A Couple Of Sai Baba Experiences - Part 3

Once again i am posting few experiences shared by our Sai brothers in brief.

Sai brother Sudheer ji says:

Think And Sai Baba Is Here

Hi Hetalji,
I would like to share with you my experience with Baba which happened recently. It was on 26-Jan-2010, Tuesday noon at around 2.30 pm I was reading one of the books on Baba in which the lines read “The moment you think of me, I manifest before you” which is one of Baba’s promises. And the lines go on saying if this is wished with a pure heart, this would come true. I truly wished Baba should come before me and continued reading it. It was Tuesday at 2:30pm the time coincided with Baba’s Maha Samadhi day which was Tuesday, 2:30pm. As we know, Baba took Mahasamadhi on 15-October-1918, Tuesday noon. After about half an hour, I heard some chorus songs being chanted outside my house. I peeped outside to see Baba’s palki procession passing by my house. One can imagine my happiness. Such instances are many in my life where Baba proved that he is near and always caring. Baba is very Omnipresent. “Think and he is here”. Thanks Baba for showering your love and Am always indebted to you. May I be your slave and serve you being very closely bonded with you in as many future births that I may have before I reach your holy abode. Amen.

Thanks & Regards,

Sudheer Kumar Pisay.

Sai brother Ravi says:

Sai Saved Me From Embarrassment

I was caught by a traffic cop (one late evening) for taking a wrong way in a one way lane in Chennai, India. There was no "sign" stating it was a one way. But it was a mistake nevertheless. The cop took me inside a shop nearby and asked me for bribe. I prayed to Sai in my mind that I made a mistake unknowingly, please save me.

I told him that I had nothing significant. He was insistent. At one point I spread my wallet and showed him that there was no notable money inside. He peeped in. I looked inside too. There were a couple of Rs.10 notes and I gave them to him and he let me go. I came home thanking Sai in my mind, for saving me from any significant impact.

Then the next day, I opened my wallet (same section) to pay for something - to my surprise, I saw 2-3 Rs100 notes! I then remembered that I placed it 3-4 days back. I am not sure how it did not show up when I spread the wallet! May be the lighting cast some shadows or maybe the Rs.100 notes were hidden in between the Rs10 notes. Whatever happened, the notes were completely masked from vision
when I spread the wallet!! I could have easily lost some money to some annoying cop! I internally thanked Sai sincerely for this miracle!

An unknown devotee of Baba named Sai Bhaktan says:

Sai Helped Us Marry

This is quite a long experience. I was in love with a girl and so was she. By Sai's grace everything fell in place, we got married with full-hearted acceptance from parties on both sides and we are now married and living happily and so are our parents. There are several incidences and innumerable miracles that Sai did for us. I just wanted to share this one for now.

1) At some point before our marriage, I was in Shirdi and called up my mom to say that I reached safely and am just about to get into the temple for Darshan. She told me that my she had sent my horoscope to my father-in-law as per their request. This was a big surprise to me since they had earlier decided not to get into Horoscopes. Even now, they did this for the sake of satisfaction.

I felt quite nervous. I went to the temple and was in Shirdi Sai's inner cabin in the main temple. I was feeling nervous and hoped that everything turns out well. some issues like a manglik dosha (though I do not believe in these and think Sai is the ultimate saviour) would send jitters among parents and relatives alike. Just about the same time when this thought crossed my mind, I heard something like "Manglaya Shubam..." (I don't remember the verse) and I turned back. I saw a party of women seated in front of a priest and right at that moment when I turned, they took the kumkum (red coloured power used in pooja) and applied to their foreheads!! I was so overwhelmed with happiness and let go of all my fears right then, knowing Sai would do the needful.

I called my mom after the darshan and came to know that our horoscope had 9/10 matches which is seemingly very rare! This further strengthened the support of elders on both sides! Victory be unto Sai...

My First Experiences With Shirdi Sai Baba - Sai Devotee Anuradha

2010-03-08T09:54:00.008+05:30

In today's post i am sharing experience of Sai sister Anuradha ji.

Anuradha ji says: Om Sai Ram.

Only two months ago i came to know about this site and i have read various experiences experienced by sai devotees. Here-with i am describing three important happenings which happened in my life.

1. I am basically from Chennai, Tamilnadu, but i am presently staying in Pune. Only after coming to Pune i came to know about Shridi Baba. My first visit to Shirdi was on 1st March 2009, but at that time i was not aware of anything. But i got a statue of Baba, Sai Satcharitram from Shirdi but i did not have time to read it. Only in the month of July i took the book and started reading it after sacrificing my favorite dish. I prayed to Baba i would visit Shiridi after reading the book. But due to our family problems i was not able to visit Shirdi till September. Only during September 2009 i with my husband, children, in-laws went to Shirdi. But two days before i was praying to Baba that i have to see Baba in any form in the temple as giving me Udi and this happened in the temple. After getting Udi by standing in the queue i went near the rest room in the temple premises, that time i saw a man sleeping near a pillar who was no one but Baba. Something struck my heart and telling that is no one but your god. He was wearing a white dress and at that time my husband was sitting near the Nandeep and i was able to see him from that place. I ran to my husband and told him this and when we searched for him we could not see him, what a grace. This incident made me to surrender myself to Baba.

2. Due to various family problems i took 11 thursdays fasting. I used to go to temple situated near my house (12 Kms) on all thursdays. On one thursday i had only Rs.10 with me and one 1000 rupee note. I had to take 2 share autos but with Rs.10 i could only travel half the way, so i kept on praying Baba and went to a flower vendor and got a garland with Rs.5 and asked him change for Rs.1000 but he told he does not have. I was very worried how to get change and thought of going to near by shops and ask, but suddenly the flower vendor called me and asked 1000 rupee note and he also called a person passing by and told him to give change. I was very much astonished and i was wondering who that person was, but for me he was no one but Sai Baba.

3. During the month of January i had to go to Chennai for receiving a certificate. I was to be present on Saturday positively. My husband told me to take flight, but i refused as the fare was around 8500 (to and fro). I told him that i will book a train on Thursday night 12.10 which will reach Chennai at 8.00 PM on next day. Suddenly my husband got a urgent work in Chennai and started. He told to me that he will be back on thursday night 10.30 pm and take care of our children and so that i could take the train at 12.10pm. But i was not able to get the ticket and i even tried the travel agent also. I prayed to Baba and wrote train and flight in a paper and asked my son to take it and it was flight, and immediately booked flight. But what happened is that my husband who was to arrive at 10.30pm arrived only at 3.30am due to delay of the flight. If i had booked the train i would not be able to catch the train leaving my children alone. Everything was Baba's Grace.

I Need Answers From Sai Baba Devotees - Unknown Sai Devotee

2010-03-06T09:45:00.007+05:30

I received mail from Sai brother who likes himself to be called PRC and has shared his experiences with Sai Baba and few of his difficulties. He wishes to get answers from the readers. My request - Please feel free to share your answers to PRC's questions in the comment form below.

PRC says: I have been with Baba for many years now. I have truly loved Baba for everything good that He has given me. I have intense thoughts about Him when I concentrate and get teary eyed when I think about Him. I have had amazing blessings and have personally witnessed miracles in my life. But for the past 1 year, my life has taken a serious downturn. I keep thinking everything will start picking up. I need some help and direction from my fellow Baba devotees.

In December 2008, I went to Shirdi with my wife and in-laws. It was probably my 4th trip to Shirdi and I went there with a clean heart and conscience. I prayed for my career, my wife and my family. To tell you the truth, my job meant almost everything to me. I was very fortunate to get that opportunity and genuinely thanked God for making me so fortunate. I got that job in 2006 in a prestigious firm and got it at a time when my career was on the balance. After my job, I built the confidence to get married, start an exciting career and make my parents truly proud of me. However, I did something very selfish also. I had made a promise that after I got my dream job, I would donate $2000 to a needy child in Shirdi. I went to Shirdi twice but never fulfilled my promise. That thought always pinched me in the back of my mind, but I still never kept my word. I acted selfishly. Upon my return from Shirdi, I came back home and saw that my phone was damaged as water fell on it for some strange reason. That was my favorite phone and it was very weird how water fell on it. Not a big deal, I thought, since it was just a phone after all. I went to Delhi and within 3 days my Grand Mother passed away on her way to Delhi. At the same time, my father fell sick and was admitted into the hospital. I had a horrible trip to India and felt very bad my trip ended after coming back from Shirdi. There was also a lot of tension at home between my mother and me, and felt stuck between my wife and my mother. Then, after I came back to the US, after 4 weeks, I lost my job. I was heart broken. After 5 days, my Aunt passed away. After 2 weeks, I lost my wedding ring. After another 2 weeks, I called up my Guruji and he shouted and insulted me. I was completely torn after that. I could not believe how my life just changed in 2 months. I went into depression. I neglected my wife and lost interest in everything. I applied for jobs everywhere, but because of the economy, no one was hiring in the US. I put myself through lot of emotional trauma and broke down every other day.

I finally decided to prepare for my MBA. I took great courage and strength to study. I prepared for 6 months. I put everything in the back burner - wife, family, friends, everything - to study. I prayed to Baba every single day. I prayed a lot. I would see Baba's pictures and names in strange places - windows, TV shows, friend's houses, even on a car number plate. It was very weird. I would keep hoping that it was a sign that Baba is with me and something good will happen soon. I prayed very hard. Genuinely did.

Now it has been a year since I lost my job. Nothing has changed for me. I am having many problems with my wife. My parents are so sad because of me. But though my wife has supported me through and through, I feel she is losing faith in my abilities. I got some excellent job opportunities, but for some reason it does not work out. I still keep seeing Baba's pictures and names in strange places. The other day on TV, I was browsing through the channels and saw a show 'Sai Baba'. I had never seen this before. I entered a store and this person walks in and asks for Baba's pictures. I go to my friend's house and beneath a pile of so many books, I see Baba's book sticking out in a corner. But now I am getting paranoid. I feel that whenever I see Baba's picture, something bad will happen now. My MBA admission results will be out in the next few days. That is the only thing I am praying for to get my life back on track. I sacrificed my sanity for my MBA admissions. My prayer is that I get through. But I am scared. Really scared. I am afraid of losing this one last attempt I have made. I keep thinking Baba will save me and every time I see His picture, I feel he is going to help me. But the next news I get is rejection. I do not know what to make of all this.

Can someone please give me some direction and enlightenment? As you can see, I am completely demoralized. I have lost all confidence. I am a very smart person, full of ambition and life. Everyone around me enjoys my company. I am very kind hearted, extremely compassionate. I think about the poor and needy, and am always nice to everyone. I genuinely believe I am a good human being and I mean no harm. I am so faithful to my family. But the circumstances for the past 1 year have shaken me to the core. I am scared that my wife will leave me. I need to get my life back on track. And now I am only praying that I get my MBA admissions. Then everyone will be happy. I am not doing this for myself. I am doing it for my family's happiness. Someone please help me and speak to me on Baba's behalf.

Sai Ram...

My First Birthday gift Sai Baba Himself - Sai Devotee Pooja

2010-03-04T20:36:00.007+05:30

Sharing herewith experience of Sai sister Pooja ji. Pooja ji says: Om Sai Ram. Today I visited this blog for the first time and its a wonderful job done.

This is the first incidence where I became a strong and a firm believer of Baba. From the childhood I have been brought up in such a way that I always believed in God but still sometimes had questions about what I had been told and felt is god really there?

It was 16th march 2006 which was my birthday and also the last internal examination paper(environmental chemistry)...can never forget that day of my life. As usual since it was my exam I bowed down in front of all the idols of all the Gods and prayed that my exams were very good. Then when I was praying before Baba and was almost done with my prayers, I don't know why and how I continued my prayers only to Sai Baba saying,"Baba its my Birthday today n aaj mujhe aapse kuch to gift chahiye. Kuch bhi chalega - Baba its my birthday today and i need a gift from You, whatever it may be, it will be acceptable to me. Even if its some punishment and if You think its important for me I will do. But I want some gift from You today and that also before 12 midnight." Even I felt surprised that what I was doing? Then I left home gave my exams which were superb...was very happy because exams were over and it was my birthday too...came back home...then there was a sort of surprise birthday party for me in a hotel by my parents and relatives..came back home around 11.40 p.m...had received many gifts and also few envelopes containing money...started opening one by one..(Had completely forgotten about my prayers to Baba for gift since was not done thoughtfully)...then started collecting money from few envelopes...and one of the envelopes which was given by my maasi(aunty - mother's sister) was made up of Sai Baba's photograph...and immediately something clicked me and I saw the watch it was not yet 12 midnight and still there were few minutes for it...after removing money from it I opened the envelope carefully and properly so that it was a complete square photograph...I still have it and will be there forever. One thing that surprised me was my maasi had envelopes printed with their names also and usually on all occasions used them but that day how she gave me an envelope that was made from a card that had Sai Baba's photograph? (Sai baba's photograph converted into envelope by my cousin bhabhi and then later I again converted envelope back into the photograph).

