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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

---

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

With best wishes to all,
Sai devotee.

Forwarding herewith experience of Sai brother Ajit ji.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

OM SHRI SAI BABA

Sharing with you all experience of Sai sister Seema ji.

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

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

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

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

Laxmi ji says: Dear Hetalji,

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

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

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

Baba Devotee
Laxmi.

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

---

Deepu ji says: Dear Anonymous Sai Devotee,

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

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

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

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

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