Devotees Experiences with Shirdi Sai Baba

They are my brother and sister-in-law says Shirdi Sai Baba

We all very well know that Shirdi Sai Baba meets each and every devotee who visits Shirdi. Even if He does not come to meet in bodily form, He plays <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SS1XexkGhvI/AAAAAAAADLs/kDZQeQd06J0/s1600-h/shirdi_sai_mandir_1024.jpg"><img alt="© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272966924933170930" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SS1XexkGhvI/AAAAAAAADLs/kDZQeQd06J0/s400/shirdi_sai_mandir_1024.jpg" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" /></a><a href="http://saiterehazaaronaam.blogspot.com/2008/10/sai-tere-hazaaron-naam-download-link-of_09.html"target=_blank>Leelas</a> with someone or to someone He comes in dream. The following is a recent <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/search/label/Experience%20of%20Devotees"target=_blank>experience</a> of my family friend to whom Baba came to met in person and even gave them whatever they wanted just few minutes before leaving for Shirdi. As said in an earlier post I had been to Shirdi to celebrate <a href="http://saiterehazaaronaam.blogspot.com/2008/11/my-brothers-voice-reaches-shirdi.html"target=_blank>Diwali</a> this year. One of our family friends (husband, wife, two kids and mother) were also called to celebrate Diwali in Shirdi. They went to Shirdi before two days of Diwali. At that time Shirdi was not crowded. They had blissful darshan for three long days. All the members in the family are true devotees of Sai Baba. They go to Shirdi almost every month. It is their practice take a garland from Samadhi Mandir and hang it on front side of their care before leaving Shirdi. It is a kind of prayer to Baba to take care in the way and also a request to Baba to come with them. This time they were to return on next day of Diwali. There was huge crowd for darshan since morning. They had planned to leave Shirdi at about 11:00 am. But before leaving they wanted garland from Samadhi mandir. There seemed no chance to go inside and if they went inside by chance they would be able to come out only till noon. So they were in fix. The husband was standing outside Samadhi Mandir asking Baba's permission to leave and apolising for not taking garland (rather say Baba) with them. Suddenly a security guard came from behind. He asked him "Do you wish to have Darshan ?" He said "yes". He even asked "Do you want garland?" He said "If you have one extra then you please give me. I have to leave for Baroda and want Sai Prasad." The security guard asked to follow him. In the meantime his wife also came from behind and they both entered Samadhi Mandir from side door along with that security guard. Another security guard tried to stop them, but he said "He majhe bhav ani vaini ahe" meaning they are my brother and sister-in-law. Following the security the guard they went ahead and Lo! they reached just in front of Baba's idol. They both folded their hands and had a peacefulful darshan of Baba inspite of heavy crowd. The couple was very happy at this Leela of Baba and thanked Him with their deep heart. The security made arrangement for a garland and few Udi packets for them. He stood in a corner quietly waiting for them to finish off and then handed over garland and Udi packets. He even offered to give more, but they denied saying they had collected sufficient Udi. Now security guard came out and went with them to bid good bye where their car was parked. In the way he told them that he lives in Shirdi since many years. They reached near the car wherein devotee's mother and kids were seated. The security guard said to devotee's mother "Your son and daughter-in-law are very kind". How could a person judge another person in just few minutes!!! Who will help devotees to have peaceful darshan in the crowd of Shirdi!!! It was rightly Leela of Baba or rather Baba Himself to take care of His devotees' needs and wishes before leaving Shirdi...Shri Sadguru Sainath Maharaj Ki Jai!!! <a href="http://s451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/hetalpatil/?action=view&current=myfavsai.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/hetalpatil/myfavsai.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/" target="'_blank"> © Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories </a>

Devotee Experience - Bonnie (Contd...)

