Sairam ,
Happy Baba's day to all,
Though Shirdi Sai is invisible still devotees believe in Him,they get the experiences from Him in different form.With these experiences and love of Baba the devotees witness the living -visible form of HIM.

Mere chanting the name of Baba and taking His darshan free devotees from the shackle of Maya. It is necessary for devotees if they want to experience the love and blessing of Baba they must surrender to Him and always remember His name no matter where they are and what they are doing .By practicing this the devotee will witness the presence of Lord always with them. Here are few experiences reflecting the same essence of the above message. Jai Sai Ram .

Baba's blessing:

Shri Sayee Charan

Baba's blessings in abundance to all. Would like to share this small yet significant leela of baba. Thanks to sister manisha for this web seva to instill faith and devotion among all and for sharing this leela of baba. When you find no other person to help you in a situation with little time and strict office rules, your prayer to baba makes your task easy. please post the image sent herewith.

We have family card for the purpose of LPG gas refills. We need to renew this card in fair price shop. We can renew them only in the mornings within due date. We cannot opt any other time. There will always be rush for this process. I have none to send for this renewal process due to certain situations.

One thursday, safely i went bit early to be in front in the queue, so that i can finish it and attend office with little delay. But to my dismay i found some 50 persons standing in the line.
I prayed to baba telling, if i stand today, i can go only in the afternoon and my officer will mark half-day attendance which i do not want to waste for these purposes. The leave must be utilised only for important things or health sake. But i did not turn away to choose another day for that was thursday, baba's day and hoped baba will rescue.

Unbelievably Baba helped by turning the situation in my favour. I went inside the office on the pretext of asking some doubt. There will be two staffs. One will be busy checking the cards and entering them in registers. I cannot disturb him else others in line will charge at my interference.

The second staff will clarify doubts and finalise the process. This person is of strict type and he is the one also organising the queue and if anyone deviates and enter into arguments, he will give them fitting replies. He will not consider any excuses to do the tasks in our way and he used to say everyone wants to finish theirs at first and there is no way but to wait in the line patiently.

Praying constantly to baba, i went to this second staff and asked some silly doubt :). He clarified the same and immediately asked me to come in the queue. Getting all courage, i humbly requested him to finish my card next by telling the truth, i would be losing half-a-day attendance and my boss will lose his temper at my delay.

Here comes baba through this second staff. He did not utter any word against my wish. He simply asked me to wait there itself with a big smile. Here baba's control was evident and imminent. To my happiness, he passed my card next and asked the other person to renew this card.No one was complaining. Within ten minutes, the entire process was over. I thanked baba in all surprises and attended the office in time. As that was thursday, i met my Sai in the evening and offered sweets for his timely interference.

If Baba decides to get into our circumstances, he will take complete control of the situation just at the moment we need and devotees can very well realize or feel, wherever they got baba's help in one or other way. It is all our constant remembrance and prayers to Him with undoubtable faith is needed. May baba bless all His devotees and help them to accomplish their important tasks easily. Bow to Shri Sai, Peace be to all.

Baba's samadhi appeared me as Lord Vishnu:

Dear Manisha-ji,
Hope you are doing great. Thank you again for your great work. May BABA bless you and your family with health, wealth and happiness.

Below is a small experience of me with our beloved Baba, kindly post it at your convenience. Please don't disclose my email address.

Dear All,
First of all, I pray BABA for His blessings on everyone. I had many beautiful experiences in my last visit to India. As the experiences are very long, I am writing very few experiences here. Please forgive me if you find any mistakes in this .

I am a devotee of Sainath Maharaj since several years. But I became close to Him from last two years, especially after reading “Sai Sathcharitra”. After coming to US, I was not happy because of some personal reasons, so I found solace in praying BABA.

I started reading “Sai Sathcharitra”. This helped me a lot in realizing how He helps His devotees. I became close to Him. I started feeling to go to Shirdi. In fact, I visited Shirdi many a times before, while I was working in PUNE. But I never touched His Samadhi, as Samadhi gates were closed every time, I visited Shirdi on week-ends. I asked Him for a chance to visit Shirdi again.

One day, while reading devotees experiences, I realized BABA fulfills our wish sooner, if we offer one of our favorite food/drink to Him till our wish is fulfilled. I drink coffee very frequently and I decided to stop drinking coffee until I visit Shirdi. Somehow, my trip to India got confirmed by His grace.

I went to Shirdi with my parents in the month of May-June. We reached Shirdi safely, we visited Samadhi madir and Dwarakamai. We had darshan of our Lord. I planned to stay in Shirdi during weekdays so that I could touch Baba’s Samadhi. But, as it was vacation time, there was huge crowd in shirdi. The gates were closed every time, when we visited Mandir. I was disappointed and tried to attend the arti so that I would get a chance to touch His feet. I attended Shej arti two times. Both the times I could not make it to stand inside the madir. One time, I had darsan just before the shej aarti and gates were closed that time. Immediately, I rushed into the queue for Shej arti, I saw on tv, people, who were behind me earlier were able to touch the Samadhi. I felt so bad and cried internally.

I realized my bad karma was so bad and my (Bhakti) devotion was not good enough to touch His feet. I somehow consoled myself saying “The time has not come yet”. But there were some incidents during this journey like Baba’s appearance in Kopergaon and His appearance as Dog in Samadhi mandir gave me some happiness and faith. (I would like to write those experiences later, when Baba permits.)

I came back to USA in July. I used to pray Him sincerely, but many doubts came into my mind like, could I make it to touch His samadhi in this birth. Because, it's an accumulated good karma of many previous births, which led me to become His devotee.

So, there is no big surprise, if one couldn't touch His feet. But after few weeks, one day morning, I had a dream like this. It was wednesday morning in Shirdi, I visited samadhi mandir and there was very little rush in the temple. I stood near the samadhi and I touched the entire samadhi. I touched His feet too. I saw four projections on the four corners of the Baba's samadhi. One purohit was explaining me the four projections as Shankha, Chakra, Gadha and Padma, those we see holding by Lord Vishnu. I could remember the Shankha and Chakra on top two projections. Immediately my dream was broken.

I felt very happy and felt like my bad karma, which was refraining me to touch His samadhi was over. From Sai Satcharitra and devotees experiences, I came to know, irresective of time and day, any dream related to Him is as real as His presence. Hence, I hope with full faith, when I get His next call to shirdi, He will allow me to touch His feet.
Thank you.
Om Sai Rama

Sai Baba Gave Me a New Hope:

Om Sai Namo Namaha..

I would lik to congratulate you from the bottom of my heart and will also like to share my own experience.

I have been living in USA for last 7 yrs. I was having a lot of difficulty in getting a job and be established. I did my Masters program here taking out a student loan and started the program when my baby was only 4mnths old. It was a very trying journey for me and my whole family. However after I graduate, the recession was on and I wasnt able to find a job.

From nowhere. I suddenly had this Bhakti towards my Baba and started praying to Him day and night. I was lost for a while and didnt know where I am heading. By the Grace of Him I got a job just before my OPT (work permit) expired.

Then came the struggle of job, the job was not related to my industry, and I had no idea how to move forward. But slowly and steadily I did. I was in so much stress ,that I was felling ill all the time. Living so far way from my family and my husband had a constant travel job. I have no freinds here and I was very lonely. It felt like BAba took me in to His arms and gave me His blessings. I started reading Sai Satcharita and suddenly I was in an eternal peace.

The other problem was applying my h1 visa. my current company has no foreign workers and didnt want to get in to this.I tried to convince them but it just didnt work. Then we decide to go through a third party consultant. however in all these lenthy process, H1b quota was over! when I recived the news, I feel like there was a voice inside me said, "dont worry,,your visa will be done. Dont think about it anymore and leave it to me."

And I did,not even once for a second, I loost my faith and was 100% sure whatever Baba will decide for me that will be best. And 3 days after the lawyer called and said your visa can still go through, as I was in H1b before, I am not subjected to the cap!!! It was a miracle for me, nobody has said that to us before. Not only that, my visa got approved only in 7 days!!

I dont have words to describe the feeling, that I have been # who is full of so many sins# accpted by Baba. I feel like when nobody belived in me ,He did and stood by me. All my problems are not over, I still have to make a place for my self in this company and have to work double hard. But I know, with His Grace I will get there, I am not scared of anything anyore, I know He will be with me always!

Bow to My Sai and Peace to be all!

I tested Baba in a playful manner:

Good day to all. This morning I prayed to Baba to have a blessed and happy day though I was not feeling well. I went to work as usual. My father and mother fetched me at 5.00pm (Malaysian time).

Though feeling a bit tired and not well, I agreed to follow my parents to get some things at TESCO hypermarket. Beside that hypermarket situated a hotel (Premier Hotel). I just don't know why while looking at the hotel building when i was still in the car towards the hypermarket, I talked to Baba in my heart.'Baba, show me something great today. I wana see you.Then I said ok sorry Baba , I should not test you. You are great and you don't have to prove. I am sorry'.I was just playing with Baba. I was feeling rather bored so only I told that I wanted to see him.

Now my mother and I was in the hypermarket. All of a sudden , mother said she wanted to go to the restroom. Usually she won't leave me and go to the restroom. Its a bit weird. I told her ok and said I will be waiting near the stationary department.

I was walking just looking at some things. At last something pulled me towards the greeting card section.
There was no people around. I felt a tall man was behind me following me. Then suddenly he came near, asked me you speak English. I said yes and when I look at him I was shocked but feeling happy. He looked exactly like Baba. His pleasant face, thick white hair and white beard. His eyes had something I could not describe. Even his body structure looked like Baba.

He was talking something which was confusing to me. First he said he wanted to buy Chinese New Year card then he said I wanted postcards. He told me if I give some people card the others will get angry. Hmm I dont understand. Then I asked him where are you from. He said France. But a bit weird because recently I am getting many items related to France. Then he said I am here since last September. But I am leaving tomorrow.

He was asking where shall he get the postcards. I told him to go to another place. He said he is on his feet most of the time. He even said I am everywhere. I don't stay at one place. But only one thing I realised he came to talk to me not to buy anything. Since there were cards around ;-) Then he even said he is staying at Premier Hotel which I saw earlier.

Then he quickly made his way out. But I stopped him and asked him whats your name. He just replied Bruno. I said nice meeting you Mr. Bruno and he left hurriedly. Wasn't he there to do his shopping?

Few minutes later, my mother joined me. But to my surprise I can't see him after that. Whoever he may be I just saw my Baba in that form. Do you remember I told Baba I wana see him today while looking at the hotel building .Thanks Baba I know its you. May your blessings be with us at all times and sorry to test you.

Shirdi Padayatra 2012 (Shraddha Padayatrik Mitra Mandal)

In the year 2010, during one of my visits to Shirdi, I saw a big group of people (Padayatris), who had walked the distance of Nashik to Shirdi, a distance of almost 100 km. After that, I read about Mumbai to Shirdi Padayatra online (it was a very brief article) and I became very interested in participating in one such Padayatra myself. Since I stayed in Hyderabad, getting in touch with Padayatri Mandals and groups in Mumbai was very difficult and more so there was not much contact information about such Padayatras on the internet .

I used some websites like Fropper, indiadivine.org and also www.shirdisaibabkrip.org to let people know of my intent to do Padayatra with a hope that someone would contact me to join them for a Padayatra. But nothing came out of it until June/July of 2011. One gentleman named Nivas contacted me and informed me that there is a group leaving for Shirdi in the next couple of days. But that was too short a notice for me to take a break from my work for almost 2 weeks. I had to let go off that opportunity at that time, but Nivas did inform me that there will be another one in December.

I contacted Nivas again in November of 2011 and I was told that there is a group leaving on December 1, 2011 from Vasai. It was already last week of November. I was mentally prepared to join this group, but in the meantime one of my aunt, who was aware of the fact that I wanted to go on a Padayatra, put me on to one gentleman named Kiran Patil, who goes on Shirdi Padayatra every year. This was the best thing that happened. On contacting Mr. Kiran Patil, he informed me that his group is starting the Padayatra on January 7, 2012. Since most of the members of this group were from L&T, they will complete the Padayatra in 6 days as against 9 days to avoid leave hassles in the company. Approximate members in this group were around 250 to 300. For me, completing it in 6 days was perfect as I too had similar problem of not being able to take a long break from work. So I dropped the idea of December 2011 Padayatra and opted for January 2012 Yatra instead. There, of course, were 2 more reasons for doing that; One was I had a problem of nagging back pain and was given a diagnoses of PIVD (prolapsed intervertebral disc) and the other was I wanted some time to get my body in shape for this Yatra.

I started with my preparations first by contacting my Orthopedist, who prescribed me a set of medicines (to be taken for a month) and he also showed me some stretching exercises for my back which I did quite regularly.

Secondly, I got back to my old routine of morning walk. I was very irregular until then. But I made sure that I was very regular in that one month, which I had with me. Instead of the usual 4 km or 30-40 minutes of brisk walking, I started walking a distance of 8 km, on some days 10 km and even stretching myself to 14-15 km in a span of 2 hours, usually between 5 to 7 AM.

By the end of December, Mr. Kiran Patil faxed me a list of things that I should carry with me for the Yatra and he had also informed me well in advance to avoid wearing a brand new shoe for Padayatra as that will lead to getting some shoe bites or water boils on the feet. If I was to buy a new shoe, then I have to make sure that I use it for sometime before the Yatra begins. I bought myself new shoes and made sure that I walked at least 150 km using it so as not to have any issues during my Yatra.

Then big day came. It was January 7, 2012 (the start of the Yatra). I was put up at Nerul, Navi Mumbai and had to be at Thane, Wartak Nagar Sai Baba temple by 7-7:30 am. Here again Mr. Kiran Patil helped me by putting me on to Capt. Vinod Jadhav, who too lived in Nerul and was to be a part of the Yatra.

Capt. Jadhav offered to take me along in his car to Wartak Nagar. During the Journey, I got to know that Capt. Jadhav was on his 26th Padayatra to Shirdi and his son told me that his dad and their group walk really very fast and that coping with them will be very tough.

We reached Sai Baba Temple of Wartak Nagar and saw that the there was a local group of Wartak Nagar also scheduled for a Padayatra along with our group. But their group consisted of almost 1000 people and they were scheduled to do the Pooja at the Sai Baba temple before our group, which meant a significant delay in starting our Yatra. That group got done with their Pooja and started Padayatra by 9 AM with a lot of fan fare, fire crackers, music, band, colors etc.

3 Pictures attached above are of starting point

Our group completed all its formalities in the temple and started our Padayatra by 10:15 AM. In the meantime, I met Mr. Kiran Patil for the first time with whom I was in touch only over the phone until then and he introduced me to his team members Darekar, Kiran Patil, Vilas Parab, Shekhar Mahadik, Vinod Jadhav, and Kisan Duglas. So I had found myself in a group, a group of expert Padayatris. Mr. Kiran Patil was on his 6th Padayatra, Capt. Jadhav on his 26th Padayatra and so on.

My Group from left: Ashok Darekar, Kiran Patil, Vilas Parab, Shekhar Mahadik, Vinod Jadhav, Kisan Duglas.

We were served breakfast at Wartak Nagar, which consisted of samosas and tea and as the Padayatra began enroute there was a stall put by someone to serve idli and wada to Padayatris. We started walking and were walking at a very brisk speed. It was also very sunny and hot, after walking for more than 2 hours and still no sign of lunch break, I started wondering as to what is this. How long more we have to walk and I kept asking Kiran Patil. How much more do we have to walk and he said we are almost there. Almost there meant walking more than 30 minutes. We had already walked more than 2 hours until then. I must make a mention here that there were people who were walking barefoot, or were wearing slippers or sandals. I cannot even imagine what it would have been to walk barefoot in such testing weather conditions and no proper road during the course.

Finally at around 12:45 PM, we reached Ovali for a lunch break. Our halt was at a Navnath Temple of Machindra Maharaj. Our group was among the fastest and so we reached there well before many other people, which gave us some time to relax. Everyone immediately found a place for them to lie down and elevate their legs with the support of the wall. I didn’t know the significance of it, but I too followed suit Mr. Kiran Patil and found it to be very relaxing for the legs. After an hour of rest, we had our lunch. Lunch consisted of Chapatti, 1 vegetable, rice, dal and one sweet item. We started walking again at 2:15 PM and it was the same story, hot sun and walking nonstop without a break for more than 2 hours and still no sign of the evening destination. Legs were aching, feeling tired. But we kept walking and walking. Finally at 5:30 PM, we reached Padgah (Sardar Tara Singh Hall), which was at a distance of 23 km from our lunch halt and around 40 km from Thane.

Here again our group was among the fastest to reach the destination giving us ample time to choose the best spot for sleeping, taking bath with not much crowd etc. Before the beginning of the Yatra, I was a confident man. But by the end of day, my confidence was a bit shaken. Day one itself was so tiring and painful and we had another 5 days of walking left. I have to cover a distance of 45km everyday and more. So I was in a group who was experts, would walk very fast, and would not take a single rest break during walking not even for tea or light snacks, which was something I longed for. But the theory behind not taking any breaks was once you take a break say for 20-30 minutes then it takes quite some time to get your walking rhythm back as your leg muscles would pain more after the break and so I did not have a choice but to follow what the group practices.

There were more than 30-40 people, who probably were more than 50-55 years old and there was one gentleman by the name Mr. Purshottam Keshav Raje, who was a 79 year old gentleman and was on his 17th Padayatra to Shirdi.

Dinner again consisted of rice, dal, chapatti and vegetable, but it was different than the one served for Lunch.

Day 2: Day 2 started with getting up at 4 AM, getting done with packing, freshening up, and having a tea with some biscuits and beginning to walk at 5:30 AM. We walked for little more than an hour until our breakfast halt, which was some place near Washim. Breakfast comprised of wada sambar or rather sambar wada and tea.

That’s me with 79-year-old gentleman, Mr. Purshottam K. Raje who was on his 17th Padayatra

We again started walking at 8:00 AM until we reached Shahpur at 11:15 AM for lunch. Total distance covered on day 2 until lunch break was around 20-23km.

We managed to get ourselves some good rest and again started walking at 2 PM with a halt at around 3:45 PM at Peer Baba Dargah. This was a small Dargah, but a very pleasant one and provided a cool place to rest in the hot sun. After taking a break for 30 minutes, we again started walking until we reached our night halt destination at Khardi by 6 PM. We were served fantastic hot tomato soup, which was followed by a very interesting Bhajan session. One thing I must mention, despite having walked more than 40km at testing weather condition, when the bhajan session began, there was absolutely no sign of tiredness among many Sai devotees, who were dancing to the tunes of melodious Sai Bhajan. Dinner was served after the bhajan session.

Total Distance covered on Day 2 was around 42km

Our rest break at a dargah at Kalamgaon. That is me with the folded legs.

Day 3: My group had informed me that Day 3 is the toughest of all the days as we had to cross the Kasara Ghat and as per the schedule, we had to walk almost 46km on day 3. We again started walking at 5:30 AM and on this day we had to walk much longer for the breakfast halt, which was at around 8:30 AM at a place called “Baba Ka Dhaba” near the foot hills of the Ghat. We were served nice vegetable samosas and pav. After having our breakfast, we started walking and the lunch destination was only after crossing the Kasara Ghat. This was a tedious section. I was carrying a shoulder bag, which contained some light clothes, light mattress, towels, water bottles, and gloves, torch, and some light snacks. It was quite irritating to walk in the hot sun for hours together and also having to carry a bag, which would weigh almost 10 kg, but there was no choice. Let me also mention to those people, who intend to undertake this Padayatra in future, as a part of my preparation for the Yatra, I use to walk to 8-15 km everyday for a month, but I only walked between 5 am to 7 am in order to avoid walking in the sun and with no baggage. But when it comes to actual Padayatra, you will be walking 70% of the time in the hot sun and will also be carrying some light weight. So do keep this fact in mind and prepare accordingly so as not to have any issues during the actual Padayatra.

Kasara Ghat stretch was really a very tiring stretch in our entire Padayatra. Finally, we completed the Ghat section and came across a well, where most of the Padayatris took a break to take bath. Water from that well was ice cold, but the bath was refreshing. Well was located on top of the hill, but it still had a lot of water. Considering it was the month of January, not sure where it would get the water from. But it was really a very refreshing break for us. We again started walking until our lunch halt at Gatandevi Temple after the Ghat. We had almost covered a distance of 28-30 km on day 3 until lunch. But in terms of stress and pain, that 20-30 km would be equivalent to having walked 50 km considering that we had to walk uphill. Difficult part of the Padayatra was done. After lunch, we again had to walk a distance of 16-18 km until our night halt destination, which was at Ghoti (Igatpuri Taluka).

View from Kasar ghat.

Place to take bath in open

Ghoti is a small town and our place of stay (Rajaram Salvi Subhagruha) was right in the market area, where you could find all kinds of shops. On day 2, the zip of my haversack bag broke because of excess luggage. It was giving me some anxious moments as this is the bag, which goes in the truck and I had to make do with tying some rope around my bag. But I could get that problem fixed at Ghoti, which took some pressure off me. Please note that most of the shops in the market at Ghoti close down by 7:30 PM. So if anyone wants to buy any stuff, then they have to do it well before 7:30 PM. Our place of stay at Ghoti was filled with mosquitoes until about 7:30 pm. But surprisingly once we hit the bed at 10:00 PM, there were no signs of any mosquitoes. But it is preferable to carry mosquito repellants with you on such Padayatras.

Some of the Padayatris started getting boils on their feet as can be seen in the picture below. But no one stopped the Yatra despite the pain and discomfort. Boils would be punctured with a needle and a tape put on it.

Day 4: As usual started walking at 5:30 am. Breakfast halt was at a place near Bhandardara at 8 AM. Breakfast served was Misal Pav. Lunch break was at Kavatdara, which was at a distance of 22-24 km. This was a nice hall. I suppose this place was managed by the Shirdi Sansthan itself. Night halt was at a temple called Prayag Tirth at Pandhurli (Sinnar Taluka), 18 km from Kavatdara. Since we reached quite early at this location, we got a chance to visit this small temple of Khandoba on a hillock. View from the hillock was great and cool breeze that was blowing was very pleasant. At the temple, most of the Padayatris had to sleep out in the open courtyard and it was chilling cold. I had to wear a half sleeve T-shirt, then over it a sweat shirt and over it a thick woolen sweater, monkey cap, woolen hand gloves, socks, blanket and still I couldn’t get a good night sleep as I kept waking up because of the cold weather. My guess is temperature at this place would have been around 8 degrees at night if not less than that.

I should mention here the fact that attending to natures call is done in the open areas in the fields or behind bushes, but do not expect proper restrooms or toilets facilities during such Padayatras. Even bathing is done in the open as can be seen in the pictures below. So stop using hot water if you intend to go on a Padayatra, just enjoy the cold shower even in winters.

Day 5: This is the day when we had to walk the maximum distance, a distance of 30km until our lunch break and then again almost 18-20 km until our night halt destination. Lunch halt was at Hotel Tulsi at Sinnar. We were served some good hot Bhaakris here. Night halt was at a place called Vavi or Wavi. At this place, one gentleman Mr. Pandharinath Tajne sponsored the dinner of the entire Padayatris (300 people) at his expense and also arranged for a music DJ for Sai Baba’s Palki Yatra through the entire Vavi village, only Sai Baba’s songs were played. The mood at this Yatra was electrifying with loud music, lights, fireworks and everyone dancing to glory. The entire village witnesses Baba’s Palkhi Yatra. This was 2nd year that they had conducted such a Yatra through the village. The previous year, being the 25th year of Shraddha Padayatrik Mitra Mandal, when this Palki Yatra at Vavi started.

Now coming back to our place of night halt at Vavi, we were holed up at a local school and only 3 classrooms were opened for the entire set of 300 Padayatris. ¼ area of each classroom was filled with the benches so at max only 15 people could be accommodated in a single classroom, which meant more than 200 people had to sleep in the open area of the school. Vavi was really very very cold and I had never experienced such cold weather in India before. Night temperature would have been 3-4 degree. It was very difficult to be out in the open even to have our dinner and imagine what it would have been to wash our hands in that ice cold water. People started making bonfires to keep themselves warm. I was lucky to have gotten myself a place to sleep in the classroom. But imagine the plight of the people, who had to sleep outside, unthinkable. But, in the midst of all this problem of weather, there was a feeling of excitement. Shirdi was only 35 km away. Job was almost done and we couldn’t wait for the 6th day to begin and have the Darshan of our Guru, Sai Baba.

Day 6: Began walking at 5:30 AM, pitch dark, when we had to find our way through the village. But we didn’t have to worry much as we had an expert amongst us, Capt. Jadhav, who led the entire group on Day 5 and Day 6. Challenge was to keep pace with him. Breakfast break was at a temple after covering about 18-20km, where we were served Sabhudana wada, since it was a Thursday. I must a make a mention here that despite being on a stressful Padayatra, there were people who were fasting on Mondays and on Thursdays.

Official lunch break was at Rahata, which comes after walking about 30 km. But about 15-20 people took a slight detour and took a break at a local farmer’s house, where we took bath and had our lunch. This was a good experience, getting to see the rustic village life, tasting food cooked on a chulha, which was bhaakri, onions and 2 vegetables.

After the lunch break at Rahata, the distance to be covered was only 5km, but this was distance where we had to wait for all the Padayatris to assemble and walk together as each Padayatri would get a chance to carry Baba’s Palkhi.

We started the Palki Yatra to Shirdi at around 3 PM and reached Shirdi Temple by 5:30 PM and by 6:45 PM, we were done with the Darshan. All Padayatris get special entry provided by the Shirdi Sansthan is informed in advance about the Padayatra details like number of people, start destination, number of days taken etc.

Palki Yatra through Vavi Gaon

Palki Yatra through Vavi Gaon.

After the Darshan, vast majority of the Padayatris catch the night bus back to Mumbai, while few others Baba’s Palki from Rahata to Shirdi stay back for one additional day in Shirdi.

There are many mandals or groups that organize such Padayatras. During our Padayatra trip, we saw a group from Dombivli, which had 1200 members and most of the members were wearing dhotis and were walking barefoot. Then there were groups from Prabhadevi, Parel, Mumbra, Vasai and as far as from Surat and many more. We also witnessed a cycle Yatra from Vasai to Shirdi to be done in 3-4 days.

Every year lakhs of devotees go on a Padayatra, which is something I never knew until my personal experience of Padayatra.

This ended the beautiful experience of Padayatra to Shirdi without any problems faced by me. I thank all those, who helped me in making my wish come true, and a special thanks to Mr. Kiran Patil, Capt. Vinod Jadhav, without whom things would not have been smooth and trouble free.

For people interested in doing the Padayatra, here is the list of things to carry:

Preferable to walk in track pants. Avoid Jeans.
Carry thick woolen sweaters if walking in the winter season.
Track Suit (Top). Still better to carry a hooded jacket.
Woolen Gloves (1 pair).
Torch Light.
Monkey cap.
Thin Towel (Pancha)
Sleeping bag—preferable.
Blanket
Air pillow
Insect repellant like Odomos
Slippers (1 pair)
Light weight shoes. But let it not be a brand new one. Use it for few weeks rigorously to avoid getting shoe bites or water boils.
Carry enough pair of socks. One pair each day as washing and drying may not be possible. Your feet will feel fresh.
Sun Glasses.
Sun Tan lotion.
A waist pouch to carry your mobile, cameras and cash.
A haversack to dump your clothing for the entire trip.
Small shoulder bag to carry light items during your Padayatra.
Cold cream
Oil
First aid kit like band aid, antiseptic cream, pain killer etc.
Finally do prepare yourself for the Yatra by walking at least 15 km daily for a couple of weeks before the Padayatra.

