Sai Baba -- I owe you my life

Harsha ji says: I am Harsha, working as a software consultant for Microsoft. My GOD my sadguru Sai helped me in achieving what ever I asked him.

I don't know when I actually started believing Baba. My parents are ardent devotees of Baba. From my childhood, I used to visit Baba temple. It was when I am doing my B.E., Baba pulled me to his feet. From then I never looked back. I will share some experiences.

I had a dream to do Master's degree in US. I gave GRE and TOEFL exams and I didn't do well in my GRE. I applied for some universities in US having all my belief in Baba. I actually did not expect any admission with that score. Because of sheer grace and love of baba for me I got admission with a very good scholarship. Then it was during the visa interview. I applied for my Student visa and I got the slot way behind. Every one told me that I would not get VISA. I believed baba, went to the interview. On that day there were lot of rejections. My turn came. The visa officer asked me nothing and approved my VISA only because of Baba's grace.

This is another experience. I was looking for job when I was on bench. I got couple of projects and were on hold. I searched for almost 7 months. One day I was very angry and I sat before baba and started scolding him that he is not giving what I asked. After sometime I realized, thought of the past. He gave me every thing what I asked. Then I sat before him and begged to forgive me and prayed him saying that you showed me how devoted I am. I prayed him saying that I will not think of any thing except you. What ever you give, I will take that and I will not leave you feet. With in one week, the MIRACLE happened. I got a call from Microsoft. They conducted two rounds of interviews and I was not confident. Again after couple of days they called me once again and told that I would be having third round. This position is entirely different technology. Then I spoke with another consultant who belongs to the company I work for. We had a discussion. What ever we discussed, the same questions were asked in the interview. I am shocked. Baba gave me this job very easily. He helped me in the form of consultant. Now I am doing my job. attending satsang and chanting 'SAI' when ever possible.

I have nothing to ask now. I surrendered completely to baba. He will give me what ever is good for me and I pray him that never ever I should leave his feet.

If You Look To Me, I Look To You

A devotee named TJS says: Hetal ji, After reading your blog my heart filled with some hope again. Actually I am in a very difficult situation. I have no job due to recession. I have worked for a big IT company and my life went smoothly for a while. I was able to clear my family debts and helped them buy a house. I also bought them a new car recently. I am more concern about my family than my personal needs. I am 33 male single. I believe in BABA very much and I used to read Sai Parayanam with all faith regularly when I was working. But from last 6 months I am unable to get a job here in US and having problem with my visa status also, I am feeling very guilty that I stopped reading Sai Parayanam these days as I have been facing mental stress and pain and lost hope on BABA and stopped reading Parayanam. I remember BABA has helped me a lot and gave me what I wanted always. I questioned BABA many times whether he really exists to save his devotees.

I read people writing their experiences on your blog and requesting for help. I was also very curious to write my situation hoping at least I get some moral support from all devotees. I was about to post the above message 1 week back just before attending a job interview which I applied 2 months back.

From last 6 months, I was unable to take the pain and decided to go back to India. But miraculously whenever I planned to go India something has stopped me. That something is in the form of friends suggestions. They told me not to go back. And I believed BABA is sending me message via my friends. He knows that there is an opportunity waiting for me in US. And I have to wait for the right time to take it.

The right time I realized was the day when I attended the job interview. YES! He did it again. He made me realize again that he is always with me and only thing I have do is have faith in him and go with the life even in worst situations.

I was offered a full time job opportunity. Usually in this recession time it is very difficult to get a full time job in IT. But I was so lucky that BABA has planned something which is like a second life to me. I have no words to say. Now I understood why BABA did not allow me to go back India.
I am still waiting for the start date of my new job. As company is doing some formalities of my background verification and it will take 1 to 4 weeks to complete the process.

Finally, BABA has just changed my life again. I completely surrender my soul to him. There is nothing in our hands when a situation doesn’t work in our favor.

Sometimes "SAI" Upsets Our Plans To Set Up "HIS" Own Plans... "SAI's" Plans Are Perfect... So Never Get Upset When Our Plans Get Upsets...

A Little Desire Was Fulfilled By Sai Baba

Shalni says: Hello Hetal ji, You are really doing a good job.You are really lucky that DEVA JI has choosen you for this work.

OM SAI RAM. As we all know that DEVA JI always take care of each and every tiny desire of their devotees. Even the smallest desire of their devotees means to him a lot. Today i want to place an example of this as my Birthday falls in Jan. On that day, i wanted to take darshan of SAI BABAJI..but i didn't know the location of temple and didn't have someone who can accompany me ..but there was a little hope inside me. My brother-in -law knew the location but he was not feeling well. Around 7o'clock, i got a call from my Brother-in-law,saying that he was ok now and we could visit Temple now..for 1 second, i didn't believe it..but on the other second my heart filled with joy as this was going to be my first visit to Temple.

