Sharing with you all experience of Sai sister Ria ji.

==================================

Dear Hetalji,

Thank you for hosting such a beautiful site. I always feel I am blessed when I come to this site.

Thank you, Baba! for everything.

From past few years my husband and myself were facing great difficulty in everything, from business, to having trouble with clients, employees and friends, to having a child. I use to pray to Baba to make everything alright. But nothing good was happening, we felt everybody was turning against us. We did not know what to do, we contacted a priest that looked at our horoscope and said the next few years are going to be even more hard. I had no one else to share my difficulties with but Baba, I cried and cried in front of Baba to help us out.

In the midst of all I suddenly became pregnant. I could not believe it. Not only did Baba bless me with being pregnant, Baba also fulfilled my wish to have a baby boy. Today, I had my ultra sound where the doctor confirmed that the baby is doing well. I cannot thank you enough for this baba. I pray that I have a safe delivery.

I used to go to temple and I prayed to Baba to show me that He is with me, give me some hint or signal. Baba was always dressed beautifully wearing blue shawl. Since I live in US, I was unable to go every Thursday, but whenever I went to mandir, I always saw Baba dressed beautifully in blue shawl. Today is Thursday, Baba's day and I am watching live darshan of Baba from Samadhi mandir and Baba is wearing beautiful yellow & blue
shawl. Baba is with us always. I am sure slowly slowly all our difficulties will end. Baba will bless us and improve our business also. Thank you Baba, keep us at Your feet always. Always be with us shower Your blessings on us.

Bolo Sai Nath Mahraj Ki Jai!
Hari Om Sai!

A lady devotee of Sai Baba has sent me her experience to be posted on blog, but she wishes to be anonymous. So respecting her feelings, i am not sharing her name and email id.

======================================================

I will relate how Sai Baba helped my husband and made him disease free. One evening my husband complained of eye problem. We thought that might be some dust particle has entered his eye and it will be normal after few days.

Some days later he reached eye clinic and got his eyes checked. Doctors informed him that its a emergency case and may be caused by some bacterial infection. It can be TB. We got scared as we have never heard of this disease in our home. Moreover it was infectious so it was troubling as more as we have a little toddler at home.

We prayed to Sai to make things correct. But the first test was positive. It made us uneasy and fear started overcoming the faith on Sai Baba.

We prayed to Him lot. Next confirmatory report was to come on Thursday.

Early in the morning ,my husband prayed to Sai baba and reached hospital to get the final report.
I was chanting "Om sai Rama!!!" and praying for the well being of my husband. When I called him to enquire about the reports, he told me that report is negative, but he has to take the medicine for the eye treatment.

We thank Sai Baba for His grace and blessings on our Family.

We bow on His Lotus Feet.

Om Sai Rama!!

Below is experience of Sai brother Mohanji.

==================================

Dear Hetal,

If you find this worthy, please post it on your blog. Sai Ram.

Last year, in July, I had an unusual problem when the Chinese Doctors told me that my brain has shrunk. The Docs were astonished to learn this as I am too young to have this situation. According to them, it was a rarest of the rare case and could not happen to a 31 year old, under any circumstances.

They even said that I could be losing my intelligence and won't be able to recognise anyone. In late January 09, it was confirmed by the doctors in India as well. Here I have to tell you that I only took Chinese medicines for 4 weeks. It was with immense apprehension that I took those pills as I was not sure what was given to me by the Chinese folks.

I was devastated and checked with some other quality Docs/hospitals, but they confirmed the same. The medical system in China is poor for us, foreigners, as there is a huge language barrier. Sai Baba was my only light and I kept chanting His name and reading SSC till January 2009. I had faith that He would perform a miracle and He did.

On 1st February 2009, last month, I was going to board the train to
Shirdi. On the same day, I went for MRI scan in Delhi. While I was in Shirdi, somebody took the report to the Doctors in Delhi again and guess what happened?

There was no shrinkage in the brain and it had been reversed!!! Sai Baba Himself pulled me put of this dreadful situation. The MRI was NORMAL and perfectly fine.

So far, by His grace, I am living normally. I hope that He continues to look after me and all the devotees who are suffering.

Below is experience of Sai sister Jyotikaji.

=============================================

I am Jyoti. I am born and married in Kenya. For the last 5 years, we have migrated in Australia-Perth.

When we were in Kenya, my husband bought a shop in a new shopping center which was under construction. We have to book the shop beforehand so that you can get the right shop you want. While we got all the paperwork in hand my husband called someone to do furniture fitting in the shop. While the work was in process, a lady came to our shop and told the shopping center owner to make a small Sai temple where our shop was as she can see Sai at that place. The shopping centre owner said that he cannot built a temple as this place is already sold to us but he promised he will definitely find a place for the temple. The owner kept his promise and he built a small Sai temple outside the shopping centre.

Once we started our shop, a lady came and told my husband to keep a Sai photo in our shop. My husband told me to buy a Sai photo. I just bought from an ordinary shop and it is a simple photo but believe me so many people who come our shop ask that where did we get that photo from. It is just the blessing of Baba.

