A Couple Of Sai Baba Experiences - Part 11

Here are few more brief experiences of Sai Baba devotees.

Sai Visits When Remembered...
Sai brother Prashant ji from India says: My faith in shirdi sai baba dates back to many years when i was having some family difficulties and i prayed to him and they were solved.

But there was a unique experience. I was reading a spiritual book where it was written that god visits you whenever you remember him intensely. Since i am Sai devotee, i started thinking about Sai. The thought gradually increased in few days and all the while sai was in my thoughts. One day may be 2-3 days after continuously thinking about sai, i had a strong feeling of his presence and i was about to meet someone in my day to day affairs. The person met me and we talked about our affairs and suddenly he took me away and said, "I am Sai devotee and yesterday night in my sleep, sai appeared and asked me to tell you that you arrange a bhandara (mass feeding) for poor children in his temple". I was shocked with joy. On thinking about sai, he appeared certifying his omnipresence. You too can feel his presence everywhere and everytime. Jai Shri Sai

Why Fear When Sai Is With Us All The Time...
Sai sister Raji says: Koti Pranams to Saima...

Dear Hetalji, I am glad to mail you this recent experience of Saima and be blessed at all times.

Three days back I flew from Chennai to US with varying mind frames and fears as to how I'll reach my husband here with my 2 children. My sincere prayers to Saima helped me cross all fears and brought me to my husband safely. Flights from India flying via European airports were canceled on account of the ash clouds due to the volcanic eruptions in Iceland. I was totally confused and prayed to Saima to help me cross this anxiety and reach my husband safely. Ever after I was confident that Saima had plans for me although my husband was wondering how I would reach him. Some flights were canceled and some were rerouted via Mumbai and so was mine. I knew little till I reached Chennai airport as to how I'll make it to Cleveland from New York. My flight was to reach Newark airport at 1:30pm and my next flight was at 3:30pm from JFK airport. Clearing the passport control and customs in New York would take a minimum of 1:30hrs and traveling to JFK airport another 1:30hrs. So I knew it was impossible for me to take the flight. Over again I had confidence in Saima that he who had brought me to US would also take me through this period of difficulty with my 2 young children easily. As I landed my husband informed me that there were no other flights from JFK airport to Cleveland and being a Tuesday that was the only flight to Cleveland. Alternately he tried for different flights and with Saima's blessings my airlines people considered my husbands request and confirmed 3 tickets from LaGuardia airport to Cleveland for the 8:10pm flight. Atlast I took a cab and made it to LaGuardia (not a frequent traveler) and my flight took off to Cleveland. I reached my husband at 10pm and felt very glad that Saima gave me all the courage to face the consequences and I experienced no difficulty enroute.

Sheer faith in Him made me undergo all this without much anxiety. Blessed we are to be His children.

Om SaiRam
Raji

My Lovely Baba Experiences...Baba Helped In All Stages Of My Life...
Sai sister Shanti ji from United States says: !!!!!Jai Sachidaananda samardasadguru sainadh maharajki jai!!!!!

I am very glad to share my experiences about saibaba in this site. Really i am very lucky to have baba blessings.

In every aspect baba helped me. I am a student with average percentage in bachelors degree. But with the blessings of baba i got software job. Really i cannot believe this. Most of my classmates who got good percentage than me are still working on non IT jobs. By giving this job baba not only helped for me, indirectly he helped to my family also in financial terms.

Baba helped my father in accident. He is live today only due to baba.

Coming to my marriage point, really i cannot express the way how baba managed everything. Mine is Love Marriage, my family members are completely opposite to Love marriages. After telling my issue in house i dont know what happened exactly, finally my parents & my hubby parents accepted to our marriage. They did our marriage grandly.

Whatever i wished qualities, same qualities i got in my hubby. I have a strong feeling that baba takes care of me in every aspect. In my marriage also he plays major role that's what i says to my hubby that he is a god gift to me.