It was really chill outside but DEVA JI\'s had already made all the arrangements. We comfortably went to temple..I had a wonderful Darshan of DEVA JI..I kept on looking the IDOL..

I never forget my this Birthday as it was wonderfully design by DEVA JI.. THANKYOU DEVA JI...FOR BEING WITH ME ALWAYS...

My Husband's Health Improved By Baba's Grace

Arps ji says: Hi Hetalji, I got to know about Baba only 9 months back or you can say i came near to Baba only 9 months back. I got to know about him only through your website which helped me to understand his leela and make me worship him. For this good service i want to thank you from bottom of my heart. Hetalji please correct the sentences wherever required.

Here is my experience. My husband got a chickenpox on last week Wednesday. hHe was ok till Friday but suddenly on Saturday he started vomiting continuously and nothing was going inside of his stomach and he was so week he could not able to speak nor stand. I was very tensed at that time as me and my husband stay in Bangalore and my in-laws stay at native. That time I thought Sai only can help me and I started praying Sai. Then also his vomiting did not stop and I called doctor to check what can be done. Then doctor asked me to come to his hospital he will give me some medicine. I took auto and went to hospital. While going hospital i prayed sai that please stop his vomiting and improve his health. Doctor gave me some medicine and asked me to give that to my hubby. I gave one tablet then also there is no improvement then again i gave him second table and that time I asked Sai to please see that he should not vomit it again. At that time Sai heard my prayers and from then onwards i can see lots of improvement in his health. After some time he got up and had 4-5 spoon of rice and that night he was well. So i really want to thank Sai for his blessing and I pray to him please take care of us always.

Sai Baba's Grace

Revati ji says: My niece was facing lot of troubles after marriage. She was in USA and had faced terrible experiences with her husband after marriage hence had come to our house with her infant baby in hands for her safety since she did not have any other place to go.

She was not working and did not even have pennies in her hand, at the time her husband filed an accusation that she ran away with the baby hence she had to appear before the court to prove that it was wrong. It was then, she and I prayed to Baba to help her in this situation. Attorney's fee was about $2000! She did not even have pennies in her hand! She could do nothing but pray to the Lord Bhagavan Saibaba. She took Baba's book with her and prayed that He should be with us during this ordeal. She then called & got hold of their previous neighbors who by Baba's grace helped her by giving the court their witness statements proving that she was a victim of domestic violence. It was an amazing Baba's miracle because that particular neighbor just got in town! Then when we contacted a women's association. They heard of her situation and paid the attorney $2000 on the spot!! And, her innocence was proved in the court and she was granted full custody of the baby!!! She also found a job later!!!!This was possible only with Baba's intentions.

Since few days i have been observing that experiences of devotees with regards to getting jobs are taken up for posting. Here is one such experience of Sai sister Anitha ji

---

Anitha says: SaiRam Hetalji, You are doing a great job by providing a platform where Sai devotees can share there experience. Sai bless you and your family.

Today am writing a "wonderful experience" rather i would quote a "best experience" in my life with my Guru Sai.

When i was doing my higher studies we had campus recruitment, where i could not get through any companies even after having good percentage. Finally i finised my studies in August 1st week worrying about job. Though i knew BABA, was never attracted towards him. One day my friend asked to read satcharitha, then i decided to read in 7 days. Dont know for no reason i got very close to Baba and always used to think about Baba and his teachings. Then again after few days i decided to do 7days parayan. Each and everyday i was asking BABA about my job. Sometimes my Relatives and friends used to ask me 'Did you get a job?' i would say 'no' to everyone and ask within 'Baba when will you get me a job?' please do something. Sometimes i used to sit in a corner and cry talking to Baba.

After that i attended 2 to 3 companies and didnt get through again. Now this time i was really going mad, but still had hopes that Baba will do something. Then there was a site where Baba will give us answers for our questions, then i asked Baba 'when will i get a job?'. The answer was wait for 2 months. Then i was satisfied thinking wow he would get me a job in 2 months now i need not worry, if he would say 4 or 5 months i would really go mad and thanked him.

I started praying him daily, then exactly after 2 months i went to a company called 'Aricent' (in november) and the interview was carried out for almost 2 weeks. Baba helped me in all the rounds and i could experience his presence everywhere. After 2 days from the day i finished my interview the result was "you are not selected". Then i thought OK Baba has some other idea and also convinced myself by saying "see if i would get through i had to go to Gurgaon for training and had no companions with me".

After few days i did 7days parayan, now this was 3rd time. While browsing through internet i found a NAV Guruvari Vrat and i thought let me do this also. Meanwhile i was called for an interview, that was for 1st round in IBM, i cleared my 1st round even though i had no hopes to clear and also saw Baba's photo inside the company and thought oh Baba will surely help me this time. Then on same day gave 2nd round and then IBM people told us, the results will be out in the next week. I checked mails daily and there was no result. I heard from my friend that there were set of people selected for the interview and it was over, then i decided that am not selected and really felt very bad.