When we came to Australia, we had many problems as to settle down in a new country but Baba always helped us. He always show us the right path and support us in all the ways. Recently i got a very good Government job and my husband has a job where he is happy. Recently i did 9 Thursdays Vrat. I did for my son so that he gets a nice girl. On the 9th Thursday, I got a vision in my dream and saw Baba and i saw saying Baba, Baba and i woke up. My son has not yet found any girl yet but Baba's vision, proves to me that He is always with us and He will find the right girl for my son. I just have to be patient and obviously i have full faith in Baba. Baba forgive me if i have written something wrong.

Below is a memorable experience of Sai sister Deepaliji when she was in Shirdi.

=======================================

With Baba's blessings we were called to Shirdi. Two of my cousin and my husband were with me. After having the most divine darshan at the Samadhi mandir, we all waled towards Dwarkamai. Being Saturday, it was very crowded. I regularly write "Sai Jaap" books and always submit then at Baba's photo opposite to Dhuni. My cousins and my husband did not want to enter seeing crowd, but i was determined to go inside Dwarkamai temple for darshan.

The guard at the guard at the next to the exit gate let me in. Inside there was another guard who stopped me and told me to leave the books near Baba's photo near exit gate. I was very disappointed. Suddenly i dont know from where one gentleman came and opened steel barrier and said, "Madam you go inside and pray at Dhuni. I was so excited, i walked across like a queen and put books exactly where i always put them. I turned back to thank that gentleman but he had disappeared. Thanks Baba for everything precious You have given me.

I love You Baba.

Your daughter

This below experience is of Sai sister Laxmiji.

===================================

I have been a silent reader of your blog for the past 1 year. I visit your blog everyday first thing in the morning no matter where I am, I read through the blog every time I feel low or when I am going through though times, it really ensures Baba is with me all the time and He is just testing my patience as my guru (Sai) says Shraddha and Saburi. I have no words to appreciate your work, I would say you are modern Hemadripanth publishing Sai leelas. Please post my experience in your blog and feel free to make any changes. I am writing this experience only through Baba's grace.

I have been a Sai devotee since my school and after coming to US I gradually stopped praying even though I was doing casual fastings on Thursdays. This year had been very rough for me and my husband as we had to go through so many things to maintain our work status. We were waiting for my work approval beginning of this year just then when my husband (was fiancee) went out of the country on work purpose. He had issues in getting back in to US at the same time my work approval got denied. We were shattered did not know what to do, we both were in different countries. I started praying Sai to atleast get my husband out of the mess and also started reading Sai Satcharita. I had to leave the country, meanwhile by Sai's blessings my husband was able to get through the trouble he was having and he was back in US. I thanked Sai whole heartedly for fixing this one, on the other hand I had to leave the country we were not married at that time.I was so worried of how we were going to handle the situation, ultimately I left the country, but still did not lose hope. My husband came to India after 2 months after I left, so we could get married, even though it was hard for us to handle to many things I was thinking Sai has His own way of doing things, because we were planning for years to get married but things did not work out the way we wanted and so this was the time for us to get married so I can come back to US. We got married and I am back in US. I will share more experiences in the other post of how I survived after back in US with the help of SAI. Whatever I am today is solely due to Sai\\\'s grace. Thank you SAI. Please have patience and Sai will definitely listen to your prayers. Om sai Ram!

It is well known fact that Sai Baba takes utmost care to ward off difficulties of His devotees who go to Shirdi. Below is such an experience of Sai sister Kranthi.

==========================================

Om Sri Sairam

Hetal ji,

You are doing a great job through the blog by sharing the experiences of the devotees, distributing SaiSatcharita and all other work. I even received the SaiSatcharita and very thankful to you. With Baba's grace, I am sharing one of my experiences that I had in Dec 2007.

Baba please forgive me for posting this miracle very late. Thank you, for inspiring me to write it now.

In Nov 2007, my husband got the VISA to UK. We prayed to Baba, that after we get the VISA we will come to Shirdi to have His darshan. So after my husband got the VISA, we (me, my husband and our 2yrs old daughter) started for Shirdi on 5th Dec 2007 by flight from Bangalore to Pune. Our plan was to travel by flight to Pune, and from pune go to Kopargoan by train. The train would reach Kopargoan at 11:30 pm. We thought as it would be Thursday next day, we can find many people in Kopargoan railway station and should not be a problem going to Shirdi that late night.

We reached Pune around 5pm. We went to the Pune railway station to take the train to Kopargoan. We reached Kopargoan at 12 in the night. To our surprise, there was no one in the railway station, even no one got down at the station from the train. So it was all opposite of what we had thought. We came out from the station to take a cab/taxi to Shirdi. But again, there was no taxi outside the station. Now we started to worry, how to reach Shirdi safely. There were only few 7 seater auto/rickshaw. And all the drivers, came to us asking us to get into their auto. I was so worried as we couldnt find anyone else there other than the auto drivers.