Baba helped in all ages of my lif - in eamcet he helped me to get engineering seat, in job, in marriage etc. In all stages, he was with me. Nnow also i never fear of my life because baba is there for me, he will take care of me, he knows very well what is good for me. There are many experiences to share with you but these are main sweet experiences i got from baba.

Read baba leelamrutham daily. It helps us a lot to keep faith in baba. SAI SANNIDHI (by bharadwaj)....really its a good book, we can able to know personally about baba.

Thanx a lot baba to be with me & whatever you did in my life. Love u Infinite baba...

A Couple Of Sai Baba Experiences - Part 10

From days long, lenghty experiences of devotees were been posted leaving behind small narrative ones. Today i am sharing three brief and small incidents of Sai Baba experiences.

Sai Baba's Blessings Through Sai Prerana
Anonymous devotee from USA says: Om Sai Ram I love reading the devotees experiences. Sometimes tears roll down my eyes without my knowledge.

I would like to share that the days have been very good for us right after I started reading SAI PRERANA once a day. Everything is leading towards a positive outcome. College education in US is very expensive. Our first child chose to go to one of the best colleges in the country. The tuition is very high, but as parents we wanted her to get the utmost benefit of the best place. My husband is self-employed, I too work full time, we have 3 children. This week-end we had a open house for the students who have been given admission into the college. With Baba's blessings my child is one of them. Today we had a day for 'Financial Aid' piece of the Open House. I took a half day off, we both went to the college, the parking was difficult, as we were making rounds to see where can I fit the car, a lady from the building came out and said I can park on the "white lines" if I am attending the Open House, that was the first clearance I got. Parked and went and got something to eat and went to meet the Financial Aid person. We had to wait in the room, during our wait, I pulled SAI PRERANA from my purse and started reading it. I could not complete, since she came out and called us in. My husband answered few of her questions, and she said she will get back to us later this week. She advised us to go to the floor below to a room where a "Financial Aid' presentation was going on. Right after that presentation, I could see my husband was checking his messages on the cell phone, I thought it was some work-related. He told me that "the lady upstairs wants us to meet her again let's go". We went upstairs and were seated again, I pulled out SAI PRERANA and started from where I left before and completed it before she came out and got us again.

She told us our child was given good amount of money as a grant/Financial Aid towards her 1st year of college, I just could not believe it, tears got accumulated in my eyes, thanked BABA wholeheartedly for helping us this way to be able to afford good College Education to our child. All I was doing at that moment is thanking the ALMIGHTY SRI SAINATH as my husband was getting the total figures for which we are responsible for payment. On our way back, I cried and told my husband that "BABA is helping us in everything HE could" I will continue to read the SAI PRERANA through out my life and encourage my fellow devotees to read it too. It is such a wonderful thing to read. You will feel like HE is in front of you and saying everything to you HIMSELF whatever is mentioned in the SAI PRERANA.

SRI SACCHIDANANDA SADGURU SAINATH MAHRAJ KI JAI.

Experience in Exam
Monika ji says: I am Monika saini, a very small devotee of Sai Baba and i used to read this blog on regular basis. I was thinking to post my experiences earlier also but as per the wish of Baba, the right time is now. Jai Sai Ram

I had to appear in an important exam. I was very much nervous so i prayed baba to be with me during the exam. In the morning i went to mandir and babaji blessed me with my favorite sweet and with so many flowers. After that i was quite confident. My real sister was also appearing in the same exam. As we both are married we reached our destination with our husbands at right time. I was again nervous so with pencil i wrote three words on my admit card paper " Jai Sai Ram". As my sister was looking towards me so i also wrote the same words on her card also (on backside). The paper was in three sections. I prayed again to Baba before starting exam. The exam started and i was doing well. There was one supervisor for 20 students. When i was doing second section, i was not able to attempt some questions. So i left those blank. In the mean time that supervisor came to me and told me the answers of those questions. I was a bit surprised but then i took that lightly and started doing my work. She again helped me in 3-4 questions and everything was so normal. At the start of third section, that supervisor came to me and said these magic words "Do you know that Sai Baba has sent me to help you!!!" I was speechless and was shocked. The tears started falling out from my eyes. I was not able to understand the situation. I never knew that girl earlier and how it could be possible. The supervisor again came to me and asked me not to weep as it could hurt Baba. I was in a very different situation. But i was very happy as Baba himself came to me in the form of that Supervisor. I completed my paper very happily. Actually that supervisor had read those three words on the admit card of my sister and when the supervisor was curious to know my sister told that my sister (my self) is a devotee of Sai Baba. I never knew what episode took place between my sister and that supervisor and till now i am thrilled with those words "Sai Baba has sent me to help you". I know Baba is everywhere but when we realize how close He is to us, it gives immense pleasure. I am very much thankful to you baba for being with me during my exam. Now whatever the result will be, i will be highly satisfied as it will be the prashad of my Baba.