But had hopes in BABA and was praying to him and decided to attend even small companies, day by day problems were increasing and the condition at home were getting worst in all the ways, one among them was financial problem and i had to repay my educational loan. One day my mom went and asked to astrologer about my job, he told that condition is bad now and she will get a job in small companies. I felt bad and cheered my mom and myself by saying Baba is there for us dont worry. I always told my mom that we should go to Shirdi then Baba will definitely help me in getting a job and we had decided to go on 17th of feb. I was also reading Akkalkot maharaj's book and was attending Baba's temple every thursday. Some said that am really mad and am so much involved in devotion.

One day i was attending a interview at Subex, 5 minutes before i started the written test i got a call from IBM saying, you are selected for 2nd round (Jan 30th). I was very happy after hearing that and this time i had full hopes that i will be selected in IBM. And thought Baba has given this chance for 2nd time and he wont disappoint me. Now, Jan 31st i had 2nd written technical round, it was really very tuff i had no expectations, but had hopes that Baba would help me, right in front of me there was Baba's photo and i was praying to him again and again. And to my surprise this round was cleared.

Again 3rd, 4th and 5th round was held on 3rd Feb, where Baba helped me in all the steps and i could see many photos of Baba on the way to my interview and experience his presence in all the steps. Every step was a miracle. Everyone said that you will get through this time and even i hoped same. I got a call on 9th Feb saying that i was selected. I was very happy and smiling with tears, and thanked my Guru Sai again and again.

The package was not disclosed yet. It was told on next day, it was a miracle again during Recession period. Everyone said no freshers will get such a package you might have heard it wrong. No one could believe and the package was Rs. 5.5 lakhs annum. Baba has given me such a huge gift than what i deserved. And to my surprise the joining date was 17th Feb on this day i had decided to go to Shirdi to ask Baba for job. One by one all problems were solved and today am very happy for such a great gift and having Baba as my Guru. Baba aap ki kripa sada hum par bani rahe. Jai Sainath. I would like to say one thing to sai devotees, please excuse me if am wrong, have shradda and saburi Baba will surely help at any situation. Everyone will experience Baba's presence and his miracles. What i am today is all because of my Guru. I thank my Guru, daya sagar once again. Om sai, shri sai, Jai Jai sai.

In today's post experience of Sai brother Chiragji.

---

Chiragji says: Hi, My name is Chirag and i now live in Dubai. Here i would like to share one more experience of Sai Baba with my regarding my job. I hope and pray that other devotees will get faith and develop more patience on Baba by reading my experience.

Om Sai Ram

Hi HetalJi, this is my 2nd email you after 1 year or so. I would like to share one more major experience of Sai Baba with me. Its about me getting a job after having faith and patience on Baba even when everything is going wrong.

I was living in Canada for the last 6 years, before I decided to come back to my parents who live in Dubai. I left Canada and came to Dubai in Nov 2009 praying to Baba that I should get a job soon with his blessings. Like everywhere, the job prospects and market is bad out here, but I had decided to move here, look for jobs and support my parents. Many people told me that it was wrong for me to come back at this time and I should have waited for the market to improve and then come to Dubai. But I only believed in Sai Baba and used to tell him that you have to prove everyone wrong and get me the best job as soon as possible.

From the time I came to Dubai, I immediately started applying for jobs without wasting time. For some reasons or the other, I wasn’t getting much interview calls and I was getting frustrated because of pressure and tensions from my parents and others too. November passed, December passed with just a few interview calls but none of them were convincing and were not offering good salary package too.
In January ’10 too, there wasn’t many calls and I was getting totally irritated and frustrated to the core, because of my situation. Like anyone else, I also would bring my frustrations out on Baba, saying that you are seeing my situation, but still just not helping me out getting me a job, like how difficult is it for you to get me job and things like that. But still from bottom of my heart, I just have and had complete faith in Him, that he will get me a job and the best one. Because time was passing and I had to hear so much from people, I sometimes even started thinking if I really took the right decision in coming back to Dubai at this time. All this time was really very difficult for me to pass. You can imagine my situation with no job for full 4 months and just staying home trying everywhere possible to get a job.

