Devotees never know when they are blessed by Lord Sai Baba and come to His fold. But realising this, the new-born devotee never fails to sing his/her Lord's glory. This is what is said by Sai sister Neetu ji in the below experience.

Sai Sister Neetu ji from USA says: Dear Hetal Ji, Thank you very much for giving all Sai devotees a wonderful platform to share their personal experiences with others and making their faith deeper in holy feet of Sri Sai Baba. Baba’s Leelas are infinite and His love and kindness for His children are unconditional. My shallow writing is incapable of depicting His grace and divinity for His devotees. It is just an attempt to express my gratitude and faith in Baba’s holy feet for His motherly love for all of us.

I am worshiping Sai Baba for about two years. How I became Baba’s devotee is a miracle to me itself. No one in my immediate family or relative ever worshiped Sai Baba. But when I was a small kid, I had once read Baba’s story of lighting deepaks with water in some story book. I had read hundreds of stories in Nandan, Champak and other comic books as a kid and forgot them. I don’t know why, but I never forgot this particular story even after I grew up. I did not know anything about Baba’s life or Shirdi temple other then this particular story. I belong to eastern part of India and had never been to Bombay before. I had never worked in India when I was there like any other girl in my family. It wasn’t very much encouraged in our family.

Sharing few more experiences which read with true devotion, will re-affirm faith of all in Lord Sai Baba.

Baba Showed Me His Intense Love For Me

Sai Sister Parul ji from India says: Jai Sai Ram to all near and dear Sai Devotees. I want to share through this blog that how my Baba (father) maintained my dignity in front of everyone on the occasion of Sai Sandhya at our home and proved to my parents, family and other relatives that He is with His daughter (me) and watching her.

It was started on September 2010, when suddenly a thought of organizing Sai Kirtan at our home stroke into my mind. I decided to spend my saved pocket money for this. But I only had 3100 to spend. So I decided to organize small Kirtan. But actually Baba wanted to have a big Sai Sandhya. All of my family members were against me as they said what the fun of having Kirtan at home is. You can worship Baba by just sitting in temple and organizing Kirtan will cost too much. But still somehow, I was determined to have Kirtan at home out of my love for Baba. Baba wanted to have big Sai Sandhya, so that He can come and prove His love for His daughter.

Lord Sai Baba always take care of His kids and following three brief experiences are a proof of it.

Blessed With A Baby Boy

Anonymous Devotee from USA says: We currently live in USA. We want to share one among 100s of miracles that we have experienced so far because of Sai. Hetal ji, please do not disclose my name and email id.

We were expecting a baby boy on June 30th, 2011. We had scheduled a C Section on that date, since it was a Thursday. Our first son was also born on Thursday and we have named him as Samarth. Since he is blessing from Sai, we wanted our second child also to be born on Thursday. But on June 11 Night, my wife started experiencing pain and pain was continued till 2 AM. Finally, we went to the hospital and with Baba's blessing Baby Boy was born on June 12th early morning at 6.38 AM. Since the due date was still ahead by at least 3 weeks, we were concerned about the premature birth. But by Baba's grace, baby was normal and weighed normal. We are Thankful to Baba although we had wished that he be born on a Thursday. But it’s still ok if Baba's grace is there on the child.

Below is very interesting incident which certainly assures all of us that Lord Sai Baba knows what is best for us and this we always fail to realise. Read on you will get to know how this lady realised this truth.

Anonymous Devotee from NZ says: Dear Hetal ji, Thanks for this lovely blog, which always gives me more confident and courage. Herewith, I am sharing one of my recent experiences. I want to call myself SAI DAUGHTER (I want to remain anonymous please, so please don’t display my name or email ID). Sorry for the long story, since I don’t want to miss anything. I am sure this will give some confident and courage to other devotees (who are waiting for Baba’s grace for long time to fulfill their wishes). Remember, Baba knows what is good for us and He knows what the best time to fulfill the wishes is. So please keep faith in Him and keep praying our beloved Baba. Baba, please forgive me if I miss anything here or make any mistakes in narrating this experience. Hetal ji, if possible, I humbly request you to display the photo which I have attached with this experience. This is my favorite photo of Baba.

I came to know about Baba when I was in my 11th standard. I shared that experience in this blog earlier. In this story, I am going to narrate the recent experience which gave me strong faith in our beloved Baba.

This is an experience which will confirm faith of devotees and for new ones here is a start.