Then I realised that Baba's gift to me was none other than HIMSELF and from that day Baba actually came into my life or else say I started recognizing his presence and I became His devotee and had all my doubts cleared which sometimes I had about God's existence. Then after that there are so many times when Baba has helped me out and showed me the path and I started recognizing His presence in my life.

Thank You Sai Baba for the most wonderful birthday gift and entering my life.

Love You BABA...ALWAYS.

Om Sai Ram!!!!!!!

A Couple Of Sai Baba Experiences - Part 2

2010-03-02T18:59:00.007+05:30

Here in this post again i am sharing few short experiences narrated by Sai devotees.

Sai sister Divya ji says:

Sai has helped me in tough times

Hi hetal,
Thanks a lot for providing devotees with a chance to share their experiences through your blog. I have been experiencing Sai's grace ever since I started believing in him.

Last year my husband applied for his H-1 visa. By God's grace it got approved but finding a job in last year's economy was so tough. We both searched for nearly 2-3 months. There would be interviews set up. My husband would wait for weeks but to our dismay there was no positive response. Meanwhile I had finished reading the "MIRACLE" book of Sai in one week.I also did Satcharitra saptaha parayan. I was so disturbed and used to cry often asking Sai, "You gave us this visa then why don't you help us find a job? Why are you testing me?". I had almost given up hope when an offer came up in last week of November.

My husband was selected and was asked to join in 3 weeks. But his previous company did not let him resign until Dec 3rd week.

I was thinking "Sai you got us this close and now this is happening". My husband somehow convinced the present company to wait for 6 weeks for him. All this happened because of Sai's grace and nothing else.

I too had applied for the dependent visa based on my husband's visa approval. My visa too got approved without showing a salary slip only because of Sai in 2 months time.

I would like to say this to all Sai devotees. Do not lose faith and patience. Sai will help you in times of need. You just need to be more sincere and devoted in your prayers.

Thanks once again
Jai Sairam

Sai sister Anuradha ji says:

Sai is God, the Ultimate

Jai Sairam, I am Anuradha hailing from Chennai, India. I wish to share my experience with All Sai devotees. This miracle has introduced my family particularly me and strengthened my belief in Him. I owe my life to Him.

On 11 Feb 1997, my basic instinct told me to stay back home as both my 12 yr son and husband were not too well. I informed my office for 1 day leave. About noon my husband stopped responding to medicines, his temperature rose to 104 degree. The attending doctor advised me to get Kumar - my husband hospitalized. By then he had developed seizures and had drifted into a state of unconsciousness. Blessing in disguise, my son was better.

The doctors in the Hospital gave him just 48 hours as he had been diagnosed with Acute Pnuemococal Meningitis, CRITICAL situation where the virus or bacteria has entered the innermost membrane of the brain. I panicked and informed his family. Until this incident although i had heard about Sai Baba, I did not believe him as he was human. It was then my sister in law wanted me to start reading Sai Satcharita with a earnest prayer to cure my husband. I started reading on TUESDAY that is the day he was admitted around 11.00 pm non stop continued the next day, when on Thursday exactly after 48 hours the Doctor informed me that he had gained conscious, but gave me a shock that, even if he survives he will be in vegetative state. My blind faith in Baba did not deter me. I prayed and continued to read until I completed by Tuesday the next week. I found him SHOWING SIGNS of recognition on the 15th day. In about 45 days, his memory was slowly returning, no Amnesia, was able to walk and eat on his own. Sai provided funds to pay the bills too I don’t know how?

There was no looking back from then. Its only Baba in our lives. I would not have been alive to narrate my experience if Sai would not have chosen me .

Please Sai, continue to bless us and the entire Humanity.

Sai sister Dipali ji says:

THANK U SAI

OM SAI RAM, HETALJI I WANT TO SAY A THANK YOU TO YOU FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB. BABA BLESS YOU.

On this sunday evening, we were watching TV. When suddenly my daughter (8yrs) started shouting that her EYE cannot open and there's something in her eye. In one minute there was panic, she kept crying.

I took her to the bathroom, washed her eye with water, but she could not open her eye, it kept watering. I started doing 'OM SAI RAM' JAAP and put UDI tikka and gave her UDI IN WATER (as a HOLY TIRTH).

I kept telling her to SAY 'OM SAI RAM'. In two minutes, her eye stopped watering, redness disappeared. Seeing her SMILE again was such a relief. I asked her 'Who cured you?' She just said "MY BABA".

I want to thank my SADGURU DEVA, MY SAI FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE. WE LOVE HIM AND MAY HIS GUIDING HAND ALWAYS BE WITH US.

A Couple Of Sai Baba Experiences - Part 1

2010-02-28T17:48:00.014+05:30

I am constantly receiving mails from devotees sharing their experiences with Shirdi Sai Baba. Some are very short narrations and thus it is decided to club and post them in one post. This clearly indicates that devotees of Sai Baba associate every happening of their lives with grace and blessings of their beloved Sai Baba. I am touched to know about this.

Sai brother Jitendra ji says: Respected Hetalji "Jai Sai Ram". I am Jitendra Sharma from Noida.

I can not narrate into words that when i go through experiences of our beloved SAI devotees how much i thrilled and excited. Tears rolled out in my eyes when i see how BABA are helpful to all of us when we are in problems .Really you are doing a very wonderful and commendable work by providing a platform where all SAI FAMILY can share his sorrows and joys. I wish and pray to BABA for your good health and bright future. (Thanks brother Jitendraji).

I have full faith in BABA that when you pray to him whole heartedly, He listen to your prayers and extend his helping hand.

In past few weeks my father developed some health problem and doctor advised him to go through MRI. I was very tensed and scared to know about this. I prayed to SAI BABA with full faith and devotion and requested for his mercy. As my father stayed in my home town along with my wife and my mother so i asked my wife to give UDI mixed with milk in the night. I continued praying to BABA that please take care of my father.

Surprisingly BABA listen to my prayer and my father is now ok. He is feeling much better now. This is all because of BABA miracle and his mercy.

Moreover in last year BABA gifted me brand new car unexpectedly. He takes care of me and my family always. I am very much owed to BABA to shower his blessing on me and all other devotees.

I always prayed to BABA that i should be submissive always to his lotus feet.

Sai sister Chaitanya ji says: Hi Sai devotees. I am Shirdi Sai devotee since 5 years.

I feel him he is always with me. I1 wanted to share some of his experiences with us. Five years back when my fiancee was in trouble regarding his PR in Australia. With that delay our marriage was getting late. Meanwhile my cousin was getting married who is younger to me. My parents started worrying regarding this. Till then i never believed Baba. My sister who is Baba devotee told me about his miracles and his love towards devotees. I was very much impressed and thought of reading his "Sai Leelamrutham". On that night Baba came in my dreams along with that book and some sweets, blessed me and went away. The very next day i went to Baba temple and prayed him about my marriage problem and asked him to confirm my engagement date in a week.

From that day i started reading book and within 1 week my fiancee got PR and at the same day my parents and his parents fixed engagement date. I was very much thankful to Baba for his many miracles in my life.

Sai sister Dipali ji says: JAI SAI RAM HETALJI, I WOULD LIKE TO WRITE A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE MY FAMILY AND I HAD ON OUR THIS TRIP TO SHIRDI.

We were driving down to Shirdi from Mumbai beginning this month. I just asked my hubby which colour VASTRA will OUR SAI be wearing when we enter his DARBAAR? HE SAID any shade of PINK. I asked the kids my son said blue and daughter pink (pink being her favourite). Then they asked me "Ma you tell us which COLOUR will BABA be wearing?" I said any shade of GREY OR SILVER.

You wont believe it when we reached the DARBAAR for HIS darshaas, HE was wearing A BEAUTIFUL COMBINATION of PINK AND SILVER AND looking radiant AS EVER.

We all just looked at each other and knew that BABA was sitting in the car with us and BABA IS EVERYWHERE. We got very excited.

I thank MY Baba for everything HE has given my family and me and prayer that HIS EVER-LOVING HAND be on our heads. BABA WE LOVE U.

We Owe Our Motherhood To Sai Baba - Sai Devotee Deepthi and Anonymous Devotee

2010-02-26T11:08:00.016+05:30

Jai Sai Ramji, Dear Devotee Readers, In this post i am sharing two experiences which deal with same subject matter.

Sai sister Deepthi ji says: I want to post this article to encourage pregnant ladies, who are experiencing critical complications in their pregnancy.

I had a baby boy 5 months back. He is a healthy baby and we are enjoying a lot with him. I want to post my experience during pregnancy on how Baba helped me. I am residing in US. After 1 year of my married life, I conceived and we both were very happy. Till 5th month every check up and every test came out to be normal. During 5th month I had an ultrasound scan. We both went to the lab with great enthusiasm to see our baby. After scanning the doctor told us everything is normal regarding baby growth but they found echogenic bowel and intra-cardiac echogenic foci in heart which are markers for baby to have down syndrome. She told us to do some tests. We both gave the blood samples and waited for the results.They told us it will take 3 weeks to get the results. I used go to the pooja room and cry. One day in pooja room i found SAI SATCHARITRA book, it was sent by my brother almost 6 months back from India. To get rid of tension I started to do 3 weeks Parayana. In these 3 weeks all the results came out to be normal. On the last day of parayan we went for follow up scanning with all test results. In scanning again they found same markers. Doctor told that as all the test results were normal, the reason for the markers is not clear. She told us the only option is termination. We asked her without reason/clear understanding, how can we terminate, so she refereed us to the Head of the Department in Radiology at Stanford. We got an appointment with him after 1 week. I got angry on all Gods including Sai. We both were in a big confusion. Two days before appointment I started reading SAI SATCHARITRA and completed by the day we had to go to the hospital.We both went with a decision that they will suggest us for termination We went to the scanning room with full tension. The radiologist came and did scanning. After scanning he told us to do some tests, based on the results he told that he will give us a call. The next day he called my husband and told him that since all the tests results were normal there is no need for termination, and the markers will get get resolved by itself before birth of the baby. He told us before delivery he will do one more scanning, in case if they find the problem after birth, they will do a minor surgery which is not a major problem. We both felt very happy and that day was Thursday, so I asked my husband to take me to Saibaba temple, i prayed him that i will do 5 weeks parayan during which i asked him to resolve the problem for the baby, i had ultrasound scanning every month. Every time the doctor would say the problem still exists. Till 8th month the problem did not resolve, mean while i completed 5 weeks parayan. After completing the parayan i had scanning in routine lab. They told us that they still find the problem. I was very disappointed, but still i had belief in God. I left everything to Sai Baba, since problem didn't resolved i had to go to radiologist in 8th month. He did scanning and told us that the problem has resolved and we are going to have a healthy baby. I went to the temple immediately and told thanks to Sai Baba. I promised him that after delivery i will bring baby and put him on His feet.

Anonymous Devotee says: Hi Hetal,
Om Sai Ram!
Sai Baba is the most merciful. Each and every day He showers His grace abundantly. Here I share how He has blessed my pregnancy and our baby. The narration is quite long, please read patiently :)

I wish to let everyone know that if we have Sai Baba with us, nothing is impossible. If He wants to grant us something, nothing in the world can take it away from us.

I am a Telugu girl who fell in love with and married her Bengali colleague with Sai's grace in Feb 2008. Since marriage, I have not enjoyed good health because of a very recurrent and painful Urinary Tract Infection. Despite consulting many doctors and trying many medicines, nothing was of help. I had given up hope and left this to the biggest doctor of all, Sai Baba thinking that He has His own plan for me and He wants me to undergo this suffering. I had decided to suffer until He came to my rescue.

Naturally because of my health scenario, a baby was the last thing on our minds. But due to Sai's grace, I conceived (and was unaware of it) last September 2008. One afternoon I dreamt that I was happy and pregnant with a big belly. When I woke up, I took it as a positive sign for the future. A few days later, my husband also saw a dream in which he was asking me to take the pregnancy test. He shared this dream with me when he woke up. Out of disbelief, I took the pregnancy test at home and it turned out to be positive. I was still not convinced. I prayed to Baba and told Him that I would open and read a random chapter from the Sai Satcharitra and if there is a mention of Baba granting issue to any devotee in that chapter, then I would believe the pregnancy kit.