Now even Feb passed, and then came an interview from a company where I was called for the first round which I passed and they said if I am short-listed, I would be called for the 2nd interview. I came back home and somehow or other had this strong feeling inside that my Sai Baba is going to get this job for me, because the position and salary package were also very good. Within an hour, they called me and said to come for a 2nd interview the next day itself. I was very happy to hear that. I prayed to Baba, that you have got me this 2nd interview, just be with me and help me pass it and I also told Him that I have left this completely on you, if you think that this job is for me then you will help me pass all the interview rounds and get me this job. And keeping this faith and confidence on Baba, I went for the 2nd round of interview, which I did really well with Baba’s blessings. After the interview, they said they would call me by next week and let me know the final decision. It was a Thursday that I was called for the 2nd interview, and before leaving the house, I just somehow knew that this job is for me only.

Of course I was a little tensed after coming back home, that what is going to happen and again I told Baba that today is a Thursday, please try and let me know the company’s decision by today only (and that also the good news), so that I don’t have to be worried or tensed all day for another week or so. And you wont believe, within 2 hours, the HR supervisor called me and gave me the good news that I have passed and they are offering me the job at their company. You can imagine my happiness at that time, I just couldn’t believe myself. I went and told my parents about it and they also got really very happy that finally I got a job.

So now I am just waiting for my visa and legal formalities to be completed and would be starting my 2nd week of March.

So in all I waited for 4 months to get this great opportunity with the blessings of my Sai Baba. I went through a very tough time during this 4 months with all the frustrations, tensions, pressures and difficulties from everyone, but I just kept my complete Faith and Patience on Sai Baba and he looked after me completely. I thank Him from bottom of my heart for doing this miracle for me.

For everyone else reading this experience of mine, I would like to say that just hold on and pray to Him with complete Faith, Trust and Patience, and Baba will surely get you through all the difficulties and bring you happiness and fulfill your wishes.

Now I am waiting (patience) and will keep waiting for my most innermost wish to be fulfilled by my Baba at the time right time according to Him. I know He will fulfill this wish of mine. I have complete Faith and Patience on my Baba and I also completely Trust Him.

I love you Sai Baba, and I wish and pray that I always be at your holy feet throughout my life.

Om Sai Ram

Sharing in this post, experience of Sai sister who wishes to be anonymous.

Anonymous devotee says: Hello Hetalji, You are messenger of Sai Baba. Thank you so much for such a great service.

I wanted to post these experience of mine since, long long time but, for some reason I couldn't. I greatly appreciate if you could post my experiences listed below in your website. I kindly request you not to reveal my name while posting.

I have faced quite lot of Sai Baba experience on day-to-day basis, but, listed below are some of those.

• It was a bad weather with snow east coast USA. I woke up and decided not to go to work since I had to ride with my baby and drop her to day care but, on bed, when I was just thinking about this I had a voice internally which said 'When I'm here why do you worry', that is when I woke up immediately and got ready and my baby too (with out thinking twice). I left home, I had 'Sai baba' song playing in my car all the way. I just wanted Baba to help me reach our destination safely thus, repeatedly played the song. Then down the road when I hit major highway, a truck followed my car till the Day Care. This person had such a safe following distance that I was feeling very safe while driving specially in snow. Usually, if we drive slow few people just come behind us to close (tail gating). The road which truck followed me was a single lane. At last when truck passed, I noticed name 'KING' was written on the truck. I had never seen such a truck before in US. I really felt it was Sai Maharaj (King) indication that he is behind me to take me safely to my destination. This is such a great experience to feel Sai Baba's presence when we are in need of help. OM SAI NATHAYA NAMAHA!!

• I wanted to open Sai Baba radio website to see a very nice picture of Baba smiling but, due to busy office work I forgot this. I was later browsing for something and came across the same photo, I was surprised!!. I am member of Sai Baba yahoo group and keep getting many mails, I opened one such Sai Leelas and again came across the same picture of Baba. I couldn't believe this. Baba gave me Darshan twice in which I wanted to see him. It's so amazing to know that Baba fulfills all our wishes so instantly. Picture is below. Om Sri Sai Nath Maharaj Ki Jai!!

• Once I was bit in difficult position in my workplace due to one of my developers in our department. This had bought quite a bit of conflict even though I was quite nicely behaving. There was one situation where higher management had to involved in this but, I was crystal clear from my end and was praying Baba's from inside. I was quite nervous and tensed regarding the whole situation because I love my job and didn't wanted anything bad coming my way. At workplace and at home I have 2 chits with yes/no (swikar/Aswikar) written in it. I prayed Baba heartily and picked on chits where Baba mentioned - Yes i.e. my job would be safe and not to worry. On the same day the issue was resolved.

• I have downloaded 'Saying of Sai Baba' software from http://www.akshatsinghal.com/category/3/8/11. I keep going through the sayings as and when time permits. Once I had some issues and was quite tensed. I heartily prayed Baba and click on 'New Sayings', I couldn't believe my eyes, it was all about - Do you duty.....and have faith in Sai Baba (sorry I don't remember the exact phrase). I have this software installed since many days and never came across this sayings. Looks like few sayings are reserved to direct us by Baba.