JAI SAI RAM.. Baba we love u very much.

Sai Baba's Grace In Solving Financial Difficulty
Rajesh ji says: I am a devotee of Sai Baba since 1982.

Last night I prayed to Sai Baba to help me in the financial crisis I was facing. I was short of funds to pay the HDFC Bank Jumbo loan installment which is due to be paid on April 15.

I was surprised when a friend called up this morning and when he came to my house, he gave me Rs. 1,000 on his own without my asking him. Even though I am still short of some money to meet the obligation, still I bow in all humility and gratitude to Babaji for this miraculous experience.

Small Experiences, Large Impact - Sai Devotee Sundeep

Sai brother Sundeep ji from London has shared two experiences with Sai Baba and here are they. Sundeep ji says: Dear Hetal Ji,

Many thanks for bringing this website to us, you are one of the true devotee of Baba, we would like to say many thanks to you for your great work, May baba bless you. Om Sai Ram

Our lovely Baba always gives surprises and proves he is around and watching us all the time. I am very excited to share my two beautiful small experiences with Baba.
Paalki Yatra
Every Thursday I try to visit Sai Baba Temple here in London or I must say Sai Baba calls me to his darbar. This temple has opened early this year in January and still in process of completion, Volunteers and Temple member staffs are really helpful and every time I see some improvements in their puja process. They try to create same ambiance as Shirdi and do follow all the Aartis and Puja, They do Palki Yatra every Thursday, starting from Sai Temple to Shiv Temple which is opposite to Sai Temple and come back after performing puja and then Sej Aarti begins, I have been watching this whole process for last 3-4 months and always wondered how lucky they are, carrying Baba on palki.

Last Thursday as usual I took a dharshan and joined the crowd to listen live Bhajans and started waiting for Palki Yatra. I was trying to concentrate on Baba and said if you are listening to me, Pandit ji should call me (don’t know why I said that). Suddenly I was being called by Pandit Ji. I was terrified, I reached to Pandit ji and he asked me to go inside (there is a hall behind the temple where prashad gets distributed to all Sai Bhakta), I was wondering what is going on, soon after I went inside and realized that I will be participating in Palki Yatra

My goodness I was so happy and nervous thinking how I would do all this, Palki started and I was in front standing nervously holding Palki with other volunteers. I felt so blessed and towards Baba my faith has become more firmed. We went to Shiv temple and then come back for Sej Aarti. Although it is a very small experience but for me it was one of the greatest experiences, I felt too close to Baba and realised Baba never ignores anyone, he has billions of followers but he never disappoints anyone. He is taking care each of us, just to have Sharadha and Subari and Baba will be yours.
Guru Purnima
This year Guru Purnima was on 25th of July, Sunday. I visited temple on 21st July, Thursday as my usual visit after Sej Aarti and Prashad I sat in front of Baba and started reading Sai Charitra, usually I don’t read in temple but that day I got some inspiration by Baba and started reading Sai Charitra suddenly one man came and gave me a beautiful Sai Baba photo, very promptly a lady who was sitting next to me said ‘see Baba has come to you before Guru Purnima you are very lucky’ and yes I felt blessed after receiving Baba’s photo and realised Baba wanted to come to my house before Guru Purnima so I can perform my Puja at home too.