I opened the chapter in which it was mentioned that Sai Baba had granted issue to Nana Saheb Dengle's family and ever since he was known to grant children to devotees. This removed the doubt in my mind and later the lab tests also confirmed that we were indeed expecting. Let me tell you why this is so surprising to me. I am hypothyroidic (this is known to cause infertility in many), obese and I have a cyst in my right ovary. All of these factors combined with the stress at work and the recurrent UTI make me the least likely candidate to conceive without difficulty. But when Sai decides something, it happens His way.

We were very grateful for the pregnancy but like any new expecting parent, I had my doubts about whether the baby would be carried to term and be healthy without me undergoing any untoward experiences midway. UTIs are known to cause miscarriages. However, during my pregnancy I had the following three dreams of Sai Baba:

First dream: I saw myself on the delivery table, undergoing an operation. I also saw that a small baby was delivered and the doctors were busy with him. Suddenly, the doctor asked me to look up and see a calendar which I did. From the calendar, I saw Sai Baba emerging from light. From Sai Baba, also came Lord Krishna (distinguishable because of his peacock feather). In between Sai Baba and Lord Krishna, stood a small cute boy with curly hair. Sai Baba lifted His hand and blessed me and the baby with His Abhaya Hastha. I was naturally very grateful for this sign and ever since I stopped worrying about the pregnancy and the baby's health, thinking that if Sai Baba has blessed us, everything would happen according to His will.

Second dream: I saw my husband and I walking from one house to another. Suddenly, in one of the houses we were in, I saw a puja room and entered it. There, I saw a huge Sai Baba idol and many devotees. I called my husband also to join me. I do not remember what happened to the idol, but there was a priest who appeared in front of us. In my mind, I knew that this priest was none other than Sai Baba Himself and I was not able to look at Him in the eye. He asked my husband and me to sit next to each other, and began to recite some mantra and asked us to repeat it. He told me specifically, "This mantra is not for you. It is for the benefit of the person who is inside you". The dream ended there.

Third dream: I saw my mother and I going to a small and dingy Sai Baba temple along with some other friends. There was a small winding staircase which we took and reached the top of the temple, where many grateful devotees whom Sai had blessed with children came to offer their prayers. These devotees put up pictures of their children next to the photo of Sai Baba as their form of thanksgiving.

Due to these dreams, I knew this pregnancy was totally Sai's gift to us. My health was also fine all along and I continued to go to office until the eight month. During the last month, my doctor was quite sure that I would get gestational diabetes. Sai Baba again came to the rescue and all my sugar and blood pressure levels were normal until the delivery.

On June 12th, 2009, I delivered a healthy and normal baby boy (albeit without the curly hair) with Sai Baba's grace. The baby beat all odds only because he is Sai Baba's miracle.

I wish to share this experience with all devotees who are trying to conceive or who are pregnant. With Sai Baba, nothing is impossible. We are greatly indebted to Him, the one and only.

With best wishes to all,
Sai devotee.

Sai Always Listens To True Prayer - Sai Devotee Ajit

2010-02-18T04:37:00.003+05:30

Forwarding herewith experience of Sai brother Ajit ji.

Ajit ji says: Hi to all Sai Baba's devotees. I would like to share my and wife’s experience which took place just recently 2 months back. As a profession i am software engineer working in California, USA. As some must be knowing nowadays there is economy problems going in USA due to recession. I was working for company A for last 4 years. It was all ok till September'09, but in September our company too got hit by recession and they asked majority employees to find new job. At the same time my grandmother in India was not keeping well. She was around 90 years. She was very much attached to me and even i too attached to her a lot. Doctors in India told that my grand mom’s health is not going to improve at this stage and it will continue to be the same. So my mom called me and asked to visit India so that my grand mom can see me. I and my wife was very much tensed after we got these news regarding my granny. But as i lost my job i was out of status of my visa and cannot live USA if I would have I cannot come back.

So i need to find another job very soon through new company and make my visa status active again. There were other hurdles in the way to get job like my passport have got expired at same time, my previous visa stamp was expired and very less calls for interview to get new job. Also one major problem was even though we find new company, sponsoring my visa it takes around 3-4 months to get approved.

So we were tensed it was our critical discussion time either to meet grand mom and leave USA soon (means very thin chances to come back on new visa) OR stay in USA till get new visa but it was risky since that case i could not meet my grand mom. Since i and my wife are both sincere devotees of Sai Baba we always use to pray to make us get new job and go India to meet grand mom. I always used to pray Baba to make my trip to India and make my granny meet us. We
decided to book my ticket to India since i gave priority to meet grand mom compared to this job situation.

With all such tough time, one of my colleague referred one company. I called them immediately and as per Baba's grace they were ready to file my visa. But this was not enough since visa filling takes months to be approved.

Anyways we decided to go with that company put Baba's Udhi to all my documents and send them for approval process under premium. And what a miracle with 5-6 days we got approval notice saying my visa is approved. I and my wife didn’t believe at first after getting the email from attorney’s that visa is approved so fast. We were so happy and thankful to Baba.

Now second part of story which made our faith more strong. All this approval process and job hunt went for almost 2 months mean while my granny had stopped in taking any food. She was just surviving on water for almost 1 and half month and completely on bed rest. My mom and sister used to call and said she is just waiting for me to arrive in India and there is nothing in her body left to be alive. Finally we reached India on 15th November and were able to see my granny and even she looked at us but due to serious health she didn’t spoke any word with us. She was happy to see us there. It was so relief for me to see her. And sadly she passed away on 18th Nov just one day after we were there. She survived just on water for 2 months which was miracle and Baba made us to visit her.

So Baba had helped us in those very tough days to gives us strength and support to face the situation. Also my visa went well and was back to California after a month. This article is dedicated in faith of Shri Sai Baba.

OM SHRI SAI BABA

Sai Baba Settled Our Monetary Issue - Sai Devotee Seema

2010-02-16T18:23:00.009+05:30

Sharing with you all experience of Sai sister Seema ji.

JAI SAI RAM Hetal Ji,
Today i want to share my another experience with all of you. Can you please post my experience on your website. Thanks a lot again for posting my experience.
We recently bought two plots (piece of lands). We didn't have enough money to make the payment for both plots. We submitted the payment for one plot in December but didn't have money to submit the another plot payment. Initially, i thought to take a loan from some bank. But when i confirmed about the loan payment from the bank, i got upset as they were charging very high interest. My only hope was our SAI MAA.

The last date of submitting the payment was 21st January, 2010. We asked for money to everyone but no body was ready to help us. We didn't know till 16th January's afternoon that how will we submit the payment for the plot. Suddenly, in the evening SAI JI suggested one person's name to my sister while she was performing SAI JI's pooja. When we called that person to borrow some money to make the payment then he got ready to help us. On sunday, he came to our residence and gave the required money to us. Even after taking that person's help, we were short of some money. On Monday afternoon one lady came to our place and gave the remaining amount to us. Actually that lady has to return our money back to us but we were not sure when we will be getting our money back. We went to the bank and prepared a draft to submit the payment and on tuesday we submitted the payment for the plot i.e. two days before the last date to submit of plot payment. One more thing, we are going to SHIRDI on 19th February and we submitted the payment on 19th January. Exactly one month before our SHIRDI trip. I am sure this couldn't be possible without SAI JI's help. Infact, SAI JI has submitted the plot payment for us.

By this way SAI JI has again helped us. I was sure initially that SAI JI will surely help us but since nothing positive was getting happened, i was loosing my faith on Him. But SAI JI again helped me. For me SAI JI is entire world and i am sure He will never leave us alone. I will share my another experience with all of you very soon.

Sai Baba Found A Mid Way For Me - Sai Devotee Laxmi

2010-02-11T08:02:00.010+05:30

In this post, i am sharing experience of Sai sister Laxmi ji

Laxmi ji says: Dear Hetalji,

Om Sai Ram! First of all I want to thank you for doing this great service. This is my first post here, i have been following your blogs and other devotee experiences for a long time. I am a frequent visitor of your site and thank you so much for giving us peace and bringing us closer to Baba with your work. Please publish my experience(s) on your blog I really feel happy everytime i read each and every experience of devotees. I am Sai devotee right from the childhood and Baba is taking care of me all the time. In India I used to visit BABA temple frequently. Few years ago I got married and moved to USA. Its been a long time i have been to sai temple the place where we live didn't have any BABA temples until recently. I was going through real difficult time recently and was wishing that I could go to BABA's temple and I think Baba can always read our minds. He made my husband search for the new temple which i never knew that it existed and with BABA's grace we went to the temple got Baba's dharshan and my hearts desire got fulfilled. When I visited the temple i felt so happy and I wanted to do something. The temple is still under construction and suddenly, I felt that i should donate some money for the construction and next day i told my husband and he was surprised but by evening he agreed and with Baba's grace everything went well and I could make donation.

The have experienced BABA's miracles in a my life. During college, during my marriage and kids and even now he is taking care of me. I want to share one of my most recent experiences, please feel free to make it short and post in your site. I have been working full time with kids and my family had been taking care of my kids for sometime. Now there is a situation my family has to go back to India and and I have to quit my job and take care of kids. I could not send them to daycare because of health issues and my family could not come over for some reasons and I really wanted to continue working and not leave my job for some time in this recession. In this situation I decided to quit my job and take care of kids and i was thinking in my heart will Baba help in is there an alternative that i can work without quitting my job. I prayed to Baba and left my problems to him and had faith that BABA will take care of me. I was prepared in my mind for anything. Three days back I went and told my manager about my personal issues and I told him why i cannot continue my job and he immediately told me don't worry we can work out in some way. I was surprised and there showed our BABA a path where i don't have to quit my job and at the same time take care of my kids and their health. My manager agreed to work from home option for some time and everybody agreed to that. I was really happy that i can continue working and at the same time be with my kids. I started working from home the very next day. This way BABA blessed me with this opportunity again and made this miracle in my life which i thought was impossible during this time of recession.

Thank you Baba for all the blessings. Please take care of all Sai devotees and make us walk in the right path. Be with us all the time. Please forgive me BABA if i have made any mistakes in my life intentionally or unintentionally if i have hurt somebody. Om Sai Ram..Thank you Hetal ji.

Baba Devotee
Laxmi.

Faith And Patience Are Important Virtues - Sai Devotee Deepu

2010-02-09T19:10:00.010+05:30

Before one month, an experience of anonymous Sai sister was shared on this blog. Few comments, after reading the experience were received, wherein Sai sister Deepu ji found some similarities in their circumstances. In fact she has replied in reference to that earlier experience and i am sharing it with you all.

Deepu ji says: Dear Anonymous Sai Devotee,

I read your experiences and it was very heart touching. I felt really very attached to your experiences as I could relate myself to them little bit. Even me and my fiance had similar situations. We both stay in USA and even our marriage depends on our financial settlement. I dont know the meaning of your dreams but want to share some experiences we had in our life which can help you. I cannot really analyze your dreams but let me try to explain you our situations with Baba's grace.

Me and my fiance, both did Masters and graduated in Dec 2008. We had a talk about our marriage with our families, both agreed but we decided to marry only after getting jobs. We tried so hard, we could not find any jobs as it was a period of recession. My fiance had strong faith in BABA, even I am a Sai Devotee from my childhood. But the only difference was my faith used to waver based on the situations. I used to blame Baba for my bad luck (umemployement) and the delay in the marriage. No matter how hard we tried we did not find any hope in getting jobs. I used to cry a lot, sit in front of Baba all the time, questioned him a lot. I almost went into depression. No signs of positive help from him. In the meanwhile we both did part-time jobs for survival. So many months passed, almost like 10 months passed. In these 10 months we hardly got any interview calls. Even our parents were unhappy, because not even one of us have job for survival after marriage. Even we could not ask them about our marriage as we know that everybody will laugh at us. But due to the blessings of Baba and unwavered faith of my fiance, finally he got a call for the interview. My fiance met a person at his part-time job and he explained all the situation to him. That person said, "Ok come to my place, I will take your interview and will give you a job". He gave some address and left. Next week my fiance called him about the date of the interview, that person told to come the very next day. I was very happy because there was every chance of him to get a job.