• I had one other experience where I received a mail from higher management regarding some customers information. It was hard to find the right mail out of 50 to 60 customer mail for this particular information since, I was bad managing outlook mails. This was the situation where I had to act fast since, we need to release build to the customer based on software version they are using. I was stuck since I couldn't find the mail. I was sweating, suddenly I remembered to pick chit. I remembered Baba whole heartedly and picked one chit but, still was in dilemma stage (for some reason, I still had doubt). I clicked one of the mail among 50-60 mail and to my surprise, this was the mail I was looking for information. My heart cried with joy. The chit I picked mentioned about the same info, but, since I doubted, Baba showed me the right mail. I requested my apology to Baba immediately.

• Recently, I burnt my fingers while preparing chapatis. I couldn't resist, hence, applied Udi. I requested Baba to relieve me from this pain only if he doesn't take this pain to himself. For a while I had this pain however, later Baba helped me divert my mind to elsewhere and forget this pain.

• Few months back, I saw video in website about Shirdi Sai Baba's left toe broke a bit since, a devotee threw a coin from far. When I first saw this news, tears rolled my eyes since, that was sakshat Sai Baba sitting there and a kind of felt he is in pain. I internally requested him to give me that pain. After couple days may be, I was preparing chapatis and accidentally chapati roller which is made of wood fell directed on the same toe of mine. I had such a severe pain for a while and have blood clotted. Now, I still have that nail but, I noticed there is a new nail coming next. Anyways, whenever I see my toe I remember Sai Baba.

Please apologize if for some reason experience posted above are not sensible enough for you. All the above incidents are just to let us know that Baba is with us, within us and will always help us in need. I guess, It's up to us to find him with faith and patience.

Om Sri Sai Nathaya Nahamah!

In this post another three experiences are shared at one go.

Tobacco Miracle

Radha ji says: My name is Radha. I came into this sai circle two years back through a miraculous experience and was supported by a wonderful sai site and ever since I have remained there with all my sai friends who have now become like my family. I would like to share one miracle here.

I used to think years back that miracles happened only to others the good people, who are religious and have so much of staunch faith in baba. I thought I would be the last candidate for miracles. But then, Baba proved that everyone is same to Him. He makes us cry loud for help, He makes us remain patient and He makes us have Faith. And, He shows His miracle. Here is one.

I have been going through some health issues recently and one day, in questions and answers to baba, I was instructed by Baba to offer Chillam and tobacco at shirdi. As we were planning to go to shirdi in december 09, I was thrilled and prayed to baba to find a beautiful chilam. He guided us to buy a pretty chilim in shirdi, a clay one, with silver rim and gungrus attached to it. We offered it at Dwarakamayi. I was fascinated with this chilam offering and decided to pick up two simple chilams for the baba picture back at home.

I came home and kept the chilam in front of baba. I was desperate to get the tobacco but since I had no clue where to get the tobacco for pipes in Bangalore, I requested my driver, Nagaraj to get them for me. I had very severe back pain from the previous day, and so I had sprayed some medicine and I had also applied amrutanjan. All together the house was smelling of medicines. After I asked my driver to get the tobacco, I got back to my computer to work. Suddenly all the medicine smell vanished from the house. I had no clue what is going on. All on a sudden, there was a strange smell in the house. It was filling the entire house for a while. I recognised it first to be the smell of cigarette and then realised that it was actually tobacco smell. I stood there in awe and closed my eyes with tears rolling down. After about 3-4 minutes, the tobacco smell vanished completely and all on a sudden the medicine smell came back.

I felt that Baba came home to show his love to us. If this can happen to me, it is nothing but His Mercy. I can never forget this day in my entire life.

May He always bless us with Faith and Patience.

Sai Experience

Natasha ji says: Dear Hetalji,

Thank you for making possible this wonderful opportunity of seeing Baba’s devotees experiences even today. I have often read your blog and would like to take the opportunity to share some of my own experiences. Kindly edit as you deem fit.

• Experience: 1 Baba crossed the seven seas when I prayed for his help.

In 2008, I was working for a global consulting company. I was placed on the US part of a Belgium based project. After the first phase the client wanted to shift all consultants to Belgium for easy operation. I was asked to do the same too. This involved leaving my home and my husband for six months and living in a dingy accommodation and no facility to return to the US till my project was completed. Additionally, I was scared since they were calling me and paying for my expenses and expected me to do work on a technology I had no idea about. I had to deliver but I knew it was impossible for me to do the work they were asking since I did not have the skill set. I was afraid and prayed to Babaji night and day. I could not sleep or eat in peace. All I would do is just look at his picture and say “I do not want to go.. please save me” A week passed and I had to get the Belgium visa and other paper work done. Baba made so many problems come up with the paper work but the client was determined and wanted to work through all of these. Then out of the blue one day I was asked to meet the Client side Project Manager and she began to ask me if I would like to excuse myself from the project and she began to explain why they could not have me on the project. My joy knew no bounds. I thanked babaji in my heart. One day the client project manager was ready to fight the world to get me to work from Belgium and the next day Sai changed her heart and she let me go.. I cannot help but remember my Sai say that when we his children call him and leave our Burden on him—He will bear it. He bore mine and I never had to leave home.