We all had read how Sai sister Bonnie was attracted towards Shirdi Sai Baba in one of <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/2008/11/devotee-experience-bonnie.html"target=_blank>earlier posts</a>. I would request you all to read that <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/2008/11/devotee-experience-bonnie.html"target=_blank>post</a> first and proceed further it is continuated here. Ms. Patil This is my experience continued... Not long after Sai Baba restored that child hood memory and the Sai group begun I heard HIM ask "What do you want from Me?" I said everything I could w<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SSjs0Th9SDI/AAAAAAAADJ0/UGxoCujFYKY/s1600-h/SOLE-OBJECT-SHIRDI-SAI-BABA-1024.jpg"><img alt="© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271723747177220146" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SSjs0Th9SDI/AAAAAAAADJ0/UGxoCujFYKY/s400/SOLE-OBJECT-SHIRDI-SAI-BABA-1024.jpg" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" /></a>ant I have with You. Then I heard..."There is still something else you want." Like He was insisting that it be asked. In that moment in my heart's mind I thought..."Of course...I want my husband to be experiencing this relationship with You also". Within a very short time my husband had a series of experiences that were quite astonishing, in that it left him with the feeling that he had been silenced. He says, "Baba knocked the monkey out of my head and I have been Sai-lenced." He feels he is being taken care of and the worry monster is no longer the one in control. This quieted mind has made room for simple knowing that has improved his creative ability. Finds himself in flow. Not long after these Sailencing incidents and this new life emerging out of this his Mother passed away. It was simply her time and we both knew it and we felt Baba's presence with us throughout. We are both experiencing a love and a joy and peace of mind that we know is simply Baba's pure love and his touch. My husband had a full beard his whole adult life. So over the years his dermatologist would show unconcern for the skin that was under the beard. After Baba took such charge of his life there were many changes that occurred. My husband decided to shave his beard and there was discovered a rather nice size mole that both of us thought may be needed to be checked by the skin doctor. My husband's work schedule had been increasing and he would keep forgetting to make that call. Several weeks went by that way. Then on a Tuesday he got a call from the skin doctors office verifying his appointment for this Thursday, April 17th. He said he didn't make an appointment but has been meaning to make one. The conversation went that the office should check and make sure there is no other patient with his name who might have called and if not, he would like to keep the appointment. They called back and said it was definately for him. the lady at the appointment desk is just as amazed as my husband because she says there was definately a call made for him. My husband and I were just laughing because for us it has our dear Sai's signature all over it. Our Sai makes all the needed arrangements, He's showing this to us through this leela. Needless to say this leela has left an effect on us that is beyond words. It did not end here. My husband went for the appointment and the doctor took off that mole. He got a call several weeks later saying that there was melanonin cancer and that he needed to come in for surgery to have the roots removed as it could spread out without doing so. We followed through with this and my husband was told that it was caught just in time...that it was ready to reach a next stage that could cause more difficulties. I am constantly in awe and deeper in love with our dear Master. His words are like Gold to me and all else is like tinsel. Bonnie Om Sai Ram Bow to Shri Sai...Peace be to all. <a href="http://s451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/hetalpatil/?action=view&current=myfavsai.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/hetalpatil/myfavsai.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/" target="'_blank">© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories </a>

U must have all heard of all Babas miracles...here is another one which happened a year back...at Mayur Vihar, New delhi at one of the devotees house (one of my aunt's)where she offered a garland (phool mala)on Thursday to Baba like she used to offer on any other Thursday but in sometime to her surprise she noticed that Baba's garland was increasing in length. As the garland kept on increasing in length the flowers ahead kept drying themselves... The news spread like fire devotees from all across Delhi started pouring at her house, media came for coverage too... so for the ones who didnt know of it and were deprived of the darshan... I have attached a few pictures for you to have then pawan darshan of Baba's presence. In the attached pictures u can see the original length of the garland in first picture which kept increasing in length, as u see in the further pictures... Such are Baba's beautiful Leelas... somehow somewhere He shows us His presence... This reminds me of the beautiful bhajan of Baba, Mere Sai Ke Bhawan Pe Phoolan Di Varsha, Hoi Varsha Hoi Varsha Mere Sai Ke Bhawan Pe Phoolan Di Varsha... May Sai bless u all...

