Few more experiences are shared in today’s post.
Prayer
Sai Sister Swati Ji from India says: I am Swati from Lucknow. I am here to offer my prayer to Shri Sai Baba Ji. I am very much disturbed with my life. I had very unusual life to lead. It was different from others. I had mild depression for 15-16 years and it’s very difficult to be happy with the things as they are. I have been wondering how people stay happy and satisfied with themselves. I always make myself understand this fact, but it’s not that easy to be like that. I am very sensitive by nature and get hurt easily and fall prey to depression easily every now and then. I have been to doctors and they feel that both natural tendency and fate are responsible for my depression. At the moment, I am in a relationship and again things are not in my favour since boy’s mother and father do not approve of my caste, my complexion and my age, since I am almost one and half year older to him. And my family is also very much against this relationship as it would be an inter-caste marriage.
I got inclined to this guy because I was very depressed and lonely and he was very loving and it’s his love and affection, which drove me towards him. But as things went ahead, I found him to be aggressive, abusive and having a lot of desires, which irritated me a lot, but he loves me a lot as well. His parents called me and were very harsh and rude to me, since I do not belong to upper caste and I am not as beautiful as they wish their daughter-in -law to be and above all I am one and half year older to this boy. I am working in Delhi and they want me to leave my job and get settled in Lucknow, which obviously I don’t want to do. Seeing their temperament, I do not want to marry this boy, but it’s been a year in this relationship. I feel guilty since I got intimate with this guy and have this fear that no other good guy would accept me, when he would come to know about this.
I have been a devotee of Sai Baba Ji for 3 years and I know I got my job because of His grace only and I have been praying to Him throughout in this relationship so that He protects me and guides me. But only thing I regret that I got little intimate with him. Why didn’t Baba prevent me from getting intimate with this guy, since I got to know this later that his family wants a girl from only upper caste and a very beautiful girl. I went to Sai Baba Ji’s temple with this boy twice with the feeling that Baba would reform him and make him a better human being and will curb down his sexual desire and make things fine. I owe my intimacy with this boy to my depression. Had I not been depressed, I would never have gone so close to him. It’s because of his affection, I stayed with him otherwise I got fed up with up his intimate talks and I would often rebuke him for that which led to constant fights. See, I have been a depressed girl since my school days and I have been not a very social. I would keep to myself and my character has been very good throughout I would not even talk to boys much. I had very few friends. This is my first relationship which started at the age of 29. Now I am 30 year old. I do not know what to do. I didn’t eat food for 10 days, when his parents called me and talked to me very rudely. I continued to cry for 5 days at a stretch and didn’t eat properly as a result I suffered from Intestinal infection (a lot of blood came in loose motions for 2-3 days and it continues to come till today). You know I was really happy that I would die and escape all the mental tortures. Will Sai Baba Ji help me die easily? My life has been very tough as compared to my friends. I have Mild depression for 15-16 years. I saw my father’s death, when I was 25. Now I have this problem. When will I be happy Sai Baba Ji? What karmas I did in my past life that I am suffering so much? Why me? Why me always Baba? Help me Baba! Please help me. Please convey my prayer to Sai Baba Ji. I will be really grateful to you. Om Sai Ram.
Presentation Given By SAI
Sai Sister Priya Ji from USA says: Hello to all my fellow Sai devotees. My name is Priya and I am in high school. Sai Baba has helped me in so many ways throughout my life. I would like to share one of my experiences with you all.
I am taking a public speaking class in school and it is very tough for me because I get scared to talk in front of people. We had presentation coming up and I was very nervous. If I didn’t do well, my grade would drop in the class. The night before the presentation, I wrote a letter to Baba explaining my problem and pleaded him to help me. I placed the letter at his feet near our life size photo and went to sleep feeling confident and satisfied. The next day in school, I was gave my presentation with ease and flow and everyone praised me. I thanked Baba again and again. I love Baba and he is helped me in many ways. If anyone is going to Shirdi, please give my Namaskars to Shri Sai Baba. Thank you.