• Experience 2: Sai heard my prayer and gifted me a job.

Another incident occurred in April 2009. Due to the recession I lost my job. Quite some time had passed and I had no hope of finding one. I started doing the Pranayam and kept the live camera from Shirdi running on my computer so I could see my god as I read the Satcharita. One of the days of my Pranayam, I looked at Sai and asked him, "Please Baba get me a job will you?" Within an hour I got a call from a company and in a month or two after interviews I joined them. I never submitted my resume to them. They looked it up on a website and called me of their own accord. So, I want to tell all my fellow Sai sisters and brothers that when we speak from the heart Baba listens to us. Sometimes I get doubtful but when I remember all the times Baba has saved me and that gives me the strength to hold on.

Sai Baba Blessed my daughter with her College Admission

Anonymous devotee says: Namasthe Hetal ji, I have been introduced to Saibaba by my dad's collegue at work when I was a teenager in India. I had not-so happy childhood, had a step-mom. My dad gave more importance and care to my step-siblings and step-mom. Since my teen years, I have prayed baba a lot. I know he is there for all of us and takes care of all us all the time. I found out about this blog while surfing the net. Since then I visit the blog first thing in the morning and read the devotee's experiences. One of these days, I read a blog about posted on Jan 24 about the Miracles of Shibpur Sai Mandir. I was moved by that. All day I was thinking of it at work. In the evening after I came home spoke to my husband about the Shibpur Sai mandir. Then I prayed to baba "If my daughter gets into the college I will contribute towards to the charity work which is undertaken" In 5 seconds, the phone rang, the lady from the College to which my daughter applied and eagerly waiting to hear from called, and she wanted to talk to my daughter who was taking her evening nap, my husband woke her up and told her the college person is on the phone. The lady told my daughter that she has been admitted into their college, What a Miracle! I looked at the Live Shirdi Sai Darshan which was on my computer next to my bed and thanked Baba. We went through so much in our lives. Especially my daughter - she has a chronic health problem since the age of 11 months and some other issue about which I will write in another blog. Baba is there and and gives us whatever is good for us.

Sharing an experience of Sai sister Shernaz ji.

Shernaz ji says: Dearest Sai Family,

I would like to share with you a small miracle, or shall I say, Divine help that came to me a week back.

As you must be aware, Glaucoma in the eye is a very serious disease and it is hereditary. Since my mom lost her eyesight because of this dreadful disease, the doctors had advised me to check my eyes regularly. For months I have been thinking of doing that, but never pushed myself to go to an eye doctor although my visit was long overdue (last checkup was 3-4 years back). I have a very bad habit of keeping myself miles away from any doctor. I know I have suffered, but I hate going to doctors or taking medicines unless and until it is very, very essential.

Now here comes the divine help. A week back somebody kept an invitation on our door step regarding the opening of a new clinic close to our house. My husband said that, since it’s close by, we should get our eyes checked to see if our numbers have increased or not. As usual, my first reaction was “NO” but later on I agreed to go and check my eyes for Glaucoma (I don’t know what made me change my mind). When we went there, the doctor checked my eyes and gave me the sad news – that Glaucoma has already started and that the damage on my left eye is already 24% and right eye is 15%. That was a shock! He asked me to come the next day in order to do a more detailed check up. He said that, if I waited for another month, Glaucoma attack would have really ruined my eyesight.

I knew right away that there was a Divine hand in this. How many times I told Dr. Bajaj (the eye doctor who stays in my building) that I would come one day to his clinic to get my eyes checked, but that day never came. Now as I contemplate, I know that my Sai was making me meet Dr. Bajaj quite often to warn me of my coming illness, but I failed to get that signal. We are at times so ignorant that we fail to catch the warning signs given by the Masters. I feel Baba was so concerned about my eyesight that finally he had to ‘serve it on a platter’ for me and got this clinic opened next to my house, plus sent an invitation! I thank my Baba from the bottom of my heart for this great blessing and miracle. He is ALWAYS with HIS devotees, helping and guiding them all the time.

When I returned home I went straight to my Mandir and meditated. I did not want to allow the fearful thoughts about losing my eyesight to pollute my inner space. I opened my heart in deep gratitude, thanking Baba and all other Masters for their divine help.

The following day, another miracle related to my Glaucoma issue took place.