While waiting for the train to Dombivli, I was listening to a Sai Dhun on my mobile. Just as the train entered the station, I moved a little forward. All of a sudden someone snatched my mobile, jumped onto the tracks, and ran away. The sudden jold was tremendous and I fell on to the tracks. I saw death staring me in the face. As the headlights of the train came closer I could see the faces of all my family members. I prayed to Sai, "Now do what you wish!" Somehow, perhaps inspired by Sai, I turned to my left and squeezed myself into the tiny bundle. The motorman braked; but three bogies went over me before the train stopped. People on the platform screamed, "A lady has fallen under the train! She must be dead!! Her body must be in pieces!!!" But, when I crawled out from the space between the two wheels, the people let out a hurrah - "The lady is safe! She is alive!!" I was carrying a purse and a bag and was in a Salwar Kameez with a Dupatta; but there was not a scratch anywhere! Isn't this a miracle? All my life I shall never forget tha my Sai saved me and gave a new lease of life. <a href="http://s451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/hetalpatil/?action=view&current=myfavsai.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/hetalpatil/myfavsai.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/" target="'_blank">© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories </a>

Devotee Experience - Renu

Om Sai Ram, It is very known that Sai Baba takes care of each and every devotee who <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SSKPCjLCmWI/AAAAAAAADFc/dgoK1OZnzVg/s1600-h/shirdi_sai_baba_dream_experience2_1024.jpg"><img alt="© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269931787940960610" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SSKPCjLCmWI/AAAAAAAADFc/dgoK1OZnzVg/s400/shirdi_sai_baba_dream_experience2_1024.jpg" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" /></a>visits the Holy Land of Shirdi. Every devotee is given special treatment in the court of our beloved Baba. The below post also proves the same. Sai Devotee Family recently visited Shirdi and wants to share their experiences they had in Shirdi. The head of the family had lost his legs in an accident but Baba took every care to make all of them comfortable and made their trip as the most unforgettable one. Sai ram Friends Baba Sai should help me to give you all a complete account. Really I don’t know where to start, let me try, We started from Bangalore on the 5th Nov 2008. Our plan was to reach Mantralayam that evening, have Raghavendra Darshan, stay there & to start the next day early morning to shirdi, I tried through all possible means for a Hotel Booking in Mantralaya, but was not successful. When my sis Vasanthy called me up from Mumbai asking about our trip I told her clearly, looking at the Sai Murthy’s face in our Hall ‘See Vasanthy, we are not getting the rooms there. Because of Mohan’s problem, we cant just like that start, go there searching for rooms, Sai knows this completely well. He has clearly invited us to Shirdi through His answers & dreams, now let Him do this for us, let Him get us a Mutt room booked. I am no more breaking my head in this regard I said. See, it seems Shirdi is also very much crowded. They say generally January there is not much crowd. So if we do not get the room booked, we will be coming to Shirdi only in Jan'09. This is what I told her. May be within the next 2 or 3 hours, Mohan’s friend called up casually, helped us in getting a cottage (belongs to the Raghavendra Mutt) booked, he had also arranged for a special Darshan for all of us through the P.A. of the present Swamiji. Now our experiences/Sai Leelas: 1) We usually go to The Lord hanuman temple in Mahalakshmi Layout, very near our house, to get His blessings for a safe journey, whenever we travel. Same way this year too, we had stopped the car for His dharshan. When Mohan closed his eyes & stood before the Murthy, he could clearly see a wonderful Shiv ling, he was so excited. On our way, again & again we were coming across Shiv lings we thought may be this is the reason for Mohan’s vision. 2) Gopi Sir (who arranged for special darshan on recommendation by my Sai Devotee friend) told us that on his way to the Sai Mandir from his room, he was thinking like in this heavy crowd, will it be possible for him to arrange for the darshan. As he was thinking like this, suddenly he saw a paper on the ground with the photo of Radha Krishna Swami ji, a great devotee of Shirdi Sai who lived in Bangalore to spread Sai ism in the south. Sir said that in His unique way Sai has assured him that He knows about all his thoughts about us from Bangalore & that He would bless us today abundantly. 