpant wanted to try this. On one Wednesday night before going to bed, be thought - "To-morrow is Thursday - an auspicious day and the place, viz. Shirdi, is so holy; so let me pass the whole day in remembering and chanting the Rama-nama, and then he slept. Next morning when he got up he remembered without any effort the name of Rama and was much pleased. He then, after finishing his morning duties, went to see Baba with flowers. When he left Dixit's Wada, and was just passing Booty's Wada (present Samadhi-mandir) he heard a beautiful song that was being sung nicely by one Aurangabadkar, in the Masjid before Baba. The song was Guru - kripanjan payo mere bhai" etc. by Ekanath, in which he says that he got collyrium in the form of Guru's grace which opened his vision and made him see Rama, in and out, in sleep, dream, and waking state and everywhere. There were so many songs; and why was this song particularly chosen by Aurangabadkar, a devotee of Baba? Is this not a curious coincidence arranged by Baba to feed the determination of Hemadpant to sing unceasingly Rama-nama, during the day?
All Saints agree on and lay stress upon the efficacy of uttering Rama's (God's) name, in fulfilling the ambitions of the Bhaktas and in protecting and saving them from all calamities.”

Nothing to say other than Om sai ram.

OM SAI RAM

Daily miracles are countless and endless, it is his presence which is always with his children.

A small incident. In our office there is a big garden, preoccupied with work we dont get time to enjoy the natural resources. Our Office boy brings flowers from the graden to BABA's Potrait for every day Pooja. One day I happened to go down little early so i happened to see the garden full of BEAUTIFUL ROSES. In my mind i thought our Office Boy has never brought these Roses for BABA how beautiful will it decorate BABA, HO SAKTHA YAHAN GULABEN THODNA MANA HAI ( i thought probabaly it is not allowed to pluck roses as it will affect the landscaping) Never mind let me buy ROSES on Thursday from outside and bring I thought.

I totally forgot about it. BABA has read my mind, the next day when i entered my cabin i saw only roses of many colours and no other flowers for that day's POOJa. WHAT SHOULD YOU CALL THIS. Just imagine how i was flying in air to realise BABA hears even the tiniest thing which we think of  

So Sai Brothers and sisters dont ever think BABA does not hear your prayers. He does hears everything.
Just wait with FULL FAITH AND PATIENCE and shower him with your LOVE. He is readily available besides you.

Dear keerth ji,

You are correct, baba listens to everyone. It is really unacceptable when people say he does not listen to anyone. It is not they who will speak so, it is their frustration which makes them speak like that. no matter how much may man change, but baba is always the same baba to us. Unshakable. His ocean of leelas are never ending. Your experience with roses was wonderful. He listens to our mind and heart even before the thought crosses our mind. Do post all your experiences with our deva.

Dear prajna ji,

Thank you for your wishes. May baba bless every member of this forum. om sai ram.

Recently I wanted to prepare rice pudding and distribute it as prasad in the new masjid. While preparing I thought I should be given the chance to distribute it myself and told baba about my wish. Generally all the prasadams are distributed by the committee members. And every week the pujari gives me either pedas or halwa (brought by some other devotees) to be distributed inside the masjid. I feel myself lucky for getting this chance. That day he sent all the prasadams outside and gave me pedas to distribute inside the masjid. I was distributing the Prasad and reminded baba about my wish. After few minutes the pedas were over, I went out to check whether the rice pudding was already distributed. But it was left out separately only for me by our deva where as the rest are already taken care of. I felt very happy after finding it. I gave the Prasad with my own hands and returned. Baba bless all. Om sai ram.

Dear Gayathri ji

Great ! Baba listens to all and of course inclusive of the smallest and tiniest thing in the mind.

Things which can happen immedaite happens immedaite for instance to get exam reults take a week/ fortnight/ month. We human beings wnat evrything instatntly and scream saying " These are my unanswered Prayers" baba only knows which to priotise now and which one later.

Great to distribute prasad at BABA mandhir self prepared and self distribution gives immense satisfaction.

We also give prasad every week y'day also I sent CHANNA through my husband for NOON AARTHI, we collect the Utensil back at the night when we go for NIGHT AArthi, Y'day unbelievebly we went early and joined the PALKI the moment I went inside I asked the Caretaker to keep my utensil outside to take it back home, as we had planned to go back home after PALKI, to my surprise BABA sent us early to remind the caretaker to distribute the PRASAD

The idea behind is Noon crowd was less so PANDIT did not serve the Prasad and kept it aside and totally forgot about it, when we went asked for the utensil and the acretaker got reminded that the PRASAD id yet to be distributed.

See how BABA's leelas are. if we had gone late as usual for night aarthi (10pm) 3.5 lhrs ater probably prasad made in the morning would have become stale.

Gayathri ji you had written about the PRASAD distribution on reading it i instanstly fely like posting this one too. that is also his LEELA only

Thanks Baba for being with us.

Last Thursday when I started doing parayanam I wanted to make rawa halwa and distribute it as Prasad in baba’s mandir. My mom and I went for the evening aarathi. As I didn’t go to baba since two weeks I thought baba will be angry with him and I was sure that he will not accept the flowers which I take to the mandir usually. Every week the pujari decorates baba with the flowers (big red ones, may be they blossom only for baba) which I bring. The pujari decorates in such a way that, Baba looks wonderful with white garlands and red flowers in between the garlands. I will try to take a photo and shall share with you all. Now coming back, I asked baba to accept the flowers and Prasad and not be angry. When I gave the flowers the pujari took them and placed all of them at baba’s feet but he didn’t place them in between the garlands like every time. Then I knew baba was annoyed with me. I asked him what I should do to please you, why didn’t you take my flowers to your heart. And after few minutes the aarathi started, I was singing as usual with so much bliss but was teasing baba ;) ke aap jaldi chid jaathe ho. Rootna koi aap se seekhe. Then the pujari picked up the rose flower, which I brought, from baba’s feet and placed it near his heart. Hehe I felt like going near him, give him a tight hug and kiss him. He too was smiling at me, and was looking so cute  :-*.

Now the Prasad distribution. I wished to distribute it with my own hands. But the pujari gave me some other work that day. It was for 30minutes. I too forgot about the Prasad distribution. Then asked my mom to collect the vessel so that we can make a move. When I went to check for it, as I expected, the Prasad box remained there untouched by any one. The temple members were distributing all the Prasads from all the cans, boxes etc except mine. Then I distributed it and came back happily laughing myself inside. Only baba knows what happened between us that evening and now my dearest sai bandhus also knew  :P. Om sai ram.

Gurupoornima celebrations

Although gurupoornima was celebrated on 29th july at most of the places, it was celebrated on july 30th at the new masjid. The pujari asked all the devotees to come as early as possible to do panchamrutha abhishekham with their own hands. I went to the masjid at 5:30am. It was already full and crowded. There was a shelter where the entire crowd stood to watch the abhishekham, and also there was a biiiiiig queue. If I go into the crowd then no doubt I would feel suffocated and would have fallen down of dizziness. Hence baba kept me at a place where I can see him and also where there is some air for breathing. I couldn’t see baba for at least 30mins. Then I said ‘it’s your day today and still I haven’t seen you. You are become a very busy man. After few minutes I was able to see only baba’s face from a small gap. And as soon as I saw him, I saw him smiling too much that I at once saw his teeth too hehe. For one moment I got tears in my eyes. Other people near me were very cooperative, which resulted in a peaceful and satisfied darshan. Everyone in the line was continuously pouring the milk over baba. When my turn came I took the glass of milk and poured on him. And hugged him from behind and at that time no one was pouring milk otherwise all the milk would have fallen on me. Then I holded his feet, saw him till my eyes got the satisfaction. After few minutes I again got the chance of palabhishekham. 

Baba was looking so wonderful in the evening, in pink dress, rose garland, new singhasan, flowers everywhere. He was soooooooo I am not getting the exact word. When the evening arathi was about to start I went and sat in the 2nd row. No one was actually in the 1st row. I thought I will move there after the arathi begins as I would be in the middle of the way if I am in the first row. But one woman continuously asked me to move to the 1st row. I don’t know why this happens every time I sit in the 2nd row. May be baba has fixed my constant place in the masjid. Later, I volunteered for few hours. I consider it a great blessing from baba. One more girl and I were taking care of the queue while an old man was not moving forward and he was talking to some person. Then the girl said “I know him, he has got this habit of talking for hours” then I smiled for her joke looking at him. All of the sudden he came to me and said om sai ram. I too said om sai ram. He felt happy and said you are a good devotee. At that very moment I got baba’s gift for me  :). We got the pleasure of watching baba’s palki procession. Just want to say that today is one of the bestttttt days in my life. My heart was filled with so much bliss and happiness. My eyes wanted to see him, see him and see him :-*. Baba bless everyone on this auspicious day. Om sai ram.

Naming ceremony

My niece’s naming ceremony was decided on aug 5th, hence I went to baba’s mandir and told him everything and invited him to our home. I also asked him to take care of everything. On the D- day my cousin gifted the baby a small ring, I was thinking that it should have baba in it and when opened……. Who else could it be? I saw our cute baba smiling at me. I felt very happy and told my mom, he has already arrived  :).

After some time, as the climate was very cool and cloudy, it started drizzling and everyone was so sure that it would rain continuously for the whole day. I went out and saw that the rain was becoming heavy. I remembered our sai and asked to stop it soon. If the rain continues, it would be a big mess. I asked him to take care and came inside and forgot completely about the rain as I know my sai would take care about it. And also it really did not bother me much. After a while, I was not surprised to see a clear sky when I came out  :D hehe my cute sai. Through out the day it never rained. In addition there was a cool breeze. And no wonder it rained continously today.

In the afternoon, we found a pendant missing from the gold chain of our baby. What worried me most is that, it is the first pendant bought and most importantly it was our sai’s. I told him ‘you came and you went away, why so?’ my sister and I were very much disappointed. We couldn’t search the house as there were so many guests. But still made some effort to search now and then. The news troubled me very much. I felt sad and don’t know what to say. I just went on saying ‘you came and went away’. In the evening when we all gave up hopes, my sister still had some inner voice saying that we will definitely get it. She groomed under the sofa and found it. As soon as she found it, she kissed it. I was excited, jumping, clapping and doing everything out of joy. I took it from her and kissed it. Then we started praising our lord and his power. One more in the list of beautiful experiences. My lovely baba. Om sai ram.

When I was studying mca I thought of leaving cottage cheese (panneer) to baba unless I pass. Finally we got our results and because of babas grace I passed and got good marks. Later on I got a good job and I had some personal problem. I took an oath that I won’t eat panneer until my wish fulfills. Every day I used to be very careful as I have my dinner in the office cafeteria. One day my manager announced overtime and they contributed dinner to each and every one. The dinner was paneer and aaloo roll. My manager brought all the rolls and asked me to distribute them to everyone and take one. I just thought that they are veg rolls and never had an idea that there are paneer rolls in them. I gave all the rolls and took one for me. Now comes the main part.  Every one got paneer roll except me. I was amazed and thanked baba for helping me. Baba bless all. om sai ram.

As I mentioned earlier that I took an oath to leave panneer unless I pass my exams and get good marks. During this time we went to shirdi. We went to a restaurant after the darshan. I ordered a mixed veg curry in which grated panneer is added, which I am not aware of. And I noticed it after a while, but I already ate the curry. I was very worried that my pledge has been broken. I thought I might have not passed and how can something like this happen during an auspicious  day of baba’s darshan. But later on I came to know that our results are out by that time and I was passed with good marks. This is how baba gave me a treat with my favorite dish. I remembered one of the chapters of SSC where a devotee is given handful of sugar which he gives up to save the expenses of his trip to shirdi. Baba bless everyone. om sai ram.

Before March 2007, I used to go to a masjid which is some 5km from our home. That masjid is very big and had a big idol of our beautiful baba. I liked it so much that I continued going there every week for the noon arati. Now that we have the new masjid near our home, I have stopped going there. Every Wednesday they used to clean and wash the whole masjid. Unfortunately I couldn’t take part in that deed. After the arati, the pujari asks everyone to sit down, men in the left side and women in the right side. He used to tell us all the incidents from satcharitra, also few people used to describe their experiences with baba. Whatever Prasad was brought was mixed all together, like rice+curd+sambar+chapati etc. it contained all the tastes, sweet, sour etc. the first time when I took the Prasad I did not like the taste, to be honest, as it was mixed with curd and as well as sambar. And one after noon a handful of Prasad was given, I used to finish all the chapatti pieces first and eat the remaining curd+sambar mixed rice with so much dislike. Used to ask him ‘if I don’t like it then why are you forcing it to me’. I believe eating like that is as equal to throwing it away. I felt helpless, couldn’t make my stupid brain understand. The next week I thought of avoiding the Prasad as they were distributing so many kinds. Thought of accepting one variety. I don’t wanted to take that whole mixture so I was about to move aside from it, one woman was after me to take it when I hesitated, she said ‘this is the main Prasad, you can not avoid it’. I know I will somehow get a blasting from him since I was behaving like an idiot. Then I took it from her and while returning, I saw one big picture of baba in which he was laughing naughtily. I understood his look which was like ‘acha hua, you deserve it’.  What to do now I have to eat it, no matter how much he teases me and when I ate it I found only chapatti pieces in it and not that much of mixed rice. Got my lesson for that day that our tongue should know no taste but we are helpless humans anyhow, forgive me for that baba. om sai ram.

I know my baba would never go against my wish. My oath still continued and day by day I became more careful. Because of my personal problems I thought of going to baba's temple every Sunday and go for 108 pradarshanas. I wish to serve baba every week. As soon as I enter the temple I feel like I am going to my mother’s place which is dwarakamai. Dwarakamaai will ward off everyone’s dangers and will protect her children. One first Sunday I thought of going to babas mandir. But I was lazy to get up.  Thought will sleep for few more hours being Sunday. However I got a call at 8 am which was a wrong number. I still didn’t get up. At 8:30 am I got one more call from some bank. I talked to the person but I didn’t get up and went back to sleep out of drowsiness. At 10am I got a dream where I ate paneer by mistake and was crying like anything thinking that everything is over and now my wish will never fulfill. I got afraid so much that I got up all of the sudden just to know that it was a dream. Then I realized that this is one of baba’s ways to keep his kids in discipline. I realized my mistake and rushed to mandir and prayed that It should not be closed till I finished my pradarshanas and obviously it didn’t. That is how my god is. om sai ram.

Breaking of oath

In the moth of June 2006 we were told that there might be a change of our shift timings. The present shift was good but the new shifts would be graveyard shifts. It would be difficult for my parents to be awake till late nights just because of me and I did not like it. I was angry with our deva that he was the one who showed me this job and now why is he changing my shift timings, when I was comfortable with the previous one. First I was angry with him but as usual I went to his feet later. I prayed to him that our shift timings should not change and something wrong should happen if they decided so. I took and oath of leaving potato till my wish fulfills. I was very careful and avoided potato, asking each and everyone whether a potato is mixed in the curry whenever I used to have my food. I thought, now I am so careful and how can he change my shift. It’s impossible; he has to keep my old timings. One evening my aunt brought samosas and started  distributing to every one in our house. Generally I don’t eat samosas. But I woke up from sleep and as soon as she asked me, I was feeling hungry and took the samosa and ate it, forgetting my vow. Days passed on I didn’t remember about that incident. All the days I was thinking that I was successful with my vow. But our sai wanted me to remember it and hence a flash appeared and all of the sudden I remembered about that incident. I did not feel disappointed but I felt that it was another miracle shown by our baba. This means if baba knows our wish would really succeed then he will encourage us. As in one of the chapters in SSC baba said “sitting in this masjid, I never speak untruth”. In my case he already knew that my shift timings were going to change. And I am sure there might be some good reason for that. Who knows, some one else might be in need of that shift timings. As I have told earlier if it really happens then baba shows us the confidence but if it won’t then we shouldn’t blame him.  And as my vow failed, our shift timings also changed. This may not be the same with everyone. He has his unique way of teachings for each of kids and we have to accept it. Baba bless all. om sai ram.

On October 1st, 07 we left to tirupati. All these days baba was there with me all the time. I saw him each and everywhere whenever I thought about him. While going, whenever I thought about him and asked him to show his presence I can see him right outside from the train. The train reminds me of the train tickets. While making the reservations, we booked a/c for tirupati-shirdi and shirdi-vijayawada. But however something went wrong and only the tickets for shirdi-vijayawada were booked on 3rd a/c. I thought there might be some genuine reason otherwise, how can it happen. Now back to tirupati, I requested baba right from the beginning that I should have a blissful darshan of lord balaji as it is very difficult to stand and watch him at least for 30secs, but baba blessed me with a wonderful darshan of Sri Venkateshwara swami. Later when we went to kalahasthi, I requested him the same. Now how can he say ‘no’, I stood in front of the handsome man shiva for more than 1 minute and when I wanted to thank our deva, he was right in front of me over a hundi in the form of smallllll picture which is very hard to locate. We exchanged smiles  :D and left.

While going from tirupati-shirdi, all of the sudden I was affected with cold and headache and never got time to grab a tablet. Then I understood the reason for not getting a/c tickets. See how he takes care…. The care taker….the omnipresent. Had we gone in a/c I would have suffered with fever. I still had headache and slight fever when I got down in shirdi. I wanted to run to him as soon as I got down but couldn’t make it. I was a bit upset that night and felt like crying. My mom was also disappointed and feared whether we could at least have a darshan because as we know without his will nothing can even move. That night I got a dream where I saw a framed photo of baba. Tears were flowing from the photo. Then I understood, he was as unhappy as I. The next day to my surprise I was completely alright. From that day we went for aarathis and so many darshans. Saw him on and on till I was satisfied. Prayed for my family and my sai family to the fullest.

While leaving from home, I wished baba that we should be wearing matching-matching. But I was disappointed as our dresses never matched. While returning, the cab driver stopped (which is rare I think) at a local baba temple in kopergaon. It is the place where first baba was noticed. Ah! There I saw matching-matching hehe. Touched his feet, kissed them. Got the feeling that he is so near to me. Let my love for you overflow in the form of my tears and wash your holy feet baba. Bless everyone with your wonderful darshan. Let us all come to our heaven shirdi at least once in year.
om sai ram.

Om Sai Ram,

Gayathriji and all other Sai devotees,

It was really a wonderful moment reading all your experiences with Sai Baba.
No doubt he really adores you all and are blessed children of him.

I pray that he continues to pour the same love(and even more) on all his
devotees too(including me) !

I would like to share my first experience with Baba with all of you.

I had been to Bombay when I was in my 8th std with few of my
cousins and other relations (my parents and my sis didnt come as they were
held up with work and studies). We then went to Shirdi too, as someone
from our group had heard that it is a nice place and Baba is a very powerful
saint. I dont remember hearing about Sai Baba before that, it was all new to me.

I vaguely remember that day, but as much as I recall, it looked like a small masjid
that time, unlike what it looks now.. and not much people were there..
I just visited the statue and since I had heard from my relative, that whatever we
wish for becomes true by Baba's grace at Shirdi. I being a bit immature and playful
that time, didnt believe in such miracles much, and thought no harm in testing it once
and so prayed that "If you really can do a miracle then make me get a first rank in my
class". This is all I prayed, since at that age, all that mattered to me was to be a topper in the class, which I usually used to lose by just one or two marks kinds.

After that incident, I kind of put aside this incident, and returned to my city and
to be honest, and if I remember right I was the topper in the next class test :), and
I think I remembered about Baba then! But after that I dont think I thanked him for that or
continued to have faith in him, because no one else in my family had much heard of Sai Baba
at that time, and I dont know if  there were that many mandir's of Sai Baba in my city too.

Maybe though I forgot, Baba never forgot about me, since after 4-5 years, everyone in the
family became ardent devotees of Sai Baba, and till date we worship him very much and
quiet often we visit Sai Baba temple and also have been blessed with Baba's darshan at Shirdi
around 4 times. We too have experienced a lot of miracles of Sai Baba recently and I totally
agree that he is there for all of us whether we remember or not.

I also keep looking for signs every from Baba now and then for every incident of my life, keep hoping that
Sai Baba is witnessing and guiding me in all steps. I would be very happy when I get any positive sign, but will be truly disappointed when I dont get. But as everyone in this post mentioned "maybe he has a better plan" sounds true.

Till recently I wasnt aware of such a forum being in existence.  Through sheer luck I can say, I came across this link and from that day I keep visiting this site very often and it is very assuring to know
that I have lot of brothers and sisters in this forum who are Baba's children. I am beginning to understand how Baba works on his devotees in his fashion. He is very powerful and completely humble.

Thanks Baba for all that you have given and been giving so far!
We all love you

Sapna.

This is one more miracle in my life which took place recently. I studied mca and was looking for a good job. My parents never wanted me to leave my home and go out looking for jobs. They just wanted me to work in my hometown. In Visakhapatnam, we find very few MNC’s or any s/w companies. So, although my qualification wasn’t at all related, I joined in an MNC. The pay was good; slowly I began to like the work. It was going great and everything was good. But still there was some thing bothering, that what I am doing is not at all related. This is not where I belong to. Even kids of 10th class were also working there. Then all of the sudden I had to leave my job although I didn’t like to, but baba stood by me. Gave assurances whenever I felt low. Gave me confidence that there is something better waiting for me. Whenever I used to think about my job, I see a post saying that a person got good job only because of baba or something related to some job. All these posts used to boost me up and increased my confidence level day by day. One more thing is, after leaving my job I never tried for some other job. Just believed in baba’s words and was waiting for the chance. After a wait of 6months, I got the chance. I happened to see an add in the local newspaper and just thought of giving a try. After few filtrations, written test, I was selected for the GD. The rest who got selected has one or other related experience. I was the only person who was not having any experience in the related field. As I had no experience they said they can't select me and my name wasn't announced. Before going for the interview, baba assured me that I would definetly get the job so I was very confident. Later when they didn't take my name, I was in a dilemma that how can my lord be wrong. I was just thinking this and was about to leave, all of the sudden a person called me and asked about so and so domain. I said I don't know, but still he wanted me in no matter even if I don't have experience they wanted to train me. Baba made it possible. Now I am here with a good job, where I have to work very hard and I know he will be always there with me guiding me, boosting me and what not….  :-* :)

om sai ram.

Hi Adwaita garu,
Your trip sounds really wonderful and filled with Baba blessings.
I'm planning to go for Baba darshanam along with my family members in Feb'08 with baba's great blessings
I have a few questions which will help my trip more planned with Baba blessings
1. What is the distance from Nagarsol to Shirdi and how long does the commute take?
2. What type of commutes are available from Nagarsol to Shirdi and any idea about the price?
3. Our train reaches there by 7.00 am and we need to catch the return train by 7.30 pm on the same day. Is this time good enough to go to shirdi, get Darshan and come back to catch the train?

Your answers/suggestions would be highly appreciated. Jai Sairam

Dear bapununna ji,

First of all hearty congratulations for getting permission and blessings from our father for going to our holy place shirdi. From nagarsol it is like 1-1 1/2hr journey to shirdi. As they have laid hi-way now so it may take only 1hr from nagarsol to shirdi. Taxis and vans are available from nagarsol station. The shirdi sansthan's bus will also come to railway station for the passengers but I don't know the timings exactly. The price for vans will be for 250rs/family. For 250rs he will allow only our family into the cab otherwise, he may charge around 30-50rs per person but he will stuff all the people into the van. 12hrs are good enough for the darshan. Do reach there before madyana aarati. If you ask the security guard at the Q entrance, he will tell you when to come for the madhyana aarati. Wish you a happy and safe journey. Baba bless you with a wonderful darshans and so many miracles to cherish  :). Please narrate your experiences after you come from shirdi. Let us see baba, through your eyes  :-*. om sai ram.

Adwaita garu,
Thank you so much for your detailed reply with congrats and wishes.
Now I got more confidence about the trip since we are planning with around 25/30 people of our relatives/friends with Baba blessings.
I really appreciate your reply and surely share my experiences after we come back from Shirdi.
Once again Thank you!

These days I am developing good habits like offering baba before eating anything. Earlier I used to forget no matter how much I wanted to remember but I am trying to not forget about the offering. Also I am keeping Prasad for baba everyday. The Prasad is a home made sweet which my mom sent me as I am living away from home. For 2 or 3 days I didn’t offer the sweet to baba. Later when I was asking him something in the question and answers book, he replied, asking me to offer him sweets. I just thought of buying sweet and give it as Prasad in the near by masjid. I had no clue that he was talking about the daily offering of sweet. While discussing something with my friend, she said another friend of us came to our room before leaving to office and she saw my pooja shelf and asked why I didn’t offer sweet to baba that day. Then it striked my stupid brain. The prefect guide. :) om sai ram.

Dear Adwaita ji,
Thank you for your suggestions and finally Baba gave us his wonderful Darshan to all of us. Since our trip to India was too short we had to return on the same day from Shirdi. Se we made all the reservations for our family/friends from here itself.
We 28 of us travelled in Manmad express from Kakinada to Nagarsol. Though you clearly told us that its possible for darshan in one day we were worrying a bit about the trip as we are travelling as a group with more people. The train was delayed by an hour to Nagarsol. We got down there and took 3 sumos/tracks to Shirdi and landed in a hotel called "Saiba" which is very close to Temple. After everybody got ready we went for darshan. We were little behind the schedule to attend for Madhyahna Haarathi. Since nice plasma televisions were arranged at several spots in the darshan queue, baba gave us an opportunity to view the Harathi. After Harathi He gave nice darshan to all of us. We are all so happy to had an opportunity to visit him. After darshan we bought some prasadam, did some shopping, had our lunch at one of the south indian restaurants and returned to hotel. we had enough time to rest at the hotel for some of the older people in our group. And in the evening around 5.15 we started from Shirdi in the same sumos we hired in the morning and reached 45 min before the train arrives.
With Baba blessings we all had his great darshan, nice trip and reached our homes safely.
Thank you so much Baba and give us an opportunity to see you again. 
Thanks - Bapu.

Nanna once again showed this miracle to boost up my confidence. This incident happened recently when I along with my family went to Malaysia to drop my sister. After few days we all planned to go to Thailand. After reaching Thailand we spent one day and had a good time. The problem started when we were returning form Thailand. Because of some irresponsible and weak checking by the Malaysian security people my sister had to suffer. They did not allow my sister to enter into Malaysia as she shouldn’t because of the single entry visa. People shouldn’t allow her to go out of Malaysia in the first case. Had they warned us earlier we would have returned back to their home. as we were having our return flight the next day we had to leave my sister, bro-in-law and their kid who is just 9months of age at the border. We came back but were tensed like anything. No one had any idea when they would come back to Malaysia. Before leaving, my bil said that they don’t know when they are going to come back so he asked us to carry on. We were traveling but all our thoughts were about them. my mind was blank at that time. Then I started sai naam jap. I told him, they should come back the next day same time. Until then I will do the naam jap. After 3hours of our journey, it started raining very heavily. In spite of heavy rain every vehicle was going on high speed. All of the sudden the car which was traveling before us lost control and was moving from left to right and right to left as in movies. I was shocked to see that scene. And we were lucky that the bus driver did not apply sudden breaks. He just slowed down the bus but still couldn’t miss to hit the car. By baba’s grace no injuries in the bus and in addition no vehicle was behind us. But the person in car had small injuries. He was unconscious. It took about half an hour to clear everything. Baba saved us. We reached home and I continued my naam jap. As soon as we reached home, I called my bil’s mobile and I couldn’t believe my ears. He said they were on the way to home. I just felt like crying. It was really a miracle. Otherwise no one guaranteed us that they would come soon. And after few minutes they  reached home. I never thought I would see them before coming back to India. That’s our nanna. They were able to return back just because of an Indian officer who is settled in Malaysia. He gave them a special pass and made my jeeju to file a case against the officer who didn’t warn us earlier about the single entry. I know its none other than our maharaj. baba please take care of your kids likewise every time. He’s always there wherever we go.

It was in October 2007 the last time when I went to shirdi. As soon as I prayed him regarding my personal problem he gave me job right after coming back from shirdi. But I never asked him for any job because my personal problem was more important to me than my job. One day I attended an interview. But it’s all very clear that the company was so fake. They took my certificates, no pay for first 6 months. They said they will train us but even after 3 months of joining we didn’t get the training. The training was in vijayawada. Also there was a bond for 3 years. I never wanted to join but when I asked baba he always wanted me to. Sending me signals all the time. I do not like to go against him and however joined in it. Stayed in vijayawada for 3months. But I always wanted to come back. I left everything to baba. I told him ‘when you are responsible for all this, you only should bring me out of this if something goes wrong’. Although I wasn’t at all satisfied with the company I got good friends and had good time with them. Vijayawada is famous for kanaka durga devi. So many people would come from very distance places for the darshan and here I would go now and then. That was the only good thing. After few days I could no more stay there, and came back to vizag after taking baba’s permission, also we had plans to go to Malaysia. After coming back to India I begged him not to send me back and he agreed for that. But I had my certificates, the bond and everything. It was all a big headache. Was not having any clue how would I get them back. I used to spend all my days and nights with lot of tensions. But somewhere I had the feeling that he will take care of everything. And one day all of the sudden I got the news that they are returning certificates if employees no more wish to stay with the company. It was a surprise to me. Then my dad and I went to vijayawada to get the certis. As we had lot of time we wanted to have maa’s darshan and upon reaching there, we learnt that the road way was blocked and we had to go by steps. Every time I used to go by bus along with my friends but this time we went by steps. Everything went on well and finally by baba’s grace my worries were gone. I understood that he wanted me to stay at maa’s place for 3 months. And right after reaching home, in the star plus serial baba asks one of his devotees ‘kya tum pahad chad kar maa darshan kiya?’ only baba knows his leelas. Baba bless everyone. Om sai ram.

Recently I went to the movie narnia. The movie was good. I was waiting for aslan through out the movie, whenever any situation abt saving comes I thought abt my god. I saw god in aslan. Like my god, aslan had all the nature under his control. He was calm and undisturbed. He roars with anger and there will be a nature calamity. His breath has the power to make any one alive. It was like my god in front. There was one situation when the narnians fight against the soldiers. The narnians has to lose and at the climax each and every narnian strive hard to save their soil till death. They go on fighting but innumerable soldiers keep on coming. It was like impossible for them. It was a 1:4 ratio. But still the narnians do not accept the defeat and continue their faith that at any movement their god is going to come. Even the audience think it’s impossible for them to win. When everything becomes too critical, then comes the god aslan. He doesn’t even come to the battle field, he just roars from a distance place and the nature wakes up. The whole nature is under his control. The trees, river fight for the narnians. And with in seconds the enemies were gone. I felt amazed when I saw god’s answer. It was unimaginable. Then I understood this is how god answers. This is how he saves his kids, this is my god. om sai ram.

Nanna wanted me to meet a saint and go along with my friend. I never had any idea how I would go and meet that saint. As nanna is against horoscopes and astrology, I didn’t want to go. But nanna made me understand that that person is just a messenger and he may tell me something regarding worshiping lords. I don’t know how it happened, all of the sudden archi my friend got ready to come along with me to a place which was 20kms away. She is the one who initiated the thought. She already had so many problems at home but still she was ready to come along with me. I feel good to have a friend like her and also feel guilty that because of me she had to face troubles. However we both girls decided to go there leaving everything to god. No parent will send their daughter that far if they come to know this. But we girls left everything to god and went there without any problem. Nanna was there along with us throughout the journey. Actually I thought of going alone, but nanna however arranged me some company. I was not interested upon what that person would say about my future and likewise he didn't say anything about my future but he asked me to go to murugan’s temple for 4 weeks and prescribed me to worship nagadeva on nagapanchami day(the same day). It was Tuesday when we went. May be that’s the reason. But while returning, I thought what’s the use. We come this long in hot sun but don’t know whether this is any useful. Why did he want me to meet this person. I just thought what is the necessity for me and for that girl to come this long and go in hot sun. why should we suffer. I don’t see nanna’s pic anywhere around, then all of the sudden I just saw nanna in physical form. He was going in the same direction. Archi said ‘ look at him, we girls are on vehicle but still we feel disgusted while he is walking in the hot sun with barefoot.’ Then it struck me that he too is suffering along with me. I felt terrible to see him suffering. I just saw his barefoot and it pierced my heart. I do not wanted to stop and look back at him I don’t know why. I couldn’t face him. Then a thought arise that I should see one more saffron wearing person coming in my opposite direction. No sooner did the thought even crossed my mind, I see a person. I have no more words. True that I love him, but I can not match his love with mine. His love for me is a ton times heavier than mine. om sai ram.

My trip to shirdi for the 3rd time was great without doubt, with full of nice experiences which increased my bondage with him. This time I didn’t keep any conditions, just wanted to pray and pray. This trip is special to me as I reached shirdi on Thursday. We went for the afternoon aarati. Being Thursday it was very much crowded. First when I saw him in the tv, nanna was looking beautiful as usual. I was waiting eagerly to meet him. After few minutes they started making preparations for the aarati. I was just watching him, talking to him whatever came in my mind and suddenly as if giving response to my answers the pujari comes and puts on a red color shawl upon him which was matching with my dress color. As they change the shawl for every aarati, earlier he was wearing pink. I wanted to run to him and hug him tightly. After the aarati when we went near nanna I just kept on watching him. This feeling can not be described, everyone of us might have experienced this, when we are right in front of nanna. No one disturbed me then. I just called him again and again. Forgot myself, didn’t care for anything nor for any wishes. Just saw him on and on. Stood there for a while like this then the pujari threw a garland upon me, it was then I came to my senses. I still didn’t want to move from there but slowly made my move with little steps, and after that again one more garland came and fell upon me. My mother was about to remove it from me and one more came down on me. I was left speechless, with three garlands. Gave him my prayers and don’t know when tears came rolling down. Sobbed like anything. Meanwhile I forgot to give the shawl which we bought. I again went to show the shawl while my parents were waiting outside for me. After giving when I turned to go out I saw a person dressed like baba holding a flag. He was like some guruji. I didn’t know what to say. He just saw me and said ‘om sai ram’ I also said the same. I touched his hand, and took his blessings. Didn’t see his face clearly. No one observed him that much. I also didn’t turn back after taking his blessings.   

The same evening nanna reminded me of chavadi procession. Although I knew about it I somehow forgot as we were very tired by evening. Suddenly I remembered at 8pm and when we asked a person, he advised us to go to dwarakamai rite away. We went there and sat rite in front of gate no.1, waiting for the procession to take place. After all the arrangements, we got good places to view each and everything clearly. Then it started…….i have no words to describe it. The drums, bells and everything it was just amazing. My mother and I was discussing just how lucky were the small kids who danced for those sounds. Right at that movement I thought that after this, even if anything happens to me then its ok as I have seen the chavadi procession. It was wonderful. After everything was over, the pujari came out with a packet of Prasad which he threw and it just reached my mom. The next day also we had nice darshan. This time we went to the Samadhi line. I bent and touched the Samadhi and when I got up I saw a packet of Prasad for me. He made everything smooth and blessed me with a wonderful darshan. This time we also had a good darshan and puja in trayambak. The place was amazing like heaven on earth.

Guru purnima celebrations 2008

I got up in the morning, and went to nanna at 4:45am. The pujari still didn’t come. Temple was locked and after few minutes one guy who usually attends aarati came and opened the doors. He asked me to come inside. We both were the first persons to see him. The lights were still not on. That guy got busy in other preparations. I stood there watching nanna. It was not at all a statue. Although he remains awake while his kids are sleeping the whole night, his face exactly resembled as if a cute little kid has got up from sleep just now. After the kakad aarati there was a huge puja performed for 1000 small pots which had water mixed with ginger and some other things. It was announced that abhishekam will be performed for baba with those 1000 kalash. After my turn the pujari asked me to stay beside baba and manage the queue. I was so near him, continuously looking at him and talking to him. By the time the 1000 pots were over it was mid day. I thought it would have been great if they also do it with milk but time was running away. No sooner did I think like that, the pujari handed me a packet of milk and asked me to pour over baba and clean him properly.

At 12:30pm there was annadanam. The pujari insisted that I should have my lunch there but there was heavy rush and no place to go inside. Even my mom was also waiting for me for a long time. I decided to have my lunch at home and return soon but when I went home, I learnt that my mom was still there at temple. I went back again and found her coming out of temple without having food as there was heavy rush. The annadanam was also going on at a separate place arranged for donors. I thought of giving a try as nanna called me back. We went there and the person recognized me and took us inside. This is how we had baba’s Prasad this time though I missed last time.

In the evening we distributed Prasad and the palki seva was excellent. I touched him and his small moorthy was wrapped with the shawl which I bought at shirdi. Was happy to attend all the aratis. The day before it rained very heavily, all the devotees prayed that the program should be successful at any cost and without doubt there was no rain the next day. Everyone was so confident that he will not disappoint his kids. After and all he is our lord and the only person who really cares about his kids. Baba bless all. om sai ram.

Few months back I went to Vijayawada along with my dad. As the trip wasn’t planned, we didn’t get confirmed tickets while returning. I told him the list of my problems and left everything to him. Everything did go smooth but while returning we just got RAC and the tickets were not confirmed. The TC promised us to give a seat if no one got up in the next station. We both were so tired and I just wanted to lie down at any cost but we both got only one berth. However I tried to adjust but it was difficult and not comfortable. So I asked my dad to sleep while I sat at corner leaning. It was almost midnight and all the seats were filled up. And I started fighting with him. When the next station arrived a family came, they were having a small baby along with them. An old person was sleeping on the lower berth which belonged to that family. The old person’s berth was the upper one. He couldn’t request that lady to occupy the upper one as she was having a baby neither he could take it as he was having a problem climbing it. I was watching everything silently. The old person calmly lied down leaving the upper berth, which no one would do. He didn’t even ask any of the passengers to exchange his berth. The TC came to know this and asked any one of us to go there. We had a smooth night and journey. My faith may shackle now and then without any good reason but he never breaks his promise, once we leave everything to him. Baba bless all. Om sai ram.

