In today's post i am sharing experience of Sai brother Arun ji.

Arun ji says: Greetings friends, i'd like to share a very nice memory that has left me deeply touched and full of bliss as soon as i recall it.

On my birthday 19th Jan'09, i had been to a Sai temple at Vartaknagar, Thane. This temple is known as Sai Prati Shirdi Mandir, as it is a replica of Sai temple it Shirdi. It's a very old temple in Thane and i remember having come there many times as a child, or rather i should say Baba had brought me there. On my birthday i prayed and requested Baba to personally come and bless me, and i brought a copy of Sai arati book and read for the first time in my life Sai Natha MahimaStotram written by Upasni Maharaj. I dint know the tune or the meaning, i read it as a seva to Baba. This was in the morning.

In the evening, i along with a friend of mine were going to a restaurant for dinner, when we began talking about Baba, and he told me how his father offers shawl for Baba at a temple in Dadar.

Then later at night after dinner, my friends gifted me a book written by Paulo Coelho called 'Like The Flowing River' to their dismay they found me not too impressed and suspected i already owned that book. And they were right. They asked me and i honestly told them i had the book already. Nevertheless they told they'll try to exchange the book for another one. But it was difficult for them to do so as they had purchased it from a mobile book van which keeps roaming from various places in and around Thane. They bought the book from the Van shop in the evening at a place which was 3-4 kms away from where we were dining.

Then i said its ok, i'll keep it, or later we can try to exchange it. This was around 11pm, then we finished and it was about 12 when we came out of the restaurant and to the greatest of surprises my friends said, "Hey there's the same van !", the Van Shop was parked right outside the restaurant, just a few feet and literally at a stone's throw !!!! They told i was lucky, i dint know how to react, they insisted they'd get the book exchanged, but the lights in the van were switched off and the door closed and it was midnight. Which shopkeeper would allow a deal at such an hour ?

Thinking this we walked further on till we saw the driver's seat occupied by the owner who, was not asleep !!!! He was reading some book, and my friends requested him the exchange and he obliged. He got down and went to open the backdoor where the books were on display on shelves and cupboards.

When he went inside there was a table, i climbed with him in the van, to see what other books were there. Just then when he was to give me another book called 'By The River Piedra i Sat Down and Wept' which was also written by Paulo Coelho, as an exchange for the earlier book.

The owner kept down the book that he was reading at the driver's seat and had carried alongwith him, as he placed it on the table, i figured it out to be a marathi book with Sai Baba's picture on it and it's title read "SHRI SAI SAAKSHAATKAR" which literally translates to Sai Himself Coming Present!!!!! I was left speechless and ecstatic !!!!

Can you imagine this ? I had requested His personal presence and blessings and i believe i got it this way !!!

Why else would a mobile van selling books traveling anywhere and everywhere would be right there outside the place where we were eating dinner, and why would the van owner still sit in the van instead of happily choosing to go to sleep at such a late hour. And most importantly, why would the owner read Sai Sakshaatkar at that hour, and even more importantly why would he keep it down just before my eyes, so that i could read the title and realize that BAba indeed blessed me.

Blessed are his ways , His love is surely with all those who remember him. I really thank Sai Baba for showing his love for such a mediocre person filled with vices, such as me.

Sharing herewith experience of Sai brother Rohit ji.

---

Rohit says: The name given to my physical self is Rohit Sharma by which i am addressed in this physical plane. Though i am working with an MNC in the software field but somewhere within i know that this is not the path i would follow for a long time. This was very much clear after my life turned towards the devotion of our great SAI BABA. Though i know him since a long time but it has been only a couple of years that my life is in his blessed palms.

Though MIRACLES are not the main course for which SAI should be followed or it does not give a point why some one should have FAITH in him. SAI himself says that "BRING CARTS TO TAKE THE ORIGINAL WEALTH THAT I HAVE" - The knowledge of WISDOM.

The only point where in MIRACLES are manifested by SAI are to tell his devotees that he is there with him always and here i would like to share a similar experience with all the souls.