3) The security allowed me & Mohan from one gate & Charanya & Ashwini from another gate. They are sort of very delicate, not used to such big crowds, pushing, shouting, fighting etc. I was really worried. We had a very nice Dharshan & unusually no security pushed us out. Though they were shouting at all others, they would see us & smile. We could stand there for 25 minutes. Un believable in such a crowd. Gopi sir’s person only sent us in. Those people were different. That’s why we were surprised as to why they are not asking us to move out. I started searching for my daughters in the queue in the Samadhi mandir. I kept telling show me my kids Sai. You know they feel uncomfortable if some body touches/pushes them. Now show them to me Sai. Then I realized my mistake (again & again mentioning my kids, my kids) & told just once, I know you love the kids. They are after all your kids. If you know their problem, let me see them now. Just turned & saw Ashu & Charanya in the queue. They also came to the front & joined us both. The security called all the 4 of us near the Samadhi, we had a nice, peaceful dharshan. 4) We had been to Sivanesan Swami ji’s Ashram, there Kashyap ji, Mr.Kind he is, a very nice gentle man greeted us & took us to all the places explaining each & every thing in detail. Such a wonderful place it is, very very silent, full of divine vibrations, very ideal for meditation & prayers. 5) I had taken a vow to do 108 pradhakshinams in Gurusthan. I could complete only 54 pradhakshinams in Gurusthan the previous day. I some how felt like doing the rest here & I did. Later when Kashyap ji was telling me that Sivanesan Swmaiji was advising every one to do Pradhakshinams for all problems & that he himself would be doing pradhakshinams in Gurustahna daily, even during mid nights one could see him doing pradhakshinams. I was happy that I finished my vow in the right place. Let me tell you all 2 more experiences we had in Shirdi during this visit: 1) During our travel, we were singing Aarthi & other Sai bhajans & after that I wanted to recite Sree Sai Sthavana manjari, I could hardly finish 31 verses of it & we had to stop for Lunch, post lunch session also I couldn’t finish it since some discussions etc. were going on. I thought I would some how finish it in shirdi. In Sivanesan Swami ji’s Ashram, I started reading it, completed it fully, prayed for all, thanked Zarina Mam ji for her excellent work. I was really happy that I was able to sit in her own place & read it. Evening when we were talking to Gopi sir near the chavadi, Sir casually pointed out that it was Ekadasi that day. As we all know reading Stavana Manjari on Ekadasi day is really effective (as told by Das ganu himself). I was very happy & thanked Sai for this arrangement. 2) We have the habit of taking His permission before we could start from shirdi. This time too at 5.30 am me & Mohan went to Samadhi Mandir to take His permission. As we were standing in the queue, a security person came straight to a devotee standing in the queue & handed over a packet of sugar candy to him, that person said, don’t want, Lord Sai knows why. We couldn’t believe some one denying His Prasad in His Sannadhi. Immediately the security gave Mohan the Prasad. That devotee who denied it was looking real uncomfortable afterwards & kept looking at Mohan & the Prasad, I thought of offering him some from it, but was scared & didn’t give him anything. As we were nearing the Murthy, a priest offered a garland to Mohan, our joy knew no bounds. We took it as His blessings. Then after dharshan, we came out. A lady there pulled my hand & asked me to stop. Though I was scared that the security persons would shout at us, we both stood there near the door. Suddenly 4 persons came & removed the glass shutter from the Samadhi. (Previously, we were allowed to touch the Sai padhukas in the Samadhi, but now after the installation of the Golden throne they have completely covered it, we can not keep our head on the padhukas & touch the Samadhi as we used to do before. I was feeling very bad at this, I was again & again telling Sai, this throne has stopped us from touching your padhukas Sai, they have to some how allow us to touch it & get your blessings. I would immediately say any ways you are looking so nice sitting on this throne Sai, you are sai Maharaj for us & all. But inner most I longed to touch the padukas & keep my head on it.) That lady called us again asking us to touch the padhukas & take His blessings. We almost cried. We kept our head on the holy Padhukas, they have tied the pot of abhisheka theertham(warm weater) on the top of padhukas. The drops of Abhisheka theerth on our head, so close to sai, I could feel His warm wishes to us, we felt so satisfied. Thank you Sai maa. We simply love you. How He reads our inner most desires & fulfils them. He is just amazing. Thank you for your time & patience Love you all friends Bow to Sri Sai peace be to all! By Sai’s grace I would post more experiences later.