Next day morning (On the day of the Interview) my fiance had a dream. The dream goes on like this " My fiance was lost somewhere, he could not find the route to his place. He was worrying very much, suddenly Baba came on a Bicycle and said to my fiance that don't worry. I will take you to your destination. He followed Baba and after some time, my fiance saw his parents. He was very happy to be back. Again after some time, he followed Baba to some place. There he saw a street full of Sai Baba pictures. Whereever he saw it was Sai Babaji's picture. Suddenly Sai on the bicycle vanished". He awoke from the dream, he was so happy to get such a dream on the interview day. He told me about the dream, even I felt very very happy. I thought all our difficulties came to an end. The same day when he went to the interview, he was offered some sales position and that too door to door. He was shocked, and even I was very depressed as we expected some better job because we did Master's (MS). I asked Baba "Is this the only thing we have in our fate?" I told him we will accept any job which he shows and will move on. Even my fiance determined himself that he will do that job, if its the Baba's wish. My fiance had no experience in sales in his lifetime and it was too tough to convince americans about anything being an Indian. Day-by-day he was losing hope and thought he will be fired even from that job. I prayed Sai Babaji, to help him, support him, give him confidence in doing sales. Miraculously his sales improved in such a way that he was doing better than american sales men. Even I felt happy because of the help from Babaji. A month passed on. Now we were getting enough money. The only thing which we were worried about was, both of our parents dont know that it was a sales job. Even we did not disclose it to them as they will feel low. Like this we were continuing our life. Suddenly my fiance got an interview call from one of the best company in USA. My fiance's brother's friend was working there. He was leaving to India for marriage purpose and he wanted to refer someone he knows. He chose my fiance for that. We felt very very happy, but the only thing was it was a different technology and its not easy to get a job. It was not a general phone - interview, it was a face-to-face interview which is even more tougher. But my fiance kept faith, even I was praying a lot for that job. It was only Baba who could help us. He studied only for one day about that complete new technology, and next day he got a call from that manager who was taking the interview. Miraculously he did well. Even I was sitting beside him, even I was amazed to see him to do so well. The very next day he was called for another round (this time face-to-face) interview to a different state (Newyork - we stay in Chicago). He booked the flight, attended the interview. The same day evening he go confirmed. This was in August 2009. Here I need to say one more thing, the job he got initially was only for 3 months, but our Babaji extended for a year more. Now we are very very happy and even our marriage is going to take place this year (2010).

Even I am waiting for my first job. It has been one and a half year since I am jobless. But I have faith in Baba that he will show me the right path. Though I lose my patience and faith sometimes, but my Babaji who cares for me a lot, pulls me to him, makes me read Satcharitra and keep me focused. He fills my eyes with tears of happiness all the time. Waiting for his graceful blessings on me. I will post even that miracle in this blog, once I get job.

So, from my personal experience, Sai taught me to have patience and faith. Only because of my fiance's strong faith, Baba blessed him with such a beautiful dream and a good career. Even I am learning his greatness from the blogs and his miracles. Baba will bless you all. Just dont lose your faith which you have in him. Om Sai Ram

Miracles of Sai Baba at Shibpur Sai Baba Mandir

2010-01-24T19:56:00.026+05:30

Sharing with you all experience by Sai brother Biswanath ji and few of the devotees whom he interviewed residing in Nadia district in West Bengal and who visit Shibpur Sai Baba Mandir .

Om Sai,

I would like to narrate my experiences during my second visit to Sai Baba temple at Sibpur, Nadia district in West Bengal.

It will be a great service if you post this article in your blog for the benefit of all Sai devotees.

Like my previous darshan of Sai Baba in this temple, I felt the similar glow in Sai Baba’s face. He seemed to me sitting there alive, smiling at all the devotees.

There are aratis held 4 times a day - early morning at 4:45 AM, noon arati at 12 PM, evening arati from 6:30 PM till 9:30 PM and the night arati at 9PM.

The evening arati is splendid, goes on for 3 hours continuously. The devotees who are very poor farmers of the village come regularly during the aratis. I spotted a dog and the locals told me that this dog is present everytime during the arati. He has not missed a single arati.

During the evening arati I had the desire to take a small video of the arati and keep it to myself. An inner voice told me to stop taking the video and concentrate on the Puja and Arati. I did not listen and continued taking the videos. I tried to take two videos during the evening arati period. When the arati was over I tried checking how the videos have come. Lo! To my surprise there were blank screens. None of the videos were recorded. I understood that I have to take Baba’s permission to click his picture here. Next morning during the Kakad arati I asked Baba for his permission to take his morning arati video. I looked at Baba and he seemed to be smiling. Happily I took the video. It was recorded this time! I understood that nothing in this universe moves without Baba’s permission and grace.

I was hearing on my way about the various leelas Baba was performing to his devotes in this village. I thought of meeting those devotees directly and hear from them about the miracles here. I met the poor villagers and compiled all the experiences they had. Let me state here the Shibpur village Sai Baba devotees experiences here.

Sometimes in Sep 2009 a PWD Engineer’s wife called up the President of this temple Amit Biswas. She told him that she has a happy married life but this life seems to be vacant without a child. They are married for 10 years now without an issue. The couple had visited many doctors and have taken all the medical help required but of no use. One day while coming in a vehicle she has seen Sai Baba’s picture in a shop. She asked Amit whether she can have a darshan of Sai Baba and offer puja to HIM. Amit invited him to the temple to offer Puja to Sai Baba. When she had the darshan of Baba she cried bitterly before Baba and prayed for a child. Baba blessed him with a beautiful child 10 years after their marriage.

Guddu Gurung and Saina Guru are from Nepal. They are working in this village as watchman. They were childless. One by one four children died before their birth. Doctor’s said that Saina had some internal problem in ovary and she was not able to bear child. They consulted many doctors, finally went to Vellore for treatment. But still no cure. Finally they got a beautiful daughter after offering Puja to Sai Baba in Sibpur temple.

One day the daughter of the priest of the temple saw that her lower portion of the face has been blackened. There were black spots on this part of the face. The priest was worried. He did not consult any doctor. Rather with full faith and devotion he smeared Baba’s Udi on her daughter’s face and prayed to Baba to remove these black spots from her daughter’s face. Miraculously after 7 days these black spots vanished on its own and the girl looked normal like before.

A child was born to a couple after 14 years of their marriage after offering Puja to Sai Baba at Sibpur temple.

One day a devotee came for Baba’s darshan. He had severe stomach pain for quite a few days. The pain was so much that it was impossible for him to sit in this temple. With great devotion he prayed to Baba and took His UDI mixed in water. Within minuted the stomach pain vanished and he never felt that pain any more.

There was one Sai devotee who lives in a nearby village called Gopinathpur. He had paralysis. He could not move his limbs. He consulted many doctors, took physiotherapy courses but of no use. With great difficulty and full devotion, this devotee paid darshan to Sai Baba at Sibpur temple. On his return slowly his paralysis was gone and now he can run and walk like normal humans.

A devotee named Sunil Das had a 16 days old son. Suddenly this child stopped taking any type of food and was continuously crying. This went on for 3 days with no food and continuous crying and shivering. Doctor’s medicine failed to cure this child. Finally they brought this child to Sai Baba, laid him near Baba’s seat and the priest touched the child’s head taking Baba’s name and applied Udi on his forehead. He child immediately stopped crying and was rather smiling. He drank the entire bottle of milk in from of everyone present there and started behaving normally.

An old devotee of Sai Baba named Tarit Pal had a daughter who had her face paralysed. Tarit took her daughter to many doctors but none could cure her. Finally Tarit started bringing his daughter to Sai Baba’s temple every day and applied Baba’s Udi on that portion of her face which was paralysed. Slowly her paralysis was gone and recovered completely by the grace of Baba when all medical sciences failed.

There are many instance in this village where girls get married after offering Puja to Sai Baba at Sibpur temple.

Balai Ghosh of Krishnanagar was in deep poverty. He did not have the money to meet the basic means. He tried to get a job but could not succeed. He was totally frustrated and decided to end his life. Suddenly he got an inner message that if he donates Rs. 500/- to Sai Baba temple in Sibpur his bad days will come to an end. This poor fellow now has nothing left with him save his bicycle. He decided to sell of this bicycle for Rs. 500 and donate this amount to Baba as dakshina. He sold the bicycle for Rs. 500/-, went to Sai Baba temple a Sibpur and kept Rs. 500/- at Sai Baba’s feet and returned home. After exactly seven days a distant relative of Balai came to meet him. Balai has never seen this relative. He offered Balai to join him in his business as partner. Balai need not to invest any capital for this. This relative of Balai had business of manufacturing and repairing batteries. Business grew well. After one year Balai decided to find out how much money he could profit from this business. His banker told him that he has made a profit of Rs. 5 lakhs in one year. This is the chamatkar of Baba. Baba has turned this beggar to a rich man today. Balai offered Rs. 500/- to Baba and Baba returned him 1000 times that money to him. Om Sai Ram.

At least 3 to 4 devotees told me that they have seen at midnight between 2 Am – 2:30 AM that a round ball shaped object, brightly illuminated swayed between the top of the Neem tree to the top of the temple. This ball swayed 2 to 3 times and then suddenly vanished.

Recently a week back evening Aarati was going on in the temple. The President of the Shibpur Sai Baba temple Amit Biswas looked out side the temple and saw Sai Baba waring his dhoti, kurta and Kafni madly dancing to the tune of Kirtan. Sai Baba was dancing till the Kirtan was going on and then suddenly vanished. This incident was told to me By Amit Biswas himself.

A lady suddenly discovered that her husband was having illicit relationship with a neighbourhood girl. She never expected this thing to happen after 15 years of their marriage. The husband was not interested to stay with her any more and used to quarrel. The lady was morose and cried. She went to Sai Baba and prayed to him to return her husband back to her. If her husband comes back to her snapping all relationship with the girl then the lady promised to offer Payasam to Baba. After one month she got her husband back. He has snapped all relationship with the neighbourhood girl.

The temple is getting built with the donation of Sai devotees. One great Sai Baba devotee Shri K V Ramani donated huge sum during he start of the temple. One day it so happened that the ceiling work has to be done next day and Rs. 5000/- was required to be paid to the masons. If the masons do not get the money they will not work. That night not a single penny was there with the temple authorities. They were worried how to resume the temple work the next day. From where to arrange Rs.5000/-. They kept faith in Baba and went to sleep. Next day morning a person came with his family to have darshan of Baba at the Shibpur temple. He has come from Dubai and heard about this Sai Baba temple from a friend in Kolkata. He paid darshan to Baba and did Puja. Then he signed a cheque of Rs. 5001/- and gave to the temple authorities as dakhina to Baba. When Baba is there why take tensions on your head! Such is the leela of Baba.

Cows in the village suffering from Anthrax gets cured after drinking water mixed with Baba’s udi. A cow gave birth to a calf after 6 years when udi was smeared on his head and udi mixed in water was offered to the cow.

Every year during the annual festival of Sai Baba temple at Sibpur a gentle man Samir Bhattacharjee takes the responsibility of arranging food for 10,000 people at the congregation. Last year this person was ill. He had open heart surgery and was not in a position to take this huge responsibility. The temple authorities thought of celebrating the festival in a small way this year. Somehow at the last minute the temple President Amit Biswas appealed to the devotees to contribute whatever they can for the feast. Suddenly a huge gathering of people came with rice, pulses and vegetables. They came with so much of these items that not only 10,000 people were fed but many took the food items home as prasadam. Baba is omnipotent and omnipresent. It is difficult to understand his leelas!

I stated in my earlier mail that the President of this temple Amit Biswas had a dream of Sai Baba. Sai Baba ordered him to contruct this temple and Baba said that he will arrange all means to get this temple constructed. I persuaded Amit Biswas to tell me more about the dreams and he narrated like this, "I saw in my dreams a bright illumination of lights… as if thousand and thousands neon lamps were lit. I was bewildered. Then I heard a voice saying I am Sai Baba. Your great grandfather used to worship me in this temple every day for hours together. I was very happy with him. After his demise there is no puja. The place has become a jungle. I am longing for devotion and Puja here once again." Then Sai Baba said these things in the dream -
1. I order you to construct my temple and offer me puja every day.

2. Whoever stands near this Neem tree will feel my presence here. The Tree will remove all his sins.

3. For the construction of this temple I will be present to perform my work. The temple construction work should not stop.

4. None other than my Real Devotee will be able to donate for this temple.

5. Whoever come to this temple with full devotion and have my darshan will get all his/her wishes fulfilled.

Amit said that Sai Baba told many more things in this dream but he cannot make them public.

