While i was reading this edited post for publishing it yesterday (June 29, 2011), i was reminded of my latest experience which i had been through. In one of the posts, i had mentioned that i am pursuing a computer course of advanced graphics and web-designing which would make me more efficient in blog work. Never i was knowing that Lord Sai Baba had a very different plan for me. Being post graduate in business administration, my family members wanted me to do job. I was reluctant to take up any because i felt in such case i would not be able to cope with Lord Baba's work which has always been my priority.

In the beginning of this month, a campus interview was conducted in the institution. I am at half-way of completing course, so i was not qualified for the interview, but was considered on request. With four rounds of interview including technical test, i was not at all expecting any placement. They were looking for experienced candidates and i was not only inexperienced, i did not even complete the required software as a part of my curriculum. In this scenario i have certainly not given any exam for the same (now it is scheduled for next week, i wish Lord Sai Baba helps me in it) and there was no platform through which my work and assignments can be evaluated. A single technical test was their judgement barometer. Many others from our institute were interviewed and everyone seemed to be better than me. After giving test, for about five days there was no communication from company's side. I thought some other might be recruited. With grace of Lord Baba i have jumped into a work of free-lance nature about which it will be declared soon and was making myself believe that i must be neutral even if i was not selected as i already had work in my hand. To my surprise, i received offer-letter via mail from them. I was happy to know that they considered me and offered a very reputed position of "Graphic Designer" which i never even dreamt of with unexpected salary as a fresher. I have joined the company now and just trying to settle down and learn the norms therein. All this i presume was wish of Lord Baba and i absolutely ahere to His wish keeping my wishes to the minimum level :)

Sorry for writing lengthy introduction. Let's now see experience of an anonymous Sai devotee.

Anonymous Devotee from India says: I am sharing you my experience with Shirdi Sai Baba. How He has been always with me in tough times and how He blessed me for my good deeds. PLEASE DO NOT DISCLOSE MY NAME AND MAIL ID.

Today I am sharing my experience with you all. I started worshiping Sai Baba from early 2009 onwards. At the same time, I got admission for post graduation, which started in July 2009. Before this I was really disappointed as I resigned from my first two jobs and that too within two months of my joining. All this happened before I met Sai Baba. And when I started worshiping Sai Baba, I got confidence in myself and got a direction to walk in my life.

Reading experiences always leaves some effect on us. After going through such experiences one dives deep into faith of Lord Sai Baba. While working here, compiling all experiences, reading and posting them, such things are certainly experienced. Similar are experiences of readers and devotees. Below are few experiences which are throwing light on the fact that no adversities or calamities are needed for Lord Baba to show His blessings. They come simply as our heart wishes.

Sai Baba’s Blessing

Anonymous Devotee from India says: Jai Sai Ram Hetal ji, it’s truly said about you that you are Hemadpant of today's Generation. My Namaskar to you too. I always read all devotees experiences and feel happy and blessed and all thanks to you. I would like to share today my own experience of Sai with me. If any mistake in my writing please correct them and forgive me. Thank you.

During my daughter's 12th entrance exams, I always use to read Shri Sai Satcharitra. That was last year in 2010. Once after she finished her all exams, we visited Sai temple near Alandi. I always ask Baba that I want to see You as You are a surprise my daughter. We were standing in Queue and one old fellow with Dhotar and Kamiz and white cloth tied on his head came near me and handed one small photo of Sai in my hand. I got so scared thinking that it’s not possible, it’s not Sai, and how can it be with me. I am not good person that He came to me. I was being scared to turn and see where that man came from. Somehow, I took courage to turn and see, but it was late to see and I couldn’t see Him. I was in full tears and said sorry for not to recognize Him (Sai). He always helped me in my sad days and cheered me.

When we are following Lord Sai Baba, we need to follow Him by giving two paisa - Shraddha and Saburi. Even if we say that these two paisa are not with us, they come to us naturally, in fact given by Him only and then again asked for. Below three experiences essentially illustrates importance of these two paisa.