Devotee Experience - Bonnie

Presenting here another great <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/search/label/Experience%20of%20Devotees">experience</a> by devotee of Sai Baba Bonnie. Hello Hetal. Wanted to share how Baba came into this life. I heard in a dream "Sai Baba of Neem." when i woke up in the morning it was on the mind in strong way. i thought who is this Sai <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SRmWXvsxcfI/AAAAAAAADCM/oSxW9d1c4SM/s1600-h/sab-ka-malik-ek-shirdi-sai-baba-1024.jpg"><img alt="© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories " border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267406573871919602" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SRmWXvsxcfI/AAAAAAAADCM/oSxW9d1c4SM/s400/sab-ka-malik-ek-shirdi-sai-baba-1024.jpg" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" /></a>Baba of Neem and thought i wonder if it is Sai Baba with the big hair. then i realized i didn't really know what is meant by Neem and didn't really even know for sure how to spell it. So i went to the computer and googled it the way it sounded and articles about Shirdi Sai Baba came up. I started reading about this Sai Baba and quickly began to realize that i was relating to this man and his words and his life making so much sense and bringing such joy and happiness to me. i found myself going to the pages on the internet more and more and being strangely attracted to hearing about him and just looking at him. i would always google in each time and never had listed up with any of the websites or saved them to favorites. this dream connection was made in October 2005 and i would find myself casually going to see Baba and each time feeling like something more was happening than could put in words. then on New Years day of 2006 i was woken up with the computer playing a Baba Bhajan and his image was on the screne of my computer full screne. this felt important because i knew it was he who caused this as there was no other way for this to be happening....so i got up and went and just sat there looking at him and making a deep connection and asking HIM what he wants...as i was gazing at HIM i was given a childhood memory that was forgotten and brushed aside over the years. i remembered that i used to see HIM floating over the bed at night and when i told people about that they said it was my imagination ...so with time even i brushed it aside and forgot the fullness of HIS face. with this memory restored i felt that Baba has always been there and am just simply back with HIm. found myself in awe and also with peace....it was as if the relationship had become alive and awakened with him. he asked me to form a little group to read the Satcharita and without a moments hesitation i responded. had been reading on line only...so knew i needed to order the book called the Satcharita and get a few things to have for this little Sai group. i hadn't read the Satcharita from cover to cover only heard little referances and stories as gathered through the internet. so i order the book and started making a little flier to let people know about the group being formed and in the meantime i kept seeing in the minds eye an image of this red trishool. just thought it was awfully curious and would brush it aside. finally the pakcage from the Shirdi Sai Temple in Chicago came with the books and things ordered. When i took out the Satcharita i opened up to a page and began to read and there i was reading about Mega having a vision about a red Trishool and i found myself experiencing the thrill as if i were Mega himself as this corresponded to the very image i kept seeing ... our little Sai group quickly began to form and wonderful miracles have been happening all around. One lady i invited to join with our group was being cordial as i extended the invitation and said i don't know...but in her heart she fully expected that this was not to be for her. then about 20 or 30 minutes after she left ...i got a call saying she will be attending. she was all excited and said that while she was going into her next appointment she saw a truck that had a sign reading "Sai Supplies." This was interesting and curious....just noted. then when she left that same truck once again pulled in front of her that read, "Sai Supplies." this is a truck that she has never seen before or since. There have been many little miracles around the group and many personal ones that continue. very quickly Baba entered my life and stole my heart and no longer can i call it mine. it is all HIS. Heart..mind ...soul and possesions all belong to HIM....and as his words ring true...i find myself in peace. and happy just to call myself HIS. and at HOME with HIM.

Devotee Experience - Bonnie

Presenting here another great experience by devotee of Sai Baba Bonnie. Hello Hetal. Wanted to share how Baba came into this life. I heard ...