Before going for the scheduled appointment at the clinic, I was a bit nervous, of course, but then prayed to Baba sincerely. I could feel a beautiful energy and somehow my fears just vanished! As Baba always said, "Do not worry. I will be with you the moment you think about me.”

After a thorough checkup, the doctor looked at me rather shocked and said: “Your left eye, which had the 24% damage, has somehow recovered to only 5%, while the right eye is completely normal!” He couldn’t believe that the percentage of Glaucoma could fluctuate so much in just 24 hours!!!

He had no logical explanation for this and agreed that it was nothing but the divine grace. I was so choked with emotion and love for the divine that I could not control my tears. I know for sure that Baba was present at the clinic when the test was going on.

I couldn’t wait to share this miraculous experience with my dear husband who was equally overjoyed – we both agreed, this can be nothing but a divine miracle!

I wanted to share these two small miracles with you to inspire you all to walk the path in surrender and gratitude, and know that, once we operate from the inner space of gratitude, the grace of Baba is always with us.

In Baba’s yaad.

This is experience of Sai devotee BP ji.

BP ji says: At the beginning of the year I lost my job. I began applying to any and all jobs available and felt disheartened and sad. I knew someone working in company X where I really wanted to work and if i got a job there, it would be an even better one than I had previously. I sent my CV to my friend who passed it on to the HR dept. The HR called me and ran threw a few tests over the phone and said that the job would be internally advertised first and then if no one was successful, she would put me forward for it. Unfortunately, the job went to an internal employee.

She did however invite me to an open evening for the company to meet and chat to people who worked there - this was arranged for a Thursday! I went to it and went well however did not hear anything back from them.

In the meanwhile I had been successfully getting Interviews to other companies, however these were not as good as either the one I worked at or the one I wanted, but because I needed a job I went for them. The funny thing is I kept getting rejections from the companies - even though I had really high qualifications, I kept getting rejected. I felt extremely disheartened and dejected.

However from the moment of losing my job, I had been reading the Sai Satcharita every week for 3 weeks straight, then took one week off and then started again. Took another week off.

Six weeks had passed and I had already been rejected from 4 jobs! The calls from recruiters had died down and seemed to have stopped. I had one final chance at job interview scheduled for a Wednesday afternoon, it went really well and I thought I would get it.

The next morning (Thursday) while still asleep I saw a vision of Sathya Sai Baba dressed in a bright yellow robe sitting in a chair looking at me. I immediately woke up and thought this to just have been a dream. A little while later that morning, I got a call from the recruiter who advised me I did not get the job I had an interview for yesterday!

I felt so sad and almost lost all hope. I remember Sai Baba and to have faith and Patience. I prayed to him to show me sign that he is with me and to show me this is all for the best.

One hour later I got a call from the HR woman from the Company X that I always wanted to work for - she advised me that the original position she was talking to me with has suddenly become available and if I would like to have a interview on Monday.

I went to the interview and it went extremely well.

ON the Wednesday I received a phone call advising me I got the Job. My joy knows no bounds and have complete surrender and devotion to Baba.

I have made promises to him that I will not break and will fulfill soon.

One of the promises was to share my wonderful experience with the world so I write this today.

And truly believe that me losing the job in the first place was a blessing in disguise by Baba to enable me to become a stronger person and to achieve this higher position in a better company.

I now realise the vision I saw in my waking state of Sathya Sai Baba in the yellow rob was him giving me the ultimate darshan and how lucky I truly am.

Please to all the devotees out there, do not ever lose hope, keep firm faith and patience with Baba, he will remove all miseries.

He is truly the magnificent bhagvan and forever will he be seated in my mind and heart.

Om Shree Sai Ram! - May peace be to all.

Forwarding experience of Sai sister Vidya ji

Vidya ji says: Dear hetal ji, I AM VERY MUCH THANKFUL TO YOU. You are doing a great job through this blog. I want to share one of my experience with all the devotees of Sai Baba and i hope you will post it. I read all experiences by the devotees and my eyes will with tears whenever i read them.

Jai Sai Ram,

Today i want to share one of my experience which is my first ever experience in my life were Sai Baba helped me a lot. I am so happy to share this with all devotees.

1) I completed my engineering in the month of July 2009. When i was in final semester i had lots of problem with my final year project. One day my sister brought a small Sai Baba picture which was given by one of her friend. I kept that picture always near my books. I was so tensed and depressed because of the project, since our project guide was very strict and she was not helping us in any manner. I used to cry in front of that picture of Baba. One day i took that picture along with me to the college. Whole day i was crying and asking him to help me to complete my project. While going to college also in bus i used to see the picture of Baba and prayed to help me. By Baba's grace i got help from my one of my friend and almost 80% of project we completed that day. That was really a miracle. i thanked baba very very much that day. That was the first time i prayed for Bbaba and from then i started believing him.