Sai Devotees,

SaiRam, I am happy to share following Experiences of Sai with you all.
 
Experience 1:
 
Needless to say I am a staunch devotee of Baba. In fact though I believed in Baba, my faith grew stronger only recently. I speak my heart out only to him and I started feeling that he is with me and is listening to my prayers.
 
Initially I just felt that how can such thing happen to a normal person like me. But he kept proving it to me that it is only through his grace that things were accomplished. Any small desire of mine was taken care of him. Whenever I went to Baba's temple, I always had a colour in my mind and always tested him saying he should wear that colour if he is omniscient. And to my joy, always found him in what I wanted. It could be as simple as me wanting to get a particular prasad and when my turn comes they start distributing the Prasad which I wanted. I kept thinking it might be just mere co-incidence until some point. But later, I gave up and starting believing that Baba can show miracles to me too and to a common person like me. He is with me now. I talk to him, fight with him, cry and shout at him too at times. I slowly started devoting most of my time to Sai. Then, I involved myself in Satcharita. I can't explain how much peace I got reading his Leelas.
 
I used to feel as if I was in some other world altogether. I gave up eating non-veg and started reading. I did two saptaahs and one normal reading. At the end of one Saptaah, the last one in fact, I wished that Sai should come home. It was at the same time where I was reading the other leelas through the Saidarbar devotees page. I read couple of miracles in which Sai came home to see the devotee and accept the prasad. I also had a desire to see him. I had not planned up anything as such but my friend, who is also a Sai devotee got me pooran polis, which is Baba's one of the favorite food. She got it for my parents but my inner soul said I should keep it for Baba for his naivedya.
 
I did so the next morning. After I finished reading the last chapter, I kept the pooran polis in front of Baba and also lit the ghee deepa. I informed at home that if some old or disabled person comes home, he should be given this to eat. I am still new to all this and I am learning how to offer prayers too. So, I did not open the cover and kept it without opening it. Then, my mom came and told me to take it out and offer it. When she was taking it out, it seemed as if two pooran polis were attached, as if Baba wanted two instead of one. So, mom kept it in front of him. I had decided not to partake anything until I get Sai's darshan. I waited very eagerly. I live in a place where you can hardly find any one coming to your door and asking for food. My mom asked me to give up and asked me to carry it and give it near temple as we were going to one. But I was stubborn enough to agree upon that. I said he has to come home to see me and bless us; I will not go searching for him. I wanted him to come to our doorstep and bless our home too. I waited and kept waiting. I kept looking at the photo talking to him.
 
 I went out looking for him. Then, desire arose in my mind that when I am going to temple, if I find an old person, let me give him money first and also tell him to come home and accept the naivedya. Thinking that I took out the money from my wallet and me and mom stepped out of the house. Baba knew how stubborn I was, for he made up his mind to visit me. As soon as I stepped out of the house, I saw a disabled man holding a stick with an elderly woman. I had never seen them before nor they looked to be begging for anything. They just approached 2 people on the footpath and looked at them as if to see if they could help. Felt may be they did this to show me that they were the ones I was waiting for.
 
The moment I saw them, I felt that Sai had come in this form. I remembered reading that Sai loves to feed the disabled people. I ran out of joy to get the naivedya and also the money in my hand. I offered both to two of them who were at my doorstep. That person kept looking at me and I could feel that glow on his face and knew for sure that it's my Sai. He smiled at me which I still can't forget. Then he lifted his left hand and bowed at me as if thanking me for the offering since his right hand was handicapped. I was filled with tears. It was all so quick. We had to go to the temple and mom was hurrying me up but I kept staring at that person thinking is this my Sai, would he come all the way to meet this simple devotee. It was unbelievable.
 
After this, I didn't see them going to any houses to beg but just saw them going to the next lane. I was wonderstruck. I still did not know what was happening. All I remember was as soon as I gave the food to Sai, it was as if my burden was taken away and I was relieved from all the tensions. I had headache and body pains before this but just at this moment, I felt it was all taken away by Sai. I am sorry if it is too lengthy but I can't stop writing His leelas.
 
We will continue with these wonderful Experiences of Sai in the Next issue. Sai Ram.
 
 
To be continued...

Jai Sai,

This is the best site I have ever seen so I decided to write to you my experience inspite of being tired of reporting this to other sites. On dec6th or so in 2006, a glass piece pierced my right foot, I went to the doctor here in Canada to check as I was leaving for India in 2 days time. He said nothing serious -just asked me to apply ointment and to put a band aid, which I did. Later when I had gone to Bahrain and then to India I was going through lot of pain and my foot started swelling- I was asked to try different remedies atlast my doctor friend in India told me it could get septic since I was having terrible pain- she told me to take antibiotic and if that doesn't work then a small surgery- I got scared -anyway I told her that the next day Jan4th 2007, I am going to Shirdi as planned earlier and when I come back I will get back to her. In Shirdi I was limping and walking with pain in the line to have darshan. When I entered the main hall I folded my hannds to pray to Baba and auotmatically my right foot went down on the cold floor and there was no pain- I thought when I walk i will have pain and had to move out as others should have darshan but A MIRACLE HAPPENED, I walked out of the hall normally without pain- OM SAIRAM - I cannot forget this moment in my life- the swelling reduced day by day and my foot became normal like before. I also climbed Tirupati Balaji hills 3340 steps on bare foot on Jan 16th orso in 2007! This is true and I want to tell u all to have faith in SAI- now I have become a very devoted person because of SAI- I firmly beliveithat HE will take care of me and my family for the rest of our life.

JAI SAIRAM!

My experience in New Jersey (USA)

By N. G. Ravi

It was on a tour of the U.S.A. and Canada during July-September 1998. I was accompanying a dance artiste on the Mridangam in the programmes. At the fag end of my tour, I was in New Jersey, to play Mridangam for an Arangetram program for a local artiste.

 

I was very much tired and exhausted after the hectic programmes and tours in many parts of America. On the day of the Arangetram I had pain in my hands and fingers, which were almost out of control. I was very much worried about my performance that day {12th Sept. 98).

 

Everything was ready on the stage. Sound checks were done. I was doubtful about my performance on the Mridangam. I was sure I was not at all fit to perform that day. As was my practice, I prayed intensely to Sri Sai Baba to save me from the awkward situation and to give me enough strength to my fingers so that I could do my part properly. I prayed: "Baba, the credit is yours, whether I fair well or bad." I could not believe myself how I could perform so well that day without my knowledge. I got repeated applause and appreciation of the audience and the other artistes. No doubt, it was only BABA who gave me strength to play so wonderfully well during the program and it was only Baba who saved me from a critical situation. I sincerely prayed to BABA with all humility and fall at his lotus feet. ‘Sai charanam sharanam mama.’ Om Sri Sai Ram.

I would like to share an experience that happend to me in 2003.

I passed out Computer Science and Enginnering in 2003.

I was searching for a job once I passed out desperately.

It was so imporatnt to me as we were in a position fully dependant on my earnings and I was the

bread winner of my family. I tried attending many aptitude tests in many companies but could not

get through. On October 18th 2003, I left roughly around 7:30 for a walk-in interview in Loyola

College in Chennai. The college was so crowded that it was so difficult to even get the form to fill

for the aptitude test. Once I got the form I filled it and all of us were redirected to take the

aptitude test. We took the aptitude test in the afternoon and waited for around two hours to get

the results. To my joy I found that I has cleared the aptitude test and was short-listed for the

technical interview round. I appeared for the technical interview in the evening . Before even I

could start wondering whether they would select me or not, the HR came and told me immediately

that I had cleared the technical round and asked me to wait for HR round. I was overjoyed and I

had to wait anoter 45 minutes for the HR round. I attended that also and I was told they ll

intimate the results ASAP. I went home at night and told me mother what all happened. She told

me that all the day she was not able to concentrate on her normal work from morning to late

evening and she was reading only Sai Satcharitra all the time when I was undergoing the

selection process. After few days I got a mail from the HR to collect the offer letter from them. I

was one among very few who got a job from a huge crowd of around 10,000 freshers who

attended the walk-in. I joined the company the next month. What else other than Sai's grace

could have bagged me the job. Today I have completed 3 years in the company and now I am in

UK on an overseas assignment.

JAI SAI.


 
Title: BABA FULFILLED THE DESIRE OF A DEVOTEE BYACCEPTINGHIS FOODIN DISGUISE IN SHIRDI
Post by: SS91 on September 07, 2008, 11:43:47 AM
BABA FULFILLED THE DESIRE OF A DEVOTEE BY ACCEPTING HIS FOOD IN DISGUISE IN SHIRDI ITESELF



A devotee from Devas in Madhya Pradesh came to Shirdi for Baba's darshan and stayed in Dixit wada. He used to take food daily in Sagun Mehru Naik's Hotel for both the times and reserved a plate for Baba and requested Baba daily at each time to come for meals. Baba would simply laugh at his request.


During the previous day of his departure from Shirdi a person of Nath Panth came to that Hotel at 10-30 P.M. When they were closing the hotel and asked Naik, "There was a plate of meals reserved for me. Please offer that plate to me". Naik made him to sit on a comfortable asan and served the plate. The per­son asked Naik to call the man who reserved the meals for him. Naik went and wake the man who was in deep sleep but he was not awakend. Naik retured and told the person that the man who had reserved meals for him was in deep sleep and not awakend.
Then the person told Naik "Always feed the hungry and gone away". On the next day, it was known to all about this matter. Shri Madhavarao Deshpande asked Baba whether He has gone for meals in Naik's hotel. Baba replied to him "Yes, I had gone to Naik's hotel and had my meals with heart's, satisfaction yesterday night". Afterwards it became wide publicity among devotees that Baba was going for meals even in Shirdi in disguise to satisfy His devotees. "Dear Sai devotees you are sincerely requested, that you should feed who­ever approaches you for meals even foregoing your own meals for that time. This will certainly satisfy Baba and thereby His Blessings obtained.


Jai Sai Ram.

Devotee Experience - Jalpa  

Since many days devotees were just dropping in lines in my mail box regarding their own experiences.

Today I am reminded of an experience of a friend of my family friend who was helped by Shirdi Sai Baba in getting job.

The devotee completed her graduation and was in search of a job. She had a desire to study further and due to lack of funds she decided to work. She had a good academic record and was confident that she would get good job soon. But from past one year she attended many interviews. Still there was no response from either side. She is a true devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba. She had faith that Shirdi Sai Baba will do the best for her. But due to no progress since one year, she lost all hopes of getting desirous job and decided not to attend interview for any job any more.

Before two months, she found an advertisement of a company seeking candidates. The company profile was good. So her mother and sister insited her to go for interview. She was not at all willing to go as she thought she had to return empty handed. She opened the cupboard and a snap of Shirdi Sai Baba was noticed by her. She mentally said to Shirdi Sai Baba that if He said Yes, then only she will go for the interview. She made two chits, one with 'Yes' and other with 'No' and asked Shirdi Sai Baba. She shuffled both the chits and got affirmative reply from Shirdi Sai Baba. Thus she went for the interview following Shirdi Sai Baba's instruction.



After the interview she was on the way to her home and she received call from the officer-in-charge that she was selected and had to join immediately. Moreover the pay scale, which she was offered, was much more than her expectation. Shirdi Sai Baba, thus, tested her faith and patience and gave the best to her. I wish her good luck for her bright future.

I am sharing this exprience  for the devotees who firmly believe in chits  will be very happy and Baba's faith  will multi fold .Sai guide us all. jaisairam  Happy Baba's day to all.

All this while I have been reading devotes experiences with baba and always remembered what I had experienced but never thought of writing  but today I think I should tell everyone what i felt. There are many instances when I saw sai in my dreams ......
I remember once I dreamt about a ghost and all members of my family are scared but only I was not scarred coz I had sai’s picture in my hand, I show that photo to the ghost and he runs away. Next day I shared my dream with my family and they all laughed at me. Coz to them it sounded crazy ghost and all but I was very glad and very happy.

There is another incident that occurred in my life but was never able to understand it.
Once me my dad and sis were on our way to Kolhapur for shopping (gold). We had got a lift till Kolhapur from my dad’s friend. We were not used to traveling like that with anyone and we didn’t know is driving so I had a fear in me that something might happen we may meet with accident or so… it’s natural when you go to distant places. so coz of that fear and since I didn’t have anything else to do may be, I was chanting sai name all the while  and was imagining that he his also traveling along with us. May be this continued for 5 to 6 hours or so. Once when we reached Kolhapur after freshening up my  dad’s friend suggested we go to  Mahalaxmi temple . when we reached there after praying and taking pradakshana I suddenly saw a sadhu wearing orange colored dress was sitting in the temple and he looked very relaxed , had a smile on his face .The best thing is he looked exactly like sai , my heart felt that he was sai but I could not go close to him and pray coz we had to hurry up . when I moved out of temple I was feeling sad coz I was not able to look at him a little longer. I told my sis about it she didn’t say anything much but I was distracted. Till today I cant figure out if it was sai himself or I just felt  that sadhu(saint)  was sai  because I was remembering sai so much….??????    Whatever may be the mystery behind this incident for me that moment was unforgettable!!

OM SAIRAM!!!

        Friends !I would like to share another dream of mine. I don’t think I can call it a dream, I think SAI decided    to tell me his feelings when I was fast a sleep.

   Every evening after bath I used to read sai satcharitra this was my routine for a very long time. (I started reading sai satcharitra because of my sis. She heard about it in one of the TV serials and told me as she knew I loved SAI a lot.) I never used to miss reading .Also I have this habit of kissing my sai satcharitra and also my SAI’s photo before starting and after I finish my prayers. (My family always made fun of me because of this habit)

Actually I wanted something from SAI may be that was the reason why I was praying so hard.
But SAI had no effect of my prayers, coz he had some other plans for me .He refused to give me what I desired. I was so annoyed with him that I decided not to pray to him I even made up my mind not to look at him  because I felt he was only giving me pain pain and pain. From that day onwards I stopped praying, I stopped looking at his photo’s, the moment I used to see his picture I used to move my glance away from him. I really don’t know how long this continued …..

           Then one night I dreamt that I have a plate with food in my hand and I’m searching for SAI to feed him coz he has not eaten anything past many days .I look for him every where but I don’t find him then I came back to my bed room and I see him sitting with a very sad face next to his photo. then i say to him i searched for you everywhere and you are in my room only. (I forgot to mention that I have a very big framed picture of sai in our bedroom the one with umbrella). Soon after that I woke up I don’t remember feeding him .

     Next morning I was trying to find out what my dream  must have meant  did SAI wanted me to feed some one or was he trying to tell me something after lot of thinking I came to this conclusion . SAI was hungry not for the food but for my devotion , for my kisses which I showered on him everyday he looked sad because I was acting stubborn and not praying to him. Also he meant not to search for him somewhere outside but he is very close to us we only need to open our eyes  .
       From that day onwards I started praying again .( and I have another picture of sai in a sitting position which I had been given in sai’s temple and I had kept in my wardrobe. SAI I saw in my dream looked exactly like the one in the picture, this I realized after many days. I carried this picture with me after my marriage and till date I keep this SAI photo with me wherever I go.)

om sairam!!!

This happened in 1995. I was not a Sai devotee at that time. Just that I have read the English
version of SaiCharita given by my neighbour and that was all. I had official work connected with
Paithan project at Aurangabad and my office being in NDelhi have to report after the work was
over in Aurangabad. By some oversight while booking ticket from Aurangabad to Manmad and from
Manmad to NDelhi, when I looked at the timetable, I mistakenly read the PunjabMail leaving
Manmad to be 01:15am instead of 00:15am (i thought the train was leaving 1 hour later than the
correct timing). So I booked a ticket in the passenger leaving Aurangabad at 8:30 pm for that date,
which is supposed to reach Manmad by 00:30. I was thinking that still I have 45 minutes for
catching PunjabMail which I have booked to NDelhi. On the date of journey I boarded the passenger
from Aurangabad to Manmad. One co-passenger started chatting with me and asked where I was going
etc. I said I had booked by PunjabMail from Manmad to NDelhi and I am going to catch that.
"What?" laughed he "by the time this reaches Manmad, PunjabMail would have left Manmad, man".
I looked up the TimeTable again and saw to my astonishment that Punjab mail leaves at 00:15
while this train reaches only by 00:30! I just prayed. "Who is the local deity whose photo is
seen in all houses, shops and offices in Aurangabad?. Shiridi Sai. I hereby pray to Shiridi Sai,
whoever He is, to get me that train. I promise to be His devotee for life!" When I reached Manmad,
I heard the announcement that PunjabMail has just pulled into another platform being late.
I ran to that platform with all my baggage (I had a PC, monitor, keyboard and some rolled up maps and my baggage,
those were not the days of laptops). The first-class attendant was already in the platform
shouting out my name (he wants to get the passenger in and get back to his sleep!), he was
happy seeing me and he hauled all my luggage in and I settled heaving a sigh of relief and
thanks to Sai, happy to reach back my family and office in time in NDelhi!

Dear Friends, :)
SAI, has heard my prayers, he helped me to prepare everything I had planned for him. And he himself came to my home to have food. It may sound strange but its true .I had asked BABA to come home as stranger if he accepts my POOJA. :-*

While I was cooking it was in my mind that SAI will come to eat food, even though I knew that strangers have never come to our place before .Only person who comes to our place is the grocery person and that too if we order something.

 That day while I was praying my husband called a friend of his for food, also a SAI bhakt. But since he was fasting he couldn’t come. I was disheartened but I didn’t loose hope. Than suddenly I heard my hubby talking to a person called Kumar. I was again distracted from my POOJA. My hubby was telling him our address, when I heard that this particular stranger was coming to our home tears started coming from my eyes I just could not stop crying I was not even able to read   :'( . (I had told SAI to show me some sign of his arrival may be this was it) my happiness new no bound I thanked SAI for accepting my POOJA and coming home.   :D

As soon as I finished I inquired about this stranger, he said a cable person is coming to repair our dish connection. Past one year we were after another cable person who promised to come but never turned out. (Actually what happened was that SAI bakht whom we invited for food while talking gave this person’s number to my husband and said he is asking about our cable work, so when my husband called the person even before my husband could call him or say something he said he is coming in 10-15 mins. (Earlier in the day I was telling my husband that SAI will have to catch a flight to come to our place in Ajman (U.A.E) from India so my husband jokingly said I will not go to airport to get him so in reply I said he doesn’t need you, he’ll come on his own and he also said tell your SAI to come after 8'oclock only coz we haven’t finish cooking yet.)

 When this cable person could not find our house he told my husband to pick him up and my husband left our house exactly at 8.00 and in another 10mins that person was home along with another man.  I had mentioned to my husband before he went to get them that my SAI is coming home and we can’t allow this people to go without food. My hubby just smiled at me may be he was thinking hat his wife is gone mad.... :D( later on I was teasing my hubby saying he didn’t want to pick up SAI but SAI forced him to do it)

 As soon as my husband came back with them I reminded him again to tell them to wait for food. They were not eager to eat food because they had their lunch at 6 in the evening but my hubby told them that my wife will not allow you’ll to go without eating .They didn’t have anything to say on this. Once I finished offering to SAI. We served these two strangers who had come in the form of SAI himself, I was the happiest person on this earth at that moment my faith had won, it was confirmed my SAI could hear me and has always heard. It was only me who kept fighting with him all time.

There were many more guests who were not invited but joined us for food that day (my friend’s colleagues)
We prepared  food for 7 people including SAI and eleven people had food and went. I wanted from heart that many people should come to my place and My SAI fulfilled each and every wish of mine.

  My husband found this strange he said all this was a coincidence. I agree it was coincidence but why did it happen on that particular day, cable person could have come on any other day he could come on Friday as it is holiday out here.

I would have been very disappointed if no stranger had come, but SAI fulfilled my wish.

There is nothing more I want from him coz I know all my other small wishes will be fulfilled by him sooner or later.

I trust him completely. He showed me that he loves me more than I love him.

There is nothing greater than SAI………..

I LOVE YOU SAI…. :-* :-* :-*

As today Monday is my dad's death anniversary I was on fasting from yesterday - basically have only one
rice meal a day and no onions, garlic or non-veg food, which is our community's culture.
As yesterday was Sunday, I wanted to visit the Sai Mandir at Strathfield Sydney and take part
in Aarti there. I had missed the 'candle light' aarti of Deewali day, and they were having
the same type of aarti, on Sunday for those who had missed Deewali aarti. I was thinking
"After aarti I have to have Prasad. Prasad here is usually whatever different people bring
and offer to Sai for Aarti, and distributed after Aarti. Prasad may contain items with  onions.
How I can not have Prasad, which is wrong?" So thinking I attended the Shej Aarti. (Each of
us get a change to wave the lights coming in a queue, here in Sydney). After the Aarti
strangely there were no rice items, no food with any onions. Only different types of sweets
like peda, suji halwa etc. See how Sai read my mind, and did not make me eat any Prasad
with onions. (Usually atleast one devotee brings things like veg Biriyani etc. but
this day nobody brought in any item with onions in it)

Shirdi sai say's learning was no substitute for self realization
 


Srimad Mahabhagavatham states that it is a leela (divine play) for god to create things. The Bhagavad Gita, on the other hand, states that it is part of nature to create and procreate. Unluckily no scriptures clearly answers the “Why and what” question about creation. Even in genesis we see the instrumentality of creation. Where Elohim transformed into Jehovah (“I am”) and created the universe in six days. In the Vedanta Sutra the word Leela”-Divine sport-“is used to explain creation as the desire less expression of god. Why does god want to express itself?

If tomorrow a human being is manufactured, within a lab, without the donation from male sperm and female egg, most organize religion in the world may fall. Will then man be called the creator?

“We can look at creativity as a mystery, brilliant new ideas are produced and we do not know how they came about. We can study and analyze the behavior of creative people but this will not tell us very much, because often such people are themselves unaware of what triggered the brilliant idea of their own creation.” Edward de Bono, the originator of lateral thinking and widely acknowledged leading international authority in the field of creative thinking who could deliberate systematic approach to creative demand, has said in his book “Serious creativity”.

My dear sai, I am confused... totally confused about the creation and its concepts. Kindly help me to go further. To acquire the knowledge and find confirmation to proceed further is getting difficult for me sai...I need your help...I put my head under my Baba’s feet and prayed for his guidance.

My next door persons son who came from abroad was handing over a new car key to his father...I could hear their conversation amidst my prayer.The father was asking half a dozen questions about the car though he was very happy about having one from his son...for which the son answers ...father, When a vehicle say a car is given to you learn to drive the car rather than all the time analyzing about the characteristics of its engine, capacity, it’s road worthiness and how better the creation is but immediately learn to drive the car to reach the destination. Why you want to spend so many analyzes before you start driving, I have bought you the car to show my gratitude you drive and reach the destination. It is better to know but it is still better you drive and enjoy the purpose...

I suddenly heard an inner voice saying...My dear child “While knowledge of texts and scriptures are useful, learning was no substitute for self realization”.

I realize you my dear sai I realize you .....without unnecessary questions...

Aum sairam

DEVOTEE'S EXPERIENCE


April to mid-August, 2001, was a jinxed period for Sangeeta, as there were many hurdles but at last she could make it to Shirdi. Here is a first person account. On Thursday the 16th August where Baba gave her some extraordinary experiences:

? “As we went to the Samadhi, my daughter was carrying some sweets on behalf of my two nieces, one aged three and the other one-and-a-half years old. As she handed them over to the priest, he at once ripped open the packet, put some in the prasad container, distributed some to the other three priests sitting at the Samadhi and rolled up his own share in a polythene bag and hid it under the cloth which was covering the Samadhi which is not the usual practice. As he did this, I got a feeling as if Baba had shown extreme love and told us how much these sweets meant to Him”.

? "Then that night while doing Parikrama at Nandadeep, I saw two or three people coming with hands folded in Pranam and heard some one saying “Baba Aaa Gaye”. I saw that there were two security guards looking closely at the ground. I halted for a moment and saw a small snake wriggling at the sides of Nandadeep. I also folded my hands in pranam and continued my parikrama. Later, when I wanted to find out about it, I was told that the snake was escorted out of the gate of the Sansthan Complex and we returned safely to Delhi. It is as if Baba had arranged to take care of us from the snake through the guards. Had we come little earlier it could have been dangerous. We came back to Delhi on Saturday the 18th of August very fulfilled and satisfied by our Shirdi visit mentally thanking Baba for the time we got with Him.

? "On the following Monday, the 20th August, some time past noon, an incident took place which made us realise that Shri Sai had protected us from a calamity which was to befall us. On Monday, at my parent's house, two men rang the doorbell. They had a slip of paper, which had my father's name and home address on it. On the reverse were listed some items which they said were sold at their shop. They asked my mother “Bauji hain kya”? She answered "Abhi nahin aye". The next question was "Mataji?" She did not know what overcame her but for some reason she did not answer that question.. They handed over the slip to her. She put it under the idol of Ganeshjee, which is placed on a shelf at the entrance of the house, below a life size portrait of Baba in the Dwarkamai pose and was about to close door when they asked her for some water. She closed the door, went inside and got water for¬ them. As she was handing over the glasses of water, she saw another
man standing at the foot of the staircase.

Just as she turned to close the door, they pushed her into the house. At this she shouted and cried for help but no one came. They pushed her into the kitchen and beat her up. They switched on the gas without igniting the burners and wanted to suffocate her by closing the kitchen door, but the door had been removed a few days ago to facilitate easy movement. Being frustrated, they pulled her hair, used abusive language and beat her up. During this period of nearly 15 to 20 minutes, she continued to scream 'Bachao Bachao' but no one came to her rescue. Baba had known of this all along, as how else would she have even have dreamt of getting the kitchen door removed about twenty days before the incident! This was the great Kripa of Shri Sai Nath who gave her the thought that there is no need of the kitchen door. The maid got so scared on seeing the scene that she hid in one corner instead of trying to raise an alarm to alert the neighbours. The intruders
kept asking for the keys. My mother's gums were bleeding, there was a gash under her lips and though for a minute she felt that she would die, some great 'Shakti' overcame her and she kept fighting with them.

In the meantime the third person had entered the house and was rummaging through the two wooden almirahs in the bedroom, while these two men kept torturing and beating my mother. Then the most unexpected thing happened. Gauri (my three year old niece) came from her pre-nursery school. She normally comes by taxi and usually my sister-in-law picks her up but that day she was not at home and the maid who worked for my mother was supposed to go down to pick her. But since no one went, her taxi driver kept honking at the gate while she climbed the stairs. The door, which had been closed by these intruders just opened as Gauri pushed it and she came in when she suddenly saw these people beating up her grandmother (Dadi Maa). She started to cry loudly. The intruders by then had got a towel to tie up my mother's mouth and put their hand on Gauri's mouth to muffle her cries.

By now my mother was not only exhausted but also overcome with fear for Gauri's safety. She stopped shouting and became semi-conscious. Now see the grace of my Baba. The third man came running to his accomplices suddenly and said ‘Chalo' and in an instant all three men ran out of the house. The maid saw one of them mounting a bicycle and riding away. And in an instant they disappeared.

Later when things were checked to see what was missing from the almirahs, it was found that not a penny had been taken. Every thing was intact. The grace of my Lord had made the men blind or how else would they miss the cash and jewellery in the almirahs. Not only that, they also did not notice my mother wearing jewellery on her person. The most surprising thing ¬that they had left behind the crow bar; which they brought for opening the almirahs or safe at the feet a Sai. They just forgot to carry it back - it remained on the shelf right under the portrait of Shri Sai. Who else can take care of his children in the most miraculous way?

Om Sai Ram! I am very much impressed by reading the experiences of my fellow Sai bhakth. I would like to share mine too. I have been working in some junk field (software) for past 12 years and recently I decided to change my field to dotnet. I prayed Saibaba and submitted my resume (fake experience). I was successful with phone interview and went for personal interview. But I was not selected for that position. It was a contract to hire position. I was little sad, but I have full confidence that Baba will show me the better one. That is TRUE. By HIS holy grace I was selected for permanent position in some big company. I have to start my new job from 28th. I am sure that Baba will definitely take care of these devotees. We need to have Sradhha and Saburi. Hope we all will develop those important qualities and reach his HIS holy feet one day.

 

Om Sai Ram!

Satsang Affection of Sri Sai Baba by Omprakash S. Mehta

Affection of Sri Sai Baba

This event is of 1st September 1985.
I had invited some of my guests for lunch and they were sitting in the drawing room where in every corner Sri Sai Baba's Photo's were hung.
Suddenly one of my guests started joking,
"Mr.Mehta, you have got Sai Baba's picture every where in the room;
 what do you get by this?"
I told them every thing which I wished to the peace of mind and that I get from the feeling that from every direction God is looking my activities.

Another guest asked, "Does it mean that Sai Baba knows what you do at what time?"
 I said, "Yes, he also knows that today you have been invited here".
Suddenly my hand was raised and there appeared Baba's Vibhuti.
They were looking surprisingly I told see this is God's gift, you are very lucky
that God has given this at the right time to bless you.
They were very much impressed by this and asked me the way of worshiping.
I told them to remember Him whenever the time permits them from the depth of heart.
Thus Lord Sai helps me in increasing the love and devotion towards him.
I pray to the almighty to show the same affection to all other loving devotees too.

Omprakash S. Mehta
Sirpur, Kaghanagar.

USHA

On Thursday, Nov 29, 2007 I went to Sai Baba temple in Mylapore. I entered the temple at 10.30 AM at 10.40 when I wanted to subscribe for Anna Dhan, I found my purse missing. Mandir is flooded on all days, especially on Thursdays, it's packed. I was sure at 10.30 I had my purse in my handbag, because my husband gave me money for the subscription, I had kept the money in my purse and put it inside the bag. It was our Wedding Anniversary and I was terribly upset, to be very honest, I could not pray sincerely that day. I had all my cards in the purse. Fortunately, there were a couple of police constables in the Mandir, and I lodged a complaint immediately with them and blocked my cards by calling the banks from the Mandir itself. Returned home that day with a heavy heart and prayed SAI MA to get back my purse with the cards, because my purse had all the cards like medical, pan, etc?.

Days elapsed, months elapsed. Suddenly on 22 March 2008, I got a call on my cell from a gentleman that he had found my purse on the road. . While he was standing in the bus stand, he saw my purse on the road, he picked it up and found a few cards along with my business card. He called me immediately the moment he saw my business card. He said in a couple of hours, he will let me know as to where I should go and pick up the purse. I was skeptical and could not believe at the first instance. That gentleman shared his contact to me, so I called my husband who was away, to get in touch with that gentleman to collect the purse.
In the evening when my husband was returning from office, he had been to that gentleman's house to collect the purse. My husband was dumb founded to receive the purse along with Sai's prasad. That gentleman had been to Shirdi and just returned the previous day. He has given a couple of rare photographs of SAI MA, Udi along with the purse. WE WERE SPELL BOUND.

Recently I took my teenage daughter for her annual dental examination. Much to my dismay the dentist told me that she wanted to talk to me since my daughter had a white patch on her tongue. I was worried since a white patch can be a symptom for pre cancer /cancer. I prayed very hard to Sai Baba the ever benevolent and read the Sai Charitra in a week. I also mixed a little Vibudhi in water and gave it to her every day.We took an oral biopsy and by Babas' grace the report was normal and there were no abnormal cells. I made avow that I would post my experience on the Sai Vichar web site. Thank you Sai Baba and please continue to help your bhaktas overcome their problems

Dear All,

Wish you a Prosperous Happy New Year!In month of December we had a trip to Kalahasti,Chidambar am,Tirunageswara m,Tirupathi, Guruvayoor, Shani Shigna Poor,Shegaon and our most favourite SHIRDI.

Experience in Shirdi:

As usual we got accomodation in a hotel infront of Chavadi.We stayed for 2 and half days and attended 2 Kakad Aarti,now it seems that we should now enter the Q at 1am in morning to get close watch of Kakad Aarti.On second day I got seat in last row of the raised platform adjacent to Dwarakamyai and at no point I had a direct vision of Baba's tomb in the begining but I was feeling happy as my sister got a seat in corner and experiencing direct view of Baba(it was her first time attendance in Kakad aarti).

I was eager to see the mangal Snan which is my favourite session, as the time reaching close to Mangal Snan other devotees next to me start moving slowly to get clear watch of Baba.I don't belive from the moment mangal Snan started I got exact position from where I had direct view of Baba.I would like to thank my nephew Hrishikesh( 4 yr old) who wast trying rush to my lap from his mother during this session due to which other devotees started offering me extra place. Greatest Experience of this time:

I had promised  Baba to offer 3 big garland of complete red rose in different situations which I went to full fill.It was 9pm at night and I bought 3 big garlands and was running towards the Q, luckily it took 5 mins for me to reach infront of Baba as there were nobody in the Q.Surprisingly the security guard welcomed me with a broad smile on his face,Pandit was happy seeing garlands and kept his hand one me and asked "What you want from here"" except rose there was nothing to take at that time.Again that security person brought me and ask stay in a corner, still I can't belive I satyed for 20 mins infront of Baba.The thing I regret at time I was alone there as my family went to room as they were tired after the Shani Shignapur trip.

That 20 mins like I become like Ice, can't speak anything and felt like smile on Baba's face. I'am very happy to share my experience with you all,I had promise to Baba that I will keep my first childs name as SAI and will bring to Shirdi as soon as possible whch I did.Now she is known as Sai Lakshmi/Sradha.

Jai Sairam,

Saibaba has really changed my life and thoughts and surrendered myself to Baba's feet. Earlier my life is full of tensions and worrries, but from the day i came to know about Baba, i am relieved of all tensions and worries. I used to pray Saibaba  - help me in getting my own house and Believe me within one month, i have finalized the deal. This has made my faith stronger and stronger. Even a small wish of mine is fulfilled by SAI BABA. Today i love to live in Baba thoughts day and night. Ill feelings for others are removed. My day starts and ends with Baba name.

After studing about Baba life, i start thinking that Baba is God and Baba lives such a simple life. Shiridi people are very lucky that Baba stayed in shridi and i use to think - kash i should have born in Shridi when baba is there, but it is our karm or faith which decides. Taking Baba name is not enough, but we all should try to follow Baba teaching - "Love and respect All & sab ka malik ek".

I have Baba photo's i my home and it brings happiness among the family members and even i feel very confident and tension free. This is the mahima of Baba.

Me along with my wife and son try to attend Baba shej arti every day and also i taken Tata sky connection, just becuase i can do active darshan of Baba in shridi.

I will pray to Sainath to bless all.

Gayatri, Atlanta, GA, USA.

   I would like to share My Experience with all SAI Devotees. My Husband has asked to one of his Friend to apply for H1for my brother-in-law (My sister's Husband) on August 2000. He told that he will apply & October 1st week we got a mail from him saying that Attorney has send papers to INS & we are waiting for the Receipt number normally it takes 20 to 30 days to get the SRC or LIN number (Receipt number). 

Days are passing but we didn't hear any news from him. Finally in December He told that he is going to withdraw the application because he didn't hear anything from INS. I was really very sad after hearing from him & I was literally crying, my Husband told nothing to worry, we will apply through the other Company.

 

 In Jan 2001 we applied through other Company & we got a mail that attorney has send Papers on Jan30th & this time I was desperately waiting for the receipt number & I was counting the days almost 4 weeks gone but we didn't hear any thing finally we heard that INS has send Papers back because some of the papers are Missing & even Check also got missed so, he is sending again with new set of documents & I was really upset & thinking why its happening to me, from few weeks I became a Regular Visitor of this site & I read one of our devotees experience that after reading Sai Satcharitha for 7days on 8th day itself Miracle Happened & her desire got fulfilled.

So, I thought of reading Sai Satcharitha with full belief  & I started reading on April 12th & I finished by April 19th,'GUESS WHAT' on April 20th we got a mail saying that My Brother-in-law 's Receipt number (LIN Number) has come.  I prayed god that if this Miracle Happens I am going to share my Experience with all Sai Devotees.  I became very happy that Baba heard my Prayers. With BABA blessings Surely he will get his H1 & very soon we will see them in U.S.  Finally Dear Devotees Sai Baba is a Karuna Murthy, He will give what ever you want, and just we should believe him With Whole Heart.

A Sai Daughter


Dear Sai Baba, I am terribly sorry for the delayed posting of this message. It happened back in 2005 on the "Boghi day"(day before Pongal) while I was reading my last Pasuram of the Tirupavai, I got a call that my mom has fallen down . We were having a terrible ice rain storm that day and my mom was going to her work. I quickly ran down stairs to find her crying in pain and she was unable to stand. She told me that when she fell down nobody came to help her except for an African American school kid who was passing by. He immediately called us and also tried to help my mother stand. A cop then approached us and called an ambulance and by looking at my mom told us that she might have broken multiple ribs and back bone. I almost had a heart attack and started to cry but controlled as I did not want to panic my mother. I instantly prayed to Baba that if she if fine I will post it in this newsletter. Much to my surprise the doctor who examined her told us that she only had a muscle tear and would require rest and some heavy doses of Tylenol. She took rest for about a week or two, I kept giving her udhi mixed in water and she gradually improved and was back to her normal routine life. I am so thankful and grateful to my mother Sai and at the same time very shameful for not writing this for so long.

EXPERIENCE OF DEVOTEES:

Raja

It happened last year Nov 12th. Me and family visited Shirdi. We had good darshan of Shirdi Sai. At that time my two year old daughter slept she could not see Sai Baba .We came out from temple and we had breakfast in hotel and I asked my wife to draw money from ATM. Me and my daughter were waiting at hotel suddenly one beggar came asking dakshina. I did not see her but my daughter saw her. Suddenly my daughter pointing her hand started telling Baba, Baba, Baba. At about the same time my wife returned and given dakshina. My daughter was so lucky She had darshan of Sai bBba. Thanks a million times Baba for helping me and my family. Every time I have asked your help you have been here for me.

