Anonymous Devotee from Canada says: Hello, Firstly, I would like to thank you for considering my experience to be shared. Please forgive any unforeseeable mistakes, as this is my first time doing so. I currently reside in Canada, and have been in touch with Baba for about four years now. Day by day, and experience by experience, my faith strengthens. I feel very blessed to feel the presence of Baba in my tough times, as a guiding light Who is and always will be watching over me. As promised, I would like to share couple of my experiences, rather miracles, having observed the Sai Nav Guruvar Vrat. I am in my early twenties, and lately have faced many tough times in terms of my studies, finances, personal life etc. It seemed as if everything seemed to have crashed down at once, and I hit rock bottom. I am very worried about my future, career wise and otherwise. Having had faith, and realizing that no matter how low things get, I still should be happy for what I have, I tried to keep moving forward.

I was inspired to observe the Sai Nav Guruvar Vrat by reading other experiences and Sai Baba stories, by reading many other experiences of devotees, especially those observing the Sai Nav Vrat. There are many miracles of myself to describe. I have no idea where to start from and where to end, if I can. At this point I am just putting my trust on Baba, and writing as it comes to my mind. I feel very small and with great humility even ashamed at times that what good have I done to receive Baba’s guidance and blessings? With so many mistakes that I have made, even broken promises to Baba, I still feel His blessings. I just want to take this chance and say Thank You Baba for everything. I know the whole world can turn away from me, but You will always be there. Thank You for everything, words are too short to describe. It makes me want to be a better person, and I need Your guidance to become closer to You.

As for my experience(s), Having gone through already a rough time i.e. downfall in studies, losing career path, accumulating student debts, and on top of that financial scam that I got, I was facing turmoil in my life. It felt as if nothing was going right. I am highly career minded, and studies are very important for me and my family. But somehow, with faults of my own, I just could not manage the pressure, and burden of expectations. I started losing myself, and ultimately everything around me fell apart. It was a combination of many things going on at once that gave me every reason to lose hope in life. However, what really prompted me to observe the Sai Nav Guruvar Vrat was my attachment to someone I could not understand. I felt greatly hurt by someone who had no intention of hurting me. But somehow his actions and things around me related to him seemed to really get to me personally. I felt as if I was being lied to and reality was bigger than I could imagine. I tried my best to stay away, and mind my own business like I always do, however, my thoughts seemed to have centred around that one person with so many doubts and questions in my mind. I felt like hating him, but could not. I really didn’t know what went inside my mind, and why I seemed to have taken everything so seriously. Highly disturbed by some of his actions, and what I think were lies, I observed the Sai Vrat. In spite of everything else that was going on, my main intention seemed to have been this. I wanted to know his reality. I wanted answers to many of my doubts.

Without getting in to so much detail, I would just like to say miracles and wonders that have happened since I observed this Vrat. It was my first time. And I tried to do as I can. It took me more than double the time to complete the Vrat as I skipped many Thursdays in between. I started sometime back in February 2014, however i made many mistakes in between. I had specially stopped doing it since the financial scammed that I suffered through. However, I started again in May and recently completed it. In spite of my many mistakes, Baba did not punish me or leave my hand. My will to complete it got stronger and by His grace I finished it. All I can say is that if your intentions are pure, and conscience internally is clear, (though I don’t think mine was or ever will be as clean as it should be), Baba will help you. I used to read His 11 assurances and gain peace of mind. At times I felt like I only remember Him in my bad times, because that’s when I start reading experiences, Sai Satcharitra etc. However, I am and always will be forever grateful to Baba for coming into my life and making me His daughter.