Dear All,
Happy Baba's day
Our Shirdi Sai Baba is the Abode of Mercy ,HE is deeply affectionate towards His children and is always by their side in the time of need. He is present in every atom of this universe be it animate or inanimate.And HE can be seen and witnessed by those who sincerely pray ,desire for HIS darshan and have immense faith on Him.Sai Baba is the only helmsmen in today's time for His bhakta ,by His mere darshan,He does away with fear,problem and pains of human's worldly life .

Today I am sharing 6-7 Sai leela shared by Sai devotees across the globe expressing the love of Sai Baba for His children.Before we proceed to Sai experiences I would like to mention a anonymous Sai devotee has left her query in the comment section of the following post http://www.shirdisaibabakripa.org/2008/10/sai-vachanthe-absolute-truth.html
and needs input from other Sai devotees on the dream the devotee had. I am copying the comment and would request the readers to leave their view in the comment section for the anonymous Sai devotee to read and understand .Jai Sai Ram .Manisha

"Last week, I saw baba in my dreams. The small murti of baba was draped with a shawl. As I uncovered it the baba comes alive. As if i woke him up from the sleep. His eyes blink very fast. I get scared and step back. Further he turns around and looks at me. Again today i dreamt of baba wherein we (my neighbours and other people from the building where i stay) were not able to complete the arti of Sai baba. And after 2 attempts i, holding the diya, look into baba's eye directly. And he blinks as he did in my previous dream (fast). This time he smiles at me - not a complete smile but just a gentle curve on the lips. Pls tell me what to do and what does this mean. - Shri SAI Devotee".

Baba came as Lord Ayyappa:

Happy Baba's day to all.

Sai Sevak Manishaji, thanks for sharing leelas of baba through many devotees, for sharing new albums in your Bhajans website and inputs in your Temples website with the grace of Saibaba. Thanks to the devotees for their share, without which we as a Sai family cannot find ourselves in positive spirit and as answers from baba, when difficulties surround us. It reflects Sai's grace for all of us. Baba bless all, as always.

Baba's grace, would like to share this leela. Please post the two pictures enclosed herewith. In Chapter-20 of Shri Sai Satcharita, devotees would have studied, "How Das Ganu's Problem was Solved by Kaka's Maid-Servant" and reads....

"...The people who were present then and heard this, thought that Baba was joking and said, "How could an illiterate rustic maid-servant solve the difficulties of this nature", but Das Ganu thought otherwise. He was sure, that whatever Baba spoke, must come true, Baba's word was the decree of the Brahma (Almighty). Das Ganu was taught the "lesson of contentment by the attitude of mind" practised so simply by the maid-servant........ HIS Unique Method of Teaching, "It is impossible to describe all the methods, that Baba used in imparting instructions to His Bhaktas. In this particular case, He sent Das Ganu to Vile Parle, where he got his problem solved, through the maid-servant. To those, who say that it was not necessary to sent Das Ganu outside and that Baba could have personally taught him, we say that Baba followed the right or best course, or how else could Das Ganu would have learnt a great lesson, that the poor maid-servant and her Sari were pervaded by the Lord."

This reminds of a similar experience on my part. We are undergoing lot of worries in the family. When this was going on everyday, I went to Sai temple daily, to keep off my burdens.

The flower-seller who is a rustic women, not much read, used to be kind would enquire about my family's welfare.
Baba almost given her the port-folio of a consultant and as HIS messenger, she is good natured and most of the devotees coming there, chat with her and exchange views which will also have messages from Baba. The devotees also offered prasad to her that they got from other temples.

We will chat about baba's ways. I will highlight the positive side of her regrets and similarly she used to advise me to face challenges coming our way. She will keep on telling why i am worried off and on, when baba is there for me and narrated baba's leela for her, to give confidence to my situation. She is running a poor family's life by mortgages.

Last month it was raining continuously for 4 to 5 days and also shivering weather condition, people normally hesitate to go out, for fear of getting fever, cold and cough. Due to heavy rains, she could not go to the whole sale bazaar to procure flowers for sale. She managed couple of days without business. The next evening, she found herself in the utter poverty situation with no rice & other items for cooking for next day. She was in extreme fear of how she will make the coming days with nil business due to rough weather. She has to go out, find ways even to meet someone and ask for any immediate help but was raining heavily. She prayed rigorously to Saibaba to rescue from this nightmare.

That evening one of the sai devotees came to see her and gave the prasad which was having very little grains of rice. She was stunned to see rice grains in prasad and understood baba had sent this devotee to indicate HIS rescue mission. But our human mind is always clouded with doubts till we see the real solution or surpass the situation.

That late evening her husband came with a bag of approx.15 to 20 kgs. of rice, with baba's face printed on both sides of the bag as that rice is a Sai brand, she was speechless and started crying & thanking baba for his protection. When she enquired about this, he told, one of Lord Iyyappa devotee called him to attend the Iyyappa happening in some big hall and asked him to assist in that pooja. The flower-seller's husband was doing regular Iyyappa pooja as it was the month of margashirsha. In that occasion, one of the devotees who participated, gave this rice bag to this person as anna-dhaan who is actually in need. The flower-seller all in awe narrated further about the high quality of that rice which she never had in her life.

Baba became Lord Iyyappa to them on that day confirming their faith. Baba gave the message, God is one and sincere devotion, being good and kind to all as important virtues to get God's help and not even any charity is expected in the case of people who cannot do such work. Thus Baba emphasized, whatever problem, pray & remember Sainath ever and HE only can give us the best solution timely.

Let Saibaba grace us all, even to cultivate that patience & faith, when that is much wanted. Sayee Charanam. Iyyappa Charanam.
Jai Sai Ram

Baba In Moon:

SAI RAM
Sister Manisha,

Thank you for sharing this beautiful site. I have just started receiving this and it is so wonderful to see Baba touching so many lives. I was particularly moved to read about the Premature baby. May Baba bless this family and protect them with all his Love.

I would like to share my recent experience with you and your readers.

On the 8th January 2012, the first Full Moon day of the year, I woke up early as usual to take part in prayers in the Baba temple near my home. It was a beautiful morning prayer which started with all devotees being able to bathe the statue with milk and scented water. After the Aarti and taking prasad I rushed home to fetch my husband and 3 friends to attend the opening ceremony of a new Baba temple about 25 kms from my home. As I was invited to this ceremony, I was determined to attend. It was a wonderful day and after lunch we all returned, feeling truly blessed.

The rest of the afternoon was spent so peacefully. Although I was physically exhausted but there was such a renewed feeling in me. In the evening as always on Full Moon day, I sit in a special meditation. This time I felt the need to sit outside under the amazingly beautiful sky. There was a sense of great peace even in my meditation. Feelings I could not explain. When I was done with the meditation I continued to sit outside and was thanking Baba for such a lovely day. I suddenly felt something say to look up in the sky. What transpired after that left me speechless. Initially I felt I was just imagining and was in a dream state. I jumped up and got my camera and the results are what you will see.

This is not the first time I have seen this in the sky. Previously I did not believe my eyes and refrained from telling anyone in case they thought I was seeing things.

I showed the pictures to the Pandit in the Baba temple near my home and he immediately recognised the images and told me I am lucky to see the images like this.

A few days later, after I shared these photos with my friend in Shridi, he told me that similar things happened that same night in Shridi. I am unable to confirm this as I have searched the Internet for a story. He said some people had witnessed it, taken photos and the local news carried it.

However I saw these images and would like to share these pictures with all.
Jai Sai Ram .

BABA IS ALWAYS PRESENT EVERYWHERE:

SAI RAM

I would like to remain anonymous and just be known as Baba's devotee.Sai heard my prayer again...
.
Hi Manisha sister,
How are you?
Please post my experience here.This is the third time I am submitting sai leela.Please don't disclose my maid id.Sai is helping other children with the help of another sai child like you .
You are so blessed by Sai ram.

Experience 1:

Earlier I submitted sai leela that how baba saved my sister from lung tumour surgery.(http://www.shirdisaibabakripa.org/2011/04/sharddha-and-saburi-heals-sai-bhakt.html)
Yesterday she had an appointment with chemo therapist for check up and scanning after six months of her surgery.

Even though I have faith on baba, still I was so tensed about her check up.Then I prayed to our beloved father Sai ma and vowed that if reports comes clear I will post my experience in this site.Our sai is so kind and he proved that he is with his devotees in tough times.Reports came clear and doctor asked her to come after six months.Thank you so much sainath.
Love you so much baba.....

Experience 2:

Once I went to my aunt's place.During chit chat we were talking about our Sainath.She did not believe in sai baba much that time.Once my aunt and uncle went to Shiridi.
when they went for sai baba darshan, infront of sai's prathima she asked sai ma that If you are
really there please give one rose flower from any devotee here.Then what our sai did you know, pandit ji near sai's prathima gave one rose to my uncle.then he gave the same rose flower to my aunt.Tears rolled out from her eyes.From then she became staunch devotee of sai ram.
What a beautiful saileela isn't it?

Experience 3:

Sai baba came to my home on holy day...

In Sai Satcharitra ,I read about sai coming to hemadpanth house's on holy day.While reading that chapter I felt that how lucky hemadpanth was because baba came to his house on holy poornima day.
After that I forgot about that and on holy day I planned to do pooja to sai baba, so I got up early and flowers came outside.So I went down to buy some flowers.After I came back and opened the door there was one cover from saisansthan trust.I was so happy and took that cover and opened it immediately.
One sai baba photo and udi packets were there in that cover.I felt so happy and I offered my pooja happily to sai ma.Then i remembered long back I gave donation in sai sansthan trust, so they send me prasad now.Isn't it really baba's sankalp ??

Because morning 7 am no postman will come and deliver it.I enquired my maid, she told that cover came one day before holy day and she forgot to give me on that day, so she came and kept it on the door lock on holy poornima day morning.Sai's sankalp is that I should receive that cover on holy poornima day...
If you ask something with full devotion he will definitely give it to his children.
Sai blesses all his children.

Touching Baba’s Feet:

Hello Manisha Didi, hope you are well and thank you so much for all the work you do to spread Baba’s name among us. Please do not disclose my name or e-mail address.

Om Sai Ram. This is my 2nd time sharing my experience here in this wonderful space Manisha Didi with Sai Baba’s grace provided for us. I am a Malayalee Christian girl living in the US. I have been a firm devotee of Baba for the past couple of years now. I wanted to share the wonderful experience that I had on New Years Day with Baba’s grace.

The Sundays I skip church I go to Baba’s temple which is about 40 minutes away from where I live. The Thursday before New Years Day (Sunday) I was thinking about going to Baba’s mandir as I had that week off from work. When that Thursday came for some reason I was feeling very lazy to even step out of the house. I was feeing very bad too that I was feeling lazy to go see our Baba but I couldn’t bring myself up to drive for 40 minutes that day. So I apologized to Baba for feeling lazy to go see him but I promised him that I will see him on New Years Eve or New Years Day for sure. I was thinking about going to a friend’s house for New Years Eve party but on that day I decided not to go.

I decided to spend time with my parents and pray to Baba at midnight. So I did exactly that. Right at midnight I lit candles in front of Baba’s small idol I have in my room and prayed to him for his blessings, good health, and all happiness for everyone this New Year and went to bed. ! I woke up on time to go see Baba. So I drove all the way to the temple and as I walked in to my left I see a long line of devotees waiting for something. So instead of going straight to Baba I joined the line and was waiting for my turn (at this point I really don’t know what I am waiting for. I was just following rest of the people and was thinking they are waiting for the Prasad that the priest might be distributing). There were lot of people in front of me and I could see only the head of Baba’s idol as I am not that tall. All of a sudden I saw this one older lady walking away from Baba’s idol and she was always around to help the priests with chores around the temple. So I thought “she’s sooo lucky she got to step on top where Baba’s idol is and she was fortunate enough to stand right next to him).

I have always wanted to touch his feet and pray but I knew that was impossible as devotees were not allowed to step on top of where Baba’s idol was. I wished fo! r a second that I was the helper lady. Then I went back to not! paying attention about what was going on around me. I was chanting Baba’s name. As I got closer to the beginning of the line there was a younger guy giving hand sanitizer to everyone in the line. I also took some and then I noticed people who were standing in the line, going one by one next to Baba’s idol and praying by touching his Holy Feet. I was like “Baba, read my mind or heard my complaints. I will finally get to touch his feet and pray.” When it was my turn to step up I went to Baba, knelt down and touched his holy feet and prayed till tears were flowing from my eyes.

I also wanted to see Baba wearing a blue and pink outfit for some reason that day. But he was wearing an orange one. But he did satisfy to wish by wearing a pink garland and the whole stage was decorated with blue peacocks. It was a beautiful sight. I cannot thank Baba enough for letting me touch his holy feet and start my year with his blessings. I already know that this year is going to be beautiful and even if I have to face challenges that will be because of my karma and Baba will be holding my hand to face the challenges. I have decided to do Sai Thursday Vrat that day and I have completed my 2 weeks so far with his grace.

Sree Sachitananda Sadguru Sai Nath Maharaj Ki Jai!!

Anadha kodi bramanda nayaga rajathi raja yogi raja para bramha sri
sachidanadha satguru sai raj maharaj ki jai

Jai sai ram.

Sathguru's Blessing and grace.

Dear Sai devotees,
Thank you all for giving an opportunity to share the blessings and Leelas of Sai.

I am not able to recollect the day when i started to believe Sai. But unknowingly and unintended Sai entered my life.I am not a deserving soul, but its Just the mere Grace and mercy of the Lord, that i am in to the path of realising the Omnipresent Sai

I have experienced many a miracle of Sai and I wish I am able to recollect and list those and wish that the readers have the patience to read the entire list:

1.I visited Shirdi for the first time. i wish i could go again and see the Lord.

His Leela started the day before leaving to shiridi. I had not packed my things for Shirdi and was struck up at office the day before, for some production support. I wanted to leave the day early but could not
because of the support work and was awaiting the go-live mail from the customer so that i could start off from office. I wanted to start off atleast by 08:30 PM to 09:00 so that i could go pack off things for
the next day travel at 07:00 am morning.

I was awaiting impatiently and i was told that the customer sign off would take around 11:00 PM night. I started to panic as i had lot things to pack and inclusive of some offerings to Sai. It was 08:30 PM
and i was praying to Sai like, 'If you are there , can i not get the sign off mail early. WHat are you doing, I want to pack off my things to come and see you and you are giving me troubles. Is this the way
you bless your devotee?'. It should be around 08:58 PM the night?(2 minutes to 09:00 PM). Believe me the sign off mail came at 08:58 PM . The production upgrade which was supposed to happen at 11:00 got completed 2 hours early. TIll date i dont know how it happened. Usually it goes on a delay than the said time. But this was the first time it was early.It has never happened again. Jai Jai to Sai Ram. Need not to say i started off happily thanking Sai whole heartedly.

2.At Shirdi, i was mesmerised on seeing Sai. I wished i could get 6 flowers from Sai as a recognition from him of our familys presence in the temple (we are six in number, so i wished for 6 flowers). It was
night aarthi and the next second of this thought, i realised that in Shiridi temple Poojari's dont distribute prasadams or flowers as they do in the south indian temples. So the thought faded off, i started to pray to Sai for my needs and thank him for the blessings.

After the worship was over, we came out and to my surprise the security guard gave a bunch of rose flowers and do you know what, there were exactly 6 flowers in the bunch. I went goose bumps and
thanked sai for taking care even the smallest of my wish. Jai sai ram

3.Another Leela is at my work place. The appraisal cycle was due to happen. I didnt expect much hike in the appraisal as that year they had cut my bonus saying the bonus is for people who are going to stay
for a long time and is not applicable for me as I have initiated a project change. I was not in good terms with my manager too. I was reading Sai sath charithra and was about to complete the round of
reading.

2 days left to complete, my boss called me to discuss. I didnt know why he has called for, and for my surprise, he told i am being giving 15% hike. I was just surprised and thanked Sai for his grace. On the day of completing the reading the Sai sath charithra i got the printed papers with 15% hike and I got the highest hike% within the project So far in the past 4 years i havent got a hike of 15%. This is the 1st year with the acquaintance of Sai i got this much increase in salary and can you imagine a hike when you are not in good terms. Jai Jai sai ram

4. My sister's daughter studying U.K.G was not selected for a intra-school competition. I was reading sath sarithra at that time and she came and told me that she was not selected. I felt bad as she
appeared sad. I just thought Why to worry sai takes care of his children better and just prayed "Bestow all your blessings on this little kid and guide her in your own ways." After 2 days or so, the kid came and told that she is selected for the singing competition as another girl didnt want to participate. We were just thinking how she would perform well as she has got only a days time to learn. The Bharathiyar song they taught in school is known to my MOM also and she coached her. To all our surprise the Kid performed so well and received laurels. Jai Jai to Sai Ram

5. For the same kid, she participated in a fancy dress competition and it was of very short notice. My sister had broken her leg and was not able to go out to collect the materials and dress for the competiion.
I was held up at office in that particular week and was returning home very late and could not go in search of shops for the fancy dress. We all were feeling bad that we could not help the kid much. We did only little things with paper charts, the day before the competition and was not up the mark. I just prayed Sai that the Kid should not feel bad as she will not win any prize because the preparation was not to
the level mark. To all our surprise she won the first prize. Last year she didnt get any inspite of all our best efforts. But this year just a small little prayer to Sai made a huge difference inspite our bad
efforts.

The list of Sai’s blessings and grace are end-less and i am able to feel the very presence of the Lord quite often. Certain of the above may be childish wishes and expectation to Sai from me but still I
want to share those to all the Sai Devotees to let all of us know that Sai fulfills even the simplest of the desires and whatever are your wishes and desires whichever is true and honest will be fulfilled by Sai in his own ways.

Wishing all of us that we get more and more of Sai’s blessings and grace and grow deeper and deeper in the Lord.

Jai Sai Ram
Best Regards
Revathy

Baba Blessed Us:

Manishaji please put my experience of saibaba for benefit of all sai devotees

Dear sai devotees,

OM SAI RAM

My name is Sanjay Sharma, I am from Bangalore, i have a miracle of baba to be shared with all
of you, i had been to Shirdi recently on new year i reached on 31st of Dec,before leaving Bangalore
i tried to get an accommodation in Shirdi when tried lot of hotels i was not getting rooms less 3500/- to 5000/-per day then i thought let me leave this problem to Sai for him to solve, you believe it or not when i reached their i went to some 4/5 hotels but i could not get room but i was very sure sai is always there when we need him, i then got an excellent hotel newly built just 7days old at 2500/- per day this is great when lakhs of devotees visited during new year.

The next miracle i will never forget in my whole life time is, while my leaving Shirdi on 3rd of Jan i bought a big photo of Saibaba from shirdi the photo was very big almost 3 feet x 4 feet we had our train booking in Karnataka express coach no S8 seat no 54 & 60 since me and my wife both were there ours was a upper berth and a lower berth my wife said we will keep baba photo on the upper berth, since the photo was big it occupied the whole seat then we were decided and we finalised both of will adjust the whole night and somehow reach Bangalore.

Now my dear friends u believe it or not our great Sai made a miracle the seat no 61 meant for somebody else that person did not come at all i had a great journey the train was full not even rac tickets were confirmed people were standing and coming it is one of the busiest route were always train are full and can u imagine in such a train i get a berth without paying even 1paise and wonder not even tt came to check this is absolute miracle our great Saibaba. i gave my seat to sai and he gave me one, this is the love our sai has towards his devotees who cant see his children in trouble there are lots and lots of such miracle happened with me in my life which i will share it with all of you in near future.
thanks.

Shirdi Trip:

Sairam Manisha Ji,

My shirdi trip was fantastic. since it is Sankranthi holidays, the temple was too crowded and i got 2-3 mins of dharshan.After that i went to Ambikapur(kopergaun) to take dhondi Chavan baba dharshan. he blessed me with his hands on my head and asked for dakshina i gave him 110 rs(two note one hundred and one 10 rupee). he gave back the 10Rs and kept the 100Rs with him. he told me abt something about my past and future. but i didnt understand bcos of language problem.

I was so enthusiastic to meet Chavan baba and take his blessings and to know about my visa thing. but bcos of this language problem. i didnt get wht he said. but in few mints, one old man came to whom chavan baba bent and took his blessings. that old man can talk english, so he came to me and i told him wht hpnd. so this old man talked with both me and chavan baba at the same time and was telling each other in our own languages.

chavan baba told that my future will be good and everything will be alright.

Dont know why may be i had high expectations on the trip and chavan baba; the trip and dharshan didnt satisfied me that well. I was back with some pain in the heart about this. SURPRISE, the next day after i came from shirdi(just few mins back) i received Saicharitra book with a beautiful baba photo in it. the baba in this photo has kukum on his left hand index finger(which he keeps on his right leg). i have once subscribed for free book through our site, but that is longtime back.

Another surprise this morning since i was dull and feeling pain in my heart i went to (yoursaibaba.com) to ask what was my mistake as i didnt get satisfaction of dharshan and the number that inspired at that moment was 116 which said "Remember Saibaba, donate some food and your heart desire will be fulfilled".

So once i received the Sai Satcharitra book, i opened a random page to read guess what 116 page is opened.

I was happy that baba indeed blessed my trip.

One more miracle, before i went to shirdi and before we booked the tickets i asked baba, please allow my grandmother to come along with us to shirdi. And baba has accepted the prayers and she travelled with us, it was the first time she came to shirdi.

I have taken prayers to shirdi and left it on baba's samadhi.Baba will surely address all of our problems and bless us.
Sairam baba. Sairam.
Jyothi.

Sai Baba Saved Me and My 30 Week Old Premature Baby -Experience By Reena.

noreply@blogger.com (Manisha.Rautela.Bisht) — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 02:29:00 +0000

Sairam ,
Happy Baba's day to all

After reading todays experience readers will be choked with tears.They will feel strong wave of love for Baba and will be left spell bound acknowleding how Karunamayi is our Shirdi Sai Baba.The same happened with me as I went through the experience shared by sister Reena.

I would also like to mention that it is not only the grace of Baba on His bhakta but also the unconditional love and faith of His bhakta that compells the Lord to come running for the welfare of the devotee.I am reminded of Baba's word as stated in Sai Charitra ,where Baba says "It is My special characteristic to free any person, who surrenders completely to Me, and who does worship Me faithfully, and who remembers Me, and meditates on Me constantly." It is always the test of Bhakta to hold on steadily to the holy feet of His guru no matter what the situation is,when this is realised by Bhakta the Lord reveals Himslef and carry His bhakta in His own arm across the worldy afflictions .Similary in this experience shared here , same kind of faith sister Reena had in Baba and Baba graced her and her baby with His blessing .

Sister Reena has sent another mail where she mentioned about devotees who came in touch with her after reading her Sai experience in the website "Sai Baba Blessed us with Child" and after interacting with her their faith increaed many fold in Baba .They became hopeful and kept their patience and faith strong in Baba.Someone who lost patience and could not hold on to Baba for long lost Him. Others who held on to Him went on to have children and are happy that their desire was fulfilled.

I would request readers to leave comment for sister Reena just below this post in comment box .Jai Sai Ram .

Manisha sister,

Sairam.

Hope you remember me, we spoke many times through emails and I can never thank you enough for doing such a great job of creating and maintaining the blog. After so many months again I have an experience to share with all Sai devotees. It is about how Baba saved my 30 week old premature baby (I delivered the baby at 30 weeks) and how He saved my life too....!! Posting the same here...Can you please publish the same on your blog?

Om Sri Sainathaya Namah:

“Sai Baba, Thank you very much for everything”. Here’s a story based on an experience of how Baba helped me through pre-term labor, saved me and my baby girl.

With Baba’s blessings, I have a 2-year old boy (I have posted my experience on this blog, (Sai Baba Blessed us with Child)-( http://www.shirdisaibabakripa.org/2010/02/sai-baba-blessed-us-with-child.html). As soon as he turned 18 months old, I started to look out for a job. It was a pretty dicey situation since we are settled in the US and it becomes challenging for parents, mothers especially, to take a decision on whether to stay back at home and take care of the child or go to work. I personally think there are pros and cons to both.

I was working for most part of my career before I conceived my first child and then decided to resume work after he was a year and half old. Working was important to me since we have a loan in India to pay off and I thought the sooner I take up a job, the more I would be able to support my husband towards this responsibility. But I left this decision too to Baba.

I prayed to Him that if He liked so, I should be able to find a job. It was apparent that He consented to and blessed and I found a job very easily. However, the travel was a little long since I had to travel all the way from New Jersey to New York. It was just a month past since I had joined and the next month I found out that I was pregnant. Of course, we were planning for another child but we realized things happened too soon. I didn’t know how to react – whether to jump with joy or feel shocked. How was I going to manage both the job and the pregnancy? I knew this was going to be a big challenge for me, especially the travel part. I used to spend 3 hrs in commute everyday.

It was not as if I did not think of quitting. But I also knew that it was not going to be easy. I had just gone from a dependent to work visa and the transition back was not going to be smooth. And then I thought that while so many women carry their pregnancies well while working, why can’t I? It was purely Baba’s will that I should conceive around that time and also work. I took things in this way and carried on. I just left everything to Baba and told myself that He will take care.

The first 3 months were not easy since I had severe bouts of nausea and vomiting. I would vomit anywhere and everywhere during travel, in the office, while returning from work. I started to feel miserable and frustrated. I couldn’t concentrate on my work, which in its own way was too demanding. The only thought that came to my mind was to quit, quit and quit work.

On the pregnancy side, I went for my ultrasounds and what was worse; I discovered that I had fibroids (benign tumor of the uterus). It meant I could have trouble with my pregnancy although my Drs advice was to wait and watch. I expressed to my husband several times my desire to discontinue work. But he explained to me that nothing could be done that soon since it was barely 2 months since I joined work.

Any impulsive thinking and action could spoil terms between us and our employers. Added to that, obtaining a work visa in future could prove to be more difficult. Besides, he explained to me as to how so many women go out to work despite their pregnancies and carry off both successfully. Since we took a step in that direction already, it would be unwise to go back, especially if the doctor did not indicate any health issues. I was aware of all that my husband explained and deep inside I knew he was right.

Life is not that easy that we can decide to quit and join back work as and when we desire. We are immigrants in another country and are expected to abide by and respect the laws of that country.

I was getting irritable day by day. But I did not stop praying to Baba. My worship to Baba continued in the same way. I started to take leave from work. I would go to work when I felt well and stayed back when I felt unwell. All through, my faith in Baba remained strong. Many times I prayed that I should get a job close to my home so that the commute would be easy.

I kept asking Baba why He allowed so many things to happen at the same time? Pregnancy, long travel job, and fibroids. The only answer I kept getting was “Surrender to Me and I will take care of you”; why fear when I am here?” I thought that if Baba should want me to quit, then I must be thrown out of the office on some pretext or the other, until then I wouldn’t leave.

In other words, despite all the circumstances against me, I will not quit until either the Dr advised me to or my client laid me off. I wouldn’t do anything by myself and remain true to Him. After all, nothing happens without His will and wish. As Sri Sai Satcharita rightly says, “Even a leaf will not move without His bidding”.

Time thus passed. Eventually, as days passed, the atmosphere and work at office was getting better. My nausea subsided. I began to feel healthy and good. I was appreciated by my superiors that despite such less presence at office I was performing well in what little time I spent at workplace. Another assignment was given to me and I was enjoying it thoroughly. Days were thus passing well. I kept praying to Baba and thanked Him for the change in health condition and circumstances. I felt a wave of confidence within me. I felt as if Baba was a bolster supporting me in every way.

My fibroids however, kept growing slowly. But my dr advised that without any indication for either pain or bleeding, she would not do anything nor would advice quitting work.

I worked for seven months and just at the end of 7th month, I started going into labor. Suddenly one day, I felt a pain in my upper left leg. I thought it was some kind of sprain which would go away on its own. I ignored the pain. But look at Sai’s miracle. If He has to save His children, He will do it at any cost. He will turn around the circumstances in His devotees favor. Initially, I had my Dr appt on a Friday. I had it canceled since I had to go out that day and postponed it to Tuesday. The leg pain started on Sunday and continued through Monday and Tuesday.