Devotee Experience - Anusuya

Great are the Leelas of Shirdi Sai Baba and even greater He is. There is no limit of His grace. The ocean of His love and care for His devotees never dry. As said earlier through the medium of this <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/" target="'_blank">blog</a>, I have tried to gather <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/search/label/Experience%20of%20Devotees" target="'_blank">devotees experiences</a>. At first I was reluctant as I thought who would share their experiences and how the <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/search/label/Experience%20of%20Devotees" target="'_blank">blog</a> would move forward. But with Baba's grace and blessings, many devotees are dropping in lines. It is rightly said that "Knowledge if not shared, is of no use", in the same way if such experiences are not shared with the world, they are also of no use. I hope you all agree with me and looking forward for such experiences from you too. Actually this post was an unexpected one. I sat down to translate an incident from <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/search/label/Translated%20Articles%20from%20Sai%20Sarovar" target="'_blank">Sai Sarovar</a> yesterday afternoon. At the same time I got this mail of Anusuyaji, who wished to share her experience. So taking it an order of Baba I am posting her experience in this post. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SRbfLswKynI/AAAAAAAAC-k/E7Kn3PGE5sM/s1600-h/shirdi_sai_baba_sand_wp1024.jpg"><img alt="© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266642206341122674" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SRbfLswKynI/AAAAAAAAC-k/E7Kn3PGE5sM/s400/shirdi_sai_baba_sand_wp1024.jpg" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px"></a> OM SAI RAM hi I wish to share my first miraculous experience with SAI BABA to every other SAI devotee through this <a href="http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/experienceswithshirdisaibaba/"target=_blank>group</a>... Can U pls post this in Ur message content...(If Baba wishes) Initially I have not heard anything about SHIRDI SAI BABA...and I do not know any of BABA's devotees till that time in my life... My sister once had the chance of going to Pune with her husband and somebody in Pune ( my uncle's collegues ) told them to visit Shirdi which is nearby Pune. It seems they also told that one could not visit Shirdi easily as they wish...as Everyone know we can visit Shirdi and see Sai ONLY IF SAI WISHES TO SEE US WE CAN GO TO SHIRDI AND SEE SAI... But with SaiBaba's grace they had a chance of visiting Shirdi. From there they bought Sai's idol for some of the close relatives... They bought one for me too.. Initially Since I do not know anything about BABA I just had the idol in Home's Hall Showcase.. For about 2 months BABA's idol was there only... then one day my dad thought of changing the house we were residing...I went to the new house we were about to go... Myself,my sister ,my sister's husband....no one is interested to go that house...since it would not be convenient in many ways... but my dad was very stubborn in his decision to go to that house... even without my concern he decided it...my mom is also no more... So I was not able to tolerate and not able to convince my dad to change his decision... Even though Everyone in my family is against going to that house... my dad brought some people to change house one day in my absence... and he shifted some of the things to that new house...my dad is such a person that once if he decide that something it is decided for ever...he will never change his opinion or decision... In that my sister just saw BABA's idol and she told him that she is not interested in changing house..In fact she didn't pray to BABA wholeheartedly..... But to all of our surprise that day evening ( within 3 hrs ) itself our dad told both of us that he will bring back all the things tat he took to the new house... It was very surprising for me to see that my dad has changed his decision....Actually he did not accepted to all of our wish when we all told him...I was really wonderstruck...then my sister told me that it was all possible only bcoz of BABA...when she was telling this to me I felt goose pimples in my hands...then I kept BABA idol in my pooja place and from that day I started believing Baba and felt many changes mentally......Many spiritual thoughts started in me spontaneously.......I m experiencing many such miracles but here I have shared only my first experience... OM SAI RAM I need to feel your presence around me every second of my life BABA .....BABA please show me the right path to attain this.... <a href="http://s451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/hetalpatil/?action=view&current=myfavsai.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/hetalpatil/myfavsai.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/" target="'_blank">© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories </a>