I purchased a new bike and the first thing was i placed a colour sticker on the front of the bike above the headlight. This was an ordinary paper sticker and one day what i noticed that some one has peeled off the sticker from my bike leaving behind a thin layer of white paper which stuck there due to the glue. I was very sad that day and then i started a search for a plastic sticker which is not washed off by water as well as it is tough to be peeled off.

I requested a friend of mine to get this sticker as the place where my friend stays does have a shop where the same can be purchased. I waited for a couple of weeks but my friend again brought the same paper stickers saying that the one i am looking is not available at this moment.

I was very sad not to get the desired sticker and i looked into the picture of SAI that is placed on my computer table at my office and as if i was begging to SAI as why did i not get the stickers, i was fully heart broken.

The next day morning when i was leaving from home to office and i pulled out my bike what i noticed that BABA's PHOTO has reappeared in the same form and colour before it was peeled off. The most amazing part was that it has reappeared on the same thin paper which was stuck due to the glue. It is a couple of months now but the sticker is still there.

This shows how much actually BABA care for his children for small things also. I was sad on not getting the sticker and my little cry of why i did not get the sticker, BABA manifested himself in form of a sticker. I showed the same to my brother and my friends at office and all were speechless.

There is just a small request that i would like to make to all the devotees of SAI is that "SAI IS THERE WITH US ALL THE TIME, DO NOT EVER THINK THAT HE DOES NOT LISTEN TO US OR DO NOT HELP US. YOU NEVER KNOW IN WHICH FORM HE IS HELPING US"

In today's post i am sharing experience of Sai Sister Bindu

Bindu says: It is my pleasure to put before you (all) the incident on how BABA showered HIS GRACE on me. If he had not helped me probably my career would have taken a stop.

As I begin to narrate this incident, I have got goose bumps all over my body. Before narrating my unbelievably true experience, I would like to mention few things about myself and my background. I have done my MBA in Human Resources and was working as a HR Manager in Bangalore. After marriage, I had to quit my job as my husband moved to US. I was lucky enough to get a working visa in US and managed to get a job but in a different location. I worked there for few months and had to leave the job during pregnancy as I could not stay alone. For some time I was at home taking care of myself and then my husband changed his job and we had to move to another location. It was during my 6th month of pregnancy that I started to search for a job again & was lucky enough to get a call from my husband’s company for an interview. They mentioned that they liked my profile and would let me know later. Time passed without receiving any call from the company and in the meantime, we were blessed with a baby girl.

Those days my mother-in-law had come from India to help me with my baby. When my daughter was around 4 months old I thought of getting back to work & contacted the same company again where I was interviewed some time back. They again said that they liked my profile but expressed their inability to offer me a position. I was feeling restless without a job, as, in today’s lifestyle, it is very difficult to manage with single income. My earlier employer called me to join work immediately or else gave me another option of getting my working visa changed to a dependent VISA. They gave me a week’s time to take a decision. This made me to worry more and more, not knowing how to come out of the situation. I was getting irritated with everything, lost my health and peace of mind.

I was trying my best to find some job with my non-technical qualification, but no success. Changing my visa would mean that I could no longer work in US and this will make our financial situation very stressful. My mom-in-law, who is an ardent devotee of Shri Shirdi Sai Ram, then advised me to start doing SRI SAI CHARITA PARAYAN with full Faith and Confidence. I was very sure that I will not be able to find myself a job within in a week’s time and I will be forced to change the status of my VISA. During this recession days getting a job in US and that too in a small city is 'absolutely mute. The same evening my husband said - “why don’t you call the company the last time and if they say no then we can think of changing your visa status. In the mean time I will find out relevant information about the visa changes”. I thought we will lose nothing if I call them the last time. This incident happened when my daughter was like 8 months (old). So here again I called the company and this time they said they liked my profile but do not have anything for me. This time it was pretty clear to me that they said NO to me. I felt the jerk my life gave me. I was very sure that with only my husband’s income it was extremely difficult for us to manage our commitments and home. I was completely shaken and went dumb. My mom-in-law was inquisitive to know what happened and I told her that they said NO. She still insisted me on starting SRI SAI CHARITA PARAYAN. I even went to the extent of asking her “at this stage what miracle can happen? They have clearly said NO to me”. She said with confidence “you never know what BABA would do'. Then I thought let me not say no to God and will start from tomorrow (Thursday).