I took some pain killers which are safe in pregnancy but it had no effect. On Tuesday, when I went for the routine check-up I casually mentioned to the Dr about my leg pain. The Dr reacted sharply to it. She scolded me for not informing in time and rushed me to emergency to have some tests done since any leg pain in pregnancy could mean an impact of or from pregnancy.

The tests at hospital came back negative and I was discharged. I was preparing to leave for home when my Gyneac came in and told me that she wanted to do a fetal monitoring, even though I felt fine with my pregnancy. She wanted to make sure that the baby was doing fine. Her words were “since you came so far to the hospital, let me make sure the baby is doing good too”. When she asked the hospital staff to arrange for the monitoring equipment for her, they mocked at her. They thought she was mad to do that at 11 in the night esp. since I wasn’t complaining of any pregnancy related problem. She ignored them and ran around the hospital to do her tests.

Finally, what she saw on the monitor shocked us all. I was getting contractions every 4 minutes. I was in labor. It was Baba and His sheer will that He should save me and my daughter and that is why He brought the fact to light.

From there I was admitted into the hospital and the dr administered steroids to mature baby’s lungs so that even if she is born premature, she should not have breathing problems. I was discharged from the hospital after having given drugs to stop the contractions. But, a day after I went home from the hospital, I started getting labor pains. I was re-admitted to the hospital and this time, for delivery.

The Dr performed an emergency C section and saved me and the baby. While leaving for the hospital, I carried a small box containing Udi and held it in my hand until the time I was rushed into the operation theater. Thereon, everything went well and I delivered a baby girl by Baba’s grace.

The baby was born premature at 30 weeks. Even so, she did not have any respiratory problems. Also, the Dr was very happy that she did not cut on fibroids else she said that I would have bled to death. There was no need to remove the uterus either since the fibroids did not cause any damage. Thus, all ended well by Baba’s grace.

My daughter had to stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for 2 months during which she was cared for in a very special manner. She started to gain weight steadily and eventually came back home on the 30th of Dec. All this time, I had none of my relatives with me – neither my mother, nor aunts, in laws or cousins.

My son’s nanny was coming home everyday to take care of him and surprisingly, she helped me recover. She would cook and go out of the way to ensure that I recovered. A person very dear to me and who lives in India whom I address as ‘Guruji’ asked me “who is going to take care of you beta”? just after I delivered. Immediately, I replied, "Baba will take care of me. He is with me”. My Guruji laughed and said “I was expecting this from you”.

Truly, when Baba is with us, we don’t need anyone around us. He was the one who decided things should happen this way and so they happened. He never leaves His devotees to suffer. He always comes to them in their time of rescue.

Of course, the entire episode (of realizing that I was going into labor and then being admitted to hospital and then discharged and then re-admitted and then delivering a preemie via an emergency c section) came as a big shock. Nights after that I couldn’t sleep. Fear would set in as the night came on. But eventually I would thank Baba for taking care of me.

Later on at the post-partum check up, the Dr revealed the cause of preterm labor and delivery. Fibroids were the culprit. And they usually are and nothing can be done about them during pregnancy so long as they cause any symptom like the pain or the bleeding. I had neither in my case. The Dr said that one fibroid had grown to the size of an infant’s head and had almost occupied 1/3rd of the space and there was hardly any space for the baby to move about. The baby could have got suffocated.

Sometimes, we wonder why all this should happen in the first place. I would often ask Baba, “Baba, what have I done for all this to have happened”? Why do you first allow trouble to come and then why do You save Your devotees? On thinking gradually I realized, and perhaps this is also the answer to my question, - We cannot escape from our past deeds or karmas either in this birth or the previous birth. Chapter 26 of Sri Sai Satcharita mentions a story of Baba’s contemporary Sri Gopal Narayan Ambadekar of Poona – “You must enjoy the fruit – good or bad – of your past actions. Unless the enjoyment is complete we have to take another birth and suffer again.” Again, when Dr Pillai (Baba’s contemporary) was infected with guinea worms and he sent a word through Kakasaheb Dixit that he would prefer death to pain and that Baba should transfer the pain to ten births, Baba replied “Why should he suffer for ten births when he can suffer the pain in ten days and get over with it? When I am there to grant him relief in physical and temporal matters, why should he worry”? The conclusion is that we cannot escape our karma but when we surrender ourselves to Baba completely, with heart, mind, words and actions, He takes care of us completely. He protects us and saves us.

Both my children are purely a blessing from Baba. Every time I look at them, I will be reminded of Him.

Baba has done a lot for me in this birth. About 15 years ago, He saved me from death when I was caught up in suicidal thoughts, He introduced me to my life partner, my husband, re-united us when my husband was caught up in visa problems in another country and we had to stay apart for 3 years, blessed my husband with a wonderful carrier and a great job to settle, blessed us with beautiful children.

In return, He only taught me to love Him unconditionally, for Him and Him alone despite the circumstances and conditions, not to get depressed or disappointed when faced with difficult times but to remember Him with love and meditate on Him; both in joy and in sorrow. He taught me to differentiate between the real and unreal and how to rise above everything and love Him. He made me realize how we are constantly plagued by the arishatvargas (the 6 inner enemies of mankind such as ego, pride, greed, jealousy, lust and temptation) and how gradually and subtly we tend to go away from Baba, when caught up in the net thrown by these.

No matter how much I thank You Baba, it will never be enough. Thank You so much !!
Reena.

Sweet Leela Of Sai Baba:

Sairam Manisha

Happy baba's day to all. Reading Sai devotees experiences are energy boosters. We seek more of it from Baba to keep shoo away our worries. Manishaji whenever i read new experiences in your website, i understand that baba is giving answers to many devotees for their prayers and giving hope, faith to all. I must also say, i enjoy listening to new bhajan albums being updated in your Bhajans Site. Baba bless your family. I wish to share one more sweet leela by our beloved mother Sai. Please post the sweet looking Frankfurt baba photo attached herewith and also thanks for same photo which you shared in your bhajans site.

Photo above:Frankfurt Sai Baba Temple -Germany.

On a thursday I went to shirdi sai temple nearby in the evening. After having His darshan, one unfamiliar Sai devotee advised me to do Dhuni pooja which is very powerful. He also advised me to offer Nava Dhaanya (nine variety of seeds which is available as a packet set in all pooja material shops to our budget) in the dhuni fire and said it will remove all dhoshaas, pitthru dhoshaas, obstacles, diseases etc.

On that thursday, i collected the sweet rice prasad made in jaggery and came home.
I was telling to my family members, when we get prasad from any temple be it baba's or any God's temple, the prasad generally do not have cashew nuts which is a must ingredient for any sweet item. We were reasoning out as the cost factor, often they cannot make it but even without cashews, the prasad will be very tasty.

Regarding dhuni pooja, I took it as Baba's direction and booked the same immediately for another day. I prayed to baba to make me attend the dhuni pooja successfully without any hitch and bless our family. On the previous evening of the dhuni pooja day, i purchased all the items that can be offered in dhuni fire after getting clarification from the priest of temple (like turmeric and kumkum powders, nava dhaanya seeds, coconut, samith (small fire-wood sticks used for homa/yagna), pure ghee, pure sandal-wooden sticks, sugar cubes, loban/sambrani powder, different kinds of fruits, tulsi garland, flowers) all to offer in agni.

It was around 9pm and i was searching for an auto to return home with all these things. One auto came LO! beautiful baba sticker with words Om Sai Ram on it. By this Baba gave his blessings in advance for dhuni pooja. When i came home, there was heated arguments going on for some issue. This is common in any home, if our time is not good we will find ourselves in dismay with war of words even for small issues beyond our control. My mother was totally upset due to the arguments and adding to it, she is short-tempered person too.

Our family circumstances were not quite smooth to our expectations for the past many years. So when she saw me with all these items for dhuni pooja, she lost her cool and was shouting at me continuously. She was also criticising baba for not looking at our problems. She took all kinds of baba's roop items in our shrine, put them in a cover and kept it in my room saying, she does not need HIM anymore. She was all in rage when doing these. I have experienced, even felt baba's anger before, due to my misunderstanding of His action. He pardoned me through his kind gestures.

But i could not control my mother's anger. Baba's place in our pooja room was vacuum and looked unfortunate to see Himself re-located? I was totally upset, lost hope of attending dhuni pooja especially for the welfare of our family. I was afraid of Baba's anger too but i could see my mother's rage was resembling baba's rage. To know Sai's answer, i prayed and randomly opened a page in one of the sacred books on Baba. His answer was very clear and a blessed one :). The lines i read were, how Baba used to hurl abuses on his devotees when starting something new to remove bad effects and that was considered a blessing in disguise by his devotees.

Still i was not at peace to have all the baba roop items in a cover with me. Whole night i did not sleep and was worried. To my peace and comfort, early morning she asked those items to keep in the shrine back. She took them all carefully and Sai came to us with his usual smile and blessings. I felt better and thanked baba heartily for this gesture.

I started for the dhuni pooja and she gave me a warm send off. It was as peaceful as never before and i attended the dhuni pooja on time. I did Sankalpa on behalf of all my family members and offered the items in dhuni. I was happy to get prasad. I moved on to give my prayers to the main Baba moorthi in the temple. Then I went in the queue to collect the regular prasad. I was standing 3rd in the queue. The volunteer came and removed the lid of the big vessel having that day's prasad.

LO! Baba gave me the reply in his inimitable sweetest way. HE listened to my complaint. It was sweet rice made of jaggery but this time some 30 cashew nuts visibly spread all over on top of prasad with wonderful ghee smell and hot. The staff herself gave me two cups of prasad one in each hand with 5 to 6 cashews in my cups!:)

I prayed to Baba that even for fun, i do not want His raging acts as it takes time to understand His ways and we miss Him at that moment. I thanked baba again for the cashew nuts, his blessings on the dhuni pooja day and returned home with a sigh of relief. Thanks for sharing.
Bow to Shri Sai, Peace be to all.

Baba Send Me A Photo To Worship :

Thanks to Manisha Ji for this great service..May Baba's blessing be with you always..OM SAI RAM
Dear readers,

I would like to share this story with all of you. Though it is just a simple one but I believe you can see how our Baba lives with us.

I love to go to a site http://www.yoursaibaba.com you just need to think of Baba, tell him your problems and whatever number which appears in your thought (should be within 1-720) just type it in the box, enter and you will get a solution from Baba.

Ok well some will say that it is so childish to do so.But trust me if you do it with faith you will see the answer suits your problem.I do feel as if I am talking to our Baba. Though I am happy also I will use that numbers to talk to him.

One day I entered a number.It says"YOU WILL GET A PHOTO OF YOUR FAVOURITE GOD. WORSHIP THAT PHOTO AT HOME. ALL YOUR PROBLEMS WILL BE SOLVED. SUCCESS IS YOURS."

I really didn't believe that will happen ;-) Do you know why???Because I always buy Baba's photo so that I can give to others.So me getting a photo of God is quite rare.By the way I was waiting for that photo for more than a month.I did't get any and i forgot about it.

One night I went out with my parents to do some shopping.My brother went to Perumal temple nearby. He went on his own. It was during Ayappa swami prayer period.

But take note my brother went to Perumal temple.

When I came back home, all of a sudden he came to me and handed over to me a photo which is estimately my palm size.I was a bit blurr.He don't usually do that.I took it and you know it was our Baba's picture ;-)My brother went to perumal temple, gave donation for ayappan swami but he got Baba's picture. What would you all say for that ;-) ???

My brother was mumbling something.He said to me."There was an old man in the temple. I called him since he was holding a donation box for Ayappan swami in India (For your info I am from Malaysia).

My brother said he put only some coins ( I wondered why my brother did't give him dollars ;-)).

Then that old man took out that Baba's photo from his bag and gave it to my brother.Then that old man asked my brother direction to go to another place.I wonder the person should be able to go to the place he came from.Note here please there is no good facilities for public transport nearby. Furthermore it was late night.

I did wonder why my brother must give that photo to me.Don't you think he should keep it for himself???

He didn't give to our mother or father,straight to me.He gave me that photo as if its GOLD . WHO IS THAT OLD MAN???? AN OLD MAN WITH DAKSHINA BOX????HE MUST BE BABA ;-) At last I got the photo to worship as Baba told me earlier.

I am really living in a world full of miracles after knowing Baba..He loves us so much to the extent HE do such things to make us happy.Our Baba is great.I wish to see Him always....

Baba's Darshan In Shirdi

Dear Manisha Ji.

Om sai ram. You are doing excellent work. I am from Mumbai. Don’t disclose my name and e-mail id. I want to share my experience with Baba. Kindly post this on your site. Kindly make necessary changes if required.

Please forgive me baba ji, if I do any mistake in writing my experience. I never thought of sharing this experience on site. But yesterday suddenly my mind asked me to share this experience on this site. I am narrating my experince here. I visited shirdi first time in 1998. Since then I visited shirdi every year once.

But I did not know much about Baba. And it was just tour for me. But I came close to baba in May 2010 and since then Baba is everything for me. I visited shirdi 10 times since May 2010. My last visit was in July 2011. And during my last visit I had darshan of Baba in physical form.

Since long I was asking baba to give me darshan. But I never thought that baba will give me darshan in physical form. It was Saturday, after having darshan in Samadhi mandir. My wife asked me to go Sai Parayan Hall.

It was my first visit in parayan hall. As soon as I and my wife entered in parayan room, Baba came behind us and He sat beside parayan hall door. I don’t know what happened to me but I turned behind and gave HIM namaskar with folded hands.

Baba was wearing kafni, pajama and cloth on his head, and kept a jola in his right hand.

Then I had baba’s portrait darshan in parayan hall. When I turned from there, Baba called me with one figure pointing. I went to him and he took out one neem’s leaf from his kafni and gave to me. He asked me to keep this neem’s leaf in my house poojan Mandir.

Then he gave udi packet and neem’s leaf to my my wife also. Baba’s eyes were so power full. Tears started flowing from my eyes. I told baba that I am seeing Baba in you. Baba told me that" tumara gala bhar ayaa hai"(Your throat is choking with emotion). Baba asked to me to come beside him.

Baba was constantly doing naam jaap with mala in his hand. When I got up from there, I saw baba sitting in different position. The way baba used to sit in dwarkamai masjid. Baba was sitting in that position. I was shocked to see that. Then I came out of parayan hall and baba also came behind me and he went from there. I don’t know where he went. That day I was so much tired and my eyes and body was paining a lot but after baba’s darshan,all pain went away and I was feeling refreshed. I never thought that baba will come to me in physical form. I have kept that neem’s leaf in my pooja mandir. Baba is always with us. Only we have to keep shradha and saburi.

Baba Blessed Me With Child:

Sri Sai Ram blessed me with a child.I didn't have baby for nearly 6 month. At that time I asked for baby to merciful Baba. I fully devoted myself and thought about baby being blessed by Baba. So one day I wrote two option in separate paper(chit) like 'yes' or 'no' Baba will you bless me babay this month. After that i picked up one paper kept infront of Baba and i read it. I had the answer 'yes'. So I became very happy and also my trust on Baba grew many fold.
But I didn't conceive that month.

But after 1 month I got good news and was blessed with good news that I am pregnant. Before conceiving I had 2 dreams .I saw there are 2 elephants that means one small and another one is big. And another dream I saw Ganesh pooja.This is Baba's blessing.Sai is great and His words are always powerful and true.
Sairam.

Sairam
Happy Baba's day to all,
"Oh, blessed Sad-guru Sai, we bow to You, Who have given happiness to the whole world, accomplished the welfare of the devotees and have removed the affliction of those who have resorted to Your Feet. Being very liberal and being the protector and saviour of the Bhaktas who surrender themselves to You, You incarnate yourself in this world to oblige the people and do them good. The liquid essence of Pure Self was poured into the mould of Brahma and out of this has come out the crest-jewel of the saints-Sai. This Sai is Atmarama Himself. He is the abode of perfect divine bliss. Having Himself attained all objects of life, He made His devotees desirelss and free"-SSC Chapter 38.

Here are few experiences shared by devotee revealing the love of Baba for His children .Jai Sai Ram .

How I Knew Baba:

Om Sai Ram..First of all thanks to Manisha Ji for this wonderful service
Dear readers/ Baba's devotees,

I decided to share my experience today since I wish this could make all believe Baba can pull anyone to Him at anytime.

I am from Malaysia. I am a vegetarian since 2004 and I prayed to Krishna. Its me alone not my family. To be frank I never believed in Guru. So its true I don't want to get to know any Guru or Baba. Since I have heard so many negative stories since small. Only I believed in one thing, "JUST HAVE A GOOD HEART AND DO GOOD TO ALL".

But today everything changed. I became so devoted to Baba all of a sudden. Its unbelievable. End of 2009 I had a strange dream.
At that time trust me I don't know who Baba is and for sure I am not interested to know. For me Krishna is enough.

In that dream, I saw a place which looks like an old building. It was closed with orange curtain. Then when I opened it I saw an old man wore a dress orange in colour. He was sitting there. Then I went and sat in front of him. He took out some white shells and threw on the floor. I believed it was shells used to forecast ones future. He told me something which I don't understand. Then behind me was my collegue. He was waiting to meet Baba. Thats all that was the dream.

After the dream I felt a bit weird. I search info on net. I printed out Baba's picture as what I saw in my dream. Please take note I haven't seen Baba in my life. First time I saw him was in my dream. The picture i printed out was the same. I printed out a few. I gave my mother, father and collegue each.

After giving the photos, everyone forgot about Baba. Still not important for me. Starting January 2011 wherever I go i saw Baba's centre mushrooming everywhere in Malaysia.All of a sudden. I am not joking. It was not like this before. But do you all know when I started to believe in our Baba???

I was taking care of 2 stray puppies. One day both were very ill. Almost died. Started purging blood. The doctor said they had virus and they will not survive. I loved them so much. Seeing them flat on the floor almost to death, i just pat them and said Baba will take care, you both will not die but I know they are dying. I didn't sleep the whole night.

I just prayed to Baba took some udi , put on their forehead and drinking water. They can't eat nor drink but I don't know how they drank the water with udi. Miracle happened next day ,they were so healthy just like a magic. I just knew it was Baba.

After this incident, my whole family believes in Baba. Before they made fun of me for praying to Baba. But after a few miracles that happened on them daily, they automatically honour Baba. Even I was so surprise to see the colleague i dream before started worshipping Baba. I even saw the word 'OM SAI RAM' which he stick to his PC. I just smiled. Anyway the dream in 2009 was a reality in 2011.

Sometimes we get annoyed when we feel our lives are so miserable and we get angry with Baba. But I strongly believe Baba is living with us. I can feel him with me. I dont know who He was before as being born in Malaysia and haven't been to India. Perhaps this is called miracle :-)

MAY BABA'S BLESSINGS BE WITH ALL. OM SAI RAM.

WITH LOVE,
BABA'S CHILD

Baba Did Reiki For Me:

Dear Manisha ji. I have had the blessed opportunity to share a few experiences here earlier and I draw great strength and faith from reading the experiences of devotees in this site. I pray Baba to bless you and your family with health, peace and prosperity in the New Year.

This New Year started in a very strange way for me. We were at a New Years eve party and something uncomfortable happened. I am a person who depends on Baba's permission and guidance even for something as small as parking my car in a lot. I understand that the uncomfortable incident that happened in the party was something Baba gave me but I have no idea why.

Though I would like to abstain from writing the whole incident in this post, I should say that I was terribly upset and felt very very bad. I ended up with a very bad neck sprain due to the stress and could not even hold my head up straight.

The hospitals were closed for New year and I couldn't get help.

Obviously there is only one place to go. I applied Udi on the neck and ate some. I prayed to Baba the following. 'Baba, I dont know why the New year has started like this. I know you will do everything for my good. But please make me handle this situation and please take this pain from my neck.'

I suddenly got inspired to go to a local pharmacist and get some ointment or heating pad for the neck. At first I thought I couldn't drive so I will walk to a near by shop. But it was 3 degrees and windy outside and so i decided to drive to a shop a bit farther from home.

As soon as I entered the shop I saw this old pharmacist. He was a Japanese but somehow his face or smile was very very familiar. I asked him for a heating pad for my neck sprain and he gave me a packet of very good quality. But just before I left after paying, he suddenly asked me, 'Can I send power from my hands to your neck to heal it?' I was shocked.

Japanese are very Conservative people and after living here for 10 years i know that no one has ever imposed anything like this on others. I was very happy and told him that I would love to get healed.
I myself have learnt reiki, (level 1) and did try it the previous day. But the moment the old man placed his hand near my neck i felt the warmth and within seconds i could move my neck.

The pain vanished at least 60 % after the reiki. I couldn't thank him enough.I asked him if he works there always as he looked far above the retired age. He said that he comes there very rarely. I thanked Baba for coming in the form of the old man and healing me.

Strangely, after the reiki, I felt that I am not as upset about the incident that happened during the party as I was earlier. I think I should say that my New Year started off well with Baba's grace. Thank you Baba. I love you.
Sorry for the long post.

Sai Blessed Me At Nick Of Time:

Om Sai Ram,
I am very thankful to baba to give my experience here.

I finished my diploma recently with the help of Baba only.When i was doing 2nd year diploma i had a lack of attendance for some reason.My madam called me and told "you dont having enough attendance ,you can't get the exam hall ticket, you will be dismissed from the collage".

Hearing this I was broke and that day i went to Sai Baba temple directly from collage.I prayed with full devotion and cried to Baba.I prayed Baba that i want my exam hall ticket and can He bless His child? Next day i went to collage my mam called me and gave my exam hall ticket .

I was shocked as well as i was happy.Immediately I knew this has happened only with Baba's grace.Baba saved me timely and I know He is always taking care of His children .I know He is always with me.I always remember the words of Baba Keep faith and have Patience and He shall bless.
Om sairam

Shirdi Sai Baba's Grace-Experience Of Sai Devotees-Part 25.

Sairam to all,

Happy Baba's day .

Sai Satcharitra -"My Guru never expected any other thing from Me. He never neglected Me, but protected Me at all times. I lived with him, and was sometimes away from him; still I never felt the want or absence of his love. He always protected Me by his glance, just as the tortoise feeds her young ones, whether they are near her or away from her on the other side of the river bank, by her loving looks. Oh mother, My Guru never taught Me any Mantra, then how shall I blow any Mantra in your ears? Just remember that Guru's tortoise-like loving glance gives us happiness. Do not try to get Mantra or Upadesh from anybody. Make Me the sole object of your thoughts and actions; and you will, no doubt, attain Paramartha (the spiritual goal of life). Look at Me whole-heartedly, and I in turn look at you similarly. Sitting in this Masjid, I speak the truth, nothing but the truth. No Sadhanas, nor proficiency in the six Shastras, are necessary. Have faith and confidence in your Guru. Believe fully, that Guru is the sole Actor or Doer. Blessed is he who knows the greatness of his Guru and thinks him to be Hari, Hara and Brahma (Trimurti) Incarnate."

All these years whenever I uploaded Baba's experience shared by Sai devotees tried to make a conscious effort to pass on Baba's message from Shri Sai Satcharitra as an introduction to the experience . To some it might appear as a normal act of writing by introducing the experience, but it is not .While doing seva of Baba through this platform, I have always witnessed that nothing moves without HIS will. A thought can never occur or a sentence cannot form alone by the human mind of mine if the master does not Will it.Something similar happened today .

The above excerpt from Shri Sai Satcharitra is the sheer leela of Baba and is Baba's message for the New year to all His children.Readers will know how this message came up as they go through the details below.

Today's experiences reflects the essence of Omnipotence/Omniscience/Omnipresent of Shri Sadguru Sainath.Not only the experience but the 2 New Year greeting (wallpapers) designed and shared by one of the Saikripa regular reader /Sai devotee, also carry the same message.

When I started to draft the post, I found myself lacking in describing the glory of Lord. Words fell short to initiate the introduction and to give New year message. I prayed to Baba to help me to carry His seva. He indicated to open Shri Sai Satcharitra . I opened the book randomly and here came the master's reply .
As the readers will go through the experiences shared below they will understand the Omnipotence of Lord Sai Baba not only in helping me have the message for the New year for all,an introduction to Sai leelas but aptly fitting the experiences shared today .

I thank the devotee for creating this New year greetings with soulful message for Shirdisaibabakripa's reader .

Wishing you all a wonderful Sai blessed New year .

Jai Sai Ram .

Sai Baba Antaryami -The All Pervading:

Dear Manisha Ji,

Pranams to you and all readers.

Thanks for the opportunity. Please feel free to correct or make any changes as you may think necessary and kindly post this experience in your website for the visitors to read and also kindly upload the pictures attached.

All days are BABA's days.. every millisecond is given by BABA..

Please let me introduce myself as Sai Servant.

I am passing through a very turbulent phase of my life... I lost my job, came in as a Diwali gift. I was informed about this on 25th Oct and from 1st Nov I am jobless. However I could clearly see this as Baba's leela. I see this as a spiritual break where Baba is completely transforming me into a new person, helping me realize my sins and bringing me back on track. Though I am jobless on one side, I feel Iam very lucky as I have:
1. Started watching Kakad aarti daily morning as first activity once I wake up (thanks YouTube and Live webcast by Sai Sanasthan)
2. Spending approximately 2 - 3 hours on prayers + spending more time in knowing about SAI and his wonderful leelas
3. Visiting Sai temple atleast once every week (if not twice) and spend atleast 1 hour during every visit witnessing the charisma of our GREAT SATHGURU SAI
4. I finished reading Sai Sath Charitha once (was not able to complete in 7 days) and currently reading it for the second time (trying atleast one chapter daily).
5. Experiencing the presence of our GREAT SARVAVYAPI SAI with me at home in many ways

My job loss is due to my karma and I am sure Sai will give me a better job once I have completely gone through the after effects of my karma and once he finds that I pass through his preliminary tests on SHRADDHA and SABURI.

But, see how he is formulating the whole sequence of events. This is exactly what is called the 'BLESSING IN DISGUISE'. I couldn't imagine this transformation and such a blissful experience had I continued in a job.

Being without a job is definitely painful, undoubtedly... our (my family) tomorrow is a big '?' today.. what is bothering me the most is we have got admission for our daughter in a good nearby school for P1 (of course, there is no good or bad in the world of Sai.. but I still got a very very long way to go to attain that maturity, not sure if I would ever attain it) and she had developed a dream for herself as some of her good friends would also be going to the same school with her.

But now with all these turn of events we are not sure what will happen in black and white. However, Baba has been indicating and signaling in so many ways that he is with us and will see me through this troubled phase. So, Iam really thankful to BABA for this wonderful opportunity where I am able to strengthen my relationship with him and get connected with him all the time.

Today I would like to share some of my experiences that substantiates point # 4 above. There are several such happenings, but for now I shall share whatever that comes to my mind.

COOKER WEIGHT AND PC MONITOR:

My wife and kid had gone for vacation, so some days I cook (only rice) and some days I eat outside. But for the past few days I have been thinking that I should first devote my food to BABA before I start eating (at home or outside). But due to my lust for food, I have always been forgetting to do this when the actual opportunity comes and I tend to remember my commitment to BABA only later by when 2 - 3 scoops are already swallowed.

Last thursday, after my Sai Vrat pooja, I started preparing a kind of pongal for lunch using a small pressure cooker that we use to have. As the cooker started emitting the steam I looked for the weight (the one that we put on top of the lid) and found the same is missing (I used the same cooker 2/3 days before) and somehow managed to complete the job without weight for that day. Later I searched the entire kitchen and other places in the kitchen for the weight but in vain. I prayed to BABA and requested him to show me the weight again. After a couple of days, again I thought I will cook rice at home. Since the pressure cooker weight is lost, I decided to use the electric rice cooker and this time I remembered to devote the raise to SAI once it is cooked.