Devotee

Thank you Baba for helping me process my passport re issue as I was twice objected but by your grace I again went back the same day and was able to finish the paper work before the office closed. Thanks for giving me darshan on way and fulfilling my long desired wish of touching the feet of yours. Thank you for showing me that how you carry me in your arms during tough times so smoothly. I am sorry I was so impatient. Baba, please explain last nights dream Baba please.

SaiRam Lata ji,

Wonderful are Sai's leela. You are indeed blessed by Baba.

These 2 coins are the cardinal principles of Sai Path  'Shraddha' and 'Saburi'.

Sai Baba explicitly asked for these two qualities in His devotees by giving his self-experiential

instance that his 'Murshid' or Master asked from him only two pice -

one Shraddha and other the Saburi.

Sai will very soon bless both your brother and sister .

Shanthi

There are a couple of heart moving experiences I had with BABA,I will tell one such experience, actually my mother's experience which instilled such firm faith and belief in Baba in all of us. It is so true that a Mother teaches us the first things in life, even if she may not be qualified.

My parents have two daughters (my self and my sister), after my sister was born in 1975, my mother got her tubes tied as she did not want any more children. For eight long years the tubes were tied, then one day she gets up saying that she got a dream and saw a boy who said that he will come to our house, around the same time we all were getting to know Baba, she was extremely confident that the boy was none other than Baba, and based on a mere dream, she convinced my father and got herself recanalized. Her gynecologist told her that after eight years the tubes have become weak, and she has very slim or perhaps no chances of conceiving, and even if she did there is no guarantee that she will have a boy. But my mother was very simple and she said she knows she will have a boy. She also vowed that her full family would go to Shirdi, after my brother was born, and of course, when a person has so much faith in Baba, can anything go wrong? My brother was very healthy and a chubby baby, he is now 22 years old, I pray to Baba to always be with him and guide him. We went to Shirdi for the first time after he was born, just before starting for Shridi, again Baba comes and says that He will be in our house before us, and surprisingly, when we came back, when my sister tried to open the door she fell off, the door was already open, nothing went wrong, nothing was lost, it was as if someone lived in the house and the house was never locked, when we actually bolted it. With a heavy heart I have to say that my mother passed away just 3 months back, at the age of 51. She had a lot of health complications and a very young age but I am sure Baba is taking good care of her.

Sai devotee

It so happened a key ring was given to me by my aunt who is a Sai devotee. The key ring had Baba's photo in it and was touched at Baba's feet in Shirdi, as I had never visited Shirdi so the key ring was very special to me and I kept it in my purse always. One day my purse was stolen and I lost some money as well as some materials inside it, but I was terribly sad that I lost the ring; I was upset because of the ring. One fine day I found a key ring with Baba's photo in it and a small key of a vehicle. It was on my TV set in the living room. I asked my husband and my brother, whose ring it was and nobody could answer for months. After waiting for a month or so, I finally knew where it must have come from. I still keep the key ring in my purse. This is one of the hair-raising experiences I had with Baba

Saraswathi

I have wanted to write this experience for quite sometime. We have visited Sai Baba's temple in Pittsburgh, PA last month. After having darshan of Lord Balaji, we went to Baba's Temple. We thought it was 7 pm at that time, as we did not change the time in our watches according to DST. The temple will be closed by 8 pm. Suddenly I realized the time change and ran to the front door, but it was closed already as it was 8 pm. I was so disappointed and came back to our vehicle, but the temple has another door too. Priest and some other devotees were coming out from that door, closing the temple. They saw us and told us that it is time for temple closing but we can have darshan of Baba. I was so glad to hear this, before that I wanted to offer $ 5 to Baba and hoped to have Baba's arathi. We went inside and bowed to Sai. One of my nephews rang the bell for the priest. The priest came in and said they already did Shej arathi and put Baba to sleep so we are not suppose to ring the bell. We said sorry and then he gave prasadam to us. But, I could not see the arathi so I got so disappointed. Anyway, I felt so happy for having Baba's darshan and prasadam. In that hurry, I did not offer the $ 5, which I wanted to offer (actually, I did not have any change. I used it in previous temples.) We all came out, as it was time for them to go home. But after coming to exit door, I realized that I forgot my purse in the temple, so my mom and I went to get it. To my surprise, I saw Baba's deepam (arathi) behind Hundi (Hawala). My joy knew no bounds and my purse was next to that. Thinking that Baba might want me to offer Him which I came to offer in the first place, so I checked my purse, in my emergency pocket (where I keep extra money, in case I run out of my usual spending money), I found exactly $ 5 and offered that to Baba and got his blessings. And also, before in that hurry, I forgot to bow Sai, then I bowed Him completely (Sastang Namaskaram).

I am a pharmacy graduate from India. I have moved to Canada in February 2002. I had a dream to establish a pharmacy store in Baba's name something like "Shirdi Sai Baba Drug Mart". I had applied for a franchise for a leading Drug store chain in Canada. The process to get a store (franchise) involves couple of steps. Firstly completing certain management courses and secondly, be successful in at least two interviews with head office. With the blessings and grace of Shri Shirdi Sai Baba I have got a store in Brampton, Canada with just one interview, I had only completed one course out of three management courses that I was supposed to do.

Most of us know the importance of a resume to apply for any job in North America (more so in Canada). It is because of Lord Sainath's blessings even without forwarding my resume to the head office I had been chosen from the four prospective candidates who applied for the franchise. I got this news on Wednesday on 10th May 2006 around 6:15 pm. I have decided to name the store as "Shirdi Sai Baba Drug Mart". On the same day at around 8:15 pm I was involved in a car accident. I was driving the car when a pickup truck crashed into the rear left hand side of my car. Again, with Baba's blessings, none of the passengers (I and my friends) was seriously hurt and all of us are safe. If the accident had occurred a couple of seconds before I do not know what would have happened to my friends and me. Baba, please bless all your devotees and help me to increase my faith and devotion towards You.

om sai ram,
my experiences with saibaba begins when i was a kid and just while passing the temple i prayed to him to grant me some wish and it got fulfilled instantly. that time i started beleiving in him.
but years passed and i never prayed to him or never asked for anything. if i passed the temple i bowed and left. yes i visited shirdi for about 3 times. sometimes i saw the show on saibaba on television and had heard about sai sat charita. i wished to know what it is.
one thursday recently i decided to go for sai baba's aarti in the same temple near my house. i reached late and was standing last. i wanted to see baba's face. but i culdnt see it since there were tall guys in frnt of me. it so happend that the pujari came to distribute aarti and everyone shuffled and i landed in a place where i culd see baba more clearly and at the same angle where baba sees. i was pleased with that and i returned home with a booklet which was distributed in the temple. it again had a mention of sai sat charita somewhere. i was curious to read it. so i found one pdf file online and since i m a fast reader and i liked it so much i completed it within a week. that night i dreamt about baba and he asked me to read ramayan. and i felt like giving baba flowers. so next day i wnt to the temple with 25 roses. i gave it to baba, he seemed very pleased and happy and i wanted to sit there in the temple. but i looked at baba as he was askin me to leave now. so i left. again in my mind i was reminded of ramayan. i said if i really have to read it show me some sign. the same time i was surfing the tv and i saw the cartoon film of hanuman. and i smiled to myself. but i dint have ramayan at my home. co-incidentally my father took me to iscon temple the same week and there i bought the ramayan. i started reading it and after some time i stopped and completely forgot about it. while surfing the net for sai baba i again came across the statement about reading ramayan. now i havent read in a while but i know i will soon finish it and its there on the back of my mind.
i wanted to share my experiences with baba and am waiting for the right time. i have typed and kept this in my mail box. i will post it whn i get the admission in the institute i have applied. i know baba will fulfill my wish and hence i took the efforts to type all this. but i want to post something big from my baba. so i will wait till that day. :) love you baba. thanks for all that you do for others and me as well :)

i have got the admission. thnks

Devotee Experience - Dr. Pushpa
Today, while going through previous editions of Sai Leela Magazine, I had a glance of an article which was named as 'Sai Sahcharya'. At first I presumed it as an article regarding spiritual teachings of Shirdi Sai Baba linked with some act of His. But on further reading I realised that it was an experience of Sai Devotee Dr. Pushpa residing in Ambala Cantt. I was so touched to read it that I was almost in tears and decided to translate it.

Here is the article:

This universe is created by Shirdi Sai Baba. Sai Baba listens to us every moment. He stands besides us in life's most critical moment and makes us feel His presence. The same thing was experienced by us on June 15, 2006. It was Thursday. Our beloved Biji (grandma - here devotee's mother-in-law) health was deteriorating day by day. She was very weak physically, but was fit mentally. Suddenly on Saturday June 10, 2006, her health was at worst stage and she had to hospitalised. My daughter Astha has immense devotion Shirdi Sai Baba. She had bought some small pictures from Shirdi. I placed one of them near to my mother-in-law's chest and the other was placed on the wall near to her bed where she placed her head. Since then her health started improving. On Wednesday, June 14, 2006 she asked for Sai Baba's Prasad (offering). We told her that the next day was Thursday, so we will give her Prasad the next day. But when we reached hospital the next day, we found that Biji was put on ventilation. She was having difficulty in breathing. I placed Vibhuti near Sai Baba's Photo and then placed it in Biji's mouth. After sometime Biji's breath started declining. All of us started looking each other and tried to hide our tears with each other. Our hearts were full of fear. The very scene of death made us speechless. There was dangerous silence in Biji's room. After one-two hours her health become worst. The most dreadful moment was that when she tried to speak something by pulling all her breath with full energy, but was not able to utter a single word. Biji called each one us, moved her lips, tried to speak with full energy from within, but no voice would come out. We were very helpless in this pathetic situation. Again and again, only this thing was coming up in our hearts that what is that wish of Biji which we are not able to fulfill. We all took our ears close of Biji's lips one by one, but every time the words were unclear and the results was nill with 'no word'.

After some time it was felt that she was calling Apurva - Astha. So, we called them up and they reached within one hour from Chandigarh. Astha started crying taking her grandma's hand in her hand. Few elders said now God has taken away her voice and now her last moment has come. But, Astha replied back saying why do you say so? Sai Baba will surely cure her. After that, she sat aside Biji's head and started crying and was doing Sai Naam Jap simultaneously. Tears will falling from her eyes continously and in very breath 'Jai Sai Ram'......'Jai Mata Di' was heard. Biji kissed her faced and became speechless. That sight of love touched our hearts from deep within, but we were helpless. We felt as if a big mountain has collasped on our hearts.

Suddenly in the evening Biji called "Pushpa" and asked me to bring milk till 8 o'clock. After some time Biji started speaking. The sight was worth seeing where grandmother-grand-daughter expressed their happiness with tears. Hats Off to this miracle of Shirdi Sai Baba!!! All the persons who were familiar with Biji were surprised to see her speaking. Shirdi Sai Baba gifted her divine speech. Before one night, Biji wished to eat Makke Ki Roti and Sag (Chapati/Roti made from corn flour and vegetable, a special Punjabi Dish) and this wish of hers was fulfilled by our friend Dr. Bansal.

After this every day Biji and Astha talked to their heart's content and played pranks like kids. After taking rest for some time the same sequence of talks started and in between words like 'Om Sai Ram' and 'Ram Ram' were heard. Astha also missed bank training in Chandigarh. She passed very short time at home and went running to hospital. When I asked her, she said I am dying to talk to Biji, Baba has given me the opportunity. Biji was in deep pain, but when she used to talk to Astha, her pain would vanish. No one knew what talks were those which gave both of their minds happiness of Brahma Lok. We were indebted towards Sai Baba after seeing this miracle. This sequence of talks continued for four long days. The ventilation was removed. All the reports also turned out to be normal. We all took a breath of relief. On Sunday Astha and Apurva were busy with Biji with their playfull pranks till 11 P.M. When Biji was sleepy, they left hospital with their father.

Since few months, we were watching Sai Baba Serial telecasted on Star Plus, but from past one month it was not telecasted. So we were not able to view it. But when we started television at 9:10 P.M. it was being telecasted. Tatya Patil's father's death was being telecasted. Tatya Patil's father was on his death bed, in the end his soul gets merged with Shirdi Sai Baba and He says 'I cannot give him life any more. We have to adhere to the law of nature. Death is certain.' After this the serial ends. My heart again started trembling with fear of death. In this way Sai Baba stamped whole situation with His grace and also gave an indication of future happening.

Whole night the scene of death was roaming in front of my eyes and at last I prayed to Sai to take me with Him in the same way and make me one with Him. O Sai, shower your grace on me till my last moment.

In the morning, routine started. My daugther left for Chandigard and I was getting ready for hospital and the news of Biji's death came to my ears. Our hearts were full of sadness but the whole incident was blessed by Sai Baba was thus proved. Biji's getting back her voice with the grace of Sai Baba, last scene of the serial, my fear of death, the reason behind everything was now clear and in front of my eyes.

Our Biji became one with Sai Baba after complete recovery from her illness. All desires of her heart were fulfilled in these four days. She could meet every near and far relative before leaving this world. Biji met with everybody consciously.

Astha and Apurva were not able to control themselves seeing the dead body Biji. It was very difficult to make them calm. They were saying continously that Biji had recovered. Sai Baba took her out from illness and then why did He do so? Suddenly Astha saw Biji in white sari with Sai Baba. After this she became calm and told me her experience. She even consoled her father. It was felt as if the death ceremonies of Biji was taken care by Sai Baba. The next day photograph of Biji was framed, she looked same as it was seen by Astha. Biji's face seemed as the face of loving and caring mother. It was hanged near calendar of Sai Baba on the wall. Such an arrangement was made that it appeared as if the photo-frame of Biji was a part of the calendar. When Astha saw it, she said that she had seen the same Biji....!!!

The whole incident became memorable to us. Each incident was a mirror effect of miracles with grace of Sai Baba. We will always remember this divine lovable form of Sai Baba.

Bow to Shri  Sai-Peace Be To All.

Shirdi Sai's Care for His Devotees

Chidambar Keshavrao Gadgil was devotee of Sai Baba. He was a government official. He was a secretary of town’s collector. Afterwards he became Mamlatdar of Sinnar. Sinnar was near to Shirdi and thus he had opportunity of getting Baba’s darshan now and then.

After some days, he was transferred to a far town and had to join immediately. So he started off without meeting Sai Baba. The very thought that he could not get darshan of Sai Baba settled in his mind and thus troubled him. But how could merciful Sai Baba forget him. See His greatness. With heavy heart, he sat in train from Kopergaon. When the train started, suddenly a packet of paper came from the window. On opening the packet it was found that it contained Udi. This Udi he kept with him safely.

After some months, Shri Gadgil again had the opportunity of Sai Baba’s darshan. Sai Baba asked him directly, ‘You could not come, so I sent you Udi, did you receive it or not?’ Gadgil was in tears after hearing Sai Baba’s words. He preserved Udi in Taviz and he had Udi till the end of his life.

Baba way to Predict Someone’s Death In Shirdi

In Shirdi village, if anyone was to die, Baba used to go to the borders of the village and blew a conch shell (a conch shell is blown before prayers are stared to make the atmosphere pure as per Hindu tradition). So the villagers came to know that someone would die the next day

The stop of all Dharma, Always Chant Sai Sai


I, Sunil Walvekar reside in Borivali Mumbai. I have a shop of watch repairing since 1993, which runs with Sai Kripa. I started this business on a small bench. My wife, my brother, and I all work hard in unison, remember Sai Baba every minute and thus by Sai Baba’s grace we can earn money which is sufficient to run the expenses of our family.

There are approximately 25-30 pictures of Sai Baba in my shop. My daily routine consists of light incense sticks and Dhoop, offer garland and flowers and do Aarti at 12:00 in noon and at 6:15 in the evening. Approximately 70-100 customers visit my shop everyday from 9:00 in the morning till night. Many people come only to bow to Sai Baba. One devotee sometimes comes to give coconut for Sai Baba. One Sai devotee comes daily to offer some prasad before the noon arti.

Before few days, a lady came for repairing a watch at my shop. I was offering a garland to Sai Baba pictures after lighting the incense sticks. She stood there silently for much time. After finishing my daily worship to Sai Baba I took the watch to be repaired and asked her to come the next day. The watch was repaired and the lady came the next day to take its delivery. I gave him the repaired watch and she paid the charge of it. After this she suddenly asked me a question that what does the flowers and garland, which you offer to Sai Baba, cost you for a day? The question was unexpected for me. I answered saying that it costs me approximately Rs. 90 per day and in this way we give back to Sai Baba what He gives us and so we are not worried of this cost.

Listening to me she immediately gave me Rs. 90 and requested me to offer the garland and flowers to Sai Baba on her behalf for that day. When I expressed my desire to ask her the reason for her offering she answered me in a low voice. She started by introducing herself as Christian by caste. Till today I have never got a chance to go to another temple leaving my church nor there was any occasion of same sort. Yesterday when I came to your shop for repairing my watch you were busy in your worship. I was in very difficulty and confused in my personal matters. I put this matter before Sai Baba and today when I have come to you, all my problems are solved with the grace of Sai Baba. So I want to express my gratitude towards Him by offering Him this gift of flowers. I hope that you will surely fulfill my wish. I was overwhelmed with joy by hearing the words of that lady and I bow from the deep of my heart of the God of all Caste Our Beloved Sai Nath Maharaj.

Dear all Sai Bhakts,

Here are my wonderful experiences with Sai Baba over the last few weeks.

I have been going through probably the toughest phase of my life since the last month or so. And as is Sai Baba's leela, he decides how and when a person turns to him for helping him get through his tough times.

On Saturday, i.e Feb 7th, i was contemplating on what sins i might have committed and decided to ask Baba for forgiveness. Instantly i recollected that I had been to Shirdi in Dec 2007 and had returned with quite a few packets of Udhi from there. But then i came home and carelessly put them somewhere and forgot about them. I also remembered that after a few months i had found those Udhi packets, but had again put them somewhere and had now forgotten where I had kept them the last time. I was not even sure if they were inside my house or not. I felt extremely bad for the disrespect that I had shown to Baba's favourite prasad, which is so revered by everyone...
Then yesterday morning, i.e Sunday Feb 8th and just some 14-16 hours after i had expressed my regret for the misplaced Udhi, my Mom came and sort of in a mildly scolding manner told me to clean my table. All mothers do that with their children, right, however old their children might become.  But how many times do we take it seriously and clean our rooms. I do even not know the number of times i would have ignored my mom asking me to arrange the things on my table.

But yesterday morning, i do not know what happened. I quietly listened to my mom and started cleaning my table soon after she told me to. And just as i began to clean my table, to my greatest of surprises, i found all those Udhi pouches in a plastic cover, right on my table !

Can you believe it .. all these months those Udhi packets were on my table and i did not even know about them. Because i did not care about them. And the moment i expressed my deep and sincere regret for the disrespect i had shown to Baba and the Udhi and asked for Baba's forgiveness, i found them immediately !

Om Sai Ram ............. we look for god every where, but he is right there in front of us. All we need is to just look around with true faith !

But that was not all ...

Again yesteday, i.e Sunday afternoon, there was a movie on Shirdi Sai Baba on one of the channels... This same movie was shown to us by a taxi driver (in his taxi he had a VCD player), when we went Shirdi recently in October 2008 ..And we also liked the Taxi Driver because he was a great devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba ... and though he had seen this movie many many times before but he put it on for us specially .. But that was in Marathi and so we could not understand all the dialogues..... And this time, watching it in Hindi I could see the entire movie non-stop and understand the essence completely ..

So in a way, Baba was reminding me about my two trips to Shirdi so far .. and both on the same day, and just as I was remembering him so deeply ... I was thrilled.

But again, that was not all .... over the last few days i was also lamenting that i would not be able to go to Shirdi and pray to Baba when i needed to ... i.e since i am going through a very tough phase, i thought maybe if i go personally to Shirdi maybe Baba will bless me directly ..

Again, yesterday itself, in the evening, a close family friend of ours returned from Shirdi and they brought some prasad from Shirdi for us ! As i went to their house, they recollected the Kaakad Arati that they had attended in Shirdi in great detail, and to me it was as if I was there personally and visualizing the whole scene ...
And I also got Baba's prasad from Shirdi directly ..

So many wonderful experiences all in one day ...
So to me it was like Baba personally came down from Shirdi yesterday to meet me, it was like he was telling me - no need to come down to Shirdi, if you remember me truly i will only come down to you !
Or you can say that since I really expressed my desire to meet Baba, I virtually went to Shirdi and met Baba yesterday through all these expriences !!

Om Sai Ram !

But then all this was happening only because i had experienced some more leelas of Baba recently ....

I only read the Sai SatCharitra recently ... but about 2-3 weeks back, even before i had stared reading the Sai SatCharitra I had an experience ... when once i had thought of putting some money in the hundi in a Sai Baba temple near my house .. but had forgotten to do so ... And the next day, as i was going to office, at one of the signals, a person came asking for alms .. he looked like a fakir, something odd struck me .. i immediately gave him the amount i had intended to put into Baba's hundi the previous day .. And then after a few seconds i thought of looking back at the fakir, but i could not see him ... I take that road everyday .. i have not seen that fakir before and i have not seen him since..
At that time, my heart meant to tell me that Baba has his own ways of taking the Dakshina that was meant for him .. But then somehow my mind was not ready to think of it that way.. and thought it was a mere coincidence ..

And in the last few days when i started reading the Sai SatCharitra, and when i read the experiences of the Devotees in the Sai SatCharitra on how Baba took the Dakhsina from them in various ways, that they had meant to give to Baba but had forgotten to do so due to various reasons ...
It is a hair raising experience, when i think back about that fakir ... he just appeared at my car window and then just seemed to go away somewhere ....

Also recently, one day, all of a sudden i felt like giving up my favourite food .. so that Baba could test my faith and devotion and answer my prayers .. and then in Sai SatCharitra I read a particular incident (involving a Goa gentleman) where exactly the same thing had been prescribed ... It was all so mesmerizing ... I could hardly hold back my tears ....

But there is this one special incidence, i can never forget - the one where i wrote a last e-mail to someone, a few days before I fell onto the feet of Baba and requested him to help me to get through these tough times ... Specifically, this one incident makes me go numb when ever i recall it - In this last email to this person who is so special to me, i wrote a line saying - "Always have faith and patience that good things will happen" ...
I have never ever used that phrase, "Faith and Patience", before. Because i have never spoken that way before, and probably i did not think of using this phrase that day also .. it just came out as I typed the email .... and then a week or two later when i began reading about Sai Baba and discovering his leelas, I was struck numb to read about "Shraddha" and "Saburi" ... i.e Faith and Patience ... i just could not believe it ...  and only i know how i have wept after that last correspondence, I knew it was all over and i was not sure how I will get through the tough, tough days ahead, because I thought I was alone and I was not sure I would be able to get through on my own ..

But I was not alone ...Sai Baba was right there ... even in that last email that I typed, as if blessing me and telling me not to worry ... and even after that day after asking me to have faith and patience in Him, everytime i have seemed to lose hope Baba has some how manifested Himself in so many ways through the various experiences that i have described above ...

Some how when i look back at the last 2-3 weeks, it has all been so surreal for me .. I used to think i am such a highly educated person, i believe in the scientific ways of things and not in miracles... but everything has been shattered ....
Om Sai Ram, how wonderfully you break the ego of the human being and show him the truth  !

I know I have committed a lot of mistakes, broken a lot of hearts because of my own selfishness and my own insecurities... though i did not mean to harm others, i did inadvertently break a lot of people's trust ...

I know I have committed many sins .. maybe even in my previous births and thats why I have taken so many wrong decisions till date and always lead a life with unease in my mind.
So yes, i have to pay for all my Sins ... And I know, that in all probability my prayers will not be answered. I will have to suffer a lot more and maybe I deserve it.
But then I also know, now, that I am not alone on this tough journey ahead...

Sai Baba knows everything, all our past, present and future .. So even though he makes sure that I pay for what i must pay, I also have complete Faith and Devotion that he is UP there looking at me, and taking care of me, and seeing to it that I get through this tough phase .. He is helping me clear the sins of the past and making sure that my future births will be free of all past sins .. He is showing me the right path to be taken ahead ....

I know Baba, you are always there with me .... Please let me not lose my Faith in You and please let me have the Patience to wait for the good days to come ...

Who says there is no God?

Thanks, bhaktha for sharing such nice exp of Babas leela. Thanks for invoking that Sai is everywhere.

Sai bless you more.

But yesterday morning, i do not know what happened. I quietly listened to my mom and started cleaning my table soon after she told me to. And just as i began to clean my table, to my greatest of surprises, i found all those Udhi pouches in a plastic cover, right on my table !

Can you believe it .. all these months those Udhi packets were on my table and i did not even know about them. Because i did not care about them. And the moment i expressed my deep and sincere regret for the disrespect i had shown to Baba and the Udhi and asked for Baba's forgiveness, i found them immediately !

Om Sai Ram ............. we look for god every where, but he is right there in front of us. All we need is to just look around with true faith !

But that was not all ...

Again yesteday, i.e Sunday afternoon, there was a movie on Shirdi Sai Baba on one of the channels... This same movie was shown to us by a taxi driver (in his taxi he had a VCD player), when we went Shirdi recently in October 2008 ..And we also liked the Taxi Driver because he was a great devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba ... and though he had seen this movie many many times before but he put it on for us specially .. But that was in Marathi and so we could not understand all the dialogues..... And this time, watching it in Hindi I could see the entire movie non-stop and understand the essence completely ..

So in a way, Baba was reminding me about my two trips to Shirdi so far .. and both on the same day, and just as I was remembering him so deeply ... I was thrilled.

But again, that was not all .... over the last few days i was also lamenting that i would not be able to go to Shirdi and pray to Baba when i needed to ... i.e since i am going through a very tough phase, i thought maybe if i go personally to Shirdi maybe Baba will bless me directly ..

Again, yesterday itself, in the evening, a close family friend of ours returned from Shirdi and they brought some prasad from Shirdi for us ! As i went to their house, they recollected the Kaakad Arati that they had attended in Shirdi in great detail, and to me it was as if I was there personally and visualizing the whole scene ...
And I also got Baba's prasad from Shirdi directly ..

So many wonderful experiences all in one day ...
So to me it was like Baba personally came down from Shirdi yesterday to meet me, it was like he was telling me - no need to come down to Shirdi, if you remember me truly i will only come down to you !
Or you can say that since I really expressed my desire to meet Baba, I virtually went to Shirdi and met Baba yesterday through all these expriences !!

Om Sai Ram !

But then all this was happening only because i had experienced some more leelas of Baba recently ....

I only read the Sai SatCharitra recently ... but about 2-3 weeks back, even before i had stared reading the Sai SatCharitra I had an experience ... when once i had thought of putting some money in the hundi in a Sai Baba temple near my house .. but had forgotten to do so ... And the next day, as i was going to office, at one of the signals, a person came asking for alms .. he looked like a fakir, something odd struck me .. i immediately gave him the amount i had intended to put into Baba's hundi the previous day .. And then after a few seconds i thought of looking back at the fakir, but i could not see him ... I take that road everyday .. i have not seen that fakir before and i have not seen him since..
At that time, my heart meant to tell me that Baba has his own ways of taking the Dakshina that was meant for him .. But then somehow my mind was not ready to think of it that way.. and thought it was a mere coincidence ..

And in the last few days when i started reading the Sai SatCharitra, and when i read the experiences of the Devotees in the Sai SatCharitra on how Baba took the Dakhsina from them in various ways, that they had meant to give to Baba but had forgotten to do so due to various reasons ...
It is a hair raising experience, when i think back about that fakir ... he just appeared at my car window and then just seemed to go away somewhere ....

Also recently, one day, all of a sudden i felt like giving up my favourite food .. so that Baba could test my faith and devotion and answer my prayers .. and then in Sai SatCharitra I read a particular incident (involving a Goa gentleman) where exactly the same thing had been prescribed ... It was all so mesmerizing ... I could hardly hold back my tears ....

But there is this one special incidence, i can never forget - the one where i wrote a last e-mail to someone, a few days before I fell onto the feet of Baba and requested him to help me to get through these tough times ... Specifically, this one incident makes me go numb when ever i recall it - In this last email to this person who is so special to me, i wrote a line saying - "Always have faith and patience that good things will happen" ...
I have never ever used that phrase, "Faith and Patience", before. Because i have never spoken that way before, and probably i did not think of using this phrase that day also .. it just came out as I typed the email .... and then a week or two later when i began reading about Sai Baba and discovering his leelas, I was struck numb to read about "Shraddha" and "Saburi" ... i.e Faith and Patience ... i just could not believe it ...  and only i know how i have wept after that last correspondence, I knew it was all over and i was not sure how I will get through the tough, tough days ahead, because I thought I was alone and I was not sure I would be able to get through on my own ..

But I was not alone ...Sai Baba was right there ... even in that last email that I typed, as if blessing me and telling me not to worry ... and even after that day after asking me to have faith and patience in Him, everytime i have seemed to lose hope Baba has some how manifested Himself in so many ways through the various experiences that i have described above ...

Some how when i look back at the last 2-3 weeks, it has all been so surreal for me .. I used to think i am such a highly educated person, i believe in the scientific ways of things and not in miracles... but everything has been shattered ....
Om Sai Ram, how wonderfully you break the ego of the human being and show him the truth  !

I know I have committed a lot of mistakes, broken a lot of hearts because of my own selfishness and my own insecurities... though i did not mean to harm others, i did inadvertently break a lot of people's trust ...

I know I have committed many sins .. maybe even in my previous births and thats why I have taken so many wrong decisions till date and always lead a life with unease in my mind.
So yes, i have to pay for all my Sins ... And I know, that in all probability my prayers will not be answered. I will have to suffer a lot more and maybe I deserve it.
But then I also know, now, that I am not alone on this tough journey ahead...

Sai Baba knows everything, all our past, present and future .. So even though he makes sure that I pay for what i must pay, I also have complete Faith and Devotion that he is UP there looking at me, and taking care of me, and seeing to it that I get through this tough phase .. He is helping me clear the sins of the past and making sure that my future births will be free of all past sins .. He is showing me the right path to be taken ahead ....

I know Baba, you are always there with me .... Please let me not lose my Faith in You and please let me have the Patience to wait for the good days to come ...

Who says there is no God?

Om Sai Namo Namaha,

Greetings to all Sai Brothers and sisters across the world.

I have a lot of experiences of Dearest Sai and will keep on sharing them.  My rather our family's very first experience of Shri Sainath's Blessings is as follows:

Somewhere around 1970 or so don't remember the exact date as I was a child then, my father had purchased a new scooter (which he has still maintained) and since he's very fond of travelling he along with his group of friends always visited holy places on their bikes like Ganeshi at Pali, etc. and one day decided to take this very first long distance trip to Shirdi.  They were at least 6-8 bikes.  By the time they reached Shirdi it was late night, they were just on their way and seemed to have lost their way, they couldn't see any road but saw a tent and an old man dressed like Bab came with a chimney (old lantern) and asked them in marathi, " Hey sons, don't you want your life? If you go a little ahead only pieces of you will be found" Where are u going? My father said, Baba we want to go to the temple. He said ok and pointed to a road which took them  directly to the temple. While they were turning their bikes and going as directed my father asked his colleague to see who that man was, he said can't see anything or anyone it's just pitch dark! No tent nothing! When they were returning and stopped by the same road, they stopped their bikes at the spot and went to see ahead, really it was a deep valley and they would have all just gone down!!!!! I thank Baba for saving all of them. Since then till date, my father always has Baba's sticker on his bikes.  We have a hughe photframe of Baba sitting on the bathstone.  I am married now with one son, I was lucky to have been gifted Baba's idol from Shirdi ( I paid him for that) which is now in my Puja Mandir and am currently on the 39th chapter of Shri Sai Satcharitra.  This is another wish fulfilled which I shall narate later. 

Glory Be to the Loving Sai my mother.
Om Sai Ram.
Title: A little experience I had today with Baba!‏
Post by: SS91 on June 14, 2009, 02:46:13 PM
Jai Sai Ram

I hope the Sai family is doing well! :)

I just wanted to share a sweet little experience I had with Baba today. Again, it is a little experience but thought of sharing it anyway!

So my house mate cooked food today and also tasted a little bit from the pan before we rushed for the temple to attend the Shej aarti. On our way, I realised that we didn’t take a little bit of that food with us to the temple to offer it to Baba. I told him to remember to offer it to Baba (in the little shrine in our house) when we come back home after the aarti. He told me that he had made a mistake by already tasting some of it and hence we shouldn’t now offer it to Baba! I told him that I have always tasted it (sometimes to check the flavour and sometimes because I was hungry) before giving it to Baba and don’t believe in all of these strict rigid rules and regulations. We had a friendly discussion (cum debate) about how we should follow the rules Vs how true bhakti is important and not such rules. We also asked a devout uncle at the temple about it and he said that we shouldn’t offer tasted food to Baba but he told me with a smile on his face that if I wanted to be like Shabri (Krishna devotee who offered a half eaten fruit to Krishna which was accepted glady) then I could be so. Still confused, but I felt I was right!

Went back home, took my dinner plate in front of Baba’s picture in front of the house shrine to offer it and told Baba jokingly that, “I don’t care about all of these crazy rules; thank you for this food!”. Then I forgot about the whole episode.

Just before retiring to bed, I try and read one random chapter of Shri Sai Satcharita every night. I have a chits system to choose chapters; this time the random chapter was number 40 (English version) where one of the stories is of Baba coming in the dreams of Hemadpant as a well dressed Sanyaasi and said that he would come to him for meals that day. The story mentions how on that day Hemadpant got his wife to cook some extra rice for Baba as he may attend as a guest at dinner time. Mainly, it mentions on page 215, “Formal offering to the Vaishwadeva (fire) , and Naivadya was to Shri Krishna were also over and the members were about to begin”......Later on the same page it is mentioned, “The picture (of Baba) was placed on the central seat, reserved for the guest and after making the due offering of the Naivaidya, the whole party commenced eating and finished it in proper time.”

I wonder why only this chatper (out of 50) was chosen by Baba when I casted the chits!? J

I wonder how many answers he gives to his devotees even in such little matters without even being in his mortal body - Honestly, I have gotten many of them just through such curious coincidences.

I think I will stick to offering food before tasting it (for now at least) whilst I try to develop the devotion and have a pure heart like Shabri!

Jai Sai Ram

hume pata chala kii mere brother ka accident ho gaya hai;;
use ek auto wala hospital lekar gaya aur hum log bhi waha pahuche,,
doctor ne emergency me treatment start toh kar diya magar khoon kafi bah chuka tha is wajah se use hosh nahi aaya,, auto wale ne bataya kii mai waha se ja raha tha toh raaste me bheed lagi dekh kar ruk gaya ,, inka kaafi khoon bah chuka tha ,,log sirf inhe dekh rahe the,,  magar mujhse raha nahi gaya aur mai inhe trauma center le aaya;;

Humne auto waale ko thanx kaha aur use ghar jaane ko kaha,,

23-05-2009 2:30 a.m
itne me doctor ne aakar kaha kii
aap log inhe ghar le jaiye bas ab yeh jyada se jyada 3-4 ghante ke liye hai,, ise hosh bhi nahi aaya hai,
,,
yeh sunkar hum log toh jaise ke rah kar bhi nahi rahe,, ek toh uski aisi halat uppar se doctor yeh kah kar  chala gaya;;
Bas yaad tha hume toh sirf SAI apna ,, naam lete gaye baba ka,, chhod diya un par sab kuch ,, hume nahi pata tha kii kya hone wala hai  magar vishwaas tha kii baba hamari madad ke liye jarur aayenge;;

Tabhi baba ne bhi hamare aansuo ki pukar suni aur  na jane kya hua doctor wapis aa gaya,, humne puchha toh usne kaha kii  pata nahi mujhe kya hua mai jate late ruk gaya aur socha kii ek baar phir dekh lu,, bas doctor andar hi aaya tha kii bhai ka hath halka sa hila yeh dekh kar doctor ki bhi umeed jag gayi aur usne  treatment start kiya,,,

magar use hosh nahi aaya tha,,
uske pahle brain ke citiscan ko dekha toh woh pura black tha,,, chot face aur brain pe lagi thi

second citiscan me brain me 3 clots aaye,,

23 - 05 -2009 8:00 a.m

 jise hatane ke liye brain me hole kiya aur waha se dawai daali ,,face aur  jaws me facture ke karan woh saans nahi le pa raha tha so gale me hole karke pipe daala aur ventilator pe rakha,,,

ab doctors ne hume 72 hrs. ka tym de diya tha ,, aur kaha agar 72 hrs me hosh nahi aaya toh yeh koma me chala jayega,,,
humne uske maathe pe vibhuti lagayi aur baba ka daaman pakde rakha,, koi kuch bhi puchhta  ya kahta toh hamare muh se bas sai naam hi niklata tha,,

har kisi ne apni apni tarah se prayer ki,, chahe woh dost ho, rishtedaar ho ya padosi ho ya jisne bhi suna usne bhi baba se dua ki

Aur nateejan 25-05-2009 12:00 p.m ko use hosh aa gaya,,
eyes me facture ke karan aankhein nahi khul rahi thi magar woh baat sunkar response de raha tha,, bol toh nahi pa raha tha magar ishara jarur kar raha tha;;;

Khair use hosh aaya toh hum sab ki jaan me jaan aayi aur hum sabne tahe dil se baba ka shukriya ada kiya,,,

use regular hum baba ki vibhuti lagate rahe,,, 2 din baad usne ek aankh kholi,, face ki swelling bhi kam hoti gayi dheere dheere fark pad raha tha,,,

doctors ne kaha kii jaisi iski halat thi uske hisab se yeh kaafi jaldi improve kar raha hai ,, yeh sab aapki duaao ka asar hai varna humne toh pahle din ummed chhod di thi,, ye sach me chamatkar hai

lagbhag 30-05-2009 tak wo kaafi improve ho gaya tha,, ab wo uth- baith toh nahi sakta tha magar khatre se bahar tha aur us waqt hamare liye yeh bhi bahut badi baat thi,,,

31-05-2009

ko doctors ne use discharge kar diya magar ab uski recent memory lost ho chuki thi,,, wo hume janta tha,, pahchanta tha magar is waqt wo kise kya kah raha hai, kise maar de khuch nahi kaha ja sakta tha,,, aisi haalat me use ghar laana bhi risky tha qk use taanke lage the aur gale me pipe tha jise wo baar baar khichnta tha,,, uske 2 saal ka beta hai jiski yaad bhi use kaafi dino ke baad aayi,,

doctors ne pipe 1 mahine baad hatana tha  mgar baba ki kripa hui kii uski woh pipe abhi 4 din pahle nikal di,, ab use dusre hospital me shift kar diya hai,,,

Sai ki kripa se kaafi sudhaar hai magar uski jidd kabhi kabhi bahut ho jaati hai,,,
wo har waqt shirdi jaane ki jidd lagaye rakhta hai,,
ab toh baba se prayer hai kii use jaldi se thik kar do taaki hum sab log aapke dwaar shirdi aakar aapka shukriya ada kar sake......................