The next day was Thursday....I woke up early in the morning, took bath & started the 'Parayan'. To my surprise, just in couple of hours of my puja I receive a call from that company saying that they have a position for me and they would like to see me. All of us could feel some rays of hope….trust me even today I don’t know how did this position came up suddenly when just a day before they said they don’t have anything. Anyway, the next day I went and I met a lady there. She said she will talk to her manager and get back to me as soon as possible. The 2nd day of my parayan i.e. Friday I received a call from them and they say that I need to visit them again to meet a very senior person. All of us were very delighted. I continued my puja whole heartedly and on Tuesday (6th day of puja) I was all set to meet that senior person. I arrived at the office at around 11am and was waiting there for almost half an hour, when I see a lady coming towards me. She sat next to me and said “My apologies that the person you are here to meet is stuck in a meeting and I do not know when it will get over”, she continued…. “Also he has injured his leg in the morning so he might head back home after his meeting”. I will re-schedule your interview and will call you later”. I walked away with tears in my eyes... I came home back with a sad face with no hopes of getting a job. I was sitting quietly in a corner and yo!! I get a call from that company again and this time the lady apologized again for not having the meeting, this time she continued saying that they would like to make an offer to me. That was the happiest moment in my life...I was jumping all over the house with my 8 month old daughter. I immediately felt that all this is BABA’s MIRACLE ONLY and I immediately thanked BABA for his blessing. Now, not only that I got the job, but my Visa problem also was solved without any hitch that too within 7 days of time…and all this is because of the Grace of Sri Sai Ram.

I started my next saptah immediately after I completed this. During this saptah not only (Visa) problem was solved smoothly as mentioned above, but we also received another PRASAD from BABA in the form of a “new home”. Yes, we bought a house “OUR OWN HOUSE” in US…a big achievement for us and only because of BABA’s blessings. Today we live happily in that house; the house which we say is BABA’s PRASAD for us…

Today when I recollect what was happening with me for the last few months ….my trials for a job …without any positive result, pressure from my first employer to change the Visa status, increasing expenses with the growing family etc. etc. I now realize that BABA wanted to shower his GRACE on me this way. It was he, who created problems around me, made me worry, then pulled me towards HIM and it was again BABA who solved all my problems too!! Even sharing this beautiful experience with you all is possible with Sri Sai’s Grace only, without which it would not have been possible for me to narrate in such a way. I Bow to Sri Sai Ram for His Grace and Motherly love on me and my family.

I would like to thank my mother in law for showing me the route to BABA and making me believe that BABA never lets his devotees down and we need to have faith and confidence in him. I would like to thank my husband for all the support and encouragement he gave me. I would also like to thank Amirtha aunty (my mother in law’s friend) for helping me document my experience. I would also like to thank Sri Shirdi Sai Sansthans for considering my request to publish this in Sree Sai Leela Magazine. Finally, I thank you all my dear Sai Devotees, who read this miracles story. Let Sri Sai Ram’s GRACE be on all of us forever.

Let all of us say “SAMARTH SATGURU SAI NATH MAHARAJ KI JAY”

Dear Sai Readers, today i am sharing experience of Sai sister Malini ji.

Malini ji says: Dear Hetal ji, It is baba's blessing to know you and your service to all baba's lovable devotees. I got to know baba in 2006 after i delivered my first kid. From there on my love and passion towards him grow stronger and stronger till date. There were so many times baba have helped us but today I will share one of his beautiful leela. And sorry for the lengthy post since i want to narrate each and everything clearly. Pardon me for any grammatical error.