Devotee Experience - Deepa

I received mail from Sai Devotee Deepa who wants to share her recent heart throbbing <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/search/label/Experience%20of%20Devotees"target="'_blank">experience</a> with Shirdi Sai Baba. I was dumb founded when I read the whole experience. I can only say that Shirdi Sai Baba's way to <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/2008/06/shirdi-sai-baba-awakens-sleeping-souls.html"target="'_blank">awaken sleeping souls</a> is quite unique. He is the greatest Healer, Saviour of All. I just stop my hands now and copy paste the mail and attachment which I received. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sai Ram Hetal Patil - I have had a recent experience of Sai Leela that I was wondering, if you could post on your blog so that I can share it with other devotees. I am attaching a word document where I have written about my experience and thoughts. Please let me know if you think this can be posted and shared with other devotees. May Baba bless you, Deepa Agar Baba Nahi Aatey Toh Mai Kabhi Bhi Theek nahi ho paati (Had Baba not come himself, I would have never been cured and lived my whole life in dismay) Dear Baba Ji’s Devotees, I cannot describe in words what I experienced myself. As I mentioned in the opening lines above, Had Baba not come himself I would have never been cured of what I was going through. Since beginning of year 2008, I started suffering from anxiety attacks, extreme restlessness of mind and depression. People who have gone through depression and other psychological issues would understand what I am referring to as it’s not easy to come out of them since your mind is not in your own control. I tried going to a counselor, tried meditation for short period of time, chanting, medication for <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SRQo540-32I/AAAAAAAAC9c/knz86cqVK3g/s1600-h/shirdi_pia_present_20thjan2008.jpg"><img alt="© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265878839275216738" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SRQo540-32I/AAAAAAAAC9c/knz86cqVK3g/s400/shirdi_pia_present_20thjan2008.jpg" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" /></a>anxiety but still it would only help me for a very short period of time. Nothing, Nothing, Nothing was completely helping me. My parents and friends were worried as I was getting weaker. I live away from my family (they are in India) in a foreign land with my older sister who is a firm devotee of Baba. One day I was in a pretty bad shape and was totally sunk in the mouth on anxiety and depression. My sister reads Sai Satcharitra everyday and keeps a small photo of Baba in it as a bookmark. That day she again prayed to Baba for me and she was sitting on the sofa when Sai Satcharitra fell off to the floor from the sofa. She was really scared as she took it as a bad omen that something bad will happen as this has not happened before. Amidst all this confusion, she forgot to open and read the page which had opened up itself when Sai Satcharitra had fallen on the floor. It seems Baba had something planned already! We have a photo of Baba Ji in every room. In my bedroom, I have a photo of Baba hanging on the wall behind my bed which is exactly above the center of my bed. I always sleep on the left side of the bed but that night somehow without realizing I slept on the center of the bed right below Baba’s photo (all HIS plan!). I dreamt about death of a lady in someone’s house and they were doing rituals for the lady who had passed away. While still in my dream, I heard a very scary and wicked laugh that terribly scared me. Just then still in the dream listening to that scary laugh, I started getting up slowly as I felt as if someone came and touched me physically (I don’t know how to describe that experience) and just then my eyes opened and I saw an orange colored wave swirl above me for a flash of seconds. It’s hard for me to remember everything as it all happened within flash of seconds and my eyes had just opened up. I have never been so scared in my life before. The first thought that came to my scared mind was may be some evil spirit trying to touch me or possess me. Just then the next moment, I thought of Baba and thought how anything evil could come in my room when I have Baba’s photo and I was lying right under it. I was still very scared, sweating and shaking and called my sister who got equally scared and took me to her room. I lied on her bed, shivering and sweating. I was chanting Baba’s name in my heart to protect me. Another thought came to me, that if it was something evil, how could I still be chanting Baba’s name in my heart? I told my sister about it and she said that orange is Baba’s color it cannot be something evil that woke you. I then fell asleep in her room and had another dream in which I saw Hanuman Ji and somehow my heart said that I should chant Hanuman Chalisa. When I woke up the next time, I felt no fear at all, I got up, went to the small temple we have in our home, touched Baba Ji’s idol with my hands. Somehow, my mind was very peaceful. Next day my sister called me and told that the one who touched you last night in the sleep was NO other than Baba HIMSELF! I asked her how and she said that she read the page that had opened up by last night when Sai Satcharitra had fallen from the sofa. It was first page of Chapter 6 that talks about “Efficacy of the Touch of Guru’s Hand.” This clearly means that Baba first scared me in my dream and then woke me up so that with the fright he would take away all my anxiety and depression. The death that I saw in my dream most likely meant death of my anxiety, depression and restlessness. That’s how Baba used to cure his devotees by first making them suffer in the dreams and then curing them and taking their suffering away. I could not believe it!! I still get tears in my eyes and choke whenever I think of it. Mere DEVA, Mere MALIK, I am such a diminutive devotee who was suffering and you yourself came all the way to cure me…you came to my small home and touched my unclean skin with your holy touch (I had not even taken shower that day due to state of depression). You came to me and I could not even recognize you (how foolish could I be!!) don’t know what words to say… Had Baba not come himself and cured me, I would have never been able to get out of that mental suffering and suffered my entire life with depression. I feel my sins have been washed away and my suffering would now end. Since that day, my condition has begun to improve gradually by its own self without any medication or therapy my mind became more stable and at peace. I try to chant Hanuman Chalisa in the morning and also try to take a pinch of Baba’s Vibhuti (Udi) with water as medicine as I think that would cure me permanently. I would humbly request all Sai Baba devotees to kindly share this with other devotees who may be suffering from mental ailments to take Udi with water everyday and pray to Baba so that he cures all of them and may their sufferings end soon by his divine aura. We may forget about Baba but HE never forgets about us... <a href="http://s451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/hetalpatil/?action=view&current=myfavsai.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i451.photobucket.com/albums/qq235/hetalpatil/myfavsai.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/" target="'_blank">© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories </a>