Sai Mera Saaya Sahaara

Sai Sister Rukmini ji from India says: This is the true and real life experience I want to share. I lost my locket and necklace that was ancestral and for many generations. Sai gave me the true essence of Saburi through this miracle.

I remember that I last wore the necklace and saw the pendant in Dec 2010. Suddenly on one fine day, in March 2011, I was looking for both the necklace and the pendant. It was missing from the almirah. I knew very well that i didn’t wear both and the box was also missing. I cried the whole day and night and was praying to Baba & Maa Mangala. My daughter and emptied the whole almirah and every cupboard in the house. No traces. I had no food and was crying all night consecutively for 3 days. I started reading Sai Leelas from Ambrosia and Shri Sai Satcharitra.

We always utter these words, "Lord Sai Baba is great and even greater are His deeds". All of us must have experienced this while being in love with Him. Below experience of Sai sister Madhavi ji explains this in more detail. Really i feel that she is a blessed soul and through her experience we can understand how to completely surrender ourselves to our Lord.

Sai Sister Madhavi ji says: Dear Hetal Ji, Om Sai Ram I really appreciate your work. You are doing a great job. Baba's miracles are amazing. I think Baba chose you as a modern Hemand Pant, who is gathering all the devotees experiences and being directed by our lovely Baba to publish them. You are truly blessed by Him. May Baba bless you and all the Sai Devotees.

A year ago, I didn’t know about this blog, but now I am an ardent reader of this blog. It’s a miracle actually, how I came across this blog. Baba showed me this blog to give a great experiences He used this blog to create many doubts and to clear them with devotee experiences. And finally He made me to promise Him to publish my experiences. So I promised to Him, I will share whatever experiences You gave it to me.

Hetal ji, my journey with Sai Maa started in 2003. I already shared my first three experiences with you all. Today I am sharing my fourth experience. It’s very lengthy one, so I am sending in word document. Please publish this in your blog, because I promised Sai Maa, I will share it to everyone.

In this experience, Baba showed each moment of my life with His presence. In 2009 Dec 25th, we met a major car accident. I, my husband and my 5 year old daughter were traveling to somewhere. Before this happened, past 3 days, I mean Dec 22, 23, 24, whenever I am going out, this was happening to me with my car like unexpected accident symptoms. I was just getting rescued from that. On 24th Dec night, I discussed with my husband, we need to be careful while driving the car. I don’t know I am getting little fear. Next day morning, we started traveling from my place to Atlanta. Usually where ever I go, I used to carry Baba book with me. So around 8:30 AM, we started and that time it was light showers. After traveling for 20 min, we were in interstate and it was a very heavy rain with no visibility at all and I was very scare and asked my husband to pull the car. He tried but breaks failed we didn’t know what was going on. I just prayed Baba, please save my husband and give the punishment to me. Then our car went and hit the other accidental car. My husband was safe and I got hurt badly. My both legs were fractured and my intestine was damaged and my little daughter also got hurt in her arms.

So I and my daughter admitted in different hospitals. My husband stayed with my daughter and my friends helped me. On Dec 31, we discharged from there and once I came back to home I put Deepas to Baba and thanked Him to rescue from that major incident. Here is a miracle, my husband is safe as my wish and I got hurt badly even though for me all recoverable injuries and little one also fine. So for me it took 3 months time to get back to normal. Now I am walking as usual. From Jan 1st new year, I started reading Shri Sai Satcharitra.

In His eleven assurances, Lord Sai Baba has said, "If you cast your burden on Me, I shall surely bear it." This has certainly proved to be a truth in life of every Sai Devotee. The same is the experience of Sai sister Aradhana ji.

Sai Sister Aradhana ji from India says: Hi Hetal Ji, Please post my experience in this blog. This is my earning in the 30 years of my life.