Pls. aap log bhi kaho na baba se kii apni kripa banaye rakhe aur mere big b ko jaldi se thik kar de,,,,

Thank you BAbaji

Devotee Experience

Shelley

Briefly, I am not a born Hindu. Not even raised in a religious home. But one look at Sai Baba of Shirdi
(while surfing the Net) and I felt such love and compassion. I struggle with atheism and he has saved me
from it - such light from this man - seems to be for everyone, not just one group. Please let me know
where I can send some small donation. Thanks.

      This incident took place almost 10 years back. I was very disturbed and a friend told me that if I believed in Sai Baba then complete “Sai Geetha” in one week and all your troubles will be over. I had heard about Saicharitra but Sai geetha was new to me. I became stubborn that I must get a copy of Sai Geetha and asked the same friend to get it for me. I went to Shirdi and enquired but I did not find Sai Geeta, I asked the publishers also but they said there is no such book. But I was stubborn that I must find the book. 6/7 months passed and I still had it on my mind that I must find Sai Geeta from somewhere and read it, but no one had heard about it and I did not know what to do.

One evening around 7 one sadhu come to our house and said “Sai is my guru and I am asking for alms in his name” I gave him some money, after which the Sadhu asked if I had any book of Sai at which point I asked him why did he want a book to which he replied that wherever he goes he exchanges a Sai book with a book in his possession.
I thought a lot about it and from my temple I gave him a book on Baba’s life story.
In return he gave me a book from his jholi. Now you must be thinking which book this must have been. I felt like dancing with joy, the book was as thick as Ramayan and on it was written SAI GEETA. I kept looking at the book, in which time the sadhu went away. You can imagine what joy I experienced. Baba himself came and gave me a copy of the Sai Geeta. Today also I have the book with me, I consider it as a blessing from him.
But you can never find the book in the market, but I am very happy having obtained Baba’s blessings. Just the way baba blessed me, may he bless you all.

SaiRam,

Thanks for your time and Sai bless you always.

JaiSaiRam




      This incident took place almost 10 years back. I was very disturbed and a friend told me that if I believed in Sai Baba then complete “Sai Geetha” in one week and all your troubles will be over. I had heard about Saicharitra but Sai geetha was new to me. I became stubborn that I must get a copy of Sai Geetha and asked the same friend to get it for me. I went to Shirdi and enquired but I did not find Sai Geeta, I asked the publishers also but they said there is no such book. But I was stubborn that I must find the book. 6/7 months passed and I still had it on my mind that I must find Sai Geeta from somewhere and read it, but no one had heard about it and I did not know what to do.

One evening around 7 one sadhu come to our house and said “Sai is my guru and I am asking for alms in his name” I gave him some money, after which the Sadhu asked if I had any book of Sai at which point I asked him why did he want a book to which he replied that wherever he goes he exchanges a Sai book with a book in his possession.
I thought a lot about it and from my temple I gave him a book on Baba’s life story.
In return he gave me a book from his jholi. Now you must be thinking which book this must have been. I felt like dancing with joy, the book was as thick as Ramayan and on it was written SAI GEETA. I kept looking at the book, in which time the sadhu went away. You can imagine what joy I experienced. Baba himself came and gave me a copy of the Sai Geeta. Today also I have the book with me, I consider it as a blessing from him.
But you can never find the book in the market, but I am very happy having obtained Baba’s blessings. Just the way baba blessed me, may he bless you all.

omsairam..i would like to add a small but overwhelming experience....there was a very big disturbance in my life just a couple of days ago..
I had commited very big mistakes...and got into trouble...and then my mother suggested..."If you really realized your mistake and will never think of doing anything like that again...saibaba will surely help you..just trust him blindly...he will take care of ur life.." I just prayed to baba and meditated on shraddha and saburi with my whole heart...and on the day of the verdict...when everyone was expecting a negative verdict..only baba knows what happened...i got a positive response and I felt like baba gave me another chance to prove that iv changed...it was a miracle...which words are not enough to explain....last week on guru pournami day..I and my mother decided to go to the temple in the morning and sit there for the whole day and just meditate on saibaba...when we were sitting in the temple...the pujari came to me and asked me if I coud volunteer to help in the decoration of the chariot of saibaba...as the chariot was built with very delicate pieces of wood...the pujari wanted me to climb to the top of the chariot and put up the flag..and the garland on top...my heart was filled with love for baba when I was doing this...tears of joy started rolling down my face..my mother later said that..it is an indication that baba has accepted your apologies for whatever mistakes I had done in the past...no feeling can match the feeling I felt when I was standing on top of baba's chariot and decorating in with my own hands...where usually people struggle just to touch the chariot once...wah baba...tere mahima apaar....sri sachidananda sadguru sainath maharaj ki jai

First of all I will thank my Sai baba to be with me forever. He had been with me always. I loved a guy and we spend 2 years together but the starting of 3rd year was very much difficult for me. He left me and I became hopeless. You will not believe, Baba gave me all that I wanted but he has taken the person I love from me. I lost all my faith in Baba, and one day I cried in front of Baba and I told him that I couldn't live without him......do something so that I can have faith on again" and after that I went to the market. As I entered the market I told Baba that I wanted to see that person I loved as I have not seen him from past 2 months...you wont believe it, he was standing right in front of me. I begin to trust Baba again and now I believe that whatever he will do will be good 4 me...trust in him, he will be there with you forever

Deepanshi

Though I was very much fond of Baba, I never experienced presence of Baba before my sister's marriage. My family believes a lot in Baba and on my sister's marriage my dad posted an invitation to Shirdi and invited Baba whole-heartedly. My sis marriage was on Sunday, it was Thursday on which the marriage rituals are going to start, and on that day morning, I was going for some shopping and on the way, I saw a heart shaped locket of smiling Baba, which was so beautiful I cannot explain. I was very happy, as I am very much fond of Baba I kept that locket very securely putting in box and locking it inside. Everyday morning I used to see that locket and again I kept back in the box. After 7days every ritual like Sathyanarayana swami vratham and all completed, on 8th day when I opened my box surprisingly the locket was not there... Nobody knows that I kept that locket in that box and as it was not gold or anything to think that somebody has taken. I was almost crying and I searched everywhere but I did not find it anywhere. For a long time I was thinking how does it happened and why Baba done this to me. And one day through an experience I came to know that Baba came to my sis marriage and he want us to realize that that why he was miraculously disappear... I always feel like Baba is with me and whenever I feel bad or I am in trouble I feel like my Baba holds me and everything settles by itself. Believe in Baba ... He will save us from any problems.. He is our Guru and Divam.....Love you Baba...

Two months back we were in a very bad situation, my husband's project finished twice in this year, getting a project in the recession was very difficult. I too did not have a project, my employer wanted to revoke my Visa. I prayed Sai that believing I'm his devotee I've faith in him, he'll definitely give us a solution. If Sai has to order I was willing to leave India for good. I waited with patience and faith for the time to come. After nearly 11/2 month one Thursday evening I was speaking to my friend on phone, suddenly she advised me to read Sai Satcharita immediately. I don't know from where I got the will power, I bathed and started to read that night itself (of course I had my little kid with me for whom I've to attend always). But apart from all these I finished my reading by next Wednesday in 7days. That same Wednesday evening my husband had an interview which he excelled and believe me or not, he was asked to report for his new project that very Monday. My prostrations to dear Sai, I know he is always there for everyone of us. Another miracle happened the same day, my employer who wanted to revoke my visa called asking me to send my resume for marketing. Aren't all these miracles? If you pray to Sai with real earnest, that's all he is always there to fulfill your wishes. Sai is great. Thank you very much Sai. My faith in him has increased and I'll always remain his staunch devotee

My Exprience with Baba!
Everyone knows the impact of recession , everyone is impacted some way or the other.Suddanly the Visa extensions started getting rejected.Everyone was so vulnerable to these situations.
We had our extension during the same period.Before 3 months of filing our extension in US , I started Sri Sai Satya navguruvar vrat with my husband.This was so effective , even in difficult situation it kept us peaceful.On extn was due for aug.My Vrat was completed in first week of Aug successfully without a break.We did charity to old age homes and anna danam in India .Suddanly the trend of visas started changing and everyone started getting approval.The company started doing premium processing and result will be known in like a week.We filed for extension on monday.Next monday we got news tht Visa is approved.It was such a big miracle in my life.
After this I was reading Sai Nitya parayanam written by Hemadbanth.
In one chapter he was explaining about some dakshina of 9 paise.
It was somehow getting repeated everywhere.I though may be baba is urging for dakshina of 9 Rs or 9 $s something.
On the same day I was organising my purse.Usu I never do that in office.I did that on that day.
In my Vallet , there was a small white paper note with 9 underlined.I dont know how it came .Its the very small piece of paper with only 9 written on that.I wanted to donate 9 $s to Saibaba's org on thursday.I wanted to do it somehow when my husband is also there.
Somehow it got posponed to next thursday.During the same week we went to  LA for balaji darshan.
We went to friend's place after that.During journey I was asking baba show me some nidarshan baba.
When I went to their home , sai leela some serial was coming in starplus.I was so involved and explaining other folks.This is so and so incident.I read in parayanam book.My husband's frnd said that there is sai baba temple in vicinity of 35 miles.I was so shocked.I said we will go to darshan in morning.
We went there and its the same temple maintained by saibaba.org.
I donated 9 $s and another 21 $s in the temple with all due devotion.
I got big sai baba's statue.
I just cant explain how happy I am.
But he was so near to me during my troubles.
I was about to meet a sure shot accident.
I was driving and someone came in my way when I was on free way.There was a shoulder beside me and in 65 mph I went to that shoulder.If thts not that shoulder , if its a lane there I would have definately met with an accident.Same day my mom was doing annadanam in India.One guy asked for one more packet.He said "I want one more packet.I need to give that to my mother."And my mother gave it to him.
I though somehow these 2 incidents were interrelated.

Om Sai Ram.
Hope Sai ram bless u All.

Om sai ram.
Om Sai Ram.
Om Sai Ram.

Shradha and Saburi are the only ways to get close to him.

I would like to share my a few experiences with Sai.

1st Feb 2003 I had my abortion of my first progeny. It should have been one harrowing experience but for Sai. On 30th  Jan 2003 night I had a nightmare for a dream where in I saw as though the child in my womb was a son who is evil personified and causing someone's death . In fact I refrain from giving my entire dream since it always sends down a chill down the spine.  But I know this that I got up immediately after dream drank water and prayed to Sai . I asked if what i saw was true , if child was evil I donot want it. But if otherwise please protect the child. As said earlier i had abortion on 1st Feb.
Whether someone believes or not I believe Sai prepared me for abortion by showing me consequences. I was not crying or sad for I believe Sai saved my family. He know what is best for me so he will give me the best.

He has  blessed me with a daughter in 2004.

There are many other instances where his response is  instantaneous.

Another incident I would like to share is : In 2008  we were supposed to pay a downpayment for the house that we had taken. And Money was tight owing to other expenditures. For abt a week I was in tension I could not find peace as to how the money would be arranged.  then I prayed to baba and our guru to help us . by the end of next week the money was arranged without any loans .

I had sort of the same experience. During Tsunami time I was during seva work. I was tiered. I sat in the Mandir. and all of a sudden I got a very pleasant smell. and then it went. Wow! Baba was inspecting my seva work!  :D

Your story is truly touching.

jvlavanya, you had taken a right decision by praying to SHREE SAI BABA to take necessary action for the baby you saw in the dream. When my wife was pregnant for second time, on second month we started experiencing tension, I too prayed to SHREE SAI BABA if this child is not good for family, please save us and next day there was abortion. We know SHREE SAI BABA will give us at right time second child. Just before confirmation of my wife's first pregnancy I had a dream and SHREE SAI BABA said to me the child I am giving to you will be smart and make every one happy. During the pregnancy, on fifth month sonograpy doctor was surprised and happy to see the movement of child and marked remark "Very active fetus". he was born on 09-Dec-2006 since then, he justs surprises us by his actions and response. 

SHREE SAI BABA does everything good for his devotees, we may not understand it immediately, but the result is always good for us.

Dear all..I need info regarding how to read the satcharita.
What I do is start the reading on a Thursday..and read 6 chapters every day and 7 chapters on  thursday (the count comes to 49 as some chapters are merged)
 But when I read the posts of some devotees in this thread..I think that everybody is ending the 51st chapter on wednesday itself. Please guide me with the right process.

Dear SwapnaPavan,
Strictly speaking yes you should start on Thursday and finish next Wednesday as stated elsewhere, but in my opinion there is no one single correct way of doing. All what matters while reading is complete undivided devotion while reading each and every chapter and firm faith and belief that Baba is there to take care of us, leaving all the problems to him. Infact, I used to be in the same confusion before, I started reading on a thursday but not essentially I was able to finish by next Wednesday, It took me sometimes another extra day i..e. Thursday. On that day I used to make  prasadam and pray Baba asking for full support and strength with Aarathi pooja.
May your wishes be fulfilled.
Om Sai Ram, Peace be to all.

Om Sairam,
I wanted to share my experience two weeks back when I saw Sai in my dream.
It is monday morning and the situation is that I have resigned my job in my dream. Then I realize my mistake and I am wondering how I can talk to my superiors and ask them that I want to withdraw my resignation letter and get my job back.
Then I saw saibaba doing some work. I thought I should ask saibaba what I should do about withdrawing this  resignation.  Saibaba starts to leave and I run after him and ask him what I should do. He says isn't this job very far  from your home.  I replied, no, the distance is fine. I want this job.
Then I woke up.
Next day, there are layoffs and our group is saved from layoffs while all other groups are affected.
I was shocked that I get this dream just a day before.

Jai Sairam.

Hi,
One more small experience of the love of Saibaba.

I work for a software company.From the last two moths I was assigned to some important work..I implemented my feature and gave more than what the client has expected.Every one said that I had done a good work and even some mail chain went appreciationg me.I was not excited by these mails.Whether they appreciate or not,Sai will be with me,So why to bother.Things are going in a nice way.Actually I installed the latest version of Internet explorer in my browser long back and so did the development of the feature completely on IE8.I was about to release the feature next week.Due to some other reasons that day morning I uninstalled IE8 and got the IE6 back which will come along with the OS.I was testing that evening and suddenly found that not only my feature is not working but its some how hanging the complete application.I got shocked on seing that.Searched on the net for that particular issue and found IE6 has that bug and so it cant be fixed.Actually it's not that my work has been wasted,but the date is committed to our customer and in no way we can delay it.Also,as already said some series of mail chanins went appreciating my work.Now,If they know that this happenned,things would become serious.I am not much worried.I don't know why?I asked to myself,Are you not getting tensed?Many people get tensed and feel lot of pressure in these type of issues.Are you not taking this serious.Then an answer came from my innerself.Saibaba image sttod in my mind.Literally speaking,even in that condition I don't know why,I am not worried.I know Saiis with me.That's the only thing.I felt that sai is with me and let my wor happen in any way.Even the issue is solved or not I doesn't bother.These issue can't separate me from sai.So who bothers??
As usual that night thinking of sai i fell asleep.I went to deep sleep.To my surprise me and my collegue came to my dream.In the dream we were discussing on that issue.Suddenly I came with one solution and my collegue said that we may try and see in that way and I suddenly woke up and thought of the dream.Immediately switched on my laptop and started analysing my solution that I got in my dream.I made some notes and went to office.
I explained the solution to my collegue and he didnt accept it.he said it might not work.But I have the confidence.I tried the same way.To other's surprise,it worked.I smiled to my self thinking f Sai....

Om Sai Sri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai.

SRI SAI BABA'S GRACE

Dear Readers, We are all aware that Pujya Narasimha Swamiji brought Sai to the door steps of devotees who do not know Marathi through His books in English, articles in newspapers and meetings. May we have always His blessings. Sri Nagesh V Gunaji, author of Sri Sai Satcharitra in english really did yeoman service to english knowing people through that book. Otherwise we would not have known about Sai Baba. Let Us offer our Pranams to him. He himself had written his own experience of Sai Baba to the editor of Sai Sudha(July 1951) as narrated below:

"Some of my friends after reading Sri Sai Satcharitra (english) ask me what are my experiences of Sai Baba. I reply them that they are many, but what is the use of recounting them all? Take only one instance --- This Sai Satcharitra (english). I'm not a scholar of the english language and I never intended to write this book, but inspite of this, Sai Baba got it done by me--- how I have related in my prefix to that book. I do not want to repeat the same here.

Coming to a recent experience on Thursday,12-4-1951 at 8pm.I was returning home in Thalakwadi by the congress road with a friend. He crossed the Railway crossing gate in front of Venktesh Vilas Tea club and went towards his home in Thalakwadi east and I started straight to buy some Pedhas in a front sweetmeat shop for offering them as Naivedya to Sai Baba after Arathi as it was a Thursday. After going a few steps I noticed a motor car coming in front of me. To avoid its track I turned to one side (right) but to my great surprise, the motor driver turned his car in the same direction and brought it straight on me and threw me down. I was unconscious for a few seconds and then rose up. The passers by assembled near me and said that --- they thought I was gone and they were wonderstruck to see me rising and standing. I asked the motor driver why he turned his motor car towards me. He replied that he wanted to save some other passengers that were standing in front of his car before and so he gave the turn. Then I went to the sweetmeat shop, brought the pedas, went home and offered the same after waving the Arathi and then went to bed and I had Good sleep that night. Next morning I got my self examined by a doctor who said after examining me thoroughly that there was nothing wrong and everything was alright.

It was Sai Baba's grace that saved me from this accident and kept me hearty and hale with no injury of any sort.

Bow to Sri Sai

Peace be to all!!!

N.V.Gunaji"

Dear Readers, Baba always say if we serve Him, He will serve us. He further declared He always thinks of His devotees wherever they may be and run to their rescue in times of need.

EXPERIENCE OF KERAVAR RAMACHANDRA PHADATALE
Sri Keravar Ramachandra Phadatale visited Shirdi first in the year 1896 at the age of 10.The experience narrated below occurred after 54 years    ie., 1950 as narrated in Sai Sudha,June'1951.

"He had Rs 9 and odd in this pocket. That was clean scissored of by someone in the crowd. This he noticed after Midday Arthi. Some friends then offered to pay him his rail fare to Poona. But this devotee declined it saying "If Baba gives me money, I will go to Poona. Else I shall reside permanently at Shirdi". One morning he went out to ease himself and sat on ground near the stream in the village boundary. He was then unintentionally racking up the sands of the bed of the stream in front of him. Lo! and Behold!! he picked up from under the dry sand, a ten rupee note and one rupee note. He rejoiced to see that all the anger he vented on Baba for loss of his money resulted in the recoupement of the lost money. He informed his friends of it and he got back to Poona".

Dear Readers, Baba has special way of solving devotees' problems. In the above case the devotee took a firm decision of not leaving Shirdi till he got money. This decision must have moved Omniscient Sai to arrange money. By adding 'Shraddha' and 'Saburi' to nine types of devotion, Baba gave eleven assurances (He lost Rs 9 and got Rs 11).

OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI !!!

NAMA JAPA OF DATTATREYA

          Lord Sainath ordered Sri S Subba Rao pleader, Gooty, Andhra Pradesh through a dream vision to do Dattatreya Nama Japa. Sri Rao  narrated this in Sai Sudha of April' 1944 issue as follows :

          "On or about the end of the 1st week of Feb'1944, I heard a voice in my sleeping moments saying "Make incessant nama japam of Dattatreya."I got up from the bed and thought that Baba has armed me with a weapon to ward off the calamity that is about to befall. I seriously 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 appeared as a judge in my dream and was very angry with me for my act of omission to do Namajapam. I got up and could not then understand because of Baba's indignation. I again slept and dreamt having seen gingelly seeds and having eaten them in large quantities. This is really a very bad dream and indicates 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 an Engineering College, Guindy, that he was laid up in the in patient sick ward of Guindy hospital, suffering from a severe attack of asthma and in a precarious condition. This letter on the subsequent day ,reminded me of Baba's precaution on the previous night directing me to do Nama japam. I went before Baba's picture in my house, repented for my folly and made a serious namajapam of Datta. Three days after that I received a letter from my sick son at Guiindy that he was getting better by Baba's grace and that he would go over to Gooty inspite 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 inspite off his dreadful weakness entirely relying on Baba's Udhi and doing Datta Namajapam even in train. We reached Gooty and he began to recover without any further medication. Even now I am doing Nama japam for his complete recovery."

          Dear readers, The above narration reveals Baba's motherly care of His children. Baba's suggested to all to do Namajapa for warding off evils. Why Baba  did not suggest Sai Nama instead of Datta Nama? Was there any connection between Datta and devotee? Did Baba feel the antidote for the problem which the devotee was facing Datta Nama? To speak frankly, a Sai only can understand Sai's language. Perhaps Baba wanted devotee world to know that He is Datta and there's no difference between Datta and Himself. Did not Baba give Darshan to a devotee in Dwarakamai as a three headed Datta? Did He not redeem devotee's from vows to Datta? Above all. in the evening aarthi we pray  "Na datta guru Sai mama javari kadhihi ruso" Alla Malik!!

          OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI!!!

NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SAI AND HIS PHOTO

One day Baba Saheb Tarkhad and his son Jyotindra had a dream in which they saw a beautiful carved mandir with Baba seated on it. Accordingly they got a beautiful Sandal wood mandir carved by special carpenter. They needed Baba's portrait.

Let us see the wonderful way how Baba arranged His photo. One friday evening, both the father and son went to chor bazar in Bombay. A muslim shopkeeper ran to them and asked to collect parcel meant for them. As the shopkeeper was new to them, they asked him how did he know a parcel was meant for them. The shopkeeper narrated that one saintly, elderly person came to his shop and handed over the parcel and also paid Rs 50/- towards service charges. The elderly person wanted it to be given to a hindu father with an english hat and son wearing a black gandhi cap. Exactly Tarkhad and son wore hat and cap.

When they asked him to open the parcel it contained a framed photo of Lord Sainath suitable to be kept in the sandolwood mandir.

          Later Tarkhad family went to Shirdi and had Baba's darshan in  Dwarakamai. At the sametime Baba told a devotee who was trying to take Baba's photo "Please go to my Bhau's place where you will find me alive in the photograph in the mandir"  Tarkdad's were very happy to hear this news and shed tears of joy.

          Dear readers, Let us  recapitulate Baba's declaration that there is no difference between Him and His photo. Did not Baba attend in the form of His photo Hemandpant's shimaga dinner? When Shama sought Baba's permission to go to Kaashi and Prayaga did not Baba say "WE would be ahead of Shama", actually Baba's photo was hung in Pujari's house in prayag?

BOW TO SAI !! PEACE BE TO ALL!!

OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI!!!

Baba my life soul!



Thanks a lot for beginning this chain as through this we all are connected as a family and remember Baba together!
 
I am going to share two experiences to begin with!
 
Around 14 yrs back I was very distressed in life and was passing by Lodhi road Shirdi Sai Baba temple. Coincidently, it was a Thursday! On an impulse I got down and joined the long que of devotees. I usually avoid crowded temples but on this day I dont know how I was floating around with people very patiently. I had a basket with Chunni, flowers and Parshad in my hand. Now due to the crowd the Pandits do the offerings in a rush and throw the offerings around and back to the devotees quickly. I didnt appreciate it and got angry with one of them. A gentleman consoled and calmed me down and I bwoed to Babaji and left the Mandir. On reaching down the stairs, I realised that Panditji had not taken the Chunni for offering. I was very sad at this! Suddenly, i felt someone touch my elbow, it was a little girl tapping my elbow! Very sweetly she asked me, whether she could take the Chunni from the basket!! There and then I knew that Baba hears the deepest of
people's hearts and will definitely support me forever!! HE IS A PILLAR FOR ME,  HE IS MY GURU, MY FATHER AND THE ONLY SUPPORT I CAN DEPEND UPON AT ANYTIME OF THE DAY AT EVERY STEP OF MY LIFE!!!
 
The 2nd amazing vision: Before I visited Shirdi for the first time
 
I had been dreaming of open field, windy and getting down on that field with my relatives. Then we would go down under a tree. The stairs and the walls are like a cellar and made of red bricks. On getting down I see Baba lying down. This vision was faint as I think it was a statue and people were paying their respect.

As I had not been to Shirdi as yet, I discussed this vision with many to find out which place was this but all said, there is no place as such in Shirdi. I failed to believe! I had faith that if Baba is giving me this vision, then this place had to be there somewhere but no one could decode this dream / vision. Finally, I gathered from Sai Satcharita and TV serials that Baba's Guru Sthaan resembeled my vision the most! I gathered it there and then!!
 
Do you too agree with me? I have been at peace since then that finally I had found my restless question's answer!! Baba helped me find it!!
 
Thank you Baba, for helping me and my child during her sickness and my distress! We both are completely devoted to you. You are the Captain of the Ship of our life. Please protect us at every moment of every day of our life!
I thank you for introducing us to Buddhism as the meetings and guidance helps me to get the life's answers and get your blessings with them too!
 
My best regards
Sonia

OM SAI RAM

This is the first time I am posting my experience in this forum… I am very happy to join the huge online Sai family and I thank Our Sai from the bottom of my heart …….

My heart filled with happiness and gratitude after reading all the experiences of other Sai brothers and sisters. Thanks you so much Sai for blessing all of us and please love us always…….Baba I love u forever……….

I want to share one of my recent experience. Even though it may look small, really it made a lot of difference to my life…I recently got married 6 months back. Also me and my husband are working in different places. I asked Sai to get a Job for me in husband place so that I can join my husband. But with Sai blessings, even though I didn’t get any new job, I have resigned job and going to join my husband in January. In the meanwhile, I was in a situation of getting unwanted pregnancy. Even though it should be treated as happy occasion, in my case it was different as we both were not ready for it yet. We have lot of financial problem which needs to be sorted out. As I resigned my job, my husband’s salary was barely sufficient for both of us to live in Hyderabad. Also we have not completely understood each other… My husband is just now getting used to his marriage responsibilities and a child right now would have been too much for him to cope up emotionally and financially. Hence I thought it might make my marriage life little more worst. I prayed Baba to save me from this problem and for about one month I have gone under mental turmoil. At last my kind Baba has listen to me and blessed me once more. I promised him that I will post this experience and I request my Sai brothers and sisters to not misunderstand me.

Please Baba shower your blessings on us always………

Resting at your lotus feet…….

Kindness of Sri Saibaba

The all-knowing nature of Sri Saibaba is humanly impossible to decipher. This much must be said that Sri
Sai is aware of the innermost secrets of those who he wanted to benefit and expressed them as needed to
show the practical remonstration unique to His way. Sri Tarkhad in his Foreword to the book on Sri
Saibaba by MW Pradhan narrates one such incident:

A friend staying in Bandra, was one day leaving his place in the morning to go to his office. Near the door
of his block, his wife remembered that she had certain expenses to make, and asked him for a rupee. He
knew the necessity of this request and opening his purse discovered that he had no loose coin in it, but
currency notes. He told his wife that he would get these cashed in his office and in the evening on his
return home, he would pay her the rupee, to which she gave her assent.

On descending the staircase and coming upon the first landing, when fumbling for his handkerchief, he
found a rupee in that pocket. As there was ample time for him to catch his train, his duty was to go up to
his flat and hand over that rupee to his wife. Instead of doing that, nonchalant as most husbands are
everywhere, he went to his office and after getting the notes cashed, gave a rupee to his wife on his return
home in the evening, and forgot all about it thereafter.

Some days passed since, when both of them happened to go to Shirdi. No sooner they made their
obeisance than Baba said to his wife, "Mother, now-a-days one had become so untruthful, that though
there was a rupee in his pocket he would say there was none!"

Now the lady not knowing anything about the matter remained unperturbed, whereas the man
remembering the whole incident, threw himself at Baba's feet, and embracing them, shed tears of
repentance and joy. Repentance for his callousness in not having gone up and paid that rupee to his loving
and trusting wife, joy for the feeling of assurance of Shri Sai Baba's watch on the guidance and progress
of their worldly affairs.

My current contract assignment where I was getting a decent rate and very close to my home was coming to an end and I started looking out. Although I was getting calls, none of them were materializing due to some reason or the other (rate not being good, location far off, short project duration etc). I was really getting frustrated and was loosing sleep at nights as I had to support my family. I prayed to Baba on why this delay and also to show some positive signs that would give me some good sleep. As in the past, Baba always bailed me out in some way or the other but being a human, my mind was always anxious and restless. Whenever I use to pray to Baba's photo, I always use to hear a voice in me "Still you doubt me?" and I use to be ashamed of myself. Reading the weekly Sai Vichar e-mails use to be the only solace and moral boosting experience. My wife use to tell me that there is something which we are not aware of that is preventing me from getting a new contract. And lo !, on Wednesday, my current client called up and mentioned that they are planning to extend my contract for a long term and are letting me know in advance as I might be looking out. I was so thrilled and thanked Baba for his almightily grace and blessings. Baba has always helped me and my family when most needed. Sometimes I do feel guilty that I keep asking so many things from Baba and he always fulfills it and is so thankful to Baba for his continued grace and blessing.



Kavitha

I would like to share my experience with everybody. I am a devotee of Sai Baba. This is a nothing but a miracle what Saibaba has done to us. I got married in 2005 and my husband was working in Dubai. After marriage he does not want to go back and I thought he will work here. He worked with his friend's construction company and due to some misunderstanding he left the job. After which he was idly sitting at home without any work but doing part-time BE. I was working in a MNC. I have got a 1-year old kid Vishal and due to health reasons, I quitted my job this month 25th and I was worried and then I thought of Sai Baba only can save us from this situation. We both are jobless. I prayed to Sai Baba that I myself and my husband get a job within the next Thursday I would post this. It's really unbelievable that I got a part time job in the very same MNC which I left. And my husband went for an interview yesterday and got selected. This is nothing but only Sai's leelas. Sai Baba Koti Koti pranaam to your lotus feet. Please guide in every step of the life. Thank you. Sai Ram.

Sarasa
I entered late into marriage after a long 17 years wait of knowing the person. I asked Sai to show me signs that I should proceed with this after the long interval. Finally I got married and with Sai's blessing conceived immediately. I sailed through my pregnancy with my gynecologist of Sai's blessing. However on my 8th month my placenta gave away and my daughter pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. Miracle of miracles, when my doctor rushed to the spot he said there's a 20 percent chances of survival with a faint heartbeat. He practically did everything from getting me ready for the Caesarian, pushing me through hallway/lifts and calling the OT to be ready for an emergency operation. Finally my daughter arrived as a tiny healthy baby. But there's some complicating where my husband was asked to sign to indicate approval of womb removal due to a lot of blood loss. Again with Sai's blessing that did not happen and my doctor managed to pull through. Today my daughter is a healthy 3 years old. Last year I delivered my second daughter with my doctor sailing through the pregnancy with me for a safe delivery. About 2 months back my doctor collapsed due to stroke. He is a well know and reputable and experienced person who has saved many lives. I prayed to Baba to take care of him and let him recover to his normal self. Now he is over the critical situation and on the path of recovery. Today he is still on medical leave recovering and with Baba's blessing soon will be back to his clinic, I have faith in Baba. I pledged to write to share my experience with other devotees and here it is. My Sai's blessing is always with us. Om Sai Ram.

Sai devotee


My husband was out of IT field since we got married and I was so worried about him. I prayed Sai to give us a good life by giving a nice job for my husband. He started applying to his jobs yet he couldn't get any. I cried myself so many times and my little one also suffered because of me. I trusted Sai and my belief towards Sai is increasing day by day though my husband was failing in the job interviews. I did Sai Satcharitra parayana three times yet my days were too horrible. I believed one saying from my parents, "If you wanted something and if that happened to you that's good for you but if that doesn't happened then it is more good for you. I always remembered these words and was praying for His divine blessings. I started parayana again with more Sradha and Saburi. On that week my husband attended one interview with an Indian company. We didn't have any hopes on that to get the job. Also he lost his confidence and it was time to start using our savings money. I was on maternity leave for an year and my husband was on EI. So we both were getting money from govt only. But on my last day of my parayana they selected my husband and there was no limit to my happiness. On Thursday his office HRM sent him an offer letter. I couldn't thank enough to Sai to let my dreams come true. That job was a contract position yet they liked my husband and offered a full time position with a nice pay. I prayed Sai when I was doing parayana that I am gonna leave one of my favourite food until me and my family visit Shirdi to get Sai's darshan and I left my favourite food to him. I would like to suggest to all Sai devotees never loose your hope and believe Sai. He will definitely take care of his children. We just need to work hard and have faith in him in our tough times and on good times also. Rest is Sai's divine blessings. Sai Deva please continue to shower Your blessings in our good and bad times and if we did any mistakes please forgive us.

Many Say Babas Leelas are not human.One cannot understand whats their behind.

A small but Big story in that respect :-)

Balakrishna Govind Upasani Sastri, S/Oh Govind Gopal Upasani Sastri, Brahmin, aged about 69, retired Professor of Sanskrit, Saniwarpeth, Poona says:
When plague was raging at Poona, my college was closed for many long months, and then I went on pilgrimage with my mother and wife. When I went from Haridwar and Rishikesh to Tapovan, there I met a sãdhu who glared at me at least he was persistently looking at me. I bowed to him and he still looked at me, and asked me ‘Are you not from Satana?’ ‘Yes’, I answered, for Satana is my ancestral village. Then, I, in my turn inquired of him who he was. ‘Come here again tomorrow at this time (afternoon) and I will tell you, he said. I then went to my quarters and informed my mother.
She thought that this might be our (family) Mutt Founder, Sri Uddhava of Mulhare (Mayurapura). Next day, she wanted to come to the saint and she accompanied me to the appointed place at the
time fixed. After 15 minutes of wandering up and down, she thought it was a wild goose chase to find a wandering saint and went away. Almost immediately after she left, that saint appeared before me and
said, with a grave countenance, ‘Do not act in this manner again’. I: In what manner?
He: Only those directed to come should come. There is always difference between one individual and another alike in physical and other peculiarities. No two are exactly the same. So only the
bidden person should come. I agreed to abide by that rule. Then as I wanted to know his identity, he informed me that I had a saligram among the Gods that I worshipped at home and he gave me an exact description of it. I said that I had that saligram. Then, he added, that he was the person who gave it to Uddhava Maharaj from whose grandson, my grandfather had got it. It has been a heirloom with us and I am still worshipping it. Still as his identity was not clear, he thus replied to me talking this time in Hindustani. Till then, he was talking in Marathi. He waved his hand so as to attract my attention and said ‘Lo, there was a tree. Two persons went up that tree. One came down; the other went up’. He wound up with the remark ‘You will come to know’ and then he disappeared. He looked like a man of 50 or 60 years, rather bulky and stout and he wore only a coupina and no other article of dress. Many years later, say about 1910-11, (31-12-1911) I was trying to utilise my Christmas Holidays for a trip from Dhulia southward to see if any trace could be found of my younger brother Kasinath (i.e.Upasani Baba). He had contracted some strange disease in the course of his efforts at pranayama. He could not lie down lest breathing should stop. He had no sleep, nor good digestion. So he left home and we had no trace of his whereabouts. As I was in the train from Manmad going south, it stopped at Kopergaon for a few minutes and the local mamlatdar Mr.Bhat, a friend of mine who was on the platform made me alight and spend a pleasant day with him. He told me that Sai Baba was a saint living 6 miles off (i.e) at Shirdi and worth a visit. He sent me in his tonga to that village. I went to the mosque and found Sai Baba at the dhuni in the mosque. He was standing close to the fire and occasionally turning round himself. He saw me and invited me inside. I went and prostrated myself before him. Gazing at me, he  old me to go to Khandoba’s temple. I thought he recommended that visit to see the image of that God and I said that all Gods were there with him, and was quite content to see him. He repeated the words “Go to Khandoba’s.” I inferred that he wanted me to get away and not to stay there. So I
went to an adjoining house and there they told me (after I mentioned Baba’s order) that there was one Upasani Sastri at Khandoba’s. I then went to Khandoba’s and found my brother there. He said that
he was remaining there by Sai Baba’s order and that he saw very little of Sai Baba. I then gave him or rather one Dada Kelkar on his account some Rs.4 for his food expenses and went back to the Masjid.
I stayed at Shirdi for one or two days at that time. On the first day, he asked all generally for dakshina kukshana some gave. He extended his palms towards me and asked for dakshina kukshan. I said I had nothing and made pranams. On the occassion, Sai Baba said to me the same words as the sãdhu at Tapovan. ‘Lo! There was a tree. Two persons went up that tree. One came down; the other went up’ in Hindustani. I was at once reminded of the Tapovan saint whose person closely resembled Sai Baba’s, though the dress was different. Sai Baba mentioned some autobiographical reminiscences of his own. He said he had been at the battle in which the Rani of Jhansi took part. He was then in the army.
On the second day he asked me again for dakshina. I excused my self on the ground that I had barely the railway fare for my journey with me. Then he pointed to a silver watch I had in my pocket and asked for it as dakshina. I gave it but not without a momentary regret and hesitation. He received it and handed it over to some fakir by his side. Then looking at me and evidently to meet my momentary regret at losing the watch, Baba said to me ‘You are not going to be worse off (on his account)’ I said, ‘Of course, it was nothing I had given. Then I started back, and via Kopergaon I came to Poona. There I went to a friend’s (Mr.Natu’s) house. I was talking of my Shirdi watch incident and inquired what
it would cost to get a similar watch. Just then my friend’s brother sent down his gold watch worth about Rs.60 and wanted me to accept it as a present and I accepted it. So I wasn’t worse off for parting with my watch to Sai Baba I visited Shirdi on one or two occasions. I composed then a Sanskrit poem on Sai Baba.

