Shirdi Sai Baba Answered Me All The Time - Anonymous Sai Devotee

Shirdi Sai Baba Answered Me All The Time - Anonymous Sai Devotee
A devotee wishing to be anonymous has shared her wonderful experience with Shirdi Sai Baba. Below is detailed mail.
Hi All,

I would like to share my wonderful experience with Sai Baba. In 2008 i was offered my first onsite opportunity. Intially i was hesitant to accept a long time stay so i accepted for a business trip. I accepted on Friday, but when i came to office on Monday my PM told me that the requirement is not for now and hence i wont be traveling. I did not worry about it. The next day my Pm called me up and told that i would be traveling sometime soon within 10 days. Then after 2 days she told i wont be traveling. This was happening the whole week like one day i would be said that i should travel next day the vice versa would happen. I was very frustrated as all my colleagues started asking whether i would travel or not. I went and told my Pm that i am not ready to travel even if i get an opportunity as i am frustrated by they behaviour it happened on Friday. In between i got an offer to travel to UK, there was a confusion between US or Uk. But both opportunities were coming near me but was not confirmed.

One of colleagues has some knowledge in astrology he told me that i wont travel now. Sunday(3-Aug-2008) i went to Baba's temple at Mylapore while standing in the queue i closed my eyes and was talking to Baba that i don't like whats happening in my life. I wanted him to let me know whether i would travel or not. I just opened my eyes and saw a guy before me wearing black t-shirt with "You will definitely fly" printed on it. I was very happy to see that. I thanked him for answering me.

On Monday my Pm called me and asked me to bring my passport. On tuesday i got my tickets to US and saturday midnight (10-Aug-08) i started to US. And Baba helped me to meet a guy and we both starting loving each other. But now we encountering some serious problem which i have shared below.

This was my frist experience with Baba. I have one more great experience also. My mom was not well she was very serious i went to Baba temple and prayed to him to help my mom recover on wednesday (22-jul-09). When i was coming out after his darshan just behind his statue there would be his story on which i could read "it will fly" (parainthu poyvidum). I could not understand what Baba has conveyed then i thought that my moms diseases would fly away but what happened was the my mom passed away the next day (23-jul-09) early morning 5 pm.

Then i realized what Baba had said to me that my mom life would fly away from her. These two miracles have made me move closer to him.

Now i have one major problem though i have confidence in Baba i am feeling very frustrated. My love is been engaged to some other girl and he is going to be married in august. He has accepted to this proposal due to his parents, the guy is very good. No one knows about our love except we both. We both have went to Shridi together and prayed to Baba and i told Baba that next time we should meet him as husband and wife. Even now Baba shows positive symptoms to me but things are happening very fast on the other side. I cannot afford to miss him.I have 100% confidence that Sai will help me to marry him. All i want is things to happen fast. Sai only arranged for me to fly to US there only we met each other and fell in love,so i believe he will get us married soon.

Please everyone pray for me.

Regards

A Couple Of Sai Baba Experiences - Part 9

Sai Japo Sai Japo - Sai Dhuni
Below are few brief experiences as shared by our Sai brothers and sisters.
Book Containg Biography of Shirdi Sai Baba
Rajender says: On one thursday, I was going for some work. As told by my wife I regularly visited nearby Mandir normally on Tuesdays. On that day, on my way to Mandir I was just thinking, "It will be very good if I get a copy of any Book which contain Biography of Shirdi Sai Baba". I know that the Book is called Sai Sachitra and Sai Leela are one which contains Biography of Baba. I have just read half of Book Sai Leela on Internet. While going to Mandir I was thinking it will be better if I get a copy of any of them. I went to the Mandir and offered my praying to Lord Shiva by offering water and when i completed all this and I am back worshiping Lord Shiva I just noticed that Sai Satchitra was lying near Panditji. I was very upset as when I came there no such book was lying there. I asked Panditji who put it down there. He told me that some bhagat might kept it there but he do not recall when and who put the Book there. Now I could not say anything in that situation and my eyes were just watering, as my wish had came true. This is one of the Baba"s Chamatkar which I want to tell you and I have experienced further many more which I will write you sometimes later. You will appreciate that I do not know ABC of internet site and I have made my own site by the grace of my BABA and my site is www.saisaibol.com.

Thanks to all the devotees and your viewers for their whole hearted support and may Baba bless all of them.

My Experience
Thanuja ji says: I am Thanuja. I started praying Baba when i was in my Btech 1st year. I was very week in my education till that point of time. But when he pulled me into his darbar my life is changed. I can see so many changes in my life at once. I started reading well and i become the topper in my class. Which i cant believe myself even till now. When i was in second year and third year i always ask him i want to visit Baba temple and visiting temple should be a part of my life because in our village we don't have any Baba temple near by. So Bba fulfilled my wish in my 4th year. Because of my project i took a room in town and my room is very near to Baba temple. Daily i started going to evening arathi and staying there for sometime become my daily schedule. My friends every once made fun of me. But i didn't care. I have been kept asking him for on campus job. He dint gave me on campus job and i was bit angry on him for not giving me job at that time but i didn't realize Baba had some good plan for me.