Sai Helped Me To Achieve My Target
Sai Sister Vidhya Ji from India says: I am Vidhya working in a software company as a HR. Thank you Hetal Ji, for this wonderful blog. Everyday I read your blog about the devotee’s experiences. It gives me lot of strength and happiness. Lord Sai gave me lot of experiences. This is the first experience which happened today. It was just a miracle. Hetal Ji, please correct in case if there are any mistakes. Hetal Ji please do not disclose my email id.
In 2008 due to recession, we lost lots of customers and the company was not doing well. The director insisted me to motivate the sales team to achieve their target. I was finding it very difficult to produce the report to my director as the sales team was not able to achieve the target. I pray to Sai to help me to overcome this situation as I have to submit the report by the end of the day. A miracle happened immediately, our Sai answered my prayers. You know what happened. One new customer deposited his payment from Sai Baba colony (By cash – Saibaba Colony).
Sai will always help His children. Be with us always Sai.

-SAIRAM
Dear Swati ji
I pray to Baba to give u enough strength to face life's difficulties. Sitting here, I can't judge you nor am I right in commenting. But, I would like to tell you this. You are lucky to have had a father till u were 25 years old. Some people dont get to see them at all. Losing parents is not easy, I have lost both of them, my mom when I was only 12-13 years old and father when I was 25 years old. Life was not fair to me as well, but when I look back, I realise it was bound to happen and I could hv done nothing to change. Whatever I am today, good or bad, is because of what I experienced. I may not be super duper happy but yes now and then I am content with what God has given me. I try not to complain and forget and forgive people who have hurt me and ask for forgiveness from people whom I have hurt. Life is only now, it's not in past nor in future. So try to be positive. Another thing, dont be too harsh on urself, having intimacy is not a crime. Regarding complexion and age, can u change anything, no. I feel similarly too. So just be happy that god has given u two hands, two feet and a body (unlike people who are physically disabled. So many people suffer because of some or other disability. So thank God every moment. He will only do good things for u. I can only pray to Sai to give u happiness and good health.
Omsairam..help ur devotees nana.
Devotee Swati,
Please hold on to Shri Sai Baba- Faith & Patience, much easier said than done however us Human beings do not have too many options left in adverse circumstances. Today is Guru Purnima, please try & read Sat Charitra. May Baba bless you soon.
Devotee Swati,
For your health take Udi mixed with water daily & offer your heart, body, mind & soul to Shri Sai Baba.
happy sai poornima to all. baba come and help sai sister who is standing at the crossroads of life. manifest yourself and make things right for her. i pray to you to make things right for people who are in love. what can be more pure than this feeling in this whole wide world?
Dear Swati SAIRAM,
I request you to please dont think negative first of all about ending your life, Baba will for sure help you but first you have to start by being not thinking anything bad and negative, why you always count on bad things why not thank first for good things god has given you first thank him for life , helath and then pray him for his blessings and what all you want in life. GRATITUDE is must and when you do this your life will change for sure. If you want you can read the book SECRET how law of attraction works what all you think you get that only so please be brave and start the first step of being positive and see how baba changes your life.
MAY SAI BLESS YOU. HAPPY GURU PURNIMA TO ALL SAI DEVOTEES ON THIS FORUM AND HETALJI SAI BLESS YOU ALWAYS.