As it was December, it was very very cool and I started worrying about my daughter and also about our safety of reaching to Shirdi. I didnt understand in which auto to go, and which driver to trust. Already I started crying within my heart, but didnt show up out, as my husband would get worried. We opted for the small autorickshaw initially, but all of a sudden we said yes to a 7 seater and the driver has taken our luggage to keep in the auto. To our surprise, the auto had full cover, to protect from the cold. Later we realized that it was the only one auto that had full cover. My husband felt happy about that. We three got into the auto, and as soon as the driver started the auto, his friend also came and sat along with the driver. This made me worried more, thinking what they might do to us on the way to Shirdi. My thoughts were wandering and was very afraid. My husband was cool, thinking Baba would safely take us to Shirdi. I hold my daughter tightly, and was praying to Baba and didnt talk a word to my husband as I was in full tension. I was sweating even in that cold weather. Though it is the highway, there were not many vehicles on the road. It was very dark and our only auto going on the road. I cant express, how bad I was feeling for coming so late night. I was all the time looking forward to see Shirdi while in the auto.

Once I saw that we reached Shirdi, then I took a long breath and felt very happy and thanked Baba in my heart. I can say that it was only Baba who took us in that covered auto to avoid the cool breeze and saw that we reached safely to Shirdi. I thank Baba from the bottom of my heart for taking care of us that anxious night.

On Thursday, we had a wonderful darshan of Baba. We stayed for 3 days in Shirdi and left the place with heavy heart, but also felt happy for having good time in Shirdi.

Once again sorry Baba, for the delay in sharing this miracle with everybody.

Baba Please Bless us all

Thank you
Kranthi

This is experience of Sai brother Subash ji

=========================================

Hi Hetalji, I stay in Hubli, Karnataka. I request you to put my experience in your blog. Thanks a lot for you wonderful service. May Baba bless you for all the service.

Om SaiRam!!!!!!!

With the blessing of SaiBaba I want to share the experience which I came across few days back. I was suffering from severe stomach pain. The pain was unbearable and the doctor diagnosed it as Peptic Ulcer. A small piece was removed from my stomach for biopsy. I was very scared because the biopsy is usually done to diagnose Cancer and Tumor and I would get the report after 8 days. I prayed to Sai Baba that the report should come as normal and negative.

Yesterday I got the report and everything is normal. With the blessings of Baba I am saved from danger. I had promised Baba that I will post my experience if He saves me from this danger.

To seek His blessings all we need to do is surrender all our problems in His lotus feet and keep patience and have faith. I am extremely thankful to Baba for saving my life.

I pray to Baba to bless us all.

Om Sai Ram

This below experience is of Sai brother Jitendraji

=================================

Jai sai Ram to all sai devotees.

I am a QA Engineer in a software company in Noida (Delhi).

I am a devotee of Shri Sai Baba from last many years and getting His blessings continuously in life.

Here i am sharing with one of many experiences with all Sai devotees to convey the message of Sai Baba of "Shraddha" and "Saburi".

As i am a software testing engineer in Noida, I was new in the job, during my testing and i missed one major issue in the application which was found by one of my co-worker during another round of testing. It was a big escape from my side. I was informed by my friend that my Team Lead was very angry with due this escape. It was night when i was intimated. I was very nervous and tensed as it was new the job. I prayed to my "Baba" to help me out.

Next morning i reached in the office with a very heavy head but was sure Baba will help me out from this precarious situation. His showers of blessing came to me surprisingly as it was reported by client side that it was not escape bug, it was as intended they were looking for. Really it was a very big surprise to me and all my team mates. But it was Baba's miracle who saved me from a big problem.

I convey my thanks to Baba and pray to be with me always in my life.

I want to say all Sai devotees that do not let down yourself when time is running against with you. Just have faith in Him, He will help you surely. Pray Him every day with full devotion and do good "karmas" in life. He will be with you always.

Jai Sai Ram

Following is experience of Sai sister Seeth ji.

========================================

I met Rahul in 2003 at my first job in Bangalore. We were seeing each other for 3 years. I had not told my parents about him as he is from a different community and I feared that they might not agree for our marriage.

My parents started looking for boy from my community to get me married, I told them about Rahul. As expected they did not agree. They threatened to disown me if I didn’t leave Rahul and get married to a boy from our community. This went on for a year. In the mean time I had a chance to visit Pune on work with one of my colleague who was a staunch devotee of Saibaba. When I told her about my problem she told me to visit Shirdi and pray to Baba. Since Shirdi was close by to Pune we went to Shirdi on May 7th 2005. I prayed to Baba whole heartedly that I should get married to Rahul with my parents’ blessings within the next one year. Surprisingly all of a sudden my parents agreed to this marriage and we got married on May 7th 2006, the same day I had visited Shirdi.

On my wedding day I just hoped that Baba came to our wedding in some form and bless us, but I couldn’t see Baba on that day! The next day we were opening our wedding gift and one of my friends had given me a huge idol of Baba. In this form Baba had attended our wedding.

Following are series of experiences of Sai sister Priya ji.

=================================

I am Priya living in Maryland, US with my son Sai Siddhish and my husband Chandru. We are mad/crazy about sadguru & happy to be like that. We have a great love, faith and devotion for Saibaba. I dont know how to put in words exactly to express my feelings and to tell about us. We go as per His sayings. We strongly believe that in each and every single move, Baba is there with us and our entire family that we understood very well from many instances. We have completely surrendered to Sadguru at His feet. You will not believe Baba some or the other way communicates things to us, its in fact a miracle.

