Sai brother Sudheer ji says:

Think And Sai Baba Is Here

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

Thanks & Regards,

Sudheer Kumar Pisay.

Sai brother Ravi says:

Sai Saved Me From Embarrassment

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

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

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

An unknown devotee of Baba named Sai Bhaktan says:

Sai Helped Us Marry

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

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

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

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

My First Experiences With Shirdi Sai Baba - Sai Devotee Anuradha

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

---

Anuradha ji says: Om Sai Ram.

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

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

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

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

I Need Answers From Sai Baba Devotees - Unknown Sai Devotee

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

---

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

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

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

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

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

Sai Ram...

My First Birthday gift Sai Baba Himself - Sai Devotee Pooja

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

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

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

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

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

Love You BABA...ALWAYS.

Om Sai Ram!!!!!!!

A Couple Of Sai Baba Experiences - Part 2

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

---

Sai sister Divya ji says:

Sai has helped me in tough times

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks once again
Jai Sairam

Sai sister Anuradha ji says:

Sai is God, the Ultimate

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

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

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

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

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

Sai sister Dipali ji says:

THANK U SAI

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

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

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

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

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

A Couple Of Sai Baba Experiences - Part 1

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

---

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

---

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

With best wishes to all,
Sai devotee.