I really do not know how to start the story. We are followers of Satya Sai Baba and Shirdi Sai Baba. My only son, who was born as a lactose intolerant baby and had to suffer a lot since day 1 after his birth was miraculously cured by just a darshan of Sri Satya Sai Baba. We started reading and finding out more and more about Baba. A friend of mine gifted me a Shri Sai Satcharitra and told regarding the parayans. And that is the point where my journey towards Baba started. I did the parayans one after the other and every time I got my problems resolved to a large extent. This strengthened my belief on my Sai more and more. Nitya parayan is a part of my daily pooja now. Things were going fine until 2010 July.

One day we got a call from my mother in law saying that my Father-In-Law has got jaundice. Though we were upset to hear this ailment at the age of 67 is definitely not a good sign. But we never apprehended anything worse than this. My husband who is the only son, flew down to his native with the intention to get his father to Bangalore, so that we can take better care of him here. The day before they were supposed to come back to Bangalore, the scanning reveled FIL’s critical condition and confirmed that he was having Gall Bladder cancer, which was already in the last stage and doctors were predicting his life span in days that to not more than 1-2 weeks. My husband helplessly took him to the bests of doctors in TATA Memorial and then consulted all possible docs in Bangalore also. But no one had any different opinion. Our prayer to Sai that time was not curing him, but to not make his suffer much and just to delay his separation for some days, so that at least we can do our duties for him and serve him to our heart’s content. This prayer was accepted and to the surprise of the doctor, challenging and defying all the medical reports he stayed with us for 4 more months. And he breathed his last peacefully.

Few more brief experiences are shared here. Two of them are pure experiences and the last one is of a questioning devotee whom the readers might give some advice so it is being shared.

Sai Baba Miracles and dream appearances

Sai Devotee from USA says: Dear Hetal Ji, Om Sai Ram. Please do not disclose my email ID. I have been reading your blog since more than a year now. I have always known Sai Baba, since my childhood. But, I started reading about Him fair recently. To be honest, I came close to Sai baba, because I had a desire, which I was desperate on getting fulfilled. I needed a job to fulfill my dream to work in the US. But mysterious are His ways to pull His devotees towards Him. Now I feel that job was only an excuse to become a devotee of Sai Baba. I am really grateful for all that He has bestowed on me. I am immensely thankful to you for this blog; it has helped keep me connected to Sai Baba.

We never know when Lord Sai Baba comes to us and injects in us so much strength that we all left spell-bound to understand happenings. Below are few such examples of Lord Sai Baba's grace.

Visit To Sai Temple

Sai Devotee from India says: Om Shree Sai Ram, I am a believer of Sai Baba. I started to believe in Him for the last two years. I read Shri Sai Satcharitra daily one chapter. I feel from my inner self that one day I will see Him and I will get the supreme bliss.

I am working as an engineer; recently I visited Nasik in connection with a testing of some equipment. The available time for us was very less since we have to install the equipment and commission in a short time. Before going for this job, I went to nearby Sai temple and took His blessings and I felt that, Baba told me that everything will go on well and you go ahead.

I and my colleague reached Nasik and we went to the office from where we have to do the testing and dispatch the item. When we reached there, we found that there is lot of mismanagement in the entire process and it looked very difficult for us to do the job in the limited time. I and my friend earlier thought of going to Shirdi temple also. But after reaching there, we thought it may not be possible as we have to spend our time in the factory itself.

I received a mail from Sai Sister Lavanya ji describing miracles at Shibpur Sai Baba Mandir. She has covered full introduction which i may have given here. So instead of duplicating the introduction i am straight away sharing her mail and other details. However i missed her mail last Thursday and she wished that it should be shared here on Thursday itself, i apologise to post it lately.

---

Sai Sister Lavanya ji from USA says: Hi Hetal ji, How are you doing? I (One among the other few devotees) have received a mail from Shibpur Sai Temple about few miracles. I thought the best thing would be when it reaches millions of Sai Devotees. So I am posting the mail below. I know the site rules of FIRST COME FIRST SERVE, but if you have any possibility, please post it tomorrow on Thursday. There is also a request to the Sai devotees from Amit ji regarding a new thought in Shibpur, which I received in a separate mail. I am adding it here in the same mail. I hope I didn't do any mistake in posting it here.