Miracle#1

a) My Brother was struggling to get admission for MS in US. We thought at one stage that we may not get admission this year as he was having 1010/1600 score. Thought of writing exam to raise the score and apply in 2010 and surprising one day that too on Thursday on Baba's day we got admission confirmation.

b) With his low score you can never believe one more thing, he got scholarship due to which he got some stipend and tution fees was reduced. We & My parents was overwhelmed.

c) As per information and instruction from University he booked his tickets to join the college. All of sudden just 5 to 6 days before his travel he called and checked about orientation. You will not believe they informed orientation schedule was changed. So he advanced his ticket and reached there. If he had not reached for orientation he could have not attended fall semester has to wait till spring.

Miracle#2

My husband had problem with his hand,he was facing some terrible pain, we applied our Sadguru's Udi and in seconds pain was gone.

Miracle#3

Same way my 15 months old son was having stomach pain by midnight in between sleep, when i applied His Udi over his stomach he slept in seconds time.

Miracle#4

Myself had a great problem. Urinary infection due to which blood was coming. I had Jeera (cumin) water and many treatments as told by elders. But i took Udi and put in water and drank it i was okay in half a day.


Miracle#5

You know the current economy. My husband's project contract was about to expire and we were looking outside for projects. Very soon with Baba's blessings and grace we got a very good one. We don't have words coming to explain our state.

Miracle#6

Whenever we used to go to temple we get yellow flowers for Baba. That day we did not get yellow flowers and got only pink flowers. Then we visited temple and kept flowers for Baba. We did not realize and later after prathana noticed that Baba was wearing a pink dress and flowers was matching His dress. I just started tearing.


Miracle#7

I have heard Baba likes Brinjal and so i started doing some dishes with brinjal every Thursday. Yesterday when it was prepared brinjal curry, brinjal quality was not so great nor the taste. When we started eating it was bitter. We just said Baba and continued eating, it tasted sweet. We can't believe and have no words nor sayings.

We cant believe with our own eyes. He is raising up our family gradually, slowly & steadily. It all happened because of our strong belief in Saibaba & patience.

Following is experience of Sai sister Arti ji which i received few minutes back.

==============================

Hi Hetal,

Can you please post this experience of mine with the picture attached. Although, I wanted to send this in morning so that it reaches to the devotees today itself on Baba's day but I am little late.

I want to share one of my experiences I had when I was in Shirdi. A week before when we were supposed to leave Shirdi. I had downloaded a beautiful wallpaper which was all in golden. I mean it had a golden temple of Samadhi Mandir, Sai is wearing a golden dress sitting in His golden throne with awesome flower decoration on both sides. When I was shopping in Shirdi I thought of buying that same picture. After searching few shops I could find exactly the same picture in a silver frame. Silver frame was not appealing as the picture had all gold tone and silver was a kind of mismatch so I asked the shopkeeper if he had that same picture in a different color frame preferably golden. He searched and gave me a dark brown frame which was also not the best choice but of course better than Silver. Although I wanted to buy that picture in Golden frame and asked him that if by any chance he has it in golden color. To this he said that it is available in two frames only (i.e silver & dark brown). Though I am little choosy in picking things but I knew that it is very difficult to get exactly what one longs for. So I finally decided to buy it in dark brown frame. When I was paying for the same my cousin came from behind and expressed her desire to buy the same picture. We asked the shopkeeper to give us two pictures both in Dark brown frame. He only had one picture in dark brown frame left with him which my cousin bought. I told her that I will buy something else (with a heavy heart of course!!!)

Though I was feeling bad that after lot of discussions on the frames and wasting lot of time I could not buy what I had thought of but I was OK with it. The shopkeeper was a kind fellow and he was feeling bad for me. Probably he had sensed that I wanted this picture badly as I didn’t care to look at so many other pictures he had in his shop. Just when we were about to leave the shop, the shopkeeper told us to wait, called another guy who was outside (the guy came from outside and the discussion about the frames was not known to him) and told him to quickly go and check in the stores if the same picture is available and told him to bring it if its available in Dark brown frame. That guy came after few minutes and said “Vo picture dark brown frame mein toh nahi mili, Golden frame mein mili hai..yeh leni hai toh bolo”(Couldn’t find that picture in Dark brown frame, its available in Golden frame, tell me if you want this one) The shopkeeper smiled at me and said “Baba toh aapke saath hi rehta hai, sunta hai jo kehtae ho” (Baba is with you only and listens to what you say”). I was wonder struck and had goose bumps.

Experiences like this reminds me of one of His assurances “Ask and it shall be granted”. The unique way of showing His presence and taking care of even the minor wishes (picture in exactly the same golden frame as I had thought of) of His devotees leave us spell-bound.

Below is experience of Sai sister Meenu ji.

====================================

Hi Hetal

First of all i want to thank you for such a wonderful job of sharing experiences of our Saibaba because it gives us stregth and feeling of Baba's presence.

I want to share the latest experience and with this I want to thank SaiBaba for being with us and for listening to our prayers.

My Dad works with CCI-Cotton Corporation Of India. They had elections for the north zone for the post of President. My dad was working very hard and he even did not come home as he was so busy in elections. And for the last 25yrs its the same person who wins. It was for the first time in CCI that the elections for this post held.