As for the concluding experience, it was surrounded by some very wrong impressions of that person that I wanted answers to. I wanted to know his reality. And it unfolded in front of me like I never imagined possible. I had it in my mind that if I get to know the truth about this person it should be in a Thursday and that is exactly what happened this September. Many of my misunderstandings were cleared automatically due to Baba’s miracle. I became closer to that person than I was ever before. I wanted him to tell me the truth about his life on his own without being asked, and that happened on its own, on a Thursday! This was beyond my imagination, and nothing less than a miracle. I told Baba many times in my heart that if he is wrong type of person, then it should unfold in front of me. Or if there is a different reality that surrounds him, please let it unfold without me having to ask. I felt too attached, though I tried my best to keep away because his reputation regarding character was not that good. Who am I to say, but it really used to hurt me personally for some reason when I heard wrong things about him. But I was wrong in many ways, and Baba helped me see this. Things did unfold in front of me, and my wrong impression was cleared, at least most of it.

Next, on the concluding day of the Vrat, I went to Mandir to perform all due formalities, and while prostrating in front of Baba, I saw a Ladoo on my side which brought a thought in my mind that what if Pandit ji asks me to have this. I never thought it would happen, because Prasad table was on the opposite end and Prasad was not running out there. These ladoos were placed specially around Baba. As Pandit ji handed me over sweets from the table, I started eating them and thought “before I finish this one, would he ask me for another one?” To my surprise, just before my last bite of the sweets, Pandit ji himself told my mom “Yeh Ladoos Specially India Se Aaye Hai, Take More (These Ladoos have come specially from India)” He handed them to my mom, to which she said, to give to me with his own hands. I was stunned!! Maybe you have to be there and experience your thoughts being read to really realize how overwhelming this situation can be. Words are not sufficient to describe every feeling at times. I was more than happy to know that Baba read my thoughts. The ladoos were on a different pile than I imagine, but they were around Baba’s Idol and specially came from India.

Next, Last Thursday on Diwali, I had a dream of Baba’s Idol wrapped in a red cloth. I try and visit temple on Thursdays and at times I bring a little scarf to put around His Idol. I thought to myself of bringing something red as per my dream. However, I could only get orange, which I thought was close enough. When I went to the temple, and saw Baba, He was already wearing Red. I was more than happy. My orange scarf complimented His outfit perfectly. I was really pleased to get such hints and indications from Baba, which tell me that He is there no matter what. Last Thursday, on Diwali there was to be a solar eclipse, during which we are not allowed to touch the Idols. Baba gave me just enough time to finish my Darshan before Pandit ji announced the start of the eclipse. Once again I was thrilled because I was running late, but made it just in time of announcement. Baba I love You tremendously, and it’s enough to know You will always be there to hold my hand through good times and bad, happy or sad. I could really relate to the story that Baba holding your hand is better than you holding His, because during trial times you can leave His hand, but He will Never leave yours. In spite of my many mistakes, sins and troubles, when I have no reason to live, thank You for giving me hope. Please always be there, for everyone, and help us all on the right path. Om Sai Ram.

    Baba, Please help us not to get stuck in mundane worldly affairs, Please bless us to ask for your NAME only. Please fill me with your Bhakthi ;((, Please help me to feel your strong presence whenever I sit for meditation ;-(

    Baba you have given me more than I deserved, Please make me worthy of your grace, so that I do not ask anything except whatever you want me to give yourself.

    Please make me content, as whatever I will ask EXCEPT YOU, will be CAUSE of Pain. YOU are the only PEACE, I do not need anything EXCEPT YOU.

    Love & Peace 🙂

  5. OM SAI RAM

    Dear Sister, Who said that I am sadistic in 19th June Comments, First of all, I love you immensely. Thanks for your time to comment. x-)

    ( I am commenting not to prove you wrong, but just to say that everybody is at different level of spiritual progress, BUT at the end everybody HAS TO REACH ONE GOAL, So you and me are the same, not different but ONE, PART of that Super consciousness).