Early this month my son who is 21 months was infected cold from my elder daughter. We named him with baba's name since we vowed for him. The first day i bought him to clinic, the doctor gave him some liquid medication. The next day his condition worsen as he started to whiz and could not sleep anymore. I was very worried and we rushed him to our family child specialist. On the way i was whispering baba's name on his hear. My heart keep telling me that the doctor might admit him. But i didnt tell this to my tensed husband who was driving fast to reach the hospital.

Once we reached in the hospital, my husband dropped us at the hospital lobby and ordered me to see the doctor immediately since he need to go and park the car at the parking bay. Even though a lot of patients still waiting, the nurse brought us straight inside to see the doctor. The doctor got surprised to see my son's condition and ordered to have the nebulizer medication immediately and he told us that my son need to get admit at least 4 days to get the nebulizer every 3 hours. While my son was having his first nebulizer, the nurse asked me whether I have any medical insurance card or not since the charges at that private hospital is very high. This is due to the new building (2 weeks and they shifted from old building) and management. I was very afraid since we dont own any medical card. But for us our son's health is very important. We only had some cash which we kept for our new house renovation. The nurse told me that her nephew had the same case and the charges reached nearly MYR 4000 at the same hospital. This is the moment my husband came in. I told what the doctor said, and he was dashed and was asking the doctor alternative options since he does not want the small and poor boy to stay at the hospital. But the doctor said my son need to stay there due to his condition. Then I stayed with my son. My son had his blood testing, x-ray and nebulizer every 3 hours. I was told the charges for each nebulizer was MYR 80. I and my son were having small baba's photo and udhi with us. I have the habit to pray baba before i go to bed every night. On Thursday night, i prayed to baba, the next doctor visit (friday morning) the doctor must give me a good feedback on my son's health and we should leave the hospital and i also requested baba to help me to bill the hospital charges no more than MYR 2000.00

Next day the doctor came in and said my son improved a lot and we can leave after settling the bill. I really thank baba for taking care of my son. The next thing is the bill. It took nearly 2.5 hours for the billing department to prepare my bill and i was very worried. When i received the bill, I really got surprised to see the bill amounted MYR 1836.00. Tears rolled down my cheeks thanking baba. Only he could do this. A very well known hospital only charged this amount. Many of them who asked me the charges i paid expressed shocked since the amount was very cheap.

Baba was always beside us seeing and taking care of us every moment. I love u so much baba. I will share another experience very soon.

Jai Sai Ram

Dear Sai Readers, here is an experience of Sai sister Visalakshi ji.

---

Visalakshi ji says: Sairam

I have always read the experiences of devotees in the forum and have rejoiced again and again the love and mercy of our loving father, Baba.

How many ever times we read His leelas, it is still very amazing and brings tears of joy. May Baba bless your good work of reinstating the faith in Sadguru always.

Today, by Baba' s grace I finished my 1 week Satcharita parayan. As I finished the last chapter yesterday, I asked Baba to guide me as to what prasad I should prepare for the arati today. I did not have any clue as to what to prepare but I had big plans to make it grand.

Then I told Baba that I will open Sai Charita book at random and He should show me the food he wants as prasad. After a minute of prayer, I opened the book to find the story of Mrs Tarkhad offering bread to the dog and how baba was so happy with that. Now, this sort of disappointed me. I thought, "What, only bread... I wanted to make semiya kheer and vadas and how dare he asks for BREAD!! Is He so scared of my cooking!!?" So I thought that I will make the kheer and vadas anyway and go to the temple and give a few loaves of bread for annadaan as He said to Mrs Tharkad that He is happy when we feed other helpless beings.

So, today I woke up early and prepared for making the prasad. I started grinding the urad dal for the vadas, and lo, the mixer grinder made terrible wierd noise and gave out a smell. I started to boil the milk for the kheer and again, the gas suddenly got over. I dont have an extra cylinder and I was lost. I gasped but still went on with the kheer. I thought I will prepare the kheer in the microwave and mixed everything up and put it in the oven. The power goes!!! I got the message. I took 2 slices of bread and spread a bit of butter on it and offered to Baba. I finished the arati and the power came back.