We all were praying for dad. On sunday 07-09-09 the result was to declared. I went to Sai Baba's mandir in Gurgaon to pray for papa. I offered a mala (flower garland) and coconut to Baba. I wanted to put that mala to Baba's statue but panditji (priest) did not allow me and said you can put it to Baba's paduka. I did the same thing. But while praying i said, "Babaji i wanted to put it to Your statue but please except it and to my surprise when i opened my eyes another panditji outside the temple gave me mala and coconut very similar to the one i offered to Baba's paduka inside. Thus i felt my papa will definately win because Baba has excepted my mala. And today when i have heard of the results i am very thankful to SAINATH for listening to my prayer. Baba is always with us.

Here is the experience of Sai sister who wishes to be anonymous.

---

Hi Hetalji, I stay in USA. I really request you to put my experience in your blog. Thanks a lot for you wonderful service. May Baba bless you for all the service.

Om SaiRam!!!!!!!

With the blessing of Saibaba I am posting my experience in your blog. With the grace of Saibaba my husband got job couple of weeks ago. My husband was laid off from a company due to recession in USA and again with blessing of Saibaba he got a call from same company.

He was hired for a contract position. He worked for 8 months as contractor and as the layoff was still going on in the company and they decided to move IT (information technology) development to India, his contract was also ended.

We bought home like 2 years and 8 months back in US and we had to pay the mortgage and luckily I had my job to pay for the expenses. As my husband’s contract was ended and has to stay at home, he was very much tensed staying at home as he was working from 10 years for the company from which he was laid off. He had very tough time staying at home even though I had my job as back up to pay off for the expenses. I was praying Saibaba to get him a job.

During his first 2 weeks he did not get any interview calls and lost his hope of getting job at that time as the economy was bad in US. Many companies were laying off in the place where we were staying. But during 3rd week he got an interview call from a company for a contract to hire position. He was interviewed and the recruiter who got this position for that company gave us a call and told that he was in the top 2 position in the candidates they interviewed and he was a potential candidate to select. But we still did not hear anything from the company and got another call from the same company for a full time position. He was interviewed for that position also. We did not hear anything from the company for almost 2 – 3weeks after the interviews and we were losing hope of getting job in the place where we were staying. But I still did not lose any hopes on my Saibaba and had strong belief that he will definitely help us.

Luckily in the 5th week, he got a call from one of the company where one of our family friends forwarded my husband’s resume to the company. He was interviewed and on the same day they told their decision and gave the hiring date for a contract position for 6 months. We were so happy but still waiting to hear from the other company as that positions were kind of full time positions and that company was big name company. He had another two interviews after he got the position for 6 months. I was praying for Saibaba, to decide whichever is the best job for my husband just give us that job. After that he had to join the job that he got for 6 months contract. And look what had happened he got another two jobs after 2 days he joined for 6 months contract. I was thinking if he had to wait for another 2 days then he could have got that positions and they were one is full time position and another is contract to hire position(where it can go for full time), but at the same time I was thinking Saibaba can give better judgment and the job he joined was his judgment. After couple of weeks we heard through some of our friends that the other two jobs he got, in which one job the project was postponed as the funds were not still allotted for that position and the other job the position was kept on hold and still some of the employees were also laid off from that company and it was good decision to join for contract position. See Saibaba’s grace will be always there to help his children. Thank you so much Baba for helping to get us job through one of our friend. I really thank to that friend also. You are always there with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Forgive me Baba if I have written anything wrong.

Presenting herewith experience of Sai sister Sangeetha.

===============================

My experience with Shirdi Baba began nearly 13 years ago, but I feel ashamed to tell now, that I failed to realize His Power. Shirdi Baba knocked again 3 years later, and finally am married into a family where there is immense faith in Sai Baba. Big pictures of Sai Baba adorn all the walls. But again, I failed to realize the power of Dear Baba and His Power and Grace. Baba covered me with a cloth of blessings, once when i went to Baba's temple. The pujari took the vastram (cloth) from Baba and covered me and my husband, BUT again i failed to realize HIM. I never believed in HIM and the power of Dear Baba. Please forgive me Baba. But today I am working and standing on my Feet only due to Baba's Grace. I have been able to buy property which would not have been possible otherwise.

Once it so happened, on official work, I went to a foreign country and the airlines did not accommodate me to the connecting flight due to downsizing of the flight. I had only $ 100 in my pocket and I was arranged accommodation in a hotel by the Airlines, but I was not sure whether I would be able to come back to my home country as I have to take 2 connecting flights to my country. I was left with nothing except my $100. I did not sleep the whole night and kept praying only to Shirdi Baba and Sathya Sai Baba. I even kept writing Om Sri Sai Ram in one piece of paper from the hotel. In the morning the next day, I called the airlines and told them that I have to change 2 flights and go to my native place, they obliged and the rest of the journey was so smooth and peaceful, I just could not believe and words cannot describe. The power of Namasmarana worked.

Time and again, I have had so many experiences in my daily life. Baba is always with us, guiding us, saving us from calamities, sometimes giving us hard times to develop patience in us. Thank you for all many many things that you have given me Baba. I pray at Your Lotus Feet to continue to shower Your blessings on me. Please bless me in my work and my family. Please Baba, I will never ever leave Your Feet. All my faith unto You Baba. I dedicate all things in my life to You especially after 2004. It was the year when I developed the faith into dear Baba. I will never Leave Your Feet. I always visit Your temple Baba. You have come closer to my home. Please forgive all my sins and make my life a little more comfortable. You know all that I am going through. Please Bless me. You are my sole refuge. I Bow to You and dedicate everything in my life to You. I have complete faith in You Baba. Please bless one and all. My heartfelt thanks to You Baba for blessing me with a wonderful family and forgiving many of my mistakes.