Om Sai Sri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai.

Sai devotee

I would like to narrate an experience in our lives that shows that Baba is God incarnate. 2 years back, when our family life was in trouble, my wife suspected she would have got pregnant. We went to a doctor for confirmation 2 weeks after that. The doctor scheduled for a scan and asked us to get the reports. We got the scan done and were waiting for the doctor' advise. After some 15 mins of discussion, the doctor came out and said the scan has been done and the result is of concern. The doctor explained that the Fetus is 6 weeks old and has stopped growing inside the womb since 2 weeks and it is a case of abortion. We were shell shocked. It was the first pregnancy and my wife was heart broken. Tears welled up in her eyes. I asked the doctor to double check. The doctor was a very experienced old woman and head of the Gynecology dept at the Hospital/University. To comfort us she did the scan again and showed us that there is no pulse and according to the dates, by now the Fetus should have a pulse and growing. She asked us to go for an abortion and advised us that it's okay for us to wait for a week and then come back for the abortion.

We left with heavy hearts. All the way back home my wife was inconsolable. I could not do anything. I just prayed to god and accepted the situation.

Suddenly I felt I should take a second opinion. After a week we went to another lady doctor, who was also equally experienced and was head of gynecology dept in another hospital. We explained her the situation and she scheduled a scan 2 days later. We anxiously waited for the day and after the scan were impatient for the result. The doctor took me aside and said the same thing as the first doctor. However she gave us a lot of mental support and advised us to wait for another week before coming in for abortion. We could do nothing but accept her suggestion. We went back home. That night I was very agitated. We both prayed to Sai, asked him to do whatever he feels best for us and then went to bed. Before sleeping my wife applied Udhi to her stomach. She did this daily for 1 week. After one week as advised we went to the doctor for an abortion. Before that, the doctor said she would do a routine scan.

Now see the miracle. The scan showed the pulse and the fetus was growing. The doctor was shocked. She double checked the earlier scan reports, recalculated the dates. She talked to herself for 10 mins.we could hear her murmuring impossible..impossible 2 to 3 times. Finally she said "God wanted this baby to be born". She then gave us the happy news. We were thrilled. My wife was happy and we could not thank Baba enough. The Baby was born with no trouble and now he is a 2 year old active energetic boy.

Baba's grace is unfathomable.

1. RAHUL'S FEVER  


The first instance that I want to record is about my son Rahul, when he was six years old. He got very high fever and had continuous vomiting. For fifteen days, the medicines had no effect and his condition was serious. The doctors also could not understand whether it was malaria, typhoid or some viral fever.

Finally, one day the fever started rising even more and whatever he took started coming out, even plain water. The fever was above [105 (o F)] even after administering tablets and sponging. Two doctors sat beside him the whole night but there was no response. The whole night we were awake and extremely anxious. We are fast loosing hopes.

Then suddenly I remembered Udi (holy ash) and thought of giving Udi water. Till that time I prayed to Baba and applied Udi on the forehead only but to give it as a medicine and not strike me. I also prayed that if Baba's Udi works as medicine then I will publish this miracle.

I mixed Udi in water and started giving him one teaspoon of water every half an hour. From that time the fever started subsiding, half a degree per hour. And in four to five hours the fever came down completely. The Udi water did, what even the latest medicines could not do.

Later, after things became normal (after many days) I had a feeling that if I write this miracle, will people believe in the power of Udi? In this age of science and medicine will people believe in the supernatural or of some power which is behind us.

One day I casually turned the pages of a Sai  magazine. In that a person had written a similar story of his son's fever which was cured by Udi. After reading it I felt very happy and thought that Baba made me read this miracle to remove my doubt.

Even in this age of science, there is still something called "Life" and "Death" which nobody is able to describe, define or prevent. However much we are able to probe still there is such a vast expanse of universe, about which nothing is known. All this is staying in harmony because of some powerful superhuman force, which we cannot see, but can only feel or experience, at some stage or other in our life. And this force tries to help us when we ardently invoke it.

2. ARTI  


All my experiences with Baba started with this Arti incidence. Once, as soon as I went for a bath, my mother completed her prayers and gave the Arti to God. I felt very sad because I could not receive the Arti.

Then suddenly the flame of the Arti appeared in the bathroom. Baba was holding the Arti in his hand. Like a shadowy figure clad in white clothes Baba stood over there but the flame of the Arti came towards me. I moved this side and that side but the flame followed me. Finally I got scared and bowed to it and took the Arti. Then the Arti vanished.

In those days we did lot of namajapam and also Bhajan day in and day out. After the above incidence, during prayers whenever I closed my eyes, certain Goddesses used to come in glittering silver. Each day I would describe the Goddess that I saw to my mother and she used to tell us the mythology connected with it. At that time, we realized, how many Goddesses were there in our mythology.

These incidents happened before my marriage, i.e. before 1980.

Experiences of Devotees  


B.Subrahmanyam, Guntur, India


I wish to share with all Sai devotees my experiences of recent visit to Shirdi. I feel that if anyone has total faith and submission to Baba he will look into us. Every time I went for darshan in spite of the crowds, somehow Baba takes me close to him. I cannot explain this but let me assure you I have had darshan of Baba to my heart content. Even Baba asked me (through a security guard) whether I had darshan to my satisfaction. Can you imagine a security guard enquiring devotees? However, I felt that Baba only asked me in the form of a security guard. At one time Baba made me stand in front of him for full 5 minutes in spite of the crowd. Everything that happens is Baba's leela only. I never worried about people going with passes to have Baba's darshan.In the queue one Sai devotee gave me his experiences of visiting Shirdi for the last 40 years. I felt Baba in his form came and made me so happy to hear such experiences. In one of our visits, I had lost all my belongings through a trick, but I have never lost hopes. Baba in one form came and helped me to reach my place. I have experienced Baba's leela in many ways. I see in every action Baba only. Baba helped me to come out of difficult situations. Baba is a part of my family. In every action, I find Baba's leela and feel happy. I imagine Baba in every possible relationship.

Sheena Bhatia

I m writing a very important lesson I learnt in my life. I was taking up my dental exams and in the 3rd part I faced immense problems and was not getting things the way they should be for the exam. I was very disappointed and had cried a lot when I came back from the test. By Baba's grace, I have a big poster of my Baba and I just ran to him, hugged the poster, and cried questioning Baba why did that happen to me. Still I had full faith in Baba, I did pass, and then I cleared the next part as well. I was the happiest person when I learnt all is done and I can finally be called as a doctor. Throughout my struggle when I look back at every step, I feel Baba with me holding my hand, comforting me and just telling me to have faith and patience and then all I had to do was to do my best and leave the rest to Baba and I actually enjoyed working and preparing for the test and it all fell into place. I thank Baba for giving me such a wonderful, caring and encouraging family. Baba please help me to always be humble, never fail to do my duties, and always be at your feet. You are my everything Sai and I m totally dependant on you. Please never leave me.

A Sai devotee


My mom was an ardent believer in Saibaba when I was in my Engineering. Even though I used to visit baba temple quite frequently I could not call myself a complete devotee at that time. However, I used to visit Baba temple, which was right across our college at that time. After few years after I completed my education and landed up a job and was about to get married, my mom wanted me to accompany her to the temple I/we used to visit. That day I was driving the scooter and we had a good visit and returning back home. On the way back to home the scooter slipped and we both fell down, the surprisingly mom was absolutely safe and I had a minor scratch on one of my fore arms.

Few years later after marriage, we were having trouble conceiving a baby. Doctor said she was going to give some medicines and she should be able to conceive that next month, however nothing happened. The doctor said she would increase the dose again but only after a month time. We came back home dejected. That weekend we visited Sai's temple and prayed for getting through this problem. In a week my wife was pregnant and even the doctor who was treating my doctor was surprised and this is when I started believing in him. Now I am a strong believer of Sai and make it a point to remember Sai at all times.

3. LAKSHMI, DURGA, SARASWATI  


Lakshmi is the Goddess of wealth, Durga is the Goddess of power (sakti) and Saraswati is the Goddess of knowledge.

I am surprised to realize that what I saw in dreams, meditation or prayers got correlated with actual events in life.

Lakshmi :  

The first incident was about twelve years back I had this dream. There was hilly area. The air was quiet chilly. Some people along with me were climbing up a strenuous path. We were tired but were progressing in our journey. We came to a cave and had to pass through it, bending our heads and walking precariously. There was a stream flowing and we had to pass that also. Suddenly near a bend I was confronted by a Goddess. I stood over there looking. Later that Goddess became Lakshmi Devi. I could hear the sound of water flowing through the rocks beneath. The Goddess was sitting on a big lotus, smiling and gave her blessings. When the Goddess gave her darshan, I folded my hands and bent my head in reverence.

I told my dream to others but we could not realize which place it was. I thought that the dream had no relevance and forgot about it.

After some years, when I was casually watching the T.V., I saw some pilgrims walking on an almost similar hilly track. I started thinking about where I had seen this place before, when I suddenly remembered the dream. The Goddess was Vaishnava Devi. I had no idea or clue about Her before my dream. I was surprised that how could I get a dream about something that I had never seen in my life nor knew that it existed. I was happy that the Goddess gave me Her darshan, even though I was ignorant.

Durga :

This incident happened exactly one year after the Om Jai Jagdeshwari miracle described later in this book.

One day, my mother and myself were alone in the house with the kids. That night at about 10 p.m. the temperature of my daughter started rising. We became worried as we could not take her to a doctor. We immediately rang up our family doctor and spoke to him. He told us to administer some tablets for the fever. As there was nothing much we could do, we had to just pray that the fever would not rise. We administered the tablets and the baby started getting sleep. As I was having some doubt lurking in my mind based on my experiences last year, I anxiously looked at the calendar for the actual date of commencement of Navaratri festival. I became wonder struck as it was the first day of Devi Navratri. So the Goddess gave me a little scare by making my daughter unwell and made me pray to her. I remembered Om Jai Jagdeswari and started chanting the mantra which till then I quite neglected. I continued the meditation till the early hours of the morning. The face of a Goddess appeared in front of me. I did not know who she was. The face flashed many times in front of my eyes. The face looked as if it was carved in wood. I prayed to her also that the baby should get well. My daughter became normal by morning.

Then again after some days, in the night I was watching TV The program showed how Goddess Durga was worshipped in different forms all over India. Suddenly, they showed the forms of Durga carved in wood. In my shock I could not register the name of the place where She was worshipped in this form. But in this form Goddess Durga is worshipped to cure ailments and to bestow health to the people. I was surprised.

I can say that the Goddess Durga is so magnanimous that even though I was ignorant and did not know that this certain form of the Goddess existed, She only came to me, gave Her darshan and made me pray to Her. She hinted or showed to me through the TV program that She really existed.

Saraswati :

In my routine prayers, I also pray to Goddess Saraswati.

Sometimes, in my prayers, a certain Goddess with Her face completely yellow and wearing a crown used to come. I mistook the vision and always thought that it was Goddess Lakshmi.

For "Varalakshmi Vrata" puja we apply turmeric to a coconut, so that it becomes yellow in color and on it we put eyes, ears, lips, etc., just like the face of a Goddess. This coconut is put on top of a pot and a saree is wrapped around it and decorated with ornaments. She is considered as Goddess Lakshmi and is worshipped on that particular day.

As soon as I saw a yellow face I thought of Goddess Lakshmi only. On seeing the crown, I thought, the Goddess was asking me to decorate her with the crown the next week when I perform the puja. The following Friday, in the same auspicious month, I did the puja of Goddess Lakshmi grandly and also decorated her with a crown made of a small ornament I had. I was very much satisfied with myself, that I performed the puja nicely according to the wish of the Goddess.

Then again, after a week or so, after the Lakshmi puja, the yellow faced Goddess again started appearing. I was perturbed. I thought I did everything correctly regarding the puja, but then, why was She appearing again and again?

I asked the Goddess also whether I did something wrong that she appeared so many times. She used to appear at times in a flash and disappear, but She used to come regularly with long intervals in between. I always thought of her as Goddess Lakshmi and whenever She appeared I used to bow to her and join my hands in prayer. This happened many times.

One evening I was very busy with some work and was moving from one room to the other. On the TV they were showing some program and my son was watching it. Suddenly he shouted, "Mom" it is "Basara Saraswati Devi, come and see, how nice She is looking". I said, "Keep quite and watch it if you want, I am very busy, don't disturb me". But as he was very persistent saying what will happen if you just give a look and go, I came to the TV and had a look. I was shocked because what I saw was the Goddess who was persistently coming in my vision. It was the same yellow face with a crown on Her head. It was unbelievable and I was also dazed. My mother was also surprised when I showed her the figure and reminded her of my visions.

As I did not recognize Her and as I mistook Her for Goddess Lakshmi instead of Goddess Saraswati, She came persistently to me. Even after coming so many times when I could not recognize her, she enlightened me through the TV How could an ignorant person like me know how Goddess Basara Saraswati looks when I have never gone to that place in my life.

After I realized the truth that it was Goddess Saraswati and not Goddess Lakshmi who came in my vision, the vision stopped coming.

To date, I fail to understand how such experiences occur and how can they be explained or proved by science.

Saibaba Is Botfh With Divine Virtues

I visited Shirdi for the first time and stayed there from 14th to 16th October 83 during Punyatithi festival. Since I was not knowing much about Shri Sai Baba, I purchased a book entitled Shri Sai Charita' from the library of the Sansthan. The book contains wonderful life, several miracles, leelas and teachings of Shri Sai Baba. Really Sai Baba has done much for the welfare and uplift of the world and after His 'Nirwan' He looks at them who look at Him.

On having gone through the above sacred book, it is observed that He possessed all the divine virtues, as described in Shrimadbhagwadgita Chapter XVI S. 1 to 5 These are divine qualities.

Fearlessness, purity, a steady use of discriminative faculty, charity, self-control, unselfish service, reading of scriptures, discipline, frankness, non-violence, freedom from anger, non--attachment, tranquillity, innocence, kindness towards all creatures, absence of greed, gentleness modesty, firmness, enthusiasm, mercy, power of endurance, cleanliness and absence of jealousy and pride.

Shri 'Sai Baba' was born not only with these virtue? but he was having Godly powers. It is the experience of all the people that they get spritual strength and a new vision when they go to the Samadhi Mandir, Dwarakamai, Chawdi etc at Shirdi. Sai Baba gives peace and perfect tranqullity of mind to them. I bow at the lotus feet of 'Sai Baba'.

Faith Can Move Mountains

Believe me dear readers the context of the saying is Above Board (Honest, Upright and fair). An incident of my life will illustrate the truth of it.

But first let us see what is 'faith'.

Instead of going into an elaborate interpretation of the literary meaning of the word, the following narration will serve the purpose far better :

In a village there was no rain for a long spell. The people gathered therefore in the local Church to pray to God.

The priest who presided over the prayer-meeting looked at the crowd and inquired, "we have gathered here to pray to God to bestow us with rain. Why then have you not brought your umbrellas?. Where is Your Faith?."

Indeed, true faith is a rare gift and its fruits are the sweetest. We must develop such true faith in Sai, Our Lord, and should lay ourselves completely open to his protection in order to enable his divine grace to shower abundantly on us.

The perpetual faithful meditation of 'Mara Mara' (although a wrong pronounciation of 'Rama Rama') enabled dacoit Ratnakar to achieve fame and immortality as 'Rishi Valmiki".

True and sincere faith with firm belief in 'Sai Lord', and a little of Self-Help, can create wonders and surpass the worst of difficulties.

My mother-in-law and myself desired that the Navjote (Thread Ceremony - Munj) of my elder son should now take place. But the financial circumstances were such that it looked like a pauper's dream.

Years passed - time flew - taking on its wings my dear mother-in-law to her heavenly abode, leaving me alone with the dream which we had so jointly cherished. Realisation of this dream now seemed like a long road that has no turning.

I had now a double responsibility, two sons-one-of eleven an the other of eight, both of the age when the religious ceremony was absolutely required to be performed My husband and myself sought the help of our relatives to back us up But no avail Either they were helpless or pretended to be helpless

Driven to bay, my husband thought of seeking help fro our religious institutions which performed Common-joint Navjot -(Sarvajanik Munj) for poor Parsi children.

"Beggers cannot be choosers. Better a little fire to war you than a large one that burns." he advised.

But I could not give in I wanted the occasion to be grand one as dreamt by my mother-in-law. After all while the is life there is hope.

"Well, your dreams, your desires are your own bed and you must lie on it, "he threatened.

By now. (this is after 1977), I had come under the fold a protection of Lord Shree Sai and was well aware that "All things come to him, who waits".

Desperate   cases   need   desperate remedies I started  praying day and night, in  earnest, at the feet of Sai, to invoke his help for I remembered.    He had said,  "Meditate   on Me, repeat name,  and    sing   about   My    deeds - I    shall   stay    by   your side, always".

It was   October   1st, 1981, I saw   His grace in my dreams beckoning me to go to Shirdi.

I had been to Shirdi before, on three occasions, but with a different problem, each time all of which were satisfactorily solved by my Lord Sai Baba.

The very next day, with my husband and children, I reached Shirdi.

Entrusting my husband with the problem of lodging, etc. I immediately ran to my dear father's abode, There in His royal presence 1 forgot all my worries and woes and found peace of mind. I looked at His Majestic personality with tear-streaming eyes, and placed my problem in his care.

Later on in the calm and serene atmosphere of Dwarkamai I poured my heart out to Him. I spoke to him as I would to the elders in my family and called upon him to help. Sai never sends anyone empty-banded. I too returned home with his Udi and his blessings, thrilled with the joy of His protection. "Cast all your burdens on me and I shall bear them". He had said and f believed Him. I did So, I knew that when one enters the Dwarkamai his goal is achieved.

In November '81 my maternal aunt (one of the quarters I had knocked before, seeking help), a widow now, came to stay with us.

Casually she asked me when I would perform the Navjote of my sons. I appraised her of my mother-in-law's dream and how difficult it was for me to realise the cherished dream.

Deeply moved by my sincerity, she, of her own accord, promptly offered financial assistance to pay for the costs.

I was taken aback and all agog to hear this. The offer had come from the blue, What a Leela ! What a Miracle ! My Father 'Sai- had heeded to my prayer and set the ball rolling. Sai's mill grinds slow but sure.

Besides our own contribution of Rs. 10.000/- (from society etc.) my aunt had offered another Rs. 11.OOO/-. The monetary side was solved in a jiffy. When Baba wills, it does not rain It pours. The occasion could be now celebrated with pomp.

I had set my heart on having the Navjote on the 26th January 1982. But the hotel was fully booked for the next months. Not a single date was available. I could see my hope going up in flames.

That night as I lay in a semi-awake state, wondering what would happen, I suddenly felt Baba's presence in the room. His image on the wall glowed-a strange Mona Lisa Simla played on His face. "Do not fear child. My eye is ever on those who love me, I am always aware of everything. Try again tomorrow", he assured me. A great calm fulled me. I went to sleep.

I tried again the next day and was told that the hotel could be available on the 25th of January 1982 (A Monday My husband's Off-day) due to a cancellation. A second bolt of surprise. I was humbled. He was right. I must trust Him, I made the necessary bookings immediately.

From then on everything, connected with the occasion, went well and we were able to make the dream of my mother-in-law come true, through the benevolence of my father 'Sai'. My sons moved about, bedecked in the richest of clothes, smart as ever, proud as a pair of peacocks.

Yes, dear Sai - brothers and sai-sisters faith in Sai, had made the impossible possible. Without a single farthing in the month of October, we had performed a grand Navjote in the month of January -a span of only four months.

See how faith in Sai moved mountains,

. SWAPNA'S DEATH  

My First daughter Swapna was very serious. She was only a year old baby. The doctors also did not know her condition properly. I started continuously thinking, Baba, will she live or not. In the night I got this dream.

Two very beautiful gold fishes were playing in the water in an aquarium. My daughter also was very beautiful. Suddenly both the fishes fell down and were dead. The male voice that I heard was --

"Death is inevitable for anybody".

After this scene, immediately another scene came. It was a very big hall with marble flooring. On one side there was a big statue of Baba and on the other side was a big statue of Goddess Lakshmi. Both the statues were beautiful and magnificent and were almost touching the ceiling. The whole hall was sprinkled with rice grains. I was standing and looking at the divine figures with a sad expression on my face.

I do not know the connection between both these dreams. Except that Baba knew before only about the sorrow that was about to befall me and that I would still continue to pray Baba, even after the sorrows.

SUGARCANE JUICE  



When my daughter Swapna was in a serious condition I got this dream.

I was on a railway platform and was very thirsty. Some friends were also there with me. We had no water bottles with us. All of us were searching for water but we could not find water anywhere. We walked up and down, two or three platforms but there was no water.

Finally, on the last platform, on a bench sat a Fakir. He was just like Baba but a little more fat. He had a jug with him. We could not control our thirst and asked him for the little water that he had. He agreed and started giving a little water to everyone. I was the last one and by the time my turn came the jug was empty. There were only two or three drops at the bottom.

I took the jug from him hoping to wet my tongue at least with that two drops of water. Baba pulled off the jug from my hands. He smiled and said, "There is no need for you to quench your thirst with water. From now on you can quench gave me the jug again. It was filled to the brim with sugarcane juice. I was surprised. I drank my full and still a lot was left. The Fakir vanished, laughing.

I hoped that some miracle would take place and my daughter would be alive. But she died. I was frustrated and very angry with Baba because when he could not save the girl, why to come in dreams and show such instances. I was in a state of depression for a long time.

But after lapse of many years and also after mature consideration, I felt that though I wanted water, Baba gave me sugarcane juice. That is though I begged for the life of my daughter, Baba knew that it was not possible and so instead of her he gave two more children. We have to endure what is written in our fate.

WRONG INTERPRETATION  


On day I came from the hospital (during daughter Swapna's illness) took bath and stood near Baba's photo and prayed. Suddenly I felt as if the whole of Baba's mouth was filled with blood, and I was shocked.

After sometime, my daughter died. I was frustrated, dejected and I chided Baba that He was the one who took away my child. I held Baba responsible for her death. For many years I could not reconcile myself. Whenever I thought of the event I was very sad and dejected.

After many years, I was praying to Baba, but inwardly I remembered this incident and was very disturbed. Then as if coming from my mind only I heard a voice, which said, "I did not take your baby, I took the suffering of the baby on Me". Baba flashed the message in my mind. After this incidence I stopped interrogating Baba regarding this matter.

Baba tries to do good only to us, but in our misery and suffering we interpret Him wrongly. If it is written in our `Fate' that we have to suffer, then we have to suffer. Perhaps Baba would not like to interfere with `Fate'. Only we get a lot of solace by praying to Him and He also tries to smoothen our path.

In my case, just one month after my daughter's death a son was born to me. And with a new born baby we will have so much work that there is no time to sit and think. And in one way that is also solace.

Before this interpretation, some four or five years after the death of my daughter, one night Baba came in the dream. He said, "You are thinking I took away your daughter. No I did not. See, if you want I will give back your daughter to you'. Saying this he dug up the tomb and gave her to me. I quickly touched her from top to toe and she was alive. She was wearing the same green frock in which she died. I started thinking, how could she survive there (underground) for so many days. I woke up from the dream trembling, shivering and sweating. After this, I became pregnant and a daughter was born to me.

FAITH  


One day I was in very low spirits. I was continuously thinking, Baba we pray to you only, we are your devotees, then why do you inflict such suffering on us that we are unable to bear it.

I got the following dream. My mother and myself were walking on a bridge over a river. Suddenly the bridge started collapsing. All the people including my mother ran for safety and were safe.

Only I fell down into the water. I was panic stricken as I was on the verge of drowning. Then I thought, though I am a devotee of Baba, my plight is like this. Baba says he helps his devotees, then what is this. He is not even bothered about his devotees who are suffering. Immediately Baba appeared and threw a big block on me. First of all I was drowning and on top of it if a heavy weight (load), falls on me, instant death was inevitable. I was surprised by Baba's behavior but I knew I was about to die and as a last resort unknowingly I screamed Baba, Baba, please help me.

The next minute Baba threw a large net like basket around me and hauled me out of the water to safety.

Baba stood there before me, smiled and gave the following message :

"If you have complete faith in Me,

From all the burdens shall I free you".

As soon as I fell into the water I was proud that why should Baba not come and rescue his devotees. But when I screamed from the bottom of my heart, for His help, throwing all my burden on Him, thinking it is His wish to rescue me or not, He immediately came and rescued me.

Our troubles, sorrows, pains, grief, distress, everything comes under burden because they all weigh us down like a heavy load. If we start ignoring our difficulties and leave everything to Baba, He only will wade us out of this worldly existence, decide our future path and take us to safety.

I would like to share my a few experiences with Sai.

1st Feb 2003 I had my abortion of my first progeny. It should have been one harrowing experience but for Sai. On 30th  Jan 2003 night I had a nightmare for a dream where in I saw as though the child in my womb was a son who is evil personified and causing someone's death . In fact I refrain from giving my entire dream since it always sends down a chill down the spine.  But I know this that I got up immediately after dream drank water and prayed to Sai . I asked if what i saw was true , if child was evil I donot want it. But if otherwise please protect the child. As said earlier i had abortion on 1st Feb.
Whether someone believes or not I believe Sai prepared me for abortion by showing me consequences. I was not crying or sad for I believe Sai saved my family. He know what is best for me so he will give me the best.

He has  blessed me with a daughter in 2004.

There are many other instances where his response is  instantaneous.

Another incident I would like to share is : In 2008  we were supposed to pay a downpayment for the house that we had taken. And Money was tight owing to other expenditures. For abt a week I was in tension I could not find peace as to how the money would be arranged.  then I prayed to baba and our guru to help us . by the end of next week the money was arranged without any loans .



Just wanted to comment on Abortion: As per Hindu religion, Abortion is a great sin, equivalent to killing a person. And as Bhagwat Purana says, if someone kills someone, his own duration of life is shortened.

Anyhow, if you have committed an Abortion, there is a way to clear the sin, by following an Ekadashi Vrat or atleast reading the Ekadashi Vrat Katha.

we've been to sai baba temple, shirdi on 13th January morning by 3.45 am to attend kakad arati (morning pooja).
near gate entrance there is no shoe stand, just for security we all kept our shoes to parasad and flowers selling stand.
also purchased parasad and flowers for sai puja. seller forced to pay in advance which was very doubtful.

we went inside for arati and returned back by 6.15 am; and shocked. there was no stall, all stalls and sellers missing.
our boots were stolen and had no clue if this could happen within temple premises.
we never expected the prasad and flower selling people will do this.

after few minutes 15-20 people came there and found their shoes been stole.

we all enquired at security for stall holders/sellers but they did not responded, all hopes were gone if security person standing infront of those stalls cannot tell anything then there is no point complaining inside to the sai trust and we returned back bear footed.


i know no one can return our family boots back but just a thought came into mind that this might help new visitors to protect their luggage and shoes from being stole.

i would suggest new visitors to keep their shoes and chappals in their vehicle.

thank you

[/b]BABA MIRACLES  
BY Krishna
Pasurmati



On Dec 31, 2007 around 4.00 AM, my mother in-law had a dream. She saw Shri Shirdi Babaji coming to her house (that time she was staying in Ardenwood, Fremont at her son's house). Shri Babaji opened the main door and went into Pooja room which was down stairs and sat there. Shri Shirdi Babaji then came upstairs and opened my mother in-law’s bedroom door. and came near her bed. She was shocked! She was about to get up from bed but Shri Babaji told her to sleep and assured her that “HE IS THERE AND WILL TAKE CARE OF ALL PROBLEMS AND NOT TO WORRY AT ALL”. Shri Babaji then put vibhuti on her forehead and sprinkled akshintaa’s all over her and on her bed and in the room too and started leaving. She got up in her dream and held Shri Babaji's legs and pleaded him not to go. Shri Shirdi Babaji said "I have to go now. Everything will be alright. Do not get up”. She kept pleading with Shri Babaji not to go, but Shri Babaji left sprinkling akshintaa’s on the stairs, downstairs and every corner of the house before re-entering the pooja room and disappearing!!

 

My mother in-law was in a shock. Shaking and shivering with the effect of the dream she woke up!!! She saw akshintaa’s all over her and all over in the room too. She immediately switched on the lights and was shocked to see the vibhuti on her forehead. She called her son and daughter in-law and narrated the incident. They too were in a pleasant shock seeing her glowing face and the vibhuti on her forehead and akshintaa’s all over her and the bed. They went downstairs only to see the akshintaa’s all over the place. All of them went to pooja room and were elated to see not only the akshintaa’s,but also the fingerprints of Shri Shirdi Sai Babaji in the haldi, kumkum and akshnitaa’s bowls.

Miracle 2: Second Birth

By Krishna Pasumarti

 

We met with a terrible accident while returning from Shirdi on Feb 2nd 2008, Saturday. We were coming back to Hyderabad in a bus from Shirdi after Babaji's Darshan. After crossing Ahmednagar, around 12.40 am midnight, our bus rolled over and fell in to a ditch more than 20 feet deep. It was pitch dark outside. As soon as I realized that we had met with an accident, I shouted, “Baba, Baba Sai Save us”. At this point, the bus turned and came to a standstill. The bus was on its side with all the pressure on that side. Everyone was terrified and kept shouting, “Baba, Baba Save us”!

 

We broke the window from inside and started coming out. Our bus was in thorny trees (forest trees). It was very cold outside. The front windshield shattered and broke into pieces – small children who were sitting in the front seats were thrown out. With Baba's blessings everyone slowly came out on to the road. We were surprised to see an old lathe workshop. It was open and there were also a few other houses nearby. Miracles continued here!

 

One person wearing white Dhothi and full sleeved banian came to us and said “You are all fine. Don’t worry. Everything will be fine”. By this time it was around 1.00 AM. He called someone and started preparing tea for us on the road in pitch darkness and cold. Everyone was served with tea and water (we had water bottles in the bus). Some of us got bruises, fractures and scratches. He called the police and some local help and told police to open R & B guest house which was located nearby. With Baba’s blessings there was no casualty. We are all very fortunate and lucky to have a second birth. Next morning, we inquired about the person with white dhoti who served us hot tea in the middle of the night. Someone mentioned that he was landlord of that house. But no one saw him again. What a Miracle!!!!


I conclude here by saying that "Shri Sai Babaji is always with us and protecting us from disasters or adverse happenings". Baba, please forgive me for my mistakes or anything I said incorrectly”. WITH SHRI SHIRDI BABAJI’s BLESSINGS, THIS IS A SECOND LIFE TO ME & MY BROTHER!!!!

very wonderful experiences
i would like to share one of my experiences with sai
This happened three n half years ago..in 2006
at that time, I was working in hyd..my other relatives ,in-laws used to live in bangalore.me & husband came to see my in laws n relatives ..Then we were driving back to hyd ..
It was a cold winter early morning..,our baby was just 5months old and was sleeping on the back seat of our car..me n my hus were sitting in front seats
we were driving past a standing lorry when suddenly a lorry dashed on to our car which with a force got pushed to the other side of the road, there was a red color alto which pushed back our car to the middle of the road
within a fraction of second we were hit by a lorry,car and a standing lorry..we just missed a 20ft deep pit
we were fully covered with broken glass pieces my son in my hands..backdoors of the car were broken n jammed
But you know how,none of us had a scare r scartch on us..when we got out of the car some how it was around 4:30 am and to the right side of the road thr was a temple..when I walked to the temple..to my great surprise it was Sai Baba's temple..the pujari was opening the door..he came to our rescue n helped us ..
Later I was shell shocked to know that both my hus and my son just missed a dangerous mruthyu gandam...
I still wonder till date how there was a babaji's temple in such lonely place...how we escaped that accident without a single scratch when our car was completely damaged..I comepletely believe that it was sai who came to save us..
Later the first word my son spoke was not mom or dada..it was Baba..Sai Baba....

Our lives r his bhiksha to us..I totally surrender to his holy feet..Hum par apni kripa aisehi banaye rakhna baba....OM SAI RAM OM SAI RAM

EXPERIENCE OF DEVOTEES:
 
A Sai Devotee


I don't know how to thank Baba for showing me how he is with me in every moment of life. I want to share my today's experience...we were set to get our visa extension and today we found an article saying there's some important papers we have to send in addition to the ones we sent...and my husband and I had a discussion that we might have to lose hopes for our extension...after this I went near Baba's picture and asked him to help me and give the extension because that was very crucial and we had a very unpeaceful yr last yr and that i need peace this year. And within an hour after I prayed to Baba ...we received an email stating that we got an extension for 3 yrs...This is a live example to show that Baba is always with me....pls Baba be there with me n my family like this in every moment of life...pls pls be with us in each n every second of our lives and let us lead a peaceful life.  


A Sai Devotee

Sairam, you blessed me with my second pregnancy when I was desperate for a female child, but now I realize it's a male child and my heart is just not accepting it. I understand it is more important for it to be healthy and grow up to be a good person but at the same time I really long for a female child and even now I am expecting your miracle when I deliver. If that's not going to happen, I humbly request you to please help me accept this child wholeheartedly and love him just as much and pls give me the strength to bring him up to be as wonderful as my first son, your divine blessing again. He is really your child in the truest sense of the word and I am the luckiest mother alive due to your blessings. I request you to pls now give me a healthy, happy baby who'll be a great support to us and his brother all his life and please I humbly request you to bless our family to never regret this decision and to always have peace of mind and good health. I request you to keep the brothers together and happy at all times, as we have nobody but you to turn to. The 4 of us really have only each other to depend on, apart from you. I know you wont let me down about my family and you'll please forgive all my mistakes and make me a better human being everyday. I thank you with all my heart for giving me this baby and hope I'll get some peace of mind and contentment with your divine help. I hope to get a second lease of life with this baby and find the peace and happiness I've never had so far. I want to turn to your prayers and devotion but I am not getting enough motivation and I hope you'll forgive me for that and make me better too.

Baba that the photo I have is very beautiful but it does not have his full body in it, I wanted to see him and samadhi. I prayed thus and totally forgot about it. As I entered the room, I saw that room was full of dry leaves, cockroaches and dust. I entered my room and collected my things and was about to leave the room, I somehow felt curious to check my roommate’s room also. As I entered his room I saw a beautiful laminated picture of Baba with samadhi in  the cupboard. I had goosebumps, I was very  moved by seeing such a beautiful picture, Baba was all smiling and looks very handsome in the picture, I removed my shoes and prayed to Baba saying that nobody is here to take care of him, if he comes to my
current room I would take care of him. I also had a strong feeling of taking the picture with me.

But I felt it might be like committing theft and I thought I should ask my roommate about this and if he agrees then I will take it. I was afraid to ask my roommate, I felt being a Sai devotee himself if he sees this beautiful picture he might keep it to himself. I left it to Baba to decide and asked my roommate, when he heard this he was surprised to hear that there is a picture of Baba that he left behind in his room, he promised me that he will check and will let me know. I left hopes on this. Following Thursday he met me and asked me to take the picture, as he never had that kind of photo nor any of his friend had left it there. He was himself surprised as to how that photo came there.

I felt happy that Baba has indeed blessed me and came to me in such a mysterious way.

I would like to thank Baba for allowing me to share his leela with all Sai Devotees.

Cortesy-A devotee from sai Sandesh. Thanks.  JaiSaiRam

FAITH  


One day I was in very low spirits. I was continuously thinking, Baba we pray to you only, we are your devotees, then why do you inflict such suffering on us that we are unable to bear it.

I got the following dream. My mother and myself were walking on a bridge over a river. Suddenly the bridge started collapsing. All the people including my mother ran for safety and were safe.

Only I fell down into the water. I was panic stricken as I was on the verge of drowning. Then I thought, though I am a devotee of Baba, my plight is like this. Baba says he helps his devotees, then what is this. He is not even bothered about his devotees who are suffering. Immediately Baba appeared and threw a big block on me. First of all I was drowning and on top of it if a heavy weight (load), falls on me, instant death was inevitable. I was surprised by Baba's behavior but I knew I was about to die and as a last resort unknowingly I screamed Baba, Baba, please help me.

The next minute Baba threw a large net like basket around me and hauled me out of the water to safety.

Baba stood there before me, smiled and gave the following message :

"If you have complete faith in Me,

From all the burdens shall I free you".

As soon as I fell into the water I was proud that why should Baba not come and rescue his devotees. But when I screamed from the bottom of my heart, for His help, throwing all my burden on Him, thinking it is His wish to rescue me or not, He immediately came and rescued me.

Our troubles, sorrows, pains, grief, distress, everything comes under burden because they all weigh us down like a heavy load. If we start ignoring our difficulties and leave everything to Baba, He only will wade us out of this worldly existence, decide our future path and take us to safety.  