2) I completed my engineering with FIRST CLASS but no job in my hand. Since it was a recession time i was also not placed in any of the companies. I was feeling so bad. Then days passed but still no use. One day i heard about Sai Baba miracles by one of close friend. She is also a devotee of Sai Baba from past 20 years. Till then i was not knowing anything more about his life and his miracles. She told me about Sai Satcharitra also. Then i completely surrendered myself to Baba and decided to go to Shirdi. We with our family went to Shirdi on October 2009 and had a nice darshan of Baba. I started going to Sai Baba temple every Thursday. Days passed and one day i came to know that i had been shortlisted for one of the government company which i had applied long back in the month of August 2009. And then they called us for the interview i attended and since its a government sector it takes a long time for complete process of selection. I waited for the selection list, but there was no positive thinking was coming about the result. One night i had a beautiful dream were Sai Baba is blessing me with his hand on my head and i was praying for him to get this job. He blessed me and my eyes were totally filled with tears that night. I cant forget this dream throughout my life. I was so happy and relaxed at that time. Days passed but still i didn't get the results of the interview. Then i decided to do 7 days parayan of Sai Satcharitra. I completed it but still i didn't get my result. I was so depressed and daily night i used to cry in front of Baba. I completed parayan on Wednesday and exactly one week after that on Thursday i got the result. Now i am selected for the government company. I cant tell i how happy i am. Sai Baba really really helped otherwise i would have become mad by now, so much i was depressed. Really i thank Baba and he has thought me to be patient and have faith in him.

I want to tell all the devotees that Sai Baba is always with us, just what we need to have is the faith in him. Om Sai Ram.

In this post i am sharing experience of Sai sister Radha ji

Radha ji says: Recently i visited or i can say i am very lucky to got chance to visit Shirdi and for that i am hearty thankful to Sairam.

As being a simple human being it is so tough to write down Saibaba's divine blessing which is always with every one. Now it is routine for me to open this site everyday and read devotees experience and got really tranquility to my mind that really Saibaba always show right path for them which is very hard to get it instantly. So i have also that kind of experience which i want to share with other Sai devotees.

I am in usa for last 3 years and living with my family. As strict rules to get visa of usa, my elder sister couldn't come with us in usa which was very terrible time to remember but still my sister wants us to come here for me and brother's great future. After getting Greencard my mother went back to India to stay with my sister and find good marriage proposal for her and during that time she was so depressed and one day she cried and unintentionally "BABA" word came out from her mouth and one week after our neighbor gave her Saibaba's prashad and book in which there is a direction to do Saivrat. My mom had done it with full of faith on Baba and before 9th Thursday of vrat, my sis got great marriage proposal from Canada and now she is really happy in her life. It was miracle and blessing of Saibaba. From that we all come so close to Saibaba and now we all keep fasting on Thursday.

Last year i started cosmetology school and after 1 week i lost my self-confidence and i was going to quit my school but i asked questioned Baba and he gave me positive answer and just keep faith on that blessing i continued my school and even completed with successful academic score and rewards. I was also want to visit India after completing my study so always pray to Baba and this is the miracle which is beyond my imagination i got chance to go to India and i left for that after went to Sai temple and when i was coming back from India me and my father and grand parents visited Shirdi and it was so heart touching glimpse still i got goose bumps when i imagine my self in front of Baba's Samadhi.

After come back to usa, i start to do job hunting and having a holiday time in December and the impact of recession, i couldn't get job yet so i prayed to Saibaba and asked Him and as usual he gave me positive answer and blessings. Sometimes i lost my faith but then Saibaba improve my faith and patience by his miracles and blessings. Right now i have couple of job interviews and its just because of Saibaba's blessings and i have really great faith on him that he will always right do for us. Sometimes we do mistake to understand his plan but later on he made us to understand that.

I might not able to describe what i feel about Baba but what he said its true that we need to keep faith and patience.

Shree sachidanand sadguru sainath maharaj ki jay...

Once again i am posting few experiences shared by our Sai brothers in brief.

Sai brother Sudheer ji says:

Think And Sai Baba Is Here

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

Thanks & Regards,

Sudheer Kumar Pisay.

Sai brother Ravi says:

Sai Saved Me From Embarrassment

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

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

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

An unknown devotee of Baba named Sai Bhaktan says:

Sai Helped Us Marry

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

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

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

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

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

---

Anuradha ji says: Om Sai Ram.

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

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

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

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

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

---

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

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

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

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

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

Sai Ram...

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

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

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

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

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

Love You BABA...ALWAYS.

Om Sai Ram!!!!!!!

Sai sister Divya ji says:

Sai has helped me in tough times

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks once again
Jai Sairam

Sai is God, the Ultimate

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

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

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

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

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

Sai sister Dipali ji says:

THANK U SAI

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

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

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

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

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