On Guru Purnima day I wanted to read Sai Charitra infront of Baba, I got the book and closed my eyes and said ‘Baba please tell me which chapter I should read and you know my favourite number’ when I opened the book it was chapter 27 and my favourite number is 9, again I felt so blessed and was happy.

I bow to Shri Sai and peace to all. Some of you might think you that Baba never listens or show any miracle to you but trust me all you need to have is ‘Sharada & Subari'. Your patience will be paid very soon just keep faith in Baba. Baba always gives some indication that he is with us, we just need to observe his signs closely. In my life there are few things yet to be getting sorted but I firmly believe in Baba that he is looking after me each and every moment. I love you Baba, please keep showering your blessings on each of us.

Om Sai Ram

My Friend Got Job Through Sai's Blessings - Anonymous Sai Devotee

An anonymous devotee from USA has sent her experience to be shared on our blog. Here it is.

Om Sai Ram to all Sai devotees. This is my second experience which I am sharing through this website. First of all, many thanks to Hetal ji, for such a great work. I believe that she is the god's messenger. In this experience, I want to narrate one of my recent experience about how Sai used me as a tool to get my friend a job.

Few months back I got first job through Sai's grace and mercy. I already shared that miracle in this blog. But few of my friend's are still facing the problem of unemployment. We all are Master's student's and its very hard to get job's without experience. But no one is ready to give job to a fresher, that is the irony of life. Anyways, I came to know about a girl who is friend of one of my friend and was talking to her sometimes. She was unemployed for so many months and was losing all hopes to find a job. She was depressed as she did not get through many interview calls. She one day requested me to answer her interview call's as I had atleast few months experience in that technology and she was hopeful that I can get her a job. I was really hesitant because even I got job only due to Sai's mercy and not by my talent. In fact I never faced a serious technical interview, I was directly appointed to that position.

Whenever I face confusion, I cast lot's before Sai with 'Yes' or 'No' chits. In the same way I asked Sai, whether I have to accept the responsibility. He said 'Yes', so I informed her that I will answer her phone interview calls and told her to keep call forwarding whenever necessary. Like this days passed and though I took 10-15 interview calls nothing worked for her. Even I was feeling bad, and was thinking that may be I was wasting her valuable opportunities. One day she called me and said, that there is an interview call setup after few hours and asked my availability to take that call and pleaded to do well, I felt helpless and pitiful. As I was feeling guilty of wasting her time and not being prepared for the interview, I asked baba whether I should take up that call. I also requested baba not to say 'Yes' if that job is not destined for her. But again he said 'yes'. I asked him again and again for three continuous times, he said only 'yes'. So I decided to take the call and told Sai Ram that this time it's not my responsibility but it's his duty to answer all the interview questions. I also told him firmly that "I am ignorant and don't have enough talent or experience to face such technical interviews. So he should only manage everything". Thinking like this, I opened facebook app called 'Saibaba's Blessings' which gives random messages. I was shocked to see the following message, "I will take you to the end". I got ensured that he will only talk in the interview. I got the call and it went for an hour and so. I can say that call went fine, not very good but thought that they can find more knowledgeable person. One day passed, my friend did not hear back anything from them. I again thought everything went waste, but opened that facebook app again asking Sai if she will get the job or not. I got the following answer "God is kind to all, he will shower his blessings". I felt happy seeing this answer and felt assured. After 1 day we got a positive feed back from them, but the problem is there is one more round of interview with the manager. Again I left everything to Sai's feet and took the call. It went for 1/2 hr and the manager sounded little tricky and clever. I was not able to answer all the questions but managed to answer atleast few of them. This time I felt skeptical if this interview will work or not. Three day's passed no feedback or news. I asked sai, why did he make me to take the interview call and feel bad about it. As usual opened the question and answer site and found the answer saying "Keep faith and wait". After seeing this I kept quiet losing all anxiety. After 2 more days my friend called with good news that she got that job and thanked me immensely. She offered me some money as gratitude. Instead of declining it, I decided to accept it and donate the whole amount to the needy which I did. After reminding myself all the things happened and the answers which he gave, I felt happy that he chose me to get my friend a job and also inspired me to donate all the money, making me free of greed. Thanks Lord Sai, I beg you to give such beautiful opportunities to make other's lives happy. So, all Sai devotees, leave everything at Sai's feet, remain egoless, he will definitely take care of everything. Please donate as per your ability to the poor and needy, he will shower his blessings. Om Sai Ram.