I am very worried with regards to my college admission. I feel like my life hangs in the balance and ask baba to look after my issue daily. Today i stumbled on your post and it is the answer to my worries. This college tension is like a heavy block. I cannot do anything in peace. But after reading your post I am resolute to give up my anxiety... If Sai maa wills it.. the admission will be mine even if it means I have to wait... He is working to make us all happy and I leave my burden on him...

Thank You sai for answering me through this.. and thank you for posting this..

OM SAI RAM (9th March 2010)
OM SAI RAM
 
12th February, 2010
Dear Friends, brothers, sisters and country men,
As I’am writing these lines I cannot BUT feel ONLY JOY….what experiences I’am going to share with you are 100% True and one thing I will Say YES, SAI BABA JI EXISTS and I LOVE SAI BABA JI & WISH TO LOVE SAI TILL THERE IS GOD IN THIS UNIVERSE…..Om Sai Ram!!
 
Honestly speaking me writing these experiences is infact no less than miracle. I’am a bit lazy person and though I wanted to write these experiences for quite some time but was procrastinating & postponing on one pretext or another. BUT Yesterday some MIRACLE happened and I had to start writing my experiences with SAI BABA JI. I promised SAI that if that happens (& it happened  ) I will start writing my experiences. Friends I know while reading you may feel impatient as thI have tried to write them in detail but I want to tell is that everything is true.
 
Though I Madly LOVE SAI BABA JI  I want to say first that though there are thousands of instances where SAI BABA JI helped me and my friends…… I will try to write maximum experiences so this mail can get a little long… 
 
Miracles A………
How SAI Saved My Friend’s Job & Career………
 
Lets start with the miracle that prompted me to write my experiences with SAI BABA JI. You know, friends as I have written earlier that I’am a bit lazy person and though I wanted to write these experiences for quite some time but was procrastinating & postponing on one pretext or another. But Yesterday I DESPERATELY NEEDED A MIRACLE from SAI. Infact I’am pretty sure that if yesterday’s Miracle would not have happened I would not have written these lines today. But it happened and I now have to keep my promise with SAI  
Actually here this incident…..I have a friend and though he is not very rich and was job less too for the past quite some time initially due to recession and then could not find the right jobs he was very much frustrated. He lost his job last year (2009) I think in August September. As I have said he is not very rich he still goes around helping people with what ever might he has and is very religious……Anyway what happened is during some past incident in life (which I will describe later) he had become a strong devotee of SAI BABA JI. Anyway though he was doing some job here and there but he was not getting the right job. Infact he had been so frustrated that sometimes he would say that though he was good person & intelligent too………..then why was he being troubled….why was he not getting a good job…..
And then suddenly in December 2009-January2010 period he got a Job in Gulf with good pay but more importantly with huge & huge opportunity to grow professionally and make lots of money   It was no less Miracle of SAI….a person who was not getting job of his liking then got suddently such a great Job….SAI Terah Hi Asra Hai…
The story does not end here….now there were delays on Visa front and he had to fly in middle of January but the dates kept on postponing……one can understand the desperation & frustration when everything has been done…all bags packed & everything set and the day are to fly you are told you cannot fly and given a new date….this went on foe over 20 days and again he ( my friend) started getting doubts of fraud and all that…..BUT What Happens, Happens Due To SAI’s Will…..And finally he flew he got a letter that he will be flying on Wedesday and his joining will be on THURSDAY…….now you see if he had any doubts all his doubts perished SAI WANTED him to join on THURSDAY and tell him indirectly TO NOT TO DOUBT SAI……  
Honestly I was still not going to write these lines….as Ok SAI Helped…He Got A JOB…But may be…you know those kinds of doubts remain as millions of Indians work in Gulf at great pays…so….one tends to believe with OK….but I know SAI TRULLY WORKS ON ONE’s MIND FOR THE BETTER……
Anyway continuing….I went with my friend to see him off at the airport and on the airport we found that his luggage was a little overweight. So to cut the long story short…he had to change bags and again take out clothes and all that infact we found that his the weight of Hand Baggage suitcase (empty)  was itself quite heavy so less contents could be  put in. Since I have told that he is very religious he was taking few religious books with him such as Bhagwat Gita which was quite heavy. I told him to leave them but he was adamant to carry all the religious books including SAI SATCHARITA and Bhagwat Gita. So as a last resort we decided to dump the suitcase and transfer all the contents of the suitcase including his Educational Certificates into a strong bag.
Welll…finally he flew….(I have highlighted Educational Certificates word because it in the climax and miracle happened regarding it)
 
And now the climax…….On reaching there (in the Gulf country) he had to show his all the certificates 10th, 12th & graduation with marksheets in original for verification. And he (my friend) could not find his 10th & 12th origical CBSE school certificates. He searched but still could not find and then assumed that during changing of contents the certificates must have been  dumped on the airport….now the trouble….and there a risk he might have to come back to India….he was virtually crying there……One Can Understand The FRUSTARATION, The DESPERATION, the Feeling Of Helplessness when you have been waiting for something for so long…some life changing opportunity for the better and then then suddenly you might have to lose all that because of a mistake.
I Prayed. I too felt Really Bad And Hassled…I Cried…I questioned SAI….You Know I Even Said In The Frustration To SAI…IF THERE IS SAI & I KNOW THERE IS SAI…THEN MY FRIEND MUST BE HELPED….AND IF SAI DOES A MIRACLE AND SOMEHOW HIS CERTIFICATES TURN UP I PROMISED SAI I WILL WRITE MY EXPERIENCES WHICH I HAD BEEN PROCASTINATING…..
Well…Friend If YOU Have Faith In SAI….How Can SAI Leave You…MIRACLE DID HAPPEN.
My Friend’s Organization/Company allowed Him To Join the Job on the basis of his Attested Graduation Certificates Only though they told him he might have to produce original 10th & 12th certificates sometime later. Now friends the immediate problem solved…BUT the question of Original certificates lingers as all will be knowing to get the duplicate original 10th & 12th  CBSE certificate is not easy and very time consuming process…the whole process….I Prayed To SAI Please SAI Please Somehow He Should Find His Certificates There….Please It Is Too Much Strain.. ..Please…..And My Friends I’am writing these Lines With SO MUCH JOY in MY HEART That I CANNOT EXPRESS IT In Right Words…..He Called Me Yesterday Night And STILL He Cannot Believe He Found Is 10th  & 12th  CBSE School Certificate in His Check-in Baggage at some hidden base which he had not checked earlier…
If This Not A Miracle Then There Is No Miracle……I Have No Words….
All I Say Is I BECAME SO OVERWHEALMED WITH JOY THAT SAI LISTENS & HELPS HIS DEVOTEE SO MUCH I CANNOT EXPLAIN….I Love Sai…..Jai Jai SAI…OM SAI RAM…….. Well...I know you all must be thinking is it over...well...NO. The question of how SAI saved my friend from near death hasn't come up yet.
Well his experience is also for those who are gung ho (very keen) to go to Gulf countries for work to work in local gulf companies.
To cut the long story short he (my friend) joined the company and the company treated him well for first 7 days and then after 7 days they wanted to take his passport away from him and make him sign a bonded labour type contract. Infact he was not allowed to go to even washroom/bathroom in his 8 hour work time!!!!!!Secondly they told him when he was in India that they would give him an X amt and there in the contract they offered lower salary than X......it even gets worse when he protested they threatened him with dire consequences....and were not even allowing him to read SAI SATCHARITA & BHAGWAT GITA.....Can one imagine alone in an alien country....he literally cried...and Prayed to SAI and Vaishno Devi Mata Rani. Well...somehow due to MIRACLE of SAI he got saved due to his presence of mind (for example he contacted top lawyers their and told his story and they agreed to help him free...).........meaning he told me that SAI made his mind strong & gave him wisdom to act though the company was abusing him. In the end he somehow was able to come back Cleanly meaning without any trouble all because of SAI. And now as he promised to SAI during trouble that if he got away he would go to Shirdi he is making plans to go to Shirdi....When SAI Calls only then one can go to Shirdi.....IT IS TRUE!!!!!
Welll.....I know it is very easy to read but only a person who has gone through bad times can know real experience and all I can say is though I'am really really beleive in SAI strongly but thee was always an iota of doubt in my heart always BUT now after seeing my friends experience I can SAY IT FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART WITH INFINITE CONVICTION & FAITH SAI IS THERE ALWAYS....And SAI LISTENS....AND WHOEVER PRAYS AT SHIRDI REALLY SAI KEEPS HIS 11 Promises  . I LOVE SAI!!

MIRACLE B.......................................................
How SAI gave my 2 colleagues great jobs.............
Well.....though I have lots of personal experiences with SAI and it INFINITE times that SAI saved me & helped me but I want to tell of 2 incidents which are my favorite and I really really want the forum members to know. Well...we all know how jobs are important and infact the moment an Indian is born his/her parents want him to be a doctor or an engineer   meaning JOBS/CAREER our central to our lives. This happened in 2007.....I had a colleauge who shifted to my company from Banglore.Well....to cut a long story short...he did not like it here. It happened  that he left a really good job and he did not like our company (organization) and he would frequently get in trouble with bosses and all that...infact though he was hired my senior he would report to me though in designation I was his junior. One day it was late in night and we both were working infact all the team members had left for the day and we both were the only members still working. And then he literally cried....he was fed up with the present job and since he was married & had a child he could not just leave the job. wEll...I would like to tell here that I usually keep a SMALL PHOTO OF SAI (the one in which SAI is standing with devotees near a wall)....well my colleauge was so fed up that he started feeling sad & crying at that moment. Well what could I say...he was older to me in years I think and I just said well...I beleive I got my job due to MIRACLE OF SAI (its a different story so will tell you later)  so maximum I can do is just PRAY TO MY SAI BABA JI. And suddenly he (my colleauge got up and went to the PHOTO and bowed in full and tried to lie down flat in front of SAI photo and asked for SAI's help. I also told him if he got a great good job soon then he will have to go to Shirdi as a THANK YOU gesture to SAI. Well...miracle happened within a short peroid (around 30-45 days) he got a great jon in an MNC at much much higher pay and world renowned organization. Infact that company preferabbly highers people from top premier colleges and my colleauge is just a BA Pass through coresspondence!! I'am so happy for him & Yes he went to Shirdi after getting the job with his family and he doing very well in that company. OM SAI RAM!!I Love SAI!!
 
Coming to the other experience OK... it happened in 2009 mid...i.e during one of te worst time for job hunting during recession. Actually one of my team member was asked to leave the company due to poor performance. Now he is an MBA from a decent school and not that bad in work but in my company his performance had been poor. He was repeatedly given warnings but I think he at the bottom could not manage the work hence after nearly 1 1/2 years and during recession he was asked to leave. We knew this would happen but wetre trying to help him as he was the main primary high earning member of his family. Infact in our Company he joined at Rs 2,75,000 Per Annum package and all time during his tenure could only manage very little increment. Anyway...when he was asked to leave he started crying. I think anybody would have tears in his/her eyes in this situation. Luckily he was given around a little over 1 month time to leave i.e he had to hunt for a new job and get it in 1 month that too during bad recession period...mmm..difficult task. Well...he tried lots....must have given lots of interviews but no avail...at last on one day I think it was 15th or 16th May 2009 in the evening me and he were sitting .Most of the team had left but since I had some work and he was applying to jobs online in the evening we were sitting and talking. And suddenly I don't know what happened but he suddenly broke down and started crying. So well...I felt really sorry for him....difficult when one leaves a job without next job in hand.
I really felt sorry for him and you all devotees know by this time I usually kept a photo of SAI on my desk...I told him well...I cannot do much but can only pray for him….d told him if....he (my friend) really wanted a good job then pray from heart for SAI..kneel before him & he should promise SAI that in his next job he would work hard. I also asked him if he got the job he would have to go to Shirdi as a THANK YOU gesture to SAI.He promised all. He prayed....and suddenly out of my mouth words came that by 15th or 16th of next month he would get a good job if he really believed in SAI.Well...his last day in the company was around 4th June.....and till then each day he would come & tell me less days are remaining and still he hasn't got the jon. I mean he had doubts BUT I Assured him IF HE BELEIVED IN SAI he would get the job by 15th June. Well....what do you think what happened.....well....suddenly on 10th June 2009 he got a great good job that too during recession time in a good company which paid him Rs 3,50,000 per annum!!!!!!!!!! riends...remember during this time people were losing jobs.....there were hiring freezes and my colleague got a better paying job than previous company. He was Soooooooooooooooo happy I cannot tell....He became a devotee of SAI....and ofcourse he plans to go to Shirdi to keep his promise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)  Look how SAI saved his career.....FAITH IN SAI CAN MAKE A PERSON'S FUTURE....I LOVE SAI!!! OM SAI RAM!! Sai Baba Ji Kept the words of a SAI lover...I have tears in my eyes...I';am not a great good person BUT I love SAI....how SAI kept my words.....it is too much....SAI IS ALWAYS WITH US. Please people who beleive SAI is no more I ONLY say this that SAI WAS ALWAYS WITH US, SAI IS ALWAYS WITH US AND IN FUTURE TOO SAI WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US!! I Love SAI!!OMSAI RAM!!

If you enjoyed reading them PLEASE give your feedback I will also try to write more experiences in which SAI Blessed Me....  OM SAI RAM!!

Title: My Experience with Sai Baba ji
Post by: chawlavaibhav1 on March 27, 2010, 11:01:02 AM
Jai Sai Ram to all Devotees

Let me share today how Baba’s grace came upon me. My father is a close devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba ji. My parents always used to tell me to go to temple regularly and pray to Sai Nath. I being childish and ignorant, rarely went to temple. Though I used to pray Sai Nath but I was quite busy in my college life, and I did not pay attention to my parents’ instructions. My father was then out of our hometown four years for the job. Because my father was out of the town, so there should be some male person at home to take care of my mother and sister. I got admission in some nearby college for my B.Tech and therefore I stayed at home, and did my B.Tech there itself. After my B.Tech, my turn to go outside came, and my father got transfer to our hometown. I believe that Sai Baba graced us with all this as one male person was always there for my mother and sister to take care . Though I did not attend to my family duties properly but still the presence of a male in the family provided strength. I got admission into a PhD programme in Management in one of the most prestigious IIMs. I was very happy. I joined the programme and first two years passed very quickly. 12th May, 2009 onwards, a sudden change started happening in my life. I spontaneously started thinking about some issues which I never thought before. I guess I tried introspecting spontaneously. I did not know that time what was happening to me. But I started losing my confidence. I started thinking very negatively and was very worried about my condition. I then got into depression and for some time I even did not have the confidence to move out of my room. I was in a deeply bad bad condition. I tried some other methods to get out of this situation but nothing worked. I was left alone and I can’t tell you how bad it was. I am not giving the details of my condition but it was the worse of the condition. I felt I was not able to control my thoughts and mind. I had very harsh thoughts for me. It was then I thought of devoting myself to Sai’s feet. I started reading Sai Satcharitra regularly. The changes started happening. I started lifting myself up everytime with the faith that my Sai is with me. At that time, it was only Baba’s faith which was with me, nothing else. Whenever and wherever I used to go, I just thought that let me leave everything to Sai, whatever will happen I have to accept. I think something bad was meant to happen to me at that time but luckily due to Sai’s grace I started recovering. Months passed, I started gaining confidence and I almost have recovered from the situation just because of Sai. Daily reading Sai Satcharitra saved me and my career. While I was in bad condition, I had the duty to study and start with my thesis also. Somehow due to Baba’s grace I managed and I took my research on a topic related to Spirituality. I started working and the things started happening by itself. I do not have the clear idea how I managed but I am sure that Baba has made me attend to my duties during that phase and he himself provided a good direction to my thesis work which till now I doubt myself how I did. I strongly believe that Baba loves his devotees more than we love ourselves. My beliefs system has changed now and I think i have turned more inwards. What I explained was in very brief, but believe me Baba is very true to his devotees, and no danger can make you fear if you have Sai with you.
Om Sai Jai Sai Jai Jai Sai

om shri saibabaya namaha.
Pyare sai pariwaar bolo jai saibaba.
Mera aur saibaba ka rishta 1972 se hai. tabhi se aajtak mai unke hi sahaare se har mushkil ka saamna karane ka saahas juta paayi hu. Unki ungali pakadkar iss jeevan ki tedi-medi raastopar bhi sambhalkar chal rahi hu. Man me ek atut-sa vishwaas hai  ki woh  mere saath hai aur hamesha rahenge.
Jabhi woh mujhe apne paas bulate hai toh mujhe bahut khushi milati hai aur mera vishwaas aur bhi buland banata hai.
Pichale saal jab hum sai se milane gaye the, toh..meri mannat ko pura karane ke liye hum subah shyam Guru-sthan  aur neem- vruksha ka parikrama kar rahe the. Par man bahut hi bechain sa rehata tha. Ek AAS lagi thi ki SAIBABA iss baar mujhe sarpar haath rakh kar aashirwaad denge toh hi samjungi ki unko meri sraddha kabul hai. do-teen din issi intajaar me chale gaye  phir bhi mai aas lagaaye unki pratikshya karate huve meri parikrama ka vaada pura karne me magan thi.
Aap sbhi ko maalum hoga ki Uss pavitra neem ke ek patte ke liye log kitane taraste hai. aur mare parikrama ke dauraan mujhe do-char to patte mil hi jaate the. Mai unko jyada tar wahi par jo koi bade hi asha se paane ki koshish me hota  unko baat deti thi. tab Unke mukh par jo khushi jhalakati use dekhkar mujhe bahut hi samaadhan hota tha.
Isi tarah jab mera aakhari din (4th day) ki parikrama jo puri honewaali hi thi .....tabhi ek Bujurg aadami  idar-udhar dundate huve nazar aaye . meri nazar unper gayi aur tabhi mujhpar ek neem ka patta aakar gira. Uss aadami ne mujhe dekha lekin kuch nahi kaha phir bhi mujhe aaisa laga ki unko shaayad mujhe mila huva patte ki aas hai .Unohne maanga nahi phir bhi mai unke paas chali gayi aur maine hi khud pucha ...kya aap iss patte ko dhoond rahe the ? tab bhi UNONHE sirf sar hilakar mere haath se uss patte ko liya. PATA NAHI KYUN MUJHE UNKA CHARAN CHUNE KA MAN KIYA AUR MAINE JHUKAR UNKE CHARAN CHUYE.  AUR  MERE SAI NE AAPNE DONO HAAT MERE SARPAR RAKH-KAR DHEEME AAWAAZ ME KAHA KI "SUKHI RAHO" EK PAL KE LIYE MUJHE KUCH BHI SAMAJ NAHI AAYA..JAB SAR UTHAKAR DEKA TOH WOH CHALE GAYE THE. MERE LIYE WOH MERE SAI HI THE...HA WOH HI MERE SAI THE.
Meri man ki pukaar mere sai ne sun li aur mujhe dikha diya ke woh mere saath hai.
Mere bhai, bahno,...mai itana jarur kahungi  ki jo koi sai ke bhorose shirdi jata hai sai unhe kabhi maayus nahi hone dete.
MERE SAIBABA BAHUT HI RAHAM DIL DEVATA HAI.
SAI DEVA TERE CHARNO ME KOTI KOTI PRANAAM.
APNI KRUPA SABHI PAR BANAAYE RAKHNA  MERE SAI.
AAP JISS HAAL ME RAKHENGE HUM USIME KHUSH HOLENGE. BUSS ....HAMARE SAATH HAMESHA REHANA.

I surrender to Baba

My family includes my husband, two children and me. We are today living a contented and happy life because of Baba’s blessings. We experience His blessings regularly. In fact, we believe that our life is the blessing of Sai Baba. And, I will also narrate to our Sai family, how this belief came into being.

Our family was in the habit of visiting any Sai temple, small or big in our vicinity for Baba’s Darshan. On June 4, 2009 we were present for the consecration of a Sai temple in Kharadegaon (Karad), which was built by a devotee with his own finance. On the occasion several Sai devotees from Karad, Masur and Kharade were also present. From morning 10 a.m. onward till evening we were enchanted by the Sai-filled environment. The function was so wonderful, that my husband, Dr. Ravindra Agarwal, clicked a few photos of Baba’s idol from his mobile, so that our daughters could see the photos.

When we returned home that evening, I narrated the day’s festivities to my elder daughter and started showing her the pictures. About 7-8 pictures were clicked; but none of them were clear. I could not comprehend the reason; because on examination we found that there was nothing wrong with the camera; we were mystified; but then after showing my daughter the two photos I had clicked from my mobile and retired to bed early as my husband was going to perform a surgery early next morning.


Next day my husband woke up and started from home at 4.30 a.m. We bid him farewell in a half awake state and then again went back to sleep. At 5.30 a.m. the phone rang and I started wondering who could be calling at such an hour. I also started getting apprehensive. When I took the call, I found it was my husband; he said, “Hello” and waited for a second. In that moment, I thought, he must have forgotten something. But, I felt the carpet being pulled from beneath my feet when he said, “Our vehicle has met with an accident, please come and take me.”

In that moment what I experienced was what any married woman will tell you. I was shaken up. I also started pondering, who will help me at such an early hour ? When this query arose in my mind, I thought of Sai and immediately ran to the shrine, prostrated before Baba and earnestly told Him, “You Alone will take care of us.”

I immediately called our family friend Dr. Kale, who agreed to help. He brought his car, and I left along with my daughter to the accident site. While on the way I was beseeched with thousands of thoughts like how badly is my husband hurt ? What will be the state in which we will see him ?

I started feeling a shiver of fear run through my body as the time was passing by. While at the same time I was also repeating Baba’s name. When I reached the accident site, I was shocked to see the state in which our vehicle was. My eyes were running around trying to get a glimpse of my husband, who was nowhere in sight. My heart was beating rapidly. When I looked at the smashed front portion of the vehicle, I kept wondering, what could have happened to my husband who was driving the car ?

Then I saw my husband walking with a few villagers from one direction. I immediately felt relief surging through me. The villagers had helped extricate him from the car. After seeing the damaged car, it was difficult to believe that the occupant was walking, when anyone could have questioned his survival ?

But, by Sai’s grace, my husband received only a minor one to his inner lips because of his teeth rubbing into them due to the impact of the accident; and a minor blow to his chest. The medical reports later proved he was fine. Incredible is that even the spectacles he was wearing was intact. Besides, the photo of Ganesh and Sai Baba on the dashboard ! What else can be called a Sai Leela !!

On returning home, my husband recalled the earlier day’s episode and started checking for Baba’s photo on the mobile. They were still unclear. A friend of ours, when he heard about the incident said, “Baba has pulled the calamity much earlier on Himself.” This must be true; because all the pictures clicked before and after that event were clear. Baba’s miracles are so mystifying and puzzling for a human mind to comprehend.

Baba has given our family a rebirth. I am touched that Baba’s compassion is there on our family. I pray to Baba to drench all the devotees with His love and compassion.

This incident has signified to us that Baba is with us every moment. We are praying to Baba that to bless our family, so that we do not make any mistakes in our life. We also humbly pray that Baba should shroud us with His love throughout our lives.

Dear Kavita,

Baba has blessed you with a wonderful gift.. his love and grace. May it ever flow abundantly on you and your family. When we love baba as a father, he takes it upon himself to care for us as his children. Your case is a good example of that.

Sai, may your love flow on your children forever.

Sainath came to Qatar

Today I would like to share a small incident with you. I am a firm believer in God, but never worshipped Sai Baba. My husband though believes in him a lot and has seen number of his miracles. For me it was always Shiva and for him it was always Sai. In Jan 2010 only I shifted to Qatar from Delhi.

From past few months, some unfortunate things happened in my life and because of that I was a quite disturbed. Almost a year ago I had read somewhere that by reading Sai Satcharitra, your all problems disapper. So just to give it a try I started reading it it. Though intially I wanted to do some rituals like making prashad and pooja, before reading Sai Satcharitra but then I thought its ok without it because I never believed in Sai Baba. I told it to myself as " Nothing will happen , no miracle and no point in making prashad".

The day was 13th May 2010. I don't know what happened that while reading the very first line I started crying. I thought might be because I am very tensed so my emotions are coming out. After reading 6th chapter I logout out from the website. As I was dicussing Sai leelas mentioned in the chapter with my husband suddenly I had my door bell rang. When I opened my door I saw my neighbour an Indian lady whom I hardly know, (just hi hello types) standing infront of me with a bowl of sweets basically (prashad)in her hand . She told me that " This is Sai Baba's Prashad" and she wanted to give it to me.

Then she went back to her house and I was standing there speachless, motionless. I was shocked and was shacking badly as if I had seen something unexpectedly. I went upstairs with the bowl of prashad in my hand and started crying. My husband was suprised to see me in that form. He asked me the matter and  I told him everything. After hearing me he just said one sentence.

" Sai came to Qatar to give you prashad he made himself for you , so that you can believe him"

After this incident I was not able to sleep the whole night. I kept wondering about Sai leela. The very next day I got up. Took bath and made prashad for " MY SAI BABA" . I feed him and then distributed it. and after it I completed my SAI SATCHARITRA.

My problems are still there but now I am not alone. My Sai is with me and Allah Sab Theek Karega.

Om SAI RAM.

I'm a clerk working in a bank.I used to carry my office safe keys with me sometimes.I was living in one of the busiest metro cities ,3 years ago.One day,when I was going to the office in the town bus,the lady who sat beside me,was asking me some unnecessary questions,just to divert me and grabbed the oppurtunity to steal something from my bag.I had kept the said keys,in a separate pouch,which was visible since i hadn't closed my handbag.When I was replying her,I felt a jerk in my bag and the bag appeared a little weightless.Actually,that bus wasn't about to start at that moment.So,I got down to take another bus.Suddenly I sensed an instinct to check my bag.I found that the key pouch was missing and was shocked as it would be a big black mark in my service.Hadn't I taken the keys,I would be forced to face several enquiries and consequences and which would cost a considerable amount of money.I had even informed my higher officials about the same so as to enable them make alternate arrangements.At the same time,I thought of SAI for just a second to have myself relieved from this calamity.The bus from which I got down was in one platform and the bus I needed to take was after 2 platforms.I was circling round the 3 platforms searching for the key.To my astonishment,I saw a boy who was having my pouch opening and seeing inside it.Immediately I snatched the pouch from his hand much to the shock of the boy.Actually what would have happened is that lady had taken my pouch,searched for some money and as there was nothing other than the keys,she had closed and thrown the pouch away before the bus had started.The pouch fell on the feet of the boy who was somewhere around there.At the same time,I was also coming in search of the pouch in the nearby platforms,which I crossed.It was around 10:30 AM,in a busy bus terminus in HYDERABAD.The whole scene came to an end without any problem either to me or my higher officials.It all happened in a wink of an eye,because of SAI.Since that day,I used to call SAI,for each and every difficult moments,be it ,big or small.I had one of my relatives who wasn't in good terms with me for a long time.My mother's ceremony was to be performed for which I wanted to be invited by that concerned relative.As usual,I prayed to our beloved SAI that I would share my experience if I was invited by that person who is none other than my brother's wife who suffered mental depression for quite a while.To my surprise,one fine morning,she called me up and invited for the ceremony which now I'm sharing with you.As she suffers from such an illness,i asked SAI whether she'll be alright,SAI answered me that she'll be alright by April.Now we have shifted to Chennai where she too lives and trying to unite with my family.I hope,by the grace of SAI,she'll be totally relieved of  her problem and we'll all be united in a short time which also,I'll be sharing with you.Om Sai Ram.

Om Sai Ram,

Hi, yesterday a very funny thing happened. I was praying to God with full devotion. I had made some prasad and lited a lamp too and was singing his bhajan. Suddenly I found my 3 and half year old son standing next to me with a candle and a matchstick. He wanted me to lit it. So I did it. He again interuppted me in between and said "Mummy stop this prayer and sing Happy Birthday To You" . On hearing this I started laughing and said Its not his birthday. But He didn't listen to me at all. So We ( Me , my son and my maid)  sang Happy Birthday to Sai Baba.

Today when I called up my Mom, she told me that yesterday it was Shani Devta's Birthday. I was stunned for a minute. I told her the whole incident as what happened yesterday while praying. Whether it is Sai or Shani, God is one. We forgot his birthday, but he made us remember it and wish him. "Belated Happy Birthday Shani Dev".
You are truly amazing. We forgot your birthday. But you made us realize thru a small child . 

Thank you Baba. Love you with all heart and devotion.

Jai Jai Sai Ram

Jai Sai Ram. I have always loved Sai and know that he is amongst us keeping us in care.
Close to 2 and 1/2 yrs back my life was full of tests and trials as I was staying away from my parents who I think as Gods because of my wife. She was passing through a very bad phase in her life blaming me for everything even if it was the smallest thing. We used to fight a lot and thenmake up and then again she would fight with me for not providing enough for her. In one of the fights I walked away and got into my car - this was getting too much for me and I decided to just drive away from all this and took the highway and thought I woul djust keep on driving as my mind was in turmoil. I was driving in the outskirts of Bangalore near to International Airport and then came across a lot of cars parked and people near to a temple. Seeing that I stopped turned back and parked my car. I walked towards the temple thinking I will stay a while till my mind rests a while. BEHOLD the temple was Sai Baba's very big temple near to Devenhalli - people In Bangalore will know this temple which is near to Devenhalli on the main road. It has a very statue in the middle of Baba and I took Darshan and Prasad and sat theer a while to ponder things. This episode was Baba's Leela - he made me stop and think that we cannot run fromanything - we have to endure all his tests and live life always saying his name and seeking his blessings. After this and many more episodes Baba is my Guru, God and friend. I recall him whenever I can and alo pray to him always...Sai baba is there forever for his devotees and keeps us all safe.
Hail to Baba - Sadguru Sainath Maharaj ke Jay...
Om Sai Om.

This is the personal experience of Sri Stephanie Cappitelli shared at SSB center of Manhattan.

During a visit to Prashanti Nilayam, I was sharing a room in one of the round buildings. While I had not known my roommate before this trip, we found ourselves so compatible that we went to darshan and ate our meals together. But on one occasion, my roommate wanted to leave early to meet a former friend before darshan. So I stayed in the room. When I was ready to leave, imagine my chagrin when I discovered my roommate had inadvertently locked me in!

Now I was in a real predicament. No one else was around. I was alone, locked in my room, and very upset. I would be missing darshan, trapped, perhaps for hours, as my roommate would not be back for two hours of darshan, the hour or so for dinner, and another hour or two for shopping in Puttaparthi. I panicked and began crying, bemoaning my fate. It was in this terrible state of mind, feeling like a victim, that I noticed a small hole in the window screen. An insect, like a wasp or a bee had come into the room, adding another worry -- that of a bee sting. I prayed to Swami trying to accept His will. I also prayed for help to get out of the room.

After a while I claimed down and become fascinated by the bee. It was obviously distressed at being trapped inside the room and seemed desperate to get out. It kept banging against the screen in its attempt to do this. Each time it failed, it flew back into the room and tried again. It did this over and over again. Finally, after many attempts, it found the hole it had come in through and flew out of the window.

Watching this, I realized that nothing happens in Prashanti Nilayam without reason. Every thing is a message from Swami. What was the message of the bee? Surrendering is not feeling like a victim. Surrendering is accepting your circumstances and doing the best you can, leaving the results to Swami. So I began to do something for myself and not just wait for a miracle. I cried out, shouting for someone to come and help me. Soon a man sweeping the hall heard me and came over and opened the latch.

OM SRI SAI.............. to every devotee's of BABA.

It was on 14-07-2010 evening, I would like to share the thing happened with me.

After finishing my office hours, i was on the way to railway station to catch my regular routine train, I get down from city bus near to railway station & start walking towards station with enchanting BABA's name. Before i enter into a station i am looking a FHAKIR who's with a dress code of white as of BABA wear... for a moment i was shocked & felt happy to see a that person as of BABA, becos as i told i was coming with remembering BABA's name.

Just i was thinking he may come to me, suddenly he came to me, the place where we are standing is a little bit of dark side and can't see each face clearly & he shown me a silver idol of BABA & told me to get prayer.

As usual i pray to BABA's idol & put 2Rs. coins into the BABA foot. Then the fhakir put his hand in his JHOLI & took out few coins & handed over to me of 9Rs. (5Rs, 2Rs, 1Rs & 1Rs.) and even a ring with a stone & told me to worship them by putting in the feet of BABA at my home, then he asked me to donate aatta (wheat flour), becos he told that he is coming from BABA's samadhi & he is having plan to serve food for some fahkir's, but there are no kirana shop's near to the place, where i stood so that i can buy wheat flour and give it to him. So i thought of giving a some amount, then i gave him 100Rs. He took that amount & had some conversion with me. After few minutes he returned back me that 100Rs. & told just i am examining your how true your for god shake with good or bad thoughts!!!!.

Then he told me to show my purse (batwa/pocket), & i thought he is with good intention asked but he told me to took the whole amount how much i have in my purse & i took out of Rs.300/-, he took that amount & enchanted with few things & told me i am going to take this amount & serve food for fahkir, by this time when i looked into my watch i remembered i am getting late to catch the train. In an hurry bury i didn't argued with that person & moved from that place without saying any thing to him, becos i noticed while he is speaking i found he have bad breath smell of liquor...... then i thought he might be telling a lie thing to me, but even though i didn't take that money away from him, which he took from me. Because of some good thoughts come into my mind that, off course he might be in trouble with some problem, so with this thought only i didn't said any bad words to him.

As i remembered BABA's thoughts if some one will abuse/ slander/ cheat to you don't reply to them with same, please keep quite & let the matter leave it to GOD'S mind, so he can justify...... the correct/wrong thing.


The whole truth i shared with my wife, mom & other family members, they advised me not to do such kind of things like showing your purse to any unknown person... becos now a days we can't believe any unknown person.

Now the amount & a ring given by him is with me & i kept at BABA's feet & worshiping.


Now please let me tell,

1. WHETHER I HAVE DONE CORRECT OR NOT?
2. WHETHER ITS BABA OR NOT? &
3. WHETHER TO WORSHIP THOSE THINGS OR NOT? "


I am not worrying about of the amount he took from me,
but why people use to do like this in the name of god?
I believe it's as a BABA's darshan, so BABA take care of this matter....

One night I went to sleep after 3 am. But I could not sleep. Before sleeping I had read Sai Babas leelas in Sai Samarpan. In one of the articles, one of the bhaktas had cited the famous sloka- Guru Bramha, Gurur Bishnu, Guru sakshat ParamBramha….and I read the sloka twice or thrice by myself.
 
 
One night I slept after 3 am but for whatever reason, I could not sleep. At around 5.20 in the morning, I got irritated and switched on the radio and listened to a few songs, After surfing the stations, I came to a station which was broadcasting bhajans of Sai Baba and believe it or not, one of the bhajans started with words of the same sloka. My Thursday started with a blessing by Sai Baba.
 
Sai Baba has helped me a lot in life,since I am unemployed and outside home at this time, when my laptop broke, I was devastated. It would have cost a lot of money to get it repaired and I did not want to take money from my father as he is in financial stress himself. Then Baba came and helped me out by finding a way to get it repaired at very low cost. I just pray to Sai to help me get a good job-one which will pay a good salary and which I will be happy doing very soon. May all the tensions and problems that my family has been facing for years go away and happiness fill its place. May all my prayers come true. OM SAI RAM

Jai Sai Ram to all the Sai devotees.. Though I have been reading Baba's miracles posted in this forum for almost 2 months but joined ysterday. Actually I came across this forum while doing a random online search about Baba's miracles. I have been facing some trouble in my life for 3 months and was really upset initially. But after going through so many experinces of the Sai devotees, I'm feeling better. My problem is still there as it was but this forum has given me strength to face it and increased my faith on Baba tremendously. I'm now keeping patience hoping Baba will listen to my prayers when the right time comes. This is why Sai brought me to this forum. OM SAI RAM..

After 2 years of waiting and praying to be called to Shirdi by Baba, this year in July we went. The entire journey was comfortable and the darshan was more than fulfilling.. Thank You so much Baba! We were in Shirdi for 2 days.. The first day, when we went for darshan, Baba's dress was the same colour combination as mine.. I always wanted to see Baba in a light blue colour dress in Shirdi, not in photos.. That happened on the 2nd day.. Baba looked beautiful in blue and pink!! That was when we went for the morning darshan.. At the same time, my sister wanted to see Baba in orange, when we went for the afternoon darshan.. Baba was in orange.. Trivial things but we were very very happy and thrilled :) Baba listens to us always.. Baba keep blessing us all always.. Please take care of all us and never leave us alone..

I am not alone-Baba is with Me   ;D


It was during November 1997. My wife and myself went to our daughter's home in the United States. I am a
diabetic patient and I also had an attack of severe bronchitis before we left India. The doctors here had
prescribed medication to be taken during our stay in the US.

We reached US on schedule and continued to stay with our daughter comfortably. As per our routine, we used to
worship our beloved deity Sri Sainath by chanting the usual prayers everyday. We had planned our sojourn for
three months. On the thirtieth day after our arrival in US, I suddenly had severe cramps in the chest. I could not
bear the pain or breath. I lied down wherever I was. We were alone in the house with the infant kids of our
daughter, as our daughter and son-in-law had left for their work. I was alone in the drawing room when I had
these cramps. I somehow beckoned my wife who was in the kitchen. She was shocked when she saw my plight
and immediately phoned my daughter at the office. It was snowing at the time and there was eighteen inches of
snow on the road and approach to our home. Temperature outside was below zero. On hearing about my
condition at home one of her senior colleague helped her drive through the snow and they rushed to the house
within fifteen minutes.