After my completion of my B.Tech through my relatives i got job in small company at Chennai. My pay was very small but i joined for experience. At that time also i always asked Baba for good salary because that salary was not enough for basic needs also. But he dint not listen to my prayers. At that time Baba introduced one guy into my life and we both are in love with each other after that with Baba's grace both families accepted and Baba gave another big gift i got my H1 visa approved. Immediately they asked to join the company. We were very happy after seeing Baba's love and affection towards us. Now i am earning good salary more that what i earned in my old job. He made me to suffer for some time because of my bad karma after that he gave everything what i want. Now i got married and living happily. What i understood from my experience is no matter what we ask he will think, is that good for us if he thinks that is good he will give us if not he will not give that. So if Baba didn't give you what you asked just be calm definitely Baba is having some good plan for you. Today i am in very bad mood and i am asking one thing and i realize my past experience and i became calm. And as soon as i open my mail box i saw mail from this blog and some things is pulling me to post here so i wrote here.
Trip from Shirdi
Anand ji says: I am Anand and when me & my wife went to Shirdi in Nov 2009 we had an amazing experience.

We had gone to Shirdi by bus from Mumbai and while coming back from Shirdi it was raining heavily in Mumbai (very unusual to rain in Mumbai during November). We did not have any umbrella or anything else to protect us from the rain, so obviously we were getting wet. No autos or taxis were ready to come from the bus stop to our home. We both tried frantically to get one but even after 15-20 minutes of requesting many autos/taxis, no luck. We both just 'thought' of why this is happening especially after getting a great darshan in Shirdi. At that same moment a brand new Honda City car stopped in front of us. The gentleman in the car asked 'Where do you want to go'? We specified the destination. And there you go. In seconds we were sitting in his car, and he dropped us to our house.

Amazing because we never asked for lift, he just stopped and asked. I am confident the driver was HIM or a messenger sent by HIM.

Regards
Anand

Sai Baba Always Moving Ahead Of Me - Sai Devotee Saumitra

Sai Baba Always Moving Ahead Of Me - Sai Devotee Saumitra
With this post, let's see what Sai brother Saumitra ji has experienced on the path of devotion to Sai Baba.
JAI SAI RAM, JAI SAI RAM, JAI SAI RAM

Dear Hetal ji, You are doing a great service for SAI devotees and all others through your web site. Right fully one can call you HEMADPANT of present day. I am sure BABA must be showering his blessings continuously on you. I pray to BABA to make your web site a holy site for all SAI devotees.

Now let me share my recent experiences of BABA's kindness and grace with fellow SAI Devotees.

I came to know about Baba around 6 to 7 years back and once went to Shirdi for Babas darshan around 6 years back, but that was before I fully knew about BABA and his leelas. Then I had faced some tough situations and my wife (herself a SAI devotee) told me to seek BABAs help, at the same time quite miraculously we got a copy of SAI Satcharita (I shall narrate this experience some other time) and both me and my wife started reading the SATCHARITA daily morning and evening. We also started reading SAI 108 names daily. We also visited Shirdi once more in 2009. After this we could feel Baba very close to us and always with us we had many many experiences. By BABA's grace I would like to share all these with my fellow SAI devotees at appropriate time (when Baba permits me). However, at this moment I am just describing two most recent experiences of mine.
  • During 1st week of April 2010, I went to a friend's apartment with my wife. Just one floor below I also have a small flat, which I had rented out through agents since last 1 year. I had never seen the tenant (a young man and his wife) but he seems to be a nice person. On that day my wife told me to have a visit to our flat (this was her first visit to the flat) and also to meet the tenant. Both of us came down do the 1st floor from second and knocked at the door, the tenant invited us in and let us seat in his living room. Just at that moment I could see a huge photograph of BABA in a calender hanging in the wall facing us. The calender was unusually large and BABA's photo was also very large. It immediately came to my mind, about the story of Shama going to Gaya and finding Baba already present there (source Satcharita). I asked the young tenant of mine, about his SAI Bhakti, he answered, just like any other God, not much special. At that moment I was overwhelmed, I realised that BABA knowing my decision to visit my own flat had already reached there to receive me.
  • My second experience is even more recent, in the second week of April 2010, me and my family moved out to a new place, before finding a house there we stayed in a guest house. When we reported at the guest house the caretaker allotted one room to us. We kept our luggage there and looked around the room. On one side of the room two doors were visible, I thought these must the door to the attached washroom, and then after having a cup of tea went to the market with my wife, leaving my sons in the Guest House room. After a while I got a phone call my younger son, "Papa where are you, are you coming back quickly, I want to show you something you will love to see." After a around half an hour I returned to the guest house and asked my son what is the interesting thing. He just opened one of the two doors and pushed me in. I was wonder struck to see a nice puja room attached to the room and in the pooja room a big picture of Baba sitting in the center and on either side of BABAs photo, two large photos of Ganasha and Shiv Parvati. Now have you ever heard of a Guest house room with attached puja room!! There were 6 to 7 rooms in that guest house and why that particular room should be allotted to us which has the Puja room attached and why at all in that Puja room BABA's large (and beautifully framed) photograph should be present and seated at the center. The Puja room was ready with lamp, match boxes, joy-stick, wicks, oil for that lamp and all such things which were necessary to perform puja. I was overjoyed and speechless to experience BABA's grace. In the said Puja room, I performed Puja for the days we stayed in the guest house and read SATCHARITA daily. Baba thus ensured that even in the unsettled condition (due to house shifting my Puja material were all packed) I could perform BABA's Puja nicely with least of the problem.
OM SAI RAM, JAI SAI RAM, OM SAI RAM