Below is experience of Sai brother Ravi ji.

=======================================

I am Sai Baba follower and till few days earlier I was going through very tough time. Here is my experience which I want to share.

Jai Sri SAIRAM to all Bhaktgan,

Here is my experience. It may look just the matter of job but as they say who has been through it only knows. I am in USA, I was trying for job for more than a year but was not successful and also going through tough time. Life became disappointing. One day, couple months back (beginning of June 2009) my friend told me to do Parayana (Sai Satcharitra reading in 7 days). I looked in google for online versions and I found it easily and waited till Thursday to start, meanwhile I started reading devotees experiences. It really gives a lot of peace and calmness to me that I read it very often from a few websites.

I started Parayana on Thursday, first day of reading went on good. But from second day I can feel the stories from Sai Satcharitra and can visualize them. Tears rolled my eyes while reading and I could relate my present state of mind to it. While reading I could get all the answers to questions I had about me and my life or that arisen during my situation. It was really a memorable experience, reading went on day after day. Every question had its answer coming one after other giving peace and stability to my mind, tears rolling, goosebumps and speechlessness. This is one of the experience that I can share, there were many more during my first (parayana) saptah days and later too, its only now I realise that how BABA takes cares of the one who calls Him humbly, He needs no money, no gift, He only needs pure bhakti (devotion). Mann se yaad karo BABA zaroor sunengay (BABA always listens to pure heart’s call).
I really cannot express how I felt but it took out my frustration that I developed during my joblessness. On 5th day of reading I was informed that I got job for a position which I was interviewed 1 month ago. It was a surprise as they did not reply for more than 2 weeks after interview and i had no hope left on that. Tears rolled my eyes I could not stop but that was not it. There was some background check and some formality before the start date for this job and it was expected to take about 3 weeks.

Three weeks passed, 4th week also passed and I was again tensed and was asking same question to BABA that It was His Ashirwad that I got a job and why is the start date getting delayed but they never got back to me with start date. I was tensed and used to cry every day and speak to BABA that what is this going on. And I could sense only thing that I need to be patient and keep faith (SHRADHA & SABURI). I started parayana again and days passed. It was only SAI BABA that i could continue to be patient and try for job and this time all went well and I got a job and its already been few weeks I am working. BABA cares and BABA loves. Its only our past karma what makes us suffer but BABA's presence and care made me understand some real virtues of life and one thing is for sure faith in HIM will never let you down.

I had some really wonderful experiences during my first saptah (parayana) days and later also but this is it for now, may be i will write about it sometime.

Today i am posting experience of Sai brother Abhihemu.

====================================

I loved a girl but in September 2004 she married someone else saying "Main jaisa ladka chahati thi vaisa mujhe mil gaya hai"(i have found a boy of my choice) and then my life became hell, i suffered a lot. I was a boy who never looked at any girl for love making; that time i was a real innocent boy. It was my first affair at all, which was initiated by her and i was truly serious. I neither fought with her nor had any misunderstandings with her. She suddenly left me without any reason.

I am suffering a lot for last five years but i still love her unable to forget. I used to think that she cheated me, left for a better boy (boy was engineer) and I was mere a student. I cried from the core of my heart. I always thought that she is 90% guilty. I never got relaxed for a minute and went into severe depression.

Last year i prayed to BABA to make me clear why she cheated me and i can surely say BABA answered my prayers. In last six months for the first time in last five years i realized that i was also guilty, i never stopped her thinking that she deserve a better boy while she was expecting that i will stop her. Now i know that she was only 60% guilty and rest 40% guilt was done by me.

Gradually i am coming out from severe depression feeling relaxed!!!

OM SAI RAM

I would like to appreciate for the wonderful work you are doing. May Sai helps you to keep up with the good work always.

OM SAI RAM

This incident happened with me in the month of April. I am married for the past four years but have no issue as yet. I am on medication for the past one year. In the month of April i got to know that i have conceived but the pregnancy has happened in the tubes & not in the uterus & now they will have to operate me & remove the fetus as well as one of my tube. I was devastated after hearing this.

At night i kept praying to my Sainath. I kept asking Him as to why is He doing this to me. I don't know when i slept. As i slept i had a dream where in i saw that i am walking on a road & on the side of the road there are some people worshiping a black idol, out of curiosity i go there to ask who is this God. They told me some name which i dont remember but i clearly remember that i told them you are wrong its not the God. They were mentioning but it is my Sai. In the morning before going for the operation i thanked Babaji for coming in my dream & left everything in His hands. I was operated on & my right tube was removed.

After few weeks of getting operated i started going to a nearby temple. This was for the first time i was going to that temple. Before entering the temple there i saw a huge pipal tree (Poplar leaved Fig Tree) wherein people had placed few idols & pictures of various God & Goddesses, there i saw a black idol i went close to see whose idol is it & was surprised to see that was black Sai Baba's idol. In my lifetime i had never seen a black Sai idol. As i went inside the temple i was somehow reminded of the dream wherein Sai came in the form of black idol. I started having goosebumps all over & thanked Babaji for the lovely darshan He gave me.

