I want to share Baba’s Leela that I find very strange and yet feel very happy to note that BABA is with me.
I am thinking of BABA all day long and at every step BABA’s name is on my lips, though I am not doing POOJA as such. Sometimes I feel like cultivating that habit, but somehow, my mindset is such that doing such pooja to me is not natural. I do have BABA’s small idol, BABA’s photo in my kitchen pantry, on one of the shelves. Anyway, I do feel like offering whatever I eat or drink to BABA first. When there is an urge to place some Prasad to offer BABA pops up on my mind. I do place some dry fruit or whole banana etc.
Well, this time I was having some front tooth problem and wanted to avoid a direct bite using my front teeth altogether. I sliced my banana that I eat as my breakfast. Thought came to me why not I offer some to BABA. So I placed a few slices and some cashews in a small dish. After 10-15 minutes, I thought not to keep the Prasad open so placed a plastic lid on top of the dish.
I wanted to share this Prasad with my husband as he had gone out for some work. I was waiting for him to return. When he came, I totally forgot about Prasad. Well I remembered at very late evening, when I opened the pantry to get something to prepare dinner. Oh Prasad is still to be shared. And I was imagining it turned darkened banana slices, instead they were as fresh as if they were cut just now. I could not believe my eyes and I would like to see this as BABA’s Leela. I did not tell this to my other family members as they might think I have gone crazy. But it’s ok to share it here, right?
Here, in Sierra Vista, you won’t expect to see Sai BABA’s photo on other vehicle. I had some incident in the past that was connected to my husband’s melanoma detection (I will share that in a separate experience), where I had a dream, where the figure that I saw was very much resembling to Jesus Christ and yet I heard voice talking to me in English and Hindi, “Everything will be alright, my child, don’t worry. sab kuchha achchhaa ho jaayega”. And really my husband was out of cancer in all the tests and diagnosing surgeries performed after that incident.
Well, I saw Lord Jesus Christ on the back of the rear window glass of a truck that is passing by me most of the time. I either going out or returning to my apartment and if I don’t see the truck passing by me, it is parked in the small street adjacent to my apartment complex. It gives me so much peace to see one of the forms of BABA always around me that I wanted to share that joy with other Sai devotees.
I wanted to show my gratitude to my apartment manager for her special care to offer me this apartment in a miraculous way by making her oil portrait, no charge to her. That portrait I could finish almost within a week, I think that was possible only because of BABA’s grace. Really the portrait came out very impressive. And the same way I am offered a commissioned work from my Store GM for his graduation photo. He is the one who has offered me my job which is also BABA’s miracle. I had applied for the same job for the past 5 years and even though the GM of this store wanted to hire me, but my application was not going through the computer process.
Once, I went to the same store to buy the computer desk (which is I am using right now). I had to wait for someone to get me this box of computer desk from the warehouse. This GM happened to be on the sales floor. He came to me and said, I think you had applied for the job here, right? Are you still considering working here? And when I said yes, he asked me to re-apply. I did so but again I was kicked out by the computer software. I told him about my problem and he really helped me telling me how to select the computer answers and with his guidance like this I could clear the computer acceptance and I am having this job since then. And this job is what made me eligible for fulfilling the required procedure to get the apartment. Don’t you think, all these events are also BABA’s Leela.
I am working on this commissioned portrait and this one is also coming out very impressive, though it has many subtle details like his medals and name badge and USA flag in the background. I feel very humble with BABA’s grace.
BABA please be with me always!
Jai Sai Ram.
SAIRAM!!This is really a nice experience.This shows BABA is always with us.JAI SAIRAM!
OM Sai Sri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai!!
Dear Hetal ji, I am very happy to see all my posts that I wrote to you are seen here. I am experiencing BABA's presence and sort of protection in everything happens in day to day activity. Just a couple of days ago, I had a very rude customer at the job who complained to our customer Service Department at HQ level, about me about arguing with him even though I was trying to help him in his issue. I was so upset with the development as I could not sleep all night and anger over this rude customer's behavior bothered me. At last I got up early in the morning and wrote an e-mail to my store manager that I was wrongly accused by the customer and my name should be cleared with the HQ management personnel.