Dear SAI Devotees, BABA is always with us and taking care of us every moment.

With Namaskar and Prayer to BABA for well being all
Saumitra

My Experiences With Shirdi Sai Baba - Anonymous Sai Devotee

My Experiences With Shirdi Sai Baba - Anonymous Sai Devotee
I have received mail from Sai sister who does not wish her name to be revealed on this blog but wants to share her experience here. Below is her detailed mail.
Hi Hetal,

How are you? I want you to know that you are doing a wonderful job through your blog. This blog which is reaching out to millions of Sai devotees all over the world is strengthening people’s faith by the minute.

I became a Sai devotee in the year 2002 after visiting Shirdi for the first time. Since then I have had innumerable Sai experiences. Today I write about, How Baba cured me and then blessed me with a wonderful job. I would be grateful if you put it up in your blog.

I got married in the year 2008 in the month of March. But it was only in the month of October that the two (me and my husband) of us, along with my parents could make it to Shirdi. I remember we had gone for the morning aarti. But I could barely stand for 10 mins. I started feeling very dizzy and was about to faint, when my mom helped me out. After sitting out for a while I felt better, but I was very disappointed. The thought of, coming all the way and not being able to see the aarti was painful. I took it as a bad sign and though maybe Sai was trying to convey some sort of message to me.

After returning from Shirdi, my health started deteriorating slowly, but steadily. My professional life also hit an all time low. It had come to point where I was about to lose my job. In a few months time my illness had become so severe that I had to be admitted in the hospital. The Doctor said I had to be operated and there was no other go. At that moment my life was falling apart. But somehow I had the mental strength for which I need to thank Baba and my family.

The next few months of my life were surely the most painful and depressing. I had to undergo a major surgery, received strong medication and was advised absolute rest. There were times when I would feel very low and would feel horrible about everything, but I want to tell everyone that Baba was there with me throughout, pushing me out of my misery, sometimes in the form of visions or sometimes via mysterious voices in my head. Meanwhile, Baba took care of my job. I was granted leave which was unbelievable considering the conditions last year.

I am completely cured. I visited Shirdi a couple of weeks back and this time I could watch the aarti to my heart’s content and I just knew all was well. After returning from Shirdi I got a wonderful new job. I don’t think I can ever thank him enough. But since that’s all I can do so Baba I thank you once again for everything.

May Baba’s blessings be with us always.

Love,
Anonymous

Amazing Darshan Of Baba - Sai Devotee Dinesh

Amazing Darshan Of Baba - Sai Devotee Dinesh
Sharing in this post experience of Sai devotee Dinesh ji.
I am 60 years old living in UK. I have been Sai bhakth since 1995.

DEAR SAI FRIENDS, I always like reading experiences of other Sai bhakth. There are so many saints about and many people experience their presence when their hearts are open but very few have experiences that we have of Sai's presence.

I live in UK but my mother lives in Gujarat and I go and visit her as often as I can. In 1995 I was staying with my mother in her village. I decided to visit some of my friends and we went to Madhavpur to a retreat farm for meditation and relaxation. On my way back we were traveling by train to Nayad. I was sitting opposite to a friend I met at the retreat and were happily talking about spiritual experiences. Then all of a sudden towards the end he asked me to see a Swamije in Petlad who was a Sai follower before I go back to UK.

When I reached home I told my mother about this and if I should go or not to see this Swami. My mother encouraged me to go and see him. When I met this Swami I had a spiritual experience there and then and I knew this man was not an ordinary person. In a very simple old house he had photos of Sai.