Then I went to the temple and bought 3 loaves of bread to offer for annadaan and suddenly a dog turns up near me. I took the bread out to give him but he ran away. I chased it for a while and found that there were more dogs and cute puppies there. I could not believe my eyes. I gave a whole loaf of bread to them and came back to the temple and gave the other loaves for annadaan.

By this simple thing Baba taught me something very valuable. He will make us do only things He approves and if we try to put our two bits we will be only making a fool of ourselves. Also what He makes us do is what we need to do. Just following His orders will be enough to cross this ocean of life.

May baba bless all.

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

Mita ji says: Jai Sairam Hetalji, I have been a regular reader of your blogs and like the experiences that devotees share here. I am a software engineer from Bangalore. I was married for last 2 years and had a happy family. My husband was always caring and inlaws were like parents to me. Everything was smooth and peaceful in the family till last year when all went wrong. My husband was under a financial crisis and my inlaws started accusing me and abusing me for that.

I am from Bangalore and was well settled in my job for last 5 years and had a loving family. But off late there were many disturbances in both personal and professional life. We had a huge financial crisis and hence fights in the family. I used to pray to Saibaba everyday asking for his guidance and it was then that my husband got an assignment in a different country and we both decided to shift there for sometime.

Me and my husband shifted to the foreign country thinking that we can earn some extra money and would be able to clear our debts but life was even more difficult here. My husband salary was not enough to manage the expenses of 2 people. Even with so many years of working experience I was struggling to get a job here. We even sometimes did not eat our lunch or dinner without each other's knowledge.

When we came here I had not thought that it would be so difficult to find a job in a foreign country. I used to apply everywhere possible, try to contact as many people and find a right job for me but used to get an negative answer from all directions. I was loosing my confidence and soon became impatient.

On such an occasion my friend told me to pray to Saibaba and leave everything to him, by his grace all the arrangements will be done. That thought was enough to pacify my disturbed mind. Altough I used to worship Saibaba for many years and read Sai satcharita whenever I had time, I had never done the reading of Saisatcharita as a regular habit. This time I though that Saibaba has given me the time so that I can devotee my mind and soul in his prayers.

On Thursday 13th of May, I started reading Saicharita after my regular puja. I wanted to finish the reading in 1 week altough I was not sure if that would be possible because earlier also whenever I had thought of doing the saptah due to some problem or the other I was never able to complete the saptah. I bowed to Saibaba and prayed that "Baba help me finish the Saisatcharita saptah because without your blessings it would not be possible. Also forgive me if I do any mistakes, I surrender myself unto your feet".

I used to read Saisatcharitha in the morning, afternoon or evening whenever I was free and finally I was able to finish it in a 1 week's time. My mind had became calm when I was reading Saisatcharita, all the mental worries had reduced and I felt as a completely different person within me. It was on the commencing Thursday i.e 20th of May that I got a call from one of the companies that I had appeared for an interview long back. They had earlier rejected me for the position but now they wanted me to join them the next day onwards. This was a miracle for me. I could understand that it was only possible because of Saibaba grace. I was very emotional, and could not control my tears in front of Baba's photo.

Even today I try to read Saisatcharita on Thursday because I feel that by reading that I am closer to BABA as if he is in front of me to guide me.

Om Shri Sachidananda Sainath Maharaj ki JJai!!!

I received mail from Sai sister Roshni ji and below is her experience.

Roshni ji says: Hetalji....

Thank you for your email & taking responsibility to post our miracle to different websites. I pray Baba always Bless you & family.

Jai Sai...

Roshni
To all the Sai devotees,

I take this pleasure to write, for the very first time, a beautiful & spectacular miracle, that occurred with me & my dear friend Lorraine, on 23rd June 2010. This miracle needs to be shared by all. And none other than my dearest friend Lorraine, encouraged me to do so. Below is the miracle that happened & is told by Lorraine & myself.