The very next day, believe me, when I went inside the kitchen I saw the weight kept on top of the cooking hob and it was so visible that there is no chance of not looking at it. Remember, I had searched the complete kitchen and this particular spot where I found it again is a place where I do the cooking and it is impossible to miss it. I was extremely happy, delighted, got goosebumps and completely surprised by this act of BABA.

I understood that his lessons are very effective, small or big. This experience Iam sharing here is nothing short of TRUTH (SATHYAM) and if someone would say I would have overlooked one the previous occasions (which was certainly not the case), BABA is again teaching a philosophy that what we need is in front of us but most of the times we keep searching for these somewhere else out of sheer ignorance and lack of devotion to god. So, BABA played a small leela by hiding the weight and reminding me of my commitment to him. The lesson is so effective that I would never forget SAI when I see rice on my plate.

There was also another incident that happened the same night. Around 10:30 PM, I went to bed and was looking at some spiritual stuff through YouTube in my phone. Suddenly I found our next bedroom where we have this PC was lit up with light. When I went and saw, I found that the monitor had turned on (was in sleep mode) itself. Normally, our PC monitor gets into sleep mode if we do not use it consecutively for over 10 minutes.

On this particular day, when this incident happened, I had not used the computer for the last 5 - 6 hours and last I was browsing some SAI related stuff prior to that. So, again this was BABA telling me not to worry and that I am with you here only as Iam worried job loss and future.

PRASAD AND UDI FROM SHRIDI:

One day, about 3 weeks before, I was very upset (many a days, but that day was acute) and I was reading a few chapters of Sai SathCharitha. Baba gave me several answers to several of my queries through this reading and boosted my morale considerably.

After Sai SathCharitha parayan I sat for some internet surfing. It was around 10:00 PM, suddenly my wife came to the room and gave me a small container saying that it is Shridi prasadam and that she brought it from our friend's place. I was surprised as our friend's family did not visit Shridi and when I checked with my wife I understood that one of their friend's family had visited Shridi and given this prasad which they are sharing with us... what else? goosebumps again!! SAI is so affectionate towards his kids and he helps in all possible ways to release the stress that we take to our minds while learning his lesson and transforms it into a more blissful experience.

MESSAGE FROM A FRIEND AFTER A LONG TIME:

Some days back I came across a rare BABA photo in facebook where BABA was holding a parrot in his hands... guess many would have seen this, I am also attaching herewith. When I saw this in facebook, I also wanted to share this with many other friends in facebook (Iam not a regular facebook visitor and hardly do any postings).

When I did that, there were two friends who liked it initially and one, for me was a real surprise. A week or two letter, this friend sent me a text stating 'Tomorrow going to India. Trip to Shirdi'. I was surprised again as I knew him for several years now, but I never knew him as a Sai devotee. So I called him immediately as I was curious to know what is driving him to go to Shirdi. The story behind was again miraculous. His elder brother had come to India for tonsuring his kid and had told his Dad of their desire to go to Shirdi.

Dad felt that it would be nice if the younger son also join them to Shridi, so he called him and checked if he can join them. But the younger son (my friend) told his Dad that he may not be able to accompany for Shridi trip as there is some planned software release in the Bank where he is working, for which his presence is crucial. However he promised his Dad that he will join the family for the tonsuring ceremony of his brother's kid as that is scheduled to happen a few days after the release only.

However BABA had decided that this guy must come. The release was postponed to a later date and therefore my friend's manager told him that 'Baba wants him to come, the release is postponed'. My friend informed his Dad immediately about this who made the arrangements right away and my friend visited Shridi and had a great Dharshan.

TRIP TO INDIA AND BABA'S CARE:

Recently I had been to India on a short visit. I packed my baggage but did not check the weight. I left for the airport with prayers to BABA to accompany me and protect me all through. The taxi driver who took me to the airport was extremely kind and helped me with the baggage at both ends (upon seeing my disability). I was under the assumption that Iam allowed to carry 30 kgs and my baggage should roughly weight something around that.

When I went to the checkin counter I found that my baggage was weighing 33 kilos. The lady at the check-in counter asked me if Iam aware of my weight allowance. I told her that I think it is 30 kilos. She told me that Iam allowed only 20 kilos and the same is also printed in the ticket. Normally they print as 20 but allow upto 30 kilos (in non budget airlines). The lady told me that she could adjust 5 kilos and that I will have to pay for 8 kilos excess. Actually I had kept a few of my old shirts in my baggage to give it to some needy as I have not been using the same. So, I thought I will take out those shirts and ask my friend (who is coming to see me off) to take it back with him as the excess baggage rates are much more expensive than those shirts.

I requested a nearby person to help me to put my baggage back on the trolly and he obliged. Incidentally this person is the airlines manager it seems, he asked the lady at the counter why am I going back without checking in and she explained the situation. The manager, after hearing to the lady, told me that he will allow 30 kilos and that I will have to pay excess baggage for 3 kilos only. This time I agreed as I thought I will pay as the amount is considerably reduced. My baggage was checked in and I was asked to proceed to another counter to pay for excess baggage and collect the boarding pass.

I went to the counter and the lady over there asked for $45 cash. I asked her if I could pay by credit card and she responded positive. At the back of mind I was partially hesitant to pay the money because of my situation. As I was about to give her my credit card, I don't know what she thought, she said she will waive off the excess baggage dues and released my boarding pass. Well, you all know what would be my feeling at this moment... I recently came across Ramana Maharishi quote "if god is willing, he could insert even a big elephant into hole of a small needle".

This is exactly what BABA did for me. He split the total excess baggage of 13 kilos among three airport / airline staffs (perhaps a staff is not permitted to waive off beyond 5 kilos in her / his individual capacity per passenger) and ensured that I do not go through any hassles. I literally got tears in my eyes.

After my baggage was through, my friend came to see me off and we both went to a restaurant for some food. I took a seat in a table and my friend went to the queue for ordering some food. As I was sitting I saw another friend (not very close, but use to be my colleague in my earlier employment). I was hesitant to meet him as he was working near my last work place and we use to meet often in the car park and that I felt awkward to tell him that I lost my job. But BABA had a different plan.

That guy after ordering food came straight to my table and asked me how come Iam there. As we started conversing we realized we are traveling to the same destination by the same flight and we have been allotted two adjacent seats, 12A for me and 12B for him. I understood that BABA is traveling with me in the form of this guy. As we were in the flight I started telling him about the excess baggage miracle and that this is all because of BABA only.

When I told him this, he told me that he is also a very staunch BABA devotee and started sharing his experiences. He was telling me he also went through a similar situation when he lost his job sometime back and how BABA helped him. From thereon we were talking only about BABA and we became good friends, found a bonding in us than ever before. I must also mention here that this was the person whom I met 1 or 2 days before I lost my job in the car park and he then told me about some possible job openings in the Bank where we use to work together earlier. So, when I lost my job I remembered this and approached them, the process is still underway. I hope BABA finds me a suitable job.

On my return also I had some excess baggage.. I had 24 kilos agains 20 allowed but I was able to bring this without any hassles. On reaching my apartment, I was a bit worried as to how Iam going to manage my baggage. I requested the taxi driver and he obliged, kind of half heartedly. As the taxi driver started carrying the baggage, another Van driver who was witnessing the scene volunteered to help and took the baggage's from the taxi driver, carried the baggage to the lift, accompanied me in the lift and carried the baggage till my door steps.

I am simply flattered with BABA's compassion for me. Iam extremely confident that he definitely knew what me and my family needs and will give us the same at the appropriate time.

Thanks a ton BABA... I LOVE YOU.

Om Sai Ram... Jai Sai Ram... Om Sathguru SaiNathaya Namo Namaha..

Om Shri Sachidhananda Sainath Maharaj Ki Jai!

Humbly Yours
Proud Sai Servant

Reading Sai Satcharitha:

My experience on his miracle in reading book. I have made a habbit that everyday I read one chapter of Sai Satcharitha. One day I went to my brother's house and forgot to take my book with me. That day night I had to stay in my brother's house. Next day we had a function at home. Until lunch my mind was constantly wondering on not reading Baba's book for that day.

Around 2.30 PM i came back home in a Call Taxi. I sat in the front and travelled, wherein there was a Kumudam magazine in the dash board. I was just brushing the book, while I saw an article on Baba's leelas where in there was a story of "Hari Kannoba" in that particular edition.

I read and my mind was satisfied to some extent. Before going to bed, again I remembered that I forgot to read the book, and took my Sai Satcharitha and read the chapter I was supposed to read for that day. I was totally wonder stuck by reading that chapter, because I read the same "Hari Kannoba" chapter which I read in the car while coming back home.
What to say about Baba.... he is totally omniscient.

Jai Sai Ram

Sai Baba - The all knowing:

Sai Ram Manisha ji

I am a small Sai devotee totally dependent on Him for every thing in my life. I work in an MNC and sometimes my work gets stuck and I find myself in a lot of tension because of that. I work in software field and my work is technical. Sometimes I don't see any solution for the issues and I have to deliver the work As soon as possible.

It is in these times that I send a small prayer to Sai Baba and the work gets solved and delivered in no time. Out of nowhere I get solutions and relief of mind. A couple of days back I was in a similar situation and my work was stuck. I prayed to Sai as I always do and also all of a sudden this idea struck my mind that I would post this experience on Internet.

Needless to say the issue was solved and here I am basking in his glory and trying to spread the message of his kindness and grace through this post.

Sai Baba, knower of all the technology (in fact creator of this technology) has always come to my rescue in such critical times. Whatever I am today is only by his grace and his greatness.Baba thank you for always guiding and blessing us .
Sairam.

Baba is always with us:

I would like to share an experience where Sai proved that he is with us always,He is always by our side.I was drinking tea in my mess of the college and suddenly i felt very giddy.I got very scared and i thought something was really wrong. I

I sat for sometime in the chair praying to Sai Baba .I didn't tell anybody.Than went to take more tea.When i was going one of my college mate opened her laptop where the great Sai was blessing as a wallpaper.I saw Sai with all his graceful and caring look.I was shocked and surprised.He proved that every second He is there with us whether we call Him or not.Then after sometime i was completely fine.I was so confident and extremely happy on seeing Him.Thank you Sai for being with us.We love you so much.We have immense faith and love for you dear Baba ,please always have your graceful hand on us and guide us .

Baba Blessed me with job:

I came to Sri lanka from uk.After that i searched for job but i could not got any suitable job. One of my sister told me to do Sai BaBa's vrat and I did 9 Thursday vrat with devotion and love after that I got a part time job with Baba's blessing .I am trusting baba a lot and I am sure He will bless me always.
Jai Sai Ram

Shirdi Sai Baba's Grace-Experience Of Sai Devotees-Part 24.

noreply@blogger.com (Manisha.Rautela.Bisht) — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:14:00 +0000

Jai Sai Ram
Happy Baba's day to all ,
Different kind of Sai experiences are shared today .Witnessing Baba's answer for different situation is what is highlighted in all the shared leela's.Sai children sooner or later realise that Baba never turns His children empty hand but bless them at right time according to what He thinks is best for them .

First and second experience is shared by one of the website's regular reader. I am sharing the photo's shared by the same devotee .The first picture is an attempt by devotee followed by another leela where 5 photo's are attached as e-mailed. I feel I had never seem so many Sai Baba's photo in one place !!! It must have been a amazing feeling for the devotee witnessing this along with Baba's blessing on nick of time.Like this each Sai experience shared below has touch of Baba's presence and His silent answer at right time to them .Jai Sai Ram .

Sai's Smilestone:

Dear Sai Sister Manisha

At baba's will, please share this leela. This is no less than a leela to me. After seeing many designs with regard to shirdi sai, myself also desired to do one. But i know little usage in these methods. Once when i thought of doing something special, my mind was blank.

The moment i prayed to Shri Sai for help, without any idea, i landed in a picture of car in google with mirror in focus. To say... the image attracted me is not right but baba chose that picture through me within seconds and triggered the idea and rest all is the result with the work attached herewith.

The details of the picture:
In this picture- in the Milestone, 51 denotes- chapters of Shri Satcharitha.
18 denotes - 1918 samadhi year of Sai Baba.
I showed to my family of baba's hand in this work. My brother was taken aback at this but my father thought a while and fine tuned and told me NOT to put Moksha as common man will become scary of the word, unless it is understood properly indepth. So baba suggested the word PEACE through my father. It is all ''Smilestone'' now.

All praises to Baba and Sai only did this work for me. I could clearly experience this. Even to our little desires and prayers, baba fulfils them in a very unexpected way through ourselves. That is how Shirdi Sai is special to everyone.

Whether He helps or not on certain occasions due to karmic interferences, everyone likes HIM irrespective of their situation. This is the Greatness of the phenomenon ruling the universe called GOD !

God is the only factor which is protecting the humans, creatures and nature. Sai is the God, the Saviour, who sees all equally beyond caste, creed, color, religion, poor, rich, down trodden, diseased and treats them with mercy and kindess.

Shirdi Sai's "Satcharitha" preaches love and shun hatred which is the cause of chaotic life everywhere in the world. When one finds peace in himself/herself, they can achieve the impossible.

To practise peace, one should develop kindness towards all and spread the vibrations of goodness around them. May baba bless every individual and creature with peace, unity and benevolence.

Bow to Sai, Peace be to all.
Thanks.
Sairam

Sai Sai Every Where:

Dear Sai Manisha

With Baba's will, please share this exciting experience. Yesterday i emailed to you enquiring your's and family's wellness and to know about some albums and placing my concerns etc. briefing about karma and destiny despite baba helping us. I finished mailing but was worried about situations here. In the late evening, i came to main road, to go to an optician to collect my father's spectacles and was looking for auto.

It was dark due to winter and not much light on the road. One auto was slowing down by my side and crossed me.
I quickly walked behind the auto and called it. The driver peeped out to ask the location. I told him the same and was afraid for he will ask Rs.80/- or 100/- owing to heavy traffic for that distance. Usually the charge is 80/- for such distances and it is of higher rate. Either you have to proceed or find other modes of transport which is time consuming. To my surprise, he smiled and asked 50/- rupees only. I immediately remembered our beloved baba and thanked Sai heartily.

I bent inside and sat comfortably in the auto to look for outside. The front portion of the auto will speak a lot for itself. I was excited and took the mobile and asked the driver to move a bit and clicked to my heart's content.

Tears rolled down. (Sai Sat Charitha's lingo). It is due to my merits in past births that this auto came to pick me when i was greatly worried about family's situation ;). The greater the worries the more of SAI in numbers. Please share the five photos attached herewith.

The driver is a Shirdi Sai devotee. But shocked as well as happy to see so many bordering of auto with babas roop. Very nice driver and when i got down, to thank baba and the driver, myself voluntarily paid Rs.60/- and he thanked me in return. Wonderful miracle of sorts so far, in the ways blessed by baba. I gained hope to think baba is there for His devotees everywhere. Sincere remembrance and devotion is the need for any Sai devotee and for any non-sai devotee also to their favorite god.
Baba bless all.
Thanks.
Sairam

Sai Baba blessed my mother:

Sairam Manisha sister,

For the past 2 weeks my mom is suffering from chest pain and giddiness.Last week my mom consult my family doctor.He asked her to take ECG .The result is showing that there is some problem in her heart.So I was very much worried.We took an appointment with a cardiologist last week and they gave us an appointment on Dec 20th .

For the past 1 week I prayed Sai and gave her "Sai Udi" mixed with water daily before going to bed.Today before starting to hospital I gave Udi mixed with water to my mom and then we went to the cardiologist .I asked my mom to do "AUM SAIRAM" naam jab during each test and I also did the same.

They did the first test which is ECG test and the result is a miracle which is showing normal.Then they test for sugar,salt,urea and cholestrol level and the result for all is normal.Finally they took thread mill test and echo scan test and due to our sai's grace the result was normal.

The doctor told us that my mom is perfectly well and prescribed some medicines for chest pain.Our family members are very happy and thanking Sai for his grace.Saima,you are our Dhanvanthri
Manisha sister ,Kindly correct if there is any mistake before posting the miracle.

Laying all at the feet of Saima,
N.Priya

Acknowledgement:Best Live Darshan of my Life.

Thank you all brothers and sisters, Feel like a one great family while reading experiences of all.

Some great sole once said "You need not have anxiety to search for a Sadguru, HE recognizes bhakti from HIS place and pulls you to HIM", Same happens with all of us.

Yesterday Friday (9th Dec'11), I had opportunity to visit Shirdi. As everybody does, I too had some serious things in mind this time for me and family from BABA but this time I wanted immediate acknowledgement.

When reached near Samadhi, was expecting for a flower from priest without asking for it. Guy in front of me had his hands spread for same, but I didn't wish to do that, just wanted to happen on its own but security drove me as normally happens.

So, went a little back and turned around for darshan, within ten seconds security person came hastily and drove other people in front of me and I expected he will do the same for me too as thats his job he has to do.

But HE STRAIGHT AWAY STOOD IN FRONT OF ME AND said "SAIRAM" GAVE ME A saffron coloured 'RUMAL' (KERCHIEF) WITH BABAS PICTURE ON IT and said BABA SENT THIS and I had nothing else to say and do but tears starting flowing nonstop and goosebumps all over.

Om Sai Ram .

My experiences with Sai Baba.

Hello all, sairam!
I wanted to share a couple of my experiences even though i have experiences with Baba day in and out. My Life took a whole new direction in past two years, especially last six months. I remember praying to Baba Sai since 2002. As I said, it was in last 2-3 years that my life was in trouble due to the sadesati that just started.

I lost my job in Nov 2008 and ever since I see only troubles. I could get a job in a MNC in Aug, 2009 but due to Saturn I ended up in a mess in the first month of the job and was terminated. They were even thinking of pressing criminal charges on me for using company documents for personal use. I know I did a mistake, but Baba still helped me here. In one hour with Baba blessings, the company's attorney changed their mind and let me go free.

However, I had no job but I was happy it could have been far worse. I thanked Baba for saving me from deep trouble.

Time flew by, and it was in Feb 2010, I first came to know of Sai Satcharitra (all these years I have no idea of parãyanam) through my cousin. I read the book for 3 times and got a job in a new field of my choice and to tell you guys, I was offered the job without any interview.

It was sheer miracle as I walked in first day since I was out of job for a good year. In a month into the job, with Baba's blessings I got a better job in westcoast and was working happily for 6 months. I was hired as temporary but got permanent in 2 months in to the job.

Life went well for 5 months, after which my boss suddenly told me that she doesn’t like my work and I have only one month to improve. However, she was adamant even though I was working hard and improved a lot. One fine day, I was let go.

I asked Baba why this has happened. It was the same boss, who praised me for my work who changed her mind. I was on a student visa and was working fulltime during these jobs. I read Sai Satcharitra for two times and asked Baba that I should have a job in 15 days.

It was a miracle that I had a offer in only 10 days from the day I was let go.

And guys, the new job is at a place 5 miles from my old place where I initially moved from to west coast.

Then I moved to my old place and started working. But still, Saturn was in full effect and I have to quit the job after 3 months in Jan 2011 due to visa issues.

I have come close to being deported. Again, baba helped me and is taking care of the problem. This could not have happened if i was in west coast.

Baba has a bigger picture in mind and knows what is coming in future. I am back to work with Baba's miracle after 6 months . I have still couple of problems to be solved by Baba but Baba is asking me to be patient and HE will take care of them soon. I will come back and write experience in full once I get those issues solved.

I pray baba every day to attend my left over issues so that I can be a happy full time Sai Sevak all my life.

And forget to tell you, in last six months I become a fulltime devotee, volunteering in a temple, quitting all bad habits, being strictly vegetarian including not eating egg. This is a miracle in itself for changing me so much that even my parents and friends wonder how so much change occurred in me.

I even encourage my friends and preach my parents about the life’s purpose and ask them to change their habits.

Om Sairam

Saibaba Kripa On Us:

Sairam Manishaji ,

A very big thank you for such a wonderful platform where we can read abt our baba and all Sai experiences.

I believe in Baba right from school days .Baba's kripa is always on me . To day I want to share baba 's kripa on us . My daughter has an birth injury on her shoulder due to doctor's wrong decision .we have been to many doctors every one said we have to wait and see meanwhile go to therapy so, we were doing therapy and I was praying god to take care of little one and slowly she started recovering and started moving her hand and got some range of movements in her hand .

Though she could use her hand she had some limited range of motion in her injured arm and I was always worried about that.

All of a sudden we decided to move to USA I was in hope we could find some treatment for her. After moving to US we went to baba temple for our car pooja . Here I should tell u all that after my marriage we were in different countries so I couldn't go to baba temples .now I feel that Baba brought me here so I can be friends with Baba's devotees and I can always be under his sharan .

After that I met a lady who is an ardent devotee of Baba now she is a very good friend of mine .From her I learnt about 9 weeks Sai Vrat and I stated going to baba temple regularly and reading satchrithra .I was always praying baba to show us a way meanwhile we been going to diff doctors but all of them said she is ok put her in some activites where she can use her both hands .

Baba has showed us solution .I went to dance teacher to put my daughter in dance class .My daughter loves dancing and she is very good at it .I had to tell dance teacher about my daughter's hand and there baba gave us a solution when teacher heard about her problem she said her friends's daughter had similar problem and one of the doctor invented a new procedure of surgery to arm and she is alright now.So, we met her friend, got doctors details and my daughter had two surgeries from that doctor ,everything went well my daughter is doing good by Baba's grace and His blessings .

She is on therapy now ,still waiting for her to gain full range of motion I am sure Baba will make her hand normal and she will get full range of motion .I went to dance teacher after I finished my 9 week Sai vrat and baba showed us a way .I came across this website when my daughter had second surgery and I was in lot of tension i was so relieved and peaceful after going through some of devotees experiences .I made a promise that I will post my experience once my daughter is ok I am waiting with Saburi( patience) to see my daughters hand to be functionally normal. My daughter with out applying udi on her forehead she don't go to sleep she is also a Baba devotee now .

Celebrating 125 Years of Nirvikalpa Samadhi Of Shirdi Sai Baba On 10th December 2011.

noreply@blogger.com (Manisha.Rautela.Bisht) — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 11:56:00 +0000

Sairam Dear all,
Today morning I recieved a mail from Sai bhakt Leeladhar ji sharing important message which was not known to me.This message is of importance to all the Sai children .To emphasise the importance of this message I am providing the excerpt from Shri Sai Satcharitra below.

From Sai Satcharitra Chapter 44 and 45,where the author Shri Hemadpant had written-"Thirty two years before this, i.e., in 1886 A.D., Baba made an attempt to cross the border line. On a Margashirsha Pournima (Full moon) day, Baba suffered from a severe attack of asthma. To get rid of it Baba decided to take His prana high up and go into samadhi. He said to Bhagat Mhalasapti - "Protect My body for three days. If I return, it will be alright; if I do not, bury My body in that open land (pointing to it) and fix two flags there as a mark." Saying this, Baba fell down at about 10 P.M. His breathing stopped, as well as His pulse. It seemed as if His prana left the body. All the people including the villagers came there and wanted to hold an inquest and bury the body in the place pointed by Baba. But Mhalasapati prevented this. With Baba's body on his lap he sat full three days guarding it.

After three days passed, Baba showed signs of life at 3 A.M. His breathing commenced, the abdomen began to move. His eyes opened and stretching His limbs, Baba returned to consciousness (life) again.

From this and other accounts, let the readers consider whether Sai Baba was the three and a half cubits' body that He occupied for some years and that He left thereafter or He was the Self inside. The body, composed of the five elements is perishable and transient, but the Self within is the thing - Absolute Reality which is immortal and intransient.

The pure Being, Consciousness or Brahma, the Ruler and Controller of the senses and mind is the thing Sai. This pervades all things in the universe and there is no space without it. For fulfilling His mission He assumed the body and after it was fulfilled, He threw away the body (the finite aspect), and assumed His infinite aspect. Sai ever lives, as also the previous Incarnation of God Datta, Shri Narsimha Saraswati of Ganagapur. His Passing away is only an outward aspect, but really He pervades all animate and inanimate things and is their Inner Controller and Ruler. This can be, and is even now experienced by many who surrender themselves completely to Him and worship Him with whole-hearted devotion.

Now coming back to the message and the importance of this day I am reproducing the e-mail from Sai brother Bhaktal as shared with me by Leeladhar ji.

devadas bhatkal Dec 07 03:32PM +0530

Dear Sai Devotees, We are all aware that our Sainath went into'Samadhi'for 3 days in the year 1886.All the village folks and Moulvis thought He is dead and gone for ever.But the great devotee,Mahalaspathi kept watch on the body all through these 3 days. He knew his Master will come back to Life.If He had not, then we would have lost our Sainath then and the World not have heard of Sri Sai Baba. So it is a great event in the Holy Life of our Sadguru.This is explained in detail in 'Sai Satcharit'.All the Sai devotees should cherish this moment of our Baba coming back to this Earth again, to lead us all to 'Sadgathi'.This incident happened on Poornima Day in the Month of Margashira in the Year 1886 ie exactly 125 years back. Now we are in Margashira Masa and the Poornima falls on 10th of this month.Since this year happens to be the 125th year of this Holy Event, it has to be remembered and celebrated as an important festival by all devotees and mainly by the Shirdi Sansthan.Every one should rejoice this day which gave Baba back to us.I mentioned this through Mail to Shirdi Sansthan, but no Response from them!. I dont know whether it is in their agenda.Hope they will celebrate this event at Dwarakmai with due honours and gaiety. Om Sai Ram D.Bhatkal

Dear readers this day will fall on 10th of December 2011 and will mark 125 years since Baba has taken samadhi and resurrected again as mentioned in Shri Sai Satcharitra. Efforts has been made to communicate this information to Shirdi Sai Sansthan so that appropriate celebration can be held in Shirdi but to no avail .(Though Shirdi Sai Sansthan is celebrating Datta Jayanti and Lunar Eclipse on 10th Dec and has all the programme scheduled.Devotees can view the programme by clicking HERE .)

I would be celebrating this day by performng Sai Naam Jaap and reading of Shri Sai Satcharitra.I hope every Sai devotee will celebrate this occasion in his/her own way .Devotees are welcome to share their view or ideas on how they shall be celebrating this day by commenting below .Jai Sai Ram .

PS:For devotees who do not know the meaning of the word Nirvikalpa it is provided here .
It is a sanskrit word and the meaning is as follows."Nirvikalpa samādhi, means absorption without self-consciousness, is a mergence of the mental activity (cittavṛtti) in the Self, to such a degree, or in such a way, that the distinction (vikalpa) of knower, act of knowing, and object known becomes dissolved — as waves vanish in water, and as foam vanishes into the sea. The difference to the other samadhis is that there is no return from this samadhi into lower states of consciousness. Therefore this is the only true final Enlightenment.

Sairam dear all,
Happy Baba's day
Not only our life but our action,our thoughts and our feelings are known to Shri Sai Baba .We realise this more clearly when we witness it and this is what is shared by Sai devotees here . From reviving a devotees father from death bed to hearing and knowing the devotees thoughts all are mentioned below in the experiences shared by Sai bhakts.I would also like to thank the sai bhakt who has specially created the above attached wallpaper for shirdisaibabakripa website with beautiful message of Baba to be shared with all .Jai Sai Ram

Sai Baba brought back my father from death bed:

Sairam Manisha,
It was on 28th of August 2011 that suddenly clouds of darkness surrounded our house. My father who was hale and hearty, suddenly suffered a massive cardiac arrest and had to be rushed to the hospital. We all followed him in the ambulance.

All throughout the way I was praying to Baba. Some how we succeeded in taking him to the hospital at the right time. I was crying continuously as i saw the reactions of all other family members in the hospital.

One of my uncles said that my father was serious and the doctors had already declared him clinically dead and will wait for 15 more minutes to totally declare that he is no more, till that time they will try to revive his heart which had stopped beating.