He welcomed me and asked a little about me and also asked me when was I going back to UK. I said in 3 days time and I have confirmed my return booking to UK. He asked me to cancel my booking and go to Shirdi. I said why go to Shirdi and I do not even believe in Sai. He said I cannot force you but you will miss a spiritual connection with a great saint. Something about the Swami radiated Truth and peace about him. I said ok if I can cancel my booking and rebook I will go to Shirdi. I also said that I had come from UK and was not sure how to go to Shirdi on my own. He said do not worry about that go and cancel your booking. I called my friend in Mumbai to go to Air India office and personally cancel and rebook 2 hours later. My friend informed me that my rebooking was done and there was no charge. I knew this was a good sign.

I was quite surprised what was happening and told the Swami I feel comfortable to go to Shirdi. He gave me address of a young man who lived in Khambat-Cambay who would come with me. I thanked Swami and went to see the young man on my way home. I think that day was Thursday and I was supposed to go to Shirdi on Saturday. When I met the young man he said he knows the Swami and would love to come with me but his boss had gone for a business meeting and will not be back until Monday. I felt disappointed but said fine I will go on my own.

On Saturday I decided to go by Train on my own. Just before I was about to go the young man turned up and said his boss came back on Friday night as the meeting was canceled. I suppose Baba was testing me. We went to Shirdi and on the first day I was asked to sit in Dwarkami for 12 hours reading Saicharitra. It was not easy for a NRI like me to sit for 12 hours but with Baba's grace it Happened. I had a conversation with Baba and fell into deep meditation and got up in the morning with the sound of the bell ringing. I did have a wonderful spiritual experience and Baba has been guiding me ever since.

Another wonderful spiritual experience worth mentioning happened in UK. There was Baba's movie a story about Shardi Sai Baba in Leicester in 2001. We live about an hour drive from Leicester. When we reached the cinema we were told it was not at that cinema but another one with same name in the main town of Leicester. I and my wife went to the other cinema but were already half hour late. We could not find parking. At one time we thought of going back as we will have missed the beginning of the film. Then I thought while we are here we might as well have Darsan of Baba. I asked Baba to find me a parking and within minutes we found it. We bought our tickets and sat in the cinema. We were surprised the film had not started and even more surprised that there was nobody else in the cinema besides us. We did not know what was happening. Just then the manager came in and said have to come to see Baba's movie. We said said yes. He said fine I will start the film just for you. Baba gave us a personal viewing for just 2 of us.

What a Darsan gift from Baba.

Sai Ram

Exciting Experiences With My Guru Sai Nath - Sai Devotee Kiran


In today's post i am sharing experience of Sai brother Kiran ji
||OM SAINATH||

Dear all Sai devotees, My name is Kiran Reddy. I am Sai devotee and member of His family since 2004 March 22nd. Earlier i felt myself as hopeless, jobless, no goal and a man without ethics. From the day i joined my guru’s(sainath) family, started thinking about my family, my future and dharma. With my guru’s(sainath) permission i want to share two of my exciting experiences with him from which i can say that Saibaba will be their with His devotees who pray him honestly and chant his name continuously.
  • Experience 1:

    After a long time being a devotee of Saibaba, one day i got a thought in mind that “Let us dedicate one full day in a month and spend whole day with Baba by serving Him”. Then i decided to visit Saibaba’s temple (located at BTM Layout, Bangalore) on Sunday (11.04.2010) and i wanted to serve my guru (Sainath) by cleaning His premises, distributing prasada and theerth to devotees who visited him on that day. I reached Saibaba temple sharp 12 noon when Madhyayan Aarti was about to start. I participated in aarti and distributed theerth to all devotees who attended aarti. Once i completed distributing theerth, along with other devotees i had cleaned temple premises (floor inside the temple) with wet cloth. By 1 pm temple staff had closed the temple. I asked one of the staff member when temple will be reopened in the evening. He answered temple will be reopened by 5pm. Then i thought of going out having lunch and spend some time outside till evening 5pm. But, unfortunately i was not able to go out because of ill health and giddiness.

    Then i sat on the temple steps for a while and wondering how to plan for lunch. When i was sitting on the temple steps suddenly i felt that Baba was sitting next to me and listening my prayers and chantings of his name. As i was not able to go out for lunch, i prayed my guru (Sainath) in my mind that, ”OH BABA PLEASE ARRANGE LUNCH FOR ME IN YOUR PRIMISES ONLY”. After 2 minutes, one of the staff member reached me and invited for lunch. Please believe me, with this my heart had been filled with utmost respect and heights of devotion towards my guru(sainath). With this incident, the doubt i was having on Saibaba (i.e, whether he is there with me or not) had been clarified. Before 3 days, for one of my question my guru(sainath) answered me that, ”ON THE COMING SUNDAY YOU WILL RECEIVE WEALTH WHICH YOU ARE NOT HAVING TILL NOW”. So, i honestly felt that wealth means confidence and feeling of my guru’s(sainath) presence with me which i have never felt before.