"On Monday the 21st June 2010, I finished reading the Sai Satcharita and then requested Baba to give me some indication as to whether I should continue and try to finish my second book on Baba, (the first being "I AM ALWAYS WITH YOU" published in 2006. Have been working on the second book now, for 2 years, and everytime, whenever I want to get back to typing the book, it never seems to occur. There is always something else to attend to and thereby cannot complete what my heart really wants to do - finish the second book on my Beloved Baba! The whole week, I have been thinking about one of Baba's favourite devotees (Shama, in Sai Satcharita). Have even, had dreams about Shama and myself, and was to have written an article on Shama for a publication but yet again, did not get down to it. Will refrain from writing further about Shama as, with Baba's grace, it will be in the finished book. I then, emailed my dear friend Roshni and asked HER to be SHAMA, and requested her to ask Baba, if I should continue with the Book. I will let Roshni now, tell her story."

"The following miracle is, one of Baba's biggest Leelas in my life.
After reading Lorraine's request in her email, I asked Baba what she asked me to do. The next morning of 23rd June, in my morning prayers, I again asked Baba, that He should give me His answer today. Later in the day, I sat to check my emails, going through each & every one, as usual. I came across one particular email from mysaibaba20 (sent by a Sai devotee, by the name of Rahul Chitkara, South Asia). This email has two pictures - the first picture I will mention later, while the second picture is that of Baba Himself, sitting in His usual posture, with a big garland of yellow & pink flowers. I got so attracted with the simplicity of this picture, that I immediately sent it to Lorraine & some other friends. While at ease, I went back to my inbox, & at once, glanced at another forwarded email, with the subject read as, "Sai Sandesh". I thought to myself - could this be Baba's message for Lorraine? I opened it, & the same content appeared, with the same two pictures, as mentioned above. I was so overjoyed, but confused at the same time, because, not only I overlooked the first time, the picture in the email, which I shall now say that, was a picture of a "Book" - with Baba on the cover of it - but - was stunned to know that, the email I had sent earlier to Lorraine & other friends, did not exist in my sent messages at all.....!!!! How overwhelming is that! I know for sure that my email went through, but Baba only wanted me to re-check the email again, as it was "His message for Lorraine"....!!!

Koti Koti Pranam Baba......& Bless my very special friend always. Attached to this email, are the 2 pictures of the Books & Baba.

Roshni L.

Back to Lorraine now:
I was overjoyed when Roshni emailed me of Baba's beautiful silent answer/guidance, that I could not even concentrate at work! Last night, I spent most of it thinking of Baba and the picture of the book that Roshni sent me, which kept coming into my heart and mind. And then, realised, that some 9 years ago, when I had first asked Baba, if I may write a book on Him - someone - I don't recall who now - sent me the exact book that was sent to Roshni. I started to cry, memories. I recall, wanting to have this book, as a cover for my 1st book, but was told that that would be breaching copyright infringements. Well, have to stop here, and start writing again as promised to Baba. However, Baba very kindly gave me the title of the book when I was in India in January this year."

I thank my very Beloved Shirdi Sai, my God and my everything for always being with me, for my life is my Shirdi, my Shirdi is my life.

Sharing herewith experience of Sai sister Sathiya ji.

Sathiya ji says: I am very thankful to have this opportunity for sharing baba's experience in my life.

Dear Sai friends, I am having many more experience with Saibaba and I am going to share it here.

• My very first experience is my onsite trip to Australia. I was looking for onsite even for short or long term and I prayed Saibaba well. I had 9 weeks (Thursday) fasting and read the Baba fasting book on every Thursday. When I was in fasting, I rounded one date (one of the date after my fasting ends) randomly and noted that on that date I will travel sure with the help of Baba. I kept my passport in the feet of Baba in West Mambalam (Chennai, Tamil Nadu) Baba’s temple. I successfully completed my fasting and the date what I marked in calendar was also passed. I haven’t noticed at that time. After that I prayed Baba to get onsite chance soon. Suddenly one day, my project manager called me and told that the coming weekend you will be traveling to Australia. I was very very happy and excited at that moment. I thanked Baba well. One miraculous thing here is, there was no onsite openings for that ongoing work at that point. I traveled for the forth coming work. I came to know this once I reach Australia. Usually, they won’t send people for the forth coming work. Really it is a miracle. Another thing here is, I traveled to Australia on the day after around 10 days of the date which I marked in the calendar. I stayed in Australia around 6 months. I am very thankful to Saibaba. After this miracle, my confidence level with Saibaba increased.