Sai Baba Himself Called Me - Sai Devotee Sundeep

Here in this post experience as shared by Sai brother Sundeep ji from London is posted.

Sundeep ji says: Om Sai Ram to all,I came to know Saibaba around 2 years ago. Actually he always called me near him but i never realized his signs. I bow to baba and pray he blesses everyone in the world.

I would like to share my Sai Baba experiences with you, how he called me near to him and given peace in my life.
When I was born:
When I was born I had to undergo some surgery which made my mom quite worried, she saw one picture of Baba hanging on the hospital wall, she cried and prayed to him then fall asleep.

In the night she got a dream – ‘One man who is wearing full white clothes, appearing to be a doctor smiling at her and saying there is nothing to be worried, your kid is perfectly fine’ then he disappeared. Next day when doctors came to visit miracle happened!!! They didn’t find anything wrong and confirmed there’s no surgery needed, and later on they discharged her from the hospital.

Thank you Baba for saving me, In my family we bow to all gods including our ‘Kuladevi – Maheer devi, but no one performs special worship to any god, we do have very old photo of Shirdi Sai (my mom bought it when Sai saved me) but no one do any special puja for him. Just normal puja for all gods But Sai Baba wanted me to come to him, see how….
During My College days:
Time passed quickly and I shifted to Pune to do C-DAC course. I got Alandi Center which is around 7-8 kms away from Pune. Actually Baba called me near to him, around Alandi there is one big temple of Sai Baba, somehow I started going to temple every Thursday, in fact whenever I felt I used to go there.

Here I would tell you since my childhood Baba used to call me to his temples, I just used to go there bow him and come back without thinking why I go to his temples.
My new Job:
Days passed. After finishing my C-DAC I moved to Pune city.

Here Again! Baba called me near to him. Where I moved there was a small temple of Sai where I started going with no reasons and without knowing about his miracles and stories.

It was a recession time in 2002, no one was getting job. People were being kicked off from their current jobs. I prayed to Sai and asked his help to get me a job, by his blessings I got a job, but that job was not so great and I had to do night shifts which were quite horrible. I became very weak and more over my seniors were very rude and partial to me, I prayed Baba again for his blessings and asked him to arrange another job for me and I promised him if I get a good job I will visit his temple everyday and will be his devotee for rest of my life.

Very soon I got another job which was very good, but as some of us do, we forget Baba in our good times so did I. I stopped going to his temple and forgot my promise. But Baba knows how to re-call his Bhakts and remind promises which were made to him.
Married Life and 9 Thursday Sai Vrat Miracle:
I got married in Dec 2006 and soon after got onsite opportunity and moved to London(UK). In April 2007, my married life was not going very well every now and then we used to have fights for every single little thing. Some days later I got a dream where Baba is sitting under the tree and people are queuing to take his blessings, I was one of them in the queue and waiting for my turn, when my turn came I bow to him touched his feet and saw him clearly, but that time I was wondering why I have got this dream and just ignored it.

One day after a big fight I was broken down and very depressed, to distract my mind I started looking for a movie in youtube and suddenly I found Sai Baba movie (the old one which was directed by Manoj Kumar) and started watching it I got so much involved into it, I was very impressed by Sai Baba movie and then I started browsing about him and found out this great website. Where I read people experiences, Sai baba stories etc.

Slowly, slowly my trust towards Sai Baba started growing up. On this same site I read about 9 Thursday vrat puja, I started fasting on Thursday and asked Baba for peace in my married life and and started reading Sai Charitra as well.

Unexpected miracle happened!!!!!!! By Baba’s grace I got peace in my married life and my wife and I changed totally and started to have some understanding and respecting towards each other, and all this happened before finishing 9 vrats!!!!