Anonymous Devotee from USA says: Dear Hetal, Thank you for creating this blog. It gives immense pleasure to read devotees experiences here. Here, I am writing my experience with Shirdi Sai Baba.

I came across Shirdi Sai Baba while casually browsing on the internet. I read devotees experiences and got to know about Shri Sai Satcharitra. I started reading it just like a story book without giving much thought to it. But I was somehow attracted to Sai. I watched Sai movies and serial on internet. I felt like visiting Shirdi Sai temple here in USA. But unfortunately there are no Sai temples here nearby where we live. I had few small experiences on Thursdays. I was delighted and thought that Sai is real God and has accepted me. So I planned to visit Sai temple with my husband. We drove more than two hours, but unfortunately the temple was closed. I had read that Baba will call you only, if He wants to. So I thought that Baba did not want me to visit Him. Then, we left but to my surprise He made us visit Shri Nath ji temple on our way unexpectedly.

In today's post, three experiences are shared which assure that Lord Sai Baba confirms His devotees' faith from time to time.

Sai Baba's Blessings

Anonymous Devotee from USA says: Hi Hetal Ji, Firstly, I want to thank you for the wonderful work you do. Whenever I feel sad and need inspiration or need to confirm my belief, I come to your blog. I want to post my experience as I promised to Baba that I will post my experience as soon as I will have His blessings. Please don't post my name and email id.

We have been married for few years now. But because of misfortune/bad karma we had 2 miscarriages in 2 consecutive years. We both were very sad with this. We are devotee of Baba, but we have to go long way as compared to many others on this blog. We started praying, reading Sai Satcharitra, fasting on Thursday. Baba is so kind He blessed us third time.

Sai Sister Kruti ji shares one of her experience in which she has narrated how Lord Sai Baba saved her from sickness.

Sai Sister Kruti ji from UK says: Hi Hetal ji, Jai Sai Ram.

You are doing an excellent work by providing such a good platform for Sai Devotees to share their experiences and bringing them more closely to Lord Sai Baba. May all your dream comes true.

I believe in Lord Sai since last many years. I have experienced innumerable experiences until now. I would like to share one of my latest experiences with Lord Sai how He showed me His presence and make me feel comfortable.

I got married in 2009 and since then I am staying in UK. I visited India this year in March and came back in May with my son who is 14 months old (He was born on Baba's day). We were both fine during our visit in India and enjoyed a lot.

Sai Sister Swetha ji from UK wishes to share one of her dreams in which Lord Sai Baba gives her message. This message is not only for her, but for all of us too.

---

Sai Sister Swetha ji from UK says: Hello Hetal Ji, Thanks for the opportunity to share my experience of Baba to all the devotees. I should say that you are blessed twice for every blessing as every devotee will also bless you along with the saying Sai Baba bless you. Coming to me, I am Swetha Dodda, a simple 'Devotee' of the Universal Father 'Sai Baba', living in UK. You could mention my details on your blog not a problem.

By Baba's grace, I have started reading 'Sai Leelamrutham' and 'Sri Guru Charitra' every night before going to bed since 01-01-2011. Last night (09-06-11, Thursday), I read about Sai Baba appearing as Lord Dattatreya, Hanuman and Shree Rama to His devotees. I suddenly got a doubt that how could this happen? How Sai Baba's face turned into other God's face? How could this be possible? And later I slept and there Baba answered my doubt/confusion in the dream. Here it goes.

Lord Sai Baba is compassionate incarnate. He takes care of all and He has melting heart which always crave of His kids welfare. Following is such an experience of a devotee from Malaysia.

Anonymous Devotee from Malaysia says: Sai Ram ji, My request is to keep all details confidential. My humble pranams on Your lotus feet, my dearest father Sainath ji. This is a continuation from the post: Thank You Dear Father Sai - Anonymous Sai Devotee.

First and foremost, I apologies for the delay again. My son had check up last 24th May. And MY FATHER has answered my prayers again. I have no words to express how happy I am. My son’s follow up check up was scheduled on 24th May. Months before check up, I gave up eating some of my favorite food in the name of Baba e.g. rice, anchovies, chicken and mutton. I must admit, there were times (1 or 2 times) I had to breach my promise to Baba due to reasons I couldn’t avoid. I asked forgiveness from Baba. I didn’t do it on purpose.

Dear Sai Readers, sorry for delay in posting experiences. Herewith are few experiences of devotees.

Sai Bhakt

Sai Sister Gitika ji from India says: OM SAI RAM. I am a Sai devotee from one year. In this one year, I have felt divine presence of Baba. Here I am sharing my uncle’s experience with Sai Baba as He is HIS Bhakt from many years.