Many temples of Sai Baba came up with the blessing of Baba and due to the donations by devotees. But this is the only temple which is getting constructed in a big way by the ORDER given by Sai Baba.

Om Sai Ram. Om Sacchidananda Sad Guru Sai Nathaya Namah!

May Sai bless us all!

Regards

Bishwanath Banerjee

Unforgettable Last Glimpse of Shirdi Sai Baba - Sai Devotee Puneet

2010-01-22T09:36:00.017+05:30

Few experiences which i receive are sometimes inter-related to one another. While reading other's experiences, the readers find similarity with their own experiences and are encouraged to share their own experiences. Here is such an experience. About one month before an experience of Sai brother Kishor ji was shared as to how he faced shortage of money in Shirdi and was helped by Sai Baba. This experience inspired Sai brother Puneet ji to share his own experience of similar nature.

Puneet ji says : I just finished reading brother Kishor's experience on how he managed to get cash from UTI ATM. It reminded me of my experience when I went to Shirdi first time in June 2009.

It was the first time in June 2009 when I went to Shirdi. Ahhh... such wonderful darshan I got there. In fact, my experience started in the train itself. Just half an hour before when I was about to reach Kopargaon station, I got a call from one of my very good client that why didn't I tell him that I have left for Shirdi. He was so kind to me, that he got me to attend aartis from the front, through VIP entry. I thank him and of course our Deva ji for such wonderful darshan. (Although, I sometimes feel that I should not have used VIP route to take darshan, but then I leave that also to the marzi of Deva ji).

Now coming to my ATM related experience, the evening when I was about to leave, I didn't have any cash. I was on the main road, so I checked the UTI ATM, but (unfortunately) it was out of order. Then I checked another ATM (don't remember which Bank it was..its near to UTI ATM), but it was also not working. Then somebody reminded me of the ATM inside the Samadhi Mandir comlpex. Wow... I simply ran there, not just to take cash, but to have a last glimpse of our master Sai Baba from the window which shows His left side of the face... I got a chance to bow to Him in front of Him once again. Don't we feel like seeing our God again and again number of times?? I now feel that He wanted to say that listen kid, now you are going back doesn't mean that you should forget me.. I am with you, infact have been with you even when you were not aware of it. These small small miracles happen just to multiply our faith on God. (One may also read my first ever experience which I posted on 1st April 2009 on this blog. That time I had not even gone to Shirdi before.)

I want to say one more thing. Some events, good or bad, happen in our lives to change our life completely. Sainath is there to catch us in His arms when we are falling from Mount Everest. Lets all have full faith in Him and never let our attention shift away from Him. We all love you from the core of our hearts Deva. Lastly, I would like to wish everyone, A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.

JAI SAI RAM

Last month we faced two critical situation one to my near brother-in-law, very close to us, and second my daughter Riya’s admission in LKG.

Brother-in-Law is sincere devotee of SAI BABA. He was en-tour to BABADHAM (SHIV MANDIR in DEOGHAR, now in JHARKHAND) when he had severe pain in chest. After local checkup, he came to Delhi. As we are not financially strong, it was a challenge where to get doctor diagnosis. Taking SAI BABA's name he went to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital and was diagnosed and told that heart's three veins are blocked. One 90%, second 65% and third 80%. In two ways it can be cured - ballooning or by-pass surgery. Ballooning will require around Rs. 4 lacs and the patient can start day-to-day work in 7 days. By-pass surgery require around Rs. 1 lac and 45 days rest. We opted second option i.e. by-pass surgery.

We were very worried what will happen to Riya's admission. My son was studying in St Francis School, Indirapuram and we wanted her to be admitted in same school, so we had not applied for any other school.

My wife and we usually visit SAI DHAM MANDIR in NOIDA, we went to Mandir and asked BABA to do justice and get both work done. We put first priority to operation and second to admission.

By the grace of SAI BABA brother-in-law's by-pass surgery operation was successfully conducted and was discharged in four days (miracle). After 40 days of rest he joined his office work with double energy.

Riya's admission was in three phase, 1st - Written Test, 2nd - Lottery and 3rd - Interaction with Parents. Out of thousands of students by grace of SAI BABA Riya was selected in 1st Phase. All the serial numbers of selected students were written on small chits and kept in a glass jar. Twelve parents were called for picking of chits. This process was to select 110 confirmed admission and 10 waiting-list students. Process started 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110 names gone, but Riya’s number was not announced, I cannot tell you the trauma I felt while names were announced from the stage, but back of the mind I was confident that whatever BABA will do that will be the best. Waiting list 1, 2, 3, gone I dialed to my wife, 4 gone, she picked phone said hello, 5 gone, I told Riya's name was not selected in confirmed list, 6 gone, she was shocked, said why BABA has done this, 7 gone, I replied may be BABA has something else in His mind, 8 gone, wife replied but we needed this admission, Riya's number was announced, I told her BABA has accepted our pray and she is selected.

So BABA has accepted our both requests, Riya also got admission. We later on understood we had asked operation as our first priority so BABA put more force on that. We know BABA is the ultimate destination and Marg-darshak.

We should not force BABA to do what we want, we should wait for BABA's decision and direction for whatever we do in our life.

With this I conclude my story.

JAI SAI RAM, OM SAI RAM.

JAI SAINATH

Our Parayan Bore Fruit - Sai Devotees : Shilpa and Nisha

2010-01-17T21:11:00.010+05:30

In this post i am sharing two experiences which surprisingly deal with the same subject matter.

First Experience by Sai sister Shilpa ji

Sai sister Shilpa ji says : Dear Hetalji,

Om Sai ram. I am Shilpa Tiwari from Mathura. I am married and staying with husband in Canada. I am a regular visitor of your blog and really appreciate all the good work and services you are doing. Thanks a lot for providing such a wonderful blog which has helped us in various ways to get closer to Baba.

Baba came into our (me and my husband) lives before 2 years through a friend of mine. Since then Baba has blessed us with many leelas and this is one of those. I had promised Baba to post my experience on your blog and here it is.

This happened four weeks ago, when I got up in the morning I had sore throat and little cough. For 2-3 days I ignored it and didn’t take any medication other than few home remedies. After that, it turned into some infection and the cough increased. Because of the irritation in the throat and cough I couldn’t sleep in the night for 2 days continuously. Then I went to the doctor (which I didn’t want to) and doctor prescribed some medicines based on symptoms. Though medicines reduced the symptoms, it didn’t cure me completely.

After a week of taking medicines, again the cough got severe, there was throat irritation and also breathlessness. I was really distressed due to lack of sleep and pain.

Meanwhile, one of the Thursdays I prayed to baba for His help. I started saptah parayan on the same day, used to chant Baba's name as much as possible. Also, started taking Udi mixed with water at night. From the third day of the parayan, the cough started reducing along with other symptoms. I completely got cured by seventh day of parayan due to Baba’s grace.

Thank you baba for everything. Please be always with us and bless us.

Jai Sai Ram.

Regards,
Shilpa

Second Experience by Sai sister Nishi ji

Sai sister Nishi ji says : Sai Ramji Hetal ji,

First of all, i want to tell you that you are doing a very fantastic job and i am very thankful to you for that.

Initially, i was not a devotee of Sai and as such was not much familiar about Him. In fact when i was in India, i used to visit Shirdi with my parents, but not with faith. I started believing in Sai after i came to Canada, after some experiences.

I would like to share one of those experience with all Sai devotees. Few days back, i was suffering with severe cold, cough and fever and none of the medications were working. Because of that, i could not sleep during the night. My condition was worsening day by day, i could not breath, i used to cry in front of Sai during the night when everyone was asleep. I prayed to Sai to forgive me if have done anything wrong. I even told him that i would start doing a one week parayan, if my condition gets better.

And to my surprise, in the morning, i was feeling much better. I could even sleep that night. It was really a miracle. I am very thankful to Sai for listening to my prayers. I am still looking for a good job and i am sure, Saibaba has something good in store for me.

Omsairam

Sai Baba Entered My Life On His Own Accord - Sai Devotee Sindhusai

2010-01-16T19:34:00.011+05:30

Sharing with you all experience of Sai brother Sindhusai ji.

Dear Madam,

I am grateful for this website that provides me with an opportunity to share my thoughts regarding Shri Shirdi Sai Baba. I had known about him since my teenage years as there was a Sai Baba temple near my home and I used to visit it once a while. I do not remember who told me about this temple or when, but I was impressed by the life-like marble statue and the benevolent eyes. I had always been aware of this Saint's great powers but really did not know much about Him or His life until recently.

Life throws a lot of good and bad at us. We rejoice when we are successful and things seem to be going our way and feel dejected when they do not turn out to our liking. Like winter follows summer and vice versa, happy days follow miserable ones, only to bring back happy days again. What stands us in good stead is our devotion to Truth and God and Saint or a Sadguru. After so many upheavals in my career finally, I thought I had found my niche where I thought I'd like to stay until I retire. Things were going well smoothly for almost eight years. Now the promise of a secure career is gone. The job is still there but insecure with no hope beyond January 2010. During the happy times, I had not thought much about Saint Baba, as is human wont, other than placing flowers at his feet along with rest of the Gods. Nothing brings us closer to God than trouble and misery. And for this I am thankful. For I picked up a copy of Sai Baba's life history and started reading it in the hope that it will give me some relief. I also read a great deal about Him online. Initially with some skepticism, some hopes He'll provide a miraculous relief - may be. Later on for the real affection it had inspired in my heart for this Godly saint; for His compassion in taking on Himself other's ailments, for His care in feeding the hungry, for His immediate response to life's numerous little problems. The more I read, the more I am convinced that He had entered my life of His own accord and that probably was the reason why He has made my job insecure. Irrespective of the outcome in January 2010, I pray to Him to guide me and sustain my love for Him. I suffered from severe toothache over the weekend before an important presentation at work two weeks back. The pain was so much that I lost all hope of giving this presentation the next week and was about to cancel it and prepare for the tooth to be extracted instead. Then I took the Udi prasad which I had obtained from Shirdi temple, and needless to say, the pain vanished with just one application and I gave the presentation to an admiring audience. If I had ever doubted Your love for me and all creatures, dear Baba, please forgive me as a mother would forgive her erring child and bless me as You always do. Please enter into every suffering soul's life, just as You entered mine, and give them the coolness of Your Compassion.

Sai Devotee.

Sai Baba Is Always With Us - Anonymous Sai Devotee

2010-01-12T11:33:00.023+05:30

First of all let me share with you few sweet lines written by one of my Sai brothers who wishes to be anonymous.

Teri Chahton Ka Aisa Hua Hai Asar Baba,
Jidhar Dekhta Hoon Ab Tu Hi Nazar Aata Hai Baba,
Darshan Ko To Pehle Bhi Aata Tha Jaane Kyu,
Ab To Bus Milna Julna Chahta Hoon Baar-Baar Baba.
Shirdi To Pehle Bhi Gaya Tha, Jaane Kitni Baar
Ab To Tera Nagar Bhi Lagta Hai Apna Ghar Baba

In this post i am sharing experience of a Sai sister who does not want her name to be disclosed.

She says : Sai Ram Hetalji i reside in Delhi. I started worshiping BABA after meeting a stranger in the train last year. She asked me to observe Thursday fast it will help me to get a good job & i collected all the information about Sai Baba from your blogs. I must say your blogs are such platforms for Sai devotees which gives us the opportunity to associate as a Sai family. This is true that i became a Sai devotee after reading your blogs thnanks a lot for such a wonderful gift to Sai devotees.

Hetalji i would like to share my experiences with all, it is long but you can edit it where required & please don't disclose my name & mail Id.