May Baba bless all of us.

Miracles Of Sai Baba At Shibpur Sai Baba Mandir

Sairam Devotees, Please read the below DIVINE LEELAS and MIRACLES happening at the SHIBPUR SAI MANDIR. You will be AMAZED to see how Baba is showing HIS PRESENCE there.

• A resident of Shibpur, who has his own house just adjacent to the Shibpur temple, was observing a wired light in the temple, when it was dark night around 2-3 AM and there was no one in the temple. He once thought that it might be a thief in the temple and observed the same thing happening the next night as well. This time he decided to go into the temple in that night hour and follow the light. As he entered the temple, he still saw the light as if someone is showing him a torch like light. He once started to follow that light and while following the light he could smell a very beautiful and sweet smell, a smell where he has not seen it in anytime of his life, it was like away from this world. This is what he narrated to Amit ji. He feels that it was Baba walking around in the temple and only He could give out such nectar like fragrance.

Who says Lord Sai Baba has taken Mahasamadhi and is not amongst us? He has not left this earth to get settled in heaven. Even after leaving earthly body, He is active in spirit and giving darshan to aspirants even today. The last experience proves it. Read on and you shall understand why i and the devotee thinks so. The two other experiences are equally interesting.

Visit to Shirdi

Sai Brother Ravikaanth ji from India says: I am a Software Engineer from Bangalore India.

Om Sai Ram, I had been to Shirdi two weeks ago. Before leaving, I had lost my ATM Card. But when I called the bank, I found that it was not sent. But in the evening, I got the Card at my disposal due to Blessing of Baba. Similar at Shirdi, after the Kakad Arathi, I was not able to take the holy water, as there were 200 people at least and I had a major surgery and hence I asked the security that is it possible for me to go and take and he said no and the next minute in the form of Baba gave me the holy water.

Om Sai Ram

Sai Baba Knows What Is Best For Us

Anonymous Devotee says: Sai Ram Hetal, I have been reading everyone’s experiences with Baba and I simply love reading them all. I would like to thank you for starting this blog, where we all can share our experiences with Baba. Although, I have also come across lots of miracles with Baba, but never got the chance to write them. However this time I had promised myself that once my wish would be fulfilled I would post it on the blog.

I had been waiting to send you this email since long but was waiting for the right time. However, I would want you to please keep my name anonymous on the blog.

Dear Sai Readers, i hope you are liking new look of this blog. The transition was completed in just one day which seemed really impossible while passing through hectic schedule. All i can say is that it was totally wish of Lord Sai Baba and certainly it was not possible without His grace. I wish you all find this new look more user-friendly with ease to browse to any experiences posted from day one. I am eagerly waiting for your comments on this transition too!

In Shri Sai Satcharitra we have read various unique ways used by Lord Sai Baba to save lives of His devotees. Today also incidents of such sort are seen and the second experience reveals the same.

My Real Experience With Shree Shirdi Sai Baba

Sai Sister Rani ji from India says: I am a senior executive in a financial institution. I am a strong devotee of Sri Ganesh, Lord Shree Shirdi Sai Baba, Sri Venakateswara Swamy, Sri Laxmi Narasimha Swamy and other GODS.

However due to my ill luck, I was jailed for the loans granted against forged documents, which I was not aware. The concerned Judge was an upright person and I was told by the other under trials that Bail was out of question for at least 3 months. But I was having total belief on Lord Shree Shirdi Sai Baba of getting bail. However my first bail application was rejected and second one I applied after 14 days. During this period I performed Sai Parayanam (Shri Sai Satcharitra) for one week in the Jail and offered sweets (Chikki available in Jail canteen) and distributed to one and all in barracks. I Prayed to the Lord Shree Shirdi Sai Baba, as to If bail is not granted this time, I will never visit Lord Shree Shirdi Sai Baba Temple in my life, but will perform Annadanam Seva at Sai temples and will not see the Lord Shree Shirdi Sai Baba.