• This is second experience. I missed my purse when I went for deepavali shopping. I was having my original license, PAN card, my ATM Debit cards, Credit cards and Rs. 1000 my purse. I was shocked once I noticed that my purse was missing. My mom and sister was with me at that moment. I was very tensed. We gave oral complaint in police station. My sister told me that we will get our missed purse. Keep full faith in Baba. She prayed to Baba and asked me to pray to Baba. I canceled all my Debit cards and credit cards. After some days, (1 month ago) I got call from anonymous number saying that, we got one purse in one auto and we got your phone number in this purse. He asked me, did you miss your purse? I told him yes. Then he asked me the details of what was present in that purse. I told him. He asked me to come and collect the purse in one place. Finally I got my missed purse and all the cards (license, PAN, Debit and Credit cards) was present as it was. Really, it is miracle in my life.

• My third experience – I got new offer with the help of Baba. Even, I am living because of Baba only. Like this, I am having so many experiences with Sai baba. He is living with us and he is guiding us in all situations. Keep full faith and confidence on him, you will see success in your life. Baba can do anything if you pray and have full faith, confidence and patience. I want to say something on Baba’s photo in our home. My grandfather’s father is Sai devotee. He used to do Pooja’s of one Baba photo on Thursdays. That photo is very old oil painted Baba photo. After he finished Pooja, Udhi was found in Baba’s foot (in the oil painted photo) in the form of ball. My grandpa and uncle have seen that miracle and it happened frequently. After his generation, that photo was in my uncle’s home. In the month of January 2010, my uncle came to my home and he has seen baba’s photos in our pooja room. He told me that he is having one old oil painted Baba’s photo in his home. He said that he will give me if it is in good condition. I prayed Baba that it will be in good condition. It was in good condition. My uncle gave that Baba photo. We put new frame for the miraculous Baba photo and we kept it in our Pooja room. In that photo, Baba is laughing and showers his blessings to us.

Jai Sai Ram.

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

Neeraja ji says: Hi Hetalji, This is Neeraja, I strongly believe in Sai Baba. After reading the experiences posted by other devotees, even I felt like sharing my experiences with Sadguru Baba mentioned here below. I started believing in Baba since I was in my 8th std (1993). I used to visit his temple every Thursday along with my cousins. Ever since I started believing him I found improvement in my studies. Every thursday we (myself and my cousins) used to visit the temple casually. I visited Shirdi twice in 1995. After that I couldn't visit Shirdi till 2006 (the year I got married). I got married to a guy working in Mumbai, as Mumbai is near to Shirdi I had chance to visit a bit often.

Aarti experience in 2007

Once we (me and my husband) went to Shirdi before my husband was to leave for onsite, Denmark. We reached Shirdi on Saturday morning. We thought of returning Mumbai that day afternoon once the darshan was over. We had good darshan of Baba and after coming out, my husband bought the tickets for Sai Vrat. Then we attend the Sai Vrat in big hall conducted by the temple authority, a middle aged person was sitting next to us, he helped us in performing the Sai Vrat as we were new to it. After finishing the vrat, that same person asked us if we would like to accompany him to the madhyan aarti as he was having a VIP pass. Generally they would allow 3-4 people on one VIP pass it seems. As he was going alone, he made us this offer. I was very excited, we immediately accepted his offer. We attended the Madhyan aarti, standing inside the mandir and singing the aarti, a very pleasant experience I could never forget. I was very satisfied with the aarti. I felt very happy because I wanted to attend the aarti, by Baba's grace we had attended finally.