Swati ji
Being a victim of depression for several years myself I can sympathise with you.But you can follow any meditation technique to overcome it.Try to think only about the positive points in every event.It makes life easier.Think that you are happy and eventually you will be happy.Just know that no one in this world is perfect.Have faith in Baba. He will definitely help you.Remember Sraddha and saburi
Respected Swathi ji,
Read your experience. You are asking Babaji "WHY ME". First of all, prepare yourself and say TRY ME. Probably you lost your childhood where you were not able to play and express that is why you have problems like depression. First of all, cool and calm your mind. Pray to Sai Babaji. All men and women are not same. You yourself have allowed that weak moment to enter your head and whats the point in repenting now and blaming Babaji. You cannot change destiny but now you might have learnt a lesson. If they want a more beautiful and rich girl, let them have. YOu come out of this and start praying and have trust in Babaji. He will give you everything. Remember two virtues taught by Babaji ie Faith and Patience (Shradha and Saburi). If you are asking why me you are wrong. Be Bold enough. Face the consequences. Keep your mind open to ideas, recollect good things of past and be happy. Everybody in this world is begging for happiness and seldomly everybody gets it. Be happy, cool and calm with whatever you have. Never carry your worries to bed. Have babaji photo with you and he will take care. We all sai bhakt are praying for you.
Dear Swati,
My husband has been through depression and I know first hand how it feels. He did a mistake of leaving his job and it is now difficult for him to get another one. So please do not leave your job.
Praying for you

OM NAMO SAIBABA THANDRI NARAYANA
I WILL DEFINITELY PRAY FOR YOU. USUALLY, GETTING DEPRESSED AT A VERY YOUNG AGE IS SAD TO HEAR. FOR THE FIRST TIME I AM HEARING. MOSTLY WOMEN AFTER ENTERING IN TO MARITAL LIFE, AFTER SOME YEARS OF TORTURE BY IN-LAWS OR HUSBAND ARE BOUND TO GO DEPRESSION FOR SOME POINT OF TIME, THAT TOO VERY TEMPORARY. IF LEARNED HOUSE WIFE AND MOTHER, SET ASIDE ALL THESE THINGS AND WILL GO AHEAD WITH LIFE.
YOU HAVE GONE TO DEPRESSION AT AN YOUNG AGE, MOST PROBABLY YOUR FATHER'S DEATH. ONE THING I WANT TO SWATI, IF YOU ARE GOOD IN ALL THINGS AND SUCCEED PEOPLE WILL APPAULD YOU FOR THAT MOMENT AND SUPPOSE IF ANY POINT OF TIME, IF YOU ARE WEAK FOR SOMETIME, PEOPLE WILL TRY TO TAMPER YOUR EARLIER SUCCESS ALSO BY GIVING NEGATIVE SHADE. THIS IS KALIYUG, PEOPLE ARE LIKE THAT. WE HAVE TO CHANGE OUR SELVES BY NOT BEING IN THEIR COMPANY. TROUBLES ARE NOT THAT TOUGH TO HANDLE WITH YOUR OWN MERITS AND POTENTIALITIES, BUT TOUGH UNSCRUPULOUS ABUSE PEOPLE ARE MORE TOUGH. THIS IS A NICE QUOTE, THAT I HAVE READ AND EXPERIENCED IN MY REAL LIFE.
SO, BE BOLD AND BEHOLD SAIBABA AND THINK WITH OUT HASTY DECISION ABOUT YOUR LIFE AND ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL.
MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.
ALL THE BEST.

Sai Ram Swati from Luknow
I felt so much compassion for you. I
would like to recommand the book;
"the 4 questions that will change
your life" written by Byron Katie.
It helps you in investigating and
unraveling your thoughts so you
can be happy too! Love….
OM Sai Ram
Well Swati …my prayers are with u..but one thing i would like to state is that when their parents said that after marriage you have to live in Lucknow…what is wrong in it…I believe if one loves someone truly then place, house, money really does not make a difference as long as you are with the one you love..even i am going through a very rough phase and i ready to leave my home country everything to be with the one i love only if his parents accept it…you are lucky that they are accepting you if you live in Lucknow after marriage..go ahead with everything will be okay…take care
oM SAI RAM
Happy Guru Poornima to all sai devotees.
Thank you for sharing your experiences.. Swatiji, pls have faith in baba, surely ur problems will be solved by baba.