    After having lunch along with temple staff and other sai devotees i took rest sitting on the temple steps till 5pm. Again after opening the temple i attended Sayankala (evening) aarti and Shejaarthi. Before closing the temple for the day i cleaned the temple along with staff members and left for home at 10pm.

    I want to share a small miracle which happened while drafting this letter, when i was drafting this letter i wanted to stop for a while to have my lunch. Then i gave the save command, the file name (save as) has mentioned as OM SAINATH(i chant Baba with this name) came on its own. With the same name i saved it.

    ||OM SAINATH||
  • ||OM SAINATH||

    Experience 2:

    Yesterday (14.04.2010) evening around 6pm when I was heading back towards my home from work, i heard a small dog barking inside the bushes(in a open place) next to my apartment. As it was raining heavily, i couldn’t go and search for that. Even at night 10pm when i reached my home after meeting my friend outside it was there and barking as if it is not able to find it's mother and struggling for food. Then with the help of mobile light i went into the open place and somehow managed to take out the small dog from the bushes. I brought that puppy with me to my apartment ground floor and i offered few biscuits and milk. While he was having milk, i went into my flat and came back in 5 minutes. When i look at puppy, he was not there and a black cat sitting and having left over milk.

    Yesterday morning i got an answer from my guru (sainath) for one of my question that, ”FEED DOGS AND CATS YOU WILL GET FAME AND HAPPINESS, IT WILL HAPPEN SHORTLY”. When i remembered this, i felt happy. With this i am confident that my guru (sainath) will be there with me through out my life.

Miracles of Shirdi Sai Baba In Shruti's Life - Sai Devotee Sairoopa

Miracles of Shirdi Sai Baba In Shruti's Life - Sai Devotee Sairoopa
Sai sister Sairoopa ji has shared few experiences of her friend with Shirdi Sai Baba and they are in turn shared with you all in this post.
Dear Hetalji, I am a regular reader of your blog and it really draw more close to Saibaba and boost up my energy to face hurdle of life.

There are couple of experiences which make me feel Saibaba presence in my life out of which I would like to share Saibaba’s miracle which happened to my friend.

My friend Shruti & me are best friends since 25 years now. She got married at the age of 20 and gone through many problems. Her marriage has gone through a rough path and when her son was 5 years old she walked out of her husband’s place along with her son. Life never seems to be easy for her as she didn’t have job some how she completed a beautician course with the help of her parents & started working in a parlour but income was too less to serve her needs.

She was totally into depression and lot of things happened that she couldn’t recover herself. She started facing lot of health problems. Out of which one problem was her right side hand was started shivering because of this she has to stop her beautician job. She tried lot of medicines changed doctors but no use. Later her whole right side body was not in control. She cant stand, sit and cant go alone anywhere. I was in middle east when her health problems increased to this level.

My last vacation I rushed to her house. Oh God what a painful sight it was! I couldn’t recognize my friend though I controlled tears started rolling down my cheeks. She was so beautiful and now she drastically lost weight and her beautiful long hair was cut short till shoulders as she cant comb her hair and she can not walk! She is just 30 years old and i felt its too early to get such sickness! Her mom told me with tears in her eyes that they tried all sorts of medicine from last 3 years but no use may be because her husband’s family did some black magic on her hence medicines not working on her body. Now even doctors have left hope. I was left unspoken.. looking at her 8 years old son and I wish I could do something for her.

Whole night I couldn’t sleep thinking about her. Morning I got up and prayed Saibaba to help Shruti and make her normal as before. In the evening I went to her I took "Saicharita" along with me. I spent some time with her and when I was departing I hugged her and gave Saicharita saying that "Keep firm faith in Saibaba and read this book". Before leaving to middle east I couldn’t meet her but I spoke to her over the phone and she said she started reading "Saicharita".

I came back from vacation joined my work and whenever I speak to my mom I used to ask about Shruti. After a month or so one day my mom saw Shruti in the bus and she was so surprised to see her healthy. Shruti told my mom that she is fine and she can go out alone now. When my mom told me this I was so very happy immediately I called shruti and “there she is” speaking clearly and she was sounding so happy. I was so eager to know how this miracle happened. Her mom explained as Shruti started reading Saicharita some one suggested a Neurosurgeon’s name though they didn’t have a hope her parents decided to go to him. After the check up he said this is side effect of some medicine which making her nerves weak as a result she is not able to walk and sit (when she was 12 she took medicine for elephant leg disease).