Finally the Lord Shree Shirdi Sai Baba listened to my prayers and the bail was granted, which was signed by the Honorable Judge at 6.40 PM on Thursday i.e. Lord Shree Shirdi Sai Baba day. Though my case is still under preliminary stage, but with the blessings of Lord Shree Shirdi Sai Baba, I am confident of coming out of the case with flying colors.

Customs were designed long ago with a view to providing a standpoint to certain things. Following these customs since so long has made them rigid and the minds of people as well. But can these customs be above Lord Sai Baba's love for His devotee daughter? The answer is hidden in below experience.

Anonymous Devotee says: Sairam Hetalji, I would like to share this picture which I did (some) edit using paint to keep as my desktop wallpaper at office; please could you upload the same photo while posting my experience with our Saideva.

Baba has called me again. I am going to Shirdi for Ramnavmi celebrations.

It was a long wait and desire to share with all His devotees my experience with my beloved Sai (my father). I lost my father when I was 4 yrs old. I got to know about our Saideva about 2003 mid. I became very close to Saideva and started treating Him like my father from 2006. Since then I always share with my Saideva everything (joys and sorrow). Even if I buy earrings, bindi, nail polish, whatever little things, I buy, firstly I will place in front of Him and tell Him see I have brought this earring for me is it nice. I would like to share with all, that, in my mind and soul He is my father and my grandparents (because I don’t have any of them).

This is my recent experience with my Saideva which happened in December 29th 2010.

Herewith below are few more brief experiences of devotees with Lord Sai Baba. The first experience is not particularly an incident of grace but a devotee is questioning Lord Sai for mercy. Let us all pray for devotee and her family's well being to Lord Sai Baba.

Brother's Death

Sai Sister Usha ji from India says: I belong to a staunch family believing Sai as our BABA. Sai didn’t save my brother. My 30 year old brother died on 31 Dec 2010. We all struggled to come up in life after my father left us at a young age. He became the man in the house and protected my mom and us from 12 yrs of age. I do not know why Baba gave us this cruel treatment. We lost him forever, he was a brilliant guy, and engineer but he didn’t see any happiness professionally or personally. He never got what he wanted. Why did Baba not help us, we believed Him so staunchly. Even the night, he went to the hospital, he showered, prayed and applied UDI only to return dead. Why didn’t Sai save my brother? We are not sure what mistake we did that Sai is seeing our family to suffer this misery. Baba, please have mercy, reham nazar karo Sai. Please take care of my family.

Sai's Miracle

Sai Sister Lalitha ji from USA says: Dear friends, I don’t know how to express my gratitude to our beloved God SAIBABA. I would like to share one of the miracles which I experienced in my life.

Life of Lord Sai Baba's devotees is always full of surprises. Whatever one may think, come to him/her as surprise, even if we forget or do not disclose to anyone, our thoughts are made true. The second experience posted is of same sort to the one who has posted it and to me also. Few pictures were shared by the devotee of her experience and i was surprised to see picture of SAI TERE HAZAARON NAAM Cd Cover among pictures of all other deities. This shows how much popular is this album and so is my Sai brother Rana Gill too!. You can follow the link if you wish to download bhajans of the same album. Two other touching experiences are also shared.

Baba Pulled Me Out From The Jaws Of Death

Sai Devotee NSPL ji from USA says: It was during October 2009, I started feeling some kind of restlessness unable to focus, very impatient, very irritable, some kind of high blood pressure, very stressed due to no apparent reason.

During the weekend, evening, I went short drive with my family, and returned back home soon. I started feeling severe migraine headache, slowly it increased and worst by the minute, I wriggled in pain, unable to sleep, tossing, and moaning in my bedroom. My wife put Baba's UDI on my fore-head, and worried as to do, maybe need to call some friends to rush me to the doctor.

After sometime, I came down to my family room lie down on the sofa, in front of small temple, where we have Baba's photo with other gods. I asked my wife to give me a glass of water with Baba's UDI mixed in it.