After hearing all this i thought of nothing else but only thought to pray to my Sai baba for my fathers life. After 10 mins I was informed that doctors could find his pulse and they had taken him to ICU.

As the moments passed by we were getting more nervous but i had full faith in my Baba,I prayed Baba you will not leave us I know .

Next day an unknown lady suddenly came to me and gave me Babas udi and told me to keep it under his bed. I felt that it was Baba's messenger who had come to help me. By Babas grace my father came back to his senses after i had kept the udi under his pillow.

Although he was admitted in the hospital for 21 days, he has recovered from the attack. I know this is nothing else but purely blessing of Baba.All this is due to my Sai babas blessings. Sai baba is always there to help his devotees. I love you very much my deva, always be with me my Baba.
Sairam.

Sai stops rain for me:

Dear Sister Sai Manisha,

Om Sai Ram.. Om Sai Nathaya Namaha..

It is a really wonderful and blissful experience to read through the innumerable experiences from numerous Sai bakthas. Sister Manisha, thanks a lot for creating this platform to post our wonderful Sai experiences.

There are several miracles happening in our lives everyday, every now and then, big and small, at the behest (honestly, use of this word 'behest' in itself is a miracle... it just came to my mind, I didn't knew the meaning and when I saw the dictionary I found it perfectly fits the context) order of our beloved Sai Guru.

I would like to share one miracle that I experienced today.

Today I observed the second week of Sai vrat out of 9 weeks. I intended to go to the Baba temple around noon for Aarti after finishing pooja at home.

But Baba had a different plan for me.. I could not go to the temple because by the time I finished pooja it was well past noon and I knew that the temple would be closed after Aarti. Therefore I decided to go to the temple in the evening. When I started in the evening, it started raining cats and dogs and by the time I got into my car I was sort of drenched though I had an umbrella due to my physical disabilities.

Soon after getting into my car, I sincerely prayed to Baba (I have a Baba in front of the steering, he always look at me when I drive) that it should not rain when I reach the temple as I will not be able to manage to get into the temple if it rains heavily (SHRADDHA).

I think the temple is about 15 - 16 kms from my place and in between there is an underground tunnel for about 8 kms. When I got into the tunnel it was raining so heavily but when I got out from the tunnel there was no rain, however there were dark clouds about to burst anytime. I thanked Baba for holding the rain when I came out of the tunnel, but as I drove a bit farther it started raining very heavily and when I reached the temple gate it was at its best. I prayed again to Baba to consider my plea and facilitate my dharshan. I decided to wait for a while inside the car (SABURI).

As I was waiting I received a text from a friend who visited 'Shridi' stating that he had returned (okay, you could also call this a coincidence... but I felt he could have sent this text much earlier as he had returned much earlier than that and therefore thought that Baba is signaling that he is around). After about 10 minutes, the rain stopped completely and I was able to go inside the temple HASSLE FREE. I was inside the temple for nearly 90 minutes listening to 'Vishnu Sahasranamam' and witnessed 'Dhoop Aarti' thereafter.

I was hearing heavy down-pour outside during this time. I had two pleas this time - 1. I had done parking violation of my car outside the temple. I admitted to Baba that I know what I have done is wrong, particularly during peak hour and prayed to Baba to forgive me and save me from any hardships (police, penalty etc.). 2. Again there should be no rain when I go back to the car. Trust me, when I came out of the temple after the spectacular dharshan, the rain had stopped and I could walk normally and get into my car and also there were no tickets for parking violation (such a long time during peak hour). The moment I got into the car, it started raining so heavily again. This is just one of the many many clear indications that Baba takes care of even your simplest needs once you surrender to him with all sincerity. SHRADDHA and SABURI.. these are really magical words in the world of Sai.

The above incident is only a small project of Baba, he had undertaken a bigger one for me. Currently he had put me in the testing (patience) phase and he is also driving me to pass through this phase. Iam pretty confident that he will help me succeed very soon. I will soon be sharing the experiences of this great project once the project is delivered by Baba, the director of directors.

Baba, please bless all of us with peace, patience, joy, happiness, prosperity and top of everything a heart and home filled with SAI DEVOTION all the time.

Many thanks for posting this humble note.

Jai Sai Ram,
Shri Satchitaanand Sadguru Sainaath Maharaaj ki Jai..

Baba's is with us in our life and in our thoughts:

Dear Manisha didi,

I can't believe the leela's of Baba but I have to and we have to believe .(Please publish this when you are free.)

I experienced a miracle of Sai baba's blessing.I became speechless for this.

Actually as you know I was into total depression from the past 20 days as of the domestic troubles.

Even my parents are hurt to very extreme extent. They did a lot of help for my family for which they were blamed very badly.( I think Baba has some intention behind it.) And I was troubled for this very rudely.Because of these things happening in our life my parents and I are in deep sorrow these days.

Though the intensity of the situation came down but there is no solution. I even thought to end up my life with my kids.

Though still my mind is not calmed but the days are just passing. I cried and even scolded Baba where are you ?Baba Please help me.I cannot bear all this .

Baba always comes to rescue.Listening to our prayer I am sure he has reduced the intensity of suffering.

Yesterday morning I had a dream in which there were two slips about me thrown into a dust bin by my left side.It seemed to me as if I am on a stage. And when I turned to right side I found a huge baba's idol just like the one sitting on the stone.

And it felt like Baba was very angry on me and He said if you don't want the life I have given to you I too don't want you.

That was the intention of Baba on the slips. I felt sorry for that and started doing seva with my mother. I picked some jasmines and started to make it a garland sitting near him.

And all of a sudden it turned into a beautiful multilayered mala(Garland).I was surprised at it .I was thinking how do I know to make such a garland just like in Tirupathi for Lord Venkateshwara?

Then I put the garland on Baba. And after a while I found a strong wind blowing on the stage from back side of Baba and it threw away my garland. I felt sooooooo sad at what happened and thought why did Baba discard my garland. So is he still angry on me? I again continued my seva to him.

Then I woke up from my dream. Its a habit that I see Gods face in the morning as soon as i get up and yesterday morning too thinking of baba I got down from bed .The TV was already switched on by my parents. And to my surprise it was BABA's song going in it. I was shocked but still occupied by thinking of the dream why baba threw the garland?

And the day continued very busy because of a ceremony to be performed with baba's blessing. But my thoughts were still haunting around Baba. I felt like going to Baba mandir near by to our home .But I was still held with shopping and all other work .It was 8:45pm and I knew the temple will close at 9:00pm and it was also raining .

I prayed to baba please help me to reach to you.The kids were tired and as I was going instead to take a turn to my house I felt a rush to visit baba even if the temple is closed.

During all this I had conversation with my mother and I also shared to my mother why did baba do like that in the dream .He knows why I cry and scold him. And still he is that angry on me. Then my mother consoled me and said baba has His own ways. I said sorry to my mother( that you were insulted because of me) then she said ,Baba's love should flow on all of us and all these insults will not even effect us.

She said Baba will only take care. I reached there just about 10minutes to 9. I left everybody in the car and rushed inside to the temple. The aarthi was going on and there was a small crowd. I too got involved in the aarthi . Then the pujari ji called me among the group and asked to pick up a tray. He was indicating me by his hands and eyes gestures as the aarthi was going on.I picked up the tray he showed.

To my shock he threw baba's garland into the tray and also the garland of Lord Ganesha's and Lord Shiva's. I became speechless.I was very shocked at the timings of baba. I thought If I went that day any other time this wouldn't had happened. See the coincidence of my going to baba and the dream I had.Witnessing all this it clearly indicates Baba's plan behind this and clearing my fear of the dream and His love and presence in our life .I felt peaceful and also felt that Baba is always listening and taking care of us . He is every minute with us in our life and in our thoughts.

Baba always blesses his devotees. He will be beside us. Only thing is we need more bhakthi to reach Him.

I trust one day baba will bless my parents. All we need is patience though it is hard at the time we face the bad situations but we need to exercise patience.

Baba will take care as He said He will be active even from his tomb. Baba is present.Jai Sai Baba

Baba's Child.

Shirdi Sai Baba's Grace-Experience Of Sai Devotees-Part 22.

noreply@blogger.com (Manisha.Rautela.Bisht) — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 13:54:00 +0000

Dear All,

Happy Thursday ,

We all know that Baba is the ultimate power who takes care of His bhakta .We notice big events as His blessing but we should not forget that even the minutest happening is controlled by Him .We should have firm faith on Baba and realise that even in the oddest of time Baba is with us and He is taking care of us.When the things are not in our favour we should not loose hope but wait for His grace ,as sooner or later one realises that Baba is there with him always.The same has been experienced by many Sai devotees and I have shared many experiences below with the readers of this website as sent in mail below.(I have attached pictures of Baba just above the experience as attached by the devotees along with their experience and desired to post along with their experience .)

Small reminder :Its a request to all the devotee who wish to share their experience to mention in their mail when they submit their experience if they wish to have their name published or not .It makes it easy for me to than publish the experience with their names as desired .Jai Sai Ram .

My experience with Baba last week.

Anonymous Sai Devotee says-Sairam Manisha didi .Please post my recent experience with Baba. Please don’t reveal my name.Last week I experienced Baba’s grace and want to share with you and all devotees who visits your website.

OM SAIRAM,

1.My mother was supposed to Travel to US(to my sister place, as my sister is carrying), So I took her for general health checkup.But in Blood test ESR count was high.

And doctors suspected so many things and asked her to further undergo few more tests . I was very worried. But I know my baba will never leave me.

I started praying . then doctor told us to do ESR Check after 1 week. And By Baba’s graces. It came down and was normal.Thanks to Baba.

2.one day before my mother leaving to US, I went to Baba temple. There was Subramanya pooja was going on. Here in Sai spiritual center they will allow devotees to participate in pooja where devotes are given Gods photo and bowl of rice .

And they are supposed to do archana with rice on photos while priest is chanting 1000 names of subramanya. I wanted to participate to get subramanyas photo .Subramanya god is my kuladeva and thought its auspicious sign to give to Mother before she travels .so that her journey will be good.but I dint had time as pooja goes on for 1-2 hrs .But suddenly one of the commity member from temple called and started speaking to me.

I was very happy I asked him can I get photo. He gave my one photo and left.(inside in my heart I wanted 2 photos as I wanted to give one to Mother and keep one for myself) but could not ask him. then thanking him I came outside the temple and saw photo again and its 2 photos . I was on tears and Thanked baba for this wonderful blessings.

3.When my mother about to leave to US, She was feeling very uncomfortable and low. (reason was she was travelling alone for the first time and never she has travelled alone even in Bus here).even I was very much worried for her.Her health got bit upset. After some time she told she is fine. Somehow I was tensed. And when she reached flight, I called her.Again she told she is feeling shivering and very very uncomfortable again .I felt very helpless.

That time my sister called my mother and told her to give cell phone to any person sitting next to her in flight, and there was doctor who was sitting next to her(see BABA’S Grace) on my mother. my sister talked to him. He said he will talk to my mother, she will be fine soon.We were very much relieved. Doctor started speaking to her. she was fine.

But since it was more than day journey (as my mother was going in connecting flight) to US I was praying all the time and asking baba to take care of her and used to refer saibaba qu! estion and answer book. Answer I got is “do not think more. Have faith in guru. Everything will be alright then.(Book is so powerful we can communicate with baba.He gives answers though that).I usually refer when I get problems and it works.

And By Baba’s grace My mother reached place safely. All thanks to Saideva.
JAI SAIRAM

Sai gave me new life to smile again:

Sai devotee says-Dear Manisha,

I am grateful to you for your servies, this site gave me the strength when i needed it most. Dont have words to explain that how this site helped me in my bad time.

I am sharing my experience which is all due to Sai's grace, please feel free to correct my language.

I wanted to marry a guy but his parents refused for our marriage.The various reasons they gave to us were as follows:
1. my short height
2. my specs
3. my eye colour(green)

We tried a lot for convincing them, but they refused everytime. i went in depression, after seeing my situation my parents send them a message that they want to meet them but they simply refused and said "jis dagar jana nahi us dagar dekhna nahi"-rough english translation(Not to look into the direction where you do not intend to go"

They started seeing for the right match for the guy.(otherside, we(me and that guy were knocking every door or window but nobody was ready to help us, then i turned to God with a thinking "God helps those who helps themselves".As we had tried and was trying every possible way to convincing his parents,
I believed agar insan nahi maan rahe(If human are not listening ) god will listen otherwise is duniya me insano ki hukumat chalegi or wo apni hi marji chalayenge(otherwise the human will rule and their orders will be followed), and started believing that if god exist then he will come to help us otherwise there is no way of doing good things in this world. I started praying, begging from god to listen to our prayer ,i was praying"humahri shadi sabki marji se karwa do(please marry us with everyone's intention) and give us a happy family"

One night suddenly i heard a voice someone called my name i saw Sai baba was sitting there and HE told me ki jaisa main chahti hu waisa hi hoga(Baba said -what I desire the same shall happen). I woke up and was not able to believe that was just a dream I can still feel that vibes very strongly, after that I got my strenght but things were becoming worse day by day and we decided not to speak to anyone about us, and leave all the things on Sai ram let HIM do whatever HE feels is best .

Baba gave me so many signs that He is with me.

Suddenly i got udi and my eyes got corrected(will write you soon about this) by Sai mahima only.

One day i told sai baba vachan to my mom as she was very worried about my marriage after listening she decided to wait for little longer. Things were getting more worse. One Thursday morning, I got the news that the guys mother is no more i was thrilled by the news, (was worried what will happen to that guy now as i knew his parents are everything to him, simuntaneously i become selfish(sorry baba for this, but was helpless from my thinking at that moment but later I repented and felt sad), than i prayed to baba please give strength to family and also questioned Baba "How can this marriage take place with everyone's consent as His mother has expired??)

Miracle took place and within 10 days i got the news that his family wants to meet me as his mother was interested in me in her last days and was trying to convince people for our marriage(now we haven't spoken to anyone for us), this was only due to Sai miracle. With in 20 days our roka ceremony took place and within 3months we got married.

Our marriage took place due to Sai baba grace only, HE gave this new life to me, and showed us that God does listens to us, today his mom is not with us, we feel her emptiness in our life, but the sasural(in-laws place) i got is so loving to me that its really hard to believe they are the same people who used to get angry even just by hearing my name.Time heals everything and we are trying to live life with loss of His mother in her good memories.

Only sai ram can understand His leela.

Love you sai raam and thank you so much for coming in my life please be stay with me always. love you baba love you lot .

shri sachidanand sathguru sainath maharaj ki jai......

Sai saved me from severe bronchitis:

I have had many many Sai miracles in my life. Let me tell you about the most recent one I had, about a month ago I was down with flu, which also turned out to be a severe case of bronchitis. I never prayed to baba about my health. But baba is very merciful and really looks after his devotees welfare . It must have been 2 or 3 a.m. I got up from my sleep due to subtle aroma of Udi, now babas udi has no aroma and yet I could smell the sharp aroma of udi. When you're sleeping you're in a subconscious state of mind and I became fully conscious due to the aroma. Believe it or not the very next day I felt lot better and within a day I was fully cured from the severe bronchitis I had.Thank you Baba for treating me .

Jai Sai Ram

Sai Baba Gave me Job:

Om Sai Ram.

Sai devotee Akila says- I live in Germany. I was searching for jobs from July.During the month of August, one of my acquaintances offered me the sai vrat procedure. I dont pray to any particular god and dont believe in them too.

So never bothered about it and during the month of October, as I was not at all getting jobs, wanted to try the 9 thursdays Sai vrat.

I started the Sai vrat and what to say during the 6th week I got a job in Neufahrn, Germany.

Not only a job, life has become very light for me after pleading to Sai and he is saving me from my sufferings.Since then I've decided to surrender all my daily activities to him.I talk to him and HE responds to my situations.My desktop wallpaper is also Sai baba now.I feel very very safe though I am not living with my family now.

I believe Sai is there for me throughout my life and HE is saving everyone who seek HIM.

Thank you Sai for making me write this.I am planning to visit the Frankfurt Sai baba temple next week on 20th.I am sure Sai baba ll help me in reaching HIM.

Jai Sai .

Baba cured me in Shirdi:

Sai Devotee Siva says-Sai Ram Manisha Ji -I am a regular visitor of your site, I really appreciate for your great work. I cannot explain in words, how much we, poor devotees are getting happiness by reading experiences posted on your site. May BABA bless you and your family. Kindly post the following experience at your convenience.

Last summer, I got call from BABA to Shirdi. My parents and I visited Shirdi in the last week of May 2011. I experienced HIS leela many times during the trip; here I am going to explain a small one. Please excuse me if you find any mistakes in my narration.

During my journey to Shirdi, I was suffering from loose motions, probably because of hot weather. I was taking some medicine to control it. One afternoon in Shirdi, we decided to have lunch at Prasadalaya. While serving, my father was accepting sweet. I told my father not to have sweet as he is a diabetes patient. He told us not to worry as it was HIS prasadam.

I said OK and I took a large amount of chilly pickle, as I like spicy pickle a lot. My father looked at me and told me not to have pickle as I was suffering from loose motions. Immediately, I told not to worry as it was HIS prasadam. My mother and my aunt laughed for my witty answer. But, later I realized, I took really a risky amount of pickle.

I recalled few chapters from Satcharitra, where BABA’s treatment was quite unusual to some diseases. I looked at Baba and told to myself, “I will finish whatever pickle is there on my plate. Hopefully, HE will cure my problem, otherwise I will take medicine and there won’t be any danger as I am in Shirdi”. Believe me guys, I did not take any medicine after that, it cured automatically.

I won’t say my faith was 100%. But, these kind of incidents make us to believe HIM and surrender to HIM completely. Thank you very much BABA.

Thank you for reading this Leela and wish to see you with other experiences, whenever HE permits.

May BABA bless everyone with happiness.

Om Sainathaya Namaha

Ashish's Experience of reading Sai Satcharitra

I take the blessings of SAI before I could share my experience with all the devotees.

It is true that the devotees experience the leelas of Sai when they read SAI SATCHARITRA. Believe me or not, SAI will always be with the ones who read and listen to his stories.

I started reading SAI SATCHARITRA two years ago.I adored BABA so much that He is everything to me.I never ate anything without first offering to Him. Like all, I had a few problems in my life and promised BABA that I will read SATCHARITRA daily till HE fulfills my wish.

On SRI RAMA NAVAMI day, 2011, I woke up from my sleep hearing someone pushing me from the bed asking me to come to the temple soon.I woke up took bath, read my SAI SATCHARITRA and went to the temple soon.

But to the surprise of all when I went there I had seen a person wearing a long dress, and a cloth tied like a cap on his head, holding a satka in his hand like BABA used to and also a cloth like bag around his arm. I was actually surprised to see the sight, and was dumbstruck. I kept seeing HIM till I came out of the main temple and I was thinking about HIM when I was in the temple's masjid.

He was with me until I took the darshan and came along with me till I left the temple.The whole day I was thinking about Him but the very next day I went to the temple and asked the people if they had seen such a person.I was told that there was no such person who resembled BABA that day and they told me that as I read SATCHARITRA daily, BABA himself came to answer my prayers.

Isn't it strange?.How come the person appear only to me, be with me when I took the darshan, follow me, wait until I leave. I had tears in my eyes when I heard people saying that the person is BABA.I started loving HIM more , participated in the arti's daily. I asked BABA for a wish, actually its my dream to pursue higher studies and I know that HE WILL NOT LEAVE ME IN HALF WAY THROUGH.

I love you BABA, you are always my loving parent and my sadguru- bless everybody.

PEACE BE TO ALL

Bow to Shirdi Sai Baba -- Peace be to all.

Baba gave me peace of mind:

Sai devotee Sai Ki Beti Says-Our beloved lord sai has different ways of giving peace to mind and soul. I experienced one such way of baba today only which will show that baba is always there with his devotees and takes care of everything and can never see us crying.

Om sai ram manisha ji,
First of all thanks alot and may baba bless you for the work you are doing by maintaining this blog.please mention me as sai ki beti and don't disclose my id. I hav subscribed to other blogs also but today baba wanted to share my experience on this blog only as when I read the experience of other devotees thereunder I saw baba's photo and written share your experience here.i felt as if baba is asking me to do it.

Manisha ji I was very upset as baba is testing my saburi for quite some time but I have firm faith on my baba who is everything for me,my mother father,sister,brother,friend. Today I was very upset and criend in front of baba's photo and washed baba's holy feet with my tears and was crying and praying and saying that baba I know youhave blessed me and you will never take back your blessings than why are you testing my saburi.

I moved from the photo and I noticed that baba's face also moved and baba was watching me. Then again I came near baba's photo and started talking to baba. I closed my eyes and touched baba's feet in the photo and just prayed with tears in my eyes that please baba I want to see you please come to me and suddenly after few minutes baba's photo moved and it was about to fall but I held it with my hands and then I saw baba smiling in the photo.

Someone can think that as I was touching the photo that is why photo moved but I know baba came to me to bless me! and I promised baba that I will share this experience today only.

And I know baba will not test my saburi.i love our sai baba alot and I cant even think of my life without baba. It takes time for our wish to be granted but baba always grants our wishes on right time and I am also waiting for the right time to come.
Om sai shri sai jai jai sai.

Sai Baba Kripa on Me:

Sai devotee Swati says-Dear Manisha di, Om Sai Ram. I have going through this website for few days only and i thought of sharing something which i think is Sai baba's wish.Please feel free to edit if you find anything not correct.

Om Sai Ram,

I dont know from where to start and and how to write as i am not a very good writer.Taking Sai's blessing i am here sharing my experience with all the Sai devotees.

I wanted to marry a friend of mine but his father was not agreeing for our marriage.Both of us have tried everything.We even made many vows to other deities also,but all were futile.In my mind i even thought sharing my experience if our marriage is fixed.(I would like to mention here till few months back i used to believe in SAI,but not the way am trusting him like anything.)

Its been more than 3 years that he tried to convince his father like anything but nothing has happened.

Then suddenly in the begining of this year,his father agreed and said to meet my parents.I cant express the my joy in words here.But i dont know what is happening in my life.After 2 months his father said NO.

I was like shock and feel like I end my life as i cant even think of marrying anyone else.

Now that am ardent devotee of Sai baba some how i think i missed of posting my experience and thats why this is happening to me.So i am here today writing this experience with SAI's inspiration with the hope that SAI will definitely give me love.

Now there is almost not a single moment where i have not felt the presence of my Baba.Thank you baba for drawing me close to you.Please be with me always.

I will definitely post here another experience as soon as SAI will fix my marriage with my love which i know HE will definitely give me as i can feel his presence in my daily routine all the time be it work place my home or while am on the way.He is always watching his children everywhere.

I am going through lots of mental tension.Please baba be with me always.

love you Sai Baba.

Method Of Doing One Lakh Sai Naam Jaap -By Devotee Radha .

noreply@blogger.com (Manisha.Rautela.Bisht) — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 12:41:00 +0000

Sairam dear all,
Happy Baba's day .
Last week I had published Sai experience shared by sister Radha from Japan under the title"Power of Sai Naam Jaap and Vow to Sai Baba" . She had narrated in her experience how she performed Sai Naam Jaap in her tough time and received Baba's blessing after she completed her Naam Smaran of one lakh times .

After reading her experience many devotees inquired through mail for the method of Sai Naam Jaap sister Radha followed and desired to know the exact method of performing one lakh Sai Naam Jaap .

I communicated the same to sister Radha and promptly she replied back giving all the details .I am attaching her mail and devotees are requested to go through it .Devotees who have queries or any doubt can write below this post their questions and sister Radha shall reply the same here .
Jai Sai Ram .

Sairam Manisha Ji,

It must be Baba's wish that many are curious to know of the naam jaap. I think Baba's name is the sole object of our lives.

Well, it is very simple. Only it requires a bit of commitment and discipline. I feel that if I can do it, anyone can do it, because I am not all that great in both commitment and discipline. Of course, above all, we all know that it is Baba's grace that makes us do this.
I will outline the things I do to do the naam jaap. Sorry my mail might be long.

1. You can choose a simple name of Baba. I choose 'SAI'.

2. I pray my wish to Baba and tell Him to guide me through the entire process by giving me concentration and faith.

3. I pray to Lord Ganesha to protect me from any disturbances or hurdles.

4. I start it on any day, it need not be a Thursday or anything. I also have a completion date in mind. It depends on the problem I have at hand. If it is a very serious problem which requires quick solution I keep the deadline to finish short. For instance, I have once told 1 lakh in 24 hours. But, I think to pressurize ourselves into such small time frame can compromise on the depth of repetition. It might seem like some racing game which is not so good. 1 week seems like a comfortable time for me for 1 lakh chant, but you can choose the time frame. Also if the frame is too long, we might take it lightly and relax too much (at least that is my tendency!!).

5. I start repeating 'sai sai sai' 'sai sai sai' 'sai sai sai.' I treat this as one line of naam jap. If you notice there are 9 sais in this line. So I say, 'sai sai sai; sai sai sai, sai sai sai' then say 1. Then again I say sai sai sai; sai sai sai; sai sai sai, 2. Sai sai sai; sai sai sai; sai sai sai 3; so on and so forth. So if you have said sai sai sai: sai sai sai; sai sai sai 100, we have said 900 times sai's name. Mark this 900 in a piece of paper or something, I keep a post it paper on the refrigerator and keep marking if I have made a 900 repetitions.

6. I cant finish this if I have to sit in one place and do the naam jap, as I also have a family to take care I have to keep saying this even when i do house work. However, when I have time I do sit down and say this. It is ok to say this while we are going about out daily work. Afterall, our duties are as important as our prayers.

7. It might seem very tedious, but trust me, Baba makes it very easy. If you try this you will find it takes only 15- 20 seconds to say this one line 'sai sai sai; sai sai sai; sai sai sai' 10 times. That is how easy it is.

8. On the other hand, there is another method if we are sitting down and saying this.

If we notice there are 3 lines across our fingers in our hand. That means there are 15 lines in each hand. I repeat sometimes this one line of sai sai sai; sai sai sai; sai sai sai' touching one line, so I would have said 30 one lines in both hands. Each line has 9 sais so 30 x 9 we have said 270 times. This method requires a bit more attention and I think it is difficult to do it unless we are sitting and concentrating and doing this.

9. I add up the numbers i have recorded and when I know that I am nearing the completion, I usually offer a small prasad to Baba, fruit, candies, anything and pray for forgiveness for any mistakes on my part and say a 100 extra one lines of sai sai sai touching Baba's feet in the idol or picture and complete the 1 lakh naam jaap.

10. I mentioned as 1 lakh. You can choose the number of repetitions. It can be 10008 or 1008 or more. Unacheivable numbers can tire us down so it is better to be realistic.That is all it is.

Honestly Manisha ji, I think there are devotees who can repeat the names each time with full concentration. But there are times when mind wanders off to other things (happens very often with me!!) but still Baba has blessed me everytime I have done this naam jap. After all, Doesnt Hemadpant say, 'The chanting of your name is the easiest of all Sadhanas for the devotees. By this, our sins, Rajas, Thamas qualities will vanish.'

I hope I have explained how to do the jaap properly. It is Baba's grace I was inspired to do this in the first place. May He shower His blessings on all.

Double Grace Of Shri Sai Baba-Experience by a Sai Devotee.

noreply@blogger.com (Manisha.Rautela.Bisht) — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 03:08:00 +0000

Sairam to all,
Happy Baba's day
Today's experience touched my heart to the core not only because it is our Baba's experience but this particular experience reflects immense love of a daughter for her mother/parents .The message is simple and clear through the experience "Love and serve your parents" but how many will love and serve their parents in a way which is narrated through the following experience.

I loved the following lines and wish to share :Jai Sai Ram .

When Was The Last Time?

When was the last time you told your parents how grateful you are just for being their children?

When was the last time you told your parents how sorry you are for the troubles you have caused in the past?

