Couple of Sai Baba Experiences – Part 361

My Saibaba – My Savior And Father

Anonymous Devotee from USA says: I stay in USA with my Husband and work as an IT Professional. I have been a devotee of Sai Baba since 14 years of age. This is my second experience. I have shared first in the year 2009 on how Baba taught me to have faith and helped me to get married to my best friend, while we were having tough time with Visa Issues. Today we are living a happy healthy life only because of Baba’s blessings in every step, every day of our life.

Hetal Ji, congratulations and pray on your healthy pregnancy. I am going through the same phase now this being my first child and I am 4 months pregnant. I thank you for making this website as a medium to share the experience and appreciate your effort and hard work in putting this together, this is my daily routine to read the experiences. Now coming to my experience I pray to Baba whole heartedly to help me express the wonderful experience I have felt with Baba.

In the year 2009, I was looking for a full time job in a different state, where I and my husband wanted to settle down after consulting for couple of years. So we started applying for the jobs, since I was on H1 most companies were not ready to sponsor the visa and take the liability to do the Green Card. We applied for so many jobs with no results. I was praying to Baba every day to help us settle down as both my husband and I were consulting and need to stay in one place, so that we can start a family.

After few months, I got a call from a company that they would like to interview me for the job through phone. I was scared as this is the only opportunity that came in days and was ready to sponsor I did not want to lose it. The phone interview went well and they called me for in person interview. Baba was with me throughout the journey from travelling to the place to attend the interview and during the interview too.The interview was for 4 hours and only with Baba’s graces, I could able to be confident and strong. I felt the interview went well and hoping that they will offer the job. I came back to the place. The HR mentioned they like me, but they were looking for more senior with Project Management skills. I was disappointed, depressed and cried in front of Baba every day as why this happened if this job was not for me. Months passed and I kept sending email to HR for an update on the position, but nothing changed.

During this time, it was hard on us that nothing full time was working out, so to take my mind off I started doing Sai Aarti everyday while driving home from work and totally forgot about this job. Miracle of the miracle, HR came back in 2010 checking to see if I was available for another phone interview with the new team. I did the phone interview and it went well and they could not make a decision on whether to hire as they still wanted a senior person. I gave up all my hopes on the full time job. In the mean time, I got another consulting offer with a good pay in a different state. We were in a dilemma whether to take it or not and move to a place. We left everything on Baba and moved to the new state for the consulting offer, my husband was still travelling. I worked with that company for 6 months. Back of my mind, I was praying to Baba to help me find a full time so we can buy a house and start family.

In the year 2011, the same company, who interviewed couple of times, came back again to check on the availability and interview me. I was not interested after having so many interviews with no offer letter from them, but I thought Baba had a plan and time for everything, so I went ahead and took the interview. The interview went well and they offered me the job FINALLY all because of Baba as He had plans on the right time to get a full time job as we were able to save up some money doing the consulting before I took up the Full time job. I do Sai Vrat every year for the last 3 years and I have felt Baba’s presence every day throughout this time. We moved to the new place we always wanted to settle down in. The best miracle is Texas has a huge Baba temple, which we ended up going to for the first time on Guru Purnima day without knowing. It feels like almost being in Shirdi. So we try to go there every Thursday.

With the new job came new challenges and projects and I always used to get nervous and frustrated with the stressful projects, but Baba was always with me. I would chant His name in the meeting in my mind. On a huge project, where I was the lead, it was tough to implement. But Baba showed His presence, when I noticed one of the team members name was Sai. This was a huge shock to me as Baba was telling me that I am with you in this project, do not worry a bit.

I do not have words or where to stop while speaking about Baba’s presence and the experience He gives. Sorry for the lengthy post, I wanted to express everything I remember with the help of Baba in getting me this job and Baba helping me with the projects. Thank You Baba for everything You have given us and warding off all our worries with Your sweet miracles.

When He Came To Meet Me

Sai Sister Neha Ji from India says: My name is Neha Bajaj. I am a MBA student from Greater Noida. Currently, I am in first year and I am basically from Indore (M.P). First of all I would like to thank you, for giving me such a platform to share my experience with other Sai devotees. Every time I go through this blog, my faith in Sai increases many fold and I feel too blessed to be His daughter. This is the one experience, which still makes me shiver with His love and care. I am someone, who’s born and brought up in a family where my parents worship Baba as their Guru and so even I since childhood loved Baba.