I can’t tell you how my life was but it was truly Baba’s leela who showed me meaning of life and gave me immense peace.

Now I am Baba’s bhakt and do worship daily and do fasting on every Thursday.

I am very much sure in my last few births I was Baba’s bhakt that is why Baba was calling me nearer to him again and again and it was one of his leela to call me near to him.
I never thought I would become devotee of Sai but once Baba calls to his Bhakt no can stop him, not even Bhakt himself.

Thank you very much Baba for giving me this beautiful life and great family, I am really grateful to you. By your grace and blessings, my wife started respecting me and do participate in your puja.

Please always be with us and guide us through in difficult times.

I love you Baba.

Please make everyone’s married life peace full and keep showering your blessings on all of us.

Baba is great.

p.s: I have some more exciting experiences to share but those will be in my next post.

Jai Shri Ram
Jai Shri Hanuman
Jai Sai Ram
Om Sai Ram

Thanks
Sundeep

Shirdi Sai Baba Bestows Boon - Sai Devotee Dixita

Ways of Lord Sai are not easy to comprehend, instead every act of His surprises us. The same i experienced when i received this mail. I got a chance to meet Sai Dixita ji during early 2009 and i was much happy to receive her mail stating her experience with Sai Baba.

Dixita says: Sai Ram Hetalji,

My name is Dixita Soni. I am from NJ. I came to meet you, I think 2 years ago to collect some CDs for NJ devotees.

I hope everything is going well on your side with Baba's grace. The reason I am writing down today is to share one of my recent experience with our beloved baba.

I believe in baba since my childhood. I have so many experiences with baba to share with you but I think that will need more than 100 emails to narrate. Baba is the superpower who guided me in each and every stage of my life. I strongly believe that whatever I have today is not mine but baba gave me all this happiness with lots of blessings.

I want to share two of recent my experiences with baba.

I couldn't conceive for 2 years. We did not consult any doctor to do the checkups for months because I strongly believed that baba will bless me with a baby. We were not getting a hope because baba was testing us. I believed that whenever baba make us face difficulties and hard time in our life is because he has planned something really good to give us in the future. To get pregnant I did Sai vrats for 2 times, also did satcharitra's parayans, but still did not get any hope. Meanwhile, I also lost my job, I was in really bad situation that I used to cried a lot in front of baba to give me a hope either for a baby or a job. I was praying for a baby and job for months but as usual got no hope. My mother-in-law asked me to consult a doctor for checkups and she took me there but I refused to go for laboratory check ups. Than me and my husband decided to go India to have baba's darshan at Shirdi, and That time we came to your house Hetalji, (I think baba also wanted us to meet!). Before we went to India I did "RangLilamrut's parayan (Rang lilamrut is Rang Avdhoot maharaji's charitra who wrote Dattabavani) after I finish 7 days of parayan, we went to India. We also went to shirdi and after we came back from shirdi I found that I was pregnet while I was in India. Baba took all my pain and sorrow on the day we landed in shirdi and had samadhi darshan.

Today I am blessed with a baby boy who is 11 months old, and let me tell you that the first word he spoke was baba.

My another experience is my job. I was jobless for 2 years, I started applying for a job after my baby was 3 months old. I applied to thousands of jobs but hardly get 2 or 3 interviews. I thought that if I would apply the same way and the same situation persist than I would have no hope to get a job in my field. I asked baba so many times to show me a path and tried to get an answer form the book in which we find baba's answers. So many times baba told me that I will get help from a friend. I was wondering that I do not have many friends in here than who will help me? I couldn't solve the puzzle. I was in such a bad shape that I lost all my hopes to get a job, but one day my manager, from the company in which I used to work, called me to join back in her team at corporate head quarters. They did not take my interview because they already know my experience and qualifications and the hiring process got done in just one day. Baba was right in his answers that I will get help from a friend and My manager who was also my friend helped me to get a job. My new job is only 15 minutes away from my house so now I can spend more time with my baby. Only my baba can do this for me.