On other end of phone her mom and she couldn’t stop praising Saibaba and this side i had a pleased smile on my face. I thanked Shree Sai and I too truly believe that merciful Saibaba helped my best friend. He saved her life. Now she reading Saicharita everyday.

Sairam ! Please be with us, Please be kind to us & lead us in right path always.

Miraculous Things In My Life By Shirdi Sai Baba - Sai Devotee Avinash

Miraculous Things In My Life By Shirdi Sai Baba - Sai Devotee Avinash
Sharing in this post experience of Sai brother Avinash ji.
Hi, First of all, thanks to Shri Shirdi Sai Baba for being with me and blessing me. I am Avinash. I am very excited with this forum and feel that its my basic responsibility to share my experiences with my Sai Matha. Sorry if my post is long, but I hope that it will be of help to some people who are in troubles.

I am working on a work permit in USA.

My life has been so cool till the end of 2008. I have loved Sai till this point just like any other Saint/God. I sometimes used to meditate chanting his name. But as far as I remember, I never had a strong encounter with him untill the end of 2008. Also, my job was very stable untill this point.

At the end of 2008, I lost my job. I didn't take much tension at that time, because I thought I will get a new job soon. Days went till April 2009, and then troubles started coming to my life. My employer told me that he was canceling my work permit because he is having some issues running the company. So I was thrown into a desperate situation for finding a new job and new work permit.

During that period, economy was so bad and it was almost impossible to get a new job. Also things are very tough to get a new work permit. And my financial situation is very weak. I have lot of debts in credit cards and I am not in a situation to leave everything behind and go back to India.
  • My first strong encounter with Baba:

    In May 2009, one of my friends called me and said he wanted to visit me. Actually he was on his way to his destination but he took a halt at my place because of some work. It was the period where I was constantly worrying about my work permit and job. My friend visited me at night. On the same day, few hours before in the evening, I cried infront of Baba's picture in the computer and desperately wanted to find an answer for my problems. I guessed that my past bad karmas had dragged me into that situation. And immediately, I wanted to find a solution to get rid of those bad karmas. I was searching on the internet, and found that chanting Baba's name, meditating on Him and reading His scriptures will help in draining down the bad karma. Then I thought in myself that I can chant His name and meditate on Him. But what about reading the scriptures? I had no answer for that at that moment because I don't know about any scriptures on Baba at that time.

    My friend stayed with me for that night in my place. He understood that I am in very depressed mood. He left the other day (May 30th), but before he left, he told me that there is a book on some of Sai Baba's teachings and real life experiences called "Sai Satcharitra". He advised that it will have a very positive effect on my situation. He also said that it is good, if I can start reading this book on Thursday and finish in 7 days. He told me that it helped him a lot in his personal life. And finally, he said that I don't have to follow any rules and regulations while reading this book. The only thing that I need to do is to read it whole heartedly. He left that place after that.

    Then my eyes filled with joy, because I found the answer for the question I had the day before. Then I recalled one of the famous Baba's saying "If anybody reaches Baba with devotion and seek His help, Baba will give the answer immediately". I experienced this one in my life.

    After that, my friend sent me the links of Sai Satcharitra (PDF version) (June 2nd). I started reading the book on Thursday (June 4th).
  • First Miracle of Baba:

    A new employer applied for my work permit ( 27th of May ) just before the above incident happened (as I told above, my old employer terminated me). But I am very doubtful about the new approval, because I didn't meet the basic criteria for the approval process.

    After I started reading Satcharitra (June 4th), my work permit got approved. I got the approval notice on June 10th. I opened it and found that my application in fact got approved on June 3rd (one day even before I started reading Satcharitra). This is a double wonder for me because, it was impossible to have the work permit approved without meeting this basic criteria. Also it is very difficult to get approval so soon. I immediately called my friend and told him about my work permit approval. He was very happy and asked me if I was reading the Satcharitra properly as per the schedule.

    Actually, I was NOT strictly following the schedule ( Start reading the book on Thursday and finish it in 7 days) at that time. Then he told me to start reading it again and finish it properly this time. I did the same.
  • Second Miracle of Baba:

    With the first miracle and grace of Baba, one of my major problems (work permit) has been resolved. But I had a second problem (project). This time, like my friend said, I finished reading the Sai Satcharitra on time (started on June 11th and finished on June 17th).

    Then on June 22nd, I got an e-mail from a vendor company with subject " I WILL PLACE YOU IN A CONTRACT POSITION (PROJECT) ON JUNE 29th".

    This again is a big surprise for me, because I applied for that position in the past and also gave the interview (during the time when I was reading Sai Satcharitra). But the interview didn't go that well. So they selected another person for that. And I was never expecting such an e-mail from him.