If you are not happy with the relationship and its making your life more complicated, then it’s better to cut down the relationship now itself. Remove guilt feeling from your mind and start a new life:). Do not think about the past and start a peaceful and happy life. I bet you will realize after few years that you have taken a good decision ( and this problem will look small to you).. just by thinking about 1 year relationship with the boy, don’t spoil your future years.
Have faith in baba, he will send you suitable person in your life. Read sai sacharita, worship baba.. then all your depression will end. All the best, I will look forward to read happy experience from you soon:)
Ur sai sister

@AnonymousDear Swati ji,
Thank BABA for you are not at a point where you got married to this guy and there is no point of return! Try to be positive, try chanting BABA's name whenever you feel depressed. Listen to songs that make you happy and cheerful. Curtail relationship with this guy, do not cut off from him but still you can maintain distance from him. Treat him as a well wisher friend, nothing more.
May you find peace in your life and also a loving caring life partner with good loving family members. Of course , "marriage" calls for lots of adjustments but when we thing maturely and try to understand the situation that needs us to change our way of dealing with situation, it is not that difficult.
May you be blessed. Take care.
Jai Sai Ram.
Happy GURU PURNIMA to all Sai Devotees.
happy guru purnima to all the sai devotees of this forum.may baba bless all his/her chidren

Happy Gurupoornima to all my brothers and sisters.
May Baba Bless us all with shradha and saburi. Please baba keep us near your lotus feet. We all love u baba. Thanks all for sharing experiences. Baba is always with us so we do not worry about anything. Just remember "Sai Nath Tere Hajaron Haath".
Om Sai Ram
To all unmarried girls out there, please note that getting intimate with a guy is that last thing you should do, if you really want to marry the guy. Girls in their deep inner most nature 'liked to be loved, cared and protected'. Guys use this and show care and love to get intimate with the girls and abandon (Sorry, I am a guy too!). Never fall for this.
Those girls who do not get love, care and protection from the family, are prone to fall pry to these guys. Parents out there.. please know what you need to do.
Swathiji, I do not blame you for what happened. I am tending to believe that you do not have enough support from your family. Please make friends with other girls of your age (I know it not equivalent to having a boyfriend, but the freindship eases a little bit of love and concern that you seek). More so, see baba as your father and talk to him (like one of the devotee calls him nanna/daddy on this forum).
God has given us free will. He will not change us (your boyfriend) by force. He can only teach us and it is upto us to follow. It has to come from within oneself.
I do not know much about depression, but let me tell you most people are not happy with themselves. That is why they seek money, positions, power, control to fill a void in themselves. Only spirituality can lead you to permanent happiness. So life is pushing you in that direction. Life will not give up, it will continue to push you in that direction. Make it easy on yourself and listen to life. Join a spiritual group or meditation group, where you meet people and help each other in spiritual progress.
Keep yourself busy that is the way to avoid unnecessary thoughts. Nothing is permanent, not even your depression and not even the difficulties. The new dawn in your life is about to begin, just wait for that happily.
God belss you.
yes i even recommend that if u are being given an opportunity to get married and settle at Lucknow…you should go for it…what is the use in fretting over such silly things..
swati ji plz dont hopeless baba surly help u.m pary 4 u.plz have petiance and read sai satcharitra..and say always om sai ram
om sai ram
Dear sis Swatiji, first of all i think u r lucky ur experience published on Gurupoornima i.e. Special day for all sai divotee,secondly i wonder and congratulate u that despite of all odds u r an independent girl n working,so i feel so postive about you,u must have done some hard work n some luck that today u r earning for urself.
Next thing being ur elder sis i m sharing with you,as someone wrote ( i m sorry i have different view) its true that a girl has to leave place job family everything for the sake of marriage,but tell me one thing even when we walk do we keep both the legs in air? When one foot have firm support then only we proceed for next,this time its not like they are welcoming u with whole heart ( boys parents) n unshud run leaving ur identity,what if after one month things changed.In laws n such relation are so complicated that those who are good they turn negative after marriage in ur case they are already negative then wat will happen …?