He was having back pain from a long time. He could not walk easily. Someday, he heard about SAI BABA OF SHIRDI. So he decided to visit Shirdi. As he took the first step of the stairs, He got a jerk in his back and suddenly his pain was vanished out. Then he understood that this is only BABA. OM SAI RAM.

We are sharing Shipbur Sai Baba Mandir experiences from time to time on this blog. Here is an addition to few more experiences.

Sai Sister Natasha ji from USA says: Dear Hetalji, We are all very grateful to Baba for connecting us through your beloved site. I wanted to share a few more miracles of Baba at Shibpur. It is a place where one can feel the divine vibrations of Baba and a true testament that Baba resides where there is true devotion and love. I request devotees to whole heartedly contribute to building this beautiful temple that Baba has ordered Amit ji to take care of. For more information on how to help: shibpurtemple@gmail.com.

One Sai devotee experience in Shibpur temple

During the evening Aarti, I had the desire to take a small video of the Aarti and keep it to myself. An inner voice told me to stop taking the video and concentrate on the Puja and Aarti. I did not listen and continued taking the videos. I tried to take two videos during the evening Aarti period. When the Aarti was over, I tried checking how the videos have come. To my surprise, there were blank screens. None of the videos were recorded. I understood that I have to take Baba’s permission to click His picture here. Next morning during the Kakad Aarti, I asked Baba for His permission to take His morning Aarti video. I looked at Baba and He seemed to be smiling. Happily I took the video. It was recorded this time. I understood that nothing in this universe moves without Baba’s permission and grace.

Miracles happened on Ramanavami – Shibpur (24.03.2010)

: Anand Joshi, a great Sai devotee, inaugurated Sai Baba temple Shibpur on Ramanavami day. He had blessed experience on that day. Anand ji asked Amit ji that you tell Baba is here, show me, I want to see Him. Then Amit ji told go inside the temple with candle, switch off the light and meditate on candle light. If Baba wants then definitely He will give you Darshan. It was around 11 pm in night; he went inside, sat with candle and started staring at Baba.

Dear Sai Readers, it gives me immense pleasure to announce that a blog describing Devotee Experiences with Shirdi Sai Baba in Gujarati in being released today. In Shri Sai Satcharitra we had read, in chapter 39 that, "Baba never talked, nor ever made any fuss about the things which He wanted to accomplish, but He so skillfully arranged the circumstances and surroundings that the people were surprised at the slow but sure results attained." This i experienced few days before.

In one of my posts on Shirdi Sai Baba Life Teachings and Stories blog for which i possess immense passion, i had shared that i was learning Graphics and Web-designing. While we were in centre, we were supposed to keep our cell phones silent or switch it off to avoid disturbance. One fine day, before two or three months ago, i entered centre without keeping my cell on silent. This is realised when cellphone rang immediately on my entering waiting area. As a devotee of Lord Sai Baba, i had one of my most favourite bhajan "Sai Teri Leela" as my ringtone. I quickly finished call and went to lab where i was supposed to be. This seems to be very simple happening. A day to day incident. But Lord Sai Baba was working behind scene.

The computer center's waiting area is common to all students. On that day when i entered and my phone rang, two students were waiting for their lecture to start. One of them was Sai devotee which i came to know in future course. As he heard ringtone, he wished he could also get it, but felt hesitant to ask me being a female and also we were not introduced to each other. So he did not dare to approach me

Few more devotee experiences of Lord Shirdi Sai Baba which when read wll create intense love for Him and one will come to know how alive is Lord Sai Baba in His spirit even today

Sai Blessings

Sai Brother K. L. Shyamsundar ji from India says: Om Sai Ram to all Sai devotees, I love to share my experiences when I visit Shirdi Sai Mandir and I visit Shirdi Sai Mandir on Guru Poornima every year regularly. Whenever I go to Shirdi, I definitely experience some special things.