To my utter surprise, my Store manager replied me along with the complete communication of this topic discussion with the upper management and not only that he wrote strongly and in clear language to my divisional manager that I did nothing wrong, instead I was just following the store policy in the given situation and not only that he had given other two senior to me employees' names as a proof of support in my favor.
BABA turned the table in my favor this way which to me it seemed a doomed case and a shameful accusation on my best service to our store customers.
Jai Sai Ram. BABA is always with me! 😀
we might have hundred complaints about life ….. but don't we have lot to be grateful about .
In connection to this Meera aunty,i recently had an incident too.One of my neighbours behaved very rudely with me.I got so upset and i rebelled back in the same tone as he behaved with me but in the process he abused me further.I got so scared and started feeling so bad and prayed to Baba that please make everything calm.I just stayed calm and didnt reply after that.But everyday i am so angry,why should someone behave like that,what right does that person have?i dont know what is right what is wrong?we get angry…we fight with people,Baba says dont fight.say one or two words and leave.Because the moment we get into arguments,things only get worse.I really have been thinking about asking Sai devotees here,what is the best way to deal with a situation when someone behaves inappropriately with you?what does Baba want us to do?
Om Sai Ram
Om Sai Ram. Its a gud experience…….

Dear Angry and upset Sai Devotee,
You are not at all at fault getting angry when something like this takes place. I would say, whatever the issue and whatever you think that is "correct" just say to the other person in a very respectful and base tone, I mean , not raising your voice pattern, and let them not to raise thier voice either. Anything can be worked when talked like "adults". And even after that the matter does go beyond your handling capacity, just leave that conversation at that point.
We can not change other person's thinking or behaviour once they think "they are RIGHT!!". BABA will take care of you by granting you peace at heart and not letting that ugly situation bother you.
Also BABA will make the other party realize their mistake sooner or later.
That's what I do. In my household too I have never allowed "arguments" though I had suffered because of that but surely BABA has always taken care of the issues and matters have not gone out of control to make a hell in my quiet home!
Also I have read in Sai Satchritra or somewhere that when you don't react with anger towards the other angry party, you are like a mirror against the Sun Rays…they bounce back in the same direction from where they come from.
Jai Sai Ram.
Om Sai Ram. Dear brother devotee, I have been a devotee of Baba for the past 3 years. I knew very little about Him till then. Twice I had a chance to visit Shirdi and be blessed by Him. However, I have been experiencing a very bad fall in my career since past 4 years. I wonder if my devotion is lacking in something. I have read Sai Satcharitra once. Everytime I feel now the ocean is calm a storm comes in my career life. Unscrupulous people have succeded in chucking me out of work in the past 1 year twice and being well qualified I am a lot upset with worry to get a right job match again. I sincerely pray to Baba to protect me with lots of peace and happiness.
Very nice experience Meera Ji. I am also a Sai Baba devotee here in USA, and although we may not see Baba in his regular form, here in the USA, we can see him in many other forms, knowing that he is here with us all the time to help and guide us. Om Sai Ram!
Thanks Aunty!
I have to work on controlling my emotions too.I prayed to Baba to answer through a devotee of His, and He replied through you, a devotee so close to Him.
I strongly believe that this is Baba's reply and I will try to follow it Aunty.As you said,Baba will take care of things,who am I to set right people.
Again and again Baba says have patience and have faith in me!
Om Sai Ram
JAI SAIRAM,
WONDERFUL EXPERIENCES.
ANANTHA KOTI BRAHMANDA NAYAKA RAJADHI RAJA YOGI RAJA PARA BRAHMA SHRI SACHIDANANDA SAMARTHA SADGURU SAINATH MAHARAJ KI JAI.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BABA.
SARVAM SHRI SAI NATHARPANAMASTHU.
Dear Anonymous Sai Devotee from USA,
Yes, I am in USA and I too feel the same. Once I had requested a proof for my doubting mind to believe that Shirdi Sai BABA and Satya Sai BABA are one and the same…(at that time Satya Sai BABA was alive). I noticed Orange colored car passed by me! I was surprised to see that type of color in CAR.
Well after that I kept noticing that saffron color in various things, like a person wearing such T-shirt, A vehicle with Orange color advertisement and what not! So it is out faith that works the trick. And perhaps that's the way BABA want us to see BABA in each and every form.
I am happy to live my days thinking of BABA and life is good!
Jai Sai Ram.
Om Sai Ram,