This experience took place, when I was 18 and used to visit His temple regularly every Thursday. But one week, it happened that I was not able to do so due to my tuitions and I had to miss Aarti on Thursday. I remember, I felt sad that I had to skip it and was keeping my bag inside the car in the parking. Suddenly I saw a fakir coming towards me dressed in green attire with dhuni in His hand and jholi (bag) on His shoulder. He came and asked for some money. I paid no heed to Him as I didn’t had any change and got in the car. But then He stopped me and said “I am here just for you” and then He started blessing me by saying, “I wish your every problem and evil eye goes away”. As He did that, I saw He was empty handed, but then when He opened His hand, He had two coins of two Rs. each, which He gave me. Again the second time, when He opened His hand, He had another two coins of two Rs. I got too mesmerized seeing this. Then He said “Keep these in pooja and always respect and stay truthful to your parents”. And then again I don’t know how He gave me a silver coin with Om on one side and Laxmi Ganesh on the other side. I felt confused and doubtful, but I still as it was a Thursday gave Him a 50 Rs. note, which He declined and said “I am not here for money, I just came to meet you”. Still I don’t know why I forced Him to take the money. After forcing Him much, He smiled, took the money, took that note in His mouth and chewed it properly. I was amazed and then He left quickly.

It then struck four coins of two Rs. each and one silver coin, His attire, the dhuni, His words related to my parents (I used to argue a lot with them). I tried searching Him, but then there was no one on the empty road. I got home and told the whole incident to my mumma, she was amazed and had tears in her eyes. I showed her the coins and she checked if it really was a silver coin. No doubt it was silver. I then felt that it was Baba, who came to meet me as I was not able to visit Him that day. It was the time of Aarti, when He came to meet me and even took dakshina, but He ate it as I had doubts about Him. I wondered why I wasn’t able to recognise Him, my only savior and Guru. I then thanked Him and felt lucky that He loves me so much. I still have those coins and worship them on festivals.

Even today after so many years, I must say that Baba never left me alone in any up and down. He was always there, when I felt low and when I needed guidance. Everywhere I go, He is always there to guide me and look after me. He, that day, made my faith so strong that even if something happens, I feel that Baba won’t let anything bad happen to me. He’s watching me, testing my faith and then when I will stumble, He will hold me before I fall. I will never forget how He came to meet me and His dakshina (five coins). No wonder it was Him, who came to meet His daughter, when she wasn’t able to. It’s a true experience still makes me cry with joy and faith. Thank You Baba.

Sai Baba Came To My House This New Year

Anonymous Devotee from India says: OM SAI RAM. First I want to thank Hetal Ji for creating this blog, which increases our faith on Baba day by day. Please don’t mention my name and ID. During my 6th std, I went to Sai Baba temple 2 times. I kept my pen at the feet of Baba and felt that pen was very lucky for me. This was during 2002. After that I did not go to Sai temple and I did not realize the greatness of Sai at that age, but we kept one Sai idol in our pooja room. But I never prayed to Baba not even a single day. Now I became a staunch devotee of Baba from June 2012, after 10 years Baba pulled me towards Him.

Every New year, we will go to Parthasarathy Perumal temple, but in 2006 new year we were travelling in auto. And the auto man left us at Baba temple and my father and the auto man were arguing. But my father told to drop us at Parthasarathy temple and the auto man thought it as Baba temple. Finally we went to Parthasarathy temple only. Next year (i.e. 2007) was the worst New Year. So many problems happened at that time. Now I thought Baba already know these things and that’s why He asked us to come in 2006 New Year itself.

One day I saw some pictures in my friend’s mobile. Then immediately I saw a Baba picture. I don’t know I did not worship Him, but I kept His picture as a wallpaper of my phone. After entering Baba’s picture into my phone, within 2-3 months, I also worshiped Baba and became very close to Baba day by day. Every Thursday I and my mom go to Sai Baba temple that too from last 6 months. I browsed and kept a Sai golden throne picture as a wallpaper of my system.

On 27th December 2012 (Thursday), I and my mom planned to buy a Sai calendar in Sai Temple. I saw there also a Sai golden throne calendar and wanted to buy it. My mom told me to buy another one in which there was Baba’s big size face only so that it will be visible clearly. So we bought and came to home .On 28th December 2012(Friday), one lady from our cable TV operator distributed some calendars in our area and when I came at the gate of my house and that lady asked me if you want Baba calendar. And I was very surprised. When I saw that calendar, it was very surprising for me because it was a Sai golden throne calendar and I checked with that lady there was only one Baba calendar. Rest of them was other God’s calendar. So Baba fulfilled my desire. After two days, my father also gave me a Baba calendar. Every year my father bought so many calendars from his office, but this year only he bought Baba calendar. Since my childhood, we had so many God’s calendar, but we did not have a single Baba calendar. But now Baba itself came to my house on this New Year and I felt very happy. Now I completed my graduation in 2012 and searching for a job. I don’t want to go for an IT job. I want a government job and due to blessings of our Sai I cleared one competitive exam and now waiting for my Interview. Baba, please bless me for my interview and always show a right path to us.

Please forgive me if there are any mistakes.OM SAI RAM. Baba, please burn our bad karmas and always show a right way.