Sai Ram to all

My association with Sai Baba goes back to past 1 year when i was traveling for my hometown, i met a lady who was a devotee of Sai Baba. She started talking to me and told that her whole family observes Sai Vrat & this is very much fruitful and Baba fulfills all the wishes of His devotees. I was in the last semester of my MBA but due to recession facing problems in getting a good job. After coming back from my home-town, i planned to observe the Sai Vrat from coming Thursday and purchased Sai Vrat Katha book. I observed the fast from next Thursday with lots of happiness in my mind. That was the time when i started coming closer to our beloved Baba. After one Thursday i wanted to know much about Baba & surfed on internet to gather much information & came across your blogs which undoubtedly helped me to became a true Sai devotee & provided me with all the information about Baba. Every day i use to read experiences of devotees & gather information about Baba & used to tell everything to my husband. One Thursday i got the opportunity to visit Lodhi Road Sai Baba temple which is very much famous in Delhi. This was the first time when me & m y husband visited a Sai temple. We were so happy that day. Day by day i was feeling a strong association with Baba. It was the time when we really needed Baba's help because my husband's business was not doing well & i was also jobless. In April'09 i was reading a experience in your blog while reading this thought came in my mind that observing fast may not be enough to please Baba, so i decided to quit my favourite food rice until i get the job & my husband's business settles down & then i will offer rice to Baba in Shirdi then only i would eat rice. I kept observing the fast & praying to Baba. I completed 11 Thursdays and then i did the Udyapana by distributing the food & Sai Vrat Katha books in Sai temple. Till that time i had a small picture of Sai Baba. I wanted to have an idol of Baba at my home. I purchased Baba idol with His Singhasana (throne) from Sai temple. I wished that my husband can do the Sthapana (installation) of Baba at our home as my husband has lost his faith in Baba. He just came to temple to accompany me. Baba listened the voice of my heart & some circumstances arose & we had a fight & i packed all the God & Goddess photo along with small temple we have at our home. I stopped talking to my husband. I went to the kitchen somehow my husband realised my faith in Baba & when i entered in the room. I saw my husband placing Baba in the temple & worshiping him. I was surprised & thanked Baba for listening to my heart's wish. At the same time i went for so many interviews but nothing went positive anywhere, day by day i was losing hope but every time some incident took place which made me feel that Baba is there to help us. My husband had lost his faith on Baba and he used to tell me not to do any fast & worship. I used to talk to Baba to make my husband realise His presence. Everything was going negative for both of us. One day i came to know about Sai Satcharitra parayan. I was searching for Sai Satcharitra. I came to know about free delivery of holy book through this blog. I started parayan from next Thursday with lots of happiness & hope in my heart but again nothing turned positive for us. One day we planed to go to Shirdi & easily we got the tickets in peak season of June. I was so happy as i was going to Shirdi for the first time when i reached to Kopergaon station i had tears in my eyes and happiness in my heart even my husband was happy too. We reached Shirdi in the afternoon & went for darshan in the evening & arti. We prayed to Baba to provide us with a proper life settlement which is not possible without my job & my husband's business. I promised Baba to offer my first month salary in Shirdi. We went for Kakad arti in the morning next day. We both prayed for the same. Here i would like to mention that we married without our parent's permission. Even our parents are not aware with our marriage because we both belong to different casts & our family would have never allowed us for the marriage. We planed to talk to our families after a proper settlement so that our parents cannot oppose.

But situations were becoming worst day by day. Me and my husband were losing our faith in Sai Baba but i always kept in my mind Baba's words Shraddha & Saburi and talked to Baba in my lonely times & cried to help us. One day my husband had a major cut in his palm. Due to pain, he was not able to sleep. I took a pinch of holy Udi and applied on my husband's forehead & the pain vanished away miraculously. My husband slept. Next morning i asked my husband about Udi Ma's miracle & he accepted it. I started observing the Thursday fast again but still i was not able to complete this fast. Every time i observe the fast & could not continue due to different reasons. The time was passing but we could not stand on our feet again. Our hope was losing. I used to complain Baba. My husband stopped worshiping Baba & asked me to do so but i asked him to have faith in Baba. He is there to take care of us. One day i got an interview call from one of the good MNC's. I went for the first round, everything was good but again nothing positive came to us. After a month when we had lost the hope for that interview i got call for 2nd round. I was suffering from jaundice & was not feeling well. But i went for the same. We both were very much hopeful as interview was good. I was supposed to get the feedback within next 3-4 days. Again i didn't get any positive feedback & cried a lot before Baba. I was so much depressed & challenged Baba to give me a job. This was the time when we both had totally lost our faith in Baba. But after 2 weeks, i got a call from the same company they wanted me to join within next week. I was in my home. At that time my parents were happy & my husband was so much happy. We both thanked Baba. I apologized Baba for losing faith in Him & promised as soon as i will get the offer letter i will post my experience in your blog. On December 15, i went to office for joining. I was waiting for the joining formalities. Four hours passed but nobody was there to complete formalities. Being MBA i was interviewed for a very good profile but in the evening i got to know they are offering me a secretarial profile. This was a cheating and nothing else. When i came from the office i cried alot & asked Baba why Youhave made fun of me? Now everybody is asking me about my first day in the office. My family was concerned about me. But i cannot disclose what happened with me. I had so many complaints for Baba because everything was dependent on my job. We wanted to convince our parents for our marriage & we dont have financial strength. All our life is depends on my job & my husband's business. Baba gave us everything we asked but He is not providing us the financial security by my job. Today my husband doesn't trust on Baba & stoped worshiping Him. Even i am angry with Baba for what he has done to us. But i still have hope. 10 -12 days earlier i was crying while talking to Baba at bedtime & i had a dream that night that i was talking to Baba sitting infront of each other & Baba gave me a hug. I dont remeber the conversation & after that i went a Shiv temple & saw a big Shivling made of silver. The priest asked me to worship but i could not do so because i did not had a bath. Next morning i was trying to understand the meaning of this dream but still i am not able to understand. After 2-3 days my husband came as he comes once in a month to meet me. We had discussion about our settelment issue & he accepted that he dont trust Baba now. I can not make him to do so i prayed Baba to realise my husband Your power & Your presence with us. After a week i had a dream that i am at my hometown. I saw that there is a temple of Baba at my neighbour's home. Just infront of my parent's home & i saw Baba's idol with a Sheshnag Mukut on His head. I would mention here that there is no Sai temple in my hometown & there is a hidden wish in my heart to built up a Sai temple in my hometown. If i would became capable of it but i could not understand the meaning of these dreams. But still have hope that Baba will surely provide us with a settlement & our parents will accept our marriage & my husband will start worshiping Baba as earlier. I request you all to describe me the meaning of my dreams if any one can.

Baba i have faith in You. You are our only hope please. Help us as You know we really need your help & please gorgive me & my husband for our sins.

Sai Baba Gave Timely Help - Sai Devotee Anuradha

2010-01-05T19:49:00.019+05:30

In this post i am sharing two experiences of Sai sister Anuradhaji.

Anuradhaji says : Dear Hetalji,

Om Sai Ram and Thank you very much for doing this noble work. You don't know how many souls like me are getting benefited from your work. I am a frequent visitor to your blog. May Sai Ram bless you and your family. I know I have no body but Sai Ram as my savior. Please publish my experience(s) on your blog for all the devotees to understand the SAI MA will help you no matter what you ask HIM.

"I have felt direct presence of and help from Sai Baba many times in my life. Two of them are listed here:

First incident which I can recall happened during my trip to Shirdi with my husband around 15 years back. We couldn't get any hotel accommodation in Shirdi and were walking from one hotel to another carrying our luggage with no luck. We were very upset about it and were praying to Sainath to help us. Suddenly an old man in white clothes approached us from behind and asked "Kya aap log hotel dhoodh rahe ho?" (Are you looking for a hotel room?) and we said "Haan, bahut pareshan hain." (Yes we are very upset about it.) Then he asked where are we from. We told him we are from Bhopal. After listening to us he pointed to one hotel and told us to go to that hotel and tell them we are from Bhopal and we will get the room. We were skeptic about it but had no choice, so we did what that old man told us to do and BINGO we got the room. We were very happy about it and thanked that person. I later realized he was no other than my SAINATH, who came to help when we needed HIM.

Most recent incident happened just four days back on December 24, 2009. Now I live in Austin, TX. We were going on a 8 hour long road trip. After about half the distance and 4 hours later we found our car low on gas (petrol). We kept looking for a gas station but strangely there was NO gas station for almost 40-50 miles stretch of the highway and then finally our car stopped. We somehow managed to pull it to the side, started praying to Sadguru Sainath Maharaj to help us and started making phone calls to the roadside assistance service to come and help us thinking it will take at the most 10 minutes for the call and 30 minutes for the service provider to bring us gas and we should be on the road in 40 minutes or less. During all our previous calls this is how long it took them. Also as we pay the monthly cost for the road side service we don't need to pay anything when we really need them. But something else was in store for us that day. As it was a holiday and Christmas time the roadside assistance company took almost an hour to find a service provider and told us that the service provider is demanding $175 to get us two gallons of gas. My husband and I got very upset about it but considering the holidays, urgency and no other help in sight we had no choice and we said OK we will pay the money just ask him to get the gas.

Now we started waiting patiently, tried asking for help from cars passing by and kept on praying to Sainath to help us. Forty more minutes passed, we were stranded on the road for almost 1 hour and 40 minutes still no sight of the company who was suppose to bring help. My husband called that company and the person on the phone started acting strange, asked him to give credit card details on the phone before he can come and they had an argument as my husband insisted that we will pay only when we get the help. After the hot discussion the other person hung up the phone. All of us got angry, frustrated and worried about the entire messy start of our long awaited vacation. Still we kept praying to Sai Baba and had a strong faith that HE will help us.

Finally after about 15 more minutes we saw a white truck stopping behind our car. We were happy to see that help arrived and assumed that that the truck belongs to the service provider who hung up the phone. A man got out of the truck, walked to us and asked if we needed the gas. My husband said yes and asked him if he belongs to that company. We were very surprised to here that he had nothing to do with that company and he told us that the police department called him and asked him to deliver gas to us. We were shocked to here this miracle as we never called the police department, no police car ever came to help, and no one but the service provider knew that we were out of gas. We thanked that person, got the gas, paid him the cost of gas and were able to be back on the road after two hours. Later we realized that we did not thank our savior enough and wanted to give him some extra money for helping us. The person who got us gas was driving behind us for a while and after few minutes when we looked back there was no white truck behind us! We then realized it was another leela by our beloved Sainath Maharaj who came to help us when we needed HIM. Jai Sainath."

Om Shri Sai Nathay Namah!

My mother’s experience with Shri Shirdi Sai Baba

This is the true story of how Shri Sachchidanand Sadguru Sainath Maharaj saved my mother’s life in September 2007.

My mother and my entire family has great faith in Shri Shirdi Saibaba. As a child I have memories of visiting Shirdi many times. This faith grew stronger during one of the toughest period in our lives. My mother fell sick during September 2007. As both my parents and my brother are doctors it seemed normal for them and the treatment started. Suddenly her illness became severe and her whole body started swelling and she started acting strange. After few tests and consultation with local doctor friends my father and brother decided to shift her from a small town in Madhya Pradesh to the closest city Nagpur with renowned hospitals and doctors. As soon as they reached Nagpur, the doctors diagnosed her with a serious condition called “Septicemia”. ( Septicemia or Blood Poisoning is a serious, life-threatening infection that gets worse very quickly). This was shocking for everyone as the survival rate for septicemia is only 50%.

Doctors started the treatment but her condition deteriorated day by day and she became unconscious. The doctor told my brother that now anything can happen, inform anyone you would like to come. That is when I received the most dreaded phone call in my life. My brother called me and said “Come here as soon as you can. Amma’s condition is getting worse”. I immediately made arrangements and flew the next morning. From the moment I got the phone call I started praying to Sai Baba to please keep her alive and give me a chance to see her and talk to her. That was the most dangerous night in my mother’s life. Back in India my three siblings and my father continued praying all night to Sai Baba to save her life. I reached India on Thursday September 27th 2007 morning. From the airport we drove straight to Shri Sai Baba temple in Nagpur and all four of us prayed to Sai Baba to save her life. When we reached hospital I was shocked to see her in such a bad shape but we got the good news that she is better than the last night. She started getting better little by little and finally when the doctors took her off the ventilator and she was able to talk, she called my elder sister and said she wants to tell her something. She said: “I had a dream last night and I saw that Sai Baba is taking my head and I am praying to Him to leave me on earth. I told Sai Baba that my Sai is my husband; he is crying and so are all my kids, please let me go and He brought my head back and attached it back to my body”. We were pleasantly surprised to hear that Sai Baba did hear our prayers and returned our mother back to us. It was like another birth for my mother. She had to stay in ICU for three weeks and it took her couple of months to recover completely from that illness. But since then our faith in Shri Sai Baba is stronger than ever. I know He is watching and protecting me and my entire family from all the evil forces. I know He will save us from all the troubles.

I have learned the real meaning on “Faith” and “Patience” from this experience. I wish everyone reading this story will do the same.