When was the last time you looked at your parents and said in your heart, "Thank God for these people"?

When was the last time you hugged your parents and said, "Thank you for the love and care you've given me, I love you so much"?

When was the last time you bought a present for your parents outside their birthday?

When was the last time you prayed for your parents?

When was the last time you made your parents proud of your achievements?

When was the last time you cancelled your date just because you want to be alone with your parents?

When was the last time you thought to bring your parents with you when you saw an ad about some nice place?

When was the last time you said to your parents, "Ok guys, relax now, today is my turn to clean the house"?

When was the last time you were on your way home with nothing else on your mind but the thought of seeing your parents?

When was the last time you've proudly told your friends about how great your parents are?

When was the last time you thought about all these things?

Remember, your parents did all this for you, long before you could say a word. They did it, not because they had to, but because they loved you and they will keep doing it again and again, always and forever.

For them, loving you is like breathing, how can they stop?

Om Sai Shri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai

Dear Sairam Manisha

On a lighter note, you reflect baba’s method. He will do a long pause but will show his presence and suddenly he will get into action giving turning points in our lives. God has given us duties with regard to family and family commitments are also a seva to do our nithya karma and without it purification is not possible. That way you are doing seva minimally by posting a random message from Sai Satcharitha in yahoo group due to tight priorities. And suddenly you come up with many experiences of devotees, sharing of books on saints, devotional albums etc. to the level of exhaustion. Baba bless your family and fulfil all your desires.

With Baba’s will, I wish to share some delightful experience and please post accordingly to your convenience. Baba made us realize, Charity to strangers and needy should be in second place.

Firstly it should be our repentance and praying for the welfare of our own family members, elders. Baba welcomes us closer, when we inherit these qualities. Sri Sai confirmed the saying ‘Charity begins at home’. As soon as this was implemented, Sai took us closer to shower his grace. Please post the two images attached herewith.

For the past one month my mother was suffering from severe stomach pain and nausea. All the tests, scan were showing normal and ruled out stones. She could not even touch a bit of sweet during diwali eve. She was hopeless as the pain was unbearable despite she was given some antibiotics to reduce any infection. At one stage, I could not withstand to see her suffer this kind of pain with results normal. I prayed to baba to remove her suffering at once.

I was crying inside and thought that we siblings could not return our gratitude in a big way to our parents for bearing with us all the ups and downs of our life these years. I spoke to baba quoting some of the lives’ good going in general but not so in ours. I regretted for our ignorance and my inability to keep them contented forgetting their worries.

I felt helpless to find ways and cure her stomach pain. On different days I went to the nearby Shirdi Sai temple to pray for her recovery. I have seen on many occasions, some devotees do their whole pradhakshina (rounds) with their knees, by kneeling down as a prayer or fulfiling their vow. I thought of that and prayed to baba, please help me also, do such pradakshina for the well-being of my mother.

Unbelievably, baba made me too, do such difficult pradakshina. As the distance was bit big, I could do only one round pradakshina. But I could managed to do these on different days omitting Thursdays. One such day when some devotees praying near the main Sai Statue (moorthi), I was not able to do such pradhakshina. I felt the place in dhuni/dwarkamai was calm and without disturbance, I felt better and did that knees-pradakshina circling dhuni surprisingly. To my happiness and satisfaction, baba made me do more such knee-pradakshina for dhuni on different days despite the floor being rough. I felt the pain and discomfort while doing but it all disappeared soon.

Next baba made my mother apply udhi on her stomach by giving a hint from another devotee’s similar ailment and experience in website, advising to maintain patience as the pain will disappear in due course without severe damage.

To give confidence to her, I made her sit and read that experience on her own. I took neem leaves near Gurusthan and made my mother drink that bitter but medicinal water by heating leaves in it. Then I arranged and gave curd rice to dogs for few days as this is one of remedies given in the holy Sat Charitha. Baba accepted all these prayers and efforts and gave her relief and removed the stomach pain.

We all thanked baba. On Wednesday, when I was purchasing provisions, I asked baba at heart, what sweets he would like to have so that I can offer him the same. There is haldiram’s sweet boxes, groundnut burfis etc. But without any special thought, I picked and bought the packs of sugar, rava, cashews, cardamom powder, kesar powder, ghee and gave these packs to the priest of the baba temple for they could make and offer Rava Kesari Prasad to devotees on some other day or even for the next day is thursday.

I finished my prayers and was sitting in a corner admiring baba’s statue. One of the trustees who was writing something, unexpectedly called me and said bring your parents for Sri Satyanarayan Pooja on the very next day Thursday and that day is Poornima day too (pournami) and he said baba is inviting them to bless. I was speechless. I did not respond to his call. But he insisted on to speak to my parents there itself and tell the wish of baba. I became emotional and almost cried at baba’s specific intention of taking items for rava kesari prasad for Satyanarayan Pooja. It was a double treat to me. Double blessings.

Baba is great in giving surprises, when our thinking capacity is at a limited level. When I talked to baba of what sweet he want, Sai was sure to pick those items through me for the special pooja on the Poornima-Thursday. I got excited and brought my parents the next day and we all attended the whole pooja, got Lord’s blessings, baba’s blessings, rava kesari prasad, holy water, milk prasad etc. Thus baba invited us for satyanarayan pooja and confirmed his grace and care for our family.

Sri Sai Satyanarayan Swami Ki Jai !

Power Of Sai Naam Jaap and vow to Sai Baba -Experience By Radha.

noreply@blogger.com (Manisha.Rautela.Bisht) — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 03:08:00 +0000

Dear all,
Happy Baba's day .
Serving Baba is not limited to praying or following particular religious rituals. It can also be done by simply chanting HIS name with love and faith . Baba himself suggested this method in Shri Sai Satcharitra "If a man utters only My name with love, I shall fulfill all his wishes, and increase his devotion". The simple remembrance of My name as ‘Sai, Sai’ will do away with sins of speech and hearing."
Shared here are two such experience by sister Radha from Japan where Sai Naam Jaap and promise to Baba solved devotees problem and reflected her Baba's compassionate and loving self.Jai Sai Ram .

The Power of Naam Japam.

Dear Manisha Ji,

I have shared a couple of experiences earlier in your blog. Everyday I look forward to reading devotees experiences which makes me get closer to Baba. This week I am supposed to go for an eye check up as I have some eye pressure and I am very worried. So before going to the doctor Baba reminded me the power of Naam jap and so he made me take up chanting 1 lakh 'sai namas' before the check up. During the course I browsed your site and read the experiences which came from naam jap. I would like to share a couple of earlier instances where I was saved with 1 lakh sai naam japa chant.

The first time I learnt the power of chanting Baba's sweet name was when we were going through a great deal of problems.
We had just moved into a new house in Japan and within a matter of week my husband got transfered to China. I was very upset as this will mean so much of financial loss, not to mention the chaos of shifting and learning a new language and moving to china. I prayed to Baba to help me chant 1 lakh 'sai naam'.

I started chanting and on that day we had to leave to Shanghai to see the house and fix our sons school. We were in the flight and I told Baba, 'Baba, are you really hearing this chant? I am chanting this so fast as 1 lakh seemed like a big number to me and if you are really listening to it please show me your picture'. I told my wish to my husband who laughed and said that I am crazy for expecting to see a Baba picture in Japan airport or in Shanghai. He said I should be more realistic in asking. However, I kept my chant and we reached shanghai. We went to the hotel, changed and had to go for dinner.

My son who is a big pizza fan wanted to go to Indian restaurant that day and it surprised both of us as there was a big pizza hut right in front of our hotel. So we went to the indian restaurant my husband has been going for months as he has already started working in shanghai. Just as we entered, the hotel manager asked us to take a table upstairs despite having many tables fr! ee downstairs. We walk up the stair and right on the wall there was a HUGE Baba's picture. I was shocked and surprised and couldnt speak. I looked at my husband. He was even more surprised because he has been to this restaurant several times and has also eaten in a table upstairs but it was the first time that picture was there.
How can we explain such beautiful leelas of Baba. Not to mention that we did not move to China as my husband gott another job in Japan itself.

The second time I was blessed with 1 lakh naam japa was when my son was diagnoised with pediatric cataract. I was very upset and did not know what to do other than take up 1 lakh chant. The doctor in Japan said that the cataract is mild and there is nothing to worry, but I was scared. Later on we came to India and did another check up after chanting and applying udi on the top of his eyes every day. There is no surprise there... Baba had healed our sons eyes and there was no cataract.

I am sorry that this is a very long post, but there is no end to Baba's blessing and no words to express the power of Naam Japam. I pray now to Him again with the 1 lakh chant to help with my eyes.
Om sairam. May He bless us all and open our eyes to His love and mercy.
Jai Sai Ram .

Baba made me keep my word:

Dear Manisha Ji,

I have shared an experience earlier in your blog and cant tell how indebted I am for having this blog. We can now read the neverending stories of Babas leelas and attain the goal of life like Hemadpand says. I am sharing a small experience of mine here. It is ok to have my name published.

Baba makes us promise something and then sees to it that we do it definitely. Early this week our son went on a field trip to Hakuba, in Japan. It was a one week trip and since it was the first time he is going to be away from home for a week I was quite nervous. As he was the only vegetarian kid in the group I was even more worried about his food. His school had assured that they will provide him veg food but I was not sure.

However, he was getting proper food everyday and used to call and tell me that. But on Wednesday they went on a day long hiking and all children came back so hungry and tired. My son who does not call me very often called and said, 'Mom, it is a barbeque dinner and I am not sure everything looks like nonveg. And I am very hungry' I asked him to check his food menu with his tutor coordinator but he was shy to do it.

I prayed to Baba and promised that Baba should bless me to offer one dish I cook everyday to Baba the rest of my life. Please see to it that my son eats well and is healthy not just today but all his life. So, I offered a curry the same day. But one day I forgot to offer him the dish I made. I had prepared it and kept it on the table for dinner.

My husband who always takes the veggies first did not take it that day. I was about to take it and serve onto my plate but something stopped me. Suddenly I remembered my mistake and offered it to Baba. He makes us keep our pro mises and sees to it that we attain out goals of life. May He be with all.

Jai Sai Ram .

Sai Helps Everyone And Every Time With Different Miracles-Sai Devotees Experience.

noreply@blogger.com (Manisha.Rautela.Bisht) — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 13:50:00 +0000

Dear all,

Happy Baba's day
Sharing devotees experiences not only guides me but also guides so many souls.This is purely the love and blessing of Baba on His children that every minute they are experiencing His grace. And through each such child we are able to read,feel and learn from these experiences .Each time we read an experience our love for Baba grows many folds.It is love and simple pure love alone which takes us close to our Sai.

The more love one has in their heart for Sai Baba, the closer they are to Him and experience His presence always.In the experience shared today the devotee has opened His heart full of love for Baba and has shared many such experiences which he witnessed in his life. Jai Sai Ram .

Dear Manishaji
Please publish this as I promised Baba to write my story on your web site. I have attached the Melbourne Sai maa photo.

Melbourne :Shirdi Sai Baba

Though this story is very big try to shrink it if you can . Many thanks to your service through this web site . Your site is very very useful. As if we see Shirdi everyday. Your selfless service is helping thousands across the world everyday. The service you render is priceless… om sai shree sai jaya jaya sai

Even Adisheshang(snake god with thousand heads ) couldn’t describe and praise the lord Sai, how can I just explain about Sai leelas.But my SaiMaa is making me to write these miracles which I witness everyday .I migrated from India and I am living with my family in Melbourne , Australia. Though I was introduced to BABA in 1984 when I was in Calcutta and in Mumbai being evil human I didn’t understand the omnipresence of Sai .

I was indulged in lots of evil things, belonging to Brahmin community I was doing sins which no one can’t describe. I was acting like an animal …in human form ......

I was married in 1997, soon after I was given a chance by our Sai Maa .A devotee again introduced me to Sai through my sister-in law .May be that was the beginning of my spiritual path (in 1998) from that time onwards Sai’s blessings is showering on us.
My wife is nurse ,she got a job in Singapore at that time she had decided to go with my 3 year old son due to our economic situation. I started living alone in chennai.But I was strong to face the music.

Hereon our beloved Sai Maa started playing miracle with me .

I started doing regular pujas and visiting Sai temple in Mylapore. For me everything became Sai Sai Sai ...those times Mylapore temple had few visitors in the early hours of day.. I used to go for “ Mahaabishegam “ almost everyday. I have been trying to get a job in Singapore but all my efforts went in vain… (but our Sai Maa had different plans).

Let us get back to sai leelas, during the evening times the Mylapore temple was getting filled with thousands of devotees especially on Thursdays few lucky ones got dharshan from the back door.We used to stand in very long que and the darshan could last few minutes only . I was bit upset on this and prayed Baba about this. One Thursday, a friend of mine told me about the “Gowriwakkam temple Tambaram ( Sai is doing lots of miracles in this temple.. even you have pulished about this temple in your web site ).Where I can see and touch Sai maa freely, then I decided to visit the Gowriwakkam temple one evening .When I stepped in I felt something very unusual to me, I felt like I visited my parents place,some very strange FEELING never happened in my life.(I didn’t know that time ,Saibaba is going to take me in his spiritual path)once I had the dharshan . The founder of the temple Sri Kulesekaraprrumal( we used to call him Appa) asked me to come next day for the ahishekam .

Those days I had to travel by bus in early hours of the day due to safety reasons . I took the bus from Adampaakam to Gowirvakkam .I had to be there by 6.00 AM. The abishekaam starts 6.15am eveyday ,as soon as I was there Appa told me to perform the abishegam ,which I neve did.It was the most happiest time of my life ,I felt tears in my eyes. I couldn’t controll my emotions . Then as a ritual soap and shampoo was applied on baba's idol with sponge, Appa asked to apply the soap on Baba .. as I was applying I felt like I was with SAI MAA, not idol. Very very few people around that time ( these days I hear hundreds of devotees love to do these things but few can only do because of many restrictions by the committees ) from that moment my life is full of Sai Sai Sai every where .

Without visiting this temple my everyday life was meaning less.I was very attached to Sai, after I started visiting this temple SAI MAA changed my life gradually. My wife started applying for job interview in Melbourne , Australia as I couldn’t get any job in Singapore.

You could see SAI MAA already decided where I have to go further in my life , this was in early 2001. Meanwhile my brother and sister told me about few problems in my horoscope.My life could be in danger I need to take extra care on road and not to travel by train or but but I left everything to SAI MAA.

I had to travel by train to a place called Chidambaram in Tamil Nadu ,in spite of these warnings during the travel a very old SAINT boarded the train at Tambaram and asked me about where I am going . I said about the place I am visiting.While we were talking I had noticed that a big Sai pendant was hanging on his neck.I was thrilled and thanked Sai being with me. It was a night journey, before I went to sleep, I requested the saint to wake me up at the place where I had to get down if possible. He did just smiled at me !!! I went to sleep.When I got up around 3.00 a.m. , I looked around the saint was gone.. when I enquired about the saint with fellow passengers, they said they didn’t see any saint boarding this train !!This made me bit puzzled and I was questioning myself about the Saint. I reached my destination safely .I know in my heart that the saint was our Sai. The horoscope prediction went wrong .Sai once said in Shri Satcharitra throw the horoscope away and believe in HIM (Sai ).Which was true in my life.SEE SAIMAA ‘S RESCUE MISSION.

Days rolled on, I had given up my job-hunting to Singapore and decided to stay in India. I was hoping BABA will show me a path and left everything to him. One fine morning I got a call from my wife saying that she got a job interview for a hospital in Melbourne , Australia. (Here on BABA's LEELAS STARTED AND BECOME ENDLESS).

My wife s interview went on well and she had been selected for the job .She applied for the family visa for all of us then she returned to India to leave my son (31/2 years old) with me . Her flight was in July 2003 and we were ( me and my son ) were to leave as on when we get the family visa ( according to Embassy the visa takes approximately 7-10 months). On the process of family visa preparation we needed to go to Bombay for medical check up . We had decided to go to Bombay then Shirdi .

The day we reached Bombay, very heavy storm lashed the city and all the public transports got paralysed.

We couldn’t move from Mulund. (where we stayed). Somehow we managed to reach Byculla Rly station. From there on no further transport whatsoever.With three years old son we were stranded on the middle of the road praying baba for help. The medical check-up completion certificate needed to be sent to Australian consulate on the same day. Time was ticking up. Suddenly a taxi driver approached us on seeing our condition..??? He decided to take us to Mumbai Victoria terminus where we can courier the certificate through India post, that was the only way.The driver took us to VT station in 25 minutes with all hurdles,everywhere water flooded ,we thanked him. He took as per meter reading not a single rupee more.???. We knew Sai send him or Sai would have come , who knows. Once we had done our procedure we had decided to go to Shridi on the same night .We booked our tickets and on the way to hotel the rain poured heavily. The heaven opened up again and flash flooding everywhere ,with all this we saw there was a small Sai temple on the side road of the , where in devotees were performing evening aarthi.

One thing I noticed with so much rain and drenched up people lined up for the full session of the evening arthi. I really saluted the devotion of those people.We went to Shridi. This was my first time trip to Shridi ,we had heartful darshan of Sai Maa.While we were about to leave Samadhi mandhir, the pandit standing near Baba’s samadhi asked my spadika malai ( Sphatik Mala or Quartz crystal) , then he touched the mala on the samadhi as if Baba blessed me with this) and returned it to me. I was really in tears with this incident and was touched by Saimaas love ,He who knows everything and who care everybody.

The miracles one after another … soon we returned to chennai (in 9 days time ) we got our family visa for Melbourne, we couldn’t believe that because embassy people told us it would take 7 months and see Baba made it by 9 days that’s baba blessing . We left Chennai, India in 20 days time .

While we were on the plane to Singapore I was praying for Sai dharshan..Even my wife looked at me strangely.I said if Baba wishes he will come.What a surprise when I opened the “safety booklet “ the first page was our beloved “SAI MAA” picture with some catering advertisement. My wife was in pleasant shock and we thanked Baba for being with us in our new journey to new land. While we took the flight to Melbourne next morning I was looking for baba’s photo or portrait everywhere because so many Indians were travelling on the flight no sign of Sai ,when the plane took off the person in front of my seat folded his hand to have head rest ,he had a big SAI MAA RING. I was speechless.,see our Sai maa fulfil every wish of a devotee if prayed with full heart.Many thanks to our Sai ram .

After spent 7 months in Melbourne I felt lonely (though I am with family).Because we didn’t have sai temple in Melbourne during that time period. I was really sad and prayed Sai maa .See the wonder he did ,one day our priest invited us .As he was to perform Maha Kumbabhisegam / Samprokshanam: I asked which temple he said Sai temple. I ran to my place and tears rolling on my face I thanked my Sai .We went to Sai temple. How lucky we are I thought,we worshiped our Sai maa and once again I felt HE came all the way,Our Baba is boundless - no border or no limit.

Days rolled on with Sai blessing I had nice job for 5 years . Due to global financial problem I had to leave the firm.Within 2 days time I got similar job with Sai’s mercy.I stayed there for 20 months for no reason(Due to back stabbing and politics). I was sacked June. I felt big blow on me.

I was crying in front of baba I didn’t tell my wife about this. I was applying for job all around ,while searching I came across your web site about sai leelas . I felt like baba was telling me to search more on your web site .The Sai virat keep popping every time so I decided to download the same from your site. unfortunately full Tamil version was not available( few pages were missing ) see Sai maaa’s love and care again.Next day while searching for the same one of the Dubai Indian association blog site had the full version.I decided to do the vrat straight away during the 9 Thrusday’s I was follwing shradha and saburi .I left everything to HIM ,2nd Thusday I had part time job ( the person gone on holidays for 6 weeks) .

I said to myself Sai will take care of everything. I continued the same. And finished the vrat successfully and distributed the books as per instructions on the 9 th Thursday.My boss,where I was working as part time QA officer ,called me for discussions.

I thought he would tell me that the part-time position is over and I don’t have to come from tomorrow.( that’s what I was thinking)Sai had different idea again the boss said he would like to hire me permanently as production manager ,he negotiated my salary higher than what I was getting in the previous firm. I was really speechless. I agreed for the same and signed the paper on the same day it was Thursday.

I have to add bit more, my son is 13 year old is smart kid but not focusing on studies and concentrating only on gaming consoles. Though we have free education in public schools in Melbourne, the education standard is not of expected level. However few schools around Melbourne has the highest world class standard. To enter these schools either we have to live nearby (neighbourhood boundary) or write the entrance exam for selective schools. The option one was not possible for us as these schools are located in very expensive areas. Option II was to give entrance exam.

In these selective schools “MEBOURNE HIGH” is the most performing govt school and very hard to get though the entrance. The selection is purely on merit of the student. ( 95 % of the students secure 99.9% in their final exams similar to our HSC ) .Even private school students also in rush for this school.

Though we had decided our son to prepare for the entrance exam , we were not quite sure that he will get through this.He wasn’t performing well initially. The preparations were below normal standard. We said to ourselves, only miracle can get him for the school where we intended to put him . During my Sai Vrat on Thursdays I was also praying for my son .One evening during evening arthi , my son started praying and was sitting there whole time for the arthi. ( he has never done it before )From there on he started praying baba everyday .

I could see a change in his attitude and regularly he was preparing for the exam. On the day of exam we were little worried as they were 5300 students to write the exam. ( only 350 students would be selected based on the performance) I SAID TO MY SON PRAY SAIRAM ALL THE TIMES . The exam results were published after 8 weeks.Beating all odds my son scored very high distinction in three subjects and was selected for the school. We all thanked Sai baba for this miracle in his life . Like this there are number of miracles Baba is doing for us and everyone.

We can say our SAI MAA is always with us ,with everybody .

Jai Sai Ram

Shirdi Sai -The Saviour-Experience By Sai Devotee.

noreply@blogger.com (Manisha.Rautela.Bisht) — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 04:36:00 +0000

Dear all,

Happy Baba's day

Apologies for not being regular as I am tied up with some other work which leaves me with little time.But with Baba's grace soon I shall be more regular in coming days. I would like to say 'Thanks 'to all the devotees and readers who kept mailing,inquiring and showed concern about my welfare as well as wanted to know reason for not posting much in the website. Thanks for all your love and care.

Today I am uploading another Sai leela witnessed by sai devotee who wish to remain annonymous. Baba's leela are felt by those who open their heart to His love,see with eye of devotion and surrender their action as will of the divine.These are reflected below in the two experiences shared with us by the Sai devotee.

Jai Sai Ram .

Shirdi Sai-The Saviour.

Glory to God Saibaba !

Dear Sai devotee Manisha,

With his Will, in sharing another leela of this merciful God Saibaba, I believe it will increase faith and patience amongst many devotees who long for His grace, guidance and rescue, for we all bound by past karmic effects. Despite our different sufferings, we need to keep steady faith, devotion, love and affection for our Sai.

Do not blame him and gods for our troubles. Instead realize on our past karmic mis-deeds and correct it wherever possible without any second thought. We cannot repay our debts suitably even in our so many janmas to Saibaba for his guidance and affection. The best way to repay our Guru Dakshina to Saibaba is to cultivate good virtues, practice his teachings carefully in our lives, doing charity and spread his glory.

The ways he is choosing for every devotee is unthinkable and unarguable, but is sure to reduce severity and obstacles. What is most needed on our part is constant remembrance which is in a way of meditating on Him while doing our daily routine.

Daily you wish him, talk to him, include Him in all your dealings, He is a family member of his every devotee, put your grievances and pray for the welfare of your family, He is very much listening to your talks and will respond accordingly at the time when He thinks appropriate. Sister Manisha, please post the image i have attached herewith.

Over to His leela, I was suffering from irregular menstrual cycle for quite a number of months. Due to this, i could not concentrate on my activities. I prayed to baba to help in this. My gynaecologist diagnosed with ovarian cysts by Scan. This was the reason in harmone imbalance that is causing irregularities. She advised some medication for 2 cycles to regulate this problem. I could not withstand the side effect of the tablet, first dose itself, she prescribed. I discontinued the medicines which resulted in further irregularities.

I went to another gynaecologist for a second opinion. I told her about discontinuing the medication. She ruled out Cancer with a blood test (thanks to baba). That doctor observed the Scan & suggested if the ovarian cysts gives unbearable pain, they need to be removed surgically. If there is no pain, then the above similar medication of 2 cycles is the only solution to regulate the problem. Thankfully i have not much pain. But i have to be on those medicines which is with side effects.

I came back very dejected. Not knowing how to get out of this. At this time, i prayed to Shri Sai and searching for an answer, opened the Holy Sat Charitha book. I was surprised to see the para appeared in that page was "How the Cholera Ordinances, broken by Saibaba despite the rule by Panch is in force in Shirdi Village". I felt, baba encouraged me telling dont worry about the discontinuance of tablets & everything will be alright by His help.

My Senior in my office is also an ardent sai devotee. In a casual conversation, he narrated, how his wife used to do, Shri Sai 9 Thursdays Vrat and she had done this 3 times, so easily at the flash of her thought for her various problems. I had the eargerness to knowa and read the same in detail in this Manisha ji's website. Also read some of the experiences posted here by various devotees related to Vrat. This inspired. But I had a very little desire to observe that Vrat & not determined. Then I spoke to my senior's wife about this problem. She encouraged me to do Sai Vrat & said that Baba wants to help me in that way & He sees to that i can also observe it easily without any hesitation. I prayed to Saibaba to guide & help me.

The desire became strong & i felt confident by the grace of Sai. The immediate thursday, i started the Sai Nav Guruwar Vrat. First 3 thursdays it was terribly easy as if Saibaba himself arranged & did everything for me. Those 3 thursdays, after finishing the pooja, few seconds i felt someone is sprinkling holy water on me but i am not wet. From 4th Thursday i did Vrat Pooja with little bit of anxiety that i should finish the Vrat as a whole and complete. That anxiety i could feel as if baba pulled out his hand & left me to do with my whole effort. But he left me with positive attitude & enthusiasm, that i was doing those remaining weeks pooja with much determination & interest.

During the 4th week, when i went to Sai Temple, one of the flower vendors told me baba is continuously pestering in her dream to tell me to eat two Neem leaves attached in one stem from the neem tree in the temple (leaves not to be separated) for three days continuously in the morning in empty stomach. I was surprised and asked if i could not eat the raw neem leaf for it is bitter, she suggested to immerse in water & drink it.

But above all baba casually made me to heat water for few minutes with 2 neem leaves immersed so that the effect of neem leaves & the bitter taste got mixed sufficiently with water to cure the disease. Second day with fresh 2 attached neem leaves, i gave more heat to water than the 1st day so that the bitter effect is more to cure the problem. This way i drank that bitter water in empty stomach for three days with or without faith (hoping for relief).

Some asked why the gods/saints make us do these, when we are already suffering. It is simple, we will not be knowing the value of God, if we get everything without effort. If life becomes easy for humans, he/she will tend to do more mistakes & sins and there will be no repentance at all. To control our speeding ignorant lives, the speed-breakers/prayers by our efforts are must to counter accidents/sufferings.

By his grace, I could do the pooja, reading vrat stories, related slokas as stated in the book but not the fasting part. I do not have the capacity to fast with one-time meal. After pooja & visiting the temple, I took normal meals in the morning, mild snacks in the afternoon and mini tiffin in the night. I asked a big pardon to baba as this is only possible to me & he know my condition. But i felt Baba is very kind & affectionate.

Lastly, He tested me little bit during the 9th week. The 9th week wednesday evening, I placed an order of food parcels, sweets & water packets in a hotel nearby Sai temple to distribute after completing the Vrat on Thursday. After placing the order & paying the money, i came back home & night i was having mild fever. I was afraid if i could ever finish this 9th Thursday Vrat and uncertain about my situation. I left to my Sai & said, if you want me to finish this week, then please help, if it is otherwise, then also please guide & make me complete the Vrat Pooja on the Thursday, He desire.