I was still having severe headache, never felt that much headache in my lifetime. I thought I would PASS AWAY that night. In a last attempt to save myself, I got up to sitting position in the sofa, thinking of Baba, and my head got tossed back, with eyes closed. I thought I was gone.

BUT SUDDENLY, I felt Baba's hand in front of my closed eyes pulling me out of the JAWS OF DEATH...sudden divine hand. I kept my eyes close for few seconds, slowly breathing. Then I slowly I opened my eyes, I started feeling better, and the headache started reducing slowly. I felt a new life was poured into me and started thanking Baba. And in about 30-45 minites, my headache was almost gone. It was almost 10:30PM and I had very mild dinner and slept off.

Incidents whether big or small, makes us feel presence of Lord Sai Baba on every step of our life. Lets go through few more experiences today.

Sai Baba Got Me A Job As Well As He Cured My Father

Sai Sister Sudhalakshmi ji from India says: Thank you Hetal ji for your support. God bless you and all the Sai devotees.

I resigned my job due to personal problem. After I resigned only, I felt I have done a mistake, but tried job at so many places. I couldn't get. I started Nine Thursday Vrat of Sai Baba, and during 7th week itself I joined my earlier company with slightly lesser pay. Still I was very happy that I got the job. I know Baba is with me always and I cannot imagine a life without Baba.

Another incident is about my father. He is 83 years old and he is not well. Doctor has said that he will live for one week only. I was very worried and prayed Baba that he should not suffer with pain until his life. He should be active. Baba answered my prayers and he is well now and on his own.

Sai Maharaj Ki Jai

Passport Lost and Found - Saved In Japan Eearthquake

Sai Sister Nisha ji from Canada says: Thank you Hetal ji for this blog. I wanted to share Baba's experience from a long time and finally Baba has permitted me to do so.

My first introduction to Baba was in 2006 through my sister in-law in California, when she did the Sai-vrat and gave me a copy of the book. I was returning to Malaysia and had a transit via Taipei. I was having high fever at that time, but had to return as I had to get back to my job. While waiting in Taipei airport to board my flight, I dozed off as I was sick and when I woke up my handbag with my passport had gone missing. I was too worried and started searching for it frantically. I had no money, no ticket, no passport and I was stuck in a place where hardly anyone spoke English. But, I had Baba's picture with me on the cover of the book, my bhabhi gave me. In my desperation I prayed to Baba. After more than an hour of running around and reporting to airport police, a lady actually walked up to me and handed me the bag. Everything was intact. The only thing missing was Malaysian currency. Surprisingly, my US dollars were not touched. How kind Baba was that in my first encounter with Him, He showed me His leela and my trust in Him became as firm as rock. When I landed in Malaysia, I found Baba's temple, got a copy of Shri Sai Satcharitra and believe in Him since. Baba showed me many experiences after that and has helped me cope with many hardships including my mother's death.

Lord Sai Baba sometimes raises such situations just to let us know what can happen by chanting His name continuously. Such an experience is shared below by an anonymous devotee.

Anonymous Devotee from Malaysia says: My dearest father, please forgive for the delay in posting this experience.

Sai Ram to all beloved devotees.

Today I would like to share my heartfelt experience and proof to you that Baba always and will listen to all our cries at any point of time. Actually I don’t know how to start this experience. I have been typing and deleting it few times already now.

Well, my son was born with few complications. I apologize for not elaborating my son’s illness here because I strongly believe deep down in my heart that my son is an extremely healthy boy. I strongly believe my son is a gift from Baba HIMSELF as I vowed to Him for a baby boy and He did give it to me. In fact, my pregnancy was only confirmed after finishing the Sai Satcharitra Parayan. And most of the times, I will go to Baba temple after work and ask for His blessings and mercy.

My son had to go for an eye surgery at the tender age of 1.5 months. I can never be able to express with words what I went through. I felt like the universe has turned me down. All I can say is I was half dead. This was when my beloved darling friend cum sister, Malini, told me about Veena Ma and requested me to speak to Veena Ma about my son and ask for her blessings. I called our darling Veena Ma. And I send prayers to her every week for to pray for my son.