All I want to say is baba always listens our prayers, but will always test us before he showers his blessings.

Shirdi sai nath aapako koti koti pranam.

Hetalji I am requesting you to correct any mistake you find in this email because I am writing you this from my work in hurry, and there is possibilities of mistakes.

Sai ram
Dixita

Baba Helps Those Who Are In Need - Sai Devotee Sri Vidya

Sharing in this post experience of Sai sister Sri Vidya ji.

Sri Vidya ji says: Uninterestingly i started worshiping Baba and now became the devotee of Baba after facing miracles. My mother is a big devotee of sai baba. And I am a big devotee of Lord Shiva. During my school days, i used to tease my mom when ever I see baba in tv or in any poster on wall. I didnt believe him or treat him at all as a god.

Later I joined for Intermediate in Hostel in a far place from my home town. My room mates used to sing Shej aarthi every thursday. Due to their force i also used to join them uninterestedly. Gradually, that aarthi became by-heart and i used to sing when ever i feel like just like any film song. I used to think that every thing is fake except lord shiva.

After my engineering, during my job search, i used to clear written tests but some way or other i was failing in interviews and not getting job. Then i remembered one thing. My neighbour aunty told one day that her son used to read sai saccharithra every day and he got selected in IIT. So i also started reading it from then every day. But still i was in guilt that i am ignoring lord shiva. But in one chapter i saw that baba told to one shiva devotee megashyam that he and baba are same. Even then i didnt believe baba but blindly read his stories. And finally big day came I got selected for big MNC. And you know i got job on my favourite day karthika somavar(Monday).i.e, though i worshiped baba in getting job, he gave me job on shiva's day. Not only that from then when ever i pray baba, he used to show me the results only on monday (shiva's day). This made me to believe strongly that baba and shiva are both same and to add to that when i visited shirdi i saw nandi in front of baba which made me clear.

Its almost 4 years i started worshiping him and I experienced lot many miracles and the journey is continuing. When ever i call him he responds. He became a friend and soul mate to me.

One recent miracle worth to mention.

I accepted one match for my marriage uninterestedly. Engagement was also done. I was unable to express this to my family members. Though my heart didnt accept him, I had only one belief that baba will do everything for good. Better than what we expect and i kept quiet. But the day of my marriage was coming nearer. So one day i went to sai baba temple and sat infront of baba. I talked with him virtually. "Why baba why you selected that guy for me. I had lot of faith on you and I had lot of desires about my married life but why you selected a person whom i cant accept as my husband. And i dont have anything in my hands now as engagement is over and marriage date is very nearer. But i dont want to blame you because you did lot for me till now for that itself i was fully satisfied but at least do me a small favour-Give me natural death before my marriage date. Because if i commit suicide my family will lose respect. Rather than that please give me natural death by say road accident or by some dangerous disease". I prayed like this and left the temple.

Next day morning my brother in law (my elder sister's husband) called me saying that he doubted about the job of this guy and seemed to be a fraud. Even then i didnt reveal my disliking about him to my brother in law. Only my family members discussed about it and they canceled the marriage. After then only i cried infront of them and revealed my disinterest and dislike about him. They also cried with me. I thanked baba million times.

And now still i am unmarried. No proper proposal is coming. My age is also increasing. I had great passion about marriage and married life but dont know why baba is still testing me. Now I got chicken pox and i am on sick leave. My parents are also depressed about me. These days baba is very silent. Dont know what wrong i did. My friends are suggesting me to worship lord subrahmanya, Lord Dattathreya, Lord Ganesha etc. But I am not able to pray others other than baba alias shiva. Hope one day he will shower his blessings. This poor devotee is waiting with shradhha and saburi.

But dear friends one more thing to share with you is:: In my opinion,the definition for Unlucky is "Those who wont believe baba are UNLUCKY".

Pray baba just pray baba and you will also become a participant of this blog rather than as a reader experiencing lot many miracles.

Last but not least simple miracle - My net is very poor in accessing and disconnects very frequently especially during this time. But when i thought to share my views in this blog. From then on its not at all disconnecting since an hour.