Thankfully I felt normal the next day & completed the 9th Thursday Vrat Pooja as planned by Saibaba. After distirbuting the Vrat books & doing Anna dhan, i came home with a satisfaction thinking it as a big achievement and thanked baba heartily. I felt the grace of baba. I was surprised at my next menstrual cycle being normal. It also became regular afterwards. Amazing are the divine powers of Shirdi Sai. True Saints/Sadgurus are the only Souls on earth, who are working hard for the welfare of the people even after their Mahasamadhi.

As this problem was solved miraculously and did not give any kind of trouble thereafter, i did not go even for a check-up, to know everything was alright as i left to baba that He will guide me through, if i need a further check-up. Till date i forgot those troubles & getting on with Baba's help & guidance. I am ever grateful to baba for giving me guidance in need of the hour.

The duration from the problem starts upto we get our guru's grace (here saibaba's grace) in solving the complications, is the duration we have to suffer our past karmic deeds and it is where patience to be observed as advised by baba. It is easy to advise ''patience'' in words and not so in practical situation. To our prayers, baba will definitely show the way out of sufferings.

To what extent we put our faith & prayers in the ways possible for us, will reduce the severity & remove the complexity of the malady. At this point, it is to be said, if a person could not think of a big pooja due to his/her health, finance & any odd situation, Simple pooja like lighting couple of incense sticks, sugar cubes for naivedya and little flowers as offering daily with doing a bit of charity to his/her capacity is enough. For people who cannot think of, even these simple measures, sincere remembrance on saibaba daily with prayer or naam chanting alone will do wonders for them. Baba knows us better than ourselves.

Gods are kind enough to send their incarnations, time & again by way of many known & unknown saints & sadgurus to redeem this world from the clutches of sins & adharma. Sadgurus reform humans in the ways unimaginable & preach them the importance of life to be lived with spiritual awareness for the goal of liberation or self-realization. They make people realize the existence of the Almighty, the para-brahma pervading through the space everywhere like we, the devotees feel Shri Saibaba everywhere. It is upto ourselves, how we are sincere & determined, practice His teachings in our lives to earn the Care of our Dear Mother Sai.

Bow to Shri Sai, Peace be to all.

Sai's Instant Answer:

Om Sai Ram

Dear Manisha

In Satcharitha, Baba has said, the moment you think of me with whole hearted devotion, i will be by you day and night. But even without thinking of him, Baba's speciality is to always remind us wherever we are, by music, movies, stickers, posters, tv ads, magazines etc. (indicating i am taking care of you).

For the past 10 days i am suffering from terrible back pain. Though i am into treatment, the doctor has not put me on to correct observation. It is taking time (say.. karma is taking time). Couple of days back, in the evening, i was reading a news daily sitting at home. At a moment i could not bear the pain and i just spoke to baba casually, "Baba where you? Are you here or in the main building (shirdi) & see i am unable to bear the pain, please give me relief soon? Baba, do you hear me? was my actual talk to him.

Suddenly in a flash, i turned to the left as if some one has directed me & saw the black & white photo lamination of baba with his gang in umbrella in my room. To my great surprise, Vibuthi was scattered on the laminated photo answering to my call, like.... "I am very much near you. why you doubt & worry?". I am attaching couple of photos of Baba's presence by vibuthi sticking on the lamination. This itself is a marvel. That vibhooti was of a very fine powder with fresh divine smell.

I shouted in surprise & called my family members & we all emptied that vibhuthi powder applying on our forehead & thanked baba heartily. This is yet one more drop of leela to the ocean of many of leelas He is blessing to many devotees around the world. Please post this & photos attached herewith to the Will of Shri Sai at your convenience. Thanks. Sairam.
Sainath Maharaj Ki Jai

Shirdi Sai Baba's Grace-Experience Of Sai Devotees-Part 21.

noreply@blogger.com (Manisha.Rautela.Bisht) — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 23:31:00 +0000

Dear all,
Happy Baba's day
Reading and sharing Baba's leela's with each other not only enhance our realisation of the Baba's Divine power and His love for His children but also enrich us with His teachings .These teachings slowly but certainly transforms us into a better human being which reflects in our actions , speech and our daily worldly dealings. The refinement of oneself happens internally, silently and slowly after coming in touch with divine Baba .Reading Sai Satcharitra,His leela and sharing the glory of Baba make us realise the true human value and help us become a better person .

Let us continue following the path shown by our Sai and try to follow His teachings through the nectar shared by His children through this Sai Baba's platform. Here are few Sai Baba's experiences shared by Sai devotees. Jai Sai Ram .

Experience 1:

My Experiences with Shirdi Sai Baba.

Dear Manisha Didi,

I want to share my experiences with our Beloved Baba. Thank you for providing us with this wonderful platform which gives us hope, courage in our toughest time. Please do not share my Name nor email id.

I have been a devotee of Lord Sai Baba, for the past 2 years may be. Earlier I have never known him. It all started with my husband's eye problems, which used to happen on and off, with severe pain, redness, itching. For the past 10 years he was suffering.
No Doctors could identify what was the real problem. That time through a friend I came to know of Baba, started visiting temple.Things started to change after that, by Baba's blessings, which i am sure. Now he is doing fine.

But I feel I am immature devote sometimes, my faith shaking at times, again will be running to Baba for help. But still he has never left me. I am really sorry Baba for this.I had to undergo tough situations at home. I have 2 sisters. One got married, but was having some marital issues. Her husband used to drink a lot, and there was no peace in the family. She used to cry a lot, had faith in God. Finally I did Sai Baba Nine Thursday vrat for my sister. But still things were not changing. Also Doubts started to raise in my mind, also my faith shaking. Because it was really tense. My parents were really worried. After waiting patiently , which I used to lack very often now things have changed for her. She says now her husband shows lots of love to her, and their son, started respecting my parents. His character had changed a lot. That was really a good news.Thank you Baba for saving her married life.

Coming to my younger sister. She was in love with a person for 2 years, she wanted to marry him. My parents were against this alliance, but since she was adamant, they had to agree. We asked him to bring his parents and relatives to our house, so that we can proceed further. But when it comes to marriage, he used to say, his parents won't allow, since it is inter-caste marriage, also his mom is sick and has some tumour in brain. Since he is the only son, he needs some time, or else if his mom comes to know about his affair something will happen to her. Also he said, his mom wanted him to marry his uncle's daughter.

Finally my parents said, we cannot wait further,we waited for 2 years, again we can't. Then we got the same reply from him, telling he needed some more time. This arouse suspicion in us. We started to use our contacts to find about him, then we came to know, his name is fake, he is already married, and he was actually trying to cheat my sister. My sister was earlier not convinced , she was strong in her decesion. Finally i told her about Baba, she used to go to yourssaibaba.com for answers from Baba, she got a message "Hidden facts will be relieved ". Also i too went in this website, and asked Baba, The reply was give food in the name of your mom, everything will be alright. I did this exactly. Within a week everything got settled. The relationship,between my sister and my parents started to improve, she agreed to marry a person whom parents chose. Thanks Baba for saving my sister's lifes.I have few problems in life which still remain unsolved, I know by Baba's blessings, everything will be alright. Sorry Sai ma for hurting you, for doubting you. Please give me lots and lots of patience, which I do lack, when tough situations come in my life. Help me that my faith won't be shaken ..
Thank you so much.
Sairam.

Experience 2:

Baba's Miracles

Dear Manisha Didi, First of all thank you for this website and all the help you do for us to get closer to Baba. Please do not disclose my name or e-mail address. I am a Catholic girl from Kerala who is living with family in the US. I am very grateful to my two Telugu friends for introducing me to Baba.

I first came to know about Sai Baba through one of my very close friends. He used to avoid meat on Thursdays because it is Baba’s day. He is a firm believer of Baba. Whenever he goes to India he for sure visits Shirdi. Though I came to know about Baba through him I was not praying to Baba at the time.

Few years later I was going through some difficult times, then another friend of mine who is also Telugu told me about Baba and that he prays to him every day because he was also going through some difficulty in life. I was then curious about Baba and I started searching for his life stories and prayers online. I also came across this beautiful site through that search.

I am not religious but very spiritual. To me God is the same person and we all call him different names. I have even caught myself looking at Baba’s idol or picture and calling him Baby Jesus. I have caught myself chanting “Om Sai Ram” in my heart when I was attending church mass many times.

Let me tell you how Baba assured me on 3 different occasions that he’s with me, watching me, and listening to my prayers.

Sai leela 1:

It was Oct 29, 2010. I took day off from work that day so I could go to Baba’s temple and pray for this very special person in my life as it was his Birthday. It’s about 45 minutes drive for me to reach nearest Baba’s temple from my house. As I was driving to the temple that morning I was telling Baba “Sainatha, if you are going to wear yellow & green clothes when I come see you today, I am going to believe that you were expecting me there today and is accepting my prayers”. For some reason the color yellow reminds me of Baba. Whenever I see a yellow car or anything yellow that stands out I chat “Om Sai Ram” 3 times. When I walked inside the temple I saw that Baba was wearing yellow. I was glad to see that but I didn’t see any traces of green. I sat down to pray to baba with my eyes closed. There were lot of helpers inside the temple helping the priest to adorn Baba’s idol with flowers. I was not paying attention to them. When I opened my eyes, I don! ’t know even know how to explain my feeling at that time. I saw the priest putting a garland of green leaves around Baba on top of the yellow clothes he was wearing. It looked as if he was wearing a yellow cloth with green border. It looked so beautiful. I knew then and there Baba accepted my visit to him that day and also accepted my prayers. Thank you Baba for that wonderful experience!

Sai Leela 2:

One morning I was on my way to work. I was not feeling mentally well that day. I was too emotional and for some reason I started crying and asking for Baba to get rid of the pain in my heart and begged him and told him I do not have anyone besides him and his lotus feet. All I could do is hug his feet and request him to be there for me always. Then I remembered reading other Sai devotee experiences about seeing Baba’s picture inside vehicles and things like that. Since I live in the US, there is no way I could find any pictures or idols of Baba inside vehicles or shops. I have a small idol of Baba in my room and also another one on top of my desk at work. I told Baba if he’s going to ease my pain, to show himself to me in any form besides the idols in my room and at work. And I was thinking at the same time “why am I asking this, it’s not easy to find a picture or idol of Baba.” I chanted Baba’s name and went to work. I do keep a cooking blog and I do follow so! me other bloggers. I have the habit of checking my e-mails first and then the blog when I get to work. As usual I was checking post from other bloggers. One of the recipes a blogger posted looked interesting and clicked on the link to her blog. I was not a frequent visitor to her blog. When I clicked on her blog the very first thing I saw was a picture of none other than our Sai Baba. I thanked him for again proving that he’s there for me.

Sai Leela 3:

This happened yesterday. As usual I was chanting Baba’s name while I was driving to work and I was asking Baba for a favor that I have been asking him for about a year now. I said “Baba, if you are going to do this favor for me when you feel the time is appropriate please give me some kind of sign. Then I completely forgot that asked him for this favor. I came home. Prayed to Baba and was sitting down to watch a movie online with my sister and Mom. My sister turned on the TV and suddenly I noticed something on the top right hand corner of the screen, a beautiful picture of Baba. I hope you can imagine I happy and grateful I was feeling. I rushed to my room to pray in front of Baba’s idol and was thanking him over and over and over, that even when I forget he is not forgetting me. He’s there for me and will make sure that I am happy.

Before I went to bed last night I told Baba that I will share this experience and here I am. I almost forgot to do this. Baba, please forgive me for forgetting. You kept reminding me that I was forgetting something I promised you.

Baba knows what is good for us and he will let us know that when the time is right. Just have firm faith and patience. Baba thank you so much for being there for me and for all your devotees. You are great. Manisha didi, thank you so much for posting this experience so others could read this. I am sorry the post is a bit lengthy. I will write again when another miracle happens.
Om Sai Shri Sai Jai Jai Sai

Experience 3:

Namaste.

I feel blessed to share my experience in Shirdi here. Last time when i went to shirdi with my mom i was in queue complex. My mom was before and i was the last person in that line. I casually turned back and saw an old man dressed in saffron dhoti and shirt with white beard, coming into the line. Dont know why i touched his feet and gave him way. Then i started walking behind him.

I always had a thought about the security pushing me out at the samadhi darshan to clear the line...ofcourse its their duty. That moment i decided in my mind...that if the person whom i am following is BABA then he wil take me through the crowd easily and will give me ample time near samadhi to see my almighty.

To my surprise the line moved so quickly that i was infront of baba in 5-10 minutes. Once i saw him tears rolled out of my eyes and seeing me ,the guards who were standing there told me...RONA NAHIN. BABA KO DEKHO AUR JO CHAHIYE MAANGO. What else do i have to ask him. I was speechless just with tears pouring out.
jai sairam.

Experience 4:

Sai ram
I would like to share my story .My husband passed away recently, and i was going through lot of depression and on top of that not even one month had passed , when my in laws came and fought with me, and they put caveat on my husbands assests, the tug of war battle drained me and my small children in that grieving time.

I went to baba for many days ,cried my heart out, baba please put an end to all this since i cannot take it, every time i asked baba He said you will win. Many people siting there also said i will win. So on the hearing day i went to court taking babas blessing .I dont know how it happened but my case ended up paying them 25% of the assets ,though i was not happy, but Baba took me out of that hell of going to court. I feel relaxed now and I regularly read Sai Satchitra chapter 37 every day befor sleeping and i sleep very well.All this is babas blessing.

Thank you baba.

Shirdi Sai Baba's Grace-Experience Of Sai Devotees-Part 20.

noreply@blogger.com (Manisha.Rautela.Bisht) — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 02:26:00 +0000

Dear all,
Happy Baba's day to all.
Here is another Sai leela shared by Sai devotee after reading the experience of brother Shirish.She is fulfilling her promise to Baba as she had vowed.It is indeed Baba's blessing,love and grace which makes us fulfill our promise by taking care of our problem and strengthing our faith whether ,we do it by making a vow or by merely having complete trust on Him .

Along with this there are two more experiences shared by Sai devotees which also highlight the omnipotence of gracious Sai deva.Jai Sai Ram .

Promise to Shirdi Sai Baba :

Sairam Manisha,
When I was browsing for the tamil version of Sree Sai Satcharita,I came to know about this website where sai devotees can share their experiences with Sai Baba. It was quite interesting to read the devotees experiences. It also made me feel how Sai has showered his blessings to his devotees in the way He desires.

I was mentally disturbed and in depression for few problems in my sister's life at that time. I was seeking Sai Ram to help me come out of the problems. I was begging in front of him for a solution almost every day.

Then I believed that all the problems will come to an end if I read Sree Sai Satcharita. Hence I searched for the tamil version of the book and finally I got it.Thanks for uploading . At the same time, I happened to know about this wonderful website too. Then, I promised Sai Ram, "if you solved the problems, I will post the experiences in this website".

After that I started reading the book. I read two chapters per day. Initially, I didn't experience any change. I was crying before him to bless my sister and give her a happy married life, and mental peace for my parents.

She was very adamant to accept for her marriage. Even the basic communication between my sister and parents had been cut and lot of misunderstandings happened. My parents became very depressed of her behavior. On the other end relatives were questioning about her marriage to my parents. The mental torture was increasing day by day.

I found no way other than to put the burden to His Holy feet. I was trying to convince my parents to be patient for some more days. At the same time I tried to convince my sister also. But both stood in their own way they wanted. I was about to loose my patience and faith in Sai Baba.

Whenever I was in deep depressed state about the issue, I sought for Sai Ram's answer. I too received positive replies. But thought when will the issues get! over.

At last, I decided to resolve at least the misunderstandings between them. Instead of speaking to them separately, I thought to speak with my parents as well as to my sister at the same time. I was expecting for the right time. One fine morning, I got the chance. I called my mother and my sister and made them to speak to each other and convinced both.

In front of my mother, I gave assurance to my sister that they won't force her marriage until she accepts. Similarly, I asked her to move closely with appa and amma as they are living and doing everything for her sake only. I pleaded to both of them to forget the past arguments, disputes, and the bitter experiences so far happened and at least from now on live for each other as it is our happiness we are missing unnecessarily.

Unfortunately I didn't get chance to involve my father in this discussion. Anyway, I conveyed everything to him later and asked to be patient for some more for time. I know still he is having the pain deep in his heart. But, from that day uptill now, there is no problem of misunderstandings and miscommunications. Though we (my parents and me) have deep pain about her decision in our heart, the mental torture has been reduced a lot because of the love we are sharing among us now.

I thanked Sai Ram for this. Still I believe that He will definitely change my sister's mind and give her a blissful life. Hope my wish and prayer come true soon.

Actually, I did not have any idea to share this experience till the moment I started to write. After long time, I visited this site today.

By chance, I happened to read the statement (it is the message to me, I hope) "Sai Baba'virku kudukum vakkurithigalai meeratheergal (Don't break the promises and vows to Sai Baba)". After reading this, I thought for sometime whether I have forgotten any promises I made to him.

The promise of 'sharing my experience in this site' was flashed in my mind. In fact, I didn't forget this promise. But had thought to share the experience after my sister accepts for her marriage. But then, I realized that I have promised Him, "If the problems come to an end, I will share my experience". Though it has not fully solved, I don't have the mental torture now as my parents come out of the depression and have peace of mind (to some extent). This made me write and He made me write.

As I promised, I will definitely post my experience once my sister is blessed with a happy married life as per my parents' desire and wish. Hope He will make it soon.

Sai Ram!

Sai Sathya Vratha mahima And Udi mahima:

Dear Manisha, I visit your website every day, thanks for providing such platform to share sai baba's miracles.

Sai Sathya vratha mahima:

I read some experiences in this site related to sai sathya vratha mahima, I wanted to do it but due to busy schedules I couldn’t perform.

I have a brother who got married in 2010. Initial few months they spent happily, after that due misunderstandings and communication gap issues started in their married life, his wife left to her mother’s place.

During this period my mother visited me to look after my baby as I work full time. My mother was very upset with my brother problems. My brother constantly calling his wife to sort out the problem between them, also he spoke to her parents. She wasn’t interested in coming back home. It seemed impossible that they will be back together. Our only hope was sai baba. I thought of doing sai sathya vratham, I got the procedure to perform sai sathya vratham from this site and explained the procedure to my mother.

I used to work from home on Thursday to perform this vratham. With baba’s blessing we completed the sai sathya vratham with out any problem. During this whole period things got even worse and my brother started thinking on getting diverse.

Week after completing sai sathya vratham my brother called us and said his wife agreed to come back home and misunderstanding between them are cleared. We were so happy to hear this, it’s definitely baba who solved this problem.

Now my brother and his wife are happy together.

Udi mahima:

One of my best friends young daughter was sick may be due to weather change. They are in touch with doctor, due to diarrhea she became weak and was admitted in hospital. We visited her, I gave Udi to my friend, she also believes very much in Baba. In her presence I applied udi to baby and asked her to apply daily. Her condition was worse, they did minor surgery to arrange pipes so that food can be passed to her as the baby was not able to take anything by mouth. Doctors prediction was it may take month to recover.

After a weak she recovered and came back home. Baba is the only hope for me for any problem in day to day life.

Thanks baba for being with us.

Sai Deva Darshan on Mahasamadhi:

I am a very small devotee of Deva, Anamika Singh residing in India. Please don't share my email-id. First time i am sharing my experience. I tried many times but unable to share.

Sai Deva ko mera Koti Koti Pranam.Baba I am unable to describe your blessings, which you are showering on me everyday, every seconds.

I am nothing without you.

Dear Sai Sister Manisha ji.
your site and your effort of sharing experiences of devotees is also a blessing of Deva for all devotees like me. These experiences provide us hope in our bad days. Please share this. You are free to edit.

I want to share very pleasing experience of Sai Darshan on Mahasamadhi Diwas, 15.10.2010.
That i was very eager to have Deva's Darshan. I planned to go to a Sai Temple near my place. I convinced my husband. He told me that first we will go to BSNL office for lodging a broadband complain then we will go to Temple. We went to the office. My husband went inside and he took too much time. I was waiting outside eagerly to go to the temple. when he came outside he told me that we will go to the Temple in evening because he is late for his office. I felt very disappointed, started praying to Baba.

When we were on the way, we saw some policemen checking the papers of the vehicle which was a completely unusual thing for that road. We don't have papers that time, so my husband took a shorcut road. We were anaware about that narrow road. One stanger told us to turn left from the next corner. I felt very much blessed when I saw a small and very beautiful Sai Temple on that corner. I felt that Sai came to meet me and gave darshan on such a auspiciou day. We had a very beautiful darshan of Deva.
This year also we have a very good darshan of Deva.
today I got a very good and important news which i will share next time.

Raham Nazar Karna Hamesha Mere Sai.
Aap Hi Mere Maa Baap Bhai.

Sai Baba Mightier Than Problem-Experience By Sai Kartikeya Bisht.

noreply@blogger.com (Manisha.Rautela.Bisht) — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 10:10:00 +0000

Shri Sai Satcharitra Chapter XXX-"Bow to the Kind Sai Who is the Abode of Mercy and Who is affectionate towards His devotees. By His mere darshan, He does away with their fear of this 'bhava' (samsar) and destroys their calamities. He was first Nirgun (formless), but on account of the devotion of His Bhaktas, He was obliged to take a form. To give liberation - self-realisation to the Bhaktas is the mission of the saints, and for Sai - the Chief of them, that mission is inevitable. Those who take refuge in His Feet have all their sins destroyed and their progress is certain. Remembering His Feet, Brahmins from holy places come to Him and read scriptures and chant the Gayatri mantra in His presence. We, who are weak and without any merits, do not know what Bhakti is but we know this much, that though all others may leave us, Sai won't forsake us. Those whom He favours get enormous strength, discrimination between the Unreal and the Real and knowledge.

Sai knows fully the desire of His devotees and fulfills the same. Hence they get what they want and are grateful. So we invoke Him and prostrate ourselves before Him. Forgetting all our faults let Him free us from all anxieties. He who being overcome with calamities remembers and prays Sai thus, will get his mind calmed and pacified through His grace.

Baba's leela and experience are not mere tale, but pure nectar. He who drinks it will realise Sai's greatness and all-pervasiveness. Those who want to argue and criticise, should not go in for these stories. What is wanted here, is not discussion but unlimited love and devotion. Learned, devout and faithful believers or those, who consider themselves as servants of the Saints, will like and appreciate these stories, others will take them to be fables. The fortunate Bhaktas of Sai, will find the Sai-leelas as the Kalpataru (Wish-fulfilling Tree). Drinking this nectar of Sai-leelas, will give liberation to the ignorant Jivas, satisfaction to the house-holders and a sadhana to the aspirants."

Dear readers,
Happy Baba's day and Happy Dussera to all,
Reading the divine excerpt written above from Shri Sai Satcharitra realises us the infinite power and magnanimity of Sai deva.Here is one such divine leela of our Shri Sai Baba.

In the last post there was a detail explanation by brother Shirish about promise made to Lord Sai Baba .Today I wish to share something similar which happened during last 2-3 days in my home.

Regular reader know about Kartikeya(my son) and the sketches he does .This year in the month of June he decided to sketch Baba's picture for Gurupurnima as he did last year but due to lot of extra -curricular activities he kept postponing .He had started to sketch but left it incomplete to do it some other time.I asked him several time when he is going to complete? And he was always answered in affirmative that he would complete it in time. But he could not do so and I did not force him, thinking that if Baba wishes then only he will be able to draw His divine form .

So I did not ask him any further .Gurupurnima came and I asked him has he completed and he felt sorry that he could not . I too did not feel bad but I did mention to him that what is obstructing him for completing his sketch .I advised him to at least complete the work he started and not leave it incomplete .He listened and agreed but as usual forget .

Few days back when I had posted about brother Shirish I was trying to educate my both son regarding the promise and vow to Baba and to any body in general .My obejcive was to educate them about the value of promise and how it should be carried .I was also explaining how Baba's children make promise to Baba for various reason and than how Baba responds .

On saturday both my son went for their basketball game .During the game Kartikeya was pushed and rolled over by another boy of his team and he hurt his finger on left hand.We causally took the incident and pacified him as normal injuries of the game.

Next day he felt more sore on his finger ,with pain and swelling . Since it was sunday and GP was closed we decided to take him for X-ray and other check up on monday.

On monday morning when I looked at his finger I found it bit blue and immediately booked an appointment with the GP. I was referred to take him for x-ray .After having his x-ray taken we were waiting for his report ,during this time I started talking to boys about Baba's Mahasamdhi and asked them how we should spend the day .During the conversation I recollected that Kartikeya had not completed his painting .I reminded him and said he would definitely complete it .

In the mean time the report came and the radiologist suggested for another referral from doctor for an Ultra sound as they were suspecting some wear or tear of tendon or ligament along with a small fracture in the finger.

I was taken aback by the severity of the injury and immediately prayed to Baba for His grace.Kartikeya reading my face expression and radiologist suggestion supspected something serious and started feeling scared.

He got more scared as he recollected his Karate teacher's injury ,where the teachers hand was hit by a glass and he broke his tendon and needed multiple surgery .In spite of all the treatment and surgery the teacher was not able to recover completely .He was unable to make a fist and finger did not roll properly to close. All this made him more nervous,he was choked and he was in tears. I could understand his fear and asked him to only chant Baba's name and not to worry what the report will be.I told him that no one can help him other than our Sai deva so instead of fearing and crying it will be good if he can focus and chant Baba's name.He quitely chanted Baba's name .

We left for ultrasound and waited for report, chanting Baba's name. During our waiting period Kartikeya said "Mummy I will complete Baba's sketch and I promise that from now on every year I will draw Baba's sketch on Gurupurnima or Mahasamadhi ".I was touched by his promise and to this he added that I wish that this Mahasamadhi we chant Baba's name like your friend did .

I would like to mention here to readers that my friend had one lakh time Lalitha Shashranam chanting sankalp in her home on sunday where I had gone.So I had casually mentioned to my husband and both son after returning that let us do Naam Jaap of Baba on 6th October.

Hearing him I was really touched and said definitely we will do that .Let the report be Baba's wish ,you should definitely carry out the following promises. He said "I have promised with my vows and have seeked Baba to save me from severe injury or operation ".I confirmed him that Baba will not let any harm be on him .

After sometime we got the report and I learnt that he has injury(avulsion injury to his finger) which would heal by buddy taping but no severe damage of tendon or ligament and he does not require plastering his hand. It was relief to us from fear of surgery and Baba's blessing to Kartikeya. Immediately we all thanked Baba and came home .

Kartikeya stood in home temple and applied Udi and silently thanked Baba many time.

It would be worth mentioning that after having ice pack for 10 minutes Kartikeya was busy sketching Baba's picture which he had left incomplete during gurupurnima.I really wondered as he did not sit with his brother to play PS3 or got involved in any other activities after spending whole day in his check up and hospital visit .

I believe this is another way of Baba to instill the faith,patiance and value of commitment in Kartikeya at this tender age of 10+ year .He very well knows now that promise to Baba is to be carried out and Baba is mightier than the problem .

We all once again witnessed the grace of Baba ,grace of chanting His holy name and witnessed blessing of having full faith in our Param pita Sairam who rescued us from another big problem .

Attached above are few photos made by Kartikeya purely with Grace of Baba .This picture is an attempt to try making the famous painting of Baba which is in the home of Dr Gawanker .I would like to clarify this is an attempt and has no comparision with the original painting of Baba which is unique and original and cannot be compared by any means.

I would also like to bring to notice of readers that this sketch was drawn seeing the cover of the recently released divine book "Shirdiche Sai Baba".

This book was sent to me by G.P Sinha Bhaiya and that is how Kartikeya was inspired to draw.