In year 2010, when I visited Shirdi to have Sai Baba Blessings, we had Sai Baba's Darshan and finished Kakad Aarti in Morning and came back to Hotel Room. We had good sleep for 2 hours and got up around 8.30 AM with my friend who was with me in Room. I started discussing regarding my willingness to visit Manasarovar and we both had this discussion for about 1 hour and then went to have our breakfast. Later again in the noon, I visited Parayana hall in temple where have I have a habit of Reading 1 Chapter of Sri Sai Satcharitra. I simply close my eyes open this book asking Baba to give me His advice or Blessing from the chapter that I get to Read. Please note that I do not select the Chapter whatever it comes, I just read on that day and got the story of One Great Devotee Named Megha of Sri Sai Baba. In this story Baba asks Megha to Draw a Trident which he does. The very next day, some devotees of Baba comes to Shirdi from Pune and present Baba a Shiva Linga. Then Baba calls Megha and tells him that see you had drawn the Trident and now Shiva himself has come to preserve it with you and Baba give to him and reading this story. I finished my reading and next we left to our place that is Bangalore. While coming back in train, I did think that nothing special has happened this time.

After a sad story posted yesterday, i am now sharing wonderful experience of Sai Sister Santi ji from USA at Shirdi.

---

Sai Sister Santi ji from USA says: Dear Hetalji, My name is Santi, we live in US. Thank you for the wonderful website. The new look is very good. Every day after I login, first I read the devotees experiences. You are such a blessed soul for the wonderful service you do for enabling us to share. I would like to share the experience of my second visit to Shirdi. If you think this is too long please edit as you wish.

I have prayed in 2008 December during a hardship we faced, that in my next visit to India, we will definitely visit Shirdi and Tirupati with my husband. We started planning the trip in the month of Jan to visit both the places. There were several things that have to be taken care of. My 3 children were still in college/school. Here the school year ends only in the middle of June. Finally we figured the date out and booked our tickets to leave USA on May 13 and be back on May 27. This was the first time when we were travelling out of the country leaving my children back here in US. I had lots of fears. But I asked and prayed a lot to BABA to take care of my children and return us safely.

We are loaded with experiences everyday. At first while editing them, we feel sorry for the devotee for the pain he/she went through. Then towards end we come to know that Lord Sai Baba goes for rescue on cry of His devotee and take him/her out of danger and thus we all are happy. But this letter from anonymous devotee has not ending, let alone happy ending. Our blog editor exclaimed thus, "This experience is the toughest one I have seen. I am feeling so sad for devotee". Really you would end up reading story with tearful eyes.

The Divine Rules of past karmas apply to all souls residing in earthly bodies. According to past karmas one's nature is formed. So in a way people are first bound by their own nature first and this is the most powerful tool for shaping their future course. Reading this letter showed me dreadful face of Kaliyug. After being in safe hands of Lord Sai Baba, life of every devotee takes a smooth turn. Though problems persists, its impact seems to be lessened.

Sharing few more brief experiences in today's post.

Sharing My First Experience

Anonymous Devotee from USA says: Please do not disclose my name and e-mail address, if you wish to publish this post. Keep me as anonymous. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity. Also, I promised Baba that I will post my experiences here. But I am not in return for a desire. It is out of my own interest.

June 10, 2011 11:11 AM, Central Time, USA, the time I rediscovered myself with Baba’s help. I was lost completely before that. I was frustrated, depressed and did not know what I was doing. I made so many mistakes prior to this time, personally and also regarding Baba. But then I prayed to Baba and asked Him to accept my apologies. The best way to correct your mistake is not do it again. I told the same to Baba that I should not repeat the blunders I did and let me make only few mistakes. Because, it is impossible for a human being not to make any mistakes in a lifetime. I asked Him to guide me in the path of faith and patience, shared all my problems with Him and asked Him to show me some solution. The amount of mental peace you get, when you actually talk to Him in front of His photo is immense and unexplainable. I promised Baba that whatever miracles or Leelas, I experience, I would post on this blog. Today I started reading Sai Satcharitra, the book written by Shri Hemadpant Dabholkar, in Marathi and translated later by Shri N. V Gunaji into English. I attained so much peace after reading Chapter I.

Sai Evening Aarti

Sai Sister Supriya ji from India says: Jai Sai Ram, I am a very small and humble devotee of Baba and always trying to please Him. I wish Baba blesses me enough that I can do His seva the way you are doing Hetal ji. You are truly a blessed soul. Thank you for this lovely gift you have given us. It really gives a lot of strength to go on during weak times. Thanks a ton!

I always wanted to attend Baba's Aarti standing right in front of Baba's Samadhi. Only He could do this for me and He did. I hope I am able to do justice to write down Baba's Leela, the way I felt it. I have been planning to post this for long. Sorry for the delay Baba. I believe this to be Your wish that You want me to do it today. Sorry, but I would not have done justice to it. I had tried to cut short the length. Hetal ji, please do not share my email address. Thanks