When my daughter saw my distressed state, she did not waste time pondering. She called the emergency service
and explained to them of our predicament. Within ten minutes, the emergency squad arrived at our place fully
equipped. There were two doctors too in the squad. They checked my condition, took ECG on the spot and
decided that it was a stroke and that I have to be immediately admitted to a hospital having facility to perform a
heart surgery. There were two hospitals nearby who could perform the surgery. As it was heavily snowing,
most  of the roads were blocked. I was physically immobile but I was in senses. I pleaded that "I need not be taken to
any hospital and I will be all right soon and that I can get necessary medical aid in India." The emergency squad
insisted that I should be taken to the hospital and specialist doctors will decide the future course. They asked for
our preference of hospital, and my son-in-law suggested a name known to him, where there was a specialist
Indian doctor attached to them. They then put me on the stretcher and we waded through snow on the way to the
hospital.


Within 30 minutes we reached the place. On arrival, the staff took me to the emergency cell. I distinctly
remember that, lying on the stretcher on way to emergency room, I was continuously chanting and remembering
Lord Sainath's name. Silently chanting his name I may have lapsed into an unconscious state. Within an hour I
understand that they conducted various tests including catheterization. The tests suggested that there were four
blocks in the arteries. A conference was held among various doctors and surgeons and it was decided that an
open-heart bypass surgery has to be conducted without delay.

Hospital authorities summoned the anesthetist and within two hours of arriving at the hospital the surgery was
commenced. I was not aware of anything that was being performed on my physical body. I was gleefully
wandering somewhere in the most pleasant gardens and lawns in a serene atmosphere. I was aware that 'I' was
not alone and Lord Sainath was with me'.

It nearly took five hours for the surgeon and his assistants, to complete the task of cutting the veins from my
calves and thighs and plant them firmly in place in the arteries. The operation was successful. Probably it took
another six hours for me to regain my consciousness. My wife, it seems was continuously praying Baba for the
success of the surgery and for my speedy recovery. Her prayers were answered. She was there to give me an
assuring smile although in tears of joy.

I came to senses all right! But I was trying to find me! I was neither there nor here! It took me some time. May
be a minute or two, I am not sure! Suddenly I realized that I was with Baba, and I was walking down from the
inside of his heart back to my bed. I was in a state of confusion! I did not for a moment understand why I had to
leave Baba and that beautiful garden and walk down to this miserable place. I started looking for him. I could
not find! Then after some time, I concluded that he had walked along with me and may have entered my heart!
Yes, He is still there! Always there! I am not sure when I will have another opportunity roaming those gardens
with Him! Why should I worry? Let Him decide.

One thing that has entered my heart now after the surgery is not the new veins 'but that' I am not alone and Baba
is always with me! He loves, provides and protects.

"I am not alone, Baba is with me" is not an exclusive privilege of mine. It is a fact decreed for every Sai
devotee. We have to be aware of His presence. He is with us hearing and looking at everything we say and do.
He is witnessing our every speech and actions. The moment the awareness of his continuous presence is felt, we
get transformed. The thoughts, which are the cause of our speech and actions, will naturally get oriented to
speak and do things, which have His approval. Our ego the 'I' will get a knock and a slap. Our speech will get
changed to be very courteous and polite. We start appreciating others. We will start saying "Oh! You have done
a great job". This is because we also feel the Lord's presence in the person, whom we are addressing. We shall
start saying, "I admit I was wrong". I know how difficult it is to admit our inadequacies. But with the awareness
of his presence in us it is easy. The 'I' becomes a non-entity. When the 'I' gives room for 'We' the life turns out to
be a happy passing phase.

One more thing we normally say, "I did this, I said this, I did that, I said that" etc. We should make it a habit to
say, "Let us do this, let us do that" etc. Let us include Him also in whatever we say or do. I am a non-entity
without Him. It is He who does everything and we are only His instruments.
The eight words "I am not alone, Baba is with me" is a mantra that we have to repeat daily and at all times and
feel His presence with us!

1: How Baba entered our life.  



I am Deepa and married since 2006. I live in Chennai, I am very lucky to be close with Baba in these many years. I stay very close to Mylapore Shirdi Baba temple. I will narrate you how baba came to our life. I did not know baba till 2005, at that time i was staying in Bangalore and had visited Ulsoor baba temple with my relatives. I was staying in my cousin's house and my relative from mumbai bought a book on Shirdi Baba which inspired me to buy the book and start reading. Once I started reading the book, baba's blessing also came to me in abundance. I got married in 2006 in Chennai which was the grace of Shirdi Baba. We met each other after seeing Shirdi Baba so i consider my husband as my gift from my Sai nath. Since marriage, I changed my house 2 times. I used to tell baba that please help me find a good house near your temple in mylapore and finally after Shradha and Saburi he gave me house just 10 min walk from Shirdi Baba temple mylapore. I visit Baba temple on all Thursdays.  


 How Baba helped me in getting Job.

Due to recession I lost my job in 2009 February. Since then till 2010 April I was at home. But I consider that phase very lucky as I could get more and more close with my Sai nath. He was the one who stayed with me for 14 long months. Like lord Rama spend 14 years in forest, Baba too gave me 14 months to kill the ravan inside me and move to the path of shradha and saburi. On April 16th I got a call from a consultant stating an offer with Wipro. I was initially bit reluctant to accept as it was a 1 year contract job and on payroll of the consultant. But somehow Baba gave me strength to go ahead with the offer and on April 21st I joined the company. It was because of Baba only i could take a positive decision and accept the offer. Once I accepted the offer Baba showered his choicest blessings on me and everything, including salary which I never expected came to me. I got more than what i quoted and I am happily living.
Let me say once you have surrendered in his feet, he will be with us day and night. Sai nath Please bless everyone who believes in you and has shradhha and saburi in you.

Hi Everyone,

Sairam sada hamari raksha karna.
I was thinking to post my experiences from long time, but it never happened.
It is happened now.
Ten years ago I was a person with very regular feelings towards GOD. Regular feelings means if we go to temple we need to do pooja and pranam to God etc... . My family was happy family. I got married and came to USA , after 6 months I got a midnight phone calls stated My mother is severe sick. I was confused my mom was all good all of sudden what is this? I rushed to India by the time i reached India my mom was no more. Our family was in shock, my mother is 40 year old, and left her 4 children lives in troubles and shock. I am the elder one; my younger sister just finished her 10th standard. I didn't have any maturity to settle down any body not even me. I came back to USA after 2 months. My father had never taken care of anything other than his job when mother was there. He use to provide money,my mother took care of all four girls education and all other matters.
My sisters were left all alone in big huge problems hell.  I didn't recover from that incident at all after that. My elder sister got married and came to USA. After I came back from India I felt like my mom will be with me soon, and I got pregnancy, and delivered a baby girl. After delivery I experienced lot of family issues, so to settle down I went to my sister's place to come out of it and to get some more energy to fight with.  When I was with my sister first time we got Sai sachharitra book. We completed it in a week. We used to cry when we read sai leela's .After that I felt saibaba is someone whom I am waiting for. I got a small version of sai charitra parayanam, and started reading it frequently when i ever I have a desire. Now I think I didn't recognize my sai completely even that time . Later on we three sisters gone through big load of problems, suddenly my father got married to someone by listening to persons who never wished well for our family. My two younger sisters faced many problems in India and we two here in USA. We cried, wiped our tears, and did fight with enormous problems with no hope and real happiness around us. Other than that I also went thru troubles in my life with high risk pregnancies and surgeries with no help from elders. I never left doing parayanam's but one day in temple somebody gave me 9 Thursday vrat book and told me to do it. I started on 9 Thursdays vrat , when I was doing that everyday I used to get some new issue to worry for , my husband and children left for India due to economy fall. I was with no job started living at my sister's place, after completing 9 thrusday's vrat , after a month or so i got a job in two places, i was not sure which one to choose why becoz both are new places to me and my car was'nt with me. I asked baba to help me to choose right place and by writing on some slips and picking. I asked baba to help me and be with me. He helped me at every step after that. When I reached my accommodation where I got job, I was completely surprised, when I entered in to apartment I saw saibaba everywhere; I saw  Pooja room filled with full of baba's photos. My eyes filled with water, and I was shivering. I loved that place, all my room mates are sai bhakt, and we used to start and end our day with sai, reading sai sachharitra together, praying, making  prasadams and distributing, listen to sai bhajanas, felt like I lived in a mandir.
it's not like after that i never faced any problems, I am still going thru many problems, but I clearly feel like baba is with me in my problems and helping me to overcome those; and helping me to make my character better  and better by giving real lessons. . From last few days my daughters were severe sick so I told baba I will write some of my experiences after they become well. I will continue doing this now on.
All of my sisters are sai devotees , fighting with life with sai's help .
Mom,
you must have sent my fairy God sai in to my life. Thanks amma. Twameva matha pitha twameva , twameva vidhya dravinam twameva twameva sarvam mama deva deva.

Sairam mytest,
I have read through all your problems here and your experiences. For sure i can say is tht Sai is testing your faith adn patience in him and also that he is always with you all the time guiding and protecting you. But i would liks to ask one question, have you ever heard about thr Shibpur Sai temple? Please read about this temple in Shibpur, west bengal , here is the link -
http://forum.spiritualindia.org/shibpur-sai-baba-temple-t35039.0.html

This is the place where you can find so many miracles hapenning and if you are blessed by baba i am sure Sai will help you from this place as this is the place where he is residing now to help all his devotees... this is no blind faith or any mouth word. You wil realize its power once you speak to Amit Biswas who is trying to build a temple of Baba there and only based on the orders of Shri Sai. Please dont forget to see that link. I am very sure Baba is willling to help you through.

Sairam Take care... !

I also have an experience to share.
Some months ago when I got a job in a PSU I just started doing "Siddhamangal Strota" in front of BABA'S photo for 40 days.In the meanwhile I was called for the training for 2.5 months which was to be held in Bhubaneswar and thereafter I had to join in the North East region of India which under Indian govt services is a hard tenure area.I was very skeptical about joining in the nort east but everybody in my home said that I would soon be back to my place.Still in my heart I was nervous and on the day I had to leave for Bhubneswar I said my daily Strota and my eyes became wet while I silently prayed to BABA to bring me back to my place.
I was there at the railway station sitting in my seat when from nowhere HE came ,dressed exactly like BABA,asking me for some dakshina,and when I kept the dakshina on the plate he held ,i saw BABA's photo there.HE took it from me and just went away without asking anybody else.Until now I wasnt able to comprehend what was happening I could only understand that somebody had come to ask for some money.Then I had to change my seat again,and as soon as I changed my seat HE was there again asking from me but then I told HIM that I had already given HIM dakshina and HE went away smiling.It was only a day after that I realised that it was BABA HIMSELF who had come to bless me and calm me and make me feel that every thing will be well.BUt I still regret of refusing HIM the next time.I know in my heart that our SAI is great and HE will forgive me for my mistake.

Dear Saianjali,

OM SAI RAM...

The same thing happened to me 2 weeks on Thursday and many months back. 2 weeks back I was thinking how my life has sunk to new lows with trobules coming in from everywhere and I was asking Baba why why me again and again. I was in my office and working when suddenly a lady came into the office - our office is small not the huge offices that MNC'S build to prison people - but a small one where anyone can enter. This old lady maybe of 60 yrs old suddenly entered and started to say something of how things are bad with her - no one as her relations are all dead and her husband also. I generally never give in to such sad sob stories thinking these are all lies to get money - but that day I was in a bad frame of mind with my ownlife sinking low...so I saw here was a woman with no one and crying - it was sad and I gave her some money. AND just before she leaves the door she sayS thx and praises in SAI BABA's name saying JAI SAI BABA....

Baba always moves in mysterious ways among his devotees...to let us know that we are never alone and that never our trobules can be anything we cannot bear. Everyone who has taken birth - even if he is a king - will undergo life's up and down - it is only those who remember BABA ( everyday in the UP and Down of life ) then the life becomes very easy and sweet. BABA will always perform these miracles and smile on his loved devotees. I love my BABA so much....

My wife, me and my son follow Shree Sai Guru. Recently I had to change my job for career reasons. Since we are in Kuwait, it is not possible to switch jobs without 3 years or a special recommendation from the ministry. I was waiting for almost 2 weeks jobless and the visa transfer office were to go for annual closing for about 2 weeks. This means I will not be able to join for another 2+ weeks. I was really concerned.

My company's CMD sent a request for the recommendataion from ministry. But it did not move for along. But we worshipped Sai and wished that He will make a miracle. To our surprise, on Thursday we received the reco letter as well as the transfer on the same day. I narrowly escaped the annual closing period and was able to join in time, with min, losses.

my wife was actually doing Baba pooja for many weeks and wanted to complete it to Thank him. When she did that she gave Prasad to all our neighbours, but was wanting to give some poor person. To here surprise, the dhobi who generally comes in the evenings of weekend came in the midday of a midweek (with a bag on his shoulder, resembling Sai). He took the prasad and thanked her verymuch. we feel that it was Shree Sai who came to acknowledge our pooja in the form of Dhobi.

Sai Ram !!!

I'm a regular visiter of this site. But I haven't posted anything yet. This is the first time I'm posting my wonderful experience with our Dear Sai.

Many days I have asked Baba, "Baba why are you not coming in my dreams and why are you not talking to me, Pl listen to my prayers Baba". 15th January,2011 is a memorable day in my life . My sweet Sai Baba gave his dharshan in my dreams (It is pongal festival too).   I was full of happiness and I had no words. I felt so divine. Baba has come in my dreams and gave his dharshan. I went straight to my mom and with full of bliss explained my dream.

My dream as follows, "I was standing in front of a  gate(the gate was chequered). Inside there was a small Sai Baba and another Goddess(i guess its Amman) statue. I was praying with my hands joined. Suddenly both the God's opened their eyes. I felt astonished and was tryin to see the Gods but I could not see clearly through the chequered gate. So I bend down and I got clear vision of the Gods. Then I prayed(said all my worries) to Baba and Amman with my hands joined. Baba and Amman were nodding theirs heads with their eyes open and with a smile in their face, as I was praying......... That was really splendid dream which i got. It is still in my eyes. I felt so heavenly. After the dream I slept, and in the morning I remembered the dream I was going on chanting Sai Sai Sai.......

I'm sooooooooooooooo happy that Baba has come in my dreams and I understood clearly that Baba hears my prayers. I could feel Baba within me. Baba is there for me........

Om sai ram.....
Sai sai sai sai sai sai..........

Sairam, please follow the guidelines here -

When you see the shidi-sai-baba.com webpage opened, you can see the Baba's photo standing there and below that you see the text box. what ever question you have, you need to write your questions in this text box, pray to baba or look at Baba in that photo for few seconds/ minute and click "Sai Baba please answer" button. You will see the answer in the box where you have Shri Ganeshji's photo.

Hope this is clear now.

Aaj main aap sabhi ke saath mera ek experience share kar rahi hoon..baba meri life may aaj se 3 saal pehle aaye thei..mere ghar ke mandir may baba ka jo idol rakha hai woh mere husband ne mujhe diya tha 3 saal pehle..maine unse ye expect nahi kiya tha ki woh kabhi mujhe sai baba ka idol denge..ye sai baba ki hi kripa thi ki woh mere liye sai baba ka idol lekar aaye, main bahut khush thi unke aisa karne se, maine woh idol apne room may rakha aur  hamesha baba ke aage diya jalaya karti thi.. kuch time ke baad hi mere life may bahut problems aayi mere husband ki wajah se woh mujhe kai saalo se cheat kar rahe thei, aur aise hi ek baat unke baare may thi woh mere samne aayi aur main baba ke saamne bahut royi..pure din khana bhi nahi khaya aur khali pet hi so gayi tabhi baba aaye, pata nahi woh sapna tha ya sach may baba aaye thei, mujhe theek se yaad nahi hai..baba ke woh darshan main kabhi nahi bhool sakti..main apne bed par leti thi aur ro rahi thi baba mere sirhaane aakar baithe aur mere sar par apna haath fer rahe thi bahut der tak woh mere sar par haath ferate rahe ...kuch bole nahi bas mujhe dekhate rahe..mujhe bahut shanti mil rahi thi..phri thodi der ke baad unhone mujhe apple khaat kar khilaye aur paani pilaya apne haatho se..phri woh mere sar par haath ferate rahe aur ekdum shant the bole kuch bhi nahi mujhse ..bas aise hi chalta raha..mujhe aaj tak ye samjh may nahi aaya ki woh sapna tha ya sach may baba aaye thei mere paas...aaj bhi jab main apne bed par soti hoon to hamesha mujhe yahi lagta hai ki baba mere sirhaane hi baithe hai aur mere sar par haath fer rahe hain.

aaj meri life may bahut problems hain, pata nahi mera aur mere bachcho ka future kya hoga...baba aapka woh idol mujhe mere husband de diya tha  jab woh mujhe ye idol de rahe the tab hum dono ke haatho ke beech may aap thei..aap hamare beech ki kadi hain hame jodane wale hain phir bhi hamara ye bandhan kamjoor kyun pada gaya baba..jiske beech ki kadi khud bhagwan hai waha to bandhan aur majboot hona chahiye....shayad ye mere hi bure karmo ka fal hai jo main bhugat rahi hoon..aaj mere husband mujhe apne saath aapke mandir bhi nahi lekar jaate..main hamesha aapse pray karti hoon ki aap mujhe mere husband ke saath apne mandir may bulao..woh din kab aayega baba? jab main unke saath aapke darshan karungi.

BABA SHOWED ME THAT HE EXISTS

When I was a child I was very interested in anything to do with prayer, stories, movies about God, meditation etc. But sometime later I lost faith - Initially I thought If I asked God to do something for me and promising to do something in return is a kind of bribe to God. It never occurred to me that we can ask God for something without taking any vow. so I stopped asking God for anything. I rarely prayed and used to do or participate in Pooja only for others sake. Some bad experiences in life completely made me loose faith.

At that point in time, I had a room partner who was very religious and going through a severe problem. She had a book about sai baba. I liked reading stories, so I started reading that book and somehow I was very sincere in reading that book. I sat properly and only when I was clean etc. One day, I met a woman who told me looking at me significantly that "Faith is life". That day I prayed to Baba that If you really exist come in my dream. He didnt come and I left it at that. My friends problem didnt get solved even after many vows and severe vrats and I rarely thought about God.

After almost five years, my marriage was fixed. The day before my engagement I discovered that the guy has lied about his job and studies and I couldn't do anything then and even after engagement also I had a hard time convincing my parents that the boys side people have lied. At last my parents believed me and told me that not having a proper job is not that important, all reports say that he is a good person so you can adjust about the job, but they gave me an option to decide for myself before a certain date. They arranged for a homa at our native place before that date. The day I was leaving for pooja, I was very much upset and at that time my eyes fell on Sai baba photo which I had bought for a friend when I visited Shirdi, but somehow I kept postponed to give it. In despair, I prayed to Baba to advice me on what to do by next day morning before the homa was finished. I was upset the whole day and in the evening when we entered the bus stand, I was thinking like "Does Baba exist or I am just mad?" and directly before me I saw a huge photo of Baba, we got into the bus and before my seat there was a photo of Baba along with the words "Why fear when I am here", we went to stay at a relative's house that night and I saw that they were ardent devotees of Baba and his picture was in every room of their house. The next day we went to the temple for the homa and I saw that there was a very small statue of Baba under the tree just before the place where I was performing the pooja. Pooja got over, we returned home that evening and I was thinking - I was foolish to expect a sign - and the next moment I had a call from my sister-in-law, she had an accident at exactly the same time of the pooja and she escaped death narrowly and instead she had collar bone fracture, her 2 wheeler was completely damaged. I put the phone down and next to it I saw a key chain with Baba's picture which I had never noticed before. Imagine my surprise! because I prayed to Baba that you can harm anyone in their family if they are of bad sort but leave her because she seemed to be good, and he saved her. All these might be coincidences, but all of them happening at the same time and in sequence was too much and I had to accept that Baba very much exists and he is listening to us.

I went ahead with the marriage praying to Baba that you showed that you exist so take care of me. We got separated after 2 months of marriage, our families are not compatible with each other and consequently it led to separation even when we were trying to adjsut to each other. One night after a month of seperation, I was scolding my husband and his family in my dream and suddenly I saw a big picture of Baba before my eyes - I was afraid to look at Baba when he came out of the picture - He was so bright and I saw only his feet and I fell on his feet. I got up with that dream. I do not know the meaning of that dream, but I take it that I should stop blaming my husband and in-laws. I try very hard not to blame. But its been many months and I am afraid I loose all hopes of a solution. A few days ago I realised that this incident in my life has brought me closer to Baba and whatever he has in mind for me I dont know but I am trying hard to accept. I had many such experiences during the past few months. I always believed that God helps those who help themselves and in this situation I do not know what I should do and I pray to Baba to show me a path, the path is not seen but now I believe that may be sometimes we have to accept what comes to us in our lives and leave all our burdens on Baba.

SAIBABA'S KRIPA
   ;D


In year 2008, It was going all great for me and my family. We had bought a house, I had a job, my husband had a job and kids were also doing alright. Probably that was the reason that (I think) I had become proudy. I was doing prayers every day but I think I had in my mind that now every thing is good and nothing can go wrong. Baba I am really sorry for that attitude that I had. Please forgive me for all the mistakes that I did. Please keep me under your blessings always.

In the first few days of September 2008, I had an accident. By Baba's grace I was not hurt but on doctor's advise I had to undergo Physiotherapy. because of this, I had to take little more than a week's off from my work. This was covered under work cover. A night before the day I had to join my office back, I had this shock of my life. My dearest son had a seizure... at first I didn't realise what has happened. I was so panicked I had my younger one with me and my husband was also not at home.

Frantically I called up the ambulance but whatever they were saying I failed to understand. I called up my husband screaming loudly that something had happened to our son. He ran from where he was. In the meanwhile, he called up some friends who were living nearby reach and help me immediately. I also called up another friend who were very close family friend but were living away. These nearby friends reached in minutes and they started calling the ambulance and coordinating with them. In the meanwhile my neighbours came out to help and console. In all this episode I forgot totally about GOD. Then I remembered watching "Sai Baba" serial on star plus. I remembered that I had some udi in my home temple. I ran inside the house and shouted for Sai Baba. I screamed "Sai Baba please help" and had applied udi on my son's forehead...there he goes...as soon as I applied udi...he vomited out and his hand and legs started moving...I Thanked HIM for coming for my rescue...and then ambulance came and we had gone to the hospital.

This made me realise that I was going wrong and because of my attitude and thoughts my family was in trouble. But now I am in his refuge. I know he will take me out of all the troubles.

I have many more experiences to share which has made me a firm follower of HIM. He is my baba and our baba. He is very kind if he can forgive me he can forgive all.

                                         JAI SAI RAM

MIRACLES OF SAI VRAT AND SAI AMRITVANI


I would like to share with all of you miracles of Shri Sai Nauv Guruwar vrath and Sai Amritvani. Last year, I have shared my experience of how my family was in deep financial and family stress. We live in US and my husband had the habit of gambling and had become addicted to it. Due to this, we have lost our savings and fallen into deep debts. He promised to give up this habit several times but he just couldn't do it. Last year, he has attempted to take his life in a hope to end this problem so he doesn't cause the family any more stress. Amidst all this, due to recession, my job wasn't going that great and my boss has asked me to join full-time as the company is getting rid of consultants as part of cost-cutting. I couldn't do that as my green card was still in process and I would have to start over again if I join full-time and also the salary wouldn't be sufficient to maintain the family. So I was literally on the verge of losing my husband, job, house and savings. One friend that knew this situation has started asking us to return his money soon (even though they had plenty of money left in savings) instead of helping us and giving us assurance and support that was much needed. He stopped being friendly and spread the rumors that we were going back to India and he would have to lose the money that he lent us. So I didn't share my pain and grief with anyone else. I was left with 2 little kids and no support and with loads of debt and crisis in all the aspects of my life. Before all this had happened, I had everything - a wonderful family, job, money and I seemed to have lost everything one by one with no fault of mine. I have been worshiping Sai BABA on and off for about 14 years. My green card was not getting done and I stopped worshiping BABA when all the things started going wrong because I was angry and upset.

Then one day I realized that no one will come to your rescue other than GOD. I started worshiping BABA very sincerely from June of last year and started reading about his leelas online. That's when I stumbled upon this wonderful site (that I visit everyday in the morning) and also Veena Maa's wonderful Sai AmritVani recitation. I started doing Sai Nauv Guruwar vrath for my job and Sai made sure that the client continued me as a consultant with no issues. So that issue was solved by him. Also, I prayed to him so my husband becomes normal and responsible. He has left the gambling habit now and is doing his work sincerely. I needed to my get green card and my house was on the verge of foreclosure since we missed couple of payments. I have tried for green card for 3 times before and everytime it has failed due to issues related to employers. This time is the 4th try as my final hope and have decided to go back to India if it didn't work out this time. So we have applied for both green card and house loan and I have started the vrath and Sai AmritVani and today I got both my green card and house loan approval with no issues or delays.

My husband has started looking for a job along with the business he maintains and we still have debts to clear but things have taken a 180 degrees turn compared to last year (for good this time). I realize that whatever I have today is due to his GRACE and BLESSINGS and nothing else. Earlier I used to think that whatever I have is due to my hard work and had an ego about it but now I realize that no matter how much you try, nothing will happen without his GRACE. I feel more content and happy now and pray to him that I remain at his feet and be humble forever. Also, one more thing I learned is, it is prosperity that brings friends but it is adversity that proves them. I went through some bitter experiences last year and I do not hold anything against anyone, just that our beloved Sai blesses them with good mind and thoughtful nature.

Miracle
 



Those 20 Minutes :

With Baba in our lives, there is no dearth of experiences. Every moment of our lives is full of experiences which Baba use to educate us. I would like to share one particular incident that happened not so long ago.

My husband and our daughter where watching a movie on Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi and I was in the kitchen preparing dinner for some guests who were coming over that evening. Our son was in his room playing.

Our daughter was not too well since morning that day. She was running some slight fever. While sitting in papa's lap she was saying "Sai Baba Bolo...Sai Baba Bolo" and all of a sudden she had a stroke of Seizure and fell unconscious.

My husband who was totally perplexed of what had happened called her name and started slapping her to bring her in consciousness. I heard my husband shouting and calling her name. I rushed to the living room and immediately picked her up and took her to the bathroom to splash some water on her.

She did not respond at all during this time and her eyes where rolling back. Meanwhile my husband called 911 for emergency. No body picked up and we rushed out locking as it is. Our friends who stay near by also were called and we left in our car.

While we had not been far off we received a call on our mobile from our friend that we need to be back home as the police and Para-medics have reached our place (they had traced our address from our number).

Para Medics gave some immediate shots and spent considerable time reviving her back to consciousness. This whole process took some 20 minutes. She started responding and was rushed to emergency where rest of the tests were performed. Nothing was diagnosed and was discharged the same night.

She was fine next morning with no traces of ever gone away from us for "those 20 min". Those 20 minutes taught us one thing that there is nothing more precious in life than our loved ones. All laurels, money and other things have no bearing in life, there is only one savior that is "His Name".

Had she been sleeping alone in the room...we would not have even come to know and can't imagine what could have happened. But Baba is always protecting His children all the time.

Why fear...when He is near.

साई राम

सभी साई अनुयाईओ  को मेरा नमस्कार  .मै  आज  मेरा और मेरी पत्नी का एक  सुखद अनुभव और कार्य आप सभी के  साथ  बटना चाहता हु  .

विषय :   श्री  साईं  सत्चरित  का  एक  दिवसीय  पाठ.
उद्देश  :    बाबा के  अनमोल  वचनों   और  विचारो  को  घर  घर  तक  पहुचाना  जिससे  सच्चे अर्थो मे सभी बाबा के द्वारा दी गई
                शिक्षाओ का आपने जीवनकाल  मे अनुसरण कर सके.

              आजसे चार साल पहले बाबा की बहुत बड़ी अनुकम्पा मेरे और मेरी पत्नी पर हुई  .उनकी प्रेणना और दया से और सभी के सहयोग से मेने
              बाबा का एक छोटा सा मंदिर का निर्माण करवाया . आज मंदिर मे बाबा के चरो पहर की आरती एवंग सभी कार्यक्रम सहज रीती-रिवाज से
              मनाया जाता है . 14th April बाबा का स्थापना दिवस बड़े ही हर्षोउल्लास से मनाया जाता है .

              इस साल 14th April के कुछ दिन पहले मेरी पत्नी के अच्चानक ये विचार आया की क्यों न इस दिन  श्री रामायण पाठ की तरह श्री साईं                  सत्चरित का भी  एक दिवसीय पाठ  उसी तरह से रख्खा  जाये. विचार सम्पूर्ण रूप से नया था और पहली बार क्रियानिवित होने जा हा था                 इसलिए वो बहुत ही चिंतित और आशंकित थी . श्री साईं सत्चरित का साप्ताहिक पाठ विदित काफी बरसो से चला आ रहा है . क्या  एक                दिवसीय पाठ करना उचित भी होगा या नहीं.? क्या कोई भूल चुक तो नहीं हो जाएगी ? ऐसे विचारो से मेरी पत्नी बुरी तरह से ससंकित थी .

             ये विचार जब बाबा ने ही मन मे उदित किये है तो इसका सुभारम्भ  और समापन भी श्री साईनाथ ही करेगे, ऐसा विचार कर पत्नी ने सुबह                  8 बजे से 14th April स्थापना दिवस के दिन श्री साईं सत्चरित का पाठ मंदिर मे आरम्भ कर दिया . जैसे श्री रामायण का पाठ की विधि
            और विधान है उसी समरूप इस पाठ की  भी विधि  और विधान है. बाबा के सम्मुख फल-फूल नेवेद इत्यादि रखकर मुख्य  पीडी पर एक
            भक्त श्री साईं सत्चरित का पाठ कर्ता रहता है और समान्तर अन्य भक्तजन भी श्री साईं सत्चरित पाठ कर सकते  है .मुख्य पीडी पर थोड़े 
            थोड़े  अंतराल पे भक्त बदलते जाते है और इस तरह सम्पूर्ण श्री साईं सत्चरित का पाठ समाप्त हो जाता है.

            शुरुआत मे मेरी पत्नी पढ़ती रही और साथ मे मंदिर के पंडितजी का भी बहुत बड़ा योगदान  रहा . धीरे-धीरे भक्तजन आते गए .पहले उन्हें
            बड़ा  ही आजीब सा  महसूस हुआ पर जब इसको करने का उदेश और इसके महत्त्व का आभास हुआ तो फिर ताता सा ही लग गया पाठ
            पढने का संध्या  आरती के कुछ समय पूर्व ही सम्पूर्ण पाठ का समापन हुआ और फल-फूल,नेवेद से बाबा की आरती हुई .
            मेरी पत्नी को सदा ऐसा ही महसूस होता रहा की बाबा स्वयम शुरू  से अंत तक वहा  पर विराजमान होकर कार्य का समापन करवा रहे है .

           आज उसके बाद से मंदिर मे और भक्तो ने आपने -अपने घरो मे श्री साईं सत्चरित का एक दिवसीय पाठ  करना शुरू  कर दिया है.
           मुझे और मेरी पत्नी को एक बार फिर बाबा ने इस कार्य के  लिए काबिल समझा इसके लिए हमलोग सदा ही बाबा के ऋणी है और
          यही बाबा से प्राथना करते है की सदा ही बाबा अपनी अनुकम्पा हमपे और सभी पे बनाये रखे

          सम्पूर्ण कार्य के कर्ता श्री साईनाथ महाराजजी है .हमलोग तो केवल एक माध्यम मात्र है जो करम कर रहे है.

          बाबा का हमलोग कोटि-कोटि धन्यबाद करते है और प्राथन करते है की सदा ही अपने चरणों मे शरण देना .

          श्री साईनाथ महाराज की जय


                                                                "जाहे विधि राखे साईं ,ताई विधि रहिये "

om sai ram.
This happened some months back. I didn't have peace of mind. i have decided to read sai sacharitra .
on thursday i got up early around five in the morning, got ready and went to sri krishna temple which was near to the hostel i stayed.

for five days i read the sacharitra without any problem. on the sixth day , i could not get up as usual and hence could not read the sacharitra in the morning. i carried the book with me to my office thinking i shall read it in evening. while coming back from office, i visited the sai mandir near my office.
After the prayer, i started to read sai sacharitra.after i finished reading the day's parayan, the pujari came to me and asked me if i could lend him my book once am done with my parayanam. i told him i will him the next day.after i have completed my weekly parayanam, i handed over my book to him,

then the pujari started tellin me " i have had a doubt since a week. i was searching for this book but could not get it. last night baba came in my dream and told me you will get the book tomorrow"

 after listening to him , my eyes filled with tears. i didnt have intention to read sacharitra in baba temple as i was reading the book in the' krishna mandir.

After all this i felt it was baba's sankalpam that i missed reading in the morning. i bought few fruits to keep as naivedyam on the last day of parayanam. pujari took half of the prasadam. few i have distributed in the temple, still i was left with lot more fruits.

After going back to my hostel, i went to my neighbour room to distribute. there was only one hindu girl the rest were from other religions. others refused to take the prasadam at first, don know what took on their minds, they made a statement loudly" what if it is prasadam, it is just fruits for us" and they took the prasadam and within few minutes every one finished the prasadam. when i saw that all the fruits were finished i felt so happy that my parayanam went so good. i felt blessed by baba.

om sai ram.

Sai Baba Is My Life - Sai Devotee Mrudhula ;D   


(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RiKaqWAyWTk/Thuwg7W6E2I/AAAAAAAALYk/op9TgmTzRCI/s1600/sai_Jul101.jpg)


Lord Sai Baba is always with His devotees, no matter if they call Him or not, it seems it is His duty to be present with them in spirit. The below experience proves this above statement.

Sai Sister Mrudhula ji from USA says:

 I bow unto the lotus feet of Baba and thank Him for giving me this opportunity.
 
I am a great admirer of Baba and I remember praying Him since I was 10 years old. I feel that is the age when people start realizing the surroundings and able to remember the events happening in their life. I request Baba to kindly help me in putting words hereafter.

BABA, the one word, that goes in my mind each second. It gives me lot of strength to move forward in life. I am very thankful to BABA, who made all our family members His ardent devotees and whose lives has no meaning without His interference. I feel happy to share our experiences with BABA. There are a lot and I will post few of them.
 BABA's appearance in my sister's wedding in 2007:
 
My elder sister's marriage was fixed in 2007 and my father went to Shirdi to invite Baba for the marriage. The day has come and everyone was involved in the wedding bliss. There Baba comes in the form of photo to the wedding. One of our relatives who came one or two days ahead for the wedding decided to give my father a pocket size photo of Baba, on the wedding day. He told my father, “I know you are a great devotee of Baba and I would like to give this photo of Baba to you”. My dad was overwhelmed and cried seeing Baba at the wedding. This proves Baba's words that He will be there for whoever thinks of Him. He is omnipresent.
 

This is another incident in our family. In a gap of 3 months my second sister's marriage was fixed and my dad had no time to visit Shirdi and invite Baba for the marriage. He prayed whole heartedly and went to the Baba temple near our place and invited Baba. To our surprise, on the day of wedding, we had two pearl garlands given by our relatives who went to Shirdi just before the wedding and bought two pearl garlands that were kept on Baba's Samadhi. We had no clue of when they went to Shirdi nor did my dad tell them to bring the garlands. It was all Baba's wishes to the newly wed and this again shows He is always with those who remember Him. He is such a guru who relies on His devotees. Wherever there is a pure devotion, He will be there.
BABA in my life:

I should probably say 'BABA is my Life'. I feel all the Sai devotees must have known Baba since their past lives. It’s He, who pulls everyone unto Him and makes us His slaves. I have been reading Baba Satcharitra for very long time and completely lost the control over my life. I feel whatever happens in my life is due to Him, because of Him and by Him. On saying this, I am not someone who had no worries at all in life. I have seen many jerks in my life and have Baba holding my hand always, in taking me to the right direction. I personally had innumerable experiences with Baba but I would like to share one now.
 
It was April 2010, when we had Baba puja at our apartment in USA. Me and my friends decided to lit lights and read Baba's Stavana Manjari on a particular day. The moment we had the thought, Baba gave a green signal to my roommate, when she was reading the Baba Satcharitra, that night we had discussion. She came across a chapter, which mentioned about the Baba's love towards lighting. We were all happy and were making arrangements for the pooja. The night before pooja, I was tensed about the event as we invited many people. I prayed Baba before going to bed and invited Him whole heartedly to the pooja. I prayed saying “BABA, we are students. We are not aware of the pooja procedure. I am not sure of how long the candles are going to be. It is your pooja. Please come and bless us”. I then slept thinking about the event. Early morning at around 5-6 AM, I had a dream with BABA seen in clouds saying “Wake up”. I said “I want to sleep BABA”. He said “You have lot of things to do. Wake up and get ready”. I was really sleepy and didn't wake up right away. I told my dad about the dream and he replied “BABA has come to your house even before you people were up”. I still remember the dream and I bow Baba for His love and affection towards His devotees. I can't ask anything more than this. He made us His slaves. I feel that praying is not enough. Complete surrender is what one must do to attain the attachment with Baba.

I sincerely request Baba to shower His blessings on His devotees.

Hi all,

    This will be my first post, as I just joined the forum.

          I have been trying to join the forum from a long time, but something or the other would happen.
   Like once I was registering through my phone and I was interrupted by a call
   and after few days I remembered again and then I was registering through my phone again , halfway through the battery went dead. Then I forgot to register.
    Later, I was successful in registering using the computer and then when I checked my e-mails for activation link. The email was no there(but it was in spam).
    The activation link was showing error.
     I somehow succeeded in the activation link part, but was not successful in logging in. I was getting errors like...check for the cookies and stuff. I used the help part in the forum and there was not much written on that stuff.

     It was like, I was being stopped from entering this forum.

     Later I realised, the wesite says this is Dwarakamai. You need baba's permission to go to shirdi. likewise this is virtual Shirdi and I need baba's permission. So for a minute, I looked at baba's pic and asked him to allow me to join this forum....VOILA!!!!....I had no problems.

My experience are of three types--

Career, Marriage and Health.