Till date i have no issue but i know deep down that He is there listening to me & will surely bless me one day.

Below is experience of Sai brother Kapil

===============================================

Hi,

I am new to this forum and after reading a couple of blogs, I really liked it & would like to share my experiences with other devotees too.

I have had numerous experiences with Sai Baba and I think this is a good platform to share them all.

One of my short experience that I had was in January 2009. I went to Shirdi with my mom and dad. Just a week before we had to leave from Delhi, my mom fractured her leg, but with the grace of Baba, she was able to walk, although she limped. However we had glorious darshan of Sai Baba at the Samadhi temple.

It was her first visit to Shirdi & she was very happy as I recall.

Now, we had to collect a few Udi packets for some relatives and friends back in Delhi. So, me and my father were looking for about atleast 4 or 5 packets that are distributed in the temple premises.

When we were in the temple, we saw that the queue was very long & it would have taken almost more than 1 hour if we stood in the queue. We didn't have enough time, since our schedule was a little tight. So, we couldn't manage to get Udi at all.

I was very sad and I prayed to Baba... Please help me...

And there the miracle happened...

When we were checking out from our hotel, the hotel owner gave me 16 packets of Udi himself. We never asked for any. We didn't even know he had Udi with him.

I got so happy that I bowed to "Baba" there & then.

Will share other experiences with all of you soon where I experienced Baba's presence in front of me.

"Bow to Shri Sai - Peace be to All"

Following is experience of Sai sister Rakhi ji.

Sai Ram,

Me and my husband moved to the U.S. about 4 years ago. We bought a Gas Station without any prior experience in this kind of business. We just started the business learning things at our own level and we were unaware of the fact that we need to renew all licenses every year.

The reminder mail for one of the licensees were also not send to us. Suddenly one day people from the liquor department came and stopped us from selling any kind of liquor, and told us that you have not paid the fees for the liquor license and they have taken away the license and given it to some other place.

We were shocked to hear all that and that day a lot of customers came and saw that we are no longer selling any kind of beer, they got pissed and went away.

That was the day that my husband had tears in his eyes because a lot of our business would go away because of that. Seeing him worried like this i was heart broken.

New place, new people and such a big problem. I didn't know what to do. I don't remember but i think it was a Thursday and i had never believed in SAI BABA so much before but i had heard from my mother in law that if you read Sai Satcharitra in one week your wish gets fulfilled. I started reading the book the next day and read it for a week, i use to cry everyday next to Sai Baba that please do some magic and get the license back.

I finished one week of reading and meanwhile we hired a lawyer to fight for us as we were not notified. But nothing happened. I again started reading the book. And next day the news came that we got the license. It was totally Sai Baba's magic as our license had gone to some body else and the head of the department said that it has never happened before that a special license like this is issued for anybody. I know it was because of SAI BABA's grace that we got our business back.

Thank you BABA for all your mercy.

Forwarding the first encounter and experiences of Gopalarao Ravada popularly known and Saibanaisa with brief introduction.

Shri Gopala Rao Ravada due to the Grace of SAI, turned SAI devotee during the year 1989. He was born to Shri VenkataRao Ravada and Smt. Venkata Ramannamma Ravada on 24th April, 1946. On a fine day, Shri GopalaRao while in meditation has named SAIBANISA by BABA which means in his mother language Telugu as "Bhadyathalu Nirvarthinche Sanyasi". In English the person who obeys the instructions of SAI and implements it.

As per the dictates of BABA, he is actively engaged in the spreading of SAI PHILOSOPHY from 25-12-1998 through the medium of Internet and is the founder member of www.saidarbar.org. After serving Government of India in the capacity of Scientific Officer, he has at the age of 54 years, opted for voluntary retirement and dedicated himself to serve SAI and SAI devotees. He is bestowed with the Blessings of BABA and whatever messages are given to him in dreams are classified and presented as SAI PHILOSOPHY and Message for the Life have received immense popularity in the circles through his site www.saidarbar.org. On invitation by the organizers, he has attended Sai Utsav - 2000 held on 23-25th November 2000 at Chicago, and Sai Utsav-2003 held during 4-5th of October at Orlando, Florida, USA.

First encounter and experiences : Prior to 1989 I was not knowing about SRI SHIRIDI SAI BABA. Some body gave me the photograph of SRI SAI BABA during the month of January, 1989. Whenever I looked to that photograph, I felt SRI SAI BABA was smiling at me. Indeed it was a magnetic effect and I felt I must visit SHIRDI. In the month of July 1989 my neighbour Sri Bhonslay invited me to visit SHIRDI along with him. I visited SHIRDI and that was the turning point in my life. From 07-06-1990 onwards daily I started reading "SAI SATCHARITA" written by SRI NAGESH VASUDEV GUNAJI, and since then my life style was totally changed. Prior to 1989 I was living like a vagabond. The day I started reading "SAI SATCHARITA". I felt responsibility in my family life and official life. It was on 11-04-1991 I was reading chapter 21, of SAI SATCHARITA and the following lines in the page 111 attracted me, "You should study this book and if you do so, your desires will be fulfilled; and when you go to the North in discharge of your duties in future, you will come across a great Saint by your good luck, and then he will show you the future path, and give rest to your mind and make you happy". In the month of March, 1991 there was a talk in the office that some officers will be sent on official duty to Sweden and South Korea. On 11-04-1991 at 7.30 a.m. I prayed BABA to give me a chance to go abroad. When I reached my office on 11-04-1991 I was asked to sign the Passport papers. On that day I came to know that Chief Executive has recommended my name along with another name to visit South Korea. When I signed the passport papers I felt happy and bowed my head on the Lotus Feet of Lord SAINATH, and offered my "PRANAMS". I got my official passport and VISA on 01-05-1991 in my hand. Myself and Co-officer left Hyderabad on 05-05-1991 to South Korea.