    I am not sadistic (That’s very strong word), But I am SAT-CHIT-ANAND (I have been told this by my parents since childhood, & I am on Journey to explore my true nature-SAT, CHIT, ANAND). I have not turned to BABA since I am CHILDLESS, But been blessed with MOTHER which inculcated NAAM-JAP since the age of 5 in me (THANK YOU MY DEAR FIRST GOD). Being blessed, I learned my first language by the age of 7, since then doing the reading the religion of my parents were following. (I was so spiritual that I never wanted to get married, But Karma played it role). Yes Baba been with me since many lives, and shown HIS presence in 2010. Since then I have sent many spiritual experiences to this site (PRE-Baba and Pro Baba Period Experiences). :))

    My dear Lord has showered HIS Blessings in form of great life- Be it prosperity, education ,wealth, Love, high positions, businesses, world around trips- to a such an extent that most people around by get jealous. On top of that, got blessed with contentment, love, peace, wisdom and lots of blessings. The top most blessing I think is HIS HAND ON MY HEAD THAT HE NEVER LETS ME FORGET HIM, HE IS ALWAYS AROUND ME, with me. (h)

    Oh Yes dear Devotees, I am always beaming with radiance. Love, joy and laughter and I am the positive person who have helped many people who has been suffering from depression (MY Dear Deva have blessed with my a position and business in such a place that HE can use me as an instrument to help DEPRESSED souls- people find Happiness in my company and I have been able to provide HOPE to them to live life in GRATITUDE, THANKFULLNESS, and being the Embodiment of LOVE- I can be called the person who gives lessons on positivity =)) ).

    Dear Devotees, my mother has always prayed (ONLY PRAYER )that all of her kids are UNITED TO HIS FEET and WE also do the same prayer- as Baba has made us to realize the futility of EVERYTHING ELSE, ONLY HIS NAME GIVES Contentment (VIN Tudh Hor Je mangana, Sir DUKhan ke Dukh, DEH naam Santokhiya, utre Man ke Bhukh- IF I ASK FOR ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT YOUR NAME, IT WILL BRING US MORE AND MORE PAINS, ITS ONLY HIS TRUE NAME THAT APPEASE THE HUNGER OF MIND And GIVES CONTENTMENT). 🙂

  6. PART-2

    For me being enemy to my parents, Yes I hurted my dad a lot when Baba chose me to go for an inter-caste and Inter religion marriage (so in a way my dad paid-off HIS karma by myself being his child to go against HIS wishes- though my dad is now really happy with the decision). I did not say that kids will turn enemies to the parents-INFACT kids are enemies from past life, to whom we are most indebted. 😕

    Yes my sister agrees that WE should never ask for anything from GOD, as in her dreams she was constantly being told that her second child is also a boy(it was long time even before BABA came into our life, being very spiritual she was also told in her dreams about her first child about being Boy, and even child’s name was also give in dream)-so she constantly started to pray for girl child, she had girl child but girls’ urine pipes were still working as a male chld- that’s why she spent 2 years in OSLO Hospital. So should she have not asked for girl, she could have devoted that time in her spiritual progress? :p

    Yes Dear sister this SADISTIC person is still not ready to PRAY for child from BABA-Even if someone bless me saying that may you be blessed with child- I always pervert back saying that please pray that I REACH THAT DESTINATION in this very life. [-(

    Devotees, I am living queen-size materialistic life, BABA HAS GIVEN ME Everything without even ASKING- but I find real peace in HIS NAME. (DID you guys notice that many KINGS from INDIAN HISTORY turned out to be REAL BHGATAS-Reason? THEY HAD EVERYTHING, but they realized THAT EVERYTHING did not give contentment, so they turned towards GOD. On other hand a person who have not EXPERIENCED pinnacle of materlistic world-still hope to achieve more and more and hopes that once one gets this much wealth, then one will content, but that never happens) :-b

    My dear Baba does not want me to entangle in world, HE had limited my social ties by sending in country where I do not have any relatives and MY BABA knows everything for my GOOD-why should I pester HIM with any worldly desire? BABA tries to keep me away from social life as well. cheer

    You won’t believe Dear devotees, the day I start I think that this person is my good friend, BABA makes that person to ditch me in one or other way- MY DEAR BABA LOVES ME SO MUCH, that whenever I STARTS TO THINK ABOUT WORLDLY FRIENDSHIPS, HE BECOME JEALOUS and MAKE SUCH SO-CALLED friend to ditch me. :d