Only Udi And Prayers Cured My Grandfather - Author's Experience

2010-01-01T17:00:00.001+05:30

This blog has been blessed and dedicated totally to devotees who wish to share their experiences with other fellow devotes. It has always been a pleasure for me to put forward the experiences. In fact its a proud for me to be a medium and feelings of being connected gathers me all the time while working here. It is always glad to know that devotee readers have liked it and many thanks to Sai Baba for this. Many a times while reading and posting experiences i was left over with wet eyes and realise the power of this Supreme One again and again which has tied all of us together. Today i would like to share my family's experience with you all. Before going further my heartiest New Year wishes to all fellow devotees and Sai family. Let's all pray together to Sai Baba to give us happiness and peace of mind all the year ahead and make us strong enough to face calamities and bad conditions which are an important constituents of our lives to be able to realise the importance of happiness and strong presence of Baba.

Sai Baba's plannings are always ahead of our intellect thinking, but when they take shape we realise the purpose behind them. Baba has his own peculiar way to make us understand that he is always with us, but in times of calamity He is ahead of us to make situation easier for us to bear. No doubt Baba is present to take care of us in every fraction of second of our life, but when a child is suffering from bad health, he needs special care and affection. My mother and whole of our family realised this. Merely knowing things and realising them, are two different facts. Many times we come across devotees saying that Udi cured their disease and made them hale and hearty. Here is one more instance as an addition to it.

My grandparents, maternal uncle and parents were traveling from Maharashtra to Gujarat last week. They had been there for some good cause and Baba accomplished all the work very easily which was not all expected being fully aware of happenings in future. When my parents were leaving our home, my mother prayed to Baba, "Take care of my kids, Baba". I just said, "Yes Baba will take care of us, but is He not going with you?" My mother replied in affirmative and they left. At that time we were not all aware that Baba had been with them in reality.

After three days they all were returning home. Train was in evening and my parents were to reach our town (Baroda) early morning next day and my grandparents and uncle were to continue their journey till Jamnagar (in West Gujarat). At railway station my grandpa was feeling uneasy and his hands were shaking. My mother noticed this and she quickly alerted my grandma and uncle. They replied that it was usual for his hands to shake. My grandpa is of 85 years of age, but this has never been an obstacle to him and he just goes on and on. At this age he works for about 6 hours and is always active to do any kind of work. More than everything, he does not suffer from any severe health problems. But that day he was sounding low and did not like to talk which was otherwise with him normally. Though my mother was told that everything is normal, her mind was not ready to accept it. She could sound something unusual with her father. They boarded train and after 10 minutes the train started, my grandpa's health deteriorated badly. His legs stopped working, he was not able to speak and was suffocating. He could not explain what was happening to him. More worse, he was not able to understand what others said to him. Since they were traveling there was no question of immediate treatment. My mother had Udi with her and she applied it to his legs and chest and administered some of it to him. Even when they were waiting for train, she applied Udi to his hands and then immediately shaking of hands stopped.

One option open to them was to get down at any unknown station and rush for treatment. This could not also be materialized because it was a fast train and stoppage frequency was less and train did not stop for more than 5 minutes. In this situation, it was not at all possible to alight. Even then it was decided to quickly get down a train, but before they could make it, train started.

My parents then went in search of ticket collector who might help in some way, in train itself, but could not find him anywhere. All the options which were expected, were just turning their way back. On the other hand, my grandpa was down with dysentery suddenly. He was given medicine, but only half of it went inside as he could not open his mouth properly. This made situation go worse. He was not able to walk and his mind was not responding in anyway that he can move forward on his own at least one step. My mother was continuously doing Naam Jap of Sai Baba and praying to Him to cast His merciful eye.

The whole night passed in utter anxiety and worry. In the morning, as per schedule and plan, my parents were to get down at Baroda, but my uncle requested them to accompany him when my grandpa showed his desire to go to home and not to get treatment in Baroda. Twelve hours passed without any treatment and deteriorated health, now again twelve hours were ahead. I was informed about this on phone early morning and i was tensed to know about all this, but i had firm faith in Baba that He will take care. I started praying Baba mentally and also requested other devotees to pray by circulating a mail in various groups of Sai Baba.

Now at about 9 am my grandpa moved three-four steps without anyone's support. His purging had stopped and was looking better. He was able to speak also, but had gone weaker due to purgings. He was given electral powder (a medicine given by dissolving in water to give instant energy). In the evening they reached their destination. My grandpa himself open the gate and entered into house without anyone's aid. Moreover he could himself explain to doctor what all had happened to him. Medicines and other energy syrups were advised by doctor. It was a miracle, indeed Baba's miracle and grace. Exactly before 24 hours, no one was expecting this situation, but Baba did take fullest care. I thank Baba to be with us and take our care in the time of calamity and also thank all those who had prayed for my grandpa. Now he has fully recovered and is back to his work from this New Year Day bidding good bye to his sufferings and bad health with the last year.

Sai Baba Provided Timely Help in Shirdi - Sai Devotee Kishor

2009-12-31T05:31:00.006+05:30

Sharing with you all experience of Sai brother Kishor ji.

Kishor ji says : Dear Hetal G,

I am Kishor from UAE currently, I used to read the Experience of Sai devotees regularly & was thinking to post my first visit experience of Shirdi from last 4 months but was not able to do so. But now I am posting the same herewith. Please do necessary changes where ever you feel necessary or spelling mistake correction. If Possible please give the title or heading to individual paragraph as you feel suitable.

Also Thanks you very much for providing me & all the Sai devotees this opportunity to share our experience with each other which helps us to go stronger on the path of Sai Devotion through your website.

Thanks you once again.

Dear All,

I want to share my first visit experience to the Shirdi. How Baba has troubleshooted my shortage of money problem in Shirdi? I am very sorry Sainath for posting this so late. I know that I have committed to Baba for this around 4 months before, but Baba know the reason why I could not post my this experience so far. Oh Sai Nath ! Please forgive me for this delay.

It was in the year 2001 when I thought to go to Shirdi. After the permission from my parent we booked 2 tickets to Shirdi as my younger brother also joined me for the visit. Here I want to share with you that in 2001 there was only one ATM of SBI was available in Shirdi.

We got in the 9:00 pm bus from Mumbai for Shirdi. Some how we were late in the temple for the darshan as bus was stuck in Jam near Ghat due to some urgent checking.

We Checked in a small hotel near the temple and had merciful darshan of Saibaba. It is not possible to describe the satisfaction, pleasure I felt after the darshan in words. It was so blissful experience for me. As we had the darshan of Sainath in late morning around 11:30 hours and after the darshan when we came out from the Temple complex suddenly we thought to have a darshan of Shani Maharaj in Shani shingana pur. So we got in the transport which is available (I think it was MAHINDRA 16 SEATER COMMANDER JEEP) from the main road.

Also in Shani Shinganpur we took the darshan of Shani Maharaj after bathing. Also I would like to inform the devotee, who did not got luck or chance to visit Shani Shingnapur, there you will not found locks on the home, doors are remain open even though no one is at home. As that is the holy land of Shani Maharaj & He is the protector of villagers property etc. from the theft and punishes the thief, criminals. This is as per the driver’s statement & we also found the same no doors in the windows & main doors are open. Even I want to tell you that we left everything in that Mahindra jeep including, our wallet, watches etc. When we went for the darshan as the driver told us that nothing will happen to our belonging as this is the land of SHANI BHAGWAN.

After the darshan we returned back to the Shirdi at around 8:00 pm in the night. And just thought to book our return tickets to Mumbai & then to have dinner. We went to the travel office and asked him for 2 tickets.

I was shocked to note that I was having only 450/- balance with me, whereas I thought I am having around 800 /- with me. In that I realized that we spent around 150/- in the Shani Dham and approx. 100 for our transportation. In that 300 rs. I have to pay room rent also which was around 150 rs. More apart from the deposit I gave as advance. (I landed in this crisis because unfortunately I forgot to carry my other Jeans in which I kept another 800/-).

We were in very awkward situation at that moment. Then I took out my UTI bank Debit card (Axis Bank now), but the travel operator told me is that this is Shirdi not Mumbai so no facilities of booking the bus seat was available at that time there. Even we checked with around 5-6 travel operators.

The option left to me is now to visit to some shop and to ask them for the money after the deducting the necessary chargeable commission by them through swapping the debit card (usually shop owner will charge around 20 – 25% of commission in order to give the cash through the Debit card swapping). This option was told to me by one of the Travel operator in Shirdi as he felt pity on us.

Again I went to 2 – 3 shop owners, to my surprise they were looking at me with a doubtful eye & inquiring about the me (like I have stolen the debit card from someone, even though my photo was there in the debit card). I came back to that same travel operator (who gave me the suggestion) & told him the doubtful scene happened with me. He then suggested me to visit to the gold jewelers shop instead of other shop.

Now we again looking for the gold jeweler shop. We were walking in search of jeweler shop. I became upset, frustrated now and I asked to Sainath that, “Oh Sai Nath this is my first time in Shirdi. I have a trust on You, and I know You will take me out of this situation. Also I asked Him silently, Why I am suffering without any reason here in Your Shirdi, even though I am having the debit card with me."

Suddenly I noticed that we are just in front of a jeweler shop. We went in, I told him the full story and asked him whether can he provide me money by deducting his service charges or commission after swapping the debit card. Then he asked me which bank debit card I am having? I replied him that UTI, then he told me that yesterday only first ATM of UTI was inaugurated here on the main road few hundred meters away from the private bus stand. And he do not have any problem to give me the cash but he was a nice person so he told me to check for that option first and if not successful he will provide me the cash.

I was so astonished to note that I asked Baba for the help and he helped me in totally different manner. Immediately we went to ATM took cash and booked ticked, and had my wonderful dinner at Sai Prasadalay.

After that incident I realized that Baba takes care of His devotee at each & every moment, I experienced many incidents like such, where Baba had helped me & my family time to time. Soon I will post my other experience after Baba’s permission.

Sai Nath Please bless all of us like this, without Your name there is no meaning of our life & fame.

Sai Nath,

Smallest Care Is Taken By Sai Baba - Sai Devotee Kapil

2009-12-29T08:12:00.007+05:30

Below is experience of Sai brother Kapil ji.

Kapil ji says : Our family is a simple devotee of SaiBaba and pray to him that always keep us close to your feet Baba. We love you a lot and can’t imagine living without your Bhakti.

We have a 7 month Daughter named Shraddha. Unfortunately she had a small cut on her arm accidentally for which we had to go to Doctor and they did the dressing. On 24th Nov 2009, we noticed some pus in her wound so we took the appointment of 4 PM from doctor. We had to go to NewYork for the appointment and it’s at a distance of around 1 hr 30 minutes from our home. We were also concerned about the expense for the trip as i don’t have job at this time. We estimated 15$ (Oil) + 15$ (Valet Parking in hospital) + 13$ (5.50 + 5.50 + 1.75) (Toll on the way to New york and back). I only had 7$ cash in my pocket (All Tolls are to be paid in Cash always). We were thinking that we will try to ask doctor if she can give us a parking pass so that we can save those 15$ atleast. As the estimated time of journey was 1 hr 30 minutes and the appointment was at 4 PM, we took some buffer and started from home at around 2:10 PM. When we were 30 minutes distance from hospital (as per GPS - Global Positioning System), we got stuck in a terrible traffic Jam and we thought that we can still make it if the traffic jam gets cleared in 15 minutes but the Jam was not getting over. We tried calling doctor to request her to wait for us for some time otherwise it would be difficult for us to come again next day, but she was not picking up the call. Time was running and that traffic jam was still the same. It was 4:30 and we were still in the way. We thought that doctor might have left and coming to NY might go in vain. We left everything on Baba and continued towards hospital. Suddenly we got a call from doctor and she asked that where were we? We told her that we are still in traffic jam and requested her to wait for us for another half an hour. To our great surprise, she said that, "Ofcourse!, I can’t leave without seeing you!" ( Miracle 1). We were so much relaxed and thanked Baba for help.