It was on 06-05-1991 the time was 1.00am and my security check was over in the Bombay International Airport and I was waiting to board the aircraft of SWISSAIR, (FLIGHT from ZURICH - BOMBAY - HONGKONG - SEOUL). I felt I must pray SAI BABA before entering the aircraft. I was going by the side of all the DUTY FREE SHOPS in the airport and felt happy to see the photo of SAI BABA in one shop. The time was 1.10 a.m. and the departure time of flight is 1.20 a.m. I stood and prayed in front of that Photograph for two minutes and entered the aircraft. The time was 1.20 a.m. the aircraft was moving on the runway. The time was 1.30 a.m. and the aircraft was airborne. That was my first experience to travel abroad on an international flight, and my heart was beating fast. I closed my eyes for ten minutes and started chanting OM SAI-SRI SAI-JAYA JAYA SAI. I felt very happy when the pilot of the aircraft announced to remove the belts and relax. At that time the aircraft was moving at a speed of 900 miles per hour at an altitude of 40,000 feet. Just before the takeoff one tall gentleman with a fair complexion entered the aircraft and sat by my side. When the air hostess started serving cool drinks, in a friendly way I asked that gentleman as to who he was and where from he had come. He replied that he is RAJ.I.MIRPURI and is coming from SHIRDI and going to Hong Kong. On learning that he came from SHIRDI, I was over joyed with love and talked about SAILEELAS with him. We were talking up to 3.00 a.m. and I set my alarm at 05.00 a.m. to read the KAKAD ARATI OF SAI BABA and gone to sleep. When the alarm was ringing I got up and I could see bright Sun light from the aircraft and the air hostess was serving breakfast. I asked about the time she told it is 8.00 a.m. (local time) now. I washed my face and started reading KAKAD ARTI, the gentleman sitting by the side of me (Mr. RAJ.I.MIRPURI) asked me to read the KAKAD ARATI little loudly so that he too can listen to it. I completed reading the KAKAD ARATI and offered the Morning break-fast as Naivedyam to Sai, and offered the Prasad to that Gentleman. He questioned what is the guarantee that it is SAI PRASAD. I felt I must answer to his question and I prayed SAI about my position. When I looked to the break-fast plate cover I found letters SAI on it. It was actually printed as SWISSAIR on it and I underlined the letters SAI with my pen and shown to that gentleman the word SAI. I told him ANNAM (Food) is PARABRAHMA SWARUPAM and SAI is PARABRAHMA. He congratulated me for the feelings I had about SAI, and he purchased a sweet packet from the SKY SHOP in the aircraft and presented to me. It was around 09.00 a.m. (local time) the plane landed in Hong Kong. I asked that gentleman to give his visiting card so that I can drop a letter to him when I go back to India. With a smile he gave me his Visiting Card and left the aircraft.

After a brief halt at Hong Kong the Plane finally landed in SEOUL (01.00 p.m. local time). From SEOUL myself and my Co-officer took domestic flight to PUSAN. In PUSAN our host has received us in the airport and taken us to CHANG WON City by Road. It was evening 6.30 (local time) I reached the Hotel and relaxed. It was night 8.00 p.m. and my host came to my room and asked me to join for the Dinner. I requested him to wait for about half-an-hour so that I can complete the night prayer. He agreed to wait and I completed SHEJ ARAI of SAI BABA. During Arati I Prayed SAI to give me a feeling that He is in the CHANGWON CITY also. After the Arti my host has taken me to balcony of my hotel room and started showing me the CHANG WON City in lights. To my surprise I could see big NEON letters SAI on a nearby hotel. I asked my host about the NEON letters SAI, he could not explain about word SAI, but he promised to take me to that place. He took me to that hotel and I could see NEON letters SAI clearly and other letters not glowing. When I have gone near the NEON letters I found it as SALOON. I asked my host what it meant by the word SALOON. He explained me the meaning of SALOON as BAR where you can relax and drink beer etc. To fulfill my wish SAI appeared in the Form of NEON LIGHTS (SAI) and proved that He is everywhere on Earth. After completing my official work in South Korea, I returned to Hyderabad on 21-05-1991 and written two letters to that gentleman of Hong Kong, and I could not get any reply from him. When I could not get any reply I felt he is SAI and I checked the Visiting Card and I could see small size emblem of GLOBE on the card and felt SAI is Everywhere in this Universe.

BOW TO SHRI SAI - PEACE BE TO ALL.