    I immediately called the vendor company, and joined that project (with no further interview). Here another miracle happened and I was ended up with getting more money in that project than I was initially expecting.

    After I went to the project location, I found out that, I was taken as a replacement to the other person who was actually selected initially. I don't know why, but that person left the project because of some personal problems.
  • Third Miracle of Baba:

    My next problem is serving in that job. I am completely new to the technology that I have to work on that project. There was no help in the internet also for that technology (its a new computer technology at that time). With Baba's grace, I was able to get that project miraculously. But how can I survive in the job?

    I again put my burden on Baba. After I went to the project location, I started reading Sai Satcharitra again. Then suddenly one day, I found on the internet that there was a technology blog in the internet opened by somebody especially for the technology that I am working on. That blog has everything that I need in order to survive in that project. I looked at the date, the blog was started. You know what, it was just started on June 22nd (the same day that I got the e-mail from the vendor company regarding this project).
Yes..you are right. Our Baba plans everything upfront for his devotees (Just like mother plans everything upfront for her children).

I have no words to describe His mercy.
He is spoon feeding me in every aspect of my life.

I am still working on the same project and I whole heartedly give the complete credit to Baba for bringing me out of all my sorrows.

And if you observe here, all the above incidents happened around a span of just 30 days (May 30- 2009 to June 29- 2009).

And Baba has blessed me with so much knowledge on this new computer technology (in just 1 year), that I actually started training some people on this new technology now.

Baba--Please forgive me if/when I feel proud of the achievements in my life as my own deeds. Nothing can happen in my life without Your grace and unconditional love.

After this, there are numerous incidents where I felt the presence of Baba with me.

Now, if I look into my past, there are many incidents where I had a feeling that Baba was continuously watching me and taking care of me in everything I do.

PS: Sai Satcharitra is a holy scripture. If your read this book with devotion, it will solve all your earthly problems. More importantly if you can follow atleast few of the teachings mentioned by Baba in this book, it will create a spiritual connection between you and Baba. And finally, it is more important to have devotion towards Baba while reading this book rather than simply reading the book for the sake of reading.

I am trying to follow some of the sayings of Baba in this book and I pray to Baba to help me in following His teachings with pure thoughts.

Thanks to Baba for everything......
I cannot imagine my life without Your presence.
And Baba-- please forgive me for the delay in posting my experience here.
And finally, my sincere thanks to Baba for giving me this opportunity in sharing with everybody my joyful experiences with Him.

Thanks
Avinash

Sai Baba's Nine Thursday's Vrat Miracles - Sai Devotee Sharada

Sai Baba's Nine Thursday's Vrat Miracles - Sai Devotee Sharada
Sharing herewith experience of Sai sister Sharada ji.
Sairam Hetalji - you are doing a wonderful job in spreading BABAji's love and making all our faith in our beloved SAI strong. Keep up the good work and we all pray let SAI help you in all ways.
I am posting my experience or miracle of our beloved SAI.i request you to please post these experiences with corrections where ever you feel it is appropriate. Thank you and let SAI always bless all.

I have innumerable experiences of our SAI. Today i am telling one that happened 2 years back. I do not know from where to start. Ok let me tell you all that i am staying abroad. Since the rentals are high here my husband was keen on buying our own apartment. For buying we need to shell out a lot of money as premium as buying the apartment here means we have to pay much more than the actual cost which is referred to as premium (any fancy amount decided by the seller). And to top of it my husband always goes overboard when we buy anything because he likes all that is big and beautiful. So definitely it meant he was hunting for a big apartment.

In the first place i was not at all interested in buying but because of the high rentals i agreed but i was feeling since we are only 2 persons staying we can go for a small compact apartment. So there was huge difference of opinion which led to a lot of ugly arguments and unnecessary fights regarding this issue of buying the apartment. I was feeling very tensed and agitated about the whole process - that is when i begged Babaji for help. One day before going to see one apartment i just opened the Shri Sai Satcharitra book and read one page and mentally prayed BABAji with full faith that please come and help us in finding the apartment of my liking - small compact one and some how see to it that my husband likes it and approves it and promised i will perform SHREE SAI VRAT (9 THURSDAY POOJA) if he fulfills this wish as soon as possible.

And LO! BABAji was there like a true father helping his daughter when she called out for help. That very day i prayed to our dear BABAji we settled for a apartment of my liking - small compact and above all with all very excellent facilities and to top it there was no premium we got it much below than the actual cost which is truly a miracle because it is impossible to get such a good place at this cost. It was truly BABAji's prasad. We both became very happy and satisfied.