Devotee Experience - Pinky

Day by day devotees of <a target="'_blank" href="http://shirdisaibababhajan.blogspot.com/">Shirdi Sai Baba</a> are increasing. There faith in increasing due to His <a target="'_blank" href="http://saiterehazaaronaam.blogspot.com/2008/11/my-brothers-voice-reaches-shirdi.html">Leela's</a> in this age of science and technology. After reading the <a target="'_blank" href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/search/label/Experience%20of%20Devotees">experiences of devotees</a>, be it from <a target="'_blank" href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/search/label/Experiences%20from%20Sai%20Leela%20Magazine">Sai Leela Magazine</a> or which devotees mail me, I feel that Baba makes all of us feel His presence. It shows that He is with us as before. I am reminded of Baba's relation of 72 generations with <a href="http://experienceswithshirdisaibaba.blogspot.com/search/label/Shama%20%28Madavrao%20Despande%29"target="'_blank">Shama</a>. I strongly feel that we all also have <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SRHYR2tmD2I/AAAAAAAAC40/F4ZSRowpU9k/s1600-h/shirdi_sai_darshan2_wp1024.jpg"><img alt="© Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265227240628948834" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_D7WJge6Rb1A/SRHYR2tmD2I/AAAAAAAAC40/F4ZSRowpU9k/s400/shirdi_sai_darshan2_wp1024.jpg" style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /></a>some relation with Baba and that's why we stand united in some or the other way. Here is post another small yet heart trobbing incident sent by Sai Devotee Pinky. Hetal ji I'm writing my experience of BABA's leelas for the first time. Kindly pass it on to all the SAI bhakts. This is the first time I'm writing my experiences of BABA's leelas. Earlier I didn't believe in Sainath, infact I wasn't aware of BABA but through one of my Saibhakt friend I came to know of BABA. I always thought that whatever happens in our lives is due to our fate but this thinking of mine is completely changed now. I have a firm belief, now, that whatever happens with us is all BABA's wish. We may think that whatever we are going through is bad or even the worst we can go through but we forget that everything is being obseverd by HIM, HE is the almighty and SAI is always looking at us. HE ensures our happiness and wellness by taking pain himself. I had been experiencing SAI blessings with me every now and then. BABA has saved my life a lot of times. I'm alive today just because of BABA. Let me share one of my experiences with all the SAI bhaktas. Once we went to Nainital for an official trip. We were in a Tavera car and while coming back from there, the road was very slippery due to rain and it was around 12:30am at night, there was complete darkness on the road, also the road was in a very bad shape, we were 9 people in the Tavera and all of us were half asleep and suddenly the driver somehow lost balance and the Tavera was about to turn completely, and if it had happened we would have definitely suffered a severe accident. But BABA was there with us and the Tavera just tilted a bit and stopped there only. One by one, all 9 of us came out of the Tavera with the help of other passengers on that road. That day BABA saved my life as well as the life of my friends also. I pray to BABA deep from the bottom of my heart. HE is our saver, our MOTHER. That time I didn't realise that we were saved by BABA but now I have understood BABA's love and care for us. Now I have firm faith in HIM. I have slowly realised BABA's leelas. May BABA bless everyone always.

The operation was almost a failure, he give me assurity of only 30% success. After the operation which was a success the broken bone will set up in 3 months time. That three months i was in bed only. It is very very difficult at the age of 28. After one month, i went to doctor for check up. He told your bone is not set, and we returned home. Then i read Saibaba History Book and i took little Vibhuti and i placed on my leg. I truly prayed to Baba, next time i went to check up and doctors took the x-ray. It was wonder !!! Doctor was surprised, he took up one more operation. This is the first success story. He told me you are very very lucky. See we trust Baba He will save us ever and ever. After 3 months i started to walk and doctor gave me chapalls and said, dont remove them if you remove then support screws will break, from that day onwards i wore that chapalls. Last month in September i went to Shirdi and asked PRO office to allow me to go with chappals. They simply refused, and we called doctor he told if you will remove chappals, u will be ablte walk only a little distance. Then i came to temple and i removed chappals. I went to Baba's Samadhi. I had no pain nothing. Really Baba saved me. It is very wonder of my life. I trust baba. Trust Baba He will save.