After we reached hospital, Doctor examined Shraddha and examined the wound which was having the Pus. She did some cleaning and then did the dressing again. After seeing Shraddha in so much pain, we completely forgot of asking for a parking pass from a doctor. When we were leaving, doctor suddenly came to us and gave us the pass herself and said to us, "Here is your Parking Pass" (Miracle 2). We were least expecting the pass but Baba’s leela is great. This saved our 15$. As I had 7$ in my pocket, after the appointment, we had 1 coffee and then I was left with 5.75$ with me. As the Toll was expected to be 13$, I went to the chase ATM and withdrew 40$. We had an idea of a different route where we could save one Toll of 5.50$, so we decided of taking that route. In that route we should have got 2 Tolls ( 5.50$ and 1.75$ ). The biggest miracle is that while going back from an alternative route we didn’t find that 5.50$ Toll as well (Miracle 3). We still don’t know where did that Toll disappear as there is no way that Toll can be skipped. We just paid 1.75$ Toll on the way and I was still left with 4$ and also with 40$ which I withdrew from Chase Bank. While coming back a thought crossed my mind that it has been so long that we have eaten anything in Subway. Suddenly my wife said that Shraddha is getting little fussy and she too wanted to use the restroom so please take some exit and take some rest. I took an Exit (Exit 18) as it was pointing for McDonald. After taking exit we saw no McDonald but I suddenly saw one Subway and Punchi started crying a lot, so I parked in the subway and took her out. Deepti used the restroom there and when we were leaving we thought of having something to eat. Baba takes care of even the smallest wish of his devotees, I just thought of Subway and there we were to eat something (Miracle 4). We agreed on having a small pizza and to my surprise which I realized later, the Pizza was 4$ which in total made our expense to 7$, which is just equal to the amount when I started my Journey thinking of the expenses (Miracle 5).

Jai Sainath.

2009-12-28T10:28:00.000+05:30

Below are two experiences of Sai sister Shalni ji and Seema ji. Since both the experiences are of same subject matter, i have clubbed them together in one post.

Shalini ji says : Hi, Hetal ji. I am Shalni from Chandigarh. This will be my second post to you. As i want to share my recent experience with all the SAI DEVOTEES.

I am really thankful to you for having such a nice blog. MAY SAI BABAJI ALWAYS BLESS U.

"ACHUTEM KASEVM RAM NARAYANAM KISNA DAMODARAM VASODAVEM HARI,SHRIDHARAM MADHAWAM GOPIKA BALABHAM JANAKI NAYAKAM RAMCHANDRAM HARI"

I was searching for a good job for the last 5-6 months. But due to recession, i was not getting any good job. I kept on waiting patiently for this auspicious time. As i always remember TWO WORDS OF SAI BABAJI: SHRADHA AND SABURI.

Its very hard to have patience sometimes but when its fruit comes, its really very sweet. Sometimes when i really got sad and depressed then i used to ask question from SAI BABAJI, HE always replied me in a positive way. It really motivated me about not to loose any hope. Today, WITH THE GRACE OF SAI BABAJI, i have got selected in a good company. SAI BABAJI, always been a ray of hope and happiness in my life. HIS HOLY BOOK OF QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS IS A BEAUTIFUL GIFT FROM HIM TO ALL OF US. I always talk to DEVA JI with the help of this WONDERFUL BOOK.

OM SAI RAM.....

Seema ji says : JAI SAI RAM Hetal Ji,

Few months back, i have shared my experience with all of you that how SAI BABA has helped me in getting a good job even in the recession time. After joining my new company, SAI BABA has sent me UK for few days for some official purpose. SAI JI again helped me in getting visa. As there were so many problems in getting UK VISA. Last week, i got confirmed in my new company. Only because of SAI JI, I got confirmed in this company. Also, SAI JI has helped me in one personal problem also which i couldn't share with all of you. Not only this, SAI JI is calling me at SHIRDI also. I am going to SHIRDI on November 28, 2009. SAI MAA is always with me even in my bad days. I don't know how can i express my feelings for SAI MAA in words. I can say only one thing that i love SAI MAA a lot and can't think about my life without her. I hope i would be sharing my new experience with all of you very soon.

JAI SAI RAM,

Seema

I Became Healthy Overnight With Sai Baba's Grace - Sai Devotee Priyanka

2009-12-23T08:27:00.006+05:30

Below is experience of Sai sister Priyanka ji.

Priyanka ji says : Om Sai Ram

Dear Hetal ji,

Jai Sai Ramji,

Kudos to you for your good work!

Please post my experience with Baba in your blog.

I would like to share a wonderful Leela of my Beloved Sai Baba. From past few days, I was not keeping well. My throat went really bad and I caught cold and cough due to which I was feeling miserable. Gradually I started having fever. Now I was very scared. I kept on taking Baba's Udi by mixing it in water, tea or any soup I was taking.

I was scared to see a doctor because these days normal fever and cold cough is also taken as very serious considering Swine flu.

In the night, I was not able to sleep. I prayed Baba - "Baba. Please make me healthy by tomorrow morning. I will post my experience in Your Blog. Please make me healthy again".

And miraculously when I woke up in the morning my fever was gone. I was feeling so much better. With Baba's Grace I became healthy overnight. I was relieved of my splitting headache. I felt so light and happy. Only mild cold and cough is left.

On Thursday when I went to Sai Baba Temple I was in bad state. I sat there in peace and yesterday on Sunday when I went to Baba's temple, I was much much better and went happily and joyfully to Baba's temple.

Thank You Baba so much for vanishing my fever and rescuing me and saving me from going to a doctor.

Thank You Baba for letting me post my experience in Your Blog.

Baba Please forgive me if I have been unable to express myself correctly and completely. Please forgive me if have forgotten to mention (write) something.

Please Continue to Bless me and Grace me as Always.

Always Under Your Lotus Feet

Om Sai Ram
Priyanka Jindal

My Heart Spoke And Sai Baba Listened - Sai Devotee Archana

2009-12-19T10:14:00.016+05:30

Sharing with you all experience of Sai sister Archana ji.

Archana ji says : Dear Hetal,

I don’t have words to describe what kind of service you are doing. I am sure you get to hear this 1000 times a day may be even more than that. But trust me when I say that you and your blog have been a savior for me in every possible sense. I wish I could ever get a chance to meet you in person and shower you with my appreciation for your work.

I have an experience that I would like to share with all the readers .Don’t share all the email with readers please. Just the experience.

I haven’t been an avid Sai Devotee but I guess I am a religious person. Recently for some reason I had this urge to read about Sai Baba and I started browsing about it on the net. I came across Hetalji's blog and while going though it I read about Sai Satcharita. I decided to start reading it from Thursday. Since I haven’t done anything like this before I was completely unaware about the procedure for it. But I still decided to go ahead and do it anyway. The only thing that I decided to follow was that I shouldn’t speak bad about anyone, lie to anyone or fight with anyone and try to think about Sai as much as possible. Since I wasn’t planning to read anything I wasn’t prepared for the puja and I didn’t have the SAI SATCHARITA either.

So every day for 7 days I would read SAI SATCHARITA Online. On the 6th day I had a big lousy fight with my husband and ended up saying a lot of things I shouldn’t have said. I felt very bad later on because I was reading SATCHARITA to have some peace of mind. Invariably because of the fight with my husband I had lost my peace of mind and it disturbed my puja as well. As soon as I went to bed that night I kept on saying sorry to Sai Baba and to forgive me for what I had done and said that day.

The next day i.e. on Thursday I decided to go to the Temple. While I was leaving I told my husband I have never done anything so religiously in my entire life but because of him I fought and it ruined my puja and that I pray that Sai Baba forgives me and gives me a sign that He is happy with my puja . Saying so I left for the temple.

I was reading the Satcharita during Navratri and when I went to the temple I saw the decorations and all and I thought to myself I wish I had done all this at my place and had a nice Satsang and all on the last day. But I didn’t expect in my wildest dreams what was to come next. As it was Thursday the temple is crowded with devotees who come for Sai baba puja but that day because of Navratri every one was busy with Devi Maa Puja and when the Sai Baba Aarti started there was hardly any crowd, I guess around 10 or 15 people that’s all. When the aarti started the Priest was there but he was busy with other puja that was going on in the temple so he handed over the Aarti Plate to a lady and told her to go ahead and do the aarti. While she was doing it half way through she looked back and saw me standing behind her and she handed over the aarti plate to me and asked me to do the rest of the aarti. I was so overjoyed I was like this is exactly what I wanted to do at my house and now I get to do it in the temple with so many people. I finished the aarti and after the Prasad distribution I left the temple all happy and cheerful.

When I told my husband what happened he said that now I know that Sai Baba isn’t upset because I fought with him and said all bad things and all. Though I was satisfied I told him that I am happy but I couldn’t do the satsang as I wanted so, that wish still remains and all. That day ended and we went to bed.

The next morning I was yet to get over my euphoria of the other day when I got a call from my husband. He said that may be Sai Baba is listening to you after all. I asked him why he thinks so and he told me that one of his office colleague is having a Sai Baba satsang at his place that day in the evening and he has invited us. I was so happy I was like this has to be a joke. Everything that I wanted to do while reading the Sai Satcharita came true one by one.

I learnt one thing from the whole experience that when you do something with all your heart and mind HE will listen to you. It doesn’t matter if you do a puja 24 hrs a day, even a heartfelt NAMASKAR is enough for Him to listen to you.

OM SAI RAM

Regards,
Archana.

Sainath Cures My Room Mate Miraculously - Sai Devotee Sharath

2009-12-18T17:28:00.012+05:30

Today i am sharing with you experience sent by Sai brother Sharath ji.

Sharath ji says : Namaste Hetal ji. Thank you for this wonderful blog. It is indeed blissful to read devotees experiences of Sainath, and it increases one's bhakthi. I want to relate to you what happened to my room mate, as it was another beautiful leela of Samartha Sadguru Sainath.

We are all students staying in a room here on campus and doing our Masters. As I was about to leave my room today, my room mate came home saying he is feeling very cold and he said it is imperative that he would get fever, as this seemed like a sign of the approaching storm. He seemed quite normal then, and I did not think it should be taken seriously. I went and returned later in the evening, to find him looking very tired. I checked to see that he seemed to have high fever. He seemed to be quite suffering, as he was making moaning and grunting sounds, and his eyes were quite red. Then I asked if he needs anything, and he went to lie down assuring me that he will be all right after taking some rest. I started speaking to my parents in India online in video chat. Once I was done talking to them (My parents), I went and found that he was lying and seemed to be in great distress. I was quite worried, and then he awoke to see me in the room. I asked him if he needs anything, he asked me to get a certain powder of a citrous fruit which is supposed to be good for digestion.

Seeing him in this distress, I felt I should give him Sainath's Udi. I keep Sainath's Udi in the cupboard always. I took it to him, and asked him to put it on his forehead and also to take a little into his mouth. After this, he seemed very tired, hardly able to open his eyes. I asked him again and again, should I take him to the doctor, as he seemed to be in a bad state. He refused, and then asked me to make him some oats, on my asking if he wants to eat anything. I made some, he seemed to struggle to eat it. Then seeing this plight, I asked him if he wants electrol (A solution which is used to revive the salts in the body of one who undergoes dehydration or is very tired)? I made him electrol. He was still the same. He seemed to be moaning and struggling. Then he said he is feeling very nauseated. I was alarmed, because he was already tired, and should he puke, he would become even more tired. Worried thus, I offered to get him a tablet for nausea. He said yes, and then when I went to the kitchen, he stood up and ran all the way to the sink, and then emptied all that he had eaten there. And after a point, he fell, clinging onto the sink, his head beneath the faucet and struggling to get up. I held him, and then tried to get him up, thinking what to be done next. Then all of a sudden, he stood up all by himself as though by a sudden surge or energy. Then he assured me, he is feeling better and washed himself. Then to my amazement, he was completely back to normal.

Before this event happened, he was shivering and moaning and groaning and seemed to be extremely tired. Now all of a sudden, he seemed to be back to normal. He himself was amazed at this, and with great joy kept telling me, "I am now completely all right". He kept saying, "I am all right now, touchwood. God is great". And I kept thinking, this was indeed a leela of Sadguru Sainath. Normally, someone who is so tired, on vomiting, would lose the fluids in the body and become even more tired. But his change was tremendous. He was back to normal and there was not a trace of his former discomfort. I have never seen, tiredness vanishing after one empties his stomach. This made me realize that it was nothing but a leela of Sadguru Sainath and it also made me a firm believer in the power of the Udi.

I have health problems myself, but do not regularly take the Udi. But on seeing this miracle, I am convinced, that if I take Sainath's Udi, which is really nectar, I will be all right by His grace.

Praise be to Sainath. It was so difficult to get medical aid for us, as we do not have a car ourselves, and we do not know where to go for one. I was contemplating on even calling a friend who has a car, to take my room mate to a doctor, but Sainath is doctor of doctors. By His grace alone, all things are possible.

Jai Sainath. Always keep Your merciful glance on us like this.