So plz plz dont dont give up ur job till u find someone so trustworthy.
Next u r taking baba's name so i believe that u have this belief that ther is God which governs our life it means only karma we do but wat we get we cant be sure about,so for the things which r not in ur hand why u feel depressed,why people misbehave why they cheat…Its their Attitude,why u punish urself for others sin.if someone does murder will u go into jail in his place…No but u r doing so.u know u r good u do not hurt others that enough more than enough.be happy that u have great soul inside.so many persons on earth meets decide for marriage n then depart intentionally or not but that is wat destiny.keep ur feelings now for the person whom u will marry ,past is past u cant go n undone just take cr of ur future that is ur honesty.rest up to u nobody in world complete ,do u think all miss world n miss universe doest get divorce,beautiful face is not guarantee of success neither money nor caste.Just take care of ur attitude first luv urself then only u can luv someone.sorry if i spoke much.
Regards Om Sai Ram

Please wake up NOW. You have to see that Baaba loves you that is the reason he has led you to this post. Your experience was published and so many devotees responded. ONLY one person can save you and complete yoy which is SAI. My dear friend fill the hollow in your heart with his divine love and grace.
Swati
Please see that Sai Baaba is already helping you to clear your troubles. Please wake up and see how many devotees have caringly responded to your story. You have the answer for you now you just need to decide. Firstly, accept the past and forgive yourself, Love your Atma and ask Baaba to fill your heart with his love and compassion
Once you have let Sai's grace envelop you the depression will leave you. Your heart and atma will be lighter becaue Sai Baaba loves you. See yourself thru Baaba s eyes you are his child and he will take care of you. No one can erase past karma but you do have a bright future full of grace of Sai. I know Baaba is with you. So be Strong and turn to Sai
THIRD EXPERIENCE IS VERY NICE. SWATI JI HAVE FAITH ON BABA hE WILL DEFINITELY HELP U. OM SAI RAM.

Dear devotees,
I had seen a post from Swatiji. My life is ven worse. I was suffering from cute depression for the past 18 years. No treatment has cured me. I tried to focus in my work and worked hard. I had lots of ambitions and worked a lot for all those ambitions but I never got close to it. That time I was even more depressed and my illness was n getting cured. In the meanwhile a person who was 15 years older than me entered into my room, was very affectionate and kind and talked a lot to get me out of depression. He assured that he will help me to fulfiill my ambitions and dreams, so i got myself shifted to his department and worked under him. Here there were a couple of people who were seniors and they came in the way of my work, neevr allowed me to work and this person also joined them. So I lost my previous position and I became nobody here and this was going on for the last 8 years. I am suffering from even more depression and I cry like hell everyday. I am now 46 years old woman and I am not marrie. Till 3-4 years ago also I prayed to baba an was hoping that everything will become alright. But till this moment also my life is only worsening and now I scream and hout at bab's photo everyday. I have decided that I wil never never go to shirdi again because after I visited there only this person came to me and thoroughly destroyed me. He even humiliated me publically after exploiting me. I was also so depressed those days that I fell in his trap.I fell at Baba's feet for 10 years cried to him everyday and was waiting with patience that my illlness will get cured and my life will become alright, but today I am nothing but a disaster. I cannot believv that baba can be so cuel and crush a person who has been at His feet. Dear devotees, please do not tell me that all are for good or they are all because of karma. These may be true but they do not take away my pain and today I lost life totally. My old parentys have forgottentto ebven smil. I am also very upset that I could not even have a normal life and I get very pained when i see small children since I loved children. at the same time my ambitions are all a disaster now! after workoig so hard day and night today I stand losing everything I feel like leaving my job but then I will become even more depressed. My office colleagues are harassing me and everything that I did has become a failure for the last 8 years. I now pray to baba that He atleast should give death. Atleast I do not want to commit suicide I want dignified death!
Go to shibpur saibaba temple n pray what you want