May baba bless you all with happiness which as usual he does.

Om sai sri sai jaya jaya sai.

Sri sacchidananda sadguru sainath maharaj ki jai.

My Life Experiences With Shri Shirdi Sai Baba - Sai Devotee Shiva

Sharing experience of Sai brother Shiva ji.

Shiva ji says: This is a short story of life listing all the miracles I and my family have experienced in our lives. Kindly forgive us for any mistakes. Jai Sai Ram!!!

Om Sai Ram! Where to start my story. My association with Shirdi Sai Natha started way back in 1997 I guess. I was fortunate to know him through my class mate. Ever since I have been hooked to Sai. There were/will be many miracles in my life that happened since then. Most of them were my wishes which became true.

  • In college:
    I had an infatuation with one of my classmates. She was beautiful, but that should not give me the right to have the passion towards her. She gave me Sai prasad in class one day out of devotion to Sai. I misunderstood her and thought she must be having some feelings for me. But, that day has turned around my life. Till then I have not been devout to God. But my life journey has entirely changed since accepting the prasad from Sai.

    I tried to give her Sai prasad 2 to 3 times after wards but she did not accept it. One day, I went to Sai Baba temple and prayed to Baba that she accept my prasad in class on that day. It became true. My joy had no bounds. Probably for the best of both us, We did not get into any affair during college days. My association with her ended there.

  • Career:
    I have been rejected Student visa for US twice. I was losing confidence in me as a result. My mother and myself prayed to Sai that I get the visa for USA.

    Thanks to Sai for granting me the visa to USA. With his grace only it was possible to come to USA.

    During my MS, I was struggling to get part time job to support my studies. Then I prayed to Sai weeping myself to the core to provide me a job so that I could support myself. Since then, Sai gave me not one but continuous supply of jobs simultaneously sometimes and one after another other times. After my studies, I have been able to get the job to work here in US by Sai Grace only.

  • Trip to India:
    I have prayed to Sai, to allow me back to USA by approving my visa. I still remember that day, I have become very emotional and seeking Sai's blessings for the trip. Thanks to Sai! My trip to India was very successful.

  • Marriage:
    I made a short trip to India to finalize the girl. Luckily I was able to meet the person who herself is a Sai devotee. I prayed to Sai to make her my life partner. With His grace only I was able to marry her. I thank Sai very much for this!

  • After marriage:
    My wife told me to read Sai Satcharitra to increase my devotion to Sai. This is the second turning point in my life. After reading the Sat Charitra I was totally hooked to Sai. Ever since I have been looking for more ways to get more info about Sai. I thank my wife for this. My life has attained more meaning since then.

  • Child birth:
    My wife faced pregnancy complications during her first pregnancy. Doctors told us that the survival chance of the baby is only 50%. But we prayed to Sai to keep her and baby safe. I still remember the day when our daughter was born, I was praying nonstop during the entire labor 'Sai..Sai..Sai..' with so many emotions in my mind during my Wife's labor. She was also doing the same. Sai granted us with a beautiful baby girl. My wife had Maha Darshan of Sai right after the child birth in the labor room. She saw Sai on all the lights in the labor room. What more can you ask for right after having a baby?

  • Sai's darshan:
    I had darshan of Sai in my house on the stair case, in my dreams, he came to me once and asked 'understand?' right after reading Bhagavad Gita. He meant that 'did I understand about life after reading Bhagavad Gita?'

  • Financial problems:
    Many a times he helped us when we were in financial problems. I cant list all the specifics here.

  • Green card:
    I prayed to Sai to approve our green card applications for permanent stay in US. I have read Sri Sai Leelamrutham by Sri Ekkirala Bharadwaja Master (Sai Master) within a week. Within couple of days after reading Sat Charitra, my wife's and mine green card applications were approved. It is truly a great miracle in our lives.
My life has changed for ever! I am fortunate to have his blessings. Blessed are all of us who got His vision (may be not completely yet).

Om Sai Sree Sai Jai Jai Sai!!!

Sai devotee.