Marriage- Married for 15 years, never had marital harmony, no love or peace in life. Eversince I came to baba's sharn-

-Some kind of switch baba turned on.

Marital life normalized filled with bliss of love, understanding and care.

Health--I had severe claustrophobiacould not travel in metro trains, go to basement or even sleep in the corner of

bed. I badly used to get breathless if I was put in any enclosed space. Without treatment after suffering so many

years it corrected by baba. Now I am normal. Career--I have been struggling for 3 years to establish my career in

medicine. Being a Dermatologist from India, in the USA I have been jobless for 3 years. After coming to baba I got a

job and things are turning positive towards my residency in the USA.


All this is because of Baba's kripa. Trust him and the prayers are answered. It is so true.

DIPIKA VASWANI

Dear Blessed Sai Devotees,

Om Sai Ram! I wanted to share my experience with all Sai bhakts to give strength and faith to all who may be feeling down or without hope. I was feeling sudden chest pain and did not know what to think. I’m pretty fit, play sports and try to remain active… but one evening I felt a poking feeling and sudden little bursts of pain in my chest area. I waited an extra day and I still kept feeling it on and off. I went to the ER for precautionary reasons and they ran tests and everything came out normal. I went for my stress test as well and passed that too. But still the pain was there. A couple of nights I felt my upper back hurt, my chest hurt and felt a little nauseated too. I had my condition checked by a cardiologist who made me take a few tests, and still he said it showed results that were nothing to be scared of. After a week or so of no pain, again it started. Somehow I kept feeling no matter what the doctor’s say, that this wasn’t right. I was really scared and my mind became my enemy. I had horrible thoughts of leaving my wife and 4 year old boy all alone in this world. I prayed so hard to Baba for help. I read the Sai Satcharitra, prayed, visited Baba’s mandir remembering his line that whoever steps into Dwarkamai, their sorrows will be gone. I cried a lot during this time. At the mandir, there was a table of puja books, bhajans, and mantras literature… but in the middle of everything I found one copy of the Sai Vrat. I decided to do the Sai Vrat puja and fast for 9 Thursdays. I prayed and looked forward to this puja every week. Somehow I strengthened each Thursday and felt Baba was with me, and slowly gained confidence that I would be alright and Baba would take care of me. Baba is my life. I have nothing without him. I am nothing without him. My pain was there on and off for over 2 months. After my Vrat was over, I have not felt anything for over 2 months now. This is all Baba’s miracle to me. I can’t imagine leaving my wife and son. I also promised Baba, that I would write my experience and try to help whoever may read this, and give them strength in surrendering themselves to the Love of Baba. I can’t say enough how Sai Baba helped me. I felt alone and helpless. But I prayed so hard to Baba, fought off tears, and tried my best to follow Baba’s teachings and love. He’s my savior. I only see it that way…. I love you Sai Baba! And Please always be with me… A million lifetimes of Thank You’s are not enough… God Bless! Shri Satchinanand Sadguru Sai Nath Maharaj Ki Jai! Jai Sai Nath!

In my house we read Sree Sai Satcharita paryana every day since last 18 months.

September 2007, I started Sri Sai Satcharitra with one wish with a good intension to get good alliance for my sister in during this parayana completes; due to next coming days are not good days. We are searching for alliance since last couple months but nothing happened due to so many reasons. When I decide & started this time parayana, on 6Th day present bava & their family came to see my sister & they told us they liked every thing, we also agreed every thing on 7th day of Parayana. I strongly believe in one thing how strongly you pray& stick on you will get that fruit for sure.

Trust me it happened in seven days.

Another thing I went to give my sister first wedding card to SaiBaba Temple in Bhagya Nagar, Karimnagar, AP to invite him, I prayed to come & bless the wedding couple, I want see him in different (not as known photo or some photo which I seen earlier). Trust me I saw SaiBaba in different way in a cell phone which was so impressive to me. That also happened after 2 hours wedding. I still accept as true that Baba is in our hearts.

After wedding we all went to Shirdi, we all reached temple, I went to keep foot wear, some how I missed all of them @ 11:30 AM, I thought they are in Q for Dharshan then I went to Q line standing, at 11.45 AM my brother in law gave announcement from temple that they are still did not form the Q, they are waiting for me @ Gate 2 I am alone I heard their voice. I went there I did not see them then I went to announcement place announce @ 11:52 AM, management told me that you can’t do after this, by the time I announced 3 times & told them that I am going wait there only. See the miracle Baba arranged the facility to see his Madyanna Aarti directly. There is a window at security place you can see Baba & Aarti very well. After Aarti I decide I will make a round if Baba is with they will see me, surprisingly my niece( 10Yrs Old) saw me & called me.
This all happened with Baba blessing only.

Here are my experience, trust me if you trust & pray Baba you will give what you want & he also give you what is good for you.

Jai Sree SaiRam  ;D ;D

Sai ram to all.....
sai bab g k charno mein mein mera koto koti naman.

sai bab g ki mere upar jo kripa hui hai wahi mein aap sab se se share karna chahti hu.

1. sai baba ki kripa se meri mummy jo ki 25 years se theek ni thi matlab naubat yhan tak aa gyi thi ki bas sai baba g apne pass aab hum sab ko bula lo hume ni jeena hai.baba ki kripa se meri mummy 2010 mein theek hui hai.lks ne meri prathna baba tak phunchiye shirdi jakar.hum toh kahin b bahar ni jaa pate they kyunki mummy ki health bhut khrab rhti thi.lks jise mein bhut pasand krti hu shirdi gye hue they toh maine bola ki baba ko bas meri ram ram bol dena.bs bab ne meri arzi sweekar kar li aur baba ki kripa se meri mummy theek hui.


2. Sai baba g apke he aagaya se mein M se mili,wo muje pasand karta tha might b  mein b  yahi reason tha ki mein usse pasand karne lgi.baba g muje baad mein feel hua ki wo mera pyar ni tha just mein uss par dya karti thi means wo acha insaan ni tha aur mein chahti thi ki mein uske bahaviour mein improvement layu .maine ghar mein usske baare mein baat ki but intercaste ki wajah se ghar waalo ne mna kar diya.baba ki wajah se hi mein uss depression se bahar aa paayi.M se door jab hi bhut baar socha khud ko khatam kar du par baba ne mera dhyan apno chrno mein lgavaya fir meri M se marrige ni hui aur maine uss incident se bhut kuch sikha,bhut strong bani jo meri life mein hua.meri bhut icha thi ki mein m se shaadi karu bt nahi hui shayad baba ko pta hoga ki infuture mein iske sath kush ni rhungi.apna mind divert karne k liye maine fir se job karna start kar di.job k liye iss incident k baad mere papa ne mna kar diya tha strictly ki koi job ni karni bs shaadi kar deni hai.par baba ki kripa se maine ghar waalon ko bishwaas dilaya aur ghar waalon ne permit kar diya.


3. Job start karne k kuch time k baad he baba ne mje lks se milwaya wo baba ko pta hai ki kaise mein lks se mili aur kaise hum dono ek dusre ki like karne lag gye.

bas baba aab apaka aashirwad mil jaye aur ghar waale maan jaye toh hum marriage karna chahte hai.
baba kripa karna .....muje pura vishwaas hai ki meri prathna aap jald he sunenge....

mera experience yahi hai ki bas baba k upar vishwaas rakho chahe kaise b situation aaye or patience rakho...aur baba g ki bhakti karna kabi mat chodo....kyunki baba g humara test b lete hai.toh agar hum uss mein pass ho jaye toh bas baba apna chamatkar dikha dete hai aur baaki baba g apne bacho ko kabi b dukhi nahi dekh sakte hai. agar hum dukhi hote hai toh iske peeche b yahi reason hota hai ki hum ussi problem se kuch sikte b hai.meri life mein jo b problem aayi hai maine sabse kuch na kuch sikha hai.

thank u so much much baba g meri life mein problem aayi and mein stong ban payi...
allah malik.......

Dear all sai family, Jai saibaba.
I am SAIBABA'S devotee you can call me as "sai-jogan"just a home maker-sainetras.
This is my beautiful recent experience of My saibaba.  
I am not good at expressing my thoughts and my English is also not good. So please bare with me & my writing.
All through my life I am totally depend upon my saibaba for any and every  needed help.True to his "Vachan" baba is holding my hand whenever I need it.
I have had so many miracles which I will try to write one by one if saibaba wants me to write it.
Here this incident I am writing first  because, I promised to my Deva.

Both my sons are living in USA. By saibaba 's grace doing good  now. Last few months I am staying with them in USA.
Last some years my 2nd son is facing so many problems in his life I always pray for his happiness.Yet, one or other way he is facing problems.
 Last year when he heard the news of finally shutting down this company ( where he was working till now)  he was very upset. Few years back in recession time, it happened first time. Then he tried for new job and got one too. but,at that moment this earlier company where he was working, got new contract and request my son to stay with them, increasing his salary and he stayed there knowing his growth  here,  is limited and he has better opportunity from that another job.
When I asked him why he still wants to remain here ? He said, the company is facing problems wants to survive and it is his duty to help them first, rather then think about his personal growth.
I liked his honest feelings and agreed to his decision. I knew in my heart my saibaba is with him, who knows what is best for him and will guide him accordingly .
Even giving their very best efforts,this company could not survive and took the decision to shut it down. Now, Again my son has to search for new job and started to give so many interviews, with blessings of my baba he got the good job this time too. But this new job was in another city. My son mentally prepared himself for relocate and go on with destiny so it was OK. He decided to take it. The  new job people wanted him to join at the earliest. But, the previous company people not allowing him before they shut their business totally. At this point  his real test started. If he  can't join new job by given date, they may (new job boss) cancel his appointment & if he leaves (old one) before shutting their business they will not pay him his pending due amount. In both way the loss will be very painful. So he was very confused and very upset.
At that time I was in India, my son called me explaining above things, for a moment I could not able to give him any answer, then, as always I prayed to my saibaba The only Savior, The only protector to show the right way holding our hand.
My krupalu saibaba, showed the way by giving me this thought. I told my son go and meet the boss of new job and explain the real situation as it is. Let them decide are they willing to give you little more time to join them or not. Because since you work hard for this older company, you must get your every payment. So you have to be here for some more days. Your hard earn money should not go just like that..
 My son met his new job boss , told everything and they liked honesty of my son and granted the days even more than what he asked to join this new job.
The older company boss is also happy to know that their work will be completed with my sons help. And  gave every  due payment.
This is how saibaba helped my son to get good job + his hard earn money. thank you my DEVA.
PLEASE WITH US ALWAYS AND HELP ALL WHO COME TO YOU.
when we surrender our self to our saibaba, DEVA takes care of everything. Just we have to do our duty with true to our heart and others who trust us.& rest just leave to our lord saibaba's lotus feet. HE is there to guide everybody who come to HIS SHARAN.
Yet, as an ordinary human being we all disturbed and confuse our self when any difficult circumstance to be faced. Me too begged for saibaba's mercy to help my son and promised to write it. So here I am. Please excuse my mistakes.
Once again thank you for your Devine work which helps us to face life with new hope believing our SAIBABA.
JAI SAIRAM. KEEP BELIEVING. SAIBABA BLESS US BLESS ALL.

ॐ श्री साईं नाथाय नमः

सभी साईं प्रेमियों को साईं राम

साईं प्रेमियों बाबा की एक लीला को जो मेरे साथ हुई है उसको आपलोगोको बताना चाहूँगा और बताके मुझे बेहद प्रशंयता होगी | मै  अपने वतन से सात समुंदर पार अनजान देश में जीविकोपार्जन हेतु रुका हुआ हूँ  और यहाँ जो अनुभव कल मुझे हुआ उससे आपको अवगत कराता  हूँ |

आज से एक हफ्ता पहले यहाँ की एक महिला रिसेप्सन मे आई और पूछने लगी की जो इंडियन यहाँ काम करते है उनसे मिलना है | मुझे रिसेप्सन से फ़ोन आया की एक महिला आपसे मिलना चाह रही है | मैंने कहा कि मै किसी भी यहाँ की महिला को नहीं जनता | मै थोडा सा डर भी गया था कि ये क्या मुसीबत आ गई सर पे | पर फिर भी उनसे मिला और पुछा की क्यों आप मुझसे मिलना चाहिती हैं | महिला ले कहा कि मेरे घर के सभी सदश्यों के उपर किसी ने जादूटोना (टोना टुटका) करदिया है और हमलोग बहुत ही परेशान है | यहाँ टोना टुटका को दूर करने वाले है पर उनसे कुछ नहीं हुआ | मुझे किसी ने कहा है कि भारत में इन टोने टुटके का इलाज अच्छा होता है | आप मेरी मदत कीजिये और आपके देश में किसी जादूटोना करने वाले से इसकी काट करवाइये | मैंने कहा क्षमा करियेगा मै किसी को जानता नहीं हूँ और ना ही इन अंधविश्वास पर विस्वास करता हूँ | मेरे जवाब से वो जैसे मायूस हो गई और मुझे भी अच्छा नहीं लगा | मैंने स्थिति को सहज करने के लिए और उनको टालने हेतु  कह दिया कि आप अगले हफ्ते आइये मै पता लगाने की कोशिस  करता हूँ | उसदिन बाबा से उसके लिए दुआ की कि उसकी परेशानियों को दूर करें एवंग  मन में विचार किया की काश आज मै उसको उद्दी दे देता तो शायद अच्छा ही होता | फिर मन मे आया की विदेश मै हैं और यहाँ किसी को कुछ पता नहीं है ,बिना मतलब की बात हो जायेगी  और अनर्थक ही किसी समस्या का सामना ना करना पड़ जाये | |

कल वो महिला फिर आई और मैंने उसको उद्दी एक कागज मे लपेट के दी है और उस कागज के उपर साई राम लिखा है | मैंने उसको कहा की ये मेरे ईश्वर है और मै उनका ही प्रसाद आपको दे रहा हूँ | आप सोने के पहले चुटकी भर पानी मे घोलके पिया करियेगा और इस पुड़ियाँ को अपनी तकिया के नीचे रखके सोइयेगा | आपको साईं राम साईं राम का जाप करना है | कहने लगी की घर मे सभी प्रभावित है | मैंने कहा की आपके करने से उसकी शक्ति सबके पास पहुंचेगी | उसके चहरे की मुस्कान ही बता रही थी जैसे उसको एक अद्भुत खजाना मिल गया हो और मुझे उसकी मुस्कान को देखकर एक अपूर्व शांति का एहसास हुआ |

बाबा से यही प्राथना है कि अपने इस दास की लाज रख ले और विश्वास है की बाबा रखेंगे |

साई की लीला है की नहीं साईं प्रेमियों | कहाँ मै बेठा हुआ हूँ और कहाँ पर माध्यम बनाके कार्य करवा रहे हैं हमारे बाबा साईं | मै सच मे बहुत ही प्रशन्न हूँ क्योकि अपने देश से दूर रहकर भी बाबा ने कुछ नेक कार्य के मुझे काबिल समझा |

साईं से मेरी यही प्राथना है कि सदा अपनी कृपा दृष्टि बनाये रखें और मुझे एवंग मेरे परिवार को इस जीवन में सेवा का शुभअवसर प्रदान करते रहें |

बाबा के श्री चरणों में कोटि-कोटि प्रणाम |


ॐ साई राम

साईं प्रेमियों बाबा की एक लीला को जो मेरे साथ हुई है उसको आपलोगोको बताना चाहूँगा और बताके मुझे बेहद प्रशंयता होगी | मै  अपने वतन से सात समुंदर पार अनजान देश में जीविकोपार्जन हेतु रुका हुआ हूँ  और यहाँ जो अनुभव कल मुझे हुआ उससे आपको अवगत कराता  हूँ |

आज से एक हफ्ता पहले यहाँ की एक महिला रिसेप्सन मे आई और पूछने लगी की जो इंडियन यहाँ काम करते है उनसे मिलना है | मुझे रिसेप्सन से फ़ोन आया की एक महिला आपसे मिलना चाह रही है | मैंने कहा कि मै किसी भी यहाँ की महिला को नहीं जनता | मै थोडा सा डर भी गया था कि ये क्या मुसीबत आ गई सर पे | पर फिर भी उनसे मिला और पुछा की क्यों आप मुझसे मिलना चाहिती हैं | महिला ले कहा कि मेरे घर के सभी सदश्यों के उपर किसी ने जादूटोना (टोना टुटका) करदिया है और हमलोग बहुत ही परेशान है | यहाँ टोना टुटका को दूर करने वाले है पर उनसे कुछ नहीं हुआ | मुझे किसी ने कहा है कि भारत में इन टोने टुटके का इलाज अच्छा होता है | आप मेरी मदत कीजिये और आपके देश में किसी जादूटोना करने वाले से इसकी काट करवाइये | मैंने कहा क्षमा करियेगा मै किसी को जानता नहीं हूँ और ना ही इन अंधविश्वास पर विस्वास करता हूँ | मेरे जवाब से वो जैसे मायूस हो गई और मुझे भी अच्छा नहीं लगा | मैंने स्थिति को सहज करने के लिए और उनको टालने हेतु  कह दिया कि आप अगले हफ्ते आइये मै पता लगाने की कोशिस  करता हूँ | उसदिन बाबा से उसके लिए दुआ की कि उसकी परेशानियों को दूर करें एवंग  मन में विचार किया की काश आज मै उसको उद्दी दे देता तो शायद अच्छा ही होता | फिर मन मे आया की विदेश मै हैं और यहाँ किसी को कुछ पता नहीं है ,बिना मतलब की बात हो जायेगी  और अनर्थक ही किसी समस्या का सामना ना करना पड़ जाये | |

कल वो महिला फिर आई और मैंने उसको उद्दी एक कागज मे लपेट के दी है और उस कागज के उपर साई राम लिखा है | मैंने उसको कहा की ये मेरे ईश्वर है और मै उनका ही प्रसाद आपको दे रहा हूँ | आप सोने के पहले चुटकी भर पानी मे घोलके पिया करियेगा और इस पुड़ियाँ को अपनी तकिया के नीचे रखके सोइयेगा | आपको साईं राम साईं राम का जाप करना है | कहने लगी की घर मे सभी प्रभावित है | मैंने कहा की आपके करने से उसकी शक्ति सबके पास पहुंचेगी | उसके चहरे की मुस्कान ही बता रही थी जैसे उसको एक अद्भुत खजाना मिल गया हो और मुझे उसकी मुस्कान को देखकर एक अपूर्व शांति का एहसास हुआ |

बाबा से यही प्राथना है कि अपने इस दास की लाज रख ले और विश्वास है की बाबा रखेंगे |

साई की लीला है की नहीं साईं प्रेमियों | कहाँ मै बेठा हुआ हूँ और कहाँ पर माध्यम बनाके कार्य करवा रहे हैं हमारे बाबा साईं | मै सच मे बहुत ही प्रशन्न हूँ क्योकि अपने देश से दूर रहकर भी बाबा ने कुछ नेक कार्य के मुझे काबिल समझा |

साईं से मेरी यही प्राथना है कि सदा अपनी कृपा दृष्टि बनाये रखें और मुझे एवंग मेरे परिवार को इस जीवन में सेवा का शुभअवसर प्रदान करते रहें |

बाबा के श्री चरणों में कोटि-कोटि प्रणाम |


ॐ साई राम

Dear All,
For me
My SAIBABA,
HE is like mata, pita, bandhu,sakha...all in one Sarvswa Sai
HIS presence in my life means everything to me and my family.
I have lot ..lot and lots of experiences with my sai.
 
This is very small one but it shows Sai's presence in everyday life.
One day my son's close friend & his family visited us. I was taking care of  their little girl, while they went for shopping. Some time we both play hide and seek , did her home work..then I had other works to do so I told her to watch TV for some time while I finish my work. But she was not interested in TV. So she took her father's  I_PHONE, & watching something on that phone,sitting on our sofa, enjoying some music.
I too felt happy watching her smiling face from my kitchen.
Her parents return from shopping, we all had our lunch and sat chit-chatting. After evening coffee they wanted to leave. So they took their all bags, & before saying bye-bye Mr-S, ( little girl's father ) asked me to give his I-Phone which he left on our sofa before going to shopping. He said it was new model and is very costly one. He has bit forgetting nature & he didn't want to loose that new costly phone.
I too remembered some time earlier his daughter enjoying music on it. so I ran back to sofa, started searching. but could not find it anywhere. Waiting for me 10 minutes, everyone came inside. I told them everything happened in the morning. Mr S told me not to panic..and everyone started searching every corner of that room. we could not find it anywhere. I was very upset. All the time I was praying to my sai to help me to find it.but no chance. after two hours of searching Mr S was also very sad. His wife indirectly commenting ..these days we should not believe anybody.. Is someone here ? servant milkman or watchman...?
I was feeling very guilty, blaming myself not taking proper care of that costly phone.
 
At last I said to sai " Deva  please don't make me guilty in front of girl's father. You know that I havn't done any wrong so to prove that, please help me and show the way."
At that moment girl's father Mr S, asked me when did I saw her holding that phone ? and where was she at that time ? We searched all over that sofa making it upside down  yet no chance. I was in tears called my SAI  to save me from this situation
of misunderstanding.
 And my SAI is great !   
I just droped my hair pin which went in-between two seats of that sofa. I pushed my hand in-between two seats of sofa and What a surprise !!!! The I-phone was there ! it was stuck middle of two seats.
I felt so relief....All of you may think it is not a wonder But for me IT IS A GREAT WONDER. A miracle ! My SAI saved me from a blame. saved my respect.
Thank you My Deva. I love you.
 
Keep your faith make it strong Sai is always there to help us.
JAI SAIBABA.

Dear Sai Devotees,
I have been an ardent devotee of Sai Baba since I was a 8-9 yr old Kid.
And experiencing his miracles or presence from past 4-5 yrs.
Sai was always a part of my life and showered me with his leela's but I was ignorant or did not realise them ,but last 4-5 years I was fortunate to feel his presence in my life.
There are many leela's of our Sai Baba which I would wish to share in this forum.
Let me narrate to you recent wonderful leela of Baba.
I was suffering from allergy on my feet from last winter. It was quite severe and painful day by day and I couldn't stop itching.
Around 2 months, On Thursday after coming home from Baba's Aarti, I started looking up for Baba's websites on net and consider myself very blessed to have found this Sai Baba's Forum.
I was in awe reading experiences of all devotees and was moved to tears many times.
Then before sleeping I prayed to Baba "please let me feel you are around me and let me experience your leela too."
Baba did show me a wonderful miracle and the next day when I woke up, My feet allergy was gone and itching sensation has subsided over night.
I was soo delighted and felt so happy.
Thank you Baba for being so kind to all of us.
And thanks Sai Devotees for sharing your amazing experiences.
May Sai Baba bless you all always.

Om Sai Ram. I would like to share two incidents which re-emphasis Sai Baba's blessings for devotees. 

 I want to be in a state where I think always about sai baba. Always think my doer is sai baba. I have long way to go to remove my ignorance and move towards Sai Baba.   

I would like to share two of my experience which had happened recently.

1.  I happen to visit Chennai during last week of May 2012. I make it a point to visit Mylapore Sai Baba every time I went to chennai.  So this time I had planned mentally before starting my trip that I will visit Mylapore sai baba temple. Plan was to attend thread ceremony on Thursday. So my wife, my daughter and I left on Bus from Bangalore to Chennai on Wednesday night and reached chennai on Thursday morning.  We went to thread ceremony and my 930 AM most of main function was over. I was longing to go to sai baba temple. Since, I had to return back on Friday evening to Bangalore, I want to ensure I visit temple first before any surprise comes which might make it not possible to visit. I left from function around 10 am, told my wife and daughter that I'm going to temple. They didn't accompany me since they wanted to be present in the function. So I took auto from Medavakkam to Myloapore. It is long drive. After an hour or so, while I was in Auto , my auto guy stopped and said that break wire has cut so I have to take another auto. I was angry and upset that auto has stopped. So I paid the amount and waiting for auto. It was stretch where I could not see much auto coming. It was around 1045 or so and waiting, then an lady aged around 50 plus came to me. She said asked me where I'm going. I said I'm going to Mylapore sai baba temple and she requested if she can be dropped at Adar which is en route. I said no problem and both were waiting for auto.  Then auto-wala  came and we both boarded and we were talking about sai baba. She told that she is member is sai arya Samaj and had darshan of sai baba in Mylapore temple early morning that day.  I was so happy to see that she was sai devotee and I talked about how much I love sai baba and forth and showed sai chatcharitra book that I always started carrying.  She then recommended that being Thursday it will be very crowded so advised me to contact president Mr X who sits in temple and tell that you (me) is friend of Mr Y.  She said she is wife of Mr. Y.  I mentally noted down the names of Mr X and Mr Y. And she asked me how long I plan to stay in chennai. I told that Friday evening I will return back to Bangalore.  Then she opens her wallet and gives me VIP pass for kumbhabhishegam for Padnabhan temple in Adyar that is going to happen.she gave me details on when to come etc to temple. While I knew it will be difficult to visit for the occasion, I accepted VIP pass and started thinking on to whom I should give.  I dropped her at place of choice and proceeded to the temple. Being Thursday, it was heavily crowded . It could take easily 2 hour darshan. So now I remembered the name of Mr X/Y and so I proceeded to the office to ask for president.  But I was told president is not there and will come late. I told the security guard about Mr X/Y..but he simply refused.  I was thinking on what to do and anyhow my plan was to wait in queue and take darshan...so thinking that I was prepared for the queue and started taking few steps towards to join the queue. Then the same security guard calls me and gives me direction for VIP entry and informs another security near sanctum to allow me. It was very fast and within 5 minutes I was near sanctam looking at sai's feet and kneeling down at sai's feet.  This would have taken 2 hours which I was happy to stand as well but that day I was just destined to get quick darshan.  I was very happy and had tears in my eyes and seeking blessings to sai.   After the darshan, I was sitting in temple and thinking of Sai. There was some gathering going on near by hall..a lady was sharing about miracles of sai baba and teachings of sai baba.  It was small hall adjacent to the temple. There was small stage with mic and devotees sitting on the chairs.  Since I went late I was just sitting on the floor and listening. After the session, I went to the speaker and told my desire on doing some service during my upcoming trip to Shirdi.  However she being busy that day, not much direction was given.  I was waiting there and seeing all participant leaving the hall.  While I was thinking of doing some service in shirdi, I get a voice from a uncle to help him arrange all the chairs back to the original postion. I was very happy to do this and eagerly jumped on it and arranged all the chairs. While I was thinking to do in shirdi, I was given opportunity on the same day at same place.   I was thinking about my above experience all day and thinking about love and affection that our sai takes care of devotees. All we have to do is surrender to him and remove our ignorance due to Maya. Sounds simple, but I have long way to go.

  Regarding the VIP pass, i passed it to another couple who was Sai Devotee. I was just channel that day to pass on VIP pass to right devotee. 

Om Sai Ram.

Om Sai Ram.   Would like to share experience... For last 3-4 months by Sai's grace - i have been pulled towards him.  I wish i always look at him and help other sai devotees and never for a second - forget Sai...   

Here is my brief experience...

For last few months, I have been reading Satcharithra.  While expectation is read within a week, I always contemplate , think lot after each chapter or lesson or experience.    One of the chapter talks about - or lessons that I learned was to give offering to Sai Baba or your "ista devatha" before we consume food. 

I felt this was good practice and decided to follow.   I didn't tell my parents or wife that Im going to start this.  I didn't tell my kid as well.   So I was having my dinner,  and i remembered about sharing first share to sai baba.  So I took a small piece of food and kept it aside and thought about sai baba.  I continued having my food. 

 Within few minutes, I got a door bell. I went and opened it.  I saw 2 Kids.  They wanted to have water.   The kids must be around 10-12 years old.   Since we live in ground floor - we get knocks on our door from kids to drink water.  But usually i get knocks from Kids whom I know or whom I see them in park.   And usually they ask for water if door is open or around evening like 630 before they go home. 

But in this instance - it was around 830pm - most of kids were not in park / my door was closed.  And I have never seen those kids.   I'm sure there must be around in apartment complex. But it was my first time Im seeing them.  I gave them water and casually asked their name. One boy said "Samarth" and another boy said something "Sai anand or something".   

I didn't know how to react. I gave them the water and was happy inside  and told my wife about it.  It took time to digest the experiences we had.   

Om Sai Ram.  Om Sai Baba.

Dear shawlinca,

baba sai can never be upset with his kids. sai baba is personification of your faith. the more you believe sai, the closer you feel sai natha to you. baba sai is beyond all these angry, etc.


baba will never leave his kids. baba is in you and all , even in them who don't believe him. baba is universal mother , the kartha , karma and kriya. he is witness to all of our actions. so brother, believe sai, once you have unshakable faith on sai baba, you will never feel down, beacuse, failure or success are baba blessings to us. have faith on baba, you faith should be beyond all these failures and success, that is call "surrender to baba".

"faith can move mountains"

have confidence in yourself, beacuse it is baba sai in you. develop this belief. baba will be with you. baba is with you.

baba is our faith. that is why baba asks dakshina of" shradha and Saburi".

offer yourself to baba. rest sai will take care. beacuse you are baba's responsibility.

om srisairam gurudevadatta
on sai shree sai jai jai sai

I am writing something that I was hoping not to have to write. My apologies in advance if any one is upset by my post but I am being honest about my experience.  I am not trying to raise doubts or anything else but just sharing what happened to me. I had promised Baba that I would post my experience here but this is not how I wanted it to be:  Baba came into my life in 2001 and since then, I believed in Baba for every little thing. I talked to him like he was right next to me. I prayed to him like I didn't believe in any other God but him. He helped me in several things and it increased my faith. But looking back, I have come to realize that he let me down in the big issues of life.  I didn't stop praying to him despite that but I had been praying to him for one wish for the last 4-5 months.  I read Sai Satcharita each day, it was not a saptaha but read a little each day, some times one or two chapters a day.  I had promised I would do Saptaha and even dreamed of going to Shirdi to thank him if I got this one wish. Well, I did not get this wish fulfilled.  It was a smaller wish compared to some things I asked him for in the past, yet he let us down.  I always mentioned Baba's name for everything and told my son to take his Udi before every exam etc.  My son even questioned why I only mention Baba always and not GAnesha or Rama etc. I told him Baba is my only God and he takes care of us and helps us like he is alive with us right now. Well, now that I feel so let down, I can't even mention Baba's name to my son.   Every time I prayed to Baba or thought about this wish, I would get some sign that he would make it happen. He never let me down on that.  However, in the end, the wish didn't come true despite my son's hardwork and good grades.  By now, you might have guessed that this has to do with my son's college admissions.  We were not dreaming or asking for unreachable goals like Ivy league, we wanted him to get admissions to a college of his first choice which is very reachable given his very good grades/scores etc.  People with lesser grades got in but not my son.  I have only one child, so it's not like I can dream for the next one.   I don't even know what to make of all this.  I don't understand why and neither does anyone else I guess.  People that know my son are just as shocked that he didn't get into his first choice college.  I have never felt so dejected or depressed. I am the person who easily can get out of sadness very quickly by focusing on the good but this one, may be because I want the best for my son, it's been very hard to get through.  I truly believed so fervently that if Baba wanted my son to get this, he could've helped, especially since my son did have the qualifications.  I didn't ask Baba to help without my son working hard or getting good grades.   Even after the initial bad news, I kept hoping Baba could still make a miracle happen but yesterday, all hopes were dashed once again.  That's all, I have nothing more to say.  I have stopped praying to Baba since 3 weeks and am very sad.   I know it sounds childish or immature but if only you knew how much I trusted Baba and his positive signals he gave me every day about this issue, you would understand the pain and disappointment.   I wish every one here the very best and may all their dreams come true.

     Have faith in baba. I too told to baba I will stop my prayer if u won't fulfill my wish. But I can't. I always fight with baba and I tell to baba I won't speak with u but everyday I speak to saibaba at least by way of scolding baba. Surely your prayer will fulfill with the blessing of saibaba. We are children of sailbaba baba surely take care of us. Don't worry baba will help u.

Dear SaiSandya, thanks for sharing your feelings.  Even I used to think that thinking of BAba even when angry was a good thing.  Now, I just can't seem to bring myself to pray to Baba.  I feel like I was let down by the one thing in my life that I most believed in.   It's kind of late now that anything can change regarding my son's admissions decision and I feel like I will never forgive Baba for this.  I NEVER EVER thought Baba would let me down on this wish.  It's not just for me, I wanted it for my son like any mother wants it.  Even now, if he makes this one wish come true, I will run back to Baba and ask for forgiveness and pray with all my heart.  He knows what is in my heart without me telling him.

Thank you for your thoughts Gunj-ji.  It's now up to Baba to call me to him again and build my faith again. He knows everything about me at every second. I will leave it up to him to sort everything out and convince me again to have the kind of faith I used to have.  It's not like at every turn, if Baba didn't make my wish come true, I would turn against him. I know he is not just there to fulfill every silly wish of ours.  But this one wish was a very big one and I didn't stop praying and trusting him in the past even when my big wishes didn't come true.  I accepted it as my karma or whatever.  This one, it's a tough one I guess because it's for my child's future.  Yes, I know he can still do very well wherever he studies and he is a very good son in so many ways.  I just feel sad that his hard work went unrewarded. Let us see what SAI has planned for us.

Om Sai Ram.

This is my experience from 22 years ago. That time we were living in India. I was expecting our second child. We tried three times to get a US visa, but it was refused. One day, Sai Baba came in my dream and told me "visa mil jayega," which means "you will get Visa." We were wondering why this would be possible because it was refused three times. One day we got an offer from Canada, which was refused before. The university where my husband was offered a job wanted him to join as soon as possible. For the Canadian visa, a physical exam was required and it takes some time for processing. So my husband went to the Canadian consulate and explained the situation. And to our surprise and by Baba's grace, she said no problem! She told my husband to go straight to the doctor's office and get it done. She called the doctor's office and told them to give the reports to my husband. (Doctors are not normally allowed to give the reports) The next day, my husband had the physical exam, picked the reports and went to the consulate with the reports. By Sai Baba's blessing it was all right and she gave the visa. Next week my husband came to Canada and I joined him after with our two sons. Today, we are living in Canada happily with Sai Baba's blessings. May Sai Baba's blessings remain with all of us. My koti koti namasakar to his holy feet.

OM Sai Shri Sai Jai Jai Sai. 

JAI SAI RAM!

I wrote about my disappointment regarding my son's college admission in May 2013.  Now I write this with tears in my eyes as Baba has blessed my son with a miracle! Just yesterday, we found out that my son is able to transfer to the college of his first choice this year!  He was wait listed in 2013 and he started in his second choice college but did very well by Baba's grace only.  This year, he decided to apply again to his first choice college and they accepted him.  He will just continue without losing credits or time but he will be able to do it in his first choice college.  I don't even know where to begin to thank Baba. He wanted us to wait when the time was right and he has taught me humility this past year.  From the bottom of my heart, I thank my beloved Sai for this miracle.  Please always be with me whenever and wherever I think of you, please guide me always and show me the right path every day.  Jai Sairam! Jai Sairam! Jai Sairam!

I have faith in Sai baba and all other gods and goddess. Buti think its my kismat. But it so much painful to live life suffering. I might did lot of bad things but I have done lot of good things too. Because I read so many miracles. And people get what they want in no time. It's been 8 years and still stressful life. What's the purpose of life when everyday is stress

Jai Sai Ram!  I am just in pleasant shock as I just received wonderful news that my son got some scholarship from the local Baba temple!  We applied last year but because of my last name and my son's name being different, there was confusion and he didn't get the scholarship.  We accepted it as Baba's wish. The committee said the application was not viewed in time due to name confusion and also another kid had one mark higher or something like that.  Today, when we were not even expecting (especially considering it's been a year!), we get news suddenly that we should take our son and go to the temple to receive the scholarship.  I can't think of a better blessing than getting anything from Baba temple and I would be thrilled even if it was not money.  This is a true miracle from Baba and a blessing from him to my son who by the way will also be transferring to his first choice university this fall.  He got wait listed in 2013, so he went to his second choice university for his freshman year and this year, he got accepted to his first choice university which is a very good one in the USA.  I am beyond words to express my deep gratitude to Sai for his kindness and blessings.  Dear Sai, please always keep us in your protection and bless our son and every one always.  Help us to constantly chant your name so that we are reformed in our thoughts and actions daily.  Thank you Sai from the bottom of my heart!

Jai Sairam!  True to what you said, Baba knows best.  My wish came true this year even though we didn't think it would!  Also, today, on Sri Ramanavami day, we got great news that our son got some scholarship from the Baba temple!  How miraculous is that?  Any blessing from Baba temple especially is a miracle and for these two things to happen within 2 week span is just bringing tears to my eyes.  Baba, please help me to always trust you and I am so glad that I ran back to you after a few months of disappointment last year.  Please never ever leave us and please help me to always hold on to your feet firmly every moment.  I pray to Sai for every one's well being and happiness and health.

I have faith in Sai Baba and very God and Goddess. But i pray more and more. Do all kind of prayers. Think positive that I will get this and this. But very time I come empty handed. Now if I'm not gone think negative than what else. I even cry. There are so much stuff I can do if I get little help. I even take medicine for my ADD(attention deficient disorder) so I can focus and get a better job an go back to school. Is it my fault that even after studying for month I cannot get A. Other people do bad stuff and they still get what they want.

  Please continue to pray to Sai.  Try and read a chapter or a few lines of Sai Sat Charita every day. YOu will no doubt get peace of mind.  Baba loves you and he will help you even if it may be not right now.  Only he knows why he does what he does.  Even I was very upset last year but I realized that if we hold on to his feet no matter what, he will certainly shower his grace.  There are some difficulties I have faced for 24 years in fact but I still hold on to him and ask him to help me to handle things gracefully.  May Baba shower his blessings on you and all here.  Jai Sairam!