When Kartikeya incident happened ,it also reminded me of the book and its note to published on website to all the devotees. I reminded Sinha Bhaiya and he immediately arranged the note to be shared to all via Leeladhar ji .This all happened in such a short span of one day ,that the announcement of the book was chosen by Baba to be Mahasamadhi day ,a Guruwar unknown and unplanned to all of us .What else can I write about the Sai leela!!Baba knows His way .

I am publishing another exclusive post on the details of this blessed book .Readers are requested to go through these details and avail the oppurtunity of knowing another gem of a book for their spiritual quest .
Devotees are requested to leave their comment for kartikeya below this post .Please feel free to suggest or guide kartikeya .

Devotees witnessing something similar can share their experience Here.

Children can come forward and share their Sai thought,sai creative work like painting and poem and post me in this E-mail manisha.bisht@saimail.com or Here with the subject line "Shirdi Sai Baba -By children"

Jai Sai Ram

Shirdiche Sai Baba-Rare Divine Book Inaugrated.

noreply@blogger.com (Manisha.Rautela.Bisht) — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 09:50:00 +0000

Happy Baba's Day and Vijaya Dhasami Day to all.

On the eve of Maha Samadhi Day of Shri Shirdi Saibaba and Vijaya Dhasami Day, May Sadguru Saibaba of Shirdi and Goddess Maa bless you all with Great Health, Wisdom, Happiness, Peaceful Life, Prosperity, Contentment, Love to all beings.May the Lord Bless you all with the most important thing of life, that is doing Charity in all the ways possible and getting Spiritual awareness to attain the goal of life (Self-Realisation and Liberation) with God's Grace. Sath Chith Aanandha Sathguru Shri Sainath Maharaaj Ki Jai ! Lokhaa SamasthA Sukino Bhavanthu ! Om Shanthi Shanthi Shanthi Hi ! Bow to Shri Sai, Peace be to All. Shubham.

It is purely divine blessing of Baba that on this auspicious day without any prior notification the launch of divine,rare book "Shirdiche Sai Baba" in english is taking place through this blessed platform of Baba.

I was aware of the translation of Marathi book, and none other than our Shri G.P Sinha Bhaiya was taking care of getting this task done.(I would like to mention here - Sinha Bhaiya has been serving Sai devotees by praying for them through this website and devotees have immensely benefited .Readers can read Here.)

Hence Sinha Bhaiya was time to time keeping me in update with the progress. It has been more than a year this work started,finally on 27th May 2011 the divine book was inaugurated in presence of blessed devotees of Baba ,whose details are mentioned below.

I would like to thank G.P Sinha Bhaiya, Leeladhar ji ,Vinny Chitluri didi ,Smt.Sangeeta Joshi,Dr.V R Prabhu and everyone whom Baba chose as the sevak of this task and who in turn passed on this Baba's work to be published here in this website for all devotees .

I feel blessed to recieve this book on Gurupurnima and I have deeply enjoyed each chapter .There are many incidences shared by Dr.Gawanker ji which touches readers soul and are not printed any where in any book .I personally liked the first chapter which is a hair raising experience and is a blessing to each devotee who reads it .

Before I proceed to other details I would also like to mention ,the book "Shirdiche Sai Baba"was not in schedule to be published today on His Mahasamadhi day.It is definitely again Baba's blessing .I will be posting detail in next post about this .

Dear readers ,
Here is the complete details of the book as well as of the function ,as written and sent by Shri V.V Leeladhar ji. He is Baba's ankit child who is serving mankind and His devotees silently .Leeladhar ji has provided devotees with Udi,information of Shirdi and above all sharing rare resource of Shirdi Sai Baba books and literature which is rare to find in this period of time anywhere other than the website http://saileelas.org which is free to read and open to all .This is his selfless seva to all Sai children.

Readers can read the details of the book "Shirdiche Sai Baba " below as sent by Leeladhar ji.
Jai Sai Ram .

A note by Sri V V Leeladhar on Book Release Function of “SHIRDICHE SAI BABA” by Dr. K B Gawankar.Translated from Marathi into English by Smt. Sangeeta Joshi.

I, Leeladhar, was very fortunate to attend this ceremony in Ville Parle, Mumbai on 27 May 2011. The function was held at Baba’s temple in one of HIS staunch devotees Late Smt. Chandrabai Borakar’s house .

Note:Readers can read abour Late Smt. Chandrabai -one of Baba's devotee by following the two links given below.

The function was attended by many devotes from Mumbai and other cities. Prominent amongst them were the descendants of devotees who had served Baba until 1918. Sri Anil Dikshit (grandson of Late Kaka Saheb Dikshit) was the Chief Guest. Sri R V Noolkar ( grandson of Late Kakasahib Noolkar), Sri Dattatreaya Deshpande Nimonkar (grandson of Late Nanasaheb Nimonkar), Smt. Ujjawala Borkar (grand daughter in law of Late Chadrabai Borkar). Other dignitaries present were Dr.Vinny Chitluri (author of many books on Baba) and Dr V R Prabhu ( author of biography of Swami Akkalkot Maharaj).

Before I proceed with the details of the ceremony, it is important to know who Dr K B Gawankar was?

Note:The detail below about Unique relation of Baba with Keshav Gawanker ji has been published in the website long back .Readers can read complete detail along with picture of Baba's Kafani,photo of Keshav Gawanker ji by following the link provided HERE..I am attaching the same details below for readers ease.

Who was Keshav Gawankar ?

Keshav Gawankar lived with his parents in Bombay. When he was 7 years old, he was seriously ill with 'nava jwara' (fever). All kinds of treatments and remedies were tried, but of no avail. The fever was relentless and his chest was congested and full of fluid and pus. He hovered at death's door. A devotee called Galwankar (Dhabolkar's son in law) lived close by, he advised his parents to pray to Baba and make a vow. His aunt who was nearby vowed to Baba that they would go to Shirdi with pedhas if her nephew recovered.

Early next morning, the parents noticed that the fever had come down, and there was a tiny hole in the chest below the nipple. From this hole pus and fluid was oozing out. A few hours later the doctor came to see the patient and was astounded to see him recovering. The doctor prescribed some medicines and left. He recovered good health in a few days but a tiny scar was present on his chest.

Five years later in 1918 when Keshav was 12 years, and studying in Marathi school Standard V they went to Shirdi. He, his parents and aunt went to Dwarakamai took Baba's darshan and handed Him a packet of pedhas. Baba took the packet of pedhas and gave six pedhas to Keshav and ate the rest. Shama who was stading nearby said "What is this Deva, you are eating all the pedhas?" Baba pointing to his aunt said "She kept Me hungry for five years".

Then He made Keshav sit nearby and lovingly passed His handover his back. Baba then asked Keshav for Dakshina of two paise.

Keshav didn't understand what was happening so Shama interjected and said "Keshav Rao just say; Baba I offered the Dakshina and You accepted it" Baba agreed and as Keshav said this Baba took off His Kafni and gave it to Keshav. Shama again interceded on Keshav's behalf saying "Baba Keshav is too young to accept Your Maha Prasad (Kafni) let me keep it for him till he becomes: a little older and mature. Then I will hand it over to him, Deva". Baba agreed again. So Shama preserved the Kafni with tender loving care and gave it to him at an appropriate time.

When the family was was ready for departure every one stood up and did Namaskar by folding their hands. Keshav also did the same. Baba looked at Keshav and becokened him to come near then Baba held his hand gently pulling him to be seated. As soon as Keshav sat nearby Baba swiftly slapped him across his cheek. Keshav's head reeled and he saw stars. His whole body started quivering and shaking and this lasted for a few hours. Then catching hold of his shendy (tuft of hair). He pulled his head and placed it on His feet. Baba then applied Udi to his forehead and gave him a palm full saying "Jao beta Allah bhala karega" (Go My son Allah will do good).

Keshav's Moksha Guru was Triambak Vittal Samant (Bahu Maharaj) who visited Shirdi in 1914 and had given Baba Rs.2/ dakshina. Baba then demanded two more rupees and said "I will send one of my sons to you" (Keshav). Under his Guru's grace Keshav studied religious books, academically he became a doctor and began to prosper. But he did not forget Baba. He prayed to Baba daily and as years rolled by he became an ardent devotee. He started celebrating Ram Navami and Vijaya Dashami in his home in Bombay. He did Anna Daan on both the festivals according to his means. In 1939 he dreamt of Baba who said "Bikshecha Bhakar le gode" (the bhakar obtained from Biksha is very sweet.) So he decided to take Biksha.

This was while he was staying in Suneel mansion, Bombay. He got seven piles of Bhakri and jhunka bhakar was made from it. About 250 to 300 people ate to their hearts' content. Before Anna Daan was started 11 jhunka bhakar were offered as Naivedya to Baba. Of the Naivedya offered one bhakar was left before Baba the rest was made into small pieces and distributed. Wonder of wonders the bhakar even after 70 years or more is neither stale nor bitter or covered by fungus nor eaten by ants even now.

It was during his tenure as the President of Shirdi Sansthan that Sai Baba’s statue was installed in the Samadhi Mandir. He was also the editor of SAI LEELA magazine.

Dr.Gavankar has written three books in Marathi viz., 1) Shiladi ( published by Shirdi Sai Sansthan), 2) Sai Baba che Chamatkar, and 3) Shirdiche Sai Baba.

In 1964, one night, Dr. Annasaheb’s sleep was interrupted and he clearly heard Sai Baba say to him, “Come on, get up and start writing My stories.” Dr. Annasaheb was quite sure that it was Baba’s voice. He immediately rose from the bed. After a sincere prayer to Baba he started writing the biography of Baba. He noted the time. It was 1:30 a.m. (after midnight). He went into a trance and started writing and did not stop till 10:00 O’clock in the morning. During that short span of time he had completed many chapters of this book, “Shirdiche Sai Baba”.

The Function Details:

The ceremony started with the evening aarti in the temple.

This was followed by Dr. Sainath K Gawankar (son of Late Dr K B Gawankar) welcoming the guests and requesting the Chief Guest, Sri Anil Dikshitji and other dignitaries to light the ceremonial lamp to mark the commencement of the function.

Seen here are Dr Vinny Chitluri, Sri Dattatreya Nimonkar and Sri Anil Dikshit.
Dr.Gawankar traced briefly the history of the book, He narrated the above mentioned instance of Baba waking up his father and urging him to start writing.The book was completed in due course in 1966 and Anna (Dr Gawankar Sr) did not have money to publish the book. Then one day his friend Shri Ramanlal Patel handed him over Rs.4000 and the book was published and it was sold out and the second edition was brought out in the year 2006.

Dr Sai Nath Gawankar speaking on the occasion…

Then Dr Gawankar narrated how Sri.G.P Sinha met him in the year 2007 and when his wife Smt Asmita Gawankar presented the book in Marathi to Sinhaji, he said he did not know Marathi and if he was permitted he could try to get the book translated into English for the benefit of large number of readers.

Sri G.P.Sinha narrating his story
Next, Sri.G.P Sinha was invited to speak on the occasion. Sinhaji started with invocation of Baba. He then narrated the story how on my (Leeladhar’s) insistence he went to Dr Gawankar’s house with the single aim of darshan of Kafni. There when he learnt about the experiences of Late Dr Gawankar with Baba and many miracles associated with the Gawankar family, he realised this visit was not by chance. When Smt. Gawankar placed the book in Sinhaji’s palms, he immediately did a sankalp in front of Baba’s photo and asked their permission for getting the book translated which was immediately granted.

Sinhaji, then went on to narrate how with the blessings of Swami Akkalkot Maharaj and Baba Himself, he managed to locate Smt Sangeeta Joshi through Dr. V R Prabhu who he did not know at all.

Dr Prabhu saying a few words

Dr V R Prabhu spoke very briefly. He said we have lots of information about Sai Baba but very little knowledge of Baba, and this book helps us to increase this knowledge of Baba. We must understand the true meanings of teachings of Baba given in the book, and practice them in our everyday life.

Smt. Joshi narrating her experiences
Smit.Sangeeta Joshi the translator said, that she had felt that it was Sai Baba who had guided her throughout the translation and though she had translated many books earlier this was a new experience for her, and she thoroughly enjoyed doing the work.

Sri Anil Dikshitji sharing his views

The Chief Guest Sri Dikshitji said that Ville Parle is a very old area where many devotees of Baba resided in those days, and even now many devotees reside in this area, and felt that in the future Vile Parle will become another Shirdi in days to come. He was very complimentary of the work of Late Dr Gawankar and told all of us that he had read the Marathi version between 7 pm and 2 am in one sitting as it was so absorbing.

Finally, the moment arrived for which we all were waiting for. The book was released by Dr Vinny Chitluri. All digantories were given a copy each.

Dr.Vinny released the book and presented copies to the dignatories.

The book is now available for all in India at ebay india at the following link:

Shirdi Sai Baba's Grace-Experience Of Sai Devotees-Part 19.

noreply@blogger.com (Manisha.Rautela.Bisht) — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:01:00 +0000

Dear all,
Happy Baba's day
Sai Deva is compassionate incarnate. He takes care of all His children and worry for their welfare.Below are 2 Sai experiences which reflect Baba's love for His children and how He helped them in every step of their life.I am sure Baba's children have always witnessed His love in their life from time to time and will surely agree that Baba is the Lord who is always running for the welfare of His children.Without writing any further I share the experience below.Jai Sai Ram .

Sai Baba Assurance In Dream :

I am not sure from where do I start writing my experience. I am SAI BABA JI’s devotee since 2001. I have gone through many ups and downs in my life. First of all I want to apologize to SAI BABA JI for not posting my experience earlier. I wanted to write my experience earlier but I wanted some other things to get happen first before I write my experience. But yesterday, I read other devotee’s experience on Manisha Ji’s website and I recalled my promise which I gave to BABA JI. So, I am writing my experience today. I feel that I don’t have words to write BABA JI’s grace on me. I pray toBABA JI to write my experience in his own words.

I was going through some personal problems from last 4 years. But last year in December I got frustrated with my problems and thought that I should end up my life. I have lost my all faith on BABA JI. I didn’t have patience. But I was continuously praying to BABA JI to help me. One day while I was chatting with other BABA JI’S devotee. I didn’t discuss anything about my problems with him. But he told me that I do have faith on BABA JI but I don’t have enough patience.

He said that every coin has two faces i.e. faith and patience. He told me about all the things which were going in my mind. He suggested me to read SAI SATAVAN MANJRI daily. I started reading it in December, 2010 itself. I was continuously pray to BABA JI to help me. In January, 2011 I had one dream.

In Dream, I saw that I went to SAI BABA JI’s temple with my parents. I saw few devotees’ Samadhi there. In my dream I thought that BABA JI always says that he never leaves his devotee alone that’s why all the devotees are still near to baba ji even after their death. That temple was quite different from SHIRDI.

I went near to BABA JI’s statue and offered two dresses to BABA JI. I told BABA JI that whatever I am today is only because of you and I love you a lot. Then all of sudden BABA JI got alive. I can see real BABA JI there. BABA JI went on the right hand side of his statue and sat there.

I told BABA JI that I LOVE YOU very much after hearing this BABA JI smiled. Then I told BABA JI that I got everything because of you. I asked him whether I can touch him or not? BABA JI smiled. I touched my hand on the right cheek of BABA JI. I was thinking that BABA JI has long face like he has in his pictures.

Then I told him that I don’t want to live now and want to get died. He said NO. Then I asked BABA JI when will I get married? BABA JI told me that now I have to go. I told him that I don’t have enough money to go. After hearing this BABA JI went on the left side and started writing something. After he finished writing he came back on the right hand side again and told me that I have written for your tickets and accommodation.

I asked BABA JI whether he will be me there with me or not? He again smiled and then he got disappeared. In the morning I woke up. I was thinking whether it was real dream or not. I was keep thinking about the dream for 2-3 days and I assumed that it was not true dream. On Sunday, Hetal sister posted another one devotee experience on her blog.

In that experience devotee mentioned that she has seen BABA JI alive in the temple. So, I got the assurance that my dream was true. I was waiting for this dream to come true. In first week of April the situations got worst and one day I went to BABA JI’s temple on Thursday and I cried a lot and asked BABA JI that how can anyone says bad things to me if BABA JI is with me.

I told BABA JI that now I am fed with all these things and couldn’t live any more. I have stopped talking with everyone. After two days my managers came to INDIA from UK. I forgot to tell you that I am working as software engineer in India. I had meeting with my bosses on next Friday and they told me that now I need to go to Australia and UK. I didn’t have visas for these two countries. They told me to apply the visas as soon as possible. They said that I need to go to Australia in June, 2011 and UK in July, 2011.

Finally BABA JI words came true. I applied for Visas and got both visas. Even though, I was not sure whether I will get the visas or not. But these things were planned by BABA JI so there was no reason for rejection. I went to Australia in July, 2011 and in the same month I went to UK. I didn’t have digital camera so I requested BABA JI to arrange one camera for me and I promised BABA JI that I will go to BABA JI’s temples in Australia and UK and take BABA JI’s pictures there and will share with everyone.

BABA JI arranged the money and I bought new camera. I went to Australia and wanted to go to BABA JI’s temple. I met with one Indian in the hotel where I stayed and asked about BABA Ji’s temple. He said that he will book cab for me to go to BABA JI’s temple in the morning. Next Day on Sunday I went to BABA JI’s temple and had very nice darshan of BABA JI and came back to the office after temple. All the things went fine in Australia and I came back to india.

After one week I went to UK. I had some financial problems in UK. But with BABA JI’s grace everything went smooth and I got helped with my office. I went to SAI BABA JI’s temple in UK too. I wanted to attend BABA JI’s aarti in UK temple and with BABA JI’s grace I attended the aarti there. It was really blissful experience. Everything went smooth in UK too. I was really feeling that everything was organized by BABA JI there. I came back to India in August. But after coming back here I couldn’t write my experience. May be BABA JI has planned today’s date for writing this experience. I am also attaching SAI BABA JI’s temple pictures which I have clicked in Australia and UK. Kindly post these picture along with my experience. I will be thankful to you.

I also want to share one recent experience. I always used to think that BABA JI gave 9 coins to LAXMI JI. But I am not qualified even for one coin as I do not have faith and patience and even I couldn’t follow the path which BABA JI has shown us. But I was wrong. My company gave new phone to me whose sum of cost is 9 and I got the phone on 27th September that means again 2+7=9 and 9th month. That means BABA JI still consider me as his daughter and love me.

I wish that BABA JI always shower his love on me as he does. I am sorry for this lengthy post. I hope to share my recent experience with all of again.

JAI SAI RAM,
BABA JI’s daughter

Sai Baba's Blessing At Each Step Of My Life:

Sairam Manishaji,
Today I am writing my experience with Baba Maa. I request you to keep my email and name anonymous.

I have been Sai Baba's devotee for 8 years now. In the past 8 years I had to cross many hurdles in my life but I felt that Baba will someday show His mercy on me. Everyday during pooja, I look at Him and then tell myself that Sai will take care of everything. But this particular year has been a trying phase.

First I had to take an exam, then we had issues with green card and my health. Let me first tell about my exam, at first I did not have the courage or the confidence . Then sometime during december 2010 I went ahead and applied for the exam date and started studying.

I had 6 months to prepare and Sai Baba gave me the courage and perseverance to put in my best efforts. On the day of the exam, I prayed to Baba and went to the exam center. When they gave me my locker number ( each candidate is assigned a locker to store their personal items ) I was delighted as it was 9. My happiness knew no bounds.

Suddenly I felt that Baba was there in the exam center assuring me that everything will be alright. It was a 2 day exam and on both the days my locker number was 9. One month later I got my results and got a really good score. My husband said that he was very proud of me. I told him that it was not me that took the exam but it was Sai Maa. Thank You Baba .

Next about the green card. We have been waiting to get a green card for so many years. This year when we thought we almost had a chance and it came to a stand still in the month of september. This was very important for both of our careers. My husband was very disappointed. I was too, but then I told him that I will do Satcharitra Parayan and Baba will help us for sure. My husband said that it was almost impossible for further progress now since every year it stops in september and if it did progress then it is a miracle. Still I went ahead and started doing Parayan.

After the completion in about 3 days when we checked in october, the priority date moved. We were so happy, I got emotional and thanked Baba once again. My husband agreed that it was indeed a miracle.

I started having some health issues recently. This by far has been the most difficult phase . Both of us were tensed . I used to pray to Baba that when finally everything seemed to fall in place why is this happening and ask for His help. One day I was crying and asking Baba for help . I was routinely checking my email and one of my cousins had sent some photos . I opened her mail casually and to my surprise, the very first photo was of Baba's. I could not believe my eyes, it was as though Baba was blessing me through the photo. I remembered that ' LOOKING AT BABA'S PHOTO IS EQUAL TO TAKING HIS DARSHAN '.

The results of my test at the doctor have come back and everything is normal. Thank You Baba for everything.

Baba's Timely Help:

First of all Om Sai Ram and Happy Baba's Day To All. My experience is i was really in need of some cash for my son's jobs and was hunting the money asking all relatives and friends but not one could help me. So I surrendered myself to Babaji and told him to help me.

In the afternoon i checked my mail box and i received a cheques from the insurance company. This cheque was supposed to come only on 10th October 2011, but it came earlier than expected.

So this shows that Babaji always listen to all our problems no matter where we are. I am very happy for this and thank babaji for showing and solving this problem for me.

Thank U Babaji .
Om Sai Ram

Do Not Break Promises and Vows to Sai Baba-Experience of Shirish.

noreply@blogger.com (Manisha.Rautela.Bisht) — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 12:20:00 +0000

Dear all,
Wish you a very Happy Navratri and Baba's day .
Every time we read a Sai experience we learn a little more about Baba and His relationship with His children .Irrespective of behaviour of child , child's mother always has unconditional,infinite and pure love for him .So is our mother Sai. Whatever be our action,thought or emotions,our mother is always loving to us.She is unbiased and indifferent to our doings.

Below is a Sai experience of Sai devotee Shirish who has been sharing his experience from time to time in this website. He is sharing all his experience so that whatever he has learnt can also be amrit gyan(nector of knowledge) for others sailing in the same boat .

The emphasis is given on vow to Baba,importance of Sai Satcharitra and following the teaching of Sai Baba in our day to day life.

Before readers go ahead with experience I would like to tell them that there are many many incidences in various books and in Sai Satcharitra where Baba not only reminded devotees about their vow/promises but also took them to their tasks who forgot or did nor carry it . I am giving few links below of such articles.
Violation of vow to Baba.
Sai paved way for us to step in Dwarakamayi.
Sai leela -Experience by Sai devotee Archana.
Tested and blessed-Experience by Sandhya.
Sai Baba's Assurance-Experience Of A Sai Devotee.

There are chapters in Sai Satcharitra citing stories based on vows made to Baba.

It has been experienced by me that the path of the Satcharita is simple and most elightening . Wherever it is read, it becomes Dwarkamai and Sai definitely appears there.Sai Baba removes all difficulties, as soon as He is remembered. Believe that everything is inspired by Sai and hence read the Sai Satcharita without finding faults or applying too much logic.

Shri Sai is the support of His devotees. Without Him the impediments in our way are not destroyed,this can be read through the following experience.

Readers can write similar experience and share with all of us.
Jai Sai Ram

Sairam Manisha Didi,

I want to share my recent Saibaba’s blessing. Please post it as per your schedule. You can give title as per your wish and mention my name in post also.

Regards
Shirish

Dear All,
Sairam,

I want to tell all devotees before they start reading my experience,

1) Never ever break promise given to Saibaba under any circumstance. It’s like biggest sin adding to bad karmas. Saibaba feel bad for us, He will not punish us for breaking promise but we will suffer consequences of our karmas. But Saibaba will also ensure that we realize our mistake (This he will do in his own ways) and will save us in right time before life goes out of control.

2) Just listen and follow what Parents and Saibaba has said through Sai charitra or any other mode. That is wonderful and will bring peace and happiness.

3) Whenever we feel that we are getting disconnected or mind is heavy with stuff which we don’t want to do or have, that means we are away from Faith and Patience and we need to work on them.

I promised Saibaba that I will never drink Alcohol or will get involve in activities which disconnects us from path of Shradda and Saburi and our promise to Almighty.

First time I broke that promise: I suffered huge tension at my Job and was transferred to a location which I never liked and I quit my Job in a Span of 1 month.

Saibaba’s blessing: Though I was tensed, depressed after quitting that Job but Saibaba gave me a good job in a week’s period, I have posted this experience previously.And made me realise my mistake and also took care of me .

Second time I broke my promise: I suffered through Chicken pox and had tough time for few days.

Saibaba’s blessing: Saibaba again came to stop me from going into bad things and put a break in His ways.

Third time when I broke my promise: As I Said earlier under any circumstance never ever get away from Faith and Patience and teachings of Saibaba and moreover never break promise given to Saibaba.

Third time I did it again, thime time I added lot to my bad karma’s, I drank on Saibaba’s day (Thursday), and also ate non veg food on that day. This I did in my frustration on some life issues (Ego, anger, Frustration). I completely forgot Saibaba. I ignored all my promises made to Saibaba. Rather I should say I disrespected Saibaba.It was a selfish act .I scummed to the moment of weakness and did all the above which I had promised i will not do and failed.

Sufferings: As I said earlier breaking promise is like adding bad karmas and its biggest sin, and Saibaba always said that He always keeps his words and promises so same goes for us also,we expect Baba to do everything as is referred in Sai Satcharitra but when it comes to our commitment and promises we fall and fail. After 2-3 weeks of my getting involved in all bad activities, I started getting health problems and it went to a level when my mental unrest was extremely high. It was really bad time. I was under immense fear,did not know whats happening with me? Restlessly I kept on living each day in pain and anxiety .Trips to hospital and check up were making me more weak from within and this time I felt I have really hurt Baba.

Saibaba’s blessings: On Thursday when I went through all the medical tests, everything came out to be normal. I thanked Baba ,the gracious kind Baba inspite of my doings took care of me.But again fear was there as one test was remaining which I asked doctor to let me take. That test was on next day.

I literally cried in front of Saibaba with desperation and thought I have annoyed my deva and can't even look at Him asking for help .But He is kind and merciful who fill us with hope and love for Him and I surendered to Him my thoughts,fear and my actions. I was under immense fear about what will be test results. I holded on to my mighty powerful angel Shri Sai Satcharitra and started reading Sai charitra book before test.

Saibaba’s blessing came all the way and test results came to be normal. I was speechless. I was numb and did knew very well who did this miraculous thing in my life. In all this process I was very much mentally tired that I was not able to thank properly to Saibaba.So I decided to go to Sai temple.

Then I went to Saibaba temple to thank Saibaba.

Now I have made promise to Saibaba that I will never ever drink Alcohol and will never eat non veg. Will never involve in bad activities and will always consider and keep parents and Saibaba in mind for all my actions. I will always take care of my parents.

My learning from all above:

Saibaba always take care of us even though if we get away from him and he saves us from getting into big trouble.

We should always follow faith and patience path which Baba has given to all His children .

Why to fear why Saibaba is with us.

Never break promise given to Saibaba.

Never get involved in Bad activities.

Parents are like Saibaba for us, they care for us in same way as Saibaba does, so every thought and action should be monitored by thinking how Saibaba and our parents will feel about it. Then our karmas will go in right path.This will not only make us good human but a also a good son to our parents.

Sai charitra is living form of Saibaba, we need to read it to follow each and every word told by Saibaba.

Always keep Saibaba in your heart and mind.Surrender all your actions to Baba.

Mind will wander but again use yor heart to tell, that Saibaba is ours and want us to be happy and do good in life. This will bring Faith and patience and remove fear and other bad feelings.

I want to let all the devotees know the consequences of breaking the promise given to Baba and want each one to learn that Baba is our mother who is kind ,who will take care of us but will also be strict if we are not on right path and discipline us to be His worthy child.

I would like to know devotees view and would love to read similar incidences if any one has experienced/learnt Baba's lesson in the same way .

Koti koti pranam to Saibaba who looks after me and loves me .

Sai Son Shirish