Now once we bought the apartment we fixed a date for the Grihapravesh (house warming cermony). My husband does not believe in ceremonies and rituals - so i was not sure whether he will agree to have proper pooja on Grihapravesh. And above all since we are abroad it was difficult to find a priest who will conduct the pooja as per our liking. But again Babaji helped us in getting all the pooja done to my satisfaction. One of our friends directed us to a priest who will do the pooja as per our wants. When we were entering the temple where the priest stays we were greeted by BABAji's presence - he was inside one of the car that was parked just outside the temple. Actually the temple is on a busy commercial road. Yet my eyes fell on BABAJI'S IDOL on such a chaotic hustle-bustle road.

The priest told us he was ready to perform the pooja - specifically the SatyaNarayan Pooja and Vaastu pooja and told all the list of materials required. The time of the pooja was early morning. We were 3 of us me and my husband and the priest. As the pooja started the priest asked us to bring God's Photo or idol. We were surprised as we did not carry any God's photo or idol to our new house since the priest did not mention about it. The priest told us now since we do not have one the priest will place supari (bettle nut) and lets all treat this supari as God. We agreed and i was feeling terribly bad about the whole thing of not having God's photo. All of a sudden my husband remembered that he has a pocket photo of SHRI SHIRDI SAIBABA in the wallet and he removed it and placed it on the yellow cloth which the priest had laid down for the pooja and the priest gave me a yellow flower to place in front of BABAji's Photo. Have you all noticed the miracle unfolding - BABA himself performed the SHRI SAI VRATA POOJA (where Babaji's idol is placed on yellow cloth and pooja is done with yellow flowers) which if you all remember i had promised earlier to perform the SHRI SAI 9 THURSDAY'S VRATA Pooja if Babaji helps me in finding my dream house, but sad to say i completely forgot about it after buying the apartment. And to top it the BABAJI'S photo which my husband placed for the pooja was where Babaji wore a yellow Kafni or shawl. I will never forget BABAJI'S presence on that day and tears still roll from my eyes even today to see how my beloved BABA came to my house. Before that i had never seen this yellow coloured photo which my husband had - my husband told me somebody in the office had given to him as a prasad from Shirdi. So definitely i want you all to believe 100% BABAji exists and true to say : I shall be active and vigorous even from the tomb.

The story does not end here about the SHRI SAI VRAT pooja more about BABAji's presence which i will tell in my next posting. Just keep your unwavering faith in our Dear SAI he will surely come to your rescue.

Lady's Cancer Cured By Divine Grace Of Sai Baba At Shibpur

Lady's Cancer Cured By Divine Grace Of Sai Baba At Shibpur
Last week there was a post regarding appearance Of Udi In Every House Miraculously at Shibpur Sai Baba Mandir. Sai brother Debranjan ji has shared one more experience with reference to the same temple.
Cancer patient gets cured up by the Divine Grace of Shri Sainath at Shibpur
The fact that, "The point, where the Material Science ends turns out to be the starting point of the Spiritual science" has been proved once again by an outstanding Miracle of Lord Shri Sainath at the Shibpur Sai Temple.

Smt Latika Ghosh of Nadia had developed an infection near her breast which was unfortunately not diagnosed properly by the local doctors & was mistreated. Days passed, bringing no improvement to her health, rather her condition became worse. She was then suffering from various other critical complications. Finally when it was detected to be a cancer, she was admitted to Nilratan Sarkar Medical College Hospital. As she had developed severe anaemia by that time, the doctors decided to start Blood Transfusion immediately, as they were suspecting that she was suffering from leukaemia. But with no hope of life, eventually she was released from the hospital, after some days, as they were not financially strong enough to afford the daily hospital charges.

Latika’s sister in law got married at Shibpur village. She came to the temple for Baba’s darshan on the day of Ram Navami (24th March2010), while the ceremony of Baba’s Pransthapana was carried on. Suddenly she got a call in her mobile from the home asking her to reach home as early as possible as Latika was going to breath her last shortly. She was shocked to hear this & cried fervently in front of Baba & requested the members of the temple committee for some Prasad & Udi for Latika, so that she could leave her mortal body peacefully by Baba’s Grace. Taking the Prasad & Udi, she rushed to her house & found Latika fully unconscious, slowly arriving to the final moment of her life. She put some Prasad in her mouth & Udi on her forehead in no time.

The Miracle which happened next, really made all the people present there completely Spellbound!! Latika got up suddenly & sat on the bed regaining her full consciousness & clearly asked in a steady manner, "Why don’t you have brought this Prasad & Udi for me before?" Her relatives could not believe their eyes for what they have seen just now!! Latika’s sister in law rushed to the Temple in no time & wept before Baba. But this time Her tears were scented with Baba’s Bliss & were manifestation of her Love & Devotion for Baba…THE SUPREME DOER…!!!

Now Latika is completely cured up & has joined to her normal life as before….Om Sai Shri Sai Jay Jay Sai…..