Denmark Visa 2007

After my husband left to Denmark, I was in Mumbai for 6 months. I couldn't accompany him immediately as I was working. There were some constraints (have to get release from project, apply for visa) etc. Also just before my husband left to Denmark I had a miscarriage. Because of which I went into some sort of depression. During this duration my in-laws were behind asking me to join my husband as were staying apart and that people will think differently if both husband and wife are not together. Finally I got release from the project. But now I had to apply for visa, long leave etc. Actually Denmark Visa processing takes a long time, we thought of applying for my dependent visa through my husband company. They said processing might take 2 months or so. But now the problem is that my leave was about to start from nov 2007. I got released from the project in Oct 2007. We decided to apply for visa through Thomas Cook. I approached the Thomas Cook guy, he said Denmark Visa processing might take longer time and they cant assure how long it might take. Somehow I submitted all the documents to Thomas Cook. They submitted the documents to the Danish Embassy on my behalf on Oct 4th (Thursday) 2007 in Delhi. I visited Shirdi with my friends on Oct 5th. Monday Oct 8th I called the Danish Embassy to find out if my documents were submitted by the Thomas cook guy or not. They said they haven't received them. I was puzzled and I called the Thomas Cook guy in Mumbai to find out the status. To my surprise he told me that I got the visa and my documents were sent back to Mumbai. Even the Thomas Cook people were surprised as my visa came just in 2 days (documents being sent back to Mumbai) time. I consider this completely as Baba's miracle. Just after returning from Shirdi I got the visa. Thank you Baba.

Onsite opportunity in 2008

I went to Denmark on leave without pay (LWP). I didn't even try for a project there as we thought of planning for children. I was there on LWP for 8 months but couldn't become pregnant. I was a bit upset that all my leaves got wasted, I didn't become pregnant too, career wise also it is a bad remark to take too much leave. My leaves were about to finish in June 2008. During this duration I used to read Sai Sacharithra daily (frankly speaking sometimes I used to read it for the sake of reading because of the repeated stories. I knew the book which I read almost like by-heart). Meanwhile we came to know in May that my husband project will move from Denmark to London, I thought of trying for a project in London through my company. But I was not sure of getting any onsite opportunity as I was on LWP. I used to follow-up with the resource management person in London. I had sent my CV to them, but they couldn't find a suitable role for me. But I was continuously following up with them. Then I had spoken to a lady from the resource management team, said she couldn't find any role that suits my profile. I felt very unhappy, then she said 'I shall forward you the list of openings. Let me know the roles that suits you and I shall forward your CV to them'. I prayed to Baba and begged him to show me one opportunity at least for short duration. I found testing role, that lady forwarded my CV, I got the interview call but haven't done properly at all. But I got selected as there was lot of requirement in that project. I worked in London for almost 6 months. Thanks a lot Baba for giving me this opportunity which I do not deserve. I used to ask Baba saying that he helped a devotee called Shaavde in his medical examinations though he is not that good in his studies (I read this in Sai Satcharitra). Baba helped me also the same way though I didn't perform the interview well.

Shirdi Darshan in 2008

After getting selected for the onsite position, I went back to India in June 2008 to start my WP and Visa processing to UK. I was staying with some of my office colleagues there. I wanted to visit Shirdi, my room-mates were new to me. I thought of asking them to accompany me to Shirdi but I didn't want them to say no. Once in a conversation I mentioned my interest but no one responded, so I didn't want to ask them. The month of August arrived and my travel date was given as August 27th. Then finally on Aug 24th my mom, sister and uncle thought of visiting Shirdi. As I was in Mumbai even I went to Shirdi from Mumbai alone and joined them. Baba listened to my prayers and made me visit him just 3 days before travel, the day I visited was also auspicious day, it was Krishnashtami. Thank you Baba for fulfilling my desire to visit Shirdi before traveling to UK.

Baby born in 2009

My husband moved to London from Denmark on Aug 10th 2008, I reached on Aug 27th 2008. Finally I was pregnant in Oct 2008, Baba had blessed us with a cute little girl (Hari Priya) on July 22 2009.

Thanks a lot Baba, I could finally post my experiences with your grace. Please be with us all the time and forgive me if I had written anything wrong here. Om Sai Shri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai.