    SO I am living this life with my BABA, MY DEAR LORD and I am living this LIFE FOR MY BABA.
    YES dear Devotees I am in love and I AM IN LOVE WITH ALL OF YOU. :-). Love to my dear sister for your prayers who called me sadistic (Does not bother me whatever I am called, as I am beaming with love at the moment and though this comment might help somebody in need)

    May Baba bless all of us with spiritual progress by leaps and bounds (f)

    LOVE AND PEACE

    • REALLY YOU TOLD ALL MY HEART HERE….MAY BE I AM UNEMPLOYED BUT STILL I FEEL TRUE HAPPINESS IN SAIMAAA LOVE I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO ANYONE I ONLY WANT BABA THROUGHOUT MY LIFE MAY BE I DIDN'T GET ANY THING WEALTH,FAME ETC ETC ….REALLY HATS OFF (h)

    • Dear sai sister,

      I would like to share with you and everyone few things in response to your post. Firstly please do not take it personally . it is just my opnion that i have gained during my prayer to baba post reading ur msg
      Sprituality is when one in true sense gets detached from all the worldly affairs , emotions and is content with with they have . In true sense is not even seeking god but lives for him with him… This is a very difficult state to reach as we are just humans with heart mind and soul that bear emotions within us ..
      When we say there are saints who have reached such level of sprituality we talking about more of incarnation of god like our deva Sai…
      Now all of us try to be at some level ( mayb beginners level) to be spritual by meditating on our sai ,praying etcc…. And we must continue doing that ..
      We as humans have the desires and wishes within us and i truely believe that we must while praying put our requests of our needs to our sai … We must ask sai for what we want . It can be a child job or health..
      Sai said in satcharitra "whoever comes to me with utmost faith love and devotion i will fulfill his heart felt desires" .similarly in bible jesus say "ask and you shall receive" .. And so on in other holly books… Butbkey here is we must not for get to be humble in our prayers .. We must not get obssessed or too desperate with our desires that we forget the other things in life… This will not only shake our faith but also question our love and devotion on baba…
      If we truly have faith in sai and love him then we must leave it on him to take care of our desires….
      lastly hummbleness is achieved not by asking deva please give me this or please give me that… Or please fulfill my wish or so n so thing … I true sense humbleness is when we request god to match our desire with his and give us what he thinks is best for us .. Leaving rest in his hands …
      hope this helps someone in there spritual journey and enlighten them fully .. Rest baba is there om sai ram

    • Dear devotee…. Who has posted part-2 your words and thoughts are so deep and inspirational…. Please keep posting your comments…. It will help other devotees like me in the spiritual journey and in everyday life

  7. saibaba bless all baba…bless my amma with good health baba…her sugar levels should be normal baba…bless my brother to get medical seat baba…bless him and guide him for a bright future baba…bless my sister's life and her kids baba…soon she should get government job in her hometown baba…please forgive me for my mistakes baba…really i need your help baba..please help me to get job in my hometown within this month baba…please help me baba…i really need your help baba…please baba…Om Sai Ram Om Sai Ram Om Sai Ram

    • Dear Devotee,
      Baba knows everything, if you read Sai Satcharita you would have come across devotee Saptnekar who initially made fun of Baba and ultimately become his devotee. For you I would say keep you faith on him as you are already doing and your wish will sure to fulfill

    • Thank u devotees for all ur good words.My wish was to marry to whom I loved but he got married to someone else.my wish will not be fulfiled because it is impossible and now I have accepted the decision what baba has taken for me.

    • Hats off to your unconditional and selfless love for Baba. Our Sai must have got a very good life partner in store for you. Not very long on this website we came across a devotee who put through experience regarding her love being not fulfilled but later she had a very good life partner. Everything happens for your own good 🙂 .
      So we all pray for you to get a good life partner
      Om Sai Ram